Chapter 139: Chapter 127: Fighting Together

Thunder exploded above the river.

The figures collided and scattered instantly.

Almost no one saw what had exactly happened... It was as if thunder had erupted overhead, burning gasoline roared like a bomb, scattered flames disappeared like fireworks in an instant, intense light cascaded everywhere, phosphorescent light flashed, illuminating the great river as bright as day.

Only Gu Shen knew what had just occurred.

Because only he had truly felt that moment, the intense impact from behind that was so close... Chen Mei’s whipping leg kick was aimed right at him!

This was a force that he himself could not possibly endure at the moment.

Gu Shen’s scalp tingled, and he could only try his best to press his body against the back of the car, trying to minimize the impact’s lethality, while using this fierce thrust to accelerate his fall into the great river.

"Splash!"

The fierce oil fire fell scattered.

The light was fleeting.

Song Ci and Chen Mei exchanged a leg kick, each retreating simultaneously, landing a hundred meters apart on the great river.

Crow stood carefree and relaxed, hands still behind his back, though his leg muscles trembled slightly.

The curly-haired young man, Chen Mei, seemed unremarkable due to his thick clothing... but actually, his breathing was somewhat disordered.

The group led by Qi Lv immediately came to stand behind Chen Mei, discarding their previous scheme.

Crow was indeed very strong.

But now... the strongest forces on their side had arrived at the river bank.

This battle was still to be fought.

"Are you alright?"

Crow glanced behind him slightly, in the river was a rather disheveled figure, stabilizing himself with support on a thin layer of ice.

"Walking on water just three inches deep..."

Gu Shen propped himself on the thin ice, looking up at Song Ci walking on the river, he softly remarked, "I thought such things were mere talk... How is it done?"

"It’s nothing special, Transcendents with ’domains’ can achieve this," Crow spoke indifferently: "How about you, are you hurt?"

Gu Shen smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Nothing serious... just feeling a bit stifled."

The previous strike was like a bomb exploding from his back.

This impact feeling compared with the previous time on Lipu Street, when Changjiu Foundation believers detonated a large amount of trinitrotoluene, was beyond comparison.

The people on the river gradually split into two opposing groups.

The Transcendents brought by Qi Lv reorganized their ranks, seemingly with newfound confidence.

Crow’s gaze was fixed on Chen Mei at the forefront, his face slowly revealed a hint of a smile.

"Chen Mei’s expression is truly awful... To make him so angry chasing here, you must have succeeded," Song Ci sincerely exclaimed: "It’s truly unbelievable, you, a Transcendent without a ’domain’, could escape so far from him? Mr. Xiao Cui and his wife weren’t wrong about you, you truly are a rare genius."

Gu Shen had always been indifferent to such praise, and he calmly gave the serene Crow his middle finger.

The operation to stealthily infiltrate the South Bay Building tonight was extremely perilous, but... it was already over.

"You guessed right. There was a closed-circuit master server in the South Bay Building, I took the data from the server, they probably don’t yet know about this..." Gu Shen said softly: "Chen Mei pursued me because when I breached the South Bay Building, it triggered an alarm. This guy has a keen sense, he doggedly followed from the broken clues."

"There were no clues, so you caught up to me because you requested Deep Sea’s intervention, huh..."

Crow eyed Gu Shen meaningfully.

He was well aware that infiltrating the South Bay Building was a highly difficult task, but for some reason, when it came to Gu Shen taking it on, a kind of inexplicable trust emerged in his heart, a sense of certainty.

Right from the start, he felt that no matter how difficult it was, Gu Shen could accomplish the task.

Crow’s intuition was precise.

"Actually, my mentioning that the South Bay Building had a closed-circuit host was just a casual comment... It’s an unconfirmed and unconfirmable conjecture, although I don’t know how you managed to do it." Showing no previous grudges, Song Ci gave a thumbs-up to Gu Shen, who was lying on the ice, "I just want to say two words: awesome."

"What are you planning to do about this mess?"

Gu Shen remained lying on the ice block, his face steamed up by Truth Ruler since he crashed through the railing, and to this point, no one had seen his true face.

He was somewhat wary of the curly-haired young man in the distance, who looked less like a pampered senator’s son and more like a mad dog that would attack anyone.

"Just run. I’ll hold them off here," Crow said softly, "I’ve wanted to confront Chen Mei for a long time, and now I finally have the chance to try... Thanks to you."

"And those guys?" Gu Shen squinted, shifting his gaze to the group around Qi Lv.

"Them? Mere chickens and dogs."

Song Ci sneered dismissively.

After expressing his disdain, Crow still seriously cautioned Gu Shen, "Of course, chickens and dogs are in relation to me. You need to be careful when you run. That guy Qi Lv has a Purple Silver Bullet, and if you get hit... you might die."

"You leave the river bank, then find either the lady or Mr. Xiao Cui, anyone will do. Since the data from the closed-circuit host was taken out, pulling out the introducer’s information by Shi Li means that tonight’s war has been won."

"Don’t think the river bank is calm now, but in fact, there are many eyes watching this place."

"Tonight... they can’t sleep," Song Ci said calmly, "Soon, more and more people will rush over. The more people, the more complicated the situation will become... At that point, assigning blame will also become a very complex matter."

Crow had promised the lady he wouldn’t provoke any trouble.

And indeed, he had kept his word.

His action in the Huazhi Underground was because the other party had indeed broken the rules, and at the river bank meeting, Crow had also honored the "people arrive, people go" promise. If anyone were to truly investigate the conflict, it was actually Chen San’s side that had fired the first shot and caused the trouble.

"So... just do as I told you," he said softly, slowly turning his body to face Gu Shen.

"Run."

Gu Shen looked up.

He noticed that Crow’s expression was relaxed, as if everything was under control.

But... was that really the case?

Song Ci’s palms shook slightly, not much, but Gu Shen noticed.

This guy was nervous...

The disputes tonight could be traced back to not long ago when Chen Jingtan was injured by him, and if the turmoil erupted as Song Ci predicted, growing bigger and bigger, would Chen San be able to control the situation when he arrived?

"Run..."

Gu Shen muttered softly to himself.

He gathered his myriad thoughts.

Then, he shook his head, "I won’t run. I will stay here and fight alongside you."
