Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Why Could I Still Hurt Him?

No wonder the man in black crushed Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, and the others so easily.

It was as effortless as an elephant squashing an ant.

You have to understand, even a half-level difference in spiritual power is like an impassable chasm—a true watershed in terms of strength.

So with so many levels between them, the man in black fighting them was like an immortal fighting a mortal.

And, just as Lan Cangyue had said, the man in black had indeed shed all the characteristics of a Beastman.

’But then Shen Yue had another thought. If the man in black had truly reached a state of being immortal and impervious to harm, then how could his arm have been severed?’

At that moment, Gu Fangqi, who had been listening, thought of the same thing.

"If he’s immortal and can’t be harmed, how was I able to injure him?"

Mu Silin said, "That’s what I find strange as well. Logically, with his level of strength, we shouldn’t have been able to harm him in the slightest, even if we gave it our all!"

Shen Yue frowned as she listened.

’An 8S spiritual power level... Others shouldn’t even be able to get close to him, yet this person’s Spiritual Body barrier was broken by a single strike from Huang Ziyue.’

’And Gu Fangqi even cut off his arm.’

A sense of unease grew within her as she thought about it.

’Could it be that this man got injured on purpose?’

Her heart skipped a beat. Ignoring whatever else the others were saying, she rushed out.

"Take me back to the bamboo house we were at before. Quickly."

Huang Ziyue had also been frowning in thought.

When they heard her, they all snapped to attention.

Ye Lüqi said, "I’ll take you!"

"I’ll go too!" Mu Silin added.

Shen Yue looked at Huang Ziyue.

"You come with me. The rest of you stay at the bamboo house and guard the children."

’It’s a good thing these men had this argument,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have had the chance to stand together and discuss this matter.’

’And she might have overlooked this crucial piece of information.’

Huang Ziyue’s expression was also grave. Without hesitation, he wrapped an arm around her and vanished on the spot.

Meanwhile, Bai Chaosi, Mu Silin, and the others also realized the gravity of the situation.

They quickly released their spiritual power, sealing the entire bamboo house in a tight protective barrier.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yue and Huang Ziyue appeared outside the water dungeon cave.

The surroundings were uncannily quiet.

Shen Yue started walking inside. It was the same place they had stayed before, but now she felt a chill seeping up from the ground.

Her heart was in her throat without her even realizing it.

Just as she was about to step into the cave, Huang Ziyue grabbed her, his expression grim.

"Walk behind me."

Shen Yue nodded.

The moment the two of them entered the cave, before they could even steady themselves, a wave of heat kicked up a gray mist and rushed toward them.

"Careful."

Huang Ziyue instantly flicked his sleeve, sending a palm strike forward to block whatever was coming for Shen Yue.

The wave of heat dissipated.

Shen Yue trembled. ’The man in black is the only one in this cave. Who did that attack come from?’

’Could it have been him?’

The cave fell silent again.

Shen Yue stepped out from behind Huang Ziyue and looked up. The cave was exactly as it was before, completely unchanged.

It was as if the wave of heat had never happened, just a figment of their imagination.

Huang Ziyue was also stunned. He had clearly launched a palm strike, yet nothing had happened.

’Not even the stone walls of the cave shook?’

Shen Yue couldn’t spare it another thought.

She rushed deeper inside, afraid that her worries had come true.

She rounded a corner and stood before the puddle, her eyes scanning the area.

The heart that had been stuck in her throat instantly dropped back into place.

’He’s still here.’

’The man is still here.’

He was still lying face down in the water, unconscious.

Shen Yue slowly exhaled, then walked closer to check the wires wrapped around the bars.

She found they weren’t broken or loose.

Then she crouched down to inspect the Electric Shock Stick device.

Huang Ziyue walked to her side, his brow tightly furrowed as he stared at the man in the water.

He had thought the same thing as Shen Yue—that the man had feigned his injuries and already escaped.

He never expected the man to still be here.

’Does this mean we were wrong?’
