Chapter 860: Chapter 858: Ignition (32) Chapter 860: Chapter 858: Ignition (32) This is…
The sight before him unequivocally brought Aike a considerable shock.
Especially when that giant black tongue started to trickle out of the stone coffin, little by little.
And when the base of the tongue beca visible, the space beside the Demigod Puppet twisted and Old Master Xiung arrived quite decisively, his expression solemn.
“How could this be?”
He looked over the gradation of bright yellow gold and uttered a sense of déjà vu.
“How can there be flas that simply exist? And so many of them…”
In the middle of his wonder, he couldn’t help but glance towards Fu Qian.
“So you really weren’t lying!”
“So you actually thought I was lying?”
Fu Qian replied, feigning surprise.
“Then why did you still follow here?”
…
This question was indeed difficult to answer, but luckily Old Master Xiung soon realized he did not need to.
The familiar scene appeared on the surface of the giant black tongue.
Rapidly swelling blisters burst open, tearing into black fog-like ghosts that instantly locked onto everyone.
Even with the multitude of people, the number of ghosts seed to have increased.
“Take action.”
In this situation, Xiung only took half a second to confirm his strategy and said coldly.
“They are special entities, but not entirely invincible.”
Clearly, he had a sober understanding of the “Saint’s” ranking.
But alas, the fire was too tempting, and compared to the gains and risks of hunting a demigod, it was hard to let go.
After issuing the order, Xiung’s figure flickered, easily evading the attacking ghosts and naturally turned to look at Fu Qian.
The latter had just dodged an attack between two ghosts.
“Mr. Andiel, thank you for the information. You can leave now; it’s quite dangerous here.”
The next second, Xiung’s tone was bland as he took the initiative to suggest.
“No worries, I can handle it.”
Once more dodging an assault by a humanoid ghost, Fu Qian replied calmly, declining his kindness.
With the experience he had gained, he now observed the ghosts’ movents very closely.
Without comparison, there would be no harm perceived.
It was evident that the attacks the others faced were far less tricky than those directed at himself.
Specifically, the ghosts had beco fools chasing blindly, no longer possessing the prescience to await at one’s landing spot.
The Fla Blessing indeed allowed him to maintain independence, of this, there was no doubt.
But the problem was that he had failed when he tried this before, aning he couldn’t enter into such an absolute state of independence, otherwise, he would lose the possibility of completing the mission?
This really was a bit challenging to the imagination.
“You might not have understood my aning.”
As Fu Qian pondered, Xiung’s voice sounded again, his smile strange.
“I said the danger doesn’t co from these things, but from us.”
He pointed at himself, speaking coldly.
“Our actions can’t afford any unpredictability, and I’m sorry but you are not trustworthy enough. So, if you insist on staying here, you will have to be dealt with.”
“I understand.”
Regrettably, faced with this cold threat, Fu Qian seed not the least bit surprised.
“I didn’t say I could handle it?”
“At such a pleasant mont, how could I possibly miss it? Don’t be polite, please feel free to do as you wish.”
“I’m just showing you the way; you never promised you wouldn’t kill .”
This guy is really insane!
Fu Qian’s reaction undoubtedly deeply shocked the Hunting Squad.
Not only was Xiung’s expression stiff, but Aike, caught off guard, even had her arm caught by Ghosts.
Ah~
Amidst the cries of alarm, although Aike imdiately distanced herself, the traces of Fla Blessing on her body had drastically faded to almost invisible.
“Continue!”
Witnessing this scene, Xiung growled lowly, and a Magma-like talisman was thrown from his hand.
It was evident that he had even deliberately chosen an angle far away from Fu Qian, fearing interference or theft.
What he didn’t know was that even if he had thrown the talisman directly at them, Fu Qian’s first reaction would have been to dodge imdiately.
“Good.”
Aike caught it successfully without a reminder and imdiately crushed it.
In the next mont, her Fla Blessing blazed bright again, and she subconsciously locked onto Fu Qian, waiting for Xiung’s command.
Stoss, always too lazy for idle talk, had the sa reaction.
…
Regrettably, just as tensions reached a breaking point, Old Master Xiung showed a mont of hesitation.
In theory, this guy nad Andiel was, at most, a Demigod, and their side had two Divine Envoys, a clear advantage.
However, this man’s composure was so profound that it made one doubt oneself.
At the sa ti, from the mont he appeared, his antisocial behavior was so fervent and sincere that it theoretically posed no conflict with the Squad’s objectives…
Besides, with precious ti at stake, if they tried to force a kill and sothing uncontrollable occurred, the loss would outweigh the gain…
“Don’t be distracted.”
In the midst of his indecision, Xiung even received a reminder from this man who was about to die.
Following the direction Fu Qian pointed, they could see Ghosts still pouring out frantically.
“Leave this guy alone… I’ll keep an eye on him.”
Amidst the flaming chaos, history repeated itself the next mont as Xiung once again accepted Fu Qian’s role as an audience mber.
The Hunting Team coordinated seamlessly, and even if they were puzzled by Xiung’s decision, as soon as he spoke, both Stoss and Aike turned their weapons without hesitation and began fighting the humanoid Ghosts before them.
The most ruthless of all was Old Master Stoss.
The Magma Whip that he once used against Fu Qian now revealed its divine power. Against the Ghosts whose speed had drastically reduced under Xiung’s restraint, it wiped out swathes of them with each sweep.
Where it passed, they dissipated instantly.
Aike was no less efficient, her rcury Short Sword creating a glow in mid-air that far exceeded its own length, also swiftly tearing through the targets.
Of course, the unspoken agreent that everyone had was to utterly ignore the Ghosts entangling Fu Qian.
Leaving him a bit more trouble and reducing his chance to cause mayhem.
Professional!
Although the Ghosts were tenacious in their pursuit, against the Hunting Squad’s response and execution, Fu Qian still expressed his sincere admiration.
At the sa ti, he looked forward with great anticipation to Old Master Stoss.
The latter had already put away his whip and, without hesitation, crushed a Fla talisman, clearly preparing for a powerful strike.
As Fu Qian had predicted, in the next mont, that searingly white speck that had once caused him endless pain appeared again in Stoss’s hand.
And as it ford, the speck already locked onto the sarcophagus at the center of the great hall, drifting towards it seemingly slowly but actually quickly.
The black behemoth, marked by Fla Blessing, was visibly sluggish.
Almost without any decent attempt to dodge, it was instantly struck.
