Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 161 - 161 56 Passerby_2

161: Chapter 56 Passerby_2 161: Chapter 56 Passerby_2 Shiyu Lianyi stabbed hard at the headset with a dagger, sparks flying everywhere, but the little black box was completely unharmed.

“Miss Qiluo still lacks experience~ That paranoid freak would definitely have made sure such an important item had its defenses.”

The woman in the top hat took the headset and melted it into a puddle of scrap metal with high-temperature flames.

“Done!

When it comes to exerting effort, you’ve got to rely on me!”

Seeing that awful thing destroyed, Qiluo finally relaxed.

She looked anxiously into the sky, “How are Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai doing?”

Miss Qin was now caught in a rare mix of sorrow and joy.

The crisis of the Celestial City was resolved, which made her very happy; thinking that everything was ruined and almost crying out loud only to find out nothing happened, filled her with sadness.

“—That’s right, my little cleverness did have some effect after all!

Cough cough cough!”

The Superpower User explained her plan while using white matter to patch up the holes in her body—Qin Qianbai’s injuries had eased for a while and she used her abilities to take care of them herself, hardening to stop the bleeding was quite convenient.

“…”

Ming Guest had been silent since Gongsun Ce started his explanation, simply listening curiously.

Only after he heard the whole process did he finally make a noise.

“…Hah.”

Showing no sign of defeat and not the least bit frantic, the man was greatly amused and laughed heartily.

“Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!

So that’s it, another deception!

Without that ability, by relying on that girl’s assistance, you’ve tricked me!”

Qin Qianbai said expressionlessly, “You tricked me too.”

“Hey, Miss, didn’t I show you Miss Qiluo’s hairpin?!”

“I thought it was a hint from Ah Ce for Qiluo to launch a sneak attack, which seemed very excessive no matter how I thought about it.

I seriously considered the possibility of Qiluo awakening some powerful ability.”

“That child doesn’t even dare to kill a chicken, and you think I’d have her sneak attack Ming Guest?!

You’re also pretty excessive to even consider such a scenario!”

Ming Guest shook his head helplessly.

If Qin Qianbai hadn’t attacked at that moment, if either of them had shown the slightest hesitation in battle, he probably would have been more careful and retrieved the item in time.

But even with his Martial Arts in a divine state, even with the Impermanence Skill reaching the Creation Realm, human pattern of thought still exists.

“When one leaf obstructs, the high mountains are unseen.” The incongruity he would normally perceive is easily overlooked under the dual strategy and battle-minded distraction.

Against a giant dragon, such techniques would surely be useless; but for humans like him, sometimes simple mistakes can be so easily made…

If Yan Qi knew about it, he’d probably mock him and call him a fool.

Thinking of this, Ming Guest felt even more amused, yet also even more helpless.

He no longer considered ideas like looking for the headset on the ground or finding the person who made those awful tunes.

A Martial Artist may not give up, but must acknowledge defeat.

Defeat was defeat.

Ming Guest gently clapped his hands.

“Well done.

Gongsun Ce, Qin Qianbai.

This time, you’ve won.”

Not defeated by greater power or superior skill, but by unremarkable cunning and the cooperation between the two.

This was a fresh experience.

For him, such victories and defeats were equally delightful.

However, out of selfishness,

He decided to play a little prank in return.

Ming Guest made a ferocious face and raised his long knife once more.

“But I can’t just let you get away with tricking me—right here, I’ll kill you both to vent my anger.”

“…” “…”

This time, the two Superpower Users had the same look in their eyes.

Gongsun Ce pointed weakly to his own chest, “Come on, chop, chop hard, right here—fuck, you’re really chopping!”

The grey-haired young man rolled on the ground after being slashed, while Qin Qianbai silently shook her head.

Ming Guest sighed, “Why aren’t you afraid of me?”

**That** was the truly strange question.

“That idiot is a menace to the public but poses no threat to someone like you.

Yan Qi’s comment about you seemed odd at first, but now it seems quite apt.”

—Ming Guest, when acting as a “combatant,” is a harmless person.

“Why should I be afraid of a swordsman who doesn’t kill?”

The disheveled young man replied, “I’m not stupid, okay?

Would Miss Qin and I be able to explain our plan to you after getting fatally wounded like just now?

On the way here, seeing people as still as corpses was scary, but they were just seriously injured and incapacitated.

Even Mr.

Shiyu you fought earlier had wounds but didn’t die, do you really believe that’s all a coincidence?”

Gongsun Ce had a blank look on his face, unsure of how to even respond to this man.

“All you think about is fighting, wishing we were ten times stronger and eager to fight you.

Do you really have the heart to kill your opponents?

You probably hope those you defeat aim to take revenge on you and endlessly train to get stronger, so they’ll come back to challenge you!

You simply want to gather more afterimages around the world, longing to see a world where everyone is incredibly powerful!!!”

Ming Guest put away his swords and sat down on a transparent platform.

Now, the sun had disappeared beyond the horizon.

The dreamlike light had vanished from the sky, and a crescent moon peaked out from the clouds.

The deep night and twinkling stars shrouded the three.

The man leisurely responded, “Isn’t that nice.”

Qin Qianbai once again reflected on past events.

On that snowy night when she was seven, Qin Ming had defeated all the experts in their clan.

He, drenched in countless bloodshed, did not attack her or her grandfather but instead departed alone into the snow.

After that day, many in the clan lost their will to pursue Martial Arts.
