That single word, "Wait!", coupled with the thrown pebble, instantly changed the situation.

Just as everyone present was slightly stunned by this turn of events, the person hidden in the shadows suddenly darted out. The location of his appearance was the opposite of where the voice had come from; he did not appear on the side where Shi Yanran and Si Yu were fighting, but rather behind Feng Bujue, about ten feet away.

This man was dressed in green, his attire identical to that of Wang Ao who lay dead on the ground. Because his movements were extremely fast and deliberately evasive, even Feng Bujue, who was closest, could not see his face clearly, only that he was a square-faced man, tall and sturdy, with extraordinary agility.

Feng Bujue reacted and turned around immediately, ready to meet the enemy, but he did not expect that the uninvited guest's target was not him at all.

The man roared like a tiger as he charged out, flipping his palm and pressing down with a thunderous crash, striking the corpse on the ground. This move had been brewing for a long time, and its power was astonishing. When it was unleashed, it boomed and crackled like thunder.

In an instant, Feng Bujue understood the man's intention, but he was powerless to stop it. Wang Ao's body was smashed apart by the man's surging palm force. The half of his body riddled with throwing darts was instantly shattered, with internal organs spilling out.

After doing this, the man immediately shouted at Shi Yanran, "Go!" As he shouted, he swept his palm towards the front of Feng Bujue, forcing him back.

Shi Yanran also seemed to realize something; she already knew who the newcomer was. So, she spun around and ran quickly, while throwing out a dozen or so darts to cover her retreat.

This time, the flying darts were not very fast or powerful, but there were many of them, and they covered a wide area, forcing Si Yu and Xiao Tan, who were nearby, to retreat or block them. Clearly, Shi Yanran was in a hurry to leave, so she concentrated on using her Qinggong (light body skill), and the hidden weapons she threw were only meant to delay the pursuers.

The man and Shi Yanran each retreated in a different direction with feints. The players really had no way to chase them. Facing the two people's Qinggong (light body skill), among the five players, only Feng Bujue had the ability to pursue and catch up with them over a long distance, and he had to maintain the Ling Shi Ju Shen Shu (Spirit Consciousness Gathering Technique) state, otherwise it was out of the question. Although Si Yu's skills were better than Brother Jue's, she did not have enough attribute points to support her. To catch up with these two people based on pure physical fitness without the aid of skills, she would probably have to reach level twenty-five, which was impossible now.

"What's going on?" Xiao Tan asked.

Before Feng Bujue could answer him, Bei Ling walked over and spoke first, "Don't you understand? We're going to be scapegoated."

"Huh?" Xiao Tan looked blank.

Young Master Atobe's expression was similar to his, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it all obvious?" Feng Bujue had already released the Ling Shi Ju Shen Shu (Spirit Consciousness Gathering Technique) at this time, and said, "Now that the body is unrecognizable, the two of them can say whatever they want about what happened here." He walked towards Wang Ao's corpse, "From what the woman said just now, you could tell that she didn't want anyone to know that she was the murderer. And we just happened to witness her killing someone."

"From her perspective, there are two options."

"First, abandon the corpse and run away without showing herself."

"Second, kill us all to silence us."

"She chose the second option, which means...the martial arts or hidden weapons she uses are highly recognizable in the martial world. She thinks that even if we didn't see the killer's face, as long as we saw the body, we would immediately know who the killer was. So, as soon as she saw me approach, she decisively attacked."

"Oh! So that's why you said things like 'I don't know you, and I don't know him' and 'You can do whatever you want with the corpse' at the beginning," Xiao Tan said with a sudden realization.

Feng Bujue nodded, "I had some awareness of her thoughts at the time, and tried to resolve it peacefully, but she obviously didn't trust us. Of course, that's human nature. If it were me, and I happened to be seen by a few strangers while committing a crime, then even if they sincerely swore that they would keep it a secret for me, I would never believe such a promise. Because in the end, things would probably evolve into them blackmailing me. To be honest, I would feel uneasy if they didn't blackmail me."

As Feng Bujue spoke, he squatted down beside the disgusting corpse, "The man who appeared later had probably been observing in the shadows for a long time. He thought that the woman could kill us all without him needing to take action, so he didn't show himself until now." He pondered, "The martial arts experts in this script seem to be able to tell that we don't know martial arts, or see that we don't have internal energy, just by observing us. I think the man and woman just now were no exception." He used the pipe wrench to stir the darts in the minced meat, took one to his eyes and looked at it, "But the reality is that our combat ability far exceeded their expectations. But since things have come to this, the woman has no choice but to hold on to the end, so the man came up with a plan when he saw that the situation was not right..."

Feng Bujue had already begun to rummage through the better-preserved side of the corpse, trying to search for some items from it: "...Destroy the evidence." He actually said with an admiring tone, "Now that the corpse is in this state, they can say that we killed this person, and he and the woman just happened to arrive, and had a fierce battle with us, so the hidden weapons were scattered nearby." He sneered, "Hmph...that guy had been observing for a long time before he rushed out, and he thought it through carefully. He rescued the woman in distress, while creating a diversion, deliberately using sound to disrupt our vision. Then he suddenly appeared and struck the place on the corpse that was covered with hidden weapons."

"If the corpse is intact, the hidden weapons that were thrown in and the ones that were stuck in after death are definitely different. The location of the fatal wounds can also be traced. But now...even if we take out a hidden weapon stuck in the minced meat, it doesn't prove anything. The way it looks now, you can say that this guy was killed by some kind of martial arts, or that he was bitten to death by wild animals, and people would believe it."

"Then aren't we stuck with this black pot?" Young Master Atobe asked.

"It doesn't matter," Feng Bujue replied. He didn't find anything on the corpse, so he shrugged and stood up, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise..."

"How do you figure?" Xiao Tan asked.

At this time, Si Yu said, "Are you going to bluff?"

"Smart," Feng Bujue smiled and winked at her.

Bei Ling continued, "That's indeed a way..."

Young Master Atobe looked bewildered, "The way you guys communicate is too erratic! What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

Feng Bujue turned to look at him and Xiao Tan and smiled, "Heh...you'll understand tomorrow."
