Chapter 192 Blade Duel at Cang Lin 8

The yell and pebble changed the situation instantly. Just as everyone present was stunned by this sudden arrival, the person in the dark suddenly leaped into the open. Where he appeared from was the exact opposite from the direction of the yelling. He did not show up near the location where Si Yanran was fighting Passing Rain but appeared several meters behind Feng Bujue.

The man had on the same outfit as the dead Wang Ao on the ground. They wore the same green outfit. Since he moved very fast and intended to hide his identity, even the closest Feng Bujue did not see his face clearly. All he knew was that the new arrival had a square face, possessed a large and muscular body, and was a kung fu expert.

Feng Bujue snapped out of it. He quickly turned around and moved into defense mode, but this new arrival’s target was not him at all. The new arrival roared as he extended his palm and hit the dead body on the ground. He had been channeling this strike for a long time, and when it connected, the strike sounded like thunder in the air.

Feng Bujue understood the man’s intention directly, but he was too powerless to do anything. Wang Ao’s body practically exploded under the man’s aggressive strikes. Half of the body where the darts poked out shattered into pieces, and the guts splattered everywhere.

After the man did that, he turned and yelled at Si Yanran, "Let’s go!"

Then, he aimed a palm strike at the space before Feng Bujue, trying to force the latter back. The situation dawned on Si Yanran as well. She knew who the new arrival was. Therefore, she turned and escaped. At the same time, she threw out about ten darts to cover her escape.

The darts were weak in terms of force and speed. There were merely many of them, and they covered a large area. Xiao Tan and Passing Rain who were close to her had to either retreat or block them. Si Yanran’s real purpose was to escape, so she focused most of her energy on her Qinggong, and the darts were merely to buy her some time.

The man and Si Yanran rushed in two different directions, and they both launched an attack while retreating. This meant that the players could not catch up to them even if they wanted to. With their expert Qinggong, of the five players, the only one who could catch up to them was Feng Bujue, and that was only if he could maintain Body Enhancement Spell for a long time. Passing Rain’s physical ability was better than Brother Jue’s, but she did not have the necessary status support. With just her pure physical ability, she was not going to reach these two’s speed. That was probably possible only when she was level twenty-five but definitely not yet.

"What just happened?" Xiao Tan asked.

Before Feng Bujue answered him, Laughing Soul walked over and explained, "You still haven’t understood it? Someone is planning to push this blame onto us."

Feng Bujue searched the half of the body that was still rather intact and tried to find some personal effects.

"...Destroy the body." He continued in a surprisingly admiring tone. "Now that the body is in this state, they can easily claim that we killed him, and he and that woman just so happened to arrive and got into a severe fight with us. That was how the darts ended up lying around the area.

"Humph... before that man rushed out, he had been observing the situation for a very long time, and the solution covered all possible complications. At the dangerous moment, he yelled to distract our attention, and then he leaped forth and attacked the part of the body where the hidden weapons were poking through, destroying it with one move.

"If the body was untainted, one can tell the difference between when a hidden weapon was shot into the body when the target was still alive and when a hidden weapon was poked into the flesh after the target died. They could do so by tracing the vital wounds. But now... even if we are in possession of these hidden weapons, they cannot explain anything. With how the body looks now, you could even claim that he was killed by a wild beast."

"Then, will we take the blame no matter what?" Atobe-sama asked.

"It doesn’t matter regardless," Feng Bujue replied. He did not find anything on the body. He stood up and shrugged. "There is no telling whether is a good thing or a bad thing..."

"What do you mean by that, Brother Jue?" Xiao Tan asked.

At this point, Passing Rain added, "You want to use this as a bluff?"

"Clever." Feng Bujue smiled and winked at her.

Laughing Soul added, "Well, that is an idea..."

Atobe-sama looked at them with befuddlement. "Can you all stop communicating in riddles? What are you talking about now‽"

Feng Bujue turned to him and Xiao Tan. He smiled. "Ha... you’ll see when tomorrow comes."
