Chapter 218: Chapter 217 Agreement
Tang San shook his head and said, "No, I\'ve been protecting you."
Pretty Girl\'s gaze intensified, "Who are you, really?"
Tang San smiled faintly and said, "Who I am is not important, what\'s important is that we have the same goal. I will help you, and I also have no malicious intentions. You can ask Mayor Zhang about this. I don\'t belong to you, but I am the same as you, a human with a common goal."
As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Pretty Girl, handing over the crossbow bolt in his palm.
The recent assassination was undoubtedly very successful, with the Zhuge magic crossbow and the bolt with the Peacock Demon Clan\'s space power-infused magic array, it caught the target off-guard and hit them before they could even release their Diamond Bodyguard.
The bolt was poisoned, and the severe pain, combined with the space power, was transmitted to every part of the body upon entry, especially to the internal organs. That was the key to the success of the assassination. And Pretty Girl\'s close-range attack was meant to deny the target any chance to detoxify and to take the opportunity to kill them.
Without a doubt, the Zhuge magic crossbow with its magic array was the most crucial part of the assassination. Otherwise, even with her Unbreakable platinum claws, she wouldn\'t have been able to kill a Ninth Stage expert proficient in defense. A surprise attack with a sharp weapon was key to success, and this Zhuge magic crossbow was given by the man before her!
Pretty Girl\'s eyes relaxed slightly, "What do you know?"
Tang San shook his head, "I don\'t really know anything, but I can make some guesses. Moreover, your rash actions just now carry a great risk of exposure. To attack such a strong opponent, your plan is far from meticulous and has many flaws, especially the risk of exposing your identity. Even though you have the Second Demigod Change to conceal yourself, once you encounter a crisis that requires the use of space power, you\'d still have to use it. At that moment, you would be completely exposed."
The murderous intent that had just dissipated almost instantly surged again, and Pretty Girl\'s eyes became sharply luminous. Not taking the bolt handed over by Tang San, her figure flashed, and her claws were already reaching straight for him.
Tang San\'s form flickered, initiating Leopard Flash, and at the same time, vines began to rapidly grow from the ground around them, forming layers of barriers in the air that blocked her figure.
Silver light twinkled, and the space around them suddenly became layered, with dazzling silver light erupting. On Pretty Girl\'s forehead, the Peacock Golden Crown surfaced.
Without a doubt, possessing the Second-rate Bloodline was her biggest secret, but now it was laid bare in a single sentence. His words filled her with a strong sense of crisis, as if all her secrets were known to him.
"Don\'t rush, look, I also have more than one Demigod Change, right?" As he spoke, Tang San no longer used Leopard Flash; it was useless in the face of the sealed space. The vines, too, were rapidly shredded by the layered spatial cracks.
But then, a strange scene occurred, no matter how powerful those spatial cracks were, they always grazed by Tang San yet never seemed to land on him. It was as if he had become an untargetable entity. And at this moment, beneath Tang San\'s mask, his eyes were emitting a thick white glow.
The layering spatial cracks suddenly stilled, paused. Such unpredictable spatial fluctuations, once they came to a stop, immediately fell into chaos and couldn\'t be controlled anymore.
"You..." Pretty Girl was greatly shocked, the Peacock feather in her hand pointed at Tang San, yet she didn\'t attack.
Tang San walked towards her step by step, and the spatial cracks in front of him began to fade and disappear.
Pretty Girl undoubtedly hadn\'t gone all out yet, but the abilities that the fellow in front of her had displayed really made her unsure whether she should take action or not.
Three types? Or four? How is that possible, how can he possess so many forms of the Demon God Transformation?
Within the Monsters, it wasn\'t unheard of for someone to have multiple Demon God Transformations, but the more types one had, the greater the likelihood of conflict between bloodlines. Generally speaking, having more than three types was synonymous with being utterly useless, a complete failure. Such individuals were referred to as \'Mixed Bloods\' within the Monster Race, and their status was even lower than that of human vassals; they would be discarded by any race they encountered.
Yet, this fellow in front of her had already exhibited three or four types of bloodline power. And what was that ability that had controlled her spatial fluctuation and prevented her from slicing him with spatial cracks? It clearly indicated a very high level of bloodline.
Tang San took steps to approach her again, handing her the bolt, "We\'re not enemies, I\'m here to help you."
Pretty Girl\'s breathing was slightly hurried, uncontrolled situations were what she least wanted to face, and she was very aware of the grave responsibility she had within the organization. Even within the Redemption Organization, very few knew of her circumstances. Yet this familiar stranger before her knew far too much.
"I\'ve discovered your secret, and at the same time, I\'ve shown you mine. We\'re even now, wouldn\'t you say?" Tang San seemed to have glimpsed her thoughts and spoke with a smile.
Pretty Girl raised her hand and grabbed the bolt, "Why should I believe you?"
Tang San shrugged his shoulders, "Let\'s rely on our future understanding of each other. You can recall, every time I\'ve appeared, have I done anything other than help you? If it wasn\'t for my dealing with that bear as well just now, do you think it would have waited so patiently for you to tear open its throat when you first attacked? I only want to help you, or rather, to help all of humanity."
"Then take off your mask and let me see your face," Pretty Girl said somewhat stubbornly.
Tang San shook his head, "That\'s the only thing I can\'t do. If there comes a day in the future when it\'s truly possible, I\'ll let you see my face, and I\'ll definitely let you see it. But not now. I can\'t reveal my identity at present. All I can tell you is, in this world, if there\'s one person who doesn\'t want to harm you, then that person is definitely me."
Pretty Girl paused, taken aback that Tang San would say such things to her at a time like this.
"I have to go. Before you take action next time, you can consult with me. Working together with you would be much safer." His form flickered, and it was Leopard Flash; in the next instant, Tang San had already appeared in the distance.
"Then how do I find you?" Pretty Girl asked, chasing after the silhouette that was about to disappear into the darkness.
"Whenever you stand at the entrance of Jiali College with a milk tea in the evening, I will know you need me," Tang San said, and with that, his figure flickered and vanished into the night.
"Shura!" Pretty Girl watched the direction in which he disappeared, pondering every word he had said before, then glanced at the black bolts in her hand, her eyes full of speculation.
She removed her headgear, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and long, snow-white hair. The hair slowly changed color, returning to black, and the white mark on her forehead was quietly fading.
What she did not know was that at this moment, Tang San\'s inner turmoil was no less than hers.
Two types of Demon God Transformation Bloodlines, she had two types of Demon God Transformation Bloodlines, and that second one felt no less powerful than the Peacock Demon Clan\'s bloodline. What was that unbreakable white-golden claw, what bloodline power? It was at least a Second-rate Bloodline, and it wouldn\'t be far off from the Peacock Demon\'s bloodline.
No wonder she dared to hunt the Diamond Bear; it was precisely because of the disguise provided by that second bloodline that she could conceal her identity.
