Chapter 461: Chu He vs. Moria

Looking at the silver-haired man walking out from the shadows, there wasn't a trace of panic in Chu He's eyes.

The smile on his face grew even more brilliant.

"Thank you for letting me join Eternal Night. I wonder if you have any instructions for me by calling me here alone?"

Controlling Moria, Zhou Huai spoke with a hint of playfulness in his voice.

"We've reached this point, and you're still acting."

"Is your sense of conviction really that strong?"

He took two steps forward, and the sense of oppression stemming from the SS-Rank Expert made the air in the room turn thick and viscous.

"Others might not know you, but I certainly do."

"You are from the Dawnbreaker Guild."

"How come you want to join our Eternal Night now?"

"Could it be that you want to poach people from our Eternal Night?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jasmine, who was standing to the side, was slightly startled.

The Dawnbreaker Guild?

That lunatic organization that acted unscrupulously and didn't even care about the military department?

She was only acting according to her master's instructions, not expecting that Chu He was also involved with the Dawnbreaker Guild.

The muscles on Chu He's face twitched a few times, seemingly trying hard to control his expression.

In the end, that smiling face collapsed, revealing a sorrow bordering on grief.

His shoulders slumped down, and his entire person seemed to have had his vital energy and spirit drained away.

"I was… discovered after all."

"Infiltrating is truly so difficult."

"But why?"

"I don't understand, I was clearly hiding so well."

"How on earth did I get exposed?"

Watching his dejected appearance, Zhou Huai was almost laughing out loud in his heart.

You didn't even bother to disguise yourself and swaggered over under your real name.

And you call that hiding very well?

In fact, although the Dawnbreaker Guild was renowned, the information about its members had always been a mystery.

This organization acted ruthlessly, and any eyewitnesses who had seen their true faces were either dead or captured.

Therefore, the outside world knew very little about their core members.

This was also the reason why Chu He dared to appear here so openly.

He was certain that no one knew him.

Unfortunately, he met Zhou Huai.

Zhou Huai had no interest in arguing with him about these minor details.

People from the Dawnbreaker Guild coming to his door couldn't possibly be here to celebrate a birthday.

It was definitely nothing good.

"Jasmine, hide further away."

Jasmine instantly understood. With a flash of her figure, she silently melted into the shadows in the corner of the room, leaving the arena entirely to the two of them.

The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

The sorrow on Chu He's face also vanished.

He straightened up and licked his lips. In those peach-blossom eyes of his, a dangerous yet excited light flickered.

"It seems we can't talk this out."

Before his voice faded,

he moved!

Without the slightest warning, Chu He's body burst apart on the spot with a "bang!"

It transformed into a surging torrent of water, sweeping towards Moria!

Within the torrent of water, dozens of sharp water blades condensed, emitting a sharp piercing sound as they slashed in from all directions!

Facing this sudden attack, Moria didn't even lift an eyelid.

The moment the water current reached him, his figure transformed into a mass of pure darkness and melted into the ground.

All the water blades passed right through that shadow, fiercely slashing into the metal wall behind.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of ear-piercing metallic clashing sounds rang out. Sparks flew everywhere on the wall, leaving behind deep slash marks.

The torrent of water re-gathered in the center of the room, condensing into Chu He's figure.

He glanced around, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Where is he?"

The next second,

a cold hand reached out without warning from the shadow beneath his feet, tightly grabbing his ankle!

Chu He's heart skipped a beat, and he looked down.

He saw Moria's upper body crawling out from that tiny shadow like an evil ghost climbing out of the abyss.

A hint of a mocking smile hung on his face.

"Right here."

"Shadow Demon Claw!"

A chilly, domineering power surged frantically into Chu He's body along his ankle, attempting to tear apart his Soul!

"Hmph!"

Chu He let out a cold hmph, and his grabbed right leg suddenly transformed into a high-pressure stream of water, instantly breaking free from the restraint.

At the same time, his entire body rapidly retreated backwards to put some distance between them.

But Moria's speed was even faster than his.

The moment he broke free, Moria's entire body had completely emerged from the shadow.

The tips of his toes tapped lightly on the ground, and his figure closed in instantly like a ghost.

"Too slow."

A cold voice rang in Chu He's ear.

Moria's five fingers clenched together into a claw, his fingertips wreathed in thick black Qi, aiming straight for Chu He's heart!

Chu He's pupils abruptly shrank.

This claw was too fast; it was already too late for him to fully elementalize!

At the critical moment of a hair's breadth, he could only transform part of his body in front of his chest into water.

"Pfft!"

Moria's claw passed through his liquefied chest without any obstruction.

There was no blood.

But that chilly Devilish Qi still followed the wound, invading his limbs and bones.

Chu He groaned, and taking advantage of the force of this blow, his body transformed into a water arrow, shooting backwards and slamming heavily into the wall.

Leaning against the wall, the large transparent hole right through his chest was slowly healing.

Chu He looked at Moria not far away with a solemn expression.

Such a strong sense of oppression.

This guy is definitely SS-Rank.

He stared fixedly at the silver-haired man in the distance, his brows tightly locked as if recalling something.

This chilly, domineering aura that seemed capable of freezing the Soul…

It's too familiar.

Where had he felt it before?

Innumerable scenes flashed rapidly across Chu He's mind.

"I remember now!"

"It's you!"

"That day in the military prison, it was you who stopped me from taking away Gandalf!"

Speaking of this, the smile on Chu He's face couldn't be contained anymore, blooming with a brilliance that was somewhat distorted.

"As expected! That woman was right!"

"Gandalf has a connection with your Eternal Night Guild!"

Controlling Moria, Zhou Huai's expression remained unchanged.

He watched Chu He's ecstatic appearance of having dug up a heaven-shaking secret, looking at him like a clown performing on a stage.

"Knowing this now is a bit too late."

"Today, you'll be meeting your end right here."

Chu He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He loosened his wrists, his joints making crisp popping sounds.

"Alright."

"I also really want to experience the strength of an SS-Rank Expert."

As soon as his voice fell,

the air humidity in the entire room suddenly skyrocketed.

Countless fine water droplets condensed out of thin air, suspended behind Chu He.

Every single water droplet refracted the pale light from overhead, flashing with a chilling cold gleam.

"Myriad Water Bullets!"

Chu He let out a low shout and waved his arm forward.

Those tens of thousands of water droplets instantly transformed into the densest barrage of bullets, emitting a sharp piercing sound as they roared overwhelmingly towards Moria!

The attack range covered the entire room without any dead angles.

Every single water bullet contained terrifying power sufficient to pierce through steel plates.

Facing this storm-like attack, Moria, controlled by Zhou Huai, didn't even have a trace of ripples on his face.

He simply stood in place, watching quietly.

Just at the moment when the first water bullet was about to touch the corner of his clothes,

Moria's figure, like a drop of ink dropped into water, silently dispersed and melted into that tiny shadow beneath his feet.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom——!"

Countless water bullets lost their target, fiercely bombarding the metal wall behind Moria.

A series of deafening loud noises echoed crazily inside the sealed room.

The hard alloy walls were blasted with deep craters one after another, and sparks flew everywhere.

The entire room was violently trembling.

Chu He's brows were tightly locked as he vigilantly glanced around.

"Where is he?"

He could feel that the other party's aura had completely vanished.

Just as if they had never appeared at all.

That's not right!

Alarm bells blared wildly in Chu He's heart, and he spun around abruptly!

A figure had appeared behind him at some unknown time.

It was Moria.

He seemed to have crawled right out of Chu He's own shadow, silent and as fast as a ghost.

"Too slow."
