Chapter 1258 - 631: No Darkness Beneath the Lamp_2
"'Mr. Ji,' we've got a problem."
Ji Liu squeezed in with a cheeky grin, placing his coffin-like weapon case on the table: "Give me the full package."
"Big Liu, you're being quite straightforward."
Ji Jue sighed, opening the case directly and ran his hand over a long sword. Instantly, brilliant light emerged from the blade. Under Non-Attack, adjustments to the spiritual structure, re-melting, and even repairs to the form were thoroughly completed, along with honing and polishing using the techniques from the Nine Forms Inheritance.
Finally, he lifted the sword's edge, giving it a slight shake, and the entire long sword seemed to come alive, singing.
In just less than five seconds, the maintenance and upkeep of a sword were completed in front of everyone's stunned expressions!
Ordinary craftsmen would need a whole day's work, but this was done in one go, without any rashness or just going through the motions. Anyone who took it in hand and felt it would discern the improved feel and unimpeded flow of spiritual energy, more fluent than before.
It was as if it had undergone meticulous reworking and tempering.
Although the overall structure hadn't changed, the details were vastly different, even the Association's rating slightly improved from A- to A.
Next were the axe, spear, handgun...
Like a flowing stream.
Once the whole set was completed, Ji Jue's surroundings became crowded.
"Mr. Ji, I came first!"
"Sincerely, Mr. Ji, look at mine, look at mine!"
"Check mine first!"
"Everyone, don't rush, take it slow, queue up, everyone will get their turn."
Ji Jue remained composed, his hands moving swiftly, completing the work visible to the naked eye.
Numerous weapons, armors, or accessories of the Chosen Ones flowed through his hands like water. Thanks were endless. Whether genuinely grateful or not, each person who reclaimed their gear and inspected it would gaze at Ji Jue with three parts more reverence.
"Mr. Ji, you've worked hard."
"No trouble at all."
"Mr. Ji, you're amazing! I planned to toss it, but you can fix it?"
"Just a small piece of work."
Ji Jue waved with a smile, accepting the next person's items, then glanced to the side amid his work: "An Ning?"
An Ning was silent for a moment, hesitant: "Hmm, I'm a bit unsure."
Thus, Ji Jue nodded in understanding: "It's the same to confirm it after taking it down."
"Alright."
The girl decisively stood up, stamping on the table and leaping swiftly, in mid-air, Fei Guang shot forth, breaking through, directly piercing the Ruins who had been gleefully cradling his gear.
In that instant of change, Ether froze, eyes wide in disbelief, instinctively screaming for help, calling out to Tong Shan in the co-driver's seat.
Tong Shan was indifferent.
Not only cold, but also slapped back at the one seeking aid!
Telekinesis surged like a storm, sealing everything instantaneously, encircling upon contact—in the same moment An Ning acted, decisively striking hard!
If Ji Jue senses a problem, there's no need to hesitate.
If there's no problem, there is one now!
—You, a Ruins, without a single piece of gear that enhances Perception and Reaction, being ambushed by Fei Guang, even if she deliberately slowed down for you, how could your neural reflexes be so fast?!
Boom!
For a moment, amidst the clash of telekinesis, the terror-stricken Ruins shattered—specifically, the human skin that draped over them.
Like a stone shell, the skin suddenly burst forth, turning into countless sharp fragments, indiscriminately assaulting everything inside the caravan.
At the same time, it sped out, crashing into the caravan, attempting to escape. In mid-air, a blue-gray hand rose, tightly gripping the exploding Fei Guang, fingers cracking with a sizzle.
Ultimately, a moment of opportunity was snatched.
No need for a moment, at the same time as telekinesis, the walls of the vehicle were within reach, just shattering a window to burst out speedily, leisurely far—
Bang!
The Wolf, originally speeding out, suddenly flew back.
Vision went dark.
As if crashing into an iron wall head-on!
Not only the restraining pull of telekinesis but the carriage itself, originally extremely fragile, suddenly seemed to morph into a mountain, immovable.
[Earth bears the sea]!
Ji Jue didn't even need to act; before letting An Ning strike, the entire vehicle had already become a cage. Forget a Wolf; if spiritual essence were invested, even a Close Defense Cannon could withstand more than two rounds.
At this moment, the Wolf, flying back after hitting the wall, screeched shrilly, its rolling sound waves abruptly spreading within the cabin. In the piercing howl, everyone's vision went dark; caught off guard, their repressed fear, anxiety, and confusion exploded instantly, involuntarily halting for a moment. Even those whose mental defenses weren't strong enough screamed out loud.
But immediately afterwards, Ji Jue clenched his five fingers into a fist, smashing into his palm.
The collision of metallic palms erupted with a loud noise.
The Sword Sound of Chun Jun spread, violently obliterating every force that manipulated consciousness and wavered hearts. Then, mercilessly slashed down upon everyone's souls.
Under the stimulus of pain, the Chosen Ones who were originally dazed instantly became clear-minded.
Not even waiting for the Wolf to land, Ji Xue's figure had already pounced forth, charging towards the revealed true form of the Mutated Transformation.
Like serving a dish.
