Chapter 1636: Chapter 1631: Not Polite Enough
It’s said that low temperature helps to enhance performance, and amidst the biting frost, the group’s performance seed to prove this point.
With an elegant and composed gesture completed, Fu Qian returned his head to its original position, and it was evident they had thought of sothing.
“Evil On!”
Sure enough, the first to speak out was still the ever-alert Hao Ke.
Uncontrolled in volu, he even involuntarily took half a step back, refraining from stepping forward to check the injury.
In fact, it seed unnecessary.
The ice spear, though exceptionally terrifying, clearly didn’t aim at the vitals; it rely grazed past Qiu’s shoulder.
Nevertheless, even so, the nearby area was still tinged with frost, montarily losing mobility amidst the crystalline brilliance.
“Those who offend the Divine Beings’ Believers shall be beheaded…”
And Qiu, whom he subconsciously distanced from, was almost muttering slightly slower.
Holding onto the frozen spot with another hand, Qiu repeated a phrase from mory, successfully activating the mories of others.
“Are you implying, my lord, that the ability used to kill on the day of the Evil On has appeared on Qiu?”
In this suddenly changing situation, even the usually composed Proper Brother looked at Fu Qian with a questioning look.
“Indeed, quick reaction.”
Though still adjusting his neck’s angle slightly, seemingly aiming for perfect alignnt, it didn’t delay Fu Qian from affirming their judgnt.
“But not courteous enough.”
However, before his words were finished, seemingly reaching perfection, Fu Qian once again raised his hand, and another ice spear whooshed out.
“Tangs—”
Undoubtedly, this action triggered screams again.
The disheveled-haired one reacted almost the fastest, shouting towards Proper Brother.
Alas, at such a close range, that was already the limit.
With astonishing swiftness in the twist, Proper Brother, still in shock, was solidly hit and flung backward.
This strike was no longer a feint, but aid directly at the chest.
…
“I’m… fine!”
Yet, Tangs, whose real na it appeared to be, showcased remarkable resilience, rolling to support his upper body the instant he landed, reporting himself safe.
Although his voice was not very convincing.
A glance showed not only half of his body was frosted, but even his cheek bore scars from shattered Ice Crystal.
However, at least no hole was punctured through his chest.
Under his control, the three teammates stood firmly in place instantly.
Amidst the nurous gazes filled with shock and anger, Lord Grimshaw remained casual, as if the earlier sudden attack had nothing to do with him.
“Sorry, it was impolite of to speculate just now.”
Even more exaggeratedly, Tangs, having caught his breath a bit more, actually hurried to apologize.
Clap!
And the next mont, he even reached into the torn coat, taking out a thin piece with oily paint, throwing it on the ground.
Small and exquisite spindle-shaped, it looked like so creature’s scales, but now its smooth surface bore clear cracks.
It was this thing that blocked the blow, helping him avoid the fate of a pierced heart—of course with the attacker’s cooperation.
Both the apology and the actions proved Tangs fully understood this.
At such a close range, if one genuinely wanted to kill, aiming at the head would be simpler.
It was a well-chosen protected position, and even the force was perfectly blocked.
Instead of believing in luck, anyone slightly less naive would know the likelihood of deliberate cooperation was greater.
This was a warning regarding his earlier question.
“Because the previous incident was very secretive, when Your Excellency ntioned the beheading penalty, my subconscious reaction was that Your Excellency was there at that ti too.”
Breathing smoothly now, Tangs spoke faster than ever, directly confessing his mindset.
“Sorry for being so impolite in receiving Your Excellency’s guidance, even offending in such a rude manner.”
“No offense, just impoliteness.”
However, his sincere apology was again corrected by the victim, Fu Qian, shaking his head slightly as he spoke.
“Because you’re wasting ti.”
…
The reason for action is generally sothing not very credible.
Yet, Lord Grimshaw’s behavior from the beginning till now brought an undeniable persuasion.
Amidst exchanged glances, Hao Ke and the others quickly grasped the previous events from the dialogue between the two and their originally agitated emotions turned into silence.
Upon realizing the potential anomaly related to Evil On on Qiu, Tangs seed to casually ask a question, which, upon closer thought, clearly carried an intent to probe.
As it was an incident strictly restricted in circulation, if the other side naturally continued, one would inevitably suspect his presence at the scene then, leading to endless conjecture.
Lord Grimshaw, evidently realizing his intent imdiately, neither displeased nor defensive, chose to remind of the current priorities directly through actions.
The height of such a posture, upon thoughtful consideration, was quite terrifying.
Yet, precisely such a posture made his targeted actions towards “the shadow” seem reasonable.
This wasn’t an average Transcendent by far, obviously knowing too much of unknown matters.
It appeared rather naive to deduce why he seed familiar with the previous incident using ordinary logic.
The only correct way to deal with him seed to convey one’s value honestly.
Especially in such a bizarre situation.
“So the truth is, for incomprehensible reasons, I possess sothing called Sacred Law protection similar to the Evil On?”
Amidst the group whose state of mind had reached sublimation, it was Qiu, slightly calr emotionally, who first spoke.
“And You Li triggered it, so she—”
Watching her friend, head and body separate, her face remained as pale as paper.
“Yes, just like with earlier.”
The possibility she found extrely hard to accept instantly received confirmation from Fu Qian, who even gestured to his own neck.
A layer of fine Ice Crystal covered beyond a faint red mark.
Just like the head neatly taken off earlier, now frozen again with precision, and completely unaffected in function.
“But why would You Li attack … I can’t think of a reason.”
Although the fact was right in front of her, Qiu, truly unwilling to believe, still sought doubts instinctively.
“Plus, there were two people at the scene, and the other seed even more unlikely.”
“Even if, taking a step back, they were indeed killed because of , even simultaneously… it still doesn’t explain the initial question, which is why I completely didn’t notice, even naturally left?”
