C35 Sinner's Guilt

He should be dead, right?

Zhang Ping looked at the masked man's tattered corpse from afar and muttered in his heart.

He was really scared.

The masked man's attack just now almost took his life.

Actually, the electric eel snake poison that the masked man had high hopes for was ineffective against him. Although water itself was an electrolyte, the electrolysis speed was very slow, and the electricity's damage to him was also quite limited. What truly threatened him was the high temperature caused by the short-circuiting of the dagger.

The steam that appeared from his body at that time was the best proof.

Fortunately, the eastern side of Pearl City was the Changsha River, so the air was humid at night. In addition, the water vapor that he himself evaporated would also increase the humidity in the air. Although he was injured, he was not completely injured.

At this time, he glanced at the masked man and confirmed that the masked man had not moved. He then quickly took out a bucket of water from the Gold Treasury and poured it on top of his head. The originally small bucket of water quickly absorbed water and expanded, finally returning to its original size.

He put away the bucket and circled around the masked man from afar. Then, he bent down and picked up the Fear War Scythe on the ground.

"Is he really dead?"

Zhang Ping held the scythe and looked at the masked man again, thinking uncertainly.

He deliberately exposed two flaws twice, but the masked man still laid on the ground motionlessly.

However, he still didn't dare to approach the masked man. Instead, he carefully condensed the Nether Fog flying dagger and shot it over.

Puchi!

The masked man was hit once again, but he was still lying on the ground motionlessly.

It was as if this person did not have any fear. From the moment he was hit until now, he did not show any signs of fear.

Zhang Ping was unable to determine if the masked man was still alive through his emotions. Thus, after considering for a moment, he threw out another Nether Fog flying dagger from afar. This dagger landed right on the masked man's butt.

"Alright... Kill me, and give me a quick death." The masked man's body trembled slightly, and he said with difficulty.

Zhang Ping was really shocked and said in surprise, "Damn, he's not dead yet!"

He was just being more cautious, but in fact, he did not think that the masked man could still live after suffering such injuries.

Who knew that the masked man was actually still alive? This was too scary.

The vitality of an Awakened was too tenacious.

At this moment, Zhang Ping had a new understanding of the Awakened. He could not treat the Awakened as an ordinary person. Whether it was their superpowers or their life forms, the Awakened was an existence that surpassed his common sense.

He recovered his flesh and blood, and a ball of flames appeared in his hand. As he absorbed the flames to recover his strength, he observed the situation of the masked man.

In fact, the masked man's body was like a tattered bag. His entire body was covered in wounds, and blood flowed all over the ground. It was impossible for a normal person like him to survive.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would actually fall into the hands of a coward like you." The masked man struggled to open his eyes and looked at Zhang Ping with disdain.

Zhang Ping was not prepared to talk to the masked man. He knew very well that he could not get any information out of him.

Not only did he not advance, he even took a few steps back. Then, he condensed the Nether Fog flying dagger and shot it towards the masked man's vital points.

The masked man blocked the flying dagger with difficulty and sighed deeply.

"He's really cautious. He is clearly a rookie, but he didn't fall for it in the end."

The masked man laughed bitterly. In the next moment, he smashed the ring on his index finger.

Danger!

Zhang Ping's hair stood on end. He quickly retreated, and at the same time, the Nether Fog completely wrapped around him.

Most of the time, he relied on the fact that his body was made of pure water and could ignore most of the attacks, so he did not need to use the Nether Fog to defend himself. In his opinion, using the Nether Fog to defend himself was a waste.

But now, he could not afford to waste it. He had to resist this wave of attacks first.

Boom!

A thunderclap.

A flashing lightning bolt fell from the sky, and the entire street shook violently.

The masked man was the center of the lightning. His body was quickly reduced to ashes in the lightning. The surrounding houses were also affected. The glass windows were all shattered, and many residents who were sleeping were awakened and screamed in fear.

The temperature of the entire street quickly rose. Zhang Ping retreated crazily, and the mist that wrapped around his body was constantly being consumed.

Ten seconds later, the lightning disappeared, and the entire alleyway caved in. There were obvious cracks on the walls of the surrounding houses, and the air was filled with the smell of ozone.

The Nether Fog turned into a black cloak in an instant. Zhang Ping floated on the roof of a house in bewilderment as he looked at the street that had been blasted by lightning. His heart was beating violently.

So that's how it is. It doesn't affect the target, but changes the surrounding environment instead. It can deceive the eyes of my Moon Clan. What a good idea.

Not good.

His ears twitched slightly as he looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. The commotion was too big, and the Sky Fox was alarmed.

"Sisi, retreat quickly. The Sky Fox is about to come out!" He quickly took out his badge and contacted Liu Sishan.

Without waiting for Liu Sishan's reply, he put away the badge and immediately turned around to escape.

...

Ten seconds ago, in the City Lord's Mansion.

Moon Prince jumped out of the window and stared at the direction where the lightning was falling. Even with the light screen blocking it, he could still feel the fluctuation of the lightning.

"So that's how it is. It doesn't work on the target, but changes the surrounding environment instead, and deceives the eyes of my Moon Clan. What an excellent idea." Moon Prince narrowed his long fox eyes and said slowly.

In the next moment, his eyes widened as the tail behind him quickly grew longer. At the same time, the tail split into two, and the densely-packed tail spread out towards the entire city like a huge, impenetrable net.

These tails slowly fell down, and then red eyes opened on the tails.

In the headquarters of the Cleaning Team.

Inside the barrier, a girl wearing camouflage clothes was sitting on a recliner. She was controlling the black screen with both hands. Suddenly, she frowned and said, "Not good. The Sky Fox is acting strangely, but I don't know what happened."

A girl beside her closed her eyes. There was light circulating around her, and she quickly said, "Xu Jie, contact Sisi."

"No, Judy, just take Sisi and leave." Not far away, a woman in a swimsuit who was bathed in the light said.

The camouflage girl, Judy, hesitated for a second before she decisively activated her ability.

In Pearl City, Liu Sishan, who was fighting against the man with red eyes, was instantly enveloped by a black screen. The next moment, she was teleported to a secret room. She was stunned for a moment before she took out her badge and contacted Judy. She asked, "Judy, what are you doing?"

"Sky Fox is acting strangely. I can't let Sisi continue to take risks!" Judy said seriously.

Liu Sishan frowned and said, "Then you should save Zhang Ping first. Where is he?"

"He has already escaped into a canal. There is no problem with his safety," Judy replied.

Although Pearl City did not have a sewer, there were many drainage canals. The Pearl City had just had a heavy rain the day before, so most of the drainage canals were filled with water. Zhang Ping's body was made of pure water, so it was extremely difficult to find him.

He was still listening carefully, hoping that the Wind Speaker would bring him the latest news.

On the other side, the red-eyed man did not expect his troublesome opponent to suddenly leave. He was stunned for a moment before he turned around and ran with Chen Junting in his arms. However, after a few steps, he suddenly stopped. A beautiful girl in front of him was looking at him with a smile.

"Lo... Lo Shiyu!" The man recognized the girl.

He knew that the girl had died a long time ago, and the one replacing her was... Moon Prince!

"You know me?" Moon Prince looked down at the man and asked with narrowed eyes.

The man retreated while gritting his teeth. "Of course I do. I'm the most dazzling genius in Pearl Ability Academy this year. How could I not know you? What do you want?"

"You're wrong."

Moon Prince suddenly rolled the man up with his tail and pulled him in front of him.

He stared at the man's sweaty face and asked, "You are not with those people. There was a fight here just now. The other person who attacked me was with those people who killed my compatriots, so you fought here... for her?"

As he spoke, he walked to a wall and gently touched the cut marks on the wall. He had seen this kind of mark on a member of the Moon Clan before.

He moved closer and sniffed, then continued, "The other person is a woman. I remember this smell. Tell me, why are you fighting over this woman?"

"Lo Shiyu, I don't understand what you're talking about. Let me go, or... you will die miserably." The man was trembling, but he was surprisingly tough.

Moon Prince smiled sinisterly. "Interesting, interesting."

Suddenly, a tail pierced through the man's brain, causing blood and brain matter to splatter everywhere.

Moon Prince grabbed Chen Junting with one hand and then casually grabbed the headless corpse of the red-eyed man. He threw it away and said lightly, "Moon Shadow, you are responsible for eating him. Don't waste it."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A silver fox slowly appeared from its shadow.

Moon Prince looked at Chen Junting and muttered to himself, "Since both sides are fighting over this woman, do you think... if I eat her, things will become interesting?"

However, the fox did not answer its question. The only thing left on the street was the terrifying chewing sound of Moon Shadow.

At this moment, Chen Junting, who was in Moon Prince's hand, moaned and gradually woke up from her coma. When she opened her azure eyes, Moon Prince seemed to have been hit by a curse and forgot what he was doing.

"Why am I not at home? Sister, you are so beautiful." Chen Junting first wondered why she would appear on the street, then she saw Moon Prince and smiled sweetly.

Moon Prince gritted his teeth and raised his hand, but he could not attack the girl in front of him.

"Moon Shadow, kill... Kill... Kill her!"

He put Chen Junting down and quickly turned around, roaring hoarsely.

Moon Shadow, who was still eating people on the side, immediately jumped up, but the next moment, it saw Chen Junting's eyes. Its right claw, which was originally stretched out, stabbed into its left shoulder.

"Your Highness, I can't do it!"

It landed on the ground and covered its wound with its claws. It lowered its head and did not dare to look at Chen Junting.

Moon Prince's back was facing Chen Junting. He gritted his teeth and controlled his tail to stab at Chen Junting, but at the last moment, he suddenly stopped. He felt a great sense of guilt.

He gasped for breath and looked at Chen Junting in disbelief.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Junting tilted her head and looked at Moon Prince in puzzlement.

In her eyes, the Moon Shadow did not exist, and Lo Shiyu was occasionally in a daze. Then, she turned her back to her and gasped for breath. It was a bit strange.

Moon Prince's face kept changing. Sometimes he wanted to kill Chen Junting, and sometimes he felt ashamed.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to bring Chen Junting back to City Lord's Mansion before making any arrangements.
