292: Chapter 293 Tearing it apart with bare hands? You call this just getting by?

"Brother Qi, going to the east? Now?"

Zhang Wei's brain was a bit muddled.

He thought that after Lin Qi came out of seclusion, the first thing he would do was either go to Longya Academy to save Sword Saint Ye Qingtian, or discuss with him how to deal with the military.

As it turned out, he wanted to go directly to the Eastern Rift Zone?

That was a death zone where even the military had suffered crushing defeats!

Furthermore, Instructor Su had lost contact; going in now, wouldn't that be throwing oneself into the net?

"Do you have a problem with that?" Lin Qi glanced at him.

The look was very calm, but Zhang Wei felt as if he had been seen through; the little schemes in his heart couldn't be hidden at all.

"No... no problem!" Zhang Wei shook his head like a rattle-drum. "I was just... just worried that you, Brother Qi, had just come out of seclusion and your body hadn't recovered yet..."

"I am in a very good state," Lin Qi said indifferently. "Better than ever before."

Watching Lin Qi's calm face, Zhang Wei suddenly believed him.

He didn't know what exactly the Tongshen Realm was.

But he knew that the Brother Qi in front of him was different from before the seclusion.

If one could say that the Brother Qi before seclusion was a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, although one couldn't see its edge, one could still feel that sharp aura.

Then the current Brother Qi was like... the sheath itself, or perhaps, like the air, like heaven and earth.

You couldn't sense him anymore.

But you knew that he was everywhere.

This feeling was very profound, but it was also very reassuring.

"Alright! I'll go get the car ready immediately!" Zhang Wei didn't hesitate anymore and turned to run outside.

"No need for a car." Lin Qi's voice came from behind.

Zhang Wei froze and turned back: "Ah? No car? Then how are we going? The Eastern Rift Zone is over a thousand kilometers away from Tianhai City."

Lin Qi didn't speak.

He just raised his hand and lightly slashed at the air in front of him.

Rip!

It was the same as before in the limestone cave.

A jet-black spatial rift appeared out of thin air in the office.

Inside the rift, there were no stars, nor any Void Realm turbulence, only a stable and deep darkness, like a tunnel leading to the unknown.

Zhang Wei: "..."

Chen Shu on the holographic screen: "..."

The two of them, one with his mouth open, one with his eyes wide, their expressions completely frozen.

Their minds were left completely blank.

This... what kind of operation is this?

Tearing open... space with bare hands?

Is this something a human can do?

As for spatial-type professionals, even Li Pojun, who was at the Peak of the Fourth Rank, only "utilized" space to perform teleportation or cutting.

That was using skills under the premise of adhering to the Law of space.

But this Lin Qi...

It wasn't even the same concept.

He was "creating" a spatial tunnel.

He treated himself as the Law of space itself.

"Let's go."

Lin Qi took the first step and walked into the jet-black rift, his figure instantly swallowed by the darkness.

Zhang Wei looked at that bottomless rift, his legs trembling slightly.

This thing... won't I be cut into pieces if I go in?

"Boss, keep up." Chen Shu's voice came from the communicator, reminding him.

Right! Keep up!

If the sky falls, Brother Qi will hold it up!

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and charged in after him.

The moment his body touched the darkness, the tearing sensation he had imagined did not come.

Instead, it felt like diving into warm water, with a strange sense of being wrapped up.

He opened his eyes and found himself standing in a tunnel made of light.

Lin Qi was just a few steps ahead of him, hands behind his back, strolling leisurely.

On both sides of the tunnel, there were rapidly receding, bizarre scenes, like a movie fast-forwarded a hundred times.

"This... this is..."

"A spatial tunnel. I built it temporarily; it's not very stable, so just make do with it." Lin Qi explained casually.

Zhang Wei no longer knew what expression to use.

Temporarily built... make do with it...

Brother Qi, you call this making do?

If the big shots of the Federation's spatial-type professionals saw this, they would probably have their Dao Hearts shattered on the spot and collectively change professions.

"Chen Shu," Lin Qi suddenly spoke, addressing the air, "project the last known coordinates where Instructor Su Qing lost contact, and the signal source coordinates of that mysterious person, in real-time in front of me."

"Yes."

Chen Shu's voice could actually be transmitted directly through this spatial tunnel.

The next second, two points of light, one green and one red, appeared in the air in front of Lin Qi.

The green light point, representing Instructor Su Qing, was located on the outskirts of the D-3 Region and had been motionless for over six hours.

The red light point, representing the mysterious person, was located at the core of the D-3 Region, blinking at a very regular frequency.

Once every seven seconds.

"Brother Qi, Instructor Su... she hasn't met with any mishap, has she?" Zhang Wei looked at that motionless green dot, his heart tightening.

"She is still alive," Lin Qi's tone was very certain. "She is just trapped. The other party set a trap, a 'maze' at the level of Law. She is now like a fly that has fallen into a glass bottle; she can see the outside, but she cannot find the exit."

"Then we..."

"Go save her first."

After Lin Qi finished speaking, he extended his finger and lightly tapped on that green light point.

Hum.

The entire spatial tunnel shook violently.

The "exit" at the end of the tunnel instantly changed from a blurry light point into a clear scene.

That was a swamp shrouded in gray mist.

Above the swamp, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled; strands of twisted power of Law, like chains, sealed the entire sky.

"Hold on tight."

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking.

Zhang Wei felt a huge push against his back.

The entire spatial tunnel, like a cannonball fired from its chamber, slammed violently toward that swamp!
