210: Chapter 210 The time has come, kill him!
"I am guided by Heavenly Secrets; leaving today is the best choice."
Chu Xuan looked around at everyone and smiled slightly. "Although we haven't spent much time together, after these few days, we can be considered comrades-in-arms. I truly feel a bit reluctant to leave. However, the road ahead is long, and partings are inevitable. We will surely meet again in the future."
"Sigh, we didn't even get to have a farewell banquet. I'm really a bit reluctant to see you two go."
Bai Yunfei shook his head and sighed, reaching up to rub his neck. Soon, two small mud balls appeared. "Brother Fei doesn't have anything good, so take these as a parting gift."
The others also spoke up; it was clear that they were all very reluctant to see them go.
Whether their personal feelings were genuine or not was one thing, but in their eyes, hunting Specters was far too easy with Chu Xuan around. Tang Zheng was also a top-tier combatant at critical moments, capable of handling sudden high-risk situations at any time.
Now that both were leaving together, it was undoubtedly a massive loss.
"Alright, since Chu Xuan's mind is made up, everyone shouldn't try to make him stay any longer. Besides, this isn't a life-or-death parting. Once we root out the Azure Dragon and wipe out the Resurrection Society, we can still bring Chu Xuan back."
Ming Xiucheng stood up and waved his hand. "It's getting late. If everyone has something to say, let's talk while we walk."
Everyone walked towards the helipad inside the Research Base.
On the way, Zhang Qiang suddenly asked, "Why didn't those two girls, Xiao Lajiao and Qin Qing, show up? Didn't we agree that everyone would see Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng off today?"
"Forget it. One is still recovering from injuries, and the other has a child to look after, so it's not very convenient. I'll go say goodbye to them myself... Tang Zheng, you stay here. I've brought your share along too."
After saying that, Chu Xuan didn't wait for a response and walked away quickly, disappearing around a corner in the blink of an eye.
However, in less than two minutes, everyone saw Chu Xuan return, and they couldn't help but be surprised by his speed.
"I made a call on the way. They have something to take care of and will arrive later. Let's head out first," Chu Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
Everyone felt that Chu Xuan's actions were strange in every way, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what exactly was odd.
Ten minutes later, when they arrived at the helipad and saw two J-16 fighter jets parked there, expressions of shock appeared on their faces again as they all looked at Ming Xiucheng.
"Captain, did you apply for two fighter jets?" Luo Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.
"I only applied for one. You'll have to ask Chu Xuan about the other one." Ming Xiucheng looked at Chu Xuan with a half-smile, as if he had known all along.
Luo Xiaotian turned back to Chu Xuan and asked in confusion, "Chu Xuan, didn't you ask me to prepare an armed helicopter for you? This is..."
"Perhaps Chu Xuan doesn't trust us. He's treating us all as imaginary enemies and setting up a smokescreen."
Ming Xiucheng's expression was unreadable as he stared unblinkingly. "Chu Xuan, there are two fighter jets and one helicopter here. Which one will you choose? Or will you choose none of these three and pick another helicopter from the base?"
Chu Xuan smiled. "Captain, how do you think I should choose?"
"Before this, I thought you might choose this newly appeared fighter jet, but now I think you won't choose any of the three."
Ming Xiucheng took a deep look at Chu Xuan and sighed. "Chu Xuan, why go to such lengths? You conjured a Clone to stay here while your main body ran off alone. Do you really think the Azure Dragon is among us?"
"What? Chu Xuan, this is just a Clone?"
"Was it during that moment he suddenly left? No wonder it felt so strange just now..."
Everyone was first shocked, and then a complex feeling of both annoyance and amusement arose. They all thought Chu Xuan was being far too cautious and distrustful of them.
While everyone was talking, Chu Xuan remained silent.
"Chu Xuan, where does your main body intend to go? Leaving alone isn't a good idea."
Ming Xiucheng sighed again. "By doing this, aren't you just giving the Azure Dragon an opportunity? If he targets you, no one will be able to save you."
Chu Xuan said calmly, "Captain, where do you think my main body will go?"
"I guess it's probably the airport..."
Ming Xiucheng shook his head slightly. "You've been setting off one Smoke bomb after another, making it impossible to guess which plane you'll take. But in reality, you've already decided not to depart from the base at all. You don't even trust Tang Zheng. You plan to blend into the crowd and leave on a passenger plane. I can only say... you're fighting a battle of wits against thin air."
"The airport?"
Chu Xuan sneered. "Don't tell me you don't know where my main body is?"
Ming Xiucheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why would I know?"
"Because you left a Marking on me!"
Chu Xuan's lips curled up. "My main body is on the highway not far from the Research Base. You clearly sensed it, so why are you pretending not to know?"
"Marking?" A white light flashed across Ming Xiucheng's gold-rimmed glasses. "I'm not sure I understand what you mean."
"Don't understand?"
Chu Xuan laughed. "Do I really have to call you 'Azure Dragon' before you'll understand?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked once again.
From just a moment ago, they had felt that Chu Xuan's attitude toward Ming Xiucheng was strange, and this sentence was undoubtedly a bombshell.
He actually said that Night Watchers Captain Ming Xiucheng was the Resurrection Society's Azure Dragon?!
This was insane!
Except for Tang Zheng and Zhang Qiang, everyone on the scene looked at Chu Xuan in utter shock.
No one believed Ming Xiucheng was the Azure Dragon. Even though Chu Xuan had the Heavenly Secrets ability, they only thought he had made a mistake or that there was some misunderstanding.
If the Night Watchers' captain was the Resurrection Society's Azure Dragon, then what were they?
Just then, a burst of upbeat background music started playing from Tang Zheng.
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze toward Tang Zheng, who shrugged. "Don't look at me, I'm just playing some music."
They turned their eyes back to Chu Xuan.
"You don't believe it?"
Chu Xuan looked around and said slowly, "The Azure Dragon has the ability to Copy. He can Copy any of your skills. Especially when your Talent skills are copied, they will gradually weaken and become nourishment for the Azure Dragon's growth. I wonder if any of you have noticed your Talents weakening?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people present changed expression, their faces showing disbelief.
Especially Zhang Qiang.
"Chu Xuan, you're becoming delusional..." Ming Xiucheng, who had remained calm throughout, suddenly turned deathly pale as he said this.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, he burst into laughter.
"Azure Dragon, what do you think I was talking so much nonsense for? Why do you think I left a Clone here but had my main body leave? It was to distract you so that Zhao Hongchan could succeed and cut off your retreat!"
"The time has come!"
While stepping back, Chu Xuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Ming Xiucheng in front of him.
"Tang Zheng, kill him!"
