Chapter 1593 817: Forget About Him
"..."
Dead silence, the low-hanging eyes of Elder Anvil finally slowly lifted, looking at the Heavenly Furnace. The Heavenly Furnace remained unmoving, but he couldn't help but want to move.
Unbelievable.
And the Heavenly Furnace seemed a little embarrassed.
With a shy smile.
"After all, at first, I expected the Sad Worker to be hard to manage. I thought, I must invest some capital, right?
After all, you have to be willing to invest to catch a wolf. So I slipped an extra student child into the team... Though the student and I aren't close, rounding it up, it somehow counts as my own, doesn't it?"
He scratched his chin, his smile growing more joyful: "And then, I casually slipped him some wonderful little tools."
Elder Anvil's expression twitched for a moment, his clouded eyes widened, staring fixedly at the Heavenly Furnace in front of him.
As if he vaguely guessed what he wanted to say.
Precisely because of this, he couldn't control himself.
Bastard!
What the hell did you slip in?!
In response, the Heavenly Furnace just raised his hand and shook the cane that had been bouncing off his knees in front of Elder Anvil.
Following closely, the cane dissolved inch by inch, falling from his ten fingers.
But that wasn't the Heavenly Artifact that would never leave the Heavenly Furnace for a moment!
It was clearly Mercury given a shape!
Just like the old trick of Ji Jue was reprised here, the same trick, once again, played with the craftsman of Zhi Fu in front of him.
Aren't you surprised, unexpected?!
"Ah, the creation of Elder Anvil, indeed exquisite, it truly makes me, this junior, itch for it..."
The Heavenly Furnace grinned, maliciously laughing, looking at the phantom close at hand, and pleaded: "Let me lend a hand too!"
Without waiting for Elder Anvil's response, nor needing anyone's permission, he reached out directly!
No need for understanding, no need for reason.
When I manifest casually at Embers like a stroll, what's wrong with mixing into your Decay Creation?
Do you really think I can't do it?!
At that moment, not only Elder Anvil widened his eyes.
In the You Sui beneath the Vortex, Ji Jue, who was in a daze, staggered step as if struck by lightning, swaying, unable to stand steady.
Almost falling into Jiang Tongguang's arms.
"Director, I... I feel..."
He gasped: "Not too..."
Before finishing his sentence, amidst Jiang Tongguang's stunned gaze, his body shuddered, but did not turn into ashes, instead...
[yue～]
In a spasm of contractions, Ji Jue's eyes widened and mouth opened.
With a reverse gastric spasm, a radiant cane emerged slowly from his mouth like swallowing a great treasure, rising, suspended in mid-air.
From start to present, Ji Jue didn't even notice when such a thing appeared on his body!
But you can figure out with your heels who did this good deed!
Wait, could it be that during my fainting treatment at the Association, I was already targeted?!
"You damn old dog..."
Unable to greet, in the air, the high-suspended cane suddenly decomposed inch by inch, liberating layer by layer.
Like pure radiance, changing constantly, rapidly expanding, diffusing, naturally dominating everything!
In the change of radiance, Ji Jue stiffened again, only feeling as if a big hand was pressing on his head, playfully stroking, delivering greetings and nonexistent apologies.
Boy, the Embers need you now.
Are you ready?
Not ready? It's fine, happily get on the road!
Boom!!!
That invisible hand lightly pushed forward, in an instant, Ji Jue's vision went black, spinning in the sky, not knowing where he landed.
Only had time to raise his right hand, wanting to make the final gesture towards that cane.
More sadly, he finally discovered that his middle finger on his right hand was gone at some point...
Heavenly Furnace!!!
Blazing light erupted, engulfing everything!
As the creation never leaving the Heavenly Furnace, one of the few Embers Heavenly Artifacts in existence, known as the existence of [Natural Enemy], it's definitely not just as simple as a weapon.
The ability it possesses is even more complete and comprehensive than most workshops, even entrusted with a part of the Heavenly Furnace's own creation and essence.
At this moment, the Natural Enemy changes again!
The vast torrent had already raged, sweeping like a waterfall, rolling over everyone present, rushing into the last remnants left by the Sad Worker.
Even though it's empty inside.
But since the creation of Sad Worker is Sad Worker, then the corpse of Sad Worker is damned Sad Worker!
Elder Anvil, in order to hide Sad Worker's death, abandoned the remains here, which instead became the best interface and entry point for the Heavenly Furnace's actions and interventions in this Holy Fool's Creation!
Naturally using this as the source, inserted into the Transformation of Sad Worker's Creation.
Thus, between the sea and sky, in that projection of the Doomsday Theory's extinction scene, a sudden figure descended from the sky, head first, legs in the air twitching.
A hand without a middle finger still stubbornly reaching for the sky, expressing some intense emotion.
Following closely, came the second, third, and fourth!
Since the achievement of the Holy Fool's Artifact is based on the Embers of Decay Decision, then all the craftsmen who participated in the Embers of Decay Decision are naturally a part of it!
Then, just like that, not a single one was spared by the Heavenly Furnace, and all were thrown in!
Thus, the 'impurities' that should have been isolated and discarded, brazenly returned to the Melting Furnace, like a pot of rat feces spoiling the soup!
Let's see if your so-called Holy Fool's Creation can succeed!
In that instant, the emerald flame erupted like a volcano in front of the Heavenly Furnace, burning Elder Anvil's wizened face to ashes, with eerie shadow distortions that were nearly impossible to stabilize.
Below the Vortex, in the depths, mountain-like furnaces burst with a loud noise, countless flames shot into the sky, reaching along the Pillar of Descent, trying to sever the interference of the Heavenly Furnace.
Alas, it was already too late.
"What's wrong, Elder Anvil? Can't play anymore?"
The Heavenly Furnace leaned forward, enthusiastically inviting: "If you can't hold back, come up here, let's have a duel ourselves, and decide the winner."
He paused, his smile becoming more mocking: "Or are you still hoping for my junior apprentice to come to your aid?"
Elder Anvil remained silent, staring directly at the Heavenly Furnace.
"Just now he texted me, asking me to tell you that he's busy today and can't make it. As for the You Sui Group's establishment, we'll talk about it next time."
Behind the Heavenly Furnace, stars fell like embers, revealing the Ember Apparition.
As if countless hands reached towards the Great Evil's Sad Worker's Creation that was being completed, gripping it tightly, refusing to let go.
"Forget him, Elder Anvil, let's finish the Holy Fool's Artifact, it's better than anything!"
.
.
A rumbling sound erupted like violent door-kicking.
In the deathly silent workshop, waves echoed, with distant urgings like exasperated roars.
Jian Yuan, open the door, I know you're home, don't play dead and ignore me!
But Jian Yuan didn't speak, nor did he acknowledge him.
At this moment, in the Central Furnace area of the deathly silent workshop, he turned around, looking towards the slowly opening crack behind him, and the familiar figure beyond the crack.
A silent sigh.
"It's not easy, waiting until now, you've really endured."
Jian Yuan curiously asked: "Last time, someone told me that the Heavenly Furnace had nothing to do with them, why now turn around and become a beast of burden?"
"No choice, one wrong step leads to more wrong steps."
Ye Xian sighed, helplessly: "When the master is in trouble, the disciple bears the burden... conversely, when the disciple is entangled in such a troublesome affair, how can the teacher remain uninvolved?"
She held a brand new thermos, poured out the remaining tea, shook off the clinging tea leaves like trying to shake off a sticky candy with disgust: "I only regret that I wasn't strong enough back then when breaking down the door, I didn't take the opportunity to finish off that old dog, causing this situation today."
"For you, challenging me now is too early, you're overestimating yourself, go back."
Jian Yuan calmly wrapped up his work: "Or do you really think I would hold back?"
"Even if I'm overestimating myself, the delay is enough."
Ye Xian stood firm: "Moreover, the Craftsman Grandmaster wasn't interested in these things, right? If so, why not just stand by?"
This way, it's convenient for both of us."
"Indeed, you're right, I really don't have any thoughts about Elder Anvil's mess."
The silhouette paused for a moment, slowly turning back, facing the student and heir of his rival, asking word by word: "But the problem is... why should I go along with his wishes?"
Just like how Nirvana would jump out to slap both the Federation and Empire's faces without any benefit or reason, why should I let that old dog of a Heavenly Furnace have the last laugh?
Even if there's not a single benefit, as long as you're against the old dog, I'll help out in whatever way I can!
It's irrelevant to justice, it's pure personal vendetta!
Don't get in the way!
I want to go and kick that lame bastard's good leg immediately!
"..."
So, Ye Xian was silent, her expression growing more complicated, and more complicated, difficult to maintain, merging into an inexplicable weird numbness.
Many times, she wanted to speak but stopped.
"Before coming here, he said to give you something, would you like to see it?"
Jian Yuan said nothing, and Ye Xian didn't seem to seek his consent either.
She took out her phone, opened it, and played a greeting video.
A face that's hard to like suddenly popped out of the screen, smiling shamelessly, singing and dancing, pleading with hands clasped: "Ah Yuan, for the sake of our brotherhood all these years, show some face, give a brother a hand, will you? Brother will bow in gratitude to you, please be merciful this once.
My junior brother Jian Yuan is loyal and undefeatable, while I am miles behind, can't compare! Just count it as me owing you, okay? You're magnificent! If..."
Snap—
Without even playing to the end, Ye Xian 'accidentally' crushed the phone, and before the pieces hit the ground, Jian Yuan obliterated them as if they were some filthy thing.
No trace left.
Only silence remained, a long silence.
In the silence, Jian Yuan's expression also gradually became indescribable, numb, complicated, twisted, flushed, iron blue, pitch black... until finally, it became the same 'void' as Ye Xian.
Wanting to change to a pair of eyes that haven't seen such things, wanting to deafen his ears.
Now, there are two victims.
In the awkward silence, Ye Xian took a deep breath, sincerely suggesting: "...how about we still have a duel."
"...Alright then."
Jian Yuan nodded, unable to speak further.
In the silent workshop, completely isolated from the outside blasts.
No longer hearing the futile calls and shouts.
