Chapter 525: Chapter 371: Ambush Recovery (Two in One)
Pale serpents burst forth from the right arm of Governing Officer Jack, like dozens of whip-like arms, striking densely upon the Bat Wing Ghoul.
With a series of muffled crackling sounds, this Sequence Six Priest was severely injured on the spot.
One could see his body stumble, overwhelmed by the tremendous force, his head and neck bending at a right angle as the “Pale Hand” smashed him into the ground, clinging tightly to it. Starting from his skull, the stone pavement radiated outwards with a spiderweb of cracks.
Chen Lun coldly shouted.
He lifted the “Pale Hand,” interweaving it into a heavy mallet and smashed down again.
The ground trembled, stones and dust rising high. The Bat Wing Ghoul was hammered into a deep pit, and his upper body, including his head, instantly burst open, a blur of blood and flesh.
But with the tenacious life force of a “Bloodline,” such injuries were still not enough to kill him.
Chen Lun glanced indifferently, as the headless remnant of the Ghoul struggled to rise. Knowing that the other party would most likely turn into a swarm of bats and scatter in this situation, he spread his right arm, sweeping the serpents forward and tightly entwining the Bat Wing Ghoul before flinging it into a nearby Black Sphere.
This “Bloodline” Priest was instantly shredded into it, suffering the pull of gravity along with four other priests. The Ghoul’s body was torn and healing continuously, struggling to crawl out of the Black Sphere, but to no avail.
The harrowing screams were swallowed by the Black Sphere, and the onlookers could only vaguely see several beastly heads twisting, popping out, and continuously opening and shutting their large mouths, silently conveying a sense of despair.
“What is that Black Sphere?!”
“It absorbed five Mid Sequence Priests!”
“I just saw that it was a black card thrown by Mr. Jack!”
A dozen elite players showed shocked expressions, utterly astounded.
Polaris looked up, his eyes shining brightly as he gazed at the figure standing out of nowhere.
“When can I reach the heights of Mr. Jack…”
He thought to himself.
Chen Lun’s Deception Incarnation silently watched the Black Sphere, his grey robe fluttering with the wind. In his hand appeared a replica of the Silver Staff crafted by Connie.
His left thumb slowly pushed the handle, revealing half of a slender sword’s cold gleam.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!
In one second, he drew nine swords with his right hand. The arcs of purple brilliance formed a dense, straight trajectory that soared past the Black Sphere, piercing through the entwined bodies of the five Priest Ghouls.
The soul-extinguishing power of the Ultimate Sword erupted at that moment.
The Scepter Sword sheathed, making a sharp sound.
The next second, as the Black Sphere dissipated, what fell was a lifeless residue of flesh.
All five Priest Ghouls met their end!
“Let’s continue forward, brave strangers,”
Chen Lun, holding the Silver Staff, smiled as he looked down at the players below and spoke.
The elite players, snapping out of their shock, promptly responded loudly.
Chen Lun nodded slightly, and in a whoosh, disappeared from the spot.
Leaving the players exchanging glances.
And then they let out a sigh of relief as if they just survived a great calamity.
“Thank goodness for Big Boss Jack leading the team, or we would’ve probably lost our lives here,”
Doghead Gold transformed back from his bull-headed form and walked over, leaning on Forget No Taboo, both grinning with a bit of pain.
“That’s for sure! Jack is truly a big-hearted man for escorting us safely!”
Wei Yin tossed her twin ponytails, giggling with a smile.
“I can only offer my body in gratitude!”
The other players spat contemptuously, thinking to themselves shamelessly.
At that moment, the Silver Cup, acting as the team leader, stepped forward, reminding everyone to tend to their wounds, then prepare to move on.
The players acquiesced.
The Dragon King and Kuang Benkuang, who had been killed in an instant earlier, quickly returned to the team from the Resurrection Point. Learning that Jack had personally intervened to save the day, they could not help but beat their chests and regret their bad luck. If only they had held on a few seconds longer, they might have waited for Jack to arrive.
The bloody war in the region of Scale Wall City in Rock State was raging fiercely.
And far away on the main road outside Fossil City in Gem State, a man wearing a round-top hat and a black coat was walking at a leisurely pace.
Because of his extraordinary attire and temperament, several passing carriages stopped, intending to give him a lift, but the man politely declined each time with a gentle word.
The man walked on for a while, stopping in his tracks as he neared the city entrance.
He looked into the distance, silently for a long moment.
“Terence, it’s time we settled our score,”
He pulled down the brim of his hat and continued to walk forward.
He was none other than “Ferryman’s Sword” Bales Wolf, recently returned from the Dark World.
The news of the Empire’s official start of an all-out war with the Red Apple Church was growing more intense. Bales, naturally, had heard about it and, through his sources, learned an important piece of information, the main reason for his return to the mortal realm.
The news was that Archbishop Leandro, one of the Ten Cores of the Blood Abbey of the Red Apple Church, was killed outside the Beryl Royal City by two Empire Judgment Chiefs a few days ago.
Now, the vacant seat among the Ten Cores was taken by Archbishop Lafa, who seemed eager to prove himself. Lately, he was frequently seen in person around Gem State, as if he were involved in some secretive activity. Upon hearing this news, the Sun Church reacted immediately.
