Chapter 286: Chapter 178 Silf, You Wouldn’t Want Others to Know that You’re Planning to Murder the Hero, Right? (5)

Miss Silph’s expression was nearly contorted.

The temper of this elf was actually very volatile; having her attacks evaded twice in a row by Qin Chu in an unimaginable manner was something Miss Silph could not accept.

Pacing back and forth on the branches, her fingers fiercely tugged at her golden hair, and she constantly cursed under her breath; she had never encountered such a weird situation before.

Her fired arrows being blocked or avoided was not unprecedented—in fact, it was quite common. Even with Ghost Shooter Miss Silph’s abilities, when facing those of the same level and those more powerful than her, she could not ensure that every arrow would hit its mark.

Previously, in combat with demons, she had encountered a strange opponent, one of the Abyss Demon Generals, whose speed was unimaginably fast. For Miss Silph, even just to lock on to the enemy was extremely difficult, let alone strike them.

She didn’t get angry because her attacks were dodged; what really infuriated Miss Silph was the playful manner in which Qin Chu evaded her attacks.

Her mood became extremely irritable. Was it a coincidence?

If it was a coincidence, was this guy’s luck not too good?

If it wasn’t a coincidence, then Qin Chu should have already noticed her presence and yelled "assassin" to have all the top fighters in the palace come after her, so why was there no reaction at all?

Miss Silph took deep breaths one after another, trying hard to control her emotions.

Qin Chu tied his shoelaces and put on his coat, appearing as if he was about to leave.

Although she didn’t know where Qin Chu intended to go, if he brought guards like that large-built woman, trying to assassinate him would almost be impossible.

With that thought, Miss Silph prepared to make one last attack.

She readjusted her mental and physical state, closed her eyes tightly for several seconds, and then reopened them. With a brief aim at Qin Chu’s back and without any hesitation, she released the arrow, which instantly whistled towards him.

Thud!

A burst of blood exploded from Qin Chu’s back; his body shook violently and he slumped to the ground.

Hit... Did it hit?

Miss Silph’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could her random shot have hit when her earlier precise aim had missed twice?

It felt... too far-fetched.

For a moment, Miss Silph didn’t know what to feel.

After several seconds passed, Miss Silph laughed softly to herself, "Indeed, those were just coincidences."

Then, Miss Silph realized what she had just done, her face suddenly turning pale as she trembled slightly; she had just killed a Hero.

And with that... she had also extinguished the future and hope of the Sky Dome Continent.

A heavy pressure and fear encased her chest in an instant. What she had done could lead to cataclysmic consequences on the Sky Dome Continent, potentially resulting in the deaths of thousands.

Images of bodies strewn across the land, piles of bones, and rivers of blood invaded her mind, and she finally understood how terrifying the consequences could be.

She was somewhat dazed.

Why had this happened?

She suddenly remembered that she had already planned with Rose Vesper and the others to wait until all of Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments were collected, the demons were wiped out by Qin Chu, and they had drained him of his last bit of value before killing him.

Why had she broken the agreement and acted ahead of time?

A series of excruciating pains drilled through her head.

She didn’t know what had happened, but during that time, the urge to kill Qin Chu was unprecedentedly strong, leaving her unable to control herself.

It was as if a mysterious voice was constantly guiding her in her ear.

After several seconds, Miss Silph bit her lower lip forcefully, no longer considering that issue—what was done was done, regret was useless now. With that set, she was to collect Qin Chu’s blood quickly and then take his soul and run as far as she could.

Miss Silph knew that killing the Hero meant endless pursuit would follow.

Even the other members of the Hero Team would not forgive her.

Silently, Miss Silph floated into the room, vigilantly scanning her surroundings as she approached Qin Chu’s body. Looking at the figure lying motionless on the ground, Miss Silph reached out to turn Qin Chu over.

Qin Chu’s detestable face was fully exposed in front of Miss Silph, even igniting an urge in her to smash that face to smithereens.

She meticulously inspected the wound on Qin Chu’s body, trying not to leave any trace that would immediately lead back to her, at least to give herself more time to escape Oville.

Her spirit was already stretched thin from having killed such an important figure as the Hero, and now it was even more focused on the inspection; at this moment, the previously motionless Qin Chu suddenly opened his eyes, "Hey, Miss Silph..."

Miss Silph was startled by this scene and, almost instinctively, recoiled with lightning speed.

Because she was so frightened by Qin Chu suddenly opening his eyes, she failed to notice what was behind her, and with a thump, she hit the back of her head against the corner of the wall.

Miss Silph was an archer and part-time Magician. Although her body was very agile, it wasn’t very sturdy, certainly not as resistant as Karsas and Benson.

With the added speed and the sharp edge of the wall,

it shattered a chunk off the stone wall when she crashed into it. Silph couldn’t help but let out a cry of pain as she clutched the back of her head and slowly knelt down.

Qin Chu, however, climbed up from the ground with a smile and stepped toward Silph, "Surprised? Excited? Thrilled?"

Surprise my ass.

Inside, Silph cursed. She slowly stood up, squinting her eyes. Qin Chu should have been wounded, yet he acted as if he was perfectly fine.

Moreover, how to deal with the situation was a huge problem.

She found herself in an unprecedented dilemma, with her mind in such turmoil that she couldn’t think of a way out.

Silph was extremely annoyed and hated her own impulsiveness and carelessness. She should have thoroughly investigated Qin Chu before deciding whether to attack him.

"Holy Light Technique. You know that there are quite a few healing effects in light magic that are rather remarkable," Qin Chu said casually, shrugging his shoulders.

In actuality, it was the Power of Holy Healing.

Compared to Karsas’s Long Spear, the destructive power of Silph’s arrows was even weaker.

Qin Chu sat leisurely in his chair, watching Silph’s changing expressions with a hint of a smile on his lips.

Silph was somewhat panicked. She didn’t know what to do next. While with the Hero Team, it was always Lord Jie Luo making decisions, and all she needed to do was follow his orders. Her nature was simple and brute, not suited to such complex problems.

Qin Chu surely knew that she wanted to kill him, which was very troublesome. She couldn’t think of any way to bluff her way out.

She really should have shot another arrow just now; that way, Qin Chu might not have had the chance to heal himself, right?

The smile on Qin Chu’s face was increasingly irritating to Silph, and she felt an inexplicable fear, as if his smile held profound implications. He couldn’t possibly...

Silph remembered the scenes she had just witnessed between Qin Chu and Catherine.

Subconsciously, she tightened her clothes around her.

Should she attack again and completely finish Qin Chu off, solving everything once and for all?

A dangerous light began to flicker in her eyes.

"Miss Silph, what do you think would happen if I shouted right now?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, his smile growing more malicious.

The murderous intent in Silph’s brows slowly subsided. She suppressed her impulsiveness. Violet was very strong; if Qin Chu were to cry out for help, it would take her mere seconds to be there.

And if it weren’t for the element of a stealth attack, the chances of killing Qin Chu within seconds weren’t high—this man had already achieved a not-so-bad level of strength.

Now that she thought about it, the fact that her first two arrows missed might not have been a coincidence but rather this bastard deliberately fooling her. The thought of being toyed with for so long fueled a raging fire within silph’s heart.

Seeing that, although extremely angry, Silph’s murderous gaze was being subdued, Qin Chu nodded in satisfaction, "That’s more like it..."

His gaze unintentionally swept over the sexy part below Silph’s neck, where two faint X-shaped marks made Qin Chu frown slightly.

Silph subconsciously bit her lower lip in response to his weird gaze, "Qin Chu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I simply want to have a nice talk with you," Qin Chu spread his hands and chuckled softly.

Silph’s gaze shifted to the side, "I don’t think there’s anything I need to talk about with you."

Qin Chu deliberately made his tone sound slightly maliciously pleased and nodded gently:

"There’s plenty to talk about, for instance..."

"Silph, you wouldn’t want the details of your attempt to murder a hero to get out, would you?"

Silph’s pupils contracted sharply, panic flooding her eyes as she looked around at something else, "I, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Even if you are a hero, you can’t just slander people like that. I simply saw you lying motionless on the floor and came to check out of concern."

She seemed ready to deny everything to the end.

Without standing up, Qin Chu leaned forward toward Silph, and with just this simple movement, a strong sense of oppression filled the space, with a dangerous aura engulfing her.

Even though she was supposed to be more powerful than Qin Chu, at that moment, Silph felt herself shrinking in his presence.

"Are you suggesting it was a mere coincidence?"

"You just happened to be outside my window... Ah, and this is the third floor, mind you."

"Then you happened to witness my body on the floor, and there just happened to be a small hole in my clothes from a Wind Arrow, with two small holes from the arrow in the wall?"

Suddenly, Qin Chu reached out and grasped Silph’s chin, pulling her face close to his, and stared up at her with a terrifying authority.

"Miss Silph, lying is not a good habit!"
