Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 168 Captured

"That's the crux of the matter. The reason Xing Tian became the God of War is because he never bowed down to his enemies, nor did he ever compromise with himself!"

"As long as you hold on to your beliefs, you will definitely get out of here! Please keep going, your friends are waiting for you! Keep going!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Xingtian Armor gradually blurred and eventually disappeared completely into the air.

Lin Yue stared blankly in the direction where Xing Tian had disappeared, her heart filled with a mixture of emotions, a blend of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty.

She slowly clenched her fist, feeling the power coming from her palm. Then, she struggled to her feet, her previously somewhat confused eyes now shining with determination. "I can't give up so easily. My companions are still waiting for me."

Thinking of this, Lin Yue took a deep breath, regulated her breathing, and walked towards the faint light again. However, at that moment, those who had tried to interfere with her reappeared like ghosts.

Faced with their insults and mockery, Lin Yue showed no sign of backing down. Instead, she gritted her teeth, choosing to completely ignore their presence and single-mindedly move forward…

...

"How was it? This little girl didn't disappoint you, did she?"

"He's incredibly powerful; his talent surpasses even the most skilled summoners I know in Minecraft!"

"Good, good, good, it seems you have a high opinion of her! Actually, I wasn't satisfied with this child at first, but she's a nice girl, and since she was brought in by someone else, I'm going to train her well."

"Sorry, I was initially hostile towards you, but having met such a powerful summoner, I have no regrets. Should I send you back now?"

"Are you really going back? It's fine here. What will happen to you if you go back..."

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. You showed me my ending, and I'm glad I completed my mission back then. But if I don't go back, it will be my eternal regret!"

"All right…"

……

Chi Xiaoyu has been very troubled lately.

She hadn't seen Lin Yue since she came to school on Monday, and only after asking the teacher did she learn that Lin Yue's parents had asked the school for leave.

She went to Lin Yue's house to look for her, but no one was home.

"Sigh~ Yueyue, where did you go... I miss you so much..." Chi Xiaoyu looked at the teacher on the podium who was talking non-stop, but she couldn't listen to a word of it.

After school, Chi Xiaoyu returned home in a daze.

When Chi Xiaoyu gently pushed open the door, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere rushed out. She looked closely and saw a figure sitting on the living room sofa. The figure had its back to the door, yet exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

As the footsteps drew closer, the figure gradually became clearer—it was a man! The man, dressed in a finely tailored black suit, sat ramrod straight, like an unshakeable sculpture. However, what was most striking were his eyes, as bright as stars beneath his sword-like eyebrows, but now those eyes shone with an almost manic light and a suffocatingly intense ferocity.

The instant Chi Xiaoyu saw the man's face clearly, she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen, unable to flow. Fear surged into her heart like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming her.

"We meet again! You think... you two sisters can escape?" The man slowly turned his head, a sinister smile playing on his lips. His voice was deep and hoarse, like that of a demon from the depths of hell.

Chi Xiaoyu's body trembled involuntarily. Her eyes widened as she glared at the man before her and roared hoarsely, "How did you get here... Where's my sister? Where did you take her!" Her voice became shrill with anger and terror.

The man seemed completely unconcerned by Chi Xiaoyu's questioning. He casually picked up the nail clippers from the coffee table and began to trim his nails nonchalantly. "Your sister and brother-in-law haven't seen each other in so long, of course I have to do them a favor and let them have a proper get-together!" the man said lightly, his tone full of mockery and sarcasm.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Chi Xiaoyu was struck dumb, completely stunned. She simply couldn't believe what she was hearing; that man actually...

Anger, despair, helplessness... a complex mix of emotions flared up in Chi Xiaoyu's heart like a raging fire. "I'll kill you!!!" Unable to contain her rage any longer, she grabbed a chair and hurled it at the man with all her might!

"Bah!"

The incredibly heavy chair slammed down on the man's head with a muffled thud. In an instant, bright red blood gushed from the wound, splattering everywhere. The scene was horrifying and unbearable to look at.

Almost simultaneously, several figures rushed into the room with lightning speed. They were well-trained and swift, reaching Chi Xiaoyu's side in the blink of an eye and then ruthlessly pinning her to the ground.

"Let me go! You heartless beasts! You've already hurt my sister so badly, isn't that enough? Let me go!" Chi Xiaoyu roared hoarsely, her eyes burning with rage, struggling desperately to break free of her restraints, but the strength of those burly men was too great, and her resistance seemed so insignificant.

At this moment, the man who had been hit by the chair slowly stood up. Blood was gushing from his head, and crimson liquid was constantly flowing down his cheeks, but he seemed completely oblivious to the pain, smiling as he stared at Chi Xiaoyu.

"Slap!" The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed throughout the room, and five clearly visible red handprints immediately appeared on Chi Xiaoyu's fair face.

“You and your sister are practically identical! Hmph, but well… who told her to betray me… what a disobedient child…” The man said, gently pinching Chi Xiaoyu’s delicate chin, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You think you can escape? Without you, how am I supposed to blackmail her? Hahahaha..." The man laughed wildly, his laughter echoing in the air, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Take the person away!"

...

As Chi Shuyao slowly awoke, a wave of intense fear washed over her as her consciousness returned to her brain. She abruptly opened her eyes, her pupils dilating sharply in shock.

This was an extremely luxurious room, with exquisite decorations, expensive furniture, and dazzling lights all showcasing the owner's wealth and power. However, this familiar scene was like a terrible nightmare for Chi Shuyao.

She remembered this place… Her body trembled uncontrollably, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment. Terrified, she struggled desperately to get off the soft, comfortable yet now chilling bed, her instincts telling her: I have to leave! I have to find my sister, Xiaoyu!

In her panic, Chi Shuyao completely ignored the man standing quietly beside her. He was tall and imposing, with a cold and stern face, and a pair of deep eyes that gleamed with a chilling light like cold stars. Just as Chi Shuyao got up to rush out the door, a strong hand suddenly reached out without warning, grabbed her slender neck tightly, and lifted her off the ground.

The man gritted his teeth and roared, "I've been looking for you for so long, you shameless slut! You still owe me a debt you haven't paid off, and you dare to try and escape? Do you think you can get away?" With each word he uttered, the strength in his grip increased. Chi Shuyao felt it becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, and her vision began to blur. Her survival instinct made her desperately wave her hands, trying to break free from the man's grasp, but it was all in vain.

Gu Chenfeng gripped Chi Shuyao's slender, delicate neck tightly, as if he were about to crush it completely in the next second. Chi Shuyao felt a sharp pain surge through her, as if she were being clamped by iron pincers and unable to break free. The pain caused her to involuntarily gasp. Her already reddened eyes became even more crimson with extreme pain and fear, and tears welled up in her eyes.

(I don't know what happened, but my lower back suddenly started hurting. I've been to the hospital with my parents these past few days.)

The pain is so bad I can't even stand up; I can only lie in bed and can't even walk. Now it depends on how well I recover. If I recover well in three days, that would be great; if not, I'll have to get an MRI.

I'm lying in bed right now, only able to lie flat on my back, sob sob. I want to get better quickly, this back pain is so awful.
