Sewage treatment plant, the lawn at the other end.
The tall man wearing a mask bent down and picked up a freesia flower.
A short jet-black arrow shot out from it and was caught by him before it hit the target.
He sneered and threw the short arrow back. The weapon flew out faster than the hunter expected, and the arrow scratched a trail of blood on her arm.
"Is this your psychic power? Ha..."
The hunter was not angry at the other party's provocation.
Only an impulsive person like Gongsun Ce would fall for this simple provocation.
In fact, when she was talking to the masked man before, she was just disgusted by his behavior. On the surface, she is tit-for-tat, but secretly she is ready. She is a true figure who hopes to let the opponent take the first shot to judge his ability.
If there is a large-scale attack, the person with superpowers will be pulled to retreat first. Otherwise, the opponent will be teleported to a distant place.
The two people who had just met this afternoon faced off against the duo from the Ritual Ceremony Hall. Even if they had the upper hand in terms of ability, their coordination would definitely not be as good as that of a dedicated partner. In a two-person melee, they would most likely be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, it is up to the expert to deal with the expert, while his deputy has to let the young man face it alone.
She believed that the superpower would not be defeated easily.
But that's what she didn't expect.
The problem lies on one's own side.
"You always speak in a condescending tone. Isn't this a bad habit of Imperial people?"
Take two steps forward and maintain an appropriate distance.
Carefully observe the opponent's movements and be prepared for enemy surprise attacks.
Relying on her own abilities, she has never been seriously harmed from the beginning of the battle until now...
However, the enemy was also unscathed.
"It's none of your business what I say?"
here we go again.
Unable to perceive sight under the mask. The man just looked at the freesia flower in his hand and didn't pay attention to the opponent in front of him at all.
This in itself is an extremely strange thing.
It had been more than ten seconds since he picked up the Shadow Canglan. According to the hunter's experience, the flowers in a non-shadow environment should have faded and disappeared long ago.
But now, the flower still exists in the man's palm, unaffected by the change in environment.
"It's boring enough. Your heart is like this, you are a self-righteous woman."
Preface withdrawn.
Sure enough, the provoking method will be useful.
"Self-righteous? Are you worthy of saying that to others?!"
"The carrier of the wish is the flower, the limiting environment is the shadow, and the most important wish is transfer, which can also be called escape." He closed his palms and crushed the flower. "The wish is simple and the symbol is clear. It is easy to interpret and boring. It’s boring. In your heart, you are an elegant flower, but it’s a pity that the environment in which it blooms is a shadow under the light, so your wish is to escape from the shadow and go to a new world——"
The tall man laughed as he watched the light spots that were once flowers pass from his palms.
"Ha! It's a pity that dragon slaying is not a dream come true, it's just a technique that uses the power of the mind! What you want and what you get are often not the same thing. Even if you follow the advice of predecessors step by step, the final step is completely different. Road, otherwise why would it be called the Dharma of Impermanence? Just like your psychic ability, your wish to escape from the shadows has come true, but your final destination is still another shadow!"
"you--!"
"You feel uncomfortable when you use this ability. I will give you some merciful advice. How about changing your own attitude towards others first?" He shrugged his shoulders, "There must be a limit to self-righteousness. There is no shadow in the world. Beautiful flowers won't grow. In the eyes of others, you and the kind you look down on are all hyenas that move in the dark. There's no difference. It's better to change to a shadow hound or a dark slug. Your strength may be greatly increased. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Now, the hunter can finally understand Gongsun Ce's actions.
When the things you care about are trampled on by others, when the side you don’t want to show is brought up without any scruples, even the best-tempered person will become angry.
She felt a little unbelievable. Is this how the superpower Fang Qian felt? Gongsun Ce actually insisted on talking to this guy for a few words. His determination was a superb performance.
"What state are you in when you comment like this? Are you a psychic like me, or are you a manifestation?"
She threw the short arrow with her hand. The arrow disappeared into the shadow of the flower and shot out from the back of the tall man.
The masked man didn't look back and avoided the hunter's attack by turning sideways.
"none of your business?"
This became the last statement that completely angered the hunter.
The masked man took another step to the side.
As before, this was to avoid the attack. The arrow shot from behind should have fallen to the ground, but now it was shot from another angle.
"oh?"
Alice threw two more short arrows.
Immediately afterwards.
The arrows shot out from the man's back, from the man's side, and from the man's front again! The success of a dodge does not mean the end of the offensive. Every arrow disappears before it hits the ground, and at the same instant it moves to a completely different angle than before.
The three short arrows that disappeared and reappeared were making irregular movements in the air. The man who could dodge one after another could be regarded as a man of great skill, but before he could adapt, the blue-haired woman threw two more short arrows into the air. Surrounded by a net.
"My magic is to summon flowers from the shadow. The so-called shadow refers to the place where the light cannot shine, the darkness without light. It can be a pocket without light, it can be the shadow under the board, or it can be The earth has lost its sun. In other words..."
"After the sun goes down, all areas without light at night are my domain."
Alice threw the sixth black arrow.
"Shadow Cang Lan, deep blue sea."
A freesia bloomed at her feet.
Flowers also appeared in the grass beside the road, growing on the gray gravel pavement, and blooming from the cement walls of the buildings. Everywhere they looked was filled with the faint blue of flowers, and the area where the two of them were standing turned into a sea of freesia flowers in the blink of an eye!
This is exactly the method of surrounding a tall man with just a few arrows - as long as flowers are created everywhere, there is a way to disappear and shoot out from any angle!
The man looked even more embarrassed now than when he fell to the ground before. His coat was covered with scratches, and the shirt on his chest and abdomen had several big holes. His dodging appearance was even worse than that of a circus clown. Flustered: "It's okay if I don't thank you for giving you some advice. Why are you still so angry!"
"Yes, why? Why don't you reflect on the way you speak?" The hunter's figure disappeared on the spot and appeared behind the man instantly. "This boring and uninteresting ability also has some different uses. I originally didn't want to use it. What do you use this for—"
The masked man turned around quickly and happened to catch her eyes.
"Hey! Isn't that the case?"
If emotions could be condensed into substance, the anger in the blue-haired woman's eyes would almost turn into flames.
"It's just a missing part of the body. It must not be a big deal to the experts of the Ritual Ceremony Hall!"
The experts from the Ritual Ceremony Hall immediately understood the enemy's thoughts.
Teleporting creatures is a delicate job that requires concentration to ensure nothing goes wrong. If there is a little negligence in the process...
Instead of exclaiming like before, he laughed.
"Ha! Are you really going to hit me hard?"
"Who said we should die before? Did you just say that I should change my mind? I accept your suggestion and let you see how hyenas fight!"
The tall man ignored the arrow that was about to pierce him, nor did he care that the hunter was about to touch his right hand.
He stood there and raised a finger.
"Not bad, woman, isn't this more interesting!"
Alice's hand and short arrow were about to come into contact with his body, and the masked man seemed to be about to activate his ability. At this moment——
Dozens of turbid high-pressure water streams were shot at the same time from far away from the battlefield!
The water flow swept across the lawn like a sharp blade, cutting off the tender green grass tips. The building in front of it was also split into two by this powerful liquid blade. The turbulent water lines divided the entire area into unequal fragments, and touching the edge meant death. The sneak attacker lurking in the dark goes all out. He wants to catch them all in one fell swoop during the fierce fight between the two!
"Tsk."
The hunter's clicking sound sounded in the distance.
The water swords all hit the air, and the blue-haired woman walked out of the flowers in the distance, holding onto someone's shoulder with her right hand.
At the last moment, she decisively gave up the planned attack and chose to relocate herself with an annoying expert.
The masked man was currently looking at the enemy who fired the water jet.
A dozen strange-looking beasts were approaching the two of them. They had the heads of lions, tails of snakes, and the bodies of sheep. Their movements were accompanied by an unbearable stench.
The bodies of the monsters are as transparent as water, and in the center there is a ball of filthy material that is constantly churning, like the core of the monsters.
The masked man said nothing, and Alice couldn't help but say: "What kind of advice does this expert have?"
"It's boring, much more boring than your flowers. Vicious Dharma is not disgusting. Practicing it can only prove that this person has intellectual problems." He waved his hand disdainfully, as if to shoo away flies, "Waiting for a long time I saw something like this, what a piece of junk!”
The beasts roared wildly and pounced on the two.
The tall man flicked his fingers.
In an instant, all the Chimeras made by the flowing water stopped in place.
"It's a truce. You can do whatever you like, I won't waste my time here."
The masked man threw a ball of objects, and Alice reached out to catch it.
"Give back your arrow."
After doing all this, he turned his back to the hunter, ignored the immobile beasts beside him, and left carelessly.
Alice Adar looked at what the man threw.
They were six short black arrows arranged neatly.
What on earth is this person here for?
Even she was rarely confused. Just as Alice was about to catch up with the strange man to get to the bottom of it, her mind turned to the super-powered person she had separated from not long ago.
"Oops, Gongsun Ce won't do it either!"
The hunter immediately disappeared from the spot and rushed to the previous location.
Now, only a dozen monsters are still standing there.
They howled but couldn't move, like a group of abandoned dogs.
