Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 365: An Extraordinary Battle

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: An Extraordinary Battle

What was called a battle, the two maintained a considerable distance, as He Pu wielded his baton, each swing could release the sound of a musical instrument. The high and low, thick and thin sounds of the instruments became different shockwaves, causing hallucinations while dealing direct damage.

Those not caught in the direct line of the hallucinations, like You Qiwen and the others, heard the sounds and saw irregular rainbow lights floating in the air, emitting a faint glow that could make a person dizzy.

"Don’t listen to the sound!" Wei Landeng handed You Qiwen a pair of earphones, and after the two blocked their hearing, the scene in front of them changed—those dazzling lights disappeared, and as the baton moved, wave after wave of dense shockwaves began to relentlessly attack Xu Huo!

While Xu Huo defended himself with his sword, he would occasionally try to strike back with an unfocused cut, but it couldn’t reach He Pu before being canceled out by the sound waves.

The moment Liu Zhengping was freed from the illusion, he used a Return Ticket to escape the game; that left the Chen Brothers and Yu Shuai. Seeing Yu Shuai didn’t leave, they gave him earplugs, "These can’t block out the sound completely, but they’re somewhat useful."

They, along with You Qiwen and Wei Landeng, didn’t plan to leave. Like Xu Huo had said, they had come this far—how could they not try to reap some benefits?

You Qiwen and Wei Landeng exchanged glances; the former circled to He Pu’s rear, while Wei Landeng summoned several protective gears to cover her vital areas and plunged into the radius of music created by He Pu. She rammed through several shockwaves, launching herself at He Pu as if seeking mutual destruction.

Whether He Pu wasn’t skilled in close combat or was being cautious, he retreated quickly. With a swing of his baton, he sent Wei Landeng flying, and with a strike on the tuning fork, he pushed away Xu Huo who was seizing the opportunity to attack, then turned to head upstairs.

But as he reached the stairway, he suddenly hesitated; his foot was already stepping up before he withdrew it. He looked coldly at Mr. Dong in the corner, "You don’t want He Pu’s corpse anymore?"

Mr. Dong still exhibited a countenance devoid of joy or sorrow. He calmly said, "Someone is coming."

He Pu’s expression changed, and then he glared fiercely at Xu Huo, "You actually brought people here!"

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow; he couldn’t sense anything at the moment. If Mr. Dong wasn’t lying, then it meant someone was indeed coming, possibly from the Game Government or the local forces of Zone 011, but no matter who it was, He Pu’s masquerade game was about to end.

"Aren’t you running?" He mockingly challenged the fake He Pu in front of him, "Someone like you who doesn’t dare to leave the castle for years, only daring to kill Level D Players, do you think you could stand a chance against the people coming from outside? Isn’t it better for you to flee while you can?"

He Pu, at this point, was different from the fury exposed when his identity was revealed earlier; it wasn’t out of the indignity of being toyed with by an inferior Level D Player leading to a killing spree to vent his anger, but a genuine intention to kill Xu Huo.

"I’m going to twist your head off!" Having said that, he floated like a shadow in front of Xu Huo and stabbed straight through Xu Huo’s breastbone with a tuning fork!

Xu Huo had no room to dodge, but instinctively twisted his body slightly and wasn’t struck in the heart. As the tuning fork shattered his bones, He Pu pulled back instantly, for the Substitute Mirror had come into effect. As the fork retreated, the wound on Xu Huo’s body instantly healed, but blood seeped from the chest of He Pu’s suit.

Xu Huo took the opportunity to grab onto a Non-Knotting Thread and flew upwards, clearing space for Wei Landeng who then lunged forward with a bear hug!

"Chu River Han Border!" Chen Tu created a barrier behind He Pu first, and at the same time, Yu Shuai made a throwing motion with his hand as if he had hurled something invisible. It wasn’t clear what it was, but when He Pu tried to strike the tuning fork, his right hand was held by an unseen force—blocked from the rear, faced with Wei Landeng in the front, constrained by Yu Shuai on one arm, and faced with the overhead slash, He Pu was successfully trapped!

However, this was only on the surface. Although He Pu’s right hand was temporarily immobilized, he still had the tuning fork in his left. He stretched it above his head, and as it was struck, it emitted an unprecedentedly piercing sound. An illusory light orb bounced off him, and the Chen Brothers, Yu Shuai, and everyone else were shaken away. Clutching onto He Pu’s waist, Wei Landeng flew horizontally like a kite, their abilities collapsing, including the Substitute Mirror deliberately placed at a distance, which was also shattered!

Located directly above the tuning fork, Xu Huo was struck head-on, receiving the greatest recoil. He embedded into the second-floor flooring, coughing up blood first. He steadied his body to prevent falling and threw the Non-Knotting Thread to wrap around the still-vibrating tuning fork. In the instant He Pu looked up, their eyes locked.

His super evolution only allowed him to exert his psychic power and affect others in specific environments. In battle, apart from exerting mental pressure on the opponent, it had no significant effects. But He Pu himself was proficient in using illusions—what others couldn’t see, he might be able to!

"Come in!" His gaze intensified, and he successfully pulled He Pu into his spiritual world!

The connection of spirits was momentary. He Pu only saw a white spiral staircase continually descending and then quickly regained consciousness. His eyes widened in rage, and as he attempted to step forward, he encountered resistance. Looking down, he realized that Wei Landeng, who was still desperately holding onto him with blood flowing from her ears and nose, hadn’t let go. In her hand, she lifted a black metal handle: "The courage to perish together!"

"Shh!" A thin stream of electricity flowed over the metal handle, instantly racing toward He Pu’s back, away from the tea house position. You Qiwen stood in front of a lamp, one hand holding a severed wire, the other a matching metal handle!

"Boom!" The thin stream of electricity twisted into a pillar, reversing direction from You Qiwen towards Wei Landeng!

With the sudden flash of lightning, those surrounding them barely caught a glimpse of He Pu kicking Wei Landeng away before their vision was engulfed by the blinding light created by the electrical current!

The electrical pillar seemed massive, but its radiation range was only two to three meters, linking You Qiwen, He Pu, and Wei Landeng together.

The intense light lasted for about half a minute before dying out. Above the scorched ground, three people stood, two upright and one lying down. Lying motionless on the ground, Wei Landeng showed no signs of life. In front of her, He Pu, with skin cracking from the electricity, twitched, and the artificial skin on his face turned into flying ash, revealing patches of uneven clean skin.

The next second, he appeared in front of You Qiwen, the tuning fork thrusting toward his throat!

You Qiwen’s face turned pale with shock, instinctively retreating. At that moment, the wall turned to mud and contoured into the shape of a person. The extending mud grabbed his head and limbs, pulling him into the wall!

The tuning fork stabbed into the hard bricks. You Qiwen, already moving sideways along the wall ensconced in mud, broke free from the wall under the vibrations of the tuning fork’s sound waves!

The person who had intervened to save him was Yu Shuai, but the tuning fork was too powerful; it only bought a moment’s time, and now You Qiwen was kneeling, gasping for air two meters from He Pu.

Xu Huo controlled flying arrows to strike, but with a wave of his baton, He Pu knocked the arrows into the wall. He was in no rush to kill You Qiwen; instead, he took out a circular disc the size of a human head, with rings of strings on it. Casually tossing it onto the ground, the object seamlessly merged with the floor. As the wave circles spread, everything on the floor began to shift towards the center, and He Pu himself also moved toward the central black hole that led to who knew where!

Xu Huo could tell he was trying to escape, but it seemed He Pu intended to take everyone with him. Controlling the harp strings to resist the pulling force, he took out the Open Air Window System.

Just as he was preparing to escape, the castle suddenly dimmed.
