The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 951 Characteristics

Upon hearing Horace's reminder, Ms. Katie, whose face was scarred, quickly stood up, now holding a revolver and a black soft whip.

But Belis, the bearded man wielding a white rifle, was not so lucky. A bullet fell from the roof and struck him squarely in the forehead.

Sensing the spiritual warning, Belis lunged forward, trying to dodge the fatal blow, but the bullet changed course, tracing a graceful trajectory before striking him directly in the back of the head.

boom!
Belis's head exploded like a watermelon falling from a great height, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere, covering Ka Ping's face, who couldn't dodge in time...

Horace's face was grim, but as a "judge," he still managed to find the source of the bullet within his "jurisdiction," even though the other party had changed direction several times.

He quickly took out a black metal glove from his hidden pocket and put it on. In an instant, he seemed to grow taller and more imposing, like a great man who could control the lives of others.

Then, the gentleman wearing a white wig raised his hand, pointed to the entrance to the living room, and announced in Old Hermetic:

"Invisibility is prohibited here!"

An invisible force spread out, and ripples spread around Zhao Chen and Su Xuanbing, who had been perfectly hidden by the "Thief's Sect" magic, revealing them to the two extraordinary individuals who were still alive.

However, while Zhao Chen was surprised by how domineering this power, similar to the "Mysterious Capital Laws," he also gained a general understanding of the weaknesses of cultivators in this world.

Or rather, the weaknesses of these people in front of us.

That is, although their reaction speed exceeds that of ordinary people, it is only at the level of refining the aperture, and they are not even as agile as cultivators who have just formed their inner world.

With such obvious weaknesses, no matter how terrifying or bizarre the spells and supernatural powers they possess, they would find it difficult to cause any real harm to Zhao Chen and Su Xuanbing.

For example, even though Su Xuanbing had already revealed her identity, she used her lightness skill to leap behind the woman named Katie in just one step. Even though the other party immediately swung her black whip to attack, along with a powerful mental attack spell, Su Xuanbing was able to nimbly dodge them all. Then, despite the mental pain, she punched Katie through the abdomen.

Only then did Heras point his black gloves at Su Xuanbing and speak in a low voice in Ancient Hermes:

"captivity!"

Although Su Xuanbing was trapped in place by the suddenly appearing transparent wall that formed the prison, she was not flustered at all, because Zhao Chen had already drawn the "Crimson Dragon Sword" and used his modified killing move "Taiyin Erosion Realm".

As the sword flashed, the blood-red full moon instantly filled the entire house. Horace felt his mind becoming increasingly volatile, and he was sliding towards the edge of losing control.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he almost roared, "The creation of 'moonlight' is forbidden here."

"Those who violate this rule will be punished!"

He didn't know exactly what methods Zhao Chen used, so he could only make the "prohibition" broad. Although he knew that this might not be enough to "punish" him, it was the only way he could find to save himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a radiant light, like the morning sun, appeared on Horace's body, and even his fists shimmered with a clear luster.

pedal!
The ground beneath his feet cracked silently, and his tall, thin body pounced out swiftly and fiercely, instantly closing in on Zhao Chen.

It had reached a level of supernatural power and possessed a strange "guaranteed hit" attribute, but such an attack was still no match for Zhao Chen. With just a single horizontal sword strike, he slammed Heras into the floor, creating a large, human-shaped crater.

In fact, if Zhao Chen wanted to kill the other party, he could have done so long ago. The reason he went to the trouble of using the "Taiyin Erosion" sword technique was firstly to fabricate the scene and mislead potential investigators.

Secondly, it was to wear down the rationality and will of this person named Horus as much as possible, so as to better search for his soul.

In fact, if one doesn't care too much about the life or death of the person being searched, and doesn't have a specific target to search for, any cultivator who has cultivated "divine sense" can do it; there's no need to use special methods or supernatural powers.

Zhao Chen is like that now. He knows very little about this world and is thinking that he should try to learn as much as possible, which is why he chose to first undermine the other party's rationality and will.

Seeing that Heras's spine was broken and he was lying in a large crater in the ground, barely breathing, Zhao Chen placed his hand on his head and said to Su Xuanbing, who had been freed, "There is still a lot of food in the restaurant. Go and eat to replenish your energy."

"And while you're at it, take care of Kapin and the other thugs in this house."

Su Xuanbing had no objection to his arrangement and immediately nodded, saying, "Okay!"

After saying that, he headed straight for the restaurant.

As for the old man guarding the underground area? After dealing with Heras, Zhao Chen had already taken his head with his sword.

This is also another advantage he has when facing extraordinary beings in this world: possessing divine sense allows him to engage in asymmetrical combat.

The "soul search" process didn't take long. Although this Heras was comparable to a supernatural being in some aspects, his soul strength was insufficient. The only problem was the madness and pollution within his mind, but Zhao Chen was not afraid of that.

The information he obtained was varied and extensive, ranging from the kingdom's conspiracies to his mistresses. Zhao Chen learned about some of these things, but the most important... or rather, the information that Zhao Chen valued most was about a woman.

The woman's name was Panatia, and she was very beautiful. Horace had seen her once and was immediately captivated by her. The mistresses he later took in were all more or less similar to Panatia in some way.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that Heras learned from one of his superiors that the serial killer was connected to a banker Panatia knew.

“Pannadia…banker…” Zhao Chen was thrilled. He had found a clue on his first day in this trial room. It seemed that his and Su Xuanbing’s previous speculation was correct. All the “anomalies” in this city were related.

At this moment, the young lady from a noble family, dressed in full armor, returned carrying a smashed safe in one hand and a bottle of pale gold champagne with strings of pearly bubbles in the other.

She said excitedly, "There are three thousand gold pounds in cash in this safe alone. With other valuables and property deeds, the total value is probably over ten thousand."

This money-grubber's behavior is really unlike that of a lady from a wealthy family... Zhao Chen chuckled and said, "Just take the cash, the rest is worthless to us."

As the two were talking, their consciousness suddenly stirred simultaneously, and they turned their heads at the same time to look at the "bearded" Belis, who had died first. A mass of something with strong "pollution" was condensing on his body.

"Is this a remnant of supernatural powers?"
"No...it has properties similar to those of demons that condense after death!"
