Lin Yuan looked at Nan Gong Xuan, who was tied up like a rice dumpling by the Binding Vine, and smirked. "The Parallel World Project? More like a pipe dream. Parallel worlds? Sounds like someone hit their head too hard."
He didn’t have time to waste here; he needed to find the control center for the Parallel World Portal and shut it down before Nan Gong Xuan could cause any more trouble.
According to the "intelligence" provided by the Binding Vine—yes, this thing could even serve as a lie detector, making it an essential tool for home travel and kidnapping— the control center was located underground in this factory.
"Underground? Classic, but I like it. Villains always hide their lairs underground; it's a timeless rule that never seems to change. I wonder when that will update." Lin Yuan rubbed his hands together and kicked open a hidden door disguised as a Ventilation Duct in the floor. The door creaked in protest, as if objecting to Lin Yuan's roughness, but reluctantly swung open. Lin Yuan leaped down, leaving behind a remark, "Sorry, Brother, but it's my duty—I can't help it!"
Below was pitch black, so dark that he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face; it was thicker than the ink ejected by a Mola Mola.
"Playing mysterious? I'm a professional at this. When it comes to sneaky tactics, I’ve never been afraid of anyone." Lin Yuan pulled out his phone and turned on the flashlight feature, illuminating the path ahead. The beam sliced through the darkness like a sword.
A deep passage appeared before him, with cold metallic luster flickering on the walls, reminiscent of scenes from a Science Fiction Movie.
"This renovation style is just as tacky as Nan Gong Xuan’s taste—so ostentatious. It’s as if he’s afraid others won’t know he’s rich." Lin Yuan grumbled while advancing along the corridor, his footsteps echoing in the empty space.
Not far along, a heavy Metal Door loomed at the end of the passage, gleaming ominously; it looked formidable.
"Another door? Seems like Nan Gong Xuan has a thing for locks. Did he get locked out as a kid or something? Must have left him with some psychological scars." Lin Yuan chuckled and prepared to use his Melting Bone Soft Palm technique to open the door when suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from deep within the corridor. The sound was chaotic and heavy, like a pack of beasts charging forward.
"Not good; someone’s coming! Looks like Nan Gong Xuan was ready for this." Lin Yuan immediately became alert and concealed himself in the shadows, blending into the darkness.
Soon enough, five guards clad in black uniforms appeared at the end of the passage. Each one was burly and had sharp gazes; they were clearly elite trained personnel.
"Captain, do you really think that kid will show up?" asked one shorter guard, his voice tinged with doubt.
"Enough nonsense. The boss's orders can't be wrong. If the boss says he will come, he will definitely come. When has the boss ever missed?" The tall Guard at the front snorted coldly, his tone filled with confidence. "Everyone, stay alert. That kid is no pushover. I've heard he can use Time-Space Manipulation, which is quite strange."
"Yes!" the other Guards replied in unison, their voices loud and imposing.
These five were the elite Guard team of Nan Gong Xuan. Captain Tie Mian wore a serious expression and rarely smiled; member Xun Ying was slender and agile; Explosion was muscular and incredibly strong; Magneto had deep-set eyes and was skilled in magnetic control; and Phantom was taciturn, excelling in stealth and assassination.
"Five of them? This could be a bit tricky. Nan Gong Xuan really thinks highly of me to send so many people to deal with me," Lin Yuan thought as he hid in the shadows, quietly observing the five Guards and calculating his strategy.
Xun Ying moved with incredible speed, darting through the corridor like a gust of wind, dazzling to behold; Explosion possessed immense strength, capable of smashing a large hole in the wall with a single punch; Magneto could manipulate magnetic forces to interfere with electronic devices, making him a formidable opponent; and Phantom's expertise in stealth and assassination made him hard to defend against.
"This lineup is indeed luxurious. Nan Gong Xuan has really invested heavily to deal with me," Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.
However, he did not feel intimidated; instead, he became even more excited, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.
"It's been a while since I've stretched my muscles. Let's have some fun today. I'll show you what true Time-Space Manipulation looks like!" Lin Yuan smirked, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
Just as the Guards were about to reach Lin Yuan's hiding spot, he suddenly struck out with the swiftness of a hunting leopard.
"Time-Space Manipulation, activate!" Lin Yuan murmured under his breath, and instantly, time around him froze—everything stood still as if the pause button had been pressed.
He dashed like lightning toward Xun Ying and delivered a heavy punch right to his face, infused with powerful Time Manipulation capable of shattering steel.
"Bang!" With a muffled thud, Xun Ying had no time to react before being sent flying against the wall, collapsing unconscious like a heap of mud on the ground.
Lin Yuan approached Explosion once more, utilizing the Material Decomposition ability to disintegrate the energy sphere in his hand. The sphere burst like a popped balloon, vanishing into thin air.
"Boom!" Although the energy sphere had been dismantled, the energy in Explosion's hands suddenly erupted, resulting in a violent explosion that sent a shockwave sweeping through the entire corridor.
However, Explosion remained unscathed. The black uniform he wore seemed to possess a special protective function that shielded him from the impact of the blast.
"What?" Explosion looked at Lin Yuan in shock. "How could you... my energy sphere was actually destroyed by you..."
"Hehe, want to know how? Too bad you won't get the chance," Lin Yuan replied with a wicked smile. "Maybe in your next life! Just remember to choose a good family and stay away from that brat Nan Gong Xuan."
With that, he threw another punch, this time infused with even more powerful Time Manipulation, sending Explosion flying against the wall, where he collapsed unconscious, lying beside Xun Ying like two unfortunate brothers.
Having dealt with Xun Ying and Explosion, Lin Yuan turned his attention to Tie Mian and Magneto.
Tie Mian was battle-hardened and experienced, wielding his long knife with impressive skill; it was clear he was not an easy opponent. Magneto manipulated magnetic forces, combining offense and defense, making him an equally formidable adversary.
"Interesting," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "Let me see what you two are capable of. Don't let me down!"
He activated Time Manipulator again, pausing time once more and plunging everything around him into stillness.
This time, he did not rush to attack but instead carefully observed Tie Mian and Magneto's movements, searching for their weaknesses like a cheetah stalking its prey.
He noticed that while Tie Mian's attacks were fierce, they lacked variation and followed a relatively simple pattern. On the other hand, although Magneto's magnetic field was powerful, it required time to construct and had a limited range.
"I found it!" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, a plan already forming in his mind, and a confident smile crept onto his lips.
Time resumed its flow as Tie Mian and Magneto immediately launched their attacks on Lin Yuan, charging at him like two ferocious beasts pouncing on their prey.
Tie Mian swung his long knife, the blade flashing like a storm, each strike infused with a fierce killing intent aimed directly at Lin Yuan.
Magneto manipulated magnetic forces to disrupt Lin Yuan's movements, preventing him from dodging Tie Mian's assault while simultaneously constructing a powerful magnetic field to trap him.
"Child's play," Lin Yuan scoffed, using the Time Manipulator to evade Tie Mian's attack. Though the blade was sharp, it couldn't touch him at all.
In an instant, he appeared before Magneto and struck his chest with a palm infused with powerful Lingqi, enough to shatter internal organs.
"Poof!" Magneto spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, unconscious, his face pale and breath faint.
With Magneto dealt with, Lin Yuan turned his attention back to Tie Mian.
"Your turn," Lin Yuan said with a smile, his tone relaxed as if the previous battle had been nothing more than a game.
Tie Mian let out an angry roar and charged at Lin Yuan once more, his knife techniques becoming even more ferocious, as if he intended to tear Lin Yuan apart.
But this time, Lin Yuan had identified Tie Mian's weakness and no longer remained passive in evasion.
He used the Time Manipulator to dodge Tie Mian's attack and then delivered a punch to his abdomen, the force behind it infused with powerful Time Manipulation, capable of piercing through steel.
Tie Mian let out a cry as he was struck and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. He curled up, groaning in pain, completely incapacitated.
"You're the last one left, Ghost," Lin Yuan said, looking at the final Guard with a smirk, his tone laced with mockery.
The Ghost did not reveal himself; he remained hidden in the shadows, poised like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
"Want to play hide and seek?" Lin Yuan chuckled. "I’ll play along. Let’s see how long you can hide."
He activated the Time Manipulator, carefully sensing the surrounding Spiritual Energy Fluctuation to track the Ghost's whereabouts, like a hunter pursuing its prey, leaving no stone unturned.
Soon enough, he pinpointed the Ghost's hiding spot—a concealed corner where the Ghost lay in wait, ready to spring into action.
"I found you," Lin Yuan said with a triumphant smile.
In an instant, he teleported behind the Ghost and struck him on the back of the head with a palm infused with powerful Lingqi, enough to render anyone unconscious in an instant.
The Ghost let out a muffled groan before collapsing to the ground, motionless like a lifeless body.
Having dealt with all the Guards, Lin Yuan approached the Metal Door and effortlessly opened it. The heavy Metal Door felt as fragile as paper before him, yielding easily to his strength.
The control center lay ahead. Lin Yuan stepped inside, ready to face new challenges.
