Chapter 284: Lonely Shadow on the Cold River
"Oh yes, that Impermanence!"

After Xu Shu said this, Tang Ying and Song Yuchun finally remembered it.

The unknown "Impermanence" who had previously killed all the members of Group 10 and turned them into zombies has not appeared yet.

He should still be alive, but no one knows where he is.

"Sir, we'll go with you!" The two women stood up very righteously.

Xu Shu waved his hands hastily: "No need, he is most likely gone, I will go check. You guys go make arrangements for the brothers, their bodies are still warm."

"Ok."

"Then be careful, sir!"

Tang Ying and Song Yuchun thought, not to mention that none of their brothers had any remains left, most of them died without a complete body. Isn't it all because you were too heavy-handed?

Of course they didn't dare say this out loud. They watched Xu Shu quickly walk up the stairs and then looked at each other.

"Yingying, can you believe it? We actually killed a third-level cultivator!" Song Yuchun sighed, seeming he was still frightened by what had just happened.

Tang Ying hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"You can't believe it, can you? I still feel like I'm living in a dream."

Song Yuchun patted his chest.

Others don’t know how powerful Song Nanshou is, but as a member of the Song family, she is very clear that Song Nanshou’s methods are definitely not simple.

He is ruthless and cunning, and has killed many third-level enemies. He is a very experienced "hunter".

Now he actually died at the hands of his second-level juniors, and they only used 30% to 50% of their abilities. They were not able to use any of those terrifying methods that terrified everyone. Who would believe it if he told others about it?

Song Yuchun himself didn't believe it.

Little did she know that if Xu Shu did not have the ability of "spiritual perception", if he had taken one more step back, the chain trap would have been triggered, and all three of them would have died.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world.

Xu Shu saw through Song Nanshou's plan, so if Song Nanshou died, he would live!

Tang Ying said after a while: "No, I believe it."

Song Yuchun was stunned: "Ah?"

"We may have found someone great. This Xu Shu... he is definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe, maybe, I can..."

Tang Ying lowered her head and looked at her skin which had become white again after being nourished by the holy water, biting her lips lightly with her pearly teeth.

Song Yuchun looked at her companion's increasingly charming eyes and couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, "Yingying, do you want to...but he is our boss."

Tang Ying raised her head and chest and said, "Why not? If you meet someone you like, you should pursue them boldly. Stop talking, let's take the bodies of our brothers back quickly."

"Yeah." Song Yuchun nodded, his eyes flickering secretly, silently repeating Tang Ying's words, and clenched his fists.

"Bold pursuit..."

Xu Shu was on the stairs on the fourth floor. He squatted down slightly and picked up a few strangely shaped things that looked like glass blades from the ground. There were a total of six in a set.

After a while, he picked off twelve round beads with patterns on the wall, which could be interlocked with each other.

There are also inconspicuous corners such as wall gaps, window slots, door handles, under shoe cabinets, etc.

Xu Shu drove the "Spiritual Perception" and searched around, and found a lot of strange small parts, filling up a whole box.

There are sharp screws, wall hooks with cold glow, slippers with hidden mechanisms, murals coated with special liquids, black tiles for baseboards, and even a few spiders and geckos the size of little fingers. They look like living things, but are actually made of metal.

"This is the source of the previous sense of crisis. It should be the trap props. Wow, every one of them is made of extraordinary materials. Although they are not cursed tools, they are definitely worth a lot of money..."

"If Song Nanshou were still alive, each of these things would be deadly."

"But once he died, they seemed to have suddenly lost their original function. Could this be the special feature of the Hunter's Path?"

"Hey, Brother Song, you left without saying a word and left so many things behind. I really feel ashamed of it."

Xu Shu quickly put all the "trap props" he had found into a snakeskin bag and put them away. Then he let out a long sigh.

He wasn't pretending; he really felt guilty and helpless.

Originally, Xu Shu really didn't want to fight with Song Nanshou, a third-level master of unknown strength.

Is it worth it for Song Yuchun, whom I have only known for a few minutes?
Obviously not worth it.

Xu Shu even felt that, judging from what Song Yuchun's father had said, his daughter's death was indeed her destiny.

Song Nanshou is already very sad because of the death of his son. It would be fine if you didn't say a few words of comfort, but you are still spreading rumors. You are so uncultured.

So Song Nanshou was so angry that he wanted Song Yuchun's father to pay the price for his words and deeds. There was actually nothing wrong with this.

This is called "trouble comes from the mouth."

Even Xu Shu supported him because he still had some impression of Song Qixing. They had fought together before when they were trapped in the Ksitigarbha illusion in the wasteland.

This guy's strength is indeed not that good, but he has never flinched in battle. Xu Shujing thinks he is a real man.

But what Song Nanshou should never have done was to kill them all.

As the old saying goes, leave a way out for yourself so that you can meet again in the future!
If Song Nanshou hadn't set so many traps and insisted on cutting off Xu Shu's escape route, he might have accomplished what he had done today.

After all, Xu Shu would at least take into consideration the face of his former comrade-in-arms "Song Qixing".

But Song Nanshou insisted on harming innocent passers-by and leaving no chance of survival for others. The end result was that he cut off his own chance of survival.

In this regard, Xu Shu could only say:

"Brother Qixing, I have reunited you and your son. I have done my best. Please don't hate me in the underworld!"

He brushed off the dust on his body, wiped away all traces of the scene, and then transformed himself into a pool of sticky blood, running fast on the ground and climbing up the building.

The first thing to do was to clean up the scene, as compensation for using up another powerful prop today.

The second thing to finish is to see if that "impermanence" is still there.

Just now, after he opened his spiritual vision, he vaguely saw a very thin black shadow escaping from the upstairs, and suspected that it was the "Impermanence".

Xu Shu was a skilled and courageous man, so he immediately chased after him.

Would it be too reckless to go alone?
In fact, this was not recklessness, but Xu Shutai's judgment of the situation based on the opponent's reaction - this person watched the battle between Song Nanshou and the three of them. After Song Nanshou's death, he chose to retreat instead of staying to contain and shake off the opponent. What does this mean?
This meant that he, as well as the rest of their strength, was not as strong as Song Nanshou and could not deal with him.

So he ran away.

This makes sense. Unfortunately, this person made some noise while running and was discovered by Xu Shu.

Relying on the little breath left between them after being attacked by the "zombies", Xu Shu locked onto the opponent's figure firmly, activated the "Blood Sky" state, and followed behind.

Wuchang ran away, Xu Shu chased him, Wuchang could not fly away even if he had wings.

After a while, Xu Shu arrived at the top floor of this Dreamy Hotel, the twelfth floor.

This is also an apartment-style room with open doors on both sides. There are foam boxes everywhere inside, which contain some daily necessities and are covered with dust. It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

When Xu Shu saw the black shadow sneak into room 1208, he twisted his body and moved slowly, like a slippery flat slug, sticking to the ceiling and peeking through the crack in the door.

"With so many people, it looks like I found the right person!" Xu Shu was slightly happy.

The curtains in the room were tightly closed, the lights were off, and only candles were lit for illumination, so there was no way to see the problem from outside the window.

But in fact, there were quite a few people inside, more than twenty, divided into two factions.

One group, about six or seven people, were dressed as canal transport workers, wearing hats and masks, covering their faces tightly so as not to reveal their true features, and their expressions were very serious; the other dozen or so were wearing black clothes and black pants, also wearing hats, but they were eating barbecue and chatting happily, and seemed a little frivolous.

"Strange, could it be that he is really from the Cao Gang?"

"The Cao Gang members are so bold that they dare to attack the people from the Judgment Department! Who gave them the courage?"

"Song Nanshou promised?"

"But why do these men in black look so familiar to me? I've seen them before, it seems..."

Xu Shu was extremely surprised.

But then the black shadow of "Impermanence" entered the house, and in the flickering candlelight, his figure appeared along the wall. He was a young man about twenty-five years old, with handsome features, cold eyes and murderous intent, dressed like a canal worker. From his dress, it was clear that he belonged to the minority.

The men in black raised their heads, glanced at Wu Chang, and nodded slightly.

The rest of the "dredge workers" all stood up and bowed their heads together to greet: "Deacon Yu!"

"Well, something unexpected happened. We may not be able to stay here for long." Wuchang, also known as Deacon Yu, pressed his hand, motioned his subordinates to sit down, and said in a heavy tone.

Among the men in black, a leader with a more dignified temperament asked, "What happened?"

"Those guys were pretty strong, and Song Nanshou died accidentally. I was worried about being discovered, so I didn't stay long." Deacon Yu said.

"The other party is also at level three?" The man in black frowned.

Deacon Yu shook his head: "No, three second-level ones, but they are quite powerful, one judge, one assassin, and one... Tieyi, um, it should be Tieyi. They cooperated very well and killed Song Nanshou."

"Useless thing! If I had known he was such a loser, I shouldn't have started with him. I said the eldest elder of the Song family could be seduced with beauty! Now, it's all in vain. I didn't get any benefit. I can't report it to you." The man in black spat, suddenly glanced up and down at Wuchang, and asked again: "You haven't been discovered, right?"

Deacon Yu sneered: "Do you think you can find me?"

"That's true." The man in black nodded, and after a moment's silence he asked, "When will you retreat?"

"The information they gave us means that they will take action the day after tomorrow, so we should leave tonight," said Deacon Yu.

The man in black was surprised: "So urgent? Didn't you say there was still a week left?"

Deacon Yu said, "Hey, who knows what those crazy guys are up to? We are just joining in the fun this time. What does it have to do with us? Since they want to take action in advance, let's retreat!"

The man in black nodded: "Then I will do one last job tonight and withdraw. They have given me a lot of benefits."

"Brother Qijun, what benefits did that person promise you?" Deacon Yu glanced at the other party.

The man in black flexed his thumb complacently, stretched out four fingers and said, "Not much. In addition to the promised divine blood, I also gave you four extra flawless parasites! Our leader agreed. The mission is completed tonight. As long as I succeed once and summon another chosen one, I will definitely get a parasite! Brother, next time we meet, I will be promoted to warden. You have to call me senior. If you ever feel that you can't make it, you can come to me. We welcome colleagues from the Star Society."

Deacon Yu also smiled: "Then thank you in advance, Senior Cai, for taking care of him! But the crackdown has been so severe recently, I'm afraid your people are too conspicuous, right?"

"Don't worry, they want to catch the White Emperor Army. I'm wearing black clothes, so they can't mess with me. Hahahaha!" Cai Qijun laughed.

"That's right, hahaha, they can still recognize us like this? How is that possible!" The other men in black also burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!" Xu Shu also laughed. He put one hand on Cai Qijun's shoulder and the other hand on Deacon Yu's shoulder. The three of them were like good brothers who had not seen each other for many years.

For a moment, there were laughter and joy, people and horses were falling, black spears were bursting out in the eyes, and people were wailing in pain due to the protruding iron elbows.

The room was filled with the smell of impending death and the pungent smell of blood.

After more than ten minutes, the laughter gradually stopped.

Cai Qijun looked at his subordinates lying on the ground with their hands and feet shattered, and couldn't help swallowing.

His body muscles bulged like a dragon, and he entered the state of "Raging People".

However, under the other party's palm and pressure, he found that he could not move at all, and even had no intention of resisting. He could not help but turn around and ask Xu Shu: "Who are you?"

"Me? How can I introduce myself to you? You wouldn't recognize me even if I told you."

Xu Shu pointed at himself, looked at the only person standing among the workers on the opposite side and said, "Hey, fellow steward, could you please tell him who I am?"

Deacon Yu was sweating profusely. There were eight strange obsidian spears stuck in his body. Spider webs wrapped him like a mummy. He wanted to transform into a ghost, but found that the spider webs were very special and he couldn't transform through them at all.

Damn, I was so careless! When did this guy come? What is this thing he is using? He actually has so many curse tools? !
After his expression changed for a while, Deacon Yu forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Qijun, this is the Tieyi I told you about."

"Oh, that's what you said about killing a level 3 Ironclad." Cai Qijun nodded, then wailed, "Fuck, this is called Ironclad!?"

Snapped!
His body was hit hard all of a sudden, and in an instant he fell headfirst and all over the marble on the ground.

Xu Shu pressed his head and said unhappily, "Speak politely, don't be so rude."

After saying that, Xu Shu raised his hand and waved it, and the Eight Spider Lance exerted force, stabbing Deacon Yu into the ground.

After knocking the two men to the ground, he looked at Deacon Yu and said, "Are you from the Star Society? What a coincidence. I have a lover who is also from the Star Society. She told me to praise the Lord and to resurrect our Lord. But she left before I could listen to her sermon. Can you recite a few jingles for me to hear?"

Deacon Yu was delighted when he heard this: "Then we are one family, brothers! Our Lord was born in destruction, hides in destruction, and descends in destruction! If we destroy everything, we will be able to welcome the Lord's rebirth! We are all Quincy!"

Xu Shu looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to work. The person I'm dating is Xilu Traveler."

“……” Deacon Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

Cai Qijun, who was lying face down beside him, heard this and immediately said, "Brother, brother! I am from the Savior Army. We are in alliance with the Stars. The one you are dating is the Extinct Traveler. We in the Savior Army welcome the Extinct Traveler the most. Brother, uh-huh-bang!"

He was pressed deeper.

"Don't talk, I'm thinking about what you just talked about." Xu Shu sat on the ground, frowning.

"You just said that the plan for the day after tomorrow will be implemented? What plan? And you, Baidizi, every time I see you, you are flirting with the Four Evil Cults. This time in the safe zone, are you planning to summon the evil god?"

"Tell me what happened quickly. If you explain well, I'll let you go. If you don't explain well, hehe."

Xu Shu curled his lips and glared fiercely at the six or seven wounded Quincy who were huddled there and trapped by the "entanglement".

After more than ten seconds, their bodies suddenly began to shrink and turned into rotten meat!
