Chapter 844: Chapter 842: Ignition (16) (Additional chapter 3/5 for the Bai Yin alliance “Jayquent”) Chapter 844: Chapter 842: Ignition (16) (Additional chapter 3/5 for the Bai Yin alliance “Jayquent”) “Indeed, the benefit of this place is that there are enough Demigods.”
Xiung affird Fu Qian’s speculation that he only kills Demigods.
“Additionally, this hunt isn’t overly cruel since they don’t truly die.”
Fu Qian nodded slightly, noting the thorough understanding of the Unseen Hillock by his companions.
“Pity they don’t see it that way, at least from what I understand, most of them don’t want to experience the feeling of death.”
“Except for the one you’ve used.”
Aike scoffed and pointed towards the Clown at his side.
The latter was still prostrate, his body twisted in an unnatural way, as though he had lost control.
But even so, his throat continued to emit bursts of distorted laughter.
“What do you an ‘used’? Our exchange has been quite honest, okay?”
Fu Qian hmphed, clearly begrudged.
“That talisman just now, is it the spoils of this trip?”
“Correct, in fact, it’s incredibly precious, and I didn’t want to waste it on this,”
“Sorry for your expense.”
Fu Qian’s apology sounded insincere.
“One must look on the bright side of things; at least there’s no more waste.”
“So, we’re… happy to cooperate?”
Fu Qian raised his glass aningfully, seeking confirmation with a questioning gaze from the three people.
“…Happy to cooperate.”
Staring at each other, the Hunting Squad seed hesitant until Xiung was the first to respond, signaling Aike to pour him a glass.
Seeing this, Aike and Stoss also reluctantly raised their glasses.
“May we all achieve our goals on this journey.”
With a crisp sound, Fu Qian uttered so vapid words,
which contrasted with the surreal atmosphere of clinking glasses, one might think a company was hosting a team-building event if they didn’t know better.
Wait, was the mood becoming too harmonious?
The next mont, Fu Qian sensed sothing off—the harmony was extre, even the Clown’s strange laugh had stopped.
And with this thought, a storm of madness began swirling in his head.
…
“Your sincerity is received, but sadly, you know too little about this place.”
Xiung’s voice followed.
“You can’t truly believe that the trap’s only function was to set a mark?”
As his words entered his ears, Fu Qian’s abruptly chaotic consciousness still reflected the surroundings clearly—
The Demigod Puppet shaped like a wall had silently closed in, blocking the way back…
His right leg suddenly beca numb, like a piece of wood—if he rembered right, it was near where Aike stood…
Xiung’s fingers pressed against the Void as if pulling on so invisible strings…
Boom!
And as he moved, it was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded within Fu Qian’s mind, the madness in his will beca more chaotic, teetering on the edge.
Indeed, this was teamwork, the coordination was spot on.
Beneath the silky smooth combination moves, Fu Qian still didn’t forget to exclaim in admiration.
The situation had beco very obvious. The Clown suddenly ca to his senses, and then it was as though he switched ntal states with Fu Qian, who began to act insane without any reason.
The markings that Xiung had applied, apart from the inescapable tracking effect, seed to be able to exchange the will states of the affected units.
And the entire bar had been within the range of the marking, not just Fu Qian himself.
He had first pretended to accept Fu Qian’s joining, and then at the most unexpected mont launched an ambush, transferring the torture ant for the Clown onto Fu Qian.
And he had even used so ans to amplify it.
anwhile, Aike coordinated by ddling with Fu Qian’s leg.
Of course, all these asures were to restrict Fu Qian’s movents in preparation for the real lethal move.
The next mont, Fu Qian saw Stoss crushing a familiar talisman in his other hand.
And amidst the intangible turmoil, the glass in his right hand had vanished without a trace, replaced by a white-hot point of light, like a small sun compressed to the extre.
Although it didn’t look very impressive, Fu Qian realized imdiately that the terrifying lethality contained within was on an entirely different level from the technique used during their first encounter.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, almost instantaneously the point of light drifted towards his hand.
There was absolutely no chance given!
Amidst his realization, faced with what could only be described as a dire situation, Fu Qian initiated Blood Conquest for the third ti.
Blood mist churned, and once again the reality before his eyes beca overlaid with hallucination.
Fu Qian watched helplessly as a bit of white-hot light pierced through all of it, landing on his hand.
Indeed, Xiung hadn’t relied solely on the induced frenzied state to completely rob Fu Qian of his ability to resist.
Most likely, due to the effect of the marking, Stoss’s killing move, under his guidance, would lock onto Fu Qian no matter where he went.
A perfect killing scenario; these high-ranking Night Watchn indeed were not idle in their posts.
While admiring, Fu Qian’s ring sunk into his flesh and quickly moved, as the right hand that had been hit began to disintegrate.
Even in this illusory other dinsion, Fu Qian thought he could hear the sound of bursting flas.
And the next mont, watching his hand rapidly turn to ash, Fu Qian did not hesitate to tear his right arm off from the shoulder.
Unfortunately, after the right hand that had fallen was engulfed by the flas, scorched marks appeared once again on the stump of his shoulder, with the flesh turning to ash.
A move considered a killing thod by this team was indeed not simple.
It seed that what was being targeted was not rely his physical body but his very concept of existence, relentlessly pursuing him until death.
That Divine Envoy Stoss was like a harbinger of an all-consuming Curse, allowing destruction to spread along the connections of existence toward him.
Physical separation had no aning whatsoever.
Fortunately for Fu Qian, he had not relied on such a clever trick to be effective.
Everyone has their limits of perception, especially in such an unfamiliar place, and compared to Fu Qian, Xiung clearly knew far more.
Therefore, even seemingly sufficient reasons for cooperation were rely probes in nature.
His sole purpose for this trip was to seize this opportunity to gather as much valuable information as possible.
With Xiung and his party’s style, the mont Fu Qian showed up, he had to be prepared for a confrontation.
Thus, although the ambush just now was spectacular, it wasn’t much of a surprise for Fu Qian.
In fact, if he wanted, he could have activated Pseudo-Divine Being right from the start, rendering Xiung’s ntal constraints completely ineffective.
But that would an spending ten SAN Points, and Fu Qian was not ready to waste them.
Even now, he still didn’t want to waste them.
Witnessing his body being rapidly incinerated, the next mont Fu Qian’s left arm swell dramatically, and he actually pulled yet another version of himself free.
Of course, rely changing his form was still not enough to solve the problem of Stoss’s thods, but fortunately for Fu Qian, he hadn’t planned to rely on that for a solution.
The next mont, a large maw ripped open in the chest of his newly extracted body, lined with sharp teeth, which voraciously swallowed his half-burnt, disintegrating torso.
