501: A pleasant surprise from Qian Yuanqing

The guy was too fast. Gu Qinghan didn't even have time to release a skill to attack, so he could only shout toward Qian Yuanqing.

Qian Yuanqing, at this moment, wore a look of surprise, seemingly not expecting himself to shoulder such a great responsibility.

But he didn't dodge. He just gritted his teeth and abruptly pulled toward that direction.

Although he held nothing in his hands, the shadows of the Death Knights nearby suddenly began to transform, turning into a large net that trapped the dark clump of sand.

In less than a second, the black net was instantly broken through, but Gu Qinghan's skill had already arrived.

Three consecutive black greatswords descended from the sky. The first one missed, but the latter two struck the suspicious clump of sand.

Immediately afterward, red blood seeped out from the clump of sand.

"Impossible... how could you find me..."

The sand quickly converged, taking on the appearance of the person Gu Qinghan had seen earlier.

Gu Qinghan merely glanced at him, and immediately, Death Knights surrounded him and executed him.

The Death Knights formed a circle, and Gu Qinghan released the Soul-Capturing Ghost General to extract this person's soul.

The act of soul-capturing was still somewhat shocking, so Gu Qinghan felt it was better to keep it slightly hidden.

During this process, he also checked the opponent's storage ring and, sure enough, found the corpse of the Cleric from before.

A few minutes later, Gu Qinghan put away the Soul-Capturing Ghost General and walked out from the encirclement of the Death Knights.

He had already obtained the information he wanted: the people from the Cleric Alliance had indeed infiltrated these teams.

"This one was Number Fifteen, so now only Number Two through Number Twelve are left alive."

"However, that wheel of destiny is quite good..."

From the soul of the person just now, Gu Qinghan learned about the existence of the wheel of destiny.

At the same time, Gu Qinghan understood something else: Number Two had actually told them not to act rashly last night.

But the wheel of destiny seemed to require the corpse of a Cleric to operate, which was why this person secretly went to retrieve the body and ended up exposing himself.

He also generally learned what Number Two and the others were currently disguised as and which national teams they were stationed in.

In the Huaguo team, there was only one Cleric from the Cleric Alliance.

The remaining eleven Clerics were stationed in the other three directions, distributed in groups of three, four, and four.

Additionally, some Professionals from the Cleric Alliance were also lurking among these people, but they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Is Number Two on the left? I'll take him out first; the others can be killed slowly."

"In fact, as long as Number Two is killed first, it doesn't matter if the others run away."

Gu Qinghan was incredibly envious of that wheel of destiny. A world-ending grade item

—an existence he had never even seen!

Of course, if possible, he still wanted to kill the other Clerics, as that represented several opportunities for a lottery draw.

But here was the problem: these people were all Clerics, and trying to kill them would definitely cause a significant commotion.

Even the isolated guy just now was like that, so three or four Clerics gathered together would certainly attract a lot of attention.

Gu Qinghan was confident he could absolutely crush them in a one-on-one fight, but would these people give him that chance?

Gu Qinghan was also very confident in a one-against-many scenario, but it would definitely draw the attention of everyone else remaining.

Just when he was feeling somewhat troubled, he suddenly saw Qian Yuanqing standing nearby, looking at him curiously.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up to the other man and asked:

"Good brother, your skill is quite interesting. Do you have any way to conceal our presence?"

Although Qian Yuanqing looked somewhat sleazy, his move just now had genuinely impressed Gu Qinghan.

Although he only slightly restrained that Cleric, doing so against a Cleric was already quite good.

Qian Yuanqing nodded and said to Gu Qinghan:

"I have a skill that can temporarily raise a black fog in the surrounding area, isolating most sound and vision."

"However, this skill is very resource-intensive, takes a long time to prepare, and has no offensive capability."

Gu Qinghan's eyes lit up—wasn't this exactly the skill he needed?

But he quickly realized something, stared at the other man for a few moments, and asked:

"You couldn't possibly be that Number Three on the rankings, Qian Yuanqing, could you?"

"I don't know if I'm Number Three on the rankings, but I can now confirm that you are the Number One, Gu Han."

Qian Yuanqing still looked sleazy. He suddenly pulled out a pen and handed it to Gu Qinghan, his face full of excitement:

"Quick, sign this for me! Holy cow, a living Number One on the rankings!"

Gu Qinghan waved his hand, a black line forming over his head, signaling that this matter could wait until later.

He recalled the details of the interaction between the other man and himself just now, and still dismissed the somewhat ridiculous idea.

A genuine Number Three on the rankings would absolutely not have his skill easily broken through by the guy who was clearly one of the Low-level Clerics just now.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said to Qian Yuanqing:

"Good brother, I feel a connection with you. I invite you to undertake a major task with me right now."

"In a moment, you'll come with me. Wherever I tell you to use your skill, you use it there. Leave the rest to me."

"Afterward, you definitely won't be shortchanged on rewards."

"Are you going to kill people again?" Qian Yuanqing took half a step back.

"They are all guys from the Cleric Alliance. I have a reason why I must kill them."

Gu Qinghan couldn't be bothered to explain anything. Qian Yuanqing genuinely emitted an aura that made him inexplicably trusting.

This feeling was strange, but Gu Qinghan truly couldn't harbor any hostility toward him.

Qian Yuanqing thought about it, and finally said:

"It's fine if I help, but you have to look out for me in the future."

"Having the number one on the three rankings as my brother gives me a lot of face."

Gu Qinghan had already somewhat adapted to this guy's obliviousness, so he quickly agreed.

He then looked at the Professionals around him who hadn't dared to move, thought for a moment, and said:

"Keep what just happened buried inside you. If you ruin my plan, no one here will be able to escape, understand?"

The moment his voice fell, these people nodded furiously, afraid that being a second slow would cause Gu Qinghan to target them.

Gu Qinghan didn't hesitate at all and immediately led Qian Yuanqing toward the direction where Number Two and the others were located.

He was certain that there were no people from the Cleric Alliance among these individuals.

The biggest reason they had joined this team was simply fear of death and wanting to sneak in some rewards.

Gu Qinghan had already demonstrated his power; now, all he needed was a slight threat, and this group would keep their mouths tightly shut.

Giants were still constantly appearing, but Gu Qinghan was taking Qian Yuanqing and rushing quickly toward his destination.

Most people did not know that while an earth-shattering battle was erupting inside the Giant Palace, the battlefield outside was about to be shrouded in a storm of blood and gore.
