My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 234 - 179: Awakening

Xia Panqiu: "..."

"Do you need help over there?"

Chen Lusi didn't say anything further, releasing her wet long hair, then turned to Li Zheng and asked.

"No need."

Li Zheng didn't have time to respond.

Yu Zhou's voice, solemn and resonant as if echoing with thunder, rang out.

"...Then I'll go back first, I've carried out your orders."

Chen Lusi, hearing the confirmed answer, once again looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng nodded slightly.

Chen Lusi turned his head back again and removed the rope from Xia Panqiu's neck.

Xia Panqiu lowered her head slightly, allowing him to take off the rope, and then she didn't raise her head again.

Until.

Chen Lusi's voice rang out once more: "Thanks."

Xia Panqiu was startled for a moment and slowly looked up.

"Exchange."

But Chen Lusi no longer looked at her; instead, he directly shouted out to exchange.

Immediately.

Wu You appeared where he had once stood.

Chen Lusi left.

His time there wasn't long... yet it made the atmosphere feel particularly stagnant.

He had been gone for a while, and no one spoke.

Until.

Boom——

Thunder unexpectedly burst again.

Yu Zhou, surrounded by electric light, grasped Geoffrey, suddenly ascending into the air from afar, then descended with thunderous momentum.

Countless dense electric arcs crawled beneath Yu Zhou's feet.

His hair stood upright, and one could no longer see the pupils in his eyes, replaced by tiny flickering sparks.

"Anna, right?"

Yu Zhou glanced toward where Chen Lusi had been, then looked at Hamiti's broken corpse on the ground, finally turning his gaze to the tall Anna.

Then, he threw Geoffrey, whose skin was scorched black, at her feet.

Geoffrey hit the water heavily, rolled forward a few times, and ended up at Anna's feet.

"You are indeed quite bold."

Yu Zhou's eyes, which seemed devoid of pupils, glared at Anna as electricity around him became increasingly agitated, and the thick cloud above churned violently: "I don't know if when you did those things just now, you intended to represent the Sikopuqi Sect or the entire Russian Orthodox Church.

Betraying allies, seizing allied weapons, even planning to act against allies...

If you're representing the Sikopuqi Sect, then I have the right to enact retribution against you, but if you're representing the Russian Orthodox Church...then that means breaking the treaty. I don't know if you understand what that implies. If you don't, you could ask your Bishop now."

Once Yu Zhou finished speaking.

A muffled rumble came from above, and from the dense clouds, thunderheads protruded, ready to strike.

And Li Zheng, Shu Li, Xia Panqiu, the newly arrived Wu You, and other members of the Security Army also turned their eyes to Anna.

"..."

Anna looked at the corpse on the ground, then at Yu Zhou, who was enshrouded in frenzied thunder, her already pale face turning even whiter.

Though Yu Zhou's Authority Ability had many flaws, such as not being easy to trigger and relying somewhat on the weather.

But at the same time, his Authority had a major advantage.

Which was— once he successfully activated his Authority, it would only grow stronger over time.

Especially once it formed into a scale.

And now, the heavy cloud above was a significant sign of such scale forming.

Anna had no illusion that she could get out unscathed, even though following Chen Lusi's departure, the 'Saint' he was carrying had calmed down.

She didn't think that by putting down the 'Saint', she could retreat entirely unscathed either.

Because she not only needed to face Yu Zhou in front of her, but also… Chen Lusi.

"Answer me!"

Seeing Anna's silence, Yu Zhou suddenly shouted angrily, his voice echoing.

Solemn and majestic, as if creating some resonance with the thunder above, deafening.

The others behind Anna could no longer maintain their emotionless faces, their expressions also turning extremely pale.

"..."

Anna remained silent for a moment, slowly lowered her head, barely suppressing her trembling voice: "I represent only the Sikopuqi Sect."

Yu Zhou: "That means I can enact vengeance upon you."

"...Please don't do this."

Anna struggled to maintain her composure: "I'm willing to pay any price as an apology."

Yu Zhou shook his head: "I'm not interested in apologies from those who betray their allies on the battlefield."

Anna took a deep breath, speaking softly: "That's merely a lack of sincerity... Everything has a price."

"..."

Yu Zhou seemed somewhat in agreement upon hearing this, but did not immediately speak, instead looking at Anna who had slightly lowered her head, seemingly pondering.

Anna waited.

Finally.

After a while.

Yu Zhou spoke: "Put down the 'Saint' you're carrying."

"!"

Hearing this, Anna suddenly raised her head, a hint of shock and fury appearing on her pale face: "Impossible! That's our 'Saint'! Even if you wanted me to leave with you it'd be fine, but the 'Saint'..."

Yu Zhou directly interrupted her, then asked expressionlessly: "Then what about the sniper rifle you were about to take earlier, was it not ours?"

Anna: "..."

...

At the same time.

A sensation of weightlessness came.

After a moment of daze, Chen Lusi returned to his original spot.

"...Are you okay?"

Zhou Jian was holding a piece of sheepskin paper, and upon seeing Chen Lusi reappear unharmed, his expression was extremely complex... somewhat excited, somewhat delighted, and at the same time relieved.

He already knew about what had just happened over at Li Zheng's side.

"I'm fine."

Chen Lusi heard Zhou Jian's words, gently shook his head, then glanced at the sheepskin paper in his hand.

"This fell out right after Xia Panqiu emerged from the Anomaly Realm, I reckon the First Rider Position used it to trap you."
