The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Since this was the last area, the terrifying Black Rain had surrounded them, and gusts of chilly wind were bombarding the space relentlessly.

Brother Mo was panicking a bit.

Because the surrounding view was like that of wolves spotting their prey. Although it wasn't focused on him, this sensation made him... for the first time in his mediocre life, feel the pressure of a genius being watched and coveted.

"Brother Mo..." the Bald martial artist looked at Brother Mo with some confusion as to why he was standing together with Su Buxian.

"I'm just passing by." Brother Mo coughed, readying himself to pretend he wasn't acquainted with the guy and beat a hasty retreat.

"Just passing by is a bit too hurtful, Brother Mo." Su Qi sighed, "I'm the one who saved you from that pit, after all."

"...."

Then how about you tell me who knocked me into the pit.

Brother Mo tried to move his leg but couldn't.

Because...

At that moment.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

There was a slight sound of high-speed friction happening right by their ears!

Bai Yilin's eyes narrowed as he said, "Be careful!"

An astonishing murderous intent burst forth in that instant! Invisible threads... from all directions, like a dot matrix, lunged towards Su Qi!

However.

The very next moment.

The figure holding a large Boomerang suddenly materialized! The Boomerang spun in mid-air with an amazing sound of cutting through the wind!

"Snap!"

All the attacking threads were cleanly sliced in an instant!

This Black Shadow was Wen, its pupils flickering with amber light, staring down the bespectacled man, ready to continue throwing the Boomerang and charge!

The bespectacled man chuckled coldly, "You got a bodyguard?"

The very next moment.

The giant Puppet let out a roar! A terrifying and lethal aura of sternness was oppressively emanating from it!

This time the Strength was clearly more potent than just before, but Wen still collided with it mightily, the Boomerang forming a Chaotic wave and forcibly carving out a crack.

The bespectacled man's giant Puppet, still appearing robust, roared and flung Wen away!

The bespectacled man laughed, "Interesting... just a Summoning Item, and it has the ability to contend with a Puppet."

Although he couldn't see through the two Black Shadows, he understood that they were beings summoned by Su Buxian using a summoning type Skill.

"Su Buxian, you really are a treasure trove."

"Not bad, but for a grown man to actually call me a treasure?" Su Qi shook his head, "That's truly disgusting."

Everyone: "....."

Is that calling you a treasure?

The bespectacled man's expression also stumbled slightly, but he still maintained his smile:

"It seems you're a lot more interesting than Bai Yilin; you have quite the quick tongue."

No sooner had he spoken!

"Whizz!"

An invisible thread stealthily attacked from behind Su Qi!

Su Qi turned his head.

The Dark Star in his hand hadn't moved because Cui next to him, holding a giant hammer, had already fiercely smashed down towards the attack.

Su Qi looked at the bespectacled man, "It seems you're quite scheming, filled with hidden attacks and ambushes. Looks like you've done these kinds of things quite frequently."

The bespectacled man's background was related to Free City, and the Strength on him carried a somewhat eerie shadow.

The bespectacled man squinted his eyes, and instead of being annoyed by the failure, he smiled and said, "That's how all combat is, by any means necessary, just to win."

"Not true; I think what you said is wrong," Su Qi said earnestly, "Combat is a pursuit of the heart, it's about fairness, reality, and preserving the original intention."

Su Qi shook his head, "Illusions of truth and falsehood, sneak attacks, playing with conspiracies and tricks, these are things I never do."

The crowd looked at Su Qi's emphatic tone, and their expressions shifted slightly.

And Silver Hand... at this moment, a camera hidden in his sleeve was secretly recording. Even if one dies in the dueling ground, there's no punishment, they can't bring Su Qi down, at most they can defeat him and win.

But.

The information about Su Buxian was of high value, whether it was movements, words, Skills, personality or anything else. Once recorded, it would be the freshest firsthand news, and there will certainly be many people in need.

However.

This speech made some people present furrow their brows.

"Should he be called pure, or naïve..."

"This kind of determination in preserving one's original intentions might be key to him standing out. But..."

As Silver Hand surreptitiously recorded, he squinted his eyes, "Such genius can't go far."

Only Brother Mo beside him stared at Su Qi with a baffled expression, "?"

You're that kind of person?

I just don't believe it, a sly and cunning guy still dares to spout such words, clearly his own scheming is a hundred, no, a thousand times more than others.

Brother Mo couldn't expose him.

"Tsk, all you geniuses and rising stars are really something... always having a naive side."

The bespectacled man's gaze turned to Bai Yilin.

"That guy's a silent piece of wood, always known as the indifferent crow in the past, he never had anything but disdain for anyone, angering many people. After falling from his pedestal, he's become a stray dog everyone detests."

Butterfly and Giant Axe looked somewhat angry, about to berate, but Bai Yilin silently stopped them.

He used to be proud and arrogant, and now any attempt to argue was futile and weak.

"And you..."

The bespectacled man looked at Su Qi, "Like the others before you, you're just another star attempting to rise, the cheerier the talk, the more miserable the downfall."

Because threads were continually spreading around!

A dangerous killing intent was surging forward ferociously!
