Chapter 2558: Chapter 2553: Gravity Breath
Not bad, the initial effects are manifesting.
The little face was grotesque, but at that moment, to face the burlap doll with just one mouth, Fu Qian felt true solace.
It couldn’t be mistaken, belonging to some Night Watchman’s second phase item, this time Engraving Wisdom revealed new elements.
Even combining Ah Fei’s previous feedback, the laughter likely originated from this object, as its size definitely suits a child.
In summary, just upon setting off, a remarkable achievement was made; Ah Fei helpfully found traces left by the Night Watchman here.
Indeed, the main reason should be that this time the content of Engraving Wisdom was richer; if knocking on doors one by one, there’s likely a small chance of discovering this object.
But on one hand, it might not decisively hit the Yellow Dragon, and on the other, the Yellow Dragon might not be so lively—
"Hee-hee... Hee-hee-hee..."
The next moment, Fu Qian also heard the laughter Ah Fei spoke of.
Synchronized with it, the researcher who looked up had an exaggerated, raised smile.
Manipulation is quite meticulous.
For Fu Qian, it was easy to judge that there wasn’t even out-of-sync sound and image, with the smiling face and laughter perfectly coordinated.
Yet the more perfect it was, the more intense the bizarre and haunting feeling became.
The body already felt completely like a burlap doll controlled by strings.
Not only defying Heavenly Gang, but even the level of seductive fluidity almost made one want to praise "A minute on stage, ten years off-stage."
Hiss——
Unfortunately, these days it seems popular to burn the qin and stew the crane.
Faced with such an amazing performance, Ah Fei’s reaction was merely to step forward, his hand weapon directly slashing out.
...
Blood Saber, Residual Steps, Soul Splitting.
Blood was on the saber, but it was his own.
Lackluster limbs, even staggered and twisted steps.
Yet the power behind the combination strike was irresistibly straightforward, splitting souls—
In human terms, the target Ah Fei locked on wasn’t the humanoid puppet, but the doll on its shoulder.
No wonder he was chosen by the Evil God’s will, regardless of how messed up he was, Ah Fei seemed perpetually to be a blade drawn.
Slaughtering was his essence, no matter how corroded he was.
This purity was so infectious that Fu Qian even felt his language capacities were slightly affected, particularly favoring short sentences.
In a nutshell, faced with the sudden appearance of monstrous beings, Ah Fei without hesitation slashed out a slaughtering strike so strong it bullied the smaller opponent.
Moreover, there was no intention to rescue the puppet, for even if the other side didn’t react, that slash would be enough to sever the arm of the person below.
Hee-hee...
Certainly, there was a reaction; amidst another string of laughter, the burlap doll directly vanished.
...
Bloodlight erupted.
After all, it was merely a middle-tier slashing attack and not capable of soul lock effects or the like.
With the target disappearing, the cruelty accumulated to the extreme instantly lost color.
However, even the residual momentum that was too late to retract easily tore apart half the shoulder of the researcher.
And the exposed tissue demonstrated that it was still flesh, not a lifelike prop.
Moreover, it seemed Ah Fei wasn’t the type to one-sidedly tyrannize, opting not to continue slaughtering, but immediately retracting his weapon, shifting to a defensive posture.
Ding—
This style undoubtedly saved him; almost the next moment, as his weapon slashed backward, an unusual crisp sound echoed, like stardust night shattering.
There was indeed dim radiance scattered and burst, as if a Star Dust Spear had indeed been flying toward him — it did.
As a tentacle observer, even if the attack was so obscure, Fu Qian effortlessly perceived it, even specifically sidestepping.
And Ah Fei indeed endured the test, defending against dark arrows, the longsword indestructible.
This insidious ambush failed — ding!
Even the second ambush did too.
Survivors from near-death typically relax, and the second Star Dust Spear was even less inconspicuous than the first, seemingly exploiting humanity’s vulnerability.
Regrettably, it was still precisely blocked by Ah Fei.
No surprise.
Ah Fei certainly wasn’t emotionless, just that when holding a sword, such things were completely stripped away.
Witnessing such a scene, Fu Qian found it appropriate.
Once pureness is achieved, immunity to certain things follows.
While the method was rather treacherous, in his view, Ah Fei discovering the ambush was unsurprising.
Let alone the laughter even came from that direction.
Indeed, equally naive yet filled with malice, when Ah Fei’s sword didn’t hit, laughter already emanated from some position outside the door.
...
The Hunter seemed to have met a tenacious adversary.
Cunning dodges, puppet control, ranged assassinations.
For most close combat experts, characters like this undeniably cause headaches, not to mention being crippled and gravely wounded.
Hiss——
Just as Fu Qian was analyzing the critical situation, new movements already emerged.
The researcher sitting initially was still seated, but his chest ballooned, inhaling an exaggerated breath.
Puppet’s effectiveness even in such circumstances?
Anyone witnessing this could foresee he was preparing for something formidable.
Lacking initiative and besieged from both sides, even Ah Fei found it hard to intervene.
Exhale——
Amongst vigilance, that breath was exhaled... but?
In that instant, even Ah Fei appeared somewhat bewildered.
Either simply meant to intimidate, or the skill effects failed.
Forget about exaggerated ice-fire-thunder, even the airflow sounded ordinary, hardly superior to a yawn—
Crash!
Fortunately, that confusion swiftly resolved, the next moment various instruments suddenly soared, all converging toward the researcher’s seat, worsening the already chaotic lab.
Gravity Breath?
An extremely peculiar scene, but Fu Qian as an observer and breath specialist easily derived an analogy.
The researcher’s mouth indeed didn’t release anything visible, not even a breath.
But compared to his action, direction, and even affected items’ range, it seemingly portrayed him spreading a negative effect this way.
The specific outcome was adding a strong attraction to all items encompassed, clustering them before him, making Fu Qian think of a concept not foreign to Stargazers.
Interesting, feeling as if the entire world was turning abstract.
Even though lacking cool visual effects or direct lethality, appearing at this moment certainly wasn’t for clowning —
Crack!
A stone platform was shattered by force, yet Ah Fei still couldn’t halt his body from being drawn, pulled further away from the door.
