The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 242 Slaying the Dragon!

The setting sun cast its light on the black dragon, making its black scales shimmer.

The scene was spectacular and breathtaking.

The people in the city were astonished by the sudden darkness and the clear blue sky. The dragon in the sky, now free of clouds, was no longer shrouded in mystery, but rather possessed a more beautiful and majestic appearance.

But somehow, the black dragon lost its oppressive aura and its majesty vanished.

Liu Shuo listened to Jiang Chuan finish speaking, and heard him say, "It's time to end this..."

He shuddered.

In the month that they had known each other, he had never seen such a look in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

So indifferent, even the dragon seemed like an ant in his eyes.

But if he's so powerful, why does he keep encountering danger?
Liu Shuo had read some of Jiang Chuan's files, in which Jiang Chuan's role in the Qingshan Tang Tomb was crucial. However, what he couldn't understand was the record that Princess Anle, Li Guo'er, brought Zhong Huahua back to the tomb intending to possess her, and Jiang Chuan risked his life to enter the cave and rescue Zhong Huahua. At first glance, this seemed reasonable, but upon closer examination, something felt off. After all, if Princess Anle had kidnapped Zhong Huahua, how could she not have killed Jiang Chuan? And how could Jiang Chuan have had the opportunity to rush into the cave to rescue Zhong Huahua?

Although it was definitely wrong, Liu Shuo hadn't paid much attention to it before. After all, it was a certainty that Jiang Chuan had confronted Li Guo'er head-on and successfully escaped. That already proved Jiang Chuan's strength was considerable... But now it seemed that the oversight was enormous.

Now, suddenly recalling all of this, and looking at Jiang Chuan, who was so powerful that it was difficult to feel any resistance, Liu Shuo suddenly sorted out the whole story in his mind.

"Back then... Princess Anle didn't possess Zhong Huahua, she possessed you!?"

"It wasn't you who rescued Zhong Huahua; it was you who broke free and escaped from the tomb with Zhong Huahua in tow!"

"You possess the means to resist possession...is that why?!"

"You've been hiding all along, waiting for this calamity to arrive before revealing these changes to the world!?"

Liu Shuo gasped, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"No wonder! No wonder!"

"No wonder Liu Hong and his men died!"

"No wonder Lu Bin couldn't kill you!"

Liu Shuo became more and more shocked as he spoke, his face filled with disbelief.

He got goosebumps all over his body, and even his voice trembled slightly:

"You've kept this ability hidden all this time; were you deliberately trying to lure me into making a move?!"

"How could that be?"

How did you know I would make a move!?

"Do you also possess the ability of divination!?"

Jiang Chuan chuckled but did not reply.

At that moment, Liu Shuo suddenly awoke with a start: "Kill him! He must not be spared!"

Ao Yin was willing to kill, do many things, and obey Liu Shuo's orders in order to gain freedom.

But faced with such a powerful opponent, it was unwilling to make a move at this moment and wanted to escape.

At this moment, blood seeped from Liu Shuo's eyes, flowing down his cheeks like tears of blood. In that instant, an incomparably powerful spiritual force exploded on Ao Yin's forehead! It was multicolored and so powerful even after a thousand years, showing just how terrifying it was back then! Liu Bowen used the Nine Provinces Dragon Vein to suppress Ao Yin back then, and this backup plan has finally been revealed at this moment!
The colorful spiritual energy, after exploding from Ao Yin's forehead, transformed into streaks of light that wrapped around Liu Shuo's body, disappeared into his mind, and condensed in his hand... It was practically like a rein for controlling a dragon!

At this moment, the mental chains left behind by Liu Bowen are truly activated!

The black dragon instantly went berserk, and suddenly stretched out its sharp claws towards Jiang Chuan. The speed was extremely fast, and the sharpness of the claws seemed to be an extremely sharp weapon made by nature itself. The size of the claws was such that even a single fingernail could cut Jiang Chuan in half at the waist!
Liu Shuo completely lost his mind: "I will kill you!"

Jiang Chuan remained calm, showing no intention of backing down.

He remained motionless even when the enormous dragon claw was less than an inch away from his chest.

Although it wasn't clear enough from the ground, the dragon's body was indeed enormous, and it was still possible to see that Jiang Chuan was in danger, a perilous situation that caused a gasp of alarm.

However... the exclamations suddenly stopped.

Because the dragon claw suddenly stopped just as it was about to pierce Jiang Chuan's body.

Song Chen's pupils shrank: "It's spatial ability!"

On the dragon's head, Liu Shuo's expression was extremely gloomy.

He never expected that such a sudden attack would be completely ineffective against him. How could he possibly fight back against such an ability?
The power of space was like a bug in the system; this scene caused Liu Shuo to completely lose his will to fight.

He stopped Ao Yin from fighting and wanted to escape.

Liu Shuo pulled on the "reins," and the black dragon immediately turned its head to the west, preparing to escape quickly.

But at this moment...

"Didn't you want to kill me?"

"Why are you leaving again?"

Jiang Chuan's voice floated lightly into Liu Shuo's ears. The voice was extremely close, as if it were right behind Liu Shuo.

Liu Shuo turned around sharply to look, but Jiang Chuan did not move.

But when I turned around, I felt a violent thud, like a car accident, and suddenly heard a loud "dong" like a bell ringing in my ears!

An invisible barrier blocked their path! It was the dragon's head that had violently crashed into that barrier, the impact extremely severe.

Liu Shuo was surprised and quickly changed direction, trying to escape.

But just as they turned around, there was another loud bang.

I tried all directions—east, west, south, north—and even up and down, but it didn't work.

It was as if there was a huge "box" that completely bound him inside.

"how……"

"When?"

Liu Shuo was completely dumbfounded.

Jiang Chuan didn't even move. He didn't even sense any fluctuations in his mental energy. When did this huge "box," which resembled a barrier, appear?
Remembering Jiang Chuan's earlier statement that "it's all over," Liu Shuo finally understood... Jiang Chuan had already decided the outcome back then! No wonder he had stood there without moving! Now, thinking back, how ridiculous his earlier words, "I will definitely kill you," sounded to Jiang Chuan!?

But Liu Shuo didn't care about saving face at this moment.
His mind went blank. Who in this world could possibly have the means to kill Jiang Chuan? Was this variable truly impossible to eliminate?!
But Liu Shuo's confusion was instantly jolted awake, because at that moment... the dragon's body moved.

However, Liu Shuo himself did not give any instructions to Ao Yin, who was completely under his control.

It's that "box" that's pressing in from all directions!
This "box" is gradually shrinking!

"Jiang Chuan!"

Liu Shuo was truly anxious at this moment. Before the operation, he had calculated his fortune for the day and found no bloodshed or fatalities whatsoever. Although it is said that one cannot calculate for oneself when calculating for others, given the scale of the operation, Liu Shuo had already had others calculate his own situation. Therefore, no matter how formidable Jiang Chuan's strength had been, he had never worried about his own safety.

But now things were different. His eyes widened, and he roared in terror, "You can't kill me!"

"I shouldn't have died today!"

Jiang Chuan remained silent, while Ao Yin's enormous body continued to be squeezed.

The enormous bodies that had been soaring through the sky were now huddled together. The massive, hard black scales were grinding together under the pressure, making a sound that made one's teeth ache. Some of the scales had even cracked, and dragon blood was seeping out from beneath them, dripping down. One of the dragon claws was deeply embedded in the scales. The entire dragon was tightly coiled up, and its once invincible appearance was now quite pitiful.

Although those watching this scene could not see the "box," they could discern some clues from the deformation of the dragon's body as it was compressed.

This scene is incredibly exaggerated... it's chilling just to look at it.

Liu Shuo was still struggling, roaring:
"I can't die here!"

"This goes against the natural order!"

"Jiang Chuan! Such actions will bring you great disaster!"

"You...stop it!"

Jiang Chuan acted as if he hadn't heard anything, watching helplessly as the dragon writhed in agony. Even Liu Shuo, who was standing on the dragon's head, was now lying down, struggling to look at Jiang Chuan and barely able to speak.

Liu Shuo could feel his chest being squeezed, and every bone in his body was creaking.

He felt despair.

After reviewing so many of Jiang Chuan's action reports, Liu Shuo understood that even if Jiang Chuan wasn't a ruthless person, he never showed mercy when facing enemies and would do everything in his power to kill them quickly. Whether it was Guo Wenjie on the highway, the fortune teller named Xu Linlin, or even the completely shut-down AI Nine Paths… "Die here?"

He was not reconciled.

However, at that moment, a flash of lightning appeared on the horizon.

A majestic voice echoed from afar: "Spare their lives!"

"Jiang Chuan! This dragon could be a great help!"

"And there are still questions to ask!"

"Don't kill it!"

As soon as the voice appeared, Liu Shuo's expression changed immediately, as if he had grasped a lifeline, and a smile even appeared on his lips.

"I knew it! How could I possibly die here!"

"Heaven doesn't want me to die! My life isn't meant to end!"

"Jiang Chuan! I know the fault lies with me. You have demonstrated your strength. I swear I will never lay a hand on you again!"

He could sense that the continuous compression stopped the moment Mr. Zhou appeared.

In order to save his life, Liu Shuo naturally made compromises and concessions.

Jiang Chuan is a smart man and will naturally prioritize the overall situation. Now that Mr. Zhou has spoken, Jiang Chuan will never refuse to give Mr. Zhou face!

Whether for the sake of future prospects or the subsequent allocation of headquarters resources, he would never kill himself!
As long as I don't die, then there are new variables!

The expressions of everyone in the room changed; they had, of course, heard Mr. Zhou's voice.

Indeed, that was the case. Since the dragon could be controlled by people, it could naturally be used by the headquarters.

But reason is reason...

This dragon has caused such heavy losses, really... should we not kill it?
In the sky, Jiang Chuan smiled after hearing Liu Shuo's words:
"Make a vow?"

"The Oath of Beixinqiao?"

"Would I believe you?"

Liu Shuo's expression changed repeatedly; he hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to still want to kill him!
He was about to say something when he saw Jiang Chuan had already opened his palm.

At the same time, Mr. Zhou seemed to have heard Jiang Chuan's words from several kilometers away. Just then, a bolt of lightning shot out from an extremely distant location! And its target... was none other than Jiang Chuan!

However, the lightning bolt was destined not to reach Jiang Chuan's location. During its flight, it was suddenly changed direction by an unknown force, shooting straight into the sky and exploding in the sky, turning into a magnificent thunderstorm!

At the same time, Jiang Chuan's hand clenched tightly!
Countless people in the city witnessed a scene they would never forget!
Huge gaps appeared instantly!

The most outrageous part is that the dragon's body was completely severed!

There was also a huge gap in the center of the dragon's brow...

It seemed as if countless giant swords had viciously pierced into that "box"!
Squinting to look closely, one realizes it's not just a "seem"! One can see those transparent giant swords reflecting light under the sun!

Blood gushed out instantly from inside the box!

The blood was confined within a rectangular space, making it resemble an extremely bizarre and enormous work of art.

After the final twist, it completely lost its vitality, suddenly stiffened, and hardened like a broken sculpture.

Then comes the collapse.

Like sand, it drifts away with the wind.

The spatial confinement binding the dragon's body was released, and dragon blood poured down like a waterfall.

And the falling dragon blood, just like the dragon's body, turned into red sand as it fell.

The red and black sands mingled together, resembling a giant, vibrant red rose blooming in the sky. Vast energy spread across the city, forming a crimson ribbon—a truly magnificent sight.

That magnificent, perfect, and virtually invincible dragon...

They were slaughtered like this!
Outside the abandoned subway station, although it was a scene of devastation and most people were injured, everyone looked up at the sky with amazement in their eyes.

People watching this scene were both amazed by Jiangchuan's formidable strength and somewhat gratified.

Even though they clearly know in their hearts what they should do and how to maximize their profits...

However, Jiang Chuan's actions at this moment truly relieved them.

Not everything should be done based on the amount of profit.

Song Chen certainly knew that Jiang Chuan had many secrets, but who doesn't have secrets? Even as the head of the field team, he couldn't claim to have all his secrets recorded. He wasn't particularly curious about Jiang Chuan to begin with, and since Li Yu had decided not to let Jiang Chuan's secrets be revealed, he naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.

At this moment, Song Chen could hardly suppress the surging curiosity deep within his heart.

The question was churning in his mind: "Jiang Chuan, who... exactly are you?"

It's not just Song Chen.

Xia Xiangyang, lying face up in the ruins, witnessed the entire event.

He muttered to himself, "It seems the spot for A-level... isn't yours either, Li Yu."

On the other side, Lu Bin had mixed feelings.

Jiang Chuan actually possesses such strength?

Was Liu Hong and the others killed by Jiang Chuan? Cao Zhigang was in a very bad situation at the time, so it really was Jiang Chuan.

But why is his performance in the lab so far from what it seems?

……

The bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, landing on the ground beside Song Chen.

Upon seeing him, Song Chen immediately greeted him, "Mr. Zhou."

The man nodded slightly. Although he had said he would spare the black dragon's life, the dragon was now dead, and he seemed to show no emotion.

Song Chen immediately noticed that Mr. Zhou was also carrying a rather burly and large body.

The sight of Mr. Zhou, with his standard build, carrying her with one hand looked rather odd.

In Mr. Zhou's other hand, he tightly gripped a red bead, which was surrounded by a red light and contained extremely terrifying energy.

Looking at the red bead, Song Chen subconsciously asked, "What is this?"

Mr. Zhou said, "I'll explain that later."

"I have to deal with this now."

Then, he gently placed Cao Zhigang on the ground and said:
"He's fine."

"He needs to recuperate."

"I have lifted the barrier. Send people to bring back the children who are still alive as soon as possible."

"Don't kill Lu Bin yet."

He spoke rapidly, and after saying all that, he immediately vanished in a flash of lightning.

Cao Zhigang lay on the ground, trying to move his neck to look around. He saw Ai Zhe and Liang Cheng, he saw Zhong Huahua, and he saw the ruins everywhere.

Although he was still in a daze, he felt completely bewildered.

Didn't this kid tell me to keep it a secret?
How could he...

Should I tell him or not?

and……

Cao Zhigang looked up at the sky and wondered why Jiang Chuan hadn't come down yet.
