Chapter 641: Not a single one of the peak players is simple

Not a single one of the peak players is simple.

One by one, the decrees transformed into a barrier of holy light, sealing the smoke-filled area tight. As a hunter sprinting outside the range of the decrees, Li Wufang once again drew his bow and pulled the string, sparing no effort as he fired countless arrows of retribution into the center of the smoke.

This investigator was no longer preparing for interrogation or arrest; faced with such a suspect, he decided to execute them on the spot!

It was precisely at this moment that Cheng Shi and the other two arrived at the scene. When they saw everything before them, their expressions grew even more solemn.

The area that had been annihilated was simply too large. The massive commotion had attracted the attention of almost the entire town. Countless people were poking their heads out in the streets and alleys; some were panicked, some were busybodies, and there were even those with a death wish who thought some good treasure had fallen into this sky-filling dust and actually wanted to go inside to rummage around.

Unfortunately, these profit-seekers, bold enough to defy the heavens, were all blocked outside by the walls of holy light formed by the decrees.

The exchange in the battlefield had clearly reached a white-hot stage, and judging by Li Wufang's stance, it was obvious he wanted a fight to the death.

The three of them didn't know what had happened here and it wasn't easy to judge the matter too much, but in any case, Wu Cun had destroyed an entire city block. This kind of behavior that dragged everyone down would only force the players who wanted to win the trial to passively pick a side.

"The obstacle item is the biggest variable. This time, I'm standing with 【Order】. Perhaps the prophecy of 【Fate】 is right before our eyes."

As he spoke, Wang Mou took several palm-sized mechanical mice directly from his space. These mice had only alloy skeletons and not a shred of flesh. The moment they hit the ground, a terrifying red light erupted from their hollow eye sockets, and emitting squeaking sounds, they charged madly toward the smoke and dust.

Soon, the sound of explosions rang out from within the smoke. The noise was as loud as thunder, and it was not at all inferior to the roar from just a moment ago.

Mechanical Engineering!?

So he was a scholar from the Mechanical Engineering school?

Cheng Shi was slightly stunned, and he remembered the scholar's lie again. If he really was a scholar, then what else could he be lying about?

His name?

Lying for a name?

But "Wang Mou" was already a code name. Even if he were lying, why insist on giving a code name?

This matter was definitely not simple. Cheng Shi hadn't figured it out, but he didn't have time to delve into it. He looked toward the center of the battlefield and sensed the power of 【Annihilation】 gathering madly inside. This Annihilator didn't seem to be injured; not only that, she even wanted to prepare another big one for the "teammates" on the periphery.

Cheng Shi's expression was slightly ugly. He thought to himself that the timing of the opponent's outburst was truly bad. He had just removed his mask, lost the buff of the Warrior for the day, and turned back into a Fate Weaver, and yet a battle had broken out at this very moment.

However, since he couldn't help, he could at least act as logistics. So, he retreated half a step and looked at Qin Xin, the main combatant in front of him, but he didn't expect that Qin Xin didn't seem prepared to move either.

This person from the mirror took a step across to block in front of Cheng Shi, and after feeling Cheng Shi's gaze, he smiled and shook his head.

"Clues aren't important, the trial isn't important, and points aren't important..."

"Our friend is the most important."

"The investigator and the scholar are enough to handle all this. What I can do is ensure our priest friend isn't affected by the annihilation before the blind man returns."

As soon as his voice fell, a power of 【Annihilation】 as violent as a tsunami erupted from the smoke, rushing toward all directions indiscriminately. Looking at this momentum, Wu Cun seemed to want to drag everyone along toward annihilation.

Including herself!

"!!!"

"Not good, retreat first!"

Sensing this terrifying power of 【Annihilation】 crashing down on them, Wang Mou's expression sank, and he disappeared directly from before Cheng Shi and the other two. The speed was so fast that even Qin Xin, who was a warrior, felt slightly stunned. He raised his eyebrows and said:

"It seems the scholar is not a scholar."

Indeed, Cheng Shi also saw it. In a critical moment, one's identity is the hardest to conceal. This scholar perhaps never expected that what he rushed over to join wasn't a lively scene, but a destruction where heaven and earth collapsed together.

So he flashed away from the battlefield at the first opportunity. As for the means of this flash...

Shadow Shuttle!

This was no knowledgeable scholar; this was clearly a doctor of assassination!

This believer of 【Truth】 who took out mechanical engineering props was a pure assassin!

However, never mind whether the scholar was an assassin or not, shouldn't the two of them also temporarily avoid the sharp edge?

Cheng Shi wasn't too worried, because he had already scattered countless dice along this journey. At this very moment, he could transfer anywhere he wanted, but because Qin Xin hadn't acted rashly, he didn't choose to leave with Wang Mou.

He always felt that this founder of Fire-Spreading was too calm and must have some trump card. If he left first, he would instead become a ridiculous clown in the eyes of others, so he slowed down, deciding to use his talent to swap himself away at the very last second when he had to go.

Usually, the cautious Cheng Shi wouldn't do this, but today with Qin Xin standing in front, he didn't want his image in the eyes of the Fire-Spreader to be greatly discounted because of an 【Annihilation】.

That power of 【Annihilation】 whistled and almost swept to their eyes. The calm 【Memory】 player in front of Cheng Shi finally moved. He chuckled, drew a slender long sword, and drew a circle in front of him. Afterward, a mirror surface like a deep-sea gem instantly appeared in front of him. At this instant, the violent 【Annihilation】 storm seemed to have found an outlet, and the 【Annihilation】 waves surging in all directions all folded back, charging madly toward this gem mirror.

Behind the mirror surface, it was unknown what kind of space it connected to. Everyone only saw the storm spawned by divine power being sucked in entirely, and then a tsunami of 【Annihilation】 just disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Safe.

It ended just like that?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at Qin Xin's back, his gaze sweeping past the other's shoulder to look at the mirror flowing with icy blue light, his heart incomparably shocked.

What kind of strength is this?

This founder of Fire-Spreading was even carrying Adric in his other hand without putting him down, yet with just one hand drawing a circle, he settled the 【Annihilation】 disaster that had scared Wang Mou away?

Following the disappearance of the violent 【Annihilation】 power, everyone in the field looked toward Qin Xin's direction.

The sky-filling smoke and dust had long been annihilated, and even the broken walls and ruins in the center of the field were all destroyed. Reality was not messy but was torn everywhere; void rifts were everywhere, and the howling wind of nothingness blew out from them, blowing the temperature of the entire area down by several degrees.

Li Wufang stood on a distant rooftop with a gloomy face. His eyes, sharp as a falcon's, scanned this area before him again and again, yet the figure of that Annihilator was long gone.

This terrifying 【Annihilation】 storm didn't annihilate anyone, but it seemed to have "annihilated" the caster alone.

But Li Wufang knew the ending was definitely not the appearance before them. As for where Wu Cun went, that would have to be asked of this person from the mirror who had settled everything before them, Qin Xin!

He looked at Qin Xin. At the same time, that Wang Mou who had previously left the battlefield a step early to take refuge also flashed back. He looked at the blue gem mirror in front of Qin Xin with a face of surprise and whispered in exclamation:

"【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】?"

"Are you 'Still Like a Dream'?"
