Chapter 307: White Fox Face Mask

Chapter 307: White Fox Face Mask

The gunshot and the woman’s scream resounded one after another.

Qi Xuansu knew that he failed to hit the shadow.

With a startled glance, Qi Xuansu saw that the shadow was wearing a furry white fox face mask. The fox’s eyes were narrowed, and it had a mocking smile.

During the split second of the gunshot, the figure wearing the white fox face mask approached Qi Xuansu.

At such proximity, Qi Xuansu had no time to draw his sword, but he still had his fists.

The person wearing the white fox mask reached out and pointed a slender and pale index finger at Qi Xuansu. A cluster of misty light appeared on the person’s fingertip. It seemed to be sword qi.

Qi Xuansu did not dare to be careless, so he threw away the Divine Dragon Pistol and used a knifehand strike with the Dayan Spirit Blade Technique to block this attack.

The two instantly separated upon contact.

The person wearing the white fox mask slashed at Qi Xuansu diagonally with a knifehand strike. For a moment, Qi Xuansu could only focus on defense.

After a while, the person wearing the white fox mask struck Qi Xuansu’s outstretched palm. They both staggered back, but it was difficult to determine who was winning this fight.

However, when Qi Xuansu looked down at his palm, he saw a bloody hole in the middle of it that was slowly healing.

“The Wanhua Divine Sword Palm!” Qi Xuansu was flabbergasted.

This palm technique was derived from a sword technique. Sword qi was hidden in the palm, which was as sharp as a sword. Its moves were complex and enchanting. Feint moves were used to lure and disturb the opponent but could also be turned into actual moves in times of need. This was a palm technique passed down to all descendants of the Li family.

However, this palm technique was only easy to learn if one had good swordsmanship. Otherwise, it would be tough to master. Back then, the Holy Xuan relied on this palm technique to dominate the world, defeating countless masters.

The person in the white fox mask waved their arms. All Qi Xuansu could see were overlapping palm shadows in all directions around him.

Qi Xuansu was no match for this person in terms of technique. However, Qi Xuansu had rich combat experience, so he had already figured out a countermeasure in the blink of an eye.

He decided that there was no point in defending himself, as the chances of him getting injured were high either way. Thus, he decided to be on the offense.

Qi Xuansu raised his arms and used the Tantai Fist Intention. He willingly took the palm strikes while his fist aimed straight at the person’s face.

He would rather hurt that person as well.

The person in the white fox mask gasped softly, seemingly surprised. They retracted their palm shadows and took the initiative to meet Qi Xuansu’s fist.

The person in the white fox mask had just neutralized Qi Xuansu’s power when a shadow suddenly flashed by.

Qi Xuansu was like a ghost, suddenly approaching the person in the white fox mask. The person in the white fox mask used the Wanhua Divine Sword Palm again, the palm shadows flickering. However, since they were in such proximity, Qi Xuansu saw an opening and jabbed the center of his opponent’s palm with a finger.

This move shocked the person in the white fox mask, who quickly took the opportunity to flee.

However, fleeing was just a feint because the person in the white fox mask was waiting for Qi Xuansu to pursue them so that they could slap him with concentrated bouts of sword qi.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to use his arms to block his opponent’s palm strike. However, the sword qi penetrated his body and reached his Qihai acupoint, causing him to stagnate.

During his momentary stagnation, the person in the white fox mask took the opportunity to climb over the railing and jumped down the Jade Tower, which was more than 30 meters tall.

By the time Qi Xuansu dispelled the sword qi in his body and looked down from the railing, his opponent was nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, the noise from their fight had alerted the guards, who rushed upstairs.

Seeing this, Qi Xuansu did not want to give these guards a chance to suspect that he was the murderer. He quickly flashed his badge and ordered, “The murderer has escaped! Chase after the person wearing a white fox mask now!”

The guards were startled and flustered.

The frightened woman who led Qi Xuansu to Jade Tower finally came to her senses and shouted, “Didn’t you hear what this mage said? The murderer is the person who just came out of Miss Hua Qi’s room. Hurry, chase the murderer! What are you all still doing standing there in a daze?!”

The guards turned around and chased after the killer, the whole scene was a mess.

Qi Xuansu picked up his Divine Dragon Pistol, summoned the vengeful ghost, and stopped a few guards. “You guys, come in with me.”

The guards were intimidated by Qi Xuansu, so they followed him into Hua Qi’s room.

The woman accompanied them. The moment she lit the lamp, she gasped at the scene before her.

The famous courtesan was completely naked and left hanging in her room.

Seeing this naked body, the men present were not aroused in the slightest. They were fearful because, like the previous murders, this courtesan had her heart ripped out.

This accounted for the 14th case where the killer blatantly committed murder right under their noses and escaped unscathed.

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment before he instructed, “Take the body down.”

Several guards looked at each other. They dared not disobey Qi Xuansu, so they stepped forward to put the body down.

Qi Xuansu took a candlestick and took a closer look at the corpse. Sure enough, there was a green tropical pitcher plant in the corpse’s chest cavity.
