Chapter 1643 The Cannibal Island You Speak Of!
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, there was an explosion from behind, as if something had detonated, setting everything ablaze. Flames surged out like fiery dragons. They were now cornered, with no other escape routes.
"This is bad. We can't retreat, and we can't move forward. We're trapped here."
"Ah? What do we do?"
Su Yunxi and Li Jiajia's faces changed drastically.
"Then maybe we should just stay here for now. At least it's safe."
"I don't think we can stay here for long. The explosion just now will definitely cause a chain reaction, and the fire will likely spread to us," Chen Xuan said gravely.
"No way?"
Before Li Jiajia could finish speaking, another explosion rang out, and the flames swept towards them again.
"Heavens, what do we do?"
Li Jiajia trembled, her face pale.
Chen Xuan's expression also changed slightly, darkening to the extreme.
"Quick, get in!"
Su Yunxi's voice suddenly rang out.
They turned to see that Su Yunxi had actually opened the elevator.
"With such a massive fire, I didn't expect the elevator to still be working. This is truly a ray of hope in despair!"
Chen Xuan was astonished.
Normally, elevators would be unusable due to power outages during a large fire, but it was working now. This was good news.
"Yunxi, hurry inside." Chen Xuan quickly pushed Su Yunxi into the elevator.
He then jumped in himself.
"Chen Xuan, help me..."
Li Jiajia limped, her mobility impaired, and could only call out to Chen Xuan for help.
Chen Xuan jumped out of the elevator and helped Li Jiajia in. However, as soon as Li Jiajia entered, she turned around and pushed Chen Xuan out.
"Chen Xuan, go die!!"
Li Jiajia roared.
"You..."
Chen Xuan hadn't expected Li Jiajia to harbor murderous intent towards him!
He had been merciful before, and he was being merciful again. Was mercy his weakness?
The elevator doors closed.
"What do we do now?"
Watching the flames surge from both sides, Chen Xuan's face changed drastically.
This was trouble.
The flames spread along the ground. Chen Xuan's expression was grim. Was he going to die here? This was truly awkward!
At this critical moment, the elevator door slowly opened again.
Su Yunxi waved at him, "Chen Xuan, come in quickly!"
Chen Xuan turned to see Su Yunxi grabbing Li Jiajia by the hair, rendering Li Jiajia completely powerless.
Chen Xuan darted in.
At the last moment, the elevator doors slowly closed, blocking the flames.
Chen Xuan said, "Yunxi, thank you."
Su Yunxi replied, "I should be apologizing to you. I shouldn't have saved her. She's too wicked. What grudge do you have with her to harm you like this?"
"Half an hour ago, she was my girlfriend..."
"Girlfriend?"
"But I just discovered she was cheating on me."
"So that's how it is. A true man never worries about not having a wife," Su Yunxi comforted him.
"Why don't you marry me?"
Chen Xuan said playfully.
"Hmph! You wish," Su Yunxi snorted coyly.
"I'm not just wishing. I'm from the future, and you will marry me," Chen Xuan stated confidently.
Hearing their playful banter, Li Jiajia's mood was very complicated.
Soon, they safely reached the outside.
"Jiajia, it's great that you're alright! I was so scared earlier! I shouldn't have abandoned you!"
Just then, Xu Shijie rushed over and hugged Li Jiajia.
Li Jiajia's expression stiffened slightly, but she eventually hugged Xu Shijie back.
"Jiajia, what happened to you?" Xu Shijie looked at Li Jiajia's appearance and couldn't help but say.
"It's all because of this guy, Chen Xuan. If it weren't for him, I would have been fine."
Li Jiajia suddenly turned her accusations towards Chen Xuan, saying coldly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's face flushed red, and he cursed at Li Jiajia, "You good-for-nothing Li Jiajia, you scoundrel! I saved you, and you're still trying to frame me!"
Su Yunxi was also furious.
This Li Jiajia was truly inhuman!
"How did I frame you? Don't you mess around," Li Jiajia said, startled.
Xu Shijie said to the security captain, "We were trapped in the room earlier, but this guy, Chen Xuan, just stood by and watched. How can you hire someone like this as a security guard? I want to complain! I want to complain!"
"Chen Xuan, did you do this?"
The security captain walked over.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, Su Yunxi stepped forward and said, "Chen Xuan did it, but it's because they were too shameless."
"Who are you? What right do you have to interrupt? I'm disciplining my subordinate!"
The security captain said coldly.
"I am..."
Su Yunxi was about to speak, but Chen Xuan stopped her. "I'll handle this."
"I did it, so what? Fire me? Fine, I quit!"
Chen Xuan took off his uniform and threw it forcefully in the security captain's face.
"You... Chen Xuan... you bastard!"
The security captain's face turned green with anger.
Chen Xuan remained unmoved, feeling a sense of liberation.
In the real world, he had chosen to save Li Jiajia and Xu Shijie, but the result was still being fired. This time, he wouldn't tolerate it anymore!
"Chen Xuan, you scoundrel, I'm going to report you to the authorities!"
Li Jiajia shouted.
"Slap!"
Chen Xuan slapped Li Jiajia across the face. "You slut, I've really given you too much leeway!!"
"Chen Xuan... you..."
Xu Shijie, standing nearby, was about to speak, but Chen Xuan's fist already landed.
Bang, bang, bang!
Screams also rang out!
Then, Chen Xuan picked up Xu Shijie and Li Jiajia and started walking towards the burning building.
Su Yunxi quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to dispel the inner demons in my heart!"
With that, Chen Xuan headed straight for the burning building.
He had always felt that after meeting Su Yunxi, he had dispelled his inner demons and no longer considered this matter important. But this time, he realized that the matter had planted a demon in his heart.
Now, he was going to put the two of them back into the burning building.
Whether these two survived or died was entirely up to their fate.
Having done all that, Chen Xuan ran down and looked at Su Yunxi in the distance, offering her a smile.
The scene shifted, and Chen Xuan found himself in a vast white space.
"Chen Xuan, you are very powerful. Not only did you dispel your inner demons, but you also broke through this third trial!" The voice of the World Tree sounded quietly.
"This has been very beneficial for me. Breaking through to the next realm will be much simpler in the future."
Chen Xuan smiled.
"You have passed the third trial and broken the Heavenly Enlightenment Stone Tablet. Hurry and check your reward." The World Tree said.
Chen Xuan looked around and saw a square platform appear in front of him, surrounded by runes, exuding an extremely profound aura.
On this platform lay an ancient scroll, with a seal on it.
Chen Xuan stepped forward and grabbed the scroll. The seal on the scroll flew off automatically.
As the scroll was opened, golden runes flew out and hovered above Chen Xuan's head.
The Great Dao is Simple!
The next moment, the golden runes surged into Chen Xuan's mind, and a vast amount of information flooded his consciousness.
Following that, another voice echoed in Chen Xuan's mind, "Young friend, would you be interested in doing business with me?"
Chen Xuan's eyes widened. "Who... who are you?"
"The Cannibal Island you speak of!"
