Chapter 1214 - 1212: Night Holy City’s Bamboo Stick Insect (20)

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1212: Night Holy City’s Bamboo Stick Insect (20)

Who would have thought, who would have thought, such a diligent and promising young man like yourself has also followed in Chief Yuan’s footsteps, visiting a place of such frivolity and debauchery!

The sharp blade’s deadly strike, in the end, failed to hit its target.

Because at the same time, Fu Qian had already launched the Blood Conquest, vanishing from the spot.

Perhaps due to the excessive ferocity, the walls and tables didn’t even realize they had been cleaved through, not making the slightest sound.

This directly resulted in Miss Mosi, behind the counter, not noticing the loss from her business right away.

Of course, there’s no need to worry excessively about her; Fu Qian had already helped her identify the newcomer.

Who else could it be, slicing through walls to attack people with such a domineering approach?

Back in Xi Yuan City, Su Gao had already demonstrated such an act once.

Indeed, the individual who appeared was none other than his own top enforcer among the Demigods, the capable general of his commercial empire.

And upon recognizing this familiar presence, Fu Qian’s immediate reaction was one of profound regret, lamenting that Night Holy City surely corrupts people deeply.

Of course, now was not the time to focus on the ideological education of employees, and although it hadn’t been long since they last met, Demigod Su had clearly improved, wielding her blade not only with unshakable force but also in complete silence.

Had it not been for his achievement of Second Phase, he might have had to dodge in an even more disheveled manner.

Choosing this location for a meeting, only to encounter her here, truly made one marvel at the unexpected meetings in life.

...

Yuan Shan was right after all; Su Gao even arrived in Night Holy City two steps ahead of them, and given that she likely didn’t have much of a shopping habit, this was clearly the Night Watchman’s response to anomalies, a High Tier Transcendent in search of the cause.

Su Gao’s senses were unquestionably sharp; the Yellow Robe Lie Wen gifted to him had instantly drawn her here.

And her decisive lethality was as strong as ever; upon locking onto her target, she didn’t speak but simply attacked.

The only consolation was that she aimed for the legs, clearly preferring to capture her target alive to preserve the ability for dialogue.

It’s just that right now, it’s probably best not to engage in too much communication with her—

Having just entered the Blood Conquest state, Fu Qian’s body suddenly accelerated, but in the next moment, blood still splattered.

A horrific wound stretched from his left chest to his right waist, imparting a poignant lesson on opening one’s heart.

Of course, the Yellow Robe remained elegant, showing no signs of damage.

This is possible too!

His figure moving like lightning, Fu Qian continuously darted and weaved, dodging one after another void-born slash.

In the corresponding real world, Su Gao, seemingly merged with the darkness, chased after her invisible target in the air.

Fu Qian wasn’t too surprised at her ability to detect his location.

The very moment he launched Blood Conquest, he once again became aware of the powerful methods of Lie Wen.

Even entering this special dimension did not diminish the conspicuous nature of the Yellow Robe, which seemed to disregard everything else.

Worthy of a being rumored to be transformed from an ancient god.

It seems the only way this will end is when the influence of the Prism of Radiant Transformation, as he mentioned, fades away.

All in all, Fu Qian was not overly optimistic, convinced that Su Gao couldn’t detect him completely.

He was astonished that she could actually strike him!

The swinging blade now bore a faint blue glow, blatantly disregarding the boundaries of dimensions.

Is this the power of "Echo"?

For a moment, Fu Qian remembered her Introduction to her own abilities back on Ye Island.

This was clearly a targeted response made in an instant due to the state change caused by Blood Conquest.

Worthy of his top enforcer, even capable of delivering a dimensional slash!

In the midst of his emotions, Fu Qian had already passed through the wall and even casually released the state.

...

Motion came to a sudden halt.

Su Gao’s appearance hadn’t changed at all, showing no sign of being influenced by this city of entertainment.

Under the narrow hat her brows were slightly knitted; she looked at the Yellow Robe’s shadow standing there, seemingly hesitant to speak.

"Fang."

Fu Qian let out a light sigh and uttered a single word.

The initial intention of making himself known was to show friendliness, but judging by the other’s posture, he had been recognized.

The hesitation of Su Gao was not about whether to continue slashing, but that she had too many covers to choose from, unsure of which name would be appropriate to use.

"I apologize, Mr. Fang, it seems your situation is a bit troublesome. Do you need my help with anything?"

As expected, in the next moment, Su Gao sheathed her sword and greeted him amiably.

The content of the greeting was an instant change of allegiance, without any hint of hesitation.

"When you have time, come and compensate for the losses."

Fu Qian, who originally did not intend to disturb her, didn’t dawdle given the situation and just pointed behind him before taking the lead.

Right now, he was like a firefly in the darkness, better to stay away from the hustle and bustle.

In fact, Su Gao’s immediate and unhesitating attack was precisely her way of doing just that.

Even someone as aberrant as himself, truly the type to take ordinary people hostage—a Demigod who charges forward regardless of consequence, coupled with the possible arrival of the Night Watchman’s main forces—was enough to make him abandon such a decision.

...

"Is it only you nearby?"

While traveling through Night Holy City, before understanding the full situation, Fu Qian did not rush Su Gao, so as not to draw unnecessary attention.

Of course, he was definitely leading her toward the darker places with dimmer lights.

Yes.

Su Gao whispered in agreement.

"Considering the limited capabilities of others, only the High Tier that could be contacted were deployed, scattered to verify the cause of the abnormalities."

"There is also a Divine Envoy in charge of an area adjacent to mine; however, this direction should be fine."

"Additionally, the person in charge here is the only First Phase, and I am not certain of his monitoring area or even his means."

However, your defection was more natural than nature itself.

Fu Qian sighed inwardly.

"How did you recognize me?"

Su Gao hadn’t seen him using the Blood Conquest before, and all sorts of gadgets were hidden under the Yellow Robe. Less than one-fifth of the face was exposed, not to mention that this disguise had an effect of altering appearance and concealment.

"It’s indeed very deceptive. I didn’t recognize you at first either, but—"

Su Gao hesitated for once, glancing at the weapon in her hand.

"I can recognize the harm..."

Huh?

Fu Qian was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of her words. She hadn’t recognized him at first; was it the familiar feeling that came after the slash she made later?

It’s no wonder that from their first encounter, she had developed a feel for slashing him three times.

Although this method of recognition might sound incredible, Fu Qian did not doubt it.

The effect of Echo is to adapt and change according to the target.

Therefore, it exhibits a fingerprint-like distinctiveness. For Su Gao, who is pure strength personified, there was nothing too difficult to understand.

"Should I continue searching?"

As she pondered, Su Gao was already asking.

"Or is there a way to help with the problem on you?"

Her thought process was quite clear; although it had been several days since they last met, it obviously wasn’t the time for a reunion.

Either go all out to assist, or pretend nothing had happened.

"No way, but since you’re here, you indeed could do me a favor."

Fu Qian’s answer was just as straightforward.
