Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 344 - 335: You Madman! Even the Future Has Been Calculated!

Chapter 344: Chapter 335: You Madman! Even the Future Has Been Calculated!

The two walked on the River of Time.

Although they could step on the Water of Time, they didn’t dare to walk too fast because they had to gather their internal Spiritual Power at their feet at the exact moment of contact with the water’s surface, lifting their bodies up.

Thus, it seemed as if they were walking on the River of Time, but in reality, their feet did not touch the water’s surface.

Just like the nine monks forming an array to trap Su Mu, they seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the water, but in fact, they constructed an incredibly powerful Space-Time Array beneath them and were sitting on it, not actually touching the water.

Therefore, the nine monks dared not change positions easily and could only remain seated, waiting for reinforcements.

The biggest problem with trying to kill Su Mu on the River of Time was figuring out how to cope with the suppression from the River of Time.

Because the River of Time is the highest rule river of All Heavens and Myriad Realms, they couldn’t fight openly on it, and even moving freely was a serious issue.

Yet... that River Guardian could move unimpeded on the River of Time, not only unaffected by its rules but even able to control the Water of Time!

Thus, trapping Su Mu in the cramped array, preventing him from contacting the River of Time, was the key to the deadly scheme!

...

In the array, Su Mu sat with his eyes closed, seemingly unhurried and unflustered.

But Zero, the observer, was anxious.

Why is he not in a hurry at all?

Elder Ling looked at the resting Su Mu, perplexed.

Because he sensed two extremely strong presences rushing upstream from the future in the River of Time!

....

In the next second, two figures appeared at the end of the river and slowly walked towards them.

Seeing these two figures, the nine monks breathed a sigh of relief. If these two adults had delayed any longer, they wouldn’t have held on.

Maintaining this array had already exhausted their bodies, especially on the River of Time.

If these two adults hadn’t arrived, Su Mu wouldn’t need to take action; the nine of them would have perished from exhaustion, eventually swallowed by the River of Time.

.....

"Dispel the array, let me test his real strength."

The robed man approached and said to the nine monks with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, the nine monks widened their eyes in confusion.

After going through great pains to trap the man, what did they mean by dispelling the array now?

Was all their previous effort a joke?

.....

"If you want to go crazy, do it somewhere else."

The woman in green, eyebrows knitted, coldly stated.

"Don’t listen to him. You nine continue maintaining the array, stay focused, and don’t get distracted."

...

"Isn’t it just death if we lose?"

"Are you that scared?"

The robed man spread his hands, smiling lightly.

The nine monks swallowed instinctively, not daring to respond.

.....

After receiving the Divine Thought sent by Xiaoqi, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, realizing that things were arranged, allowing him to fight freely without many worries.

Su Mu stood up, carefully observing the man and the woman.

The woman in green, with a sword hanging at her waist, emitted a faint sword pressure as if she were a Holy Sword standing in place.

The man, wearing a loose robe with his hands behind his back, was smiling at him.

This robed man was a dangerous individual.

The woman in green gave off a sharp vibe, whereas the robed man felt like a deep abyss under a calm surface!

Though the robed man’s face wore a constant smile, seeming harmless, he gave off an inexplicably insane aura.

....

"Oh?"

The robed man noticed a familiar aura and walked toward a small wooden boat nearby.

Approaching it, he clasped his fists toward the elder on the deck and said, "Senior, do you remember me?"

At this, Zero nodded and said, "I didn’t expect to meet again in such a manner after so many years."

Upon hearing Zero’s response, the robed man was taken aback, feigning surprise as he said, "I’m honored you still remember me, senior."

Even though the atmosphere was tense, the robed man went off to chat.

The woman in green clenched her right fist, visibly frustrated, truly not wishing to be on a mission with this lunatic; it drove her crazy.

Most frustrated were the nine monks. They were truly on the verge of breaking down, exhausting their life force every second to maintain the array while this man went off to chat.

But what could they do?

They dared not complain... as they knew all too well how terrifying this man was, capable of slaughtering all nine of them without hesitation.

.....

"Why have you come here?" Zero asked the robed man coldly.

"Senior, you’re asking the obvious."

"I’m here to... kill him," the robed man pointed at Su Mu in the array, then shrugged: "It’s a trivial matter."

Hearing this, Zero let out a heavy sigh, saying, "Becoming a pawn is not like you."

Seeing the robed man, Elder Ling realized this time Su Mu was likely doomed.

This lunatic, in terms of years lived, was just a few eras younger than Zero, their ages quite close.

In their ranks, having lived for countless epochs, a few eras’ difference was akin to being a few years older.

In essence, they could be considered of the same era.

.....

"I can’t help it, I can’t beat him, nor do I want to die so easily at his hands, so... I have to work for him." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The robed man shrugged, appearing indifferent.

The "him" he referred to was a powerful figure to whom he was loyal, the architect of this murderous scheme.

...

"Are you here, senior, intending to get a share of the spoils?"

"How about we kill him together and share the opportunity?"

"How about it?"

The robed man’s eyes were sharp, probing Elder Ling’s stance.

...

Hearing this, Zero chuckled, then looked at the robed man, speaking deliberately, "If you dare touch him, I will have to kill you."

These words made the robed man pause, then he burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahaha"

His laughter echoed over the waters, scaring the Water Beasts below into a frenzy.
