Chapter 488: Murderous Intent in the Wind and Snow

Murderous Intent in the Wind and Snow

Cheng Shi frowned as he looked in the direction Seeing Da Yi had disappeared, and then turned back to ask Poison in a low voice:

"Did you do something?"

Poison blinked innocently: "What?"

Cheng Shi curled his lips and said: "Don't play dumb. Although Seeing Da Yi is rough, he doesn't seem like such a hot-tempered person. His desire for 【Scars of Gift】 is a bit too strong. Did you use methods on him?"

Poison stared at Cheng Shi for a few seconds, her gaze first sweeping over Jiang Chi, who was standing aside with his eyes closed to rest, before she curled her lips and asked back softly:

"Are you worried about him being influenced, or are you worried about yourself being influenced?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's gaze froze, and his face sank.

This believer of 【Filth】 really did something. What a powerful method, to be able to influence a fellow assassin so imperceptibly, and Seeing Da Yi seems to have... not discovered it?

Cheng Shi glanced in the direction Seeing Da Yi had disappeared, feeling a sense of unease. Did the other party really not discover it?

He chose to leave at this time, what plans does he have?

Also, what about himself? Did he get hit too?

Cheng Shi put on a puzzled posture on the surface, but secretly gripped the key in his hand without changing his expression.

At this moment, Poison moved closer. She seemed to want to squeeze into Cheng Shi's down jacket to keep warm.

"How could I attack you, Little Priest? I trust you forever, otherwise how could I entrust my back to you?"

As she spoke, Poison actually turned around and started backing toward Cheng Shi, while simultaneously pulling the zipper of her jacket, as if she would reveal her flawless snowy back again in this wind and snow the next second.

However, this time Cheng Shi didn't stop her, but instead turned around just like her, while raising his hand to pull the zipper of his down jacket, starting another "frank and honest" opening move with this believer of 【Filth】.

Both of them were retreating in small steps. The moment their backs collided, Cheng Shi sneered:

"Take it off, why aren't you taking it off anymore?"

Poison puffed her cheeks and rolled her eyes at Cheng Shi with a shy and coquettish look. She "obediently" pulled the zipper, threw away the jacket on her body, but this time, underneath the clothes was no longer a bare back, but a snow-white assassin's suit.

Poison moved!

Just as the clothes hadn't hit the ground yet, she suddenly flew out into the wind and snow. At the same time, Cheng Shi restrained his smile and showed a solemn expression. The hand protecting his neck instantly twisted open three scalpels and threw them toward the wall directly in front of him.

The scalpels shot out, breaking the wind, and were about to be nailed to the wall. But the moment the blade tips touched the wall, a spatial distortion suddenly appeared in front of the empty wall, dispersing the surrounding wind and snow. Then, three "ding" sounds were heard; the three scalpels were repelled by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

There really is someone!

It's that chameleon!

Cheng Shi's gaze froze, and he took a step back away from Jialun and Jiang Chi.

If it weren't for Poison suddenly reminding him by turning her back, he really wouldn't have noticed that his other two teammates had already killed their way to the front.

So, was Seeing Da Yi's departure an opportunity the hunters had been waiting for, or was it an opportunity Poison created for the hunters?

Does she want to solve Gong Yangjiao here?

By what means?

It certainly can't be by means of a priest who has no strength to truss a chicken, so her confidence is Jiang Chi?

It's probably Jiang Chi!

Because the moment Cheng Shi retreated, this Pointer Knight also moved.

He didn't know when he had taken out a long sword made of a complexly engraved hour hand from his portable space. The posture of holding it high in front of him was far sharper than when he was holding the sundial needle in the square before.

The moment he saw the space in front of the wall distort, the Pointer Knight laughed loudly, pointed the sword tip forward lightly, and the gathered power of 【Time】 allowed the distorted space to stagnate, even slowing down the falling snowflakes. Then, he seized the opportunity to kick off the ground, waving his long sword like an umbrella surface, and the whole person smashed toward the distorted space like a wind-breaking awl.

Jiang Chi is very strong. To be honest, Cheng Shi had never seen a Pointer Knight who could stagnate the 【Time】 of a piece of space. Perhaps it was because the Pointer Knights he had encountered before were all too low-ranked; they could at most delay or solidify the opponent's movements, but the current Jiang Chi, this move was clearly unreasonably strong.

The chameleon was clearly caught in the timing. Just as he was forced to break his stealth but didn't immediately change his position, the hour-hand long sword that had rolled up a hurricane had already pointed directly at his left shoulder.

"Pfft—"

Jiang Chi didn't deal a fatal blow; this was still a warning.

The sword tip pierced through the body, bringing out a blood line that splattered on the wall behind, adding a striking scarlet to this snow-white world.

But the knight's elegance ended quickly, because the moment the blood splattered on the white wall, the chameleon in front of him gritted his teeth, carried the knight's sword tip, and suddenly rushed forward an inch, risking injury to strike Jiang Chi away with a heavy blow.

Jiang Chi was also hit in the shoulder, his face gloomy as he staggered back. He looked up and saw that the other party was holding a weapon, which was clearly a long bow commonly used by hunters!

This hunter actually has impressive melee combat power, actually using only the bowstring to strike a close-combat warrior away!

Are you crazy!?

Is the warrior too weak or is the hunter too strong?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. Not only Cheng Shi, but the chameleon himself was dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't seem to expect that his strength could actually go head-to-head with a Pointer Knight.

But he quickly reacted and took the opportunity to jump high onto the wall, twisting the bow and pulling the string to start shooting from a distance. However, the direction this injured hunter aimed at was not Jiang Chi, who had been struck back, but Cheng Shi, who was watching the show carefully on the side!

？？？

Cheng Shi was shocked, and four words immediately flashed through his mind: Kill the healer first!

Damn!

Seeing the power of 【Silence】 gathering at the arrow tip, Cheng Shi's face sank, and he ran as soon as he lifted his legs, cursing as he ran:

"Are you sick? The knight stabbed your shoulder, not your brain. He hit you, you hit him! Why aim at me!"

However, the chameleon was not influenced by Cheng Shi's words. He shot five arrows in a row at Cheng Shi's back. The first four arrows were barely dodged by Cheng Shi, only taking away a bit of skin and flesh from his body without hitting any vital points. Only the fifth arrow, when Cheng Shi wanted to climb over a low wall, hit him squarely in the back of the heart, directly shooting him to the ground.

Everyone present only heard a muffled "umph," followed by a "boom," and then there was complete silence behind the low wall.

Jiang Chi's expression changed, sword flowers flew in his hands, and the power of 【Time】 overflowed crazily, constantly pulling at the chameleon's footsteps. However, the chameleon retreated after one strike, not lingering in the fight. Seeing the target hit by the arrow, he ran along the high wall in the first instance, rushing toward the place where Cheng Shi had fallen.

Jiang Chi wanted to chase, but after only two steps, he found that he had accidentally fallen into a trap of 【Silence】, losing all five senses for a moment, unable to distinguish direction, and started marching in place.

Seeing that his trap had trapped the knight, the chameleon didn't take the opportunity to deal a fatal blow, just shot an arrow to pierce Jiang Chi's sole, pinning the other party to the ground, and then retreated rapidly.

In his view, as long as he finished off that priest, the hunt for this round would be almost half successful.

However, when he leaped down from the high wall and climbed over the low wall, he found that there was no shadow of anyone at the place where the target had fallen, except for a pool of blood!

The priest had disappeared!

But it doesn't matter; tracking and searching are the hunter's specialty.

The chameleon frowned slightly, twisted a bit of bloody snow, sniffed it in front of his nose, and then chased rapidly in a certain direction with a solemn gaze. As he ran, his figure merged into the wind and snow again and disappeared.

And just a few seconds later, a red and white figure flashed back from the periphery.

Poison coughed up a mouthful of blood as soon as she landed, but she quickly wiped away the bloodstain on the corner of her mouth, and the whole person was stunned:

"Where's the Little Priest?"

Jiang Chi rushed out of the trap, casually cut off the arrow on his sole with his hour-hand long sword, and said flatly: "He was captured."

"?" Poison's gaze froze, and she looked at this Pointer Knight gloomily, "I cooperated with you, but not to let you release water, Jiang Chi."

Jiang Chi snorted coldly, squatted down to simply treat his wound, looked up, and said playfully:

"Our agreement didn't include protecting the priest, right?

Besides, I have to consider my partner. Every time there is one more person in this team, your chance of getting 【Scars of Gift】 decreases by a few percent.

Having one competitor is enough; that Seeing Da Yi is not an easy person to deal with."

Poison smiled. She curled her lips and looked at Jiang Chi with interest:

"So, you are picking the soft persimmon to squeeze?"

"You could say that. I know there are probably no soft persimmons in this segment, but, the Fate Weaver must be softer than the Gap-Light Iron Thorn."

Poison sneered: "Why, have you tried?"

"..." Jiang Chi's mouth twitched, and he remained silent.

Poison shook her head and laughed. She took out a healing potion from her space and started applying it to her body, while muttering in a voice no one could hear:

"Jiang Chi, oh Jiang Chi, you probably picked the wrong persimmon. The Little Priest...

is very hard.

Hmm, especially hard."

As she spoke, she chuckled, and glanced silently at the direction Seeing Da Yi hadn't returned from, a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes. ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
