Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Sneak Attack and Trade

The reason Andre Poli chose Messer City as a “Sanctuary” was because during his flight, he heard that Messer City had just experienced a major event of an Evil God’s descent, yet this horrifying disaster was resolved by the sudden appearance of a strong individual.

In the rumors of the underground world, this was a powerful Knight in hiding in Messer City, possessing a legendary “Shadow Beast” as his pet.

Poli believed since Messer City had such a powerful Guardian,

it would never allow the invasion of the “Hound Corps,” so he could get at least a few days of Evolution time. With this time, he was confident he could evolve strong abilities, elude pursuit, and vanish from everyone’s sight.

Poli thought he might never meet that Knight.

But now, he knew he was wrong. In every way, he was wrong.

Buzz!

In front of Poli’s eye, Tang Qi stepped into a shadow, and moments later, another tall and imposing figure slowly emerged from within it.

Dressed in Hunter’s clothes, with a weathered face, conspicuous scars, and that overly large Great Chopper, coupled with the Night Beast beside him, his “True identity” was on the verge of revelation.

Andre Poli’s eyes bulged out, a strong premonition of crisis surged forth.

He’s stumbled upon a big Secret – how would he be dealt with?

Tang Qi seemed to not care about Poli, who had lost control of his body beside him. He first looked around the scene, then his seemingly expressionless face twitched into a smirk, after which his figure slowly faded into the shadows.

Beside a pile of what looked like scrap metal train, behind a Magic Shield, the two sides were in a standoff.

Or rather, the Hound Corps was waiting for White Witch Zoe’s Magic Power to run out, perhaps to resolve this highly reputed team without any damage.

Unbeknownst to them, an “uninvited guest” was spying on them.

…

A White Hound named “Lance,” not human in form but still human at heart, stepped up to the Protective Shield, staring at the Extraordinary Agents and Zoe who was trying to heal Odys.

It first pointed at the agents and said, “You are of no value!”

Then, looking at Zoe and Odys, it continued, “The leader says, one of you has Witch blood and the other has Demon lineage. If possible, I would take you back alive; the leader would very much like this gift.”

Despite having the upper hand, the White Hound didn’t forget to strike at their hearts.

It tried to plant a concept in their minds – they were done for, and it was better to choose Death than to become a Monster.

The agents were first angry, then some showed contemplation, casting meaningful glances at Zoe and Odys. From their looks, it was apparent, to protect the Federation or their comrades from mutation, in the last moment they might destroy their bodies.

Zoe picked up on this, but she ignored the agents’ gazes, instead turning her head to stare down the White Hound, a dangerous light flickering in the White Witch’s eyes.

And Lance, deliberately flashed an extremely unsightly grin.

However, as it was about to do something, it seemed to sense something, and its face abruptly changed.

Its body transformed at a frantic pace, starting from the transparent tube sticking into its mouth, from which came gurgling sounds, the liquid seeming to be boiling, and the snow-white color almost instantly spread throughout its body.

In an instant, it became a white, ghostly “Monster” under the moonlight.

If at that moment, Tang Qi were to use his Special Ability to look, he would discover it entered another State, abandoning all means and increasing its Defense several times over.

This was the best reaction it could muster in an instant.

Because the next moment, an unforeseen event occurred.

Its shadow suddenly distorted, and a bulky figure appeared abruptly, dragging a Great Chopper wrapped in Red Flames, and with a “boom,” it came slashing down from above.

With such incredible speed that Lance’s face still had a smile, but in a blink, that smile “cracked.”

The white figure was split in two, vertically cleaved, and the scene inside had not even been revealed before it was Devoured by Flames, turning to ashes and dissipating into the air before anyone could react.

One second?

No, perhaps even shorter.

In the arena, Lance’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

While both parties were shocked, Tang Qi retracted the concealed Melting Furnace Power that had devoured Lance’s Resentful Soul, and in place of Lance, stood before the Magic Shield.

A strong, deceitful White Hound had died just like that, without even having the chance to howl in pain?

Its terrifying defensive capabilities, unable to withstand a single chop?

Was the transformation it underwent before its death of no use?

Certainly not, if it were merely “Jason’s Great Chopper”, although also an Extraordinary Weapon, there was no way it could kill the reacting White Hound with a single strike; the deciding factor was the Melting Furnace Power.

As long as its Source of Power tended towards chaos and evil, the Melting Furnace Power could exhibit its effects.

Hidden beneath the Flame Spell, in an instant, it broke through its defenses.

Of course, apart from Tang Qi, nobody else knew this.

Hence, whether it was the Hound Corps side or the Investigation Bureau side, at this moment, everyone was stunned.

The already quiet arena grew even more silent.

Not until the next moment did Tang Qi suddenly tap the Magic Shield, saying, “It seems, you need help?”

As Tang Qi spoke, he looked straight at White Witch Zoe, completely fitting his cold and aloof persona, only interacting with those of formidable strength.

After a moment of stupefaction, Zoe’s gaze also landed on Tang Qi, she scanned him briefly, as if she remembered something, and without any evasion, directly said:

“Night Wing Knight, a Transcendent who suddenly appeared in Messer City several days ago, combat power reaching the Professional Level, but Profession unknown, speculated to be a Beast Tamer or a member of some Knight School, wields a blade leaning towards the Chaotic Camp, has a Night Beast pet, with strong close-combat capabilities, and suspected to possess some kind of ability or Curio targeting the Evil God.”

Zoe articulated the intelligence connected with the “Night Wing Knight”, and there was still more she didn’t say.

For example, the official personality analysis: Pretending to be cold and arrogant while actually being capricious, with actions being random, but hating trouble and unwilling to cede benefits, clever in selecting the optimal solution, and with a taste for mischief.

Conclusion: A Transcendent leaning towards Order and Neutral, suitable for recruitment if the opportunity arises.

These follow-up details Zoe didn’t mention, and naturally, Tang Qi was unaware of them.

That such information about himself would be divulged by an FBI Extraordinary Strongman didn’t cause any surprise in Tang Qi.

He first slightly turned his side, then suddenly extended a palm, and with a “hum”, a faint golden light spilled out.

Boom!

As soon as Tang Qi cast his “Guardian Spell”, the moment the semi-circular protective shield materialized, a pair of terrifying greenish-black fists also thundered down upon it.

As Zoe spoke, the Black Hound “Robert” had already launched a sneak attack.

Lance’s death had sent this greenish-black giant into a fury.

Rushing forward like a rampaging elephant, its terrifying fists pounded down wildly, but even at the first collision, the powerful recoil was enough to fracture Robert’s fists and made him stagger back several steps, not giving him a chance for another attack.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a pair of black hooves appeared before its eyes, and amid a muffled boom, Robert was forcefully trampled into a large pit by the Night Beast.

This spectacle excited the still Juvenile Little Guy, who started to silently neigh.

It seemed to understand the source of Tang Qi’s dark humor from before; it turns out doing this sort of thing was indeed exhilarating.

After getting rather enthusiastic, it even stomped a few extra times before, sensing that Robert was about to unleash an even greater power, it turned into a Shadow and soared upward.

While an intense battle erupted between the canine and the beast, Tang Qi, who had completed a successful sneak attack on the other side, was earnestly pointing at the increasingly weakened Demon Hunter “Odys”, proposing a sincere trade request to Zoe, who clearly had a romantic relationship with Odys.
