Chapter 799

~7 min read 1,322 words

Subsequently, two people walked up behind Su Ming.

One was the fifth-turn poison master of the Xuanjing guild, Yuan Bin.

The other was the Cold Drop assassin who had just been promoted to fifth-turn in the Xuanjing guild, Yuan Teng.

Yuan Teng is Yuan Bin's younger brother; Su Ming had met him once at an auction.

"Slashing Moon Swordsman, did you think that by changing to the 【Undead Assassin】 title, we wouldn't recognize you?" Yuan Bin carried a poison mist canister on his back, smiling sinisterly.

A total of three people surrounded Su Ming.

Several people were full of killing intent, and their goal was clear.

They want to kill Su Ming!

Su Ming's heart moved slightly.

Xiao Ming immediately flew up and came into the air to provide him with a high-altitude view.

He knew that a great battle was inevitable.

Yuan Bin smiled coldly, the hump on his nose bridge was high, making his hooked nose look incredibly ugly.

Su Ming was unhurried, his fingers hooked lightly.

The flying swords returned and circled around him.

"Daring to target me, you have guts." Su Ming sneered.

Subsequently, he turned his head and looked at Zai Da, with some confusion surging in his eyes.

"Zai Da, you are a veteran elder of Heisha; why are you colluding with the Xuanjing guild to deal with me?"

"Are you going to betray Jiang Tianchi?"

Hearing this, a wicked, bloodthirsty smile surged on Zai Da's boyish face.

"That's a long story." Zai Da shook his head and said.

When he heard this sentence, Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

In Zai Da's dark red eyes, traces of brown flickered, which made Su Ming feel extremely strange.

Suddenly, Su Ming's gaze tightened.

He discovered that Zai Da's pupils were emitting brown-yellow light, with traces of worm eggs wriggling hidden within.

This... looked exactly like the characteristics of the shapeshifters Su Ming encountered in the Zombie Siege dungeon!

Su Ming didn't hesitate and directly performed an Insight Eye scan.

Sure enough, there was a negative BUFF on Zai Da's BUFF slot.

【Shapeshifter Parasitism: His shell has been occupied by a high-tier shapeshifter; now this shapeshifter is gnawing on his brain and internal organs, gradually occupying his thinking】

It really is a shapeshifter!

And, it's a high-tier shapeshifter!

Its strength must be countless times stronger than the low-tier shapeshifters he encountered in the Zombie Siege dungeon!

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Su Ming's forehead.

He didn't expect Zai Da to be possessed and parasitized by a shapeshifter.

What exactly happened?

"You were cheated by Shi Liang in the tournament; I saw through it immediately; this was Yuan Bin's handiwork." Zai Da's voice was as usual, sneering.

Su Ming knew that it was the shapeshifter dominating Zai Da's body now, but he could hardly see any flaws; it was simply lifelike.

"So I severely injured Yuan Bin, making him wish he were dead, and then fled the arena."

Speaking of this, Zai Da turned his head and glanced at Yuan Bin.

At least at that moment, Zai Da was still a member of Heisha, standing up for Su Ming without hesitation, and even not hesitating to put himself in danger.

Yuan Bin's old face turned black, and he felt a chill in his heart, with some hidden fear in his eyes.

It can be seen that even though Zai Da is on his side now, he is still afraid of that move; a thousand needles piercing the body is indeed too painful.

"At that time, people from the Heavenly Tower Realm and the Xuanjing guild chased and killed me together." Zai Da recalled.

"I fled to a C-grade dungeon, Chaotic Cloud Great Forest, and as it happened, I stepped into the BOSS area; in the end, my luck was extremely bad, and I was smashed by the BOSS, losing an arm and a leg, unable to escape again." There was some regret in Zai Da's eyes.

He is just an assassin; his health is too fragile.

"Then everyone from the Xuanjing guild rushed over!"

"After Guild Leader Guo Xin arrived at the scene, he didn't kill me."

"Instead, he saved me."

Speaking of this, a sense of extreme displeasure surged in Zai Da's eyes, and he spat.

"Damn, Guo Xin is really despicable enough."

"I am naturally free and unrestrained, but I also have my own bottom line."

"Guo Xin repaid evil with kindness and saved my life... no matter what, I have to repay this favor."

"I really can't do anything about this move of his."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and gave a wry smile.

"Anyway, sorry." As he spoke, Zai Da shrugged, gripped his dagger tightly, and walked forward slowly.

Obviously, he wants to kill Su Ming.

Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes were complex.

He believed that if Zai Da were awake now, he would definitely not attack him.

But in his state of being controlled by the shapeshifter and his consciousness being hazy, it's hard to say.

In the process of the shapeshifter devouring the host's memory, it will also self-absorb the host's personality.

That is to say, in the process of transforming the shell, the shapeshifter itself will also absorb the will of this body more or less, be assimilated a little, and the personality will also be extremely similar.

If there were no Insight Eye, Su Ming probably wouldn't be able to tell that Zai Da was being parasitized by a shapeshifter.

Su Ming didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated the Will Butterfly Gu to fly out, circling behind and turning into an inconspicuous streamer, rushing into Zai Da's ear.

"This high-tier shapeshifter might be the mastermind who targeted me in the dungeon." Su Ming's gaze was cold, and he thought to himself.

"It controlled Zai Da's body and joined forces with the Xuanjing guild, wanting to defeat me and then seize my body; what a good method."

Xuanjing Guild Leader Guo Xin's class is a sixth-turn Light Dark Guard; Su Ming doesn't know his strength, but he must be a person who stops at nothing.

Zai Da said earlier that Guild Leader Guo Xin spared his life and did him a favor.

I'm afraid this was the shapeshifter tampering with Zai Da's memory so that his subconscious resistance wouldn't be so intense.

After all, it hasn't completely devoured this body yet; Zai Da's thinking can still resist a little bit, but it is very weak.

It is estimated that the factual memory of Guo Xin joining forces with the shapeshifter to seize Zai Da's body was modified into Guo Xin sparing his life.

It's really cheap enough.

The shapeshifter constantly influenced and matched this matter in his body, distorting Zai Da's will, leading to the two of them turning against each other now.

"Doesn't Jiang Tianchi have any kindness to you?" Looking at Zai Da's forward steps, Su Ming said solemnly.

He hoped to use Heisha Guild Leader Jiang Tianchi to awaken Zai Da's reason and break free from the shapeshifter's dominance!

Zai Da's steps paused slightly, and he shook his head.

Zai Da and Jiang Tianchi both awakened with seven-star talent back then and walked together to this day, experiencing countless life-and-death battles; the two have a life-and-death friendship.

Although Jiang Tianchi is the guild leader and his cultivation is higher, Jiang Tianchi has never had a superior attitude toward Zai Da.

So Su Ming wanting to use Jiang Tianchi to suppress Zai Da is impossible.

"Jiang Tianchi, that guy, is my good friend; he doesn't have any favor to me; on the contrary, when we were in the same realm back then, I even saved his life once."

"However... if Guo Xin wants me to take action against the members of Heisha, I still can't make a move."

"Because some things are more important than human feelings and bottom lines." Zai Da said word by word.
