Hidden Moth-Chapter 394 - 220: Hidden Moth Challenges Two Masters (Part 2)

The chess piece transformed in mid-air into the size of a millstone, flying over Feisuo Guest to smash towards Boomerang Guest.

The power of a magical treasure’s marvelous use, naturally relates to the user’s cultivation and magical power. In terms of cultivation and magical power, He Kao might be slightly inferior to Boomerang Guest, but the cannon stone was both swift and heavy, crashing onto one’s body was unbearable for anyone.

Boomerang Guest quickly retreated backward, while the cannon stone made a skipping trajectory in the air, still flying toward him. A magical artifact attack can pursue the position locked by divine sense, making it nearly unavoidable.

There are two ways to defuse it: dispersing the opponent’s divine sense, or facing it directly.

Boomerang Guest’s evasion was merely buying time; with a gesture, he had already summoned back the twelve boomerangs, hurriedly forming them into a flower plate shape to meet the cannon stone, then shattered into a burst of light fragments.

The attack force of the boomerangs wasn’t strong, but they can separate into twelve paths, with multiple attack angles and sharp agility, making them very bizarre and difficult to guard against. However, using them to withstand the cannon stone was insufficient.

The twelve boomerangs shattered on the spot, not because the magical treasure was destroyed, but because the artifact magic was broken. Boomerang Guest groaned, but amidst the divine sense turmoil, he finally freed himself from the cannon stone’s lock-on, turned and raced away.

He ran without looking back!

The reason was simple. In just a blink, the Feisuo Guest had already been captured alive by Zou Tianjin. With him alone against those two, it would mean sending himself to death; there was no point in fighting needlessly.

As Feisuo Guest retrieved the feisuo to fend off the gunfire, Boomerang Guest also retracted the boomerangs to block the cannon stone. Zou Tianjin decisively suppressed his injuries and launched the Jade Locking Pillar.

The Jade Locking Pillar transformed into a dragon-like golden light, instantly wrapping around Feisuo Guest. This artifact can protect oneself and can also provide protection to another, and with slight modifications, can even lock down an opponent.

What Zou Tianjin did was very risky, equivalent to temporarily giving up self-defense.

Feisuo Guest hadn’t anticipated that his companion would fail him, not fulfilling the restraining role in such a critical moment, allowing Zou Tianjin to spare a hand for an all-or-nothing attack.

A pile of gun parts fell to the ground, the black feisuo in his hand also fell to the ground, and he became akin to a statue, standing there unable to move.

The dragon-like golden light had disappeared, the bracelet that was originally on Zou Tianjin’s wrist was now on Feisuo Guest’s wrist, locking his divine qi and mana.

Zou Tianjin walked over with one hand on his chest, coughing as he walked.

The masked mysterious figure, also known as He Kao, had already retrieved his chess piece-like artifact, did not greet Zou Tianjin, and turned to disappear into the darkness.

Outside Haitang Park, across the street was a commercial district with many long strip-shaped storefronts, bearing the sign of Haitang Comprehensive Market.

Only on weekends were there more people in the market; business during the week wasn’t too good, and at night there was no one, not even the street lights were on. The mysterious figure slipped inside, and before a few seconds passed, a deafening gunshot suddenly rang out from another direction afar.

...

Boomerang Guest, somewhat embarrassed, dodged the cannon stone attack, only to find his comrade had already been captured by Zou Tianjin on the spot, turned and ran without looking back.

The key to a sorcerer’s escape is to free oneself from the opponent’s divine sense lock-on.

Thus, not only must one’s speed be fast, but one must also make full use of the terrain and environment. In fact, a chaotic crowd is the greatest interference to divine sense, but clearly, there was no large-scale gathering here and now.

The undulating terrain is also a good means of concealment, and complex buildings heavily block visibility, greatly shortening the probing distance of divine sense...

Boomerang Guest naturally ran in the direction away from Zou Tianjin and others, quickly heading into an alley outside the farm market, aiming to quickly escape the possible range of divine sense lock-on by the opponent. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As he just turned the corner, he found someone standing at the other end of the alley, seemingly holding a gun, followed by a flash of firelight. When he heard the loud noise, his chest was already a bloody mess, and he fell backward.

Still that masked mysterious figure from before, the person seemed capable of teleportation, appearing in places Boomerang Guest least expected, shooting without hesitation. Boomerang Guest didn’t even have time to offer up a magical artifact to block.

He Kao used the shotgun again, still with only a single round in the chamber, and fired a massive impact slug instead of buckshot.

This shot passed through the chest, shattering Boomerang Guest’s chest.

This person clearly couldn’t survive anymore, but He Kao remained cautious, storing the gun and slowly approached, first ensuring the opponent had completely ceased breathing.

He then heard the police sirens in the distance, along with Gu Chun’s divine thought. Elder Gu instructed him to take the assassin’s magical artifact but leave the body behind, and arrange to meet in Chongchuan tomorrow morning, specific location to be confirmed.

...

Gu Chun descended from the sky, landing next to Zou Tianjin, nodded, and said: "Not bad, actually captured someone alive... your injury looks serious."

Zou Tianjin: "It’s nothing... what about Fabre?"

Gu Chun: "Unfortunately, couldn’t kill him, let him escape. But he’s far more injured than you, no matter how high his cultivation, it will take at least a year and a half to recover."

Zou Tianjin: "I fought him; this person is very likely a Tier Six Physician, best at healing."

Gu Chun: "That’s what I mean in the case of a Tier Six Physician. If it were another sorcerer, a year and a half might not be enough; they might even succumb to their injuries!"

Zou Tianjin: "That masked person just now, was it arranged by you?"

Gu Chun shook his head: "Wasn’t arranged by me, seems like a passerby, voluntarily appeared to help you... you looked like you could barely hold on earlier."
