"Holy shit... what kind of person is this... or rather... as expected of someone raised on the Xianzhou..."
Jetok looked at the devastation in front of him and gasped for breath.
After just a few jumping slashes, this place had been completely destroyed.
The fact that he was not chopped to death yet was practically a miracle.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated Jetok became.
He could not help but curse in his heart, "Damn Jing Yuan, what do you mean once he's registered with the Divination Commission he's a citizen of your Xianzhou? Damn it, be flexible for once and just arrest him and send him over. Then why would I have to suffer like this!?"
But in just that brief moment of distraction, Jetok suddenly felt a chill in his body.
When he lowered his head to look, he discovered that he had been cut in half at the waist.
Nero was very sharp. He caught the instant Jetok lost focus, then used Two Sleeves of Pure Wind to immediately appear behind him and swung Black Cut in one stroke.
The boy was extremely decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
However...
Even though he had cut Jetok in half, he still had not escaped from the current environment.
Nero frowned. When he looked at Jetok again, he found two identical figures standing in front of him.
"Heh heh... did you really think that could kill me?" the two Jetoks said the exact same words. "You see, your attack is completely useless. Let's just sit down and..."
Before Jetok could finish speaking, several Wind Swords instantly sliced both of them into pieces.
However, those fragments quickly regenerated right in front of Nero, and each piece turned into a complete Jetok.
Seeing this scene, Nero's eyes widened slightly.
This kind of method was indeed a bit surprising. It felt like watching Journey to the West when he was little.
At this moment, Jetok was also staring at Nero.
After being interrupted twice mid-speech, he had already confirmed one thing, the brat in front of him could not be dealt with using this kind of method at all.
There was no way to deceive him. This little bastard would not even give you a chance to talk.
If he wanted to complete the retrieval, he could only wait and look for a chance to use force.
Jetok stared closely at Nero's movements. Sure enough, even after witnessing his method, the little bastard still had no intention of talking and launched another attack.
Nero raised his hand, pointed his sword forward, and countless Wind Swords condensed, forming the technique of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, blasting toward Jetok like a storm.
Jetok gritted his teeth. Every version of him in front of Nero made the same movement.
This uninvited guest, whose purpose was unknown but clearly did not look like a good person, reached into his black robe and pulled out a broken mirror shard.
The next moment, the shard was struck by the Wind Swords and shattered instantly.
At the same time, the crisp sound of a mirror breaking echoed in Nero's mind, and in the next moment, his consciousness sank into darkness.
[Ding! The host's number of followers has exceeded four hundred thousand!]
[Ding! The host's strength has increased!]
[Ding! The host's body has been enhanced!]
[Ding! Reward: 2000 Stellar Jades.]
[Ding! Reward Skill: Heaven's Fall!]
[Heaven's Fall: Clear and turbid intertwine, yin and yang reverse; heaven and earth overturn, the world flips and the sky collapses.]
The long-lost system voice sounded in his mind, and Nero opened his eyes.
It was the familiar ceiling of the train. He could only see half of it, and then that exquisite whale-bone-like chandelier emitted a soft light.
Nero blinked. His eyes moved as his gaze swept across the observation car.
Pom-Pom was watering flowers. By the way, did it just lose sixteen strands of fur?
Himeko was making coffee. Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang was reading, and on the table was the model of the Engine of Creation and Svarog that he had replicated overnight after returning from Jarilo.
March was drinking a beverage. As for Teacher Dan Heng...?
Did not see him. He was probably staying in the archives.
And then...
Nero's gaze landed on a mirror. In the next moment, his pupils shrank.
'Who is that?'
Someone unfamiliar had boarded the train.
In front of the mirror, Nero saw a strangely dressed woman.
The woman wore a hood and a blue and white coat. Like Clara, she did not wear shoes. Her face was completely covered by a blue crystal-like helmet, making her look like she was wearing some strange astronaut suit.
Nero frowned. After less than a second of brief thought, he found a bit of memory in his still somewhat hazy mind from just "waking up."
'Oh.'
This was a messenger from the Garden of Recollection. Then it was fine.
Nero loosened the sword gesture he had already prepared.
At that moment, a hand rested on Nero's forehead. The touch felt cool.
Then, half a face entered Nero's view. The first thing he saw were twitching fox ears, followed by a pair of fox-like eyes with a smile in them.
Red eyeshadow and emerald green eyes reflected each other, charming but not overly seductive.
Tingyun looked down at Nero's slightly confused expression and smiled. "Awake?"
'Awake?'
Nero frowned, then sat up.
When did he fall asleep?
And what time was it now?
The boy turned his head to look out the window. The merchant ships belonging to the Whistling Flames Merchant Guild were now traveling alongside the train.
Nero then took out his phone and looked at it. He could see a message from Martin. 'That guy had sent a string of numbers...'
Nero silently fiddled with his phone for a moment and found a contact named Topaz.
The last chat record was Topaz saying they would meet at the Herta Space Station...
From the moment he opened his eyes, his mind had been muddled, but now it finally cleared up.
Nero remembered. They were currently on the way to the Herta Space Station.
After returning from having enough fun on Jarilo-VI, they did not wait many days before the Whistling Flames Merchant Guild arrived, and at the same time, Martin also sent a message.
After that, it was decided to carry out detailed discussions about the Fragmentum industry at the Herta Space Station.
Nero narrowed his eyes and thought, "So when exactly did I fall asleep? I have not even been staying up late recently."
Beside him, Tingyun was holding her phone. On the screen was a photo of Nero sleeping with his head resting on her lap.
The chief representative of the Whistling Flames Merchant Guild quietly exited the album, opened a group chat named "Nightless Marquis Returning Customers," and sent the following message,
This young lady is about to go wild, "Photo of little Nero's sleeping face, starting bid fifty thousand credit points."
As soon as Tingyun's message was sent, the group chat immediately became lively.
[Vidyadhara Online: What photo? Let this lady see!]
[Returning Customer No.1: I bid fifty thousand!]
[Invincible Swordsman 123: I want to see what the person Master... I mean, General keeps talking about looks like! Sixty thousand!]
[Returning Customer No.1: Why are you fighting me for it? Seventy thousand!]
[Invincible Swordsman 123: ...]
[Invincible Swordsman 123: It's yours! I need to save my money to buy a flying sword at the Artisanship Commission.]
[Playing Cards with My Life: Eighty thousand!]
[Playing Cards with My Life: I keep hearing Boss Mengming talk about how impressive Nero is. Now that I have the chance, of course I want to see.]
[Cold Divination Machine: Go back to work!]
[Playing Cards with My Life: Huh? Damn! I even hid here and you still caught me, sir!?]
[Mengming: "Ahaha...]
[Real Name Online: Why not give it to me? One hundred thousand credit points.]
[Returning Customer No.1: Damn you! It's yours!]
[Returning Customer No.1: If my wife had not been in a bad mood lately... no matter what, I would have taken that photo.]
[This young lady is about to go wild: Deal.]
[Little Guinevere: Is selling photos really this profitable? I bought new equipment recently and I'm short on money. I might try it too later.]
[Returning Customer No.1: Who are you to try it! Do you even have the ability?]
