Chapter 748: Chapter 746: The Curse of Shattering (Part 5)_1 Chapter 748: Chapter 746: The Curse of Shattering (Part 5)_1 The farce, essentially sparked by Fu Qian, quickly drew to a close.
“Professor Ni, if you don’t trust President Cass’s judgnt, you are at complete liberty to verify it again using your own thods, I’m sure no one would object,”
After berating the two of them, the female instructor from the Swordsmanship Departnt cast her gaze over everyone’s faces before making the suggestion.
Hmph!
Ni Huayuan imdiately took the opportunity to descend the slope and stepped forward under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
One way or another, the deadlock was finally broken.
“Do you mind if I take a look?”
Approaching the body on the ground, Ni Huayuan glanced at Kamakura Si.
“Thank you for your trouble, Professor Ni.”
Kamakura Si hesitated for just a second before indicating for Ni Huayuan to proceed at his convenience.
In Fu Qian’s eyes, even that second was rely for the sake of performance.
What could be rejected at this point?
Professor Ni’s words were rely a pretense to show humility.
That’s the tragedy of the weak, choosing to seek help from others when faced with threats they cannot resist, and seldom does such assistance co without a price.
Although so paynts are more subtle, like being used as free observational material.
“Thank you.”
As if striving to distance himself from unsavory characters like Cass, Ni Huayuan still graciously offered his thanks before lifting the cloth covering the body.
It was a uniquely designed hooded robe which Kamakura Guizhi had removed from himself to wrap around his grandfather’s riddled body.
The ghastly face of the corpse was revealed, prompting a few sobs.
After a silent examination, Ni Huayuan extended his hand and sared a bit of blood from the wound.
The color was dark red, yet it showed no signs of coagulation.
The next mont, as he rubbed his two fingers together, the blood began to vaporize and boil, diffusing outward and instantly forming a puff of red mist.
This cloud of red mist rose midair, stayed condensed, and quickly took on a humanoid silhouette.
The next mont, the red figure began to move.
Its arms clung tightly to its body. The original posture of kneeling and looking upward swiftly crumbled, and one could see it tremble uncontrollably.
Although the form was blurred, the pain could still be imagined.
The trembling continued for about ten seconds before the figure finally collapsed with a crash, slowly becoming motionless.
Was this a reenactnt of death?
Fu Qian watched with great interest from the side.
After all, having bested their players, he had done his howork on the Divine Ashes Institute of the Academy.
Compared to Heaven’s Comncent Institute, they focus more on the spiritual aspect and have a multitude of thods.
Witnessing these thods first-hand today, the reputation was indeed well-deserved.
The scene before him even seed sowhat spiritualist, although it was very rudintary.
The entire process involved only a bit of the deceased’s postures, with no other elents visible, nor any way to communicate.
Even so, judging from the reaction of the surrounding audience, it undoubtedly caused a profound shock; such thods must be rare.
Moreover, regardless, compared to Cass’s more abstract ans, this could be considered straightforward and understandable.
Even the grief and anger of the Kamakura family seed to lessen slightly.
Although vague, it was clear to see that the deceased had not suffered any external harm and had fallen piece by piece on their own.
If one still insisted it was foul play, one could only suspect poisoning.
In the quiet air, even Ni Huayuan fell silent for a mont.
“The Divine Ashes Institute truly has a plethora of thods.”
At that mont, Cass chid in with tily amazent.
“I wonder what conclusions you have drawn, Professor Ni? Could you interpret this for us?”
Quite a sentintal person too!
This blatant act of fanning the flas elicited a burst of admiration from Fu Qian.
“The president of Heaven’s Comncent Institute certainly has a different style from Li Weixuan and the others,” he mused.
With such leadership, it was no doubt one of the reasons why the research culture at Heaven’s Comncent Institute was so lively.
“It seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Yun indeed,” soone concluded.
Not wanting to let the two of them start arguing again, the female instructor tily made a summary and turned to Kamakura Si.
“Shall we head back now that we’ve found the person? Ti is precious.”
“Yes.”
Kamakura Si imdiately agreed, evidently seeing the point.
After all, the person was already dead; dwelling on the cause of death was no more important than the living.
For every second they delayed, the risk of everyone eting the sa fate increased increntally.
In fact, he had even begun to fear subconsciously that if it turned out that this newly advanced Demigod was the killer, what they would do to handle the situation.
…
The group was now on a mountain full of huge white boulders.
Near the gate where the three had erged, they could see so uniquely shaped stone huts, which may have once been the Tomb Guardians’ residences.
Of course, there was no doubt they had long been abandoned.
The current Tomb Guardians of the Kamakura Family, on the other hand, had greatly improved working environnts.
As a special guest, Fu Qian joined the Academy’s team under the scrutinizing eyes of its mbers, and following Kamakura Si, they soon reached the grand courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
It seed that the Academy’s team had only just arrived; the first thing Kamakura Si did was to arrange accommodations for the research teams, treating Fu Qian with the sa courtesy, seemingly afraid that the group would only take a quick look and then leave.
This palpable sense of desperation!
Overall, the Transcendents of the Kamakura Family were still very easy to identify: you just had to check for any bloodstains on their bodies.
And their numbers were even more abundant than described: just among those around Kamakura Guizhi’s age, Fu Qian noticed several people of the sa style, whose ranks were all quite strong.
For a regular Transcendent family, this would obviously be a good thing.
Unfortunately, at this mont, the anomaly had turned this gift into a curse in an instant.
As they walked along, nearly everyone had more or less bloodstains on their clothing.
At a glance, it was as if half a herd of lambs had been slaughtered.
In comparison, Kamakura Guizhi was already on the better end of the spectrum.
…
“Mr. Yun, what’s your take on the Kamakura Family’s issue?”
Possibly because of previous enjoynt from seeing Ni Huayuan embarrassed, President Cass seed to hold Fu Qian in high regard, becoming the only one willing to strike up a conversation with him.
If I knew what to think, we would have proceeded to the next stage by now, Fu Qian sighed inwardly.
However, the Kamakura Family’s situation was indeed sowhat unique.
According to the mission briefing, as “Cursed” Swordsn, they would cause continuous splitting wounds on their opponent’s body even if their strikes did not connect, a trait deed eerie and difficult to deal with.
Now the situation looked very much like a backlash of power.
The question was, why the backlash? He needed to find the reason himself.
“Unable to confirm,” Fu Qian responded, shaking his head sincerely.
“Their power is too unique; in fact, it’s debatable whether this can even be considered Sword Dao.”
“A true Sword Path Demigod,” Cass acknowledged, showing approval of Fu Qian’s assessnt.
“The Swordsmanship Departnt also holds similar views regarding the nature of the Kamakura Family’s Cursed Swordsmanship. If it were not so, they would have been leading the team.”
As they spoke, they looked up to see Kamakura Si hurrying over.
“President Cass, soone else has just fallen,” he reported.
