National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Sparrow was like a man seized by the throat of fate itself.

The final, defiant roar of struggle never escaped its prison, dying before it was even born.

His head, beneath its seemingly tough layer of flesh and skin,

crumbled like fragile glass, instantly disintegrating into dust.

The once burly and powerful body, now deprived of its supporting frame,

was like a small mountain collapsing with a thunderous crash,

smashing heavily onto the cold ground.

Then, carried by inertia,

it rolled several times through the dust and gravel before finally coming to a rest,

plunging into eternal silence, the candle of its life extinguished, not a breath remaining.

Chu He’s expression was as calm as still water, as if everything was under his control.

He simply took a single step forward.

It seemed like an ordinary step,

but it was like dropping a massive boulder into a calm lake, one capable of stirring up monstrous waves.

In that instant,

Spiritual Power, as vast and boundless as a galaxy,

erupted like a primordial beast breaking free from its chains,

like a torrential flood bursting through a dam.

With unstoppable force,

it surged like a tidal wave into the minds of Sparrow and the other members of the Werewolf Clan.

The fires of their lives had just been extinguished,

and their souls still lingered around their cooling corpses like wandering spirits, not yet departed.

Chu He’s Spiritual Power was like a pair of invisible, nimble hands,

sifting swiftly through the treasure troves of their minds.

The chaotic fragments of memory, scattered like stars,

were sorted by Chu He’s powerful Spiritual Power, presenting themselves clearly before him.

He absorbed them all into the vast expanse of his own consciousness at an incredible speed,

effortlessly claiming his prize with absolute superiority, without any hindrance or delay.

”You can just directly access the information in the minds of this Werewolf Clan?”

Like a nimble Butterfly, Xia Chengli drifted over with light steps.

Her bright, clear eyes, like two twinkling stars, were now filled with astonishment and confusion.

She tilted her head slightly, looking both adorable and curious, and asked softly, ”How on earth did you do that?”

”This is the result of powerful Spiritual Power, not a specific Martial Arts Secret Technique.”

Chu He saw right through Xia Chengli’s little scheme.

’He knew this girl always had a keen interest in new and powerful techniques. She must be asking because she’s taken a liking to this amazing ability and wants to learn it for herself.’

”Oh, okay.”

Upon hearing this,

the curious light in Xia Chengli’s eyes instantly dimmed,

like a brilliant star suddenly losing its luster. Her interest receded as quickly as the tide.

She was well aware of her own situation.

She possessed astonishing Martial Arts Power, enough to shake the heavens and the earth,

but when it came to Spiritual Power, compared to her amazing Martial Arts Cultivation,

it was like a pile of dirt next to a towering mountain—small, weak, and utterly fragile.

”Should I go and eliminate those escaped Superhumans, root and stem, to prevent any future trouble?”

Xia Chengli blinked her lively eyes and asked again,

her tone tinged with an eagerness for a new fight.

”There’s no need.

I already know everything I wanted to.

Those who fled are nothing more than clowns; they can’t cause any real trouble.”

Chu He gently shook his head,

his eyes revealing a confidence so profound he wouldn’t flinch even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him.

It was as if all things were within his grasp, every eventuality easily handled.

”Did you also see the arrangements made by Florian, the Clan Leader of the Werewolf Clan?”

Xia Chengli asked, her eyes full of envy and longing.

’If only I could master such an overwhelmingly powerful ability, one that could seemingly pry into all the secrets of the world... To be able to invade others’ minds so freely, to look through their information at will... then there would be few things in this world that could escape my notice, few secrets that could be kept from me.’

’If my Spiritual Power were strong enough,’

’maybe I could even slip into that old man’s unfathomable mind like a ghost and find out what kind of world-shattering secrets he’s hiding.’

At the thought, an irrepressible wave of excitement and anticipation swelled within her.

”What should we do with him?”

Xia Chengli’s gaze fell upon Qu Yuxiu, who was still sprawled on the ground.

Qu Yuxiu sharply felt her stare. Panic flared in his heart, and he quickly turned his head away,

pressing his lips together tightly, refusing to make a sound.

But his eyes surged with a resentment as intense as a violent tide.

He knew he had made a complete fool of himself in front of Xia Chengli yet again,

becoming a laughingstock.

’And the sole person to blame for all of this was Chu He.’

”I didn’t intend to take your life. I’m only sparing you for Xia Chengli’s sake.”

Like a cold, majestic deity, Chu He slowly walked over to Qu Yuxiu.

His posture was tall and straight like an ancient pine,

as he looked down from his superior height at the man on the ground.

Just then, the wounds on Qu Yuxiu’s body, which had not yet healed,

tore open again from his earlier struggles and panic, and fresh blood gushed out like a spring.
