My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 190 - 163: Winds and Clouds Surging

No matter whether the Celestial Strategy of each squad wants it or not.

The video spread like a virus.

From members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, to various Empowerer organizations at large, even to people of the 'Self', everyone saw the video.

Hence, the outcome of Yan Kan's rebellion was revealed—beaten to death alive.

... The most brutal way to die.

The video itself represents an extremely strong response.

Moreover, combined with Mount Tai's unprecedented personal action, without even negotiating, directly beating to death Cheng Yibin, who obviously had provocative intentions.

This directly turned the defection incident from a scandal into an opportunity for the Celestial Strategy Mansion to bare its fangs.

Bear in mind Xia Yue was still in Yellow Springs and had not returned.

Previously, the most forceful representative of the Celestial Strategy Mansion was actually him.

This was also why Cheng Yibin dared to provoke.

Just like Ji Xin said... Mount Tai is indeed strong, whether symbolically or in terms of power, but his temperament can sometimes be too mild, making many people not really take him seriously.

When those at the top favor something, their subordinates will favor it even more.

This also causes other high-level members below to sometimes be overly cautious.

Though only Cheng Yibin stepped forward this time, it does not mean others weren't watching; they were also curious about how the Celestial Strategy Mansion, led by Mount Tai in Xia Yue's absence, would react.

If the response was not good, it would actually lead to considerable trouble.

But with Ji Xin's continuous pressure, Mount Tai chose to act, and the situation changed.

An honest person's fury sometimes truly has greater deterrent power.

Especially considering this honest person can virtually counter all Ancient System Authorities.

Of course.

The most crucial element… remains that video.

Yan Kan's strength is not weak, being among the upper-middle strength of all Celestial Strategies. Although he can't compare to Xia Yue, he is considered one of the top fighters.

But even such a person was beaten to death alive without any ability to fight back.

And the person who did it was not Xia Yue.

It was a completely unknown entity…

This is an exceptionally terrifying matter for all empowerers at the same level as Yan Kan.

Even for empowerers at the same level as Mount Tai, it is likewise.

Because they ask themselves... they can't achieve it.

And as for who this person specifically is, what they look like, their name, Authority Ability, nothing is known.

Completely unguessable.

No matter how strong Xia Yue is, he can still be seen and touched, and no matter how strong Mount Tai is, his Authority Ability is public.

But the protagonist in the video remains a complete mystery, both in combat limits and personality.

He is like a ghost, a ghost standing behind everyone.

After watching the video, anyone who still had thoughts of targeting the Celestial Strategy Mansion would think of the scene where Yan Kan was beaten to death alive... and then feel that the ghost is standing behind them.

If he could beat Yan Kan to death alive... could he beat them to death alive too?

Whether you call it fear or apprehension.

In short.

All forces outside of the Celestial Strategy Mansion instantly retracted and became as silent as cicadas in cold weather!

As for the members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, their feelings were even more straightforward.

That is... dumbfounded.

It's not ancient times anymore, even "mysterious superpower organizations," due to the existence of the internet, don't have that many secrets.

The combat structure of each squad of Celestial Strategy and the whole organization is very clear.

Most members actually know who is strong and who is weak, and even the personalities of each Celestial Strategy, are well aware of.

In this respect, there aren't many secrets to speak of.

This understanding, of course, also includes Yan Kan.

So when the video spread.

On the same day, the large group composed of two major departments, the Celestial Strategy Mansion and Kunlun, exploded instantly.

After all, before this, Yan Kan's defection with his people, planning to flee overseas, had already been rumored.

But the specific outcome, not many people knew.

Whether Yan Kan succeeded, how events played out, were all mysteries.

Everyone was waiting for a result.

Only no one expected the result to be so... straightforward and shocking.

"Damn, is this fake!?"

"Is… Xia Yue Celestial Strategy back?"

"If it were Xia Yue Celestial Strategy, there wouldn't be any need to blur out, although at first it really looked like it."

"… Do you know what Authority this is?"

"I don't know, but I heard that the entire city was shaking that day, wave after wave; at first, everyone hadn't reacted, not knowing what had happened, but after watching the video, everyone understood, it was because of this person in the video beating someone."

"The entire city... was shaking? Is it real or fake?"

"Look at the last scene, Yan Kan's head was smashed, mind you, smashed… You might not have an idea about the defense power of Celestial Strategy, even the temporary 'Armor' they construct, the strength of that is higher than dozens of us constructing it together.

So, theoretically speaking, a common Bleeding Stage Empowerer might attack a hundred times and not be able to break it.

But the person in the video threw a punch, almost without any hitches, which means... Yan Kan's 'Armor' was almost instantly smashed, and Yan Kan couldn't even release his Authority."

"..."

"It's really… too terrifying, I feel I couldn't withstand even one punch, the last time I felt like this was watching Xia Yue Celestial Strategy in action."

"Xia Yue Celestial Strategy's Authority is already the purest strength type, so who is this…"

"Stop asking, no one knows; even if someone knows, they might not want to say. A figure that can kill Celestial Strategies like dogs but remained unknown, perhaps is a bigshot within the Celestial Strategy Mansion that's not willing to be public."
