Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 530: Chapter 523: Leaving All in the Dust

I’ve found you...

Bai Jiu was absolutely certain those were the words Zhou Yuanjue had spoken.

And somehow, in that instant, he could feel Zhou Yuanjue’s gaze pierce through the screen, cross a thousand miles, and land right on him.

’He’s found me...’

’He’s pinpointed my location?’

’Impossible!’

’From such a vast distance, with so many eyes from all over the world watching him, how could he possibly lock onto my position in an instant?’

It was utterly beyond Bai Jiu’s comprehension.

’It must be a hallucination. Is it because he survived a nuclear blast, and it’s created some imperceptible fear deep inside me?’

’That has to be it!’

Bai Jiu took a deep breath, his eyes still glued to the screen, waiting for Zhou Yuanjue’s next move.

...

...

「Deep within the Great Satan Desert.」

Having endured the baptism of a nuclear explosion and survived the most powerful destructive force humanity had ever mastered, Zhou Yuanjue was filled with a powerful confidence that surpassed all peaks and limits. It elevated his Spirit to a profound and mysterious state.

In this state, he discovered that he seemed to be able, to some extent, to perceive "malice" and "danger."

In other words, his intuition had been magnified to a terrifying degree.

It wasn’t just nearby malice and danger; he could vaguely sense any malicious magnetic field aimed at him within a radius of a thousand kilometers.

It was just like the sense of crisis he had felt moments before the nuke arrived.

Just now, amidst those countless malicious magnetic fields, he had found the most powerful one. This particular field was like a terrifying black hole, distorting everything around it, making it stand out conspicuously among the weaker ones.

In the material world, distance is a difficult barrier to overcome. But in the world of Spirit and magnetic fields, a distance of thousands of miles might be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

As soon as he perceived that black hole-like malicious magnetic field, Zhou Yuanjue slightly extended his own Spirit and will, forging a connection with it. Even in the physical world, he could feel the pull of this strange link, showing him the way.

"The leader of the Baiyi Organization, is it..."

Based on the intelligence data, Zhou Yuanjue deduced the identity behind the malicious magnetic field. He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

’Two challengers have already appeared, but it’s clear neither of them has any obvious connection to the Starry Sky Country or the Celestial Organization. If the Starry Sky Country and the Celestial Organization were going to retaliate against my actions, they wouldn’t have waited this long.’

’Besides, that nuke seemed to be of the world’s most advanced caliber, which is why my power assessment was off and I nearly had an accident.’

’Without the Starry Sky Country’s covert support, I refuse to believe the Baiyi Organization could get its hands on a weapon of that forbidden class, no matter how powerful they are.’

’So, this nuke is most likely the response from the Starry Sky Country and the Celestial Organization.’

"I’ve already gone this far, and you’re still unwilling to show yourselves? It seems you have more important plans..."

"Fine. Since a King Level opponent is unlikely to appear, I’ll just have to make do with the head of the Baiyi Organization’s leader."

"After they sent me such a ’grand gift’ from the shadows, I suppose I ought to ’return the favor.’"

Zhou Yuanjue murmured softly.

The next moment.

SWOOSH!

His entire body was in a state of Star Transformation. With a light tap of his toes, he instantly broke through the air, leaving a series of visible white vapor trails in his wake. Like a phantom, he vanished from his spot and shot off in a specific direction across the Great Satan Desert.

"What is this?!"

The world’s leaders, watching through drone cameras, all wore expressions of astonishment, wondering what on earth Zhou Yuanjue intended to do.

"We still don’t know Zhou Yuanjue’s specific target."

"The direction he’s headed is completely opposite to the nuke’s launch site."

"We’re in immediate pursuit, but... his speed is just too fast! Our aircraft can’t keep up! Requesting support from headquarters..."

The aircraft can’t keep up...

Hearing the report from the field intelligence personnel, the world’s leaders couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity.

If it were any other target, and the field staff dared to say such a thing, they probably would have been immediately dismissed for dereliction of duty, wouldn’t they?

But since it was *him*, everything made sense.

This was the man who survived at the epicenter of a nuclear blast—a living Divine Being walking the earth!

Thus, aside from a few powerful world nations that could continue tracking Zhou Yuanjue’s movements with their global satellite coverage, the smaller countries and media outlets completely lost sight of him.

Zhou Yuanjue’s speed was far beyond what their drones could ever hope to match.

Viewers around the world let out a collective wail as they stared at the screen, now empty of Zhou Yuanjue’s figure.

Meanwhile, Bai Jiu stared blankly at the screen where Zhou Yuanjue had vanished. Seeing the direction he had taken, a powerful sense of crisis washed over him.

Even if he couldn’t comprehend how, he knew at this moment that the man had truly locked onto his hiding place and was now rushing straight toward him.

’What do I do? Run?’

’The man can pinpoint my location from a thousand miles away. Would running even work? Besides, if I flee now, with all the world’s intelligence agencies focused on this, my position will inevitably be exposed. And as the man who secretly launched a nuke—now the world’s number one terrorist—will the major world powers, led by Donghua, let me go?’

’One day, a nuke might just end up landing on my own head.’

A hundred thoughts raced through Bai Jiu’s mind, his expression under the mask shifting from light to dark.

CRACK!

The crystal wine glass in his hand shattered from the sheer force of his turbulent emotions, spilling top-shelf red wine all over the floor.

An aroma that would make any seasoned wine connoisseur drool—or even give up everything for a taste—filled the room, but he was in no mood to savor it.

Finally, he seemed to have steeled his resolve and made a decision.

He picked up the communicator on the table and pressed the call button.

"Go to Level 1 combat readiness immediately! Activate all weapons and hidden assets simultaneously! Aim every high-powered weapon we can deploy at the incoming Zhou Yuanjue! We will expend our entire arsenal, spare no expense! Also, have all ’Cadres’ in the base report to my room."

Bai Jiu spoke calmly into the communicator, then hung up after receiving his subordinate’s acknowledgment.

His trembling heart grew calm once more.

’After the nuke, and on top of fighting two opponents before that, he can’t be completely unharmed. This might be his weakest moment.’

’Don’t you underestimate me!’

’I am the master of Baiyi, Reyn Morgan!’
