Chapter 637 Tracing Back to the Source

Jiang Tu stood silently in the woods. The jacket, jeans, and even the colored contact lenses he wore were all conjured through star techniques, but they were surprisingly effective.

At least... his eyes, which contained the brilliance of twinkling stars, were thoroughly concealed by the colored lenses.

Although these items conjured by imitating star techniques weren't so fragile that they would shatter with a single touch, they would truly break down into star power if subjected to a real attack. So, they still needed to be handled with care.

Jiang Tu stood alone in the woods. It was daytime, and beams of sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, illuminating him.

But in Jiang Tu's world, the sun was rapidly rising in the west and setting in the east, while constellations constantly flowed and shifted overhead.

One day, then another...

Jiang Tu suddenly reached out and tapped gently. Two figures abruptly appeared beside him, one flying backward, and the other moving at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye!

Yi Tenghui! Baze!

Jiang Tu licked his lips and gently rotated his palm. In the pitch-black night, the scene of the past was "played" again.

Yi Tenghui stabbed Baze in the heart with a knife, while Nana Zi, with her emerald green eyes, appeared silently behind Yi Tenghui like a specter.

Bang!

Baze embraced Yi Tenghui and exploded instantly!

Jiang Tu frowned slightly and swiped his finger in the air, sliding it gently to the left.

Time reversed again...

When did Baze escape?

Jiang Tu stood still in the darkness.

Before him was the scene of Yi Tenghui hacking at Baze with his blade.

One strike after another, Yi Tenghui's eyes were so firm, yet so resolute.

Jiang Tu quietly watched this scene, but stepped backward...

Yi Tenghui's movements were very strange. Because it was played back in slow motion, his posture... Here!

Jiang Tu's eyes lit up, and the scene before him froze instantly.

It was the moment when Yi Tenghui was affected by the lightning surrounding Baze!

That was... the moment when Baze's body lit up with lightning!

Jiang Tu pondered silently. Baze was struggling on the verge of death time and time again under Yi Tenghui's attacks, so he had no reason not to use a teleportation-type star technique to escape.

Therefore, if Yi Tenghui could use the star chart of "Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves" to knock Baze away repeatedly and prevent him from using space-based star techniques to escape, then only this moment was when Yi Tenghui gave him a chance to breathe.

Jiang Tu watched the instant when Yi Tenghui was affected by the lightning, the moment when electric light burst from Baze's body and currents spread, and he couldn't help but frown deeply.

He circled around the two men's battle, watching the frozen scene in the air, and gently rotated his palm in mid-air...

The light on Baze's body grew brighter, and the currents crawling over him became denser. Slowly, patches of current exploded and scattered in all directions.

Splashing forward, backward, left, right, in all directions... Wait!

Jiang Tu's breath hitched slightly. What did he see?

The electric currents exploding from Baze's lightning-type star technique were blue and white, but this current...

Jiang Tu walked over and looked at a special purple current that was suspended in mid-air.

It was about 15 centimeters long, twisting and turning like a winding snake.

In the intense battle at that time, no one would have noticed this purple current. Even Jiang Tu, using the star technique of creating weapons and reversing time, had watched it again and again, and still hadn't discovered it.

How did Jiang Xiao discover its existence?

It was in the frozen frame that he discovered the existence of this special current!

Why were the countless, dense currents in the air all blue and white, but this one was purple?

Why?

Jiang Tu watched the stagnant current before him, his palm moving slowly.

His gaze followed the purple current, falling on the weedy ground, and then the purple current disappeared into the earth.

Jiang Tu frowned slightly, enveloped his hand in star power, and dug a pit in the weedy ground.

Under the dark night sky, in the slightly blurred world, the wasteland was not dug open...

Jiang Tu could change reality, and even create a deep pit. But after time was reshaped, Jiang Tu had no ability to change the scene at that time.

Jiang Tu's expression was a little unsightly. He withdrew his star technique, closed his eyes to rest, and then slowly raised his head.

Sunlight fell through the leaves, leaving patches of light on Jiang Tu's face. A breeze swept through, bringing a touch of coolness.

Jiang Tu's mind raced, silently deducing something.

At the same time, in Hua Xia, Yi Zhou City.

Jiang Xiao's figure flickered, appearing directly in Er Wei's office.

He saw Er Wei on the phone. She noticed Jiang Xiao's arrival immediately, but raised her hand to stop him, continuing to listen to the call, occasionally agreeing.

Half a minute later, Er Wei put down the phone and said, "The two medics will report soon."

Jiang Xiao said, "Does the military's database include a star technique that can transform into an electric current and escape stealthily?"

Hearing this, Er Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What color? White or purple?"

It was Jiang Xiao's turn to be dumbfounded. He hurriedly said, "Purple."

Er Wei nodded and said, "It comes from the 'Thunder's Fury' other-dimensional space of the Kingdom of North Road, called the 'Purple Lightning Flash' star technique. That space is not open to the public. The Kingdom of North Road is very strict in its lockdown. Star Warriors in our country must have a certain status. Even if their strength is sufficient, it is difficult to obtain it."

As she spoke, Er Wei leaned back in her chair, propped her elbow on the armrest of the swivel chair, and supported her chin with one hand, saying, "It's a high-speed movement star technique."

Jiang Xiao, "Mm."

Er Wei said, "It has a path of action. You can think of it as the 'Desperate Blade' star technique, except that it has changed its form and can temporarily transform its body into a purple electric current."

Jiang Xiao said, "In other words, it is fundamentally different from teleportation. No matter how fast the current is, it has a path of action!"

Er Wei nodded as a matter of course.

Jiang Xiao asked again, "The 'Desperate Blade' only rushes out after locking onto a target.

The weapon can lead the Star Warrior to traverse three times, and in each traverse, it travels in a straight line and cannot turn.

It can only turn when it locks onto a target again after one traverse."

Er Wei shook her head and said, "Purple Lightning Flash is not like that. It does not connect two fixed points. It can freely change direction during high-speed movement, but..."

Jiang Xiao, "Mm?"

Er Wei said, "In the process of high-speed movement, it is difficult for ordinary Star Warriors to change direction. Moreover, the Purple Lightning Flash, once activated, only has one second of action time before turning back into physical form."

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up and said, "Only one second?"

Er Wei softly hummed, "Yes. 'Desperate Blade' is based on the target location, while the Purple Lightning Flash star technique can move freely during use, and is limited by time.

Also, don't think that one second is a short time. It's enough for you to reach a very far place."

Jiang Xiao said, "Is there any data on how far the Purple Lightning Flash can move at its fastest?"

Er Wei shook her head and said, "I'll ask for you."

Jiang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and said, "Answer this question first. If that person appears underground after one second?"

Er Wei frowned slightly and tilted her head towards the thick walls of the office, saying, "Would you be willing to flash into a stone pillar?"

Jiang Xiao said, "I should be trapped. Although it wouldn't matter much, I could get out and it wouldn't be fatal, but my heart would resist."

Er Wei snorted and said, "Purple Lightning Flash is different from 'Desperate Body'. Star Warriors who activate 'Desperate Body' are always in physical form, while Purple Lightning Flash changes into current form and then turns back into physical form, so it will be similar to the way teleportation appears."

Jiang Xiao excitedly licked his lips and said, "Time me."

Er Wei, "What?"

Jiang Xiao said, "Time one second, with your perception and hand speed, I want the kind that is accurate to the millisecond."

Er Wei narrowed her eyes slightly, having long since realized what was happening. She raised her wrist and adjusted her military watch, saying, "Ready."

Jiang Xiao raised his right hand, extended his finger, and said, "The moment I tap my finger lightly."

Er Wei made a nasal sound, lowered her head and looked at her watch. At such a close distance, she didn't need to look up, relying entirely on her perception to know Jiang Xiao's movements.

At the same time, in the Central Plains, outside Yi County.

The frozen scene was still the battle between Yi Tenghui and Baze.

Jiang Tu extremely slowly reversed time, watching with his own eyes as the purple current crept back onto Baze's body little by little, merging into the blue and white currents.

Gradually, Baze, who was covered in electric current, had the light flashing on his body weaken a little, and reversed to the moment before he activated the star technique.

Jiang Xiao and Jiang Tu extended their fingers and tapped lightly.

One second, Er Wei: "Stop!"

Jiang Xiao and Jiang Tu's five fingers suddenly spread open!

And in Jiang Tu's eyes, the star chart on Yi Tenghui's chest lit up brightly, and the ghostly Nana Zi appeared behind him again.

Such a change in the scene only took place in one second.

Battles of this level were indeed a matter of life and death in a second.

In the frozen frame, Jiang Tu walked forward along the direction the purple current had traveled before entering the ground.

According to the habits of Star Warriors, Jiang Xiao believed that Baze would definitely emerge from the ground again, which meant that at this moment, Baze's figure should be above the surface.

Jiang Xiao said to Er Wei, "Help me ask what the maximum moving distance of one Purple Lightning Flash is."

"Okay." Er Wei picked up the phone on the desk. This kind of landline was only found in offices.

And Jiang Tu, who was far away in Central Plains Province, followed the direction, froze the time, and ran forward in big strides.

Before long, Er Wei put down the phone and said, "They will help me check. Sit down and wait."

As she spoke, Er Wei gestured to the water glass on the table and said, "Go pour me a glass of water."

The words fell, but there was no response.

"Jiang Xiao." Er Wei raised her eyes, but saw Jiang Xiao's excited eyes, especially the action of licking his lips, which was almost carved out of the same mold as herself, with a hint of bloodlust.

Er Wei seemed to realize something.

In the dense forest outside Yi County in Central Plains Province, Jiang Tu really only walked less than a hundred meters in one direction, and in this pitch-black night, he saw a rather eye-catching purple electric light!

Jiang Tu slowly turned his palm again. The purple electric current seemed to be playing frame by frame. The previous frame was still an electric current, the next frame spread out, and the next frame was a human form!

Jiang Tu turned his head and looked behind him. Here, he couldn't see any battle scenes at all, which meant that on that night, none of Jiang Xiao's star techniques were exposed to Baze's eyes!

Jiang Tu slowly turned his palm, one point, one point, and another point... Baze suddenly disappeared!

Teleportation?

He teleported away?

Then the question came, if he could teleport, why use the current before?

Was it to escape while exploding and killing Yi Tenghui?

In the office, Jiang Xiao asked, "What kind of teleportation does Baze have? Do you know? What is the maximum range?"

Er Wei carefully recalled the data and said, "I don't know which country's teleportation it is, but since it's teleportation, the range won't be too far. No one can flash globally like you."

Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "No need to look, I'll measure it myself."

Er Wei, "Hmm?"

Outside Yi County, Jiang Tu stood on a large tree. In the frozen frame of the next second, he saw a figure appearing silently in the distant night sky.

Unlike teleportation, teleportation-type star techniques are extremely fast to activate and have no casting pre-delay because the distance of teleportation is very short!

In Er Wei's sight, Jiang Xiao's body suddenly transformed into a middle-aged man with a parted haircut, and then flashed away.

The next moment, Jiang Xiao appeared directly below Baze. Then he waved his hand, and Jiang Tu reset, his energy full again.

With Jiang Tu's reset, in Jiang Xiao's synesthetic vision, the brilliant night sky once again turned into a scene of blue sky and white clouds.

Jiang Xiao clenched his fists,

No matter which corner of the earth you hide in,

If I don't find you, my name isn't Jiang Tu!
