Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Wasteland (24)_1 Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Wasteland (24)_1 “You’ve lost your mind!”
In the midst of gunfire, Sybil’s sigh could be heard.
It must be said, the assessment was quite accurate.
The contrast in Fu Qian’s actions just now was undoubtedly huge.
One moment he was earnestly analyzing exploration results, the next he pulled out a gun and shot someone in the head.
Unfortunately for a demigod, a handgun, even fired point-blank, is not that terrifying.
While Sybil was caught off guard by Fu Qian’s behavior and couldn’t dodge in time, when the bullet hit her, layers of water-like ripples instantly appeared on her face.
These folds were much tougher than they looked, the precious special bullet only penetrated a short distance before losing its momentum and stopping.
From the torn wound, one could see strands of blue liquid seeping out.
Even though Sybil’s entire face resembled spiny skin, her voice remained unchanged, and she didn’t launch a counterattack. Instead, she sighed and watched Fu Qian.
“Seeking your own death!”
Because of his current state, Kelson on the side was not so calm, and after a brief moment of being stunned, he let out a furious roar.
In an instant, a twisted thunderbolt formed in his hand, turning the surroundings a blinding white.
“I am indeed looking for a way, so I should thank you for your help.”
Facing off against two powerful demigods alone, Fu Qian showed no intention of running and spoke with an unnerving calmness.
After speaking, he turned the gun towards Kelson and raised his right hand.
“Look over here.”
The demigods’ gazes were naturally drawn to him, only to discover that at some point, Fu Qian had a crystal-clear bell in his hand.
Ding dong!
Before the two could ponder what it was, Fu Qian had already lightly shaken the bell.
The effect of the Eternal Clarity Mind got activated, and a miracle warped the nearby laws.
In the ethereal ting of the bell, the flashing lightning in Kelson’s hand instantly dissipated.
“What’s going on—”
Fear and astonishment clearly laced Kelson’s voice, but it was cut off by the sound of gunfire.
In the glow of the gunshots, the spinning bullet, trailing silver light, tore through half of his face.
With transcendent abilities forbidden, the bullet’s force could no longer be ignored.
But the physical strength of a demigod’s body was still fundamentally enhanced.
Even without the special state that had protected Sybil, Kelson’s face could only withstand so much; the bullet shattered his facial bone and went no further.
Regrettably, Fu Qian had no intention of letting him off. Facing Kelson who had been knocked down by the bullet’s impact, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, aiming right at the wound.
The skull, already riddled with cracks, couldn’t withstand this shot.
“Stop!”
Sybil finally reacted, attempting to save her colleague from the madman.
However, she was shocked to discover that many of her abilities had been restricted under the sound of that bell, including the ripples on her face that had also dissipated.
If she were the target, she would be similarly doomed.
As this realization dawned on her, even as steadfast as a Saint, Sybil still felt an emotion called despair.
Thump!
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
A shriveled arm suddenly appeared in front of Kelson.
Fu Qian’s third bullet tore through her palm in an instant, but ultimately did not penetrate through.
It was the Angelic Corpse kneeling on the ground, blocking the fatal shot for Kelson!
Interesting!
There were still bullets in the gun, but Fu Qian didn’t fire again. He just quietly watched the suddenly appearing roadblock, allowing Kelson to roll and scramble away.
The corpse had originally been kneeling there and, in fact, even now, its legs were still pinned down.
To accomplish the act of saving someone, its entire upper body had been twisted out of shape.
In its sunken eye sockets were murky eyeballs, staring straight at him.
Feeling compassion, even though it was already dead, not bearing to see someone hanging in front of it?
Fu Qian naturally didn’t believe such a thing.
About three seconds remained.
Silently calculating the time, Fu Qian skirted around the blocking corpse and chased after the fleeing Kelson.
The latter was clearly in a state of extreme panic, constantly rubbing a ring on his hand while running, presumably his life-saving artifact.
Unfortunately, it didn’t respond at all.
Under the influence of the Eternal Clarity Mind, as a magic-based player, he was affected much more than Fu Qian.
This incomprehensible situation let fear spread uncontrollably, severely impacting Kelson’s mind, nearly causing him to lose the ability to think.
And without a moment’s respite, Fu Qian’s deadly footsteps had already caught up.
Facing Kelson, who hadn’t completely stood up, Fu Qian stepped down without hesitation.
However, at that very moment, a strong sense of danger came from behind.
In the corner of Fu Qian’s eye, a ray of pure white light filled with a holy aura was blossoming from the corpse locked in place.
Was it actually this person who broke free of the constraints first?
This undoubted Transcendent ability almost confirmed that among those present, the rank of this corpse was the highest.
And if he continued with this stomp, Kelson would certainly be smashed to a pulp, and he would inevitably be affected as well.
With this thought, Fu Qian hastily withdrew his foot and dodged.
In the next moment, the pure white ray passed through where he had been standing, flying a great distance before dissipating into ethereal feathers.
Almost simultaneously, Fu Qian looked up towards a certain spot.
Found you!
Without turning back to trouble the corpse, and without continuing to attempt to kill Kelson, Fu Qian leaped up and rushed towards the door with unbelievable speed.
And in the next instant, a translucent figure suddenly peeled off from the black door, turning into a streak of light and fleeing outwards.
Quick reflexes, but as a top-tier operative, you think it’s that easy to shake me off?
Fu Qian snorted, his feet not stopping.
Killing Kelson and Sybil wasn’t something that urgently needed to be done.
And all of Fu Qian’s actions just now weren’t the result of sudden bloodlust.
He had only one purpose, which was to create the situation where both Demigods appeared to be on the verge of death.
The reason for this was because there was one thing Fu Qian found very strange—the timing of the beam’s appearance was too coincidental!
While it could be understood that Kelson and Sybil’s earlier conflict inadvertently triggered a mechanism.
But could there be another possibility, that someone wanted to attract attention, to disrupt the conflict, not wishing for Sybil to truly die at Kelson’s hands?
Someone didn’t want them dead.
If that were the case, someone must be lurking around.
And Fu Qian wanted to verify this possibility, hence the three shots that followed.
And the result was surprising.
Just when Kelson was in dire straits, a corpse had actually saved him again.
