Chapter 2857 - 2852: Shared Purpose

Chapter 2857: Chapter 2852: Shared Purpose

We call it efficiency.

Of course, it’s not about indulging in theatrics here with Lord Pa Qi.

From when the latter said it was about time until now, not much time has passed.

And in the midst of laughter and conversation, the situation of the archipelago has almost been sorted out.

The master’s purpose, Yibu’s predicament, why the Code shines anew...

These issues entwine with each other, and even through interrogation, it would take considerable effort to clarify them.

Yet, amidst questions and evaluations, the archipelago’s stormy conflict has suddenly become clear.

Among the most relied upon, of course, is Lord Pa Qi’s extraordinary demeanor.

Whether hidden or prominent, as long as Professor Fu makes a sharp critique, effortlessly, it’s like reaching into a pocket and pulling everything out into the open.

Of course, this great power isn’t granted for free; first, one must make genuinely sharp critiques.

If ever even slightly misled by appearances, He couldn’t be bothered to offer any reminder.

In fact, misguiding people subtly has happened more than once or twice.

In summary, this is truly an epitome of a Deceiver’s sense of humor, but essentially, it’s a mutual understanding known to both parties.

Being mediocre must be acknowledged; fools are not qualified to know the truth, only meant to serve as fuel in their self-righteous world.

The purpose of the current "drinking wine and discussing heroes" is the same.

Sorting out the situation of the archipelago with astonishing efficiency is only the first step.

Lord Pa Qi was willing to appear earlier because it would be a pity to let this God of the Past’s lingering dream be wasted.

The way it wouldn’t be a pity, naturally, is to use its final ripple to peep into unknown secrets.

Yes, just as Fu Qian is interested in the matters of Annalise and even the Original Moon, Pa Qi seems to be an enthusiast of the Moon History Record.

Perhaps it’s uncertain which specific part He wants to know, and why He wants to know, but at least there is some consistency in their objectives.

Now that the situation is clear, and the warm-up is over, Professor Fu needs to showcase some real skills, making the most of this last bit of time.

After all, Lord Pa Qi’s stance is obvious; in this place, He can only provide support, just like verifying a few things earlier.

Fu Qian doesn’t think the other party is slacking off, and the reason is quite simple—

The core elements of this place are actually just two: Annalise’s Divine Dream and the Law.

And Professor Fu is both a "child" of the Red Moon and the "world weary" Pseudo-Law Core.

To explore the mysteries within and attempt to ignite a spark, who else but me?

Since it’s about mutual needs, Fu Qian naturally has no complaints and directly offered the next key point —

These are all unimportant; the ones hiding, like Old Master Lu, are the ones that matter.

As for the conflict between Yibu and Sha Ming, it can only be considered background music level.

Crack—

Even so, Fu Qian still cooperatively loosened his grip, letting the screen fall to the ground, as if startled by the thunder.

...

"What’s happening?"

Pa Qi naturally found it hard to understand this behavior, looking over with some confusion.

"Lord Yibu’s majestic power, even Divine Envoys can’t help but avoid it, let alone me."

Fu Qian shook his head in admiration, not feeling it was embarrassing at all.

And he indeed wasn’t wrong. The long-suppressed Yibu was obviously always gathering strength to resist, so when he unleashed, it was extraordinary.

Not only was it launched without any forewarning, but the strike area was also extremely narrow.

Like a trace of space being shattered, the peculiar bolt of lightning tearing through the void was just one, with almost no width, precisely landing on Sha Ming.

Hiss—

However, this triumphant strike seemed still ineffective in delivering a fatal blow.

On one hand, it triggered a bizarre sound effect; on the other, Sha Ming’s struck body surprisingly vanished in place the next moment.

When he reappeared, he was only about two steps away from Fu Qian.

Even with the eyes of the Abandonment King, the movement path couldn’t be seen in between, suggesting some wondrous application of the Law.

Moreover, considering Lord Sha Ming wasn’t wearing any clothing, the peculiar state of his skin became more pronounced at this distance.

Every keratin’s texture was overly clear, nearly giving the impression of scales, faintly making it hard to discern this one’s race.

Besides, along the spine, spiraling down, the previously space-ripping lightning amazingly didn’t vanish but remained solidified on the body.

Yibu’s resistance apparently wasn’t entirely ineffective, as if giving this one the surname Porter?

Fu Qian, in his moment of pondering, saw almost simultaneously, Yibu at the bow of the ship transformed into a streak of light and dashed away, clearly not having any intent to pursue.

...

Indeed, at the critical moment, the old master finally didn’t lose his cool.

Facing Yibu’s somewhat conservative action, Fu Qian gave it a high evaluation.

The victory wasn’t just that lightning scar.

Clearly, Yibu knew how to assess the situation; compared to attempting to eliminate a terrifying opponent with unknown powers and meticulous plans, escaping from the current dire situation was the right course.

Even though Sha Ming revealed his true form, making him suddenly appear somewhat introverted, one aspect was consistently maintained, which was that his feet hadn’t moved even half a step.

Thus, for Yibu, he was continuously in breach of the Code.

Therefore, this hard-earned ultimate move, if the opponent stood still and took the hit, would be ideal. Being forced to dodge was likewise a desirable outcome.

Even if neither was achieved, destroying the ship would still be acceptable.

Unfortunately, the ship seemed to have some protection; logically, even a trace of residual power from the lightning should have been able to destroy it hundreds of times, yet it only managed to tear a neat crack underfoot.

But regardless, the goal was achieved, and Old Master Yibu fled without a word.

Whether he can escape the archipelago or not next, is entirely up to him.

Ho—

Sha Ming, losing his prey, wasn’t in a hurry to chase but instead let out a more peculiar sound from his throat, deepening his alien presence.

Until the torn hull of the ship couldn’t bear it, making its first cracking sound, he finally walked on water, heading in the direction Yibu had left.

"Hmm... Are you going to leave this thing here? It’s indeed an interesting idea."

Currently, a few breaths’ time had passed since Pa Qi was curious about Fu Qian being startled by the thunder.

And with great effort, the former seemed to have understood Fu Qian, his gaze landing on the screen that would sooner or later sink into the water.

"Those two are clearly very interested in this thing, especially since Sha Ming probably has many tracking methods.

"And now, with just a little disguise, they may have to search for quite a while. After all, who would believe that the thing they’re looking for was once right beneath their feet?"

Snap—

As he spoke, Pa Qi snapped his fingers again, instantly making Brother Sanxun’s silhouette even dimmer, looking as if he wouldn’t struggle out of it for a while.

"Shut up! We can’t wait any longer!"

Immediately, the scene shifted from the sea, accompanied by Old Master Lu Ming’s familiar shout.
