Chapter 2103 Odd

Ryu observed the battle in silence for a long while.

'Odd...'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ryu's gaze became entirely focused on Chaotic Space after a while. He gazed toward the man, feeling that there was something that was a bit off.

According to his assumptions, Chaotic Space should have Chaotic Silk Meridians. But Ryu couldn't sense such a thing.

To be fair, this was the first time Ryu was actually seeing the man in person. But by extension, it was even weirder that Chaotic Space would be willing to hand out these Meridians to his disciples, but have nothing to do with them himself.

I'm also fairly certain that he said he had these Meridians himself. So why would he bother to lie about such a thing?"

Ryu's gaze shifted away from Chaotic Space and landed on Black Worm.

If anything, the man truly lived up to his name. His abilities were concentrated in his body, and his recovery abilities were frightening considering its ratio to his power. Of course, nothing would be able to match up to Ryu who literally had Embryonic Qi in his body. But the fact that Black Worm's recovery abilities could intrigue him spoke for itself.

However, that was all.

Whether it was Black Worm or Chaotic Space, neither was really worth Ryu's time. From what Ryu could tell, Chaotic Space was trying to create a Dao that could replace the function of Chaotic Silk Meridians. Maybe the reason he had never fused was because he was looking for a way to trigger his own, not much unlike how Ryu had triggered the blessing of so many Meridians.

It was an interesting path, but after not grasping it for so long, he probably never would. Ryu could guess that Chaotic Space was probably hoping that his breakthrough into Dao Godhood would be what he needed to leap over that final hurdle. But Ryu knew that it wouldn't be enough.

The man's comprehension wasn't nearly deep enough for any of that.

And honestly speaking, even if Chaotic Space was able to do it...

So what?

When they first met, Ryu rejected this man's Inheritance because he couldn't be bothered to care about him. His own pride had always been more important than this man's existence.

And now, Ryu couldn't be bothered to look him in the eye as he died.

Without so much as another glance, Ryu turned toward Black Worm, pulling his bowstring back.

If he could share his qi with his Corpse Puppets... why would he care about one that focused on recovery and being an unkillable cockroach? It was entirely worthless to

him.

In that case...

Black Worm could die too.

A silent arrow streaked through the skies once more and Black Worm froze much like Chaotic Space had.

The two men stood in the skies for a brief moment, not even reacting as the Aspirant before them hacked them to pieces.

There was a moment of shock below as these two oligarchs of a generation fell from the skies in bits of flesh, bone, and blood.

Even when their deaths echoed through the thumps on the ground, no one seemed to know how to react.

Ryu loosened up his shoulders and limbs, putting his grandfather's bow away as he stared up to the skies as though the Aspirants weren't now charging toward him.

Down below, Aika's eyes brimmed with tears. Never did she think that... the man that had haunted her nightmares for so very long would die just like that.

She had thought that with time, she could eventually be the one to claim victory, to finally get revenge for all her dead family and friends. But seeing things end like this, a bitter sweetness seemed to want to erupt from the depths of her throat.

RUMBLE.
