107: Disguise, sneak attack
"Team Leader, Su Ting has already fainted!"
Wang An looked at Zhou Xinyang anxiously, "If we don't rescue him now, I'm afraid Su Ting won't make it!"
He Qiang also urged, "If this person is really the murderer disguised as Su Ting…"
"Why would he expose the fact that he can disguise himself? Isn't he just making us suspicious of him for no reason?"
Hearing the two say this, Zhou Xinyang's expression became conflicted.
His relationship with Su Ting was average. The two only knew each other.
But after all, he was the team leader responsible for the safety of the students in this research group.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xinyang sighed, "In that case, go ahead and rescue him. I'll stay here and keep an eye out for any lurking murderer."
Upon hearing this, Wang An and the other felt relieved and hurriedly stepped forward.
The two helped Su Ting up, took out a bottle of healing potion, and fed it to him.
Watching this scene, Zhou Xinyang furrowed his brows deeply.
This person, could he really not be the murderer? Could it be that I was wrong?
About a quarter of an hour later, Su Ting slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Zhou Xinyang, who was keeping his distance, with grief and indignation, "Team Leader, you must avenge our classmates!"
"That murderer is truly scum; all the girls present were toyed with by him before being brutally murdered!"
Wang An's eyes widened like copper bells, his anger soaring, "What a beast! So many girls were defiled by him?!!!"
Some of them were not just classmates. Among these powerful girls, there were even some that Wang An admired.
Hearing that the girls had been molested and brutally murdered, Wang An felt his blood boiling!
Su Ting said with a hint of a sob, filled with grief and indignation, "The men didn't even have the qualification to be molested; they were killed on the spot!"
He Qiang shuddered upon hearing this. However, at that time, perhaps dying directly was actually a relief.
Zhou Xinyang also slowly set aside a bit of his suspicion. Mainly because Su Ting's weak aura didn't seem fake.
And if he really was an imposter, there would be no need to demean himself to this point, right?
Time passed slowly, and the sky turned dark.
"Everything here has been destroyed. I'll go catch a Demonic Beast for dinner. You guys take good care of Su Ting."
After speaking, Zhou Xinyang stood up and walked outside. At this moment, Zhou Xinyang paused and looked at the three of them, "Tomorrow morning, we will return to the academy and report everything that happened here to the teachers."
Hearing this, Wang An and the other, who had been worried about their own situation, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Up until now, they didn't even know what the murderer looked like or where he was. Going against such an enemy, they were afraid they wouldn't even know how they died.
And while Zhou Xinyang was speaking, he had been carefully observing Su Ting's reaction. However, he was surprised to see a sense of relief on Su Ting's face.
This scene made Zhou Xinyang lower his guard once again. If it really were the murderer disguised as Su Ting, that would be too terrifying!
I'm afraid even many actors wouldn't have such acting skills. If he could really remain calm in the face of danger to this extent, no matter how he tested him, the other party probably wouldn't show any flaws.
Zhou Xinyang left with peace of mind and returned ten minutes later carrying the carcass of a huge tiger.
With the help of Wang An and He Qiang, they started a fire, cooked, and had a hearty meal.
"Here, you're injured now and need to nourish yourself." Wang An handed a bowl of hot meat soup to Su Ting.
Su Ting took the meat soup with a grateful expression and drank it without any precautions.
Not far away, He Qiang whispered to Zhou Xinyang, "Team Leader, is there a need to be this cautious?"
Throughout the day, he couldn't remember how many times Zhou Xinyang had tested the other party. Every time, the result was that Su Ting was not the murderer in disguise.
This time, the other party even drank the meat soup they had laced with a sleeping potion without worry. It wouldn't be long before he fell into a deep sleep.
Su Ting had finally managed to become a survivor, yet he had to endure endless testing. Just thinking about it made him feel tired.
"When you're out and about, having an extra bit of caution never hurts." Zhou Xinyang gave He Qiang a look.
Helplessly, He Qiang had to go to Su Ting's side. Then he drew his battle saber and slashed down!
Bang! Before hitting Su Ting, the battle saber slightly adjusted its direction and struck the ground. Gravel splattered everywhere, but no one was hurt.
"Alright, get some rest early." Seeing this, Zhou Xinyang waved his hand and lowered his guard.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night. Su Ting, who should have been in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes inside the tent.
This Su Ting was naturally Li Canglan, who had infiltrated by disguising himself with a mask.
The previous tests were manageable. That slash before bed really gave him a scare!
If he hadn't been confident that his disguise was flawless, he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist dodging He Qiang's slash. If that had happened, his disguise would have been wasted.
Fortunately, he managed to endure it in the end. And what awaited Zhou Xinyang and the others was death!
Li Canglan looked at Wang An, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Wang An seemed to be having some kind of sweet dream, with a lewd smile on his face. Even at the corner of his mouth, there was some undried drool.
He reached out his hand and snapped Wang An's neck with a crack.
"Dying in a sweet dream can be considered a good thing." Li Canglan chuckled inwardly and quietly moved toward the other tent.
With the Meteor Cloud Steps at his disposal, he didn't cause any commotion in the dead of night. Looking at the silent tent on the other side, Li Canglan took a deep breath.
"It's time for this to end!"
The next instant, he activated his Gluttony Desire and shattered the five fire-attribute cores in his hand!
The more energy that poured into the ring, the greater the power it would unleash! This was knowledge he had learned on the Martial Artist forum!
Boom! A scorching inferno swept out, like a sea of fire descending, instantly burning the tent to ashes!
"Damn it, the murderer is here!" In the sea of fire, a figure roared and charged out.
Li Canglan's eyes narrowed, "A Three-Star Martial Artist, as expected, they aren't that easy to kill!"
Although this ring could unleash a full-power strike of a Three-Star Martial Artist, it wasn't that simple to instantly kill a Martial Artist of the same level.
The fangtian halberd flew out of the spatial ring, emitting a crisp humming sound. Li Canglan held the halberd horizontally and swung it violently.
Bang! The halberd collided suddenly with the rushing Zhou Xinyang, emitting a heavy clashing sound. The powerful shockwave even pushed down the surrounding flames.
Li Canglan took seven or eight steps back before steadying himself. Zhou Xinyang also retreated seven or eight steps.
However, Li Canglan's goal had been achieved. As long as he was in the sea of fire, Zhou Xinyang would have to continuously endure the damage from the flames!
