Do You Need Help?

One stick and one figure; neither side shattered upon contact.

On the contrary, they persisted for some time.

Of course, anyone with eyes can see that this blow clearly has the upper hand.

The longer this persistence lasts, the more energy it accumulates; the longer it lasts, the wider the area affected after it explodes.

In an instant, more and more people realized what was happening and subconsciously began to distance themselves.

Just as this frantically accumulating energy was about to explode, suddenly—

"Brush--"

It was as if a gentle breeze was blowing in the air.

The next moment, both the long staff and the giant vanished.

Many people were slightly taken aback upon seeing this scene.

Many of them looked around curiously, their faces full of confusion.

At this point, someone couldn't help but speak up.

"I almost forgot, we're not outside anymore. It seems this World in the Painting doesn't intend for us to use such methods."

Jiang Kui sensed something and his heart sank slightly.

He immediately took out another object, which instantly transformed into a long staff, and once again attacked the man.

This time, everyone felt it clearly.

The long staff had barely been swung out when that familiar wave of energy reappeared, instantly making the staff vanish without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.

Jiang Kui's expression turned somewhat grim.

He wasn't particularly keen on relying on the methods given to him by his ancestor, but given the current situation, it would be difficult for him to hold off the two of them.

On the other side, after that gentle breeze-like aura appeared for the second time, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly, and his attention turned from the battle to the source of the aura.

Based on what he knew, the situation just now was most likely due to the Artifact Spirit of the Scroll of the Falling Brush being written on making its move.

However, he hadn't discovered the exact location of the Artifact Spirit of the Scroll of the Falling Brush just now.

But one thing is certain: in this World in the Painting, the Artifact Spirit of this Scroll of the Falling Brush must possess considerable power.

While Lu Changzhi was thinking about these things, not too far from here...

A young man was intently watching the battle.

The next moment, he suddenly took a step forward, as if Shrinking the Ground to an Inch in an instant.

A sharp dagger, its blade seemingly brimming with terrifying power, was gripped by the man in a backhand grip, and he immediately thrust it towards the figure in front of him.

And this figure was none other than Lu Changzhi, who was standing there, seemingly lost in thought.

"Laugh--"

The dagger flashed past.

Lu Changzhi's figure, however, had vanished.

Almost simultaneously, the person's figure also vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had changed his appearance, and even his aura had become completely different.

Before he came, Tai Jiuling assigned him a task: to kill that descendant of the Jiang Clan.

The Jiang Clan is just a small power, and even if there are geniuses among their younger generations, they are unlikely to become very strong.

He was still very confident about this matter.

Moreover, he didn't launch a direct attack, but rather a silent, stealthy sneak attack.

That situation just now was, undeniably, an excellent opportunity.

Those chosen to be sent to this World in the Painting must have been provided with life-saving measures by the relevant forces.

However, the dagger in his hand was no ordinary weapon either, being crafted by the Tai Clan, and was certainly not something that a junior from an ordinary force could withstand.

What he didn't expect was that, just when everything was going perfectly, the other party actually reacted.

This surprised him somewhat; it seemed he was still somewhat wary.

Judging from their behavior just now, it seems that they appeared to be unsuspecting on the surface, but were actually extremely cautious in their hearts.

Otherwise, how could they have reacted so immediately?

In fact, he was wrong about that.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi was also filled with emotion.

"Unexpectedly, upon entering this World in the Painting, we were met with a series of crises."

He wasn't actually on guard just now.

As for why they were able to react in time, it was purely because their ancestor was incredibly capable.

Being just a tiny bit faster than the ancestor would give him enough time to react.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi's gaze swept around briefly before settling on the man from before.

"That's quite a clever disguise."

After observing for a few moments, Lu Changzhi made a judgment in his mind.

That person is a professional.

In that fleeting glimpse, he still managed to grasp the other person's aura and general posture.

During that brief moment of dodging, the opponent not only disguised their aura but also altered their physical appearance.

Even during the entire process of creating distance, he controlled his breathing exceptionally well.

Although all of this is as obvious as lice on a bald man's head to the system, no matter how these external things change, their names within the system remain the same:

"Tai Yin"

Lu Changzhi looked at Tai Yin, and Taiyin looked back at Lu Changzhi, as if he had sensed something.

Both of them remained calm, as if they had never met before.

Even so, this eye contact still gave Tae- Tai Yin a rather unpleasant feeling.

It was as if the other party knew that it was him who had attacked, and their reaction now seemed too calm, not at all like someone who had been suddenly attacked.

Despite his thoughts, he remained perfectly calm.

He was very confident in his ability to disguise himself, and even if the other party did confirm through clues that it was him who had attacked, he wasn't particularly concerned.

The exchange just now has proven some things: in this World in the Painting, any attempt to rely on the powerful means provided by the background forces will likely be annihilated before it even has a chance to unleash its full potential.

In other words, this situation is exactly what benefits them the most.

Tai Yin was planning his next opportunity, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Do you need any help?

His voice had a gentle, warm quality, like that of a kind-hearted person.

"Who?"

Tai Yin remained calm and spoke softly, his voice not very detailed.

However, he saw that the Jiang Clan descendant, whom he was targeting, inexplicably winked at him.

For some reason, Tai Yin suddenly felt a chill.

Perhaps the other person noticed him, or perhaps they were just trying to trick him.

But in any case, the other party did this completely without warning.

Then, the sound rang out again.

"It seems you've tacitly agreed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred, and he murmured softly.

"Hang it up for Tai Yin."

Brush--

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Idle for Others" that he had obtained from Mu Fan, which had no "mechanism" yet, was activated towards Tai Yin.
