Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 764: Chapter 762: The Curse of Fracture (Part 21)_1 Chapter 764: Chapter 762: The Curse of Fracture (Part 21)_1 As the mysterious guest, Fu Qian’s every move undoubtedly captured the attention of everyone present.

For a moment, all eyes followed his gaze, then simultaneously froze.

Including the person in question.

“Me?”

Becoming the center of attention in an instant, Kamakura Si found it hard to speak, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse.

“If I can be of help, I would certainly be willing, but I might not be strong enough…”

His words were not false modesty; although he was the head of his family, his strength simply did not stand out compared with the people from the Academy.

The results of several people from the Swordsmanship Department who had taken action just now were clear to all.

Of course, what caused Kamakura Si the greatest psychological pressure was the person who now dared not take any action.

“Are you joking?”

Ni Huayuan had thought Fu Qian really had some insightful suggestions, but to his surprise, the plan seemed entirely unrealistic.

“You want him to tackle an opponent that even two demigods couldn’t handle? Isn’t that a bit too optimistic?”

Although essentially speaking on behalf of Kamakura Si, it was clear that this person had not considered preserving the Kamakura Family’s face.

Of course, he truly did not need to consider it.

“Why not?”

Fu Qian snorted coldly, his tone resolute.

“The Kamakura Family has been a family of Tomb Guardians for generations; doesn’t this thing appearing in the ruins fall exactly within their area of expertise?”

…

When put this way, it seemed there really was no issue.

Fu Qian’s angle of interpretation left everyone momentarily unable to refute.

“If you have a solution, please speak up. If you continue spouting nonsense, we will have no time to entertain you.”

So Ni Huayuan’s reaction was to not refute.

Several seconds later, he took a deep breath and declared in an ultimatum-like tone.

“I think, Mr. Yun has made some valid points.”

Unexpectedly, Cass appeared contemplative the next moment and clearly expressed support for Fu Qian.

…

Now, not only Ni Huayuan but everyone was taken aback.

“The Kamakura Family head could give it a try, of course, while ensuring his own safety as much as possible.”

But Cass did not seem inclined to explain further, addressing the person concerned directly instead.

Wasn’t this sheer nonsense?

The fate of Kamakura Guizhi was right there; how could one ensure their own safety after taking action?

Such an unreliable demigod from the Academy!

Kamakura Si felt bitter, instinctively looking at Ni Huayuan with eyes pleading for help.

“Let’s start quickly; we don’t have much time.”

However, before Ni Huayuan could say anything further, Cass had already commandeered his lines, his tone brooking no doubt.

Regardless, he was still the leader of the investigation team, and no matter how active Ni Huayuan had been before, confronted with such a serious tone, he suddenly dared not counter firmly anymore.

…

With the last glimmer of hope extinguished, Kamakura Si’s face visibly darkened.

But the matter had come to this, and he knew he no longer had any other choice.

The next moment he lifted his sword, not even attempting to command other members of the Kamakura Family to take his place.

Cass had made it very clear earlier that the head of the Kamakura Family should give it a try.

…

However, being a family that claims to have inherited the Sword Dao for hundreds of years, even if Kamakura Si felt the future was bleak, he still managed to gather his mind within the few short steps he took and his momentum became sharp and fierce.

Witnessing this scene reminiscent of howling winds and chilling waters, neither the people from the Academy nor the members of the Kamakura Family said anything more.

Without delaying any further, the group silently followed Kamakura Si, passing through the stone gate at the end of the corridor once again.

…

The scene beyond the gate had somehow changed once more.

There had obviously been conflict when Cass was covering the rear, inevitably causing even greater disturbance.

At this moment, although the Crystal Long Spears from earlier had completely vanished, they had been replaced by a multitude of bizarrely shaped entities filling the pool.

These included but were not limited to various strange limbs, vortices, spheres, and spikes.
