198: Chapter 198 One More Time

"When we were in the dormitory, you asked the same question."

Chu Xuan met Qin Qing's autumn-water-like eyes and said softly, "It's not that I don't want to leave, but that I have no choice but to stay."

"So, did you receive another System mission?" Qin Qing asked, raising an eyebrow.

Chu Xuan shook his head. "I am guided by Heaven's Secret; Azure Dragon intends to kill me. He has been hiding in the shadows, and I cannot defend against him or escape. My only path is to kill him in return."

"So that's it! We were just saying that Han Cheng's time of death was too coincidental, especially since Ming Xiucheng was the first to see Han Cheng's corpse. The only suspicious point is, why wasn't he worried that the Night Demon would truly promote to an S-rank Specter..."

Qin Qing thought thoughtfully, "If Ming Xiucheng is Azure Dragon, then everything makes sense. The people of the Resurrection Society have Specters inside them, so they can't be judged by common sense."

"No! The reason Ming Xiucheng isn't worried about the appearance of an S-rank Specter is because he is confident enough to kill the Night Demon!"

Chu Xuan's words immediately drew the attention of Qin Qing and Zhao Hongchan.

Next, Chu Xuan told the two about Ming Xiucheng's Hunting skill, which could trigger an instant-death effect after Marking a target ten times.

After speaking, Chu Xuan looked at the two and asked, "I just don't know if Ming Xiucheng has ever Marked you ten times... Do you feel anything?"

Qin Qing and Zhao Hongchan looked at each other, then both shook their heads, their eyes full of shock.

"He actually has this ability? He hid it too well..."

"But how do you know all this?"

Zhao Hongchan asked suspiciously, "Could this also be an ability of your Heaven's Secret? According to what you said before, the ability of Heaven's Secret is to let you sense things that threaten your life in the dark, give you vague guidance, and even let you obtain opportunities..."

Chu Xuan said, "So when I learned of Ming Xiucheng's talent through the sensing of Heaven's Secret, I was also suspicious of him, but before that, I still needed to confirm something."

"Confirm what?" Qin Qing asked.

"Confirm that you are not Azure Dragon, and that you do not have a Specter inside you!"

As soon as Chu Xuan said this, both of their expressions changed, and their gazes toward Chu Xuan became very subtle.

Chu Xuan fiddled with his phone and asked without looking up, "Qin Qing, before this, didn't you only dare to communicate with me through spiritual consciousness? Why are you speaking freely now?"

"My spirit attribute has recovered a bit, so I can isolate our conversation. If someone probes, I will be able to detect it immediately."

Qin Qing frowned, "What did you mean by your words just now? Are you suspicious of us?"

Chu Xuan pointed to the baby in Zhao Hongchan's arms. "Azure Dragon can use some means to monitor targets through people who have Specters inside them... From this perspective, Zhao Hongchan, as the person being monitored, you shouldn't have any problems, but I still want to confirm."

[ Ji Ni Tai Mei... ]

A passionate and surging piece of music played from Chu Xuan's phone.

The next instant, a mist of blood exploded.

The baby in Zhao Hongchan's arms disappeared, and Zhao Hongchan herself appeared to be in a state of madness, her whole body wreathed in flames, as if she had walked out of Hell, roaring as she engaged in battle with Tang Zheng.

This three-story villa became dilapidated and messy in the blink of an eye, with a large hole piercing through from the third floor to the first floor.

"Is this the power of Berserk..."

Chu Xuan still remembered that Zhao Hongchan's sequence skill was Berserk. At this moment, she had turned into a human of fire, adding even more wildness and ferocity.

However, it was a pity that Tang Zheng in the Fighting God State feared hand-to-hand combat the least. In just over ten seconds, the fire person was beaten until she dissipated three times, and the flames surrounding her body were reduced significantly.

"Chu Xuan, what are you doing? Tell Tang Zheng to stop!"

A sharp shout rang out from the side. Blood spilled from the corner of Qin Qing's mouth, and silver light flashed in her eyes.

However, Chu Xuan remained unmoved.

Qin Qing's face was shocked. "How is this possible? Your spirit attribute..."

"Sorry, my personal Rank is 5, and my Heart Bewitchment Rank is 3. Your ability is almost useless against me. If you were in your prime, I might be a bit wary, but now..."

Chu Xuan sighed softly. "In my impression, you were the least likely to have problems, but I have decided to kill everyone once; no one will be an exception! And next, I need you to help me do a very important thing. To be safe, I have to kill you once first."

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are saying..."

Qin Qing looked at Chu Xuan in disbelief. Before she could finish speaking, Chu Xuan had already drawn his blade.

Half a minute later, Qin Qing's eyes were wide open, dying with lingering resentment, and she had not turned into a Specter until her death.

"Sorry, I killed the wrong person. I will help you obtain your special grade life recovery potion when I have a chance."

Chu Xuan looked at Qin Qing's corpse on the ground, and after a few seconds, slowly sheathed his blade.

At this moment, the villa under his feet made a loud rumbling sound, collapsing.

Chu Xuan leaped out and looked back, only to see Tang Zheng walking out from the charred ruins, carrying a broken figure in his hand, which he threw over.

"Zhao Hongchan was beaten to death by me. She didn't recover in a second-stage state, didn't turn into a White Falcon to escape, and in the end, there was no trend of her becoming a Specter."

Tang Zheng's face was pale, and he was very puzzled. "Chu Xuan, what exactly do you want to do? The talent time limit wasn't enough just now, and it was delayed by a few seconds, but I have no spirituality value left; I'm purely overdrawing my body, and I can't take you out of here anymore."

While speaking, alarm sounds had already rung out all around, and countless soldiers with live ammunition surrounded them, with two armed helicopters hovering in the sky.

"I have a plan..."

Chu Xuan did not continue, because [Future Tang Zheng] had already sent a message.

[Tang Zheng: Damn it! I don't know when I was Marked ten times by Azure Dragon; this is Ming Xiucheng's ability! No wonder he could escape from my hands every time; it turns out he could always sense my location through the Marking. This bastard is too cowardly; he never used this ability, which meant I didn't even have time to use my substitute-death item! Fortunately, I have a special skill that locked my last bit of health, otherwise I would have really died just now!]

Chu Xuan frowned slightly: [What is the situation now?]

[Tang Zheng: He escaped; I'm afraid I can't catch up. I am currently in a near-death state, relying entirely on extraordinary equipment to continue fighting... Damn! Chu Huan is here; this thing is too sinister; he wants to take us all out! Give me one more chance, I will definitely succeed!]

[Chu Xuan: Then let's do it one more time!]

Chu Xuan's expression was calm. It just so happened that he also needed to die once here so he could continue to verify the composition of the other team members in today's dream.

The prompt from [Future Tang Zheng] was certainly important, but he would not place all his hope on others. His life was his own, and no matter what, he had to actively grasp and strive for it.

Putting down his phone, Chu Xuan turned his eyes to the soldiers who had surrounded them tightly. Countless gun barrels were aimed at them, and many of the team members who had already returned were extremely shocked when they looked over.

Ming Xiucheng stood in a helicopter, looking down at Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng below, his eyes full of anger.

"Chu Xuan, what should we do?" Tang Zheng said anxiously, "We are finished this time!"

"It's no big deal, don't panic."

Chu Xuan drew his pistol from his waist. This action immediately startled the soldiers so much that they almost fired directly. Fortunately, Ming Xiucheng raised his hand to stop them, so there was no accidental discharge.

"Surrender!" Ming Xiucheng said coldly. "Put down the gun, and I will give you a chance to explain."

Click!

Pulling the slide, he aimed the muzzle at his own temple, and Chu Xuan smiled calmly, "See you next time!"

Bang!!

...

...

"Never trust anyone!"

"..."

Chu Xuan woke up again. 100 spirituality value points were deducted, leaving 810 points.

The time was still five o'clock, and [Future Tang Zheng] sent a message immediately:

[Chu Xuan, I already know where Azure Dragon will go next. I'm going over there to intercept him now. This time I have prepared a substitute-death item; I will definitely succeed!]
