Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Beauties (22)_1 Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Beauties (22)_1 “You… should… die!”
Overwhelming regret filled Suzune’s heart.
Realizing this Man-Eater Demon was a Transcendent all along was like pouring gasoline on her raging fire.
Never before had Suzune so desperately wanted to tear the person before her into a thousand pieces.
“The taste is that bad?”
The very next moment, a somewhat disappointed voice came from beneath the mask, as Fu Qian looked down at the soup in the bowl.
“What a pity, I was actually quite proud of it.”
Before he finished speaking, he twisted his upper body, dodging a cold glint aimed at his chest.
It was evident that Suzune had no intention of wasting words with him.
After she threw the second dagger, her figure flashed, and she was already charging forward.
Between her spread fingers were blades sharp as knives.
Without a doubt, this was an agile fighter, whose combat style felt eerily familiar.
But obviously, Suzune was much stronger than Young Master Ye’s little female follower.
Facing such fierce murderous intent, Fu Qian’s response was remarkably decisive.
Without waiting for Suzune to reach him, he turned tail and ran.
Taking into account that the entrance was blocked by her, Fu Qian made several swift moves and was already running towards one of the rooms.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
This speedy escape once again proved that the man before her was indeed a genuine Transcendent.
Naturally, Suzune wouldn’t let him get away, and she pursued without hesitation.
In the midst of a loud crash, the door that Fu Qian had hastily shut was kicked flying.
At this moment, Suzune surprisingly showed a rare professional side, not rushing in immediately.
A hidden Transcendent in his own territory, putting up a desperate fight.
The utmost caution was warranted.
However, after cautiously observing for two seconds, Suzune suddenly frowned and stepped forward.
The room was empty; there was no trace of the Man-Eater Demon anywhere.
At the same time, a slanted passage in the middle of the room caught her gaze.
The passage wasn’t very wide and it was unclear where it led; it appeared endless, a dark void at first glance.
This…
Suzune was in a sudden panic.
Who could have expected a secret passage in such a room?
It must have been the man’s escape route, prepared in advance.
She couldn’t afford to delay any longer, or the target might soon get far away.
With that thought, Suzune hesitated no more and dashed down the passage.
…
What the hell is this place!
Visibility was astonishingly low inside the passage, and as Suzune chased on, fear grew within her.
Her senses told her she had chased quite a distance, yet the passage seemed endless.
At the same time, with nothing identifiable on either side of the passage, one could easily feel disoriented, unsure if they were even moving forward.
The more she pursued, the more hesitant she grew, just when she was contemplating finding another route, Suzune suddenly saw a slight light up ahead.
In a space that had opened up quite a bit, several rectangular stone platforms were faintly visible.
And there, beside one of the stone platforms, stood the Man-Eater Demon with a turkey head mask.
“Do we really have to do this?”
Incredibly, he had stopped running and just stood there, shaking his head while speaking.
At this point, Suzune had no words to waste. With unwavering steps, she closed the distance swiftly and slyly flicked her right hand.
Amidst the barely audible sound of slicing air, her fingernail blades traced several arcs, instantly enveloping Fu Qian.
The greater her killing intent boiled, the calmer Suzune became.
She did not believe that this cunning, brutal Man-Eater Demon had stopped just to ask her a pointless question.
Considering the risk of traps, she opted for a remote attack.
It must be said that this unforeseeable attack was remarkably effective.
Although the other party was as fast as a ghost, their reaction was clearly a beat too slow when it came to responding.
Amidst the spray of blood, Fu Qian’s neck had already been sliced by a blade, and at the same time, another had deeply embedded itself in his thigh.
Having landed a successful blow, Suzune’s spirits lifted, and she was about to press her advantage when she suddenly sensed something was off.
A reflexive roll to the ground was followed by the sound of something hitting the earth, and at the same time, half her body felt a piercing pain.
“Nice moves!”
In the next moment, the injured Fu Qian voiced his admiration.
With a clang, he forcefully pulled the blade from his thigh and casually tossed it aside.
“It’s just too bad, I’ve got them too.”
Fu Qian pointed at his head.
…
It was then that Suzune noticed the densely packed tubes above her head, all of which were aimed in her direction.
What had wounded her were several sharp long needles.
Under normal circumstances, such an attack would have been easily avoidable.
However, the noise it made had been masked by the sounds of her own attacks…
“You really are a troublesome opponent.”
Staring at Fu Qian, Suzune imitated him, pulling out the needles that had embedded in her flesh one by one.
“It’s a pity, though, it looks like you’ve been injured a bit more seriously.”
“Is that… so?”
Fu Qian glanced down at his thigh, now stained red with blood.
“So… Hurk!”
Just as he was about to say something, Suzune suddenly realized something was wrong. Focusing on the spots where she had been pricked, one side of her body was quickly becoming unresponsive.
“Why is this happening!”
“It’s an anesthetic, I’ve added an anesthetic.”
Fu Qian nodded, advancing two steps and looking down at the Night Watchman who had nearly lost the ability to move.
“Actually, you should have agreed to my suggestion just now, there was no need–”
Before he could finish, Fu Qian seemed to realize something, looking down at his own hand.
From the base of the thumb, a line of blood was crossing the wrist obliquely.
Plunk!
The next moment, the entire palm fell along the line of blood, dropping straight to the ground.
At the same time, a dozen intersecting lines of blood appeared, covering his entire body.
“I’m not the only one with a backup plan.”
Struggling to keep from falling, Suzune held up the half of the blade she was clenching.
Unlike the others, this blade–its material indescribable and nearly translucent–was now quickly losing its luster, obviously a one-time use item.
“This is a very precious talisman, I never thought I’d use it today.”
“But considering your actions, I believe it was worth it.”
As Suzune spoke, the corpse in front of her finally couldn’t hold together anymore and collapsed into a heap with a clatter.
“I really don’t know how those people eat, allowing you to hide for so long…”
Suzune stopped speaking abruptly.
Because in her line of sight, the first hand that had fallen to the ground was now on its fingers and had swiftly scurried into the darkness.
And it wasn’t just the hand; other fragments of the body also began to move in various ways, scattering in all directions.
This…
Suzune involuntarily inhaled sharply, then suddenly realized something.
“This isn’t real, is it a psychic disruption?”
