When the three killers from the Murder Club arrived in Sunflower City, they found that their targets were already dead.
All members of the Red Rose Squad were killed without a single one left.
The sheriff's office cordoned off the scene, and the shelter stepped in and began investigating.
The three of them met in an ordinary bar, shared the information they had heard, and finally came to a surprising conclusion.
"His Majesty the King of Slaughter...has taken action personally!"
One of them put down his glass and spoke confidently.
A terrifying light flashed in the eyes of the other two, which was extreme fanaticism and admiration.
"Which 'distinguished guest's' wine touched my king? This is really... incredible!"
"If I remember correctly, I haven't heard of such a thing for many years."
“Although Jerome is a [Sequence 5] Beyonder and stronger than the rest of us, he is not worthy of being the King’s murder target… To have attracted His interest, that wine must be very precious and rare!”
The three of them drank and chatted happily.
As members of the Murder Club, they believe in Conrad, the King of Killing, rather than the god of conspiracy "Old Man Bones", for the simple reason that Old Man Bones basically does not respond to believers and rarely performs miracles.
The King of Slaughter protects them and all the killers who believe in him, but few people can see the King take action personally.
Although the three of them made a wasted trip, they got their rewards with almost no effort. At the same time, they witnessed the murder of Wang and the annihilation of the Red Rose Team.
This made them even more excited.
“I will definitely tell my friends in the club about this when I go back. I think they will be very excited about it too.”
…
…
…
On the outskirts of Amber City.
Ruins of the old site.
The Black Knight sat on a huge broken column, overlooking the open space in front.
The executioner team consisted of thirteen people, fully armed and dressed in black, standing on the cracked stone road, surrounded by weeds.
They raised their heads and looked at the figure on the stone pillar with solemn expressions.
"Why are you the Executioners the only ones here? Are the Lantern Guardians and the Purple Moonlight Team hiding?"
A deep laugh came from beneath the wolf-shaped helmet.
"In my impression, although the monks of the Sun Church are arrogant, they are not insidious and cunning. Shouldn't they rush to the front and clamor for my life? Why would I let you test me..."
Hearing the Black Knight's sarcasm, the faces of the members of the Executioner Squad turned ugly.
They also didn't know what had happened. The Light Guardian Team and the Purple Moonlight Team did not come as agreed, especially the Light Guardian Team. They had clearly received news that the other party had arrived in Amber City yesterday, but disappeared inexplicably today.
If it weren't for the fact that the Church of the Sun was "their own", the executioners would even think that this was a stab in the back, a conspiracy to deliberately make them serve as "cannon fodder".
"Byerswolf, what you should be concerned about now is the ending you will face."
Captain Talleyrand of the executioners said coldly.
"As the former captain of Purple Moonlight, you must have a lot of knowledge and experience. You wouldn't be so arrogant as to think you can escape this roundup, right?"
He raised his hand, and the small stone sculpture hanging on his wrist fell in front of him. It instantly grew larger and turned into a sculpture of a woman.
The outer shell of the stone statue was cracked, and stone chips were shaking and flying, revealing the wax figure inside. The woman had flowing brown hair and fair skin, and was very lifelike, just like a real person.
She opened her eyes and walked to Talleyrand's side, her eyes showing deep love and concern.
"Talleyrand, what trouble have you encountered?"
She spoke.
Talleyrand looked at the woman and smiled, his eyes also full of love.
"Teacher, I'm sorry to bother you... This time the opponent is really tough and I need your help."
The executioners all looked surprised.
Although they had fought alongside the captain for a long time, they knew very little about him. They only knew that he was [Earth Faction Sequence 5 - Wax Statue Master], but he had never shown this skill in normal battles.
It turns out...the mini stone sculpture the captain is holding in his hand is actually a wax figure?
Able to summon a wax figure of his teacher...? !
The black knight on the stone pillar quietly looked at the enemy below.
“A wax sculptor? That’s a bit troublesome… The wax statue of that woman was actually made from her corpse, retaining most of her strength before her death. This way, it is equivalent to two [Sequence 5].”
The black knight stood up holding the black sword.
The executioner team looked at him as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"You cast your mentor and lover into a wax figure to achieve eternal companionship... Should I admire your persistence in love, or should I spit on your cold heart, Mr. Talleyrand?"
Talleyrand dropped his eyes and made no reply.
Byers' words made him feel a little guilty.
The brown-haired woman next to him had a calm expression.
“The extraordinary are just people who are trekking on the path to God. Even if they are promoted to saints and transformed into myths, they will die one day... I am the one who is unwilling to give up, and I am also the one who is reluctant to let go. Even if I turn into a wax figure, as long as I can be by his side, it is enough.”
"Hilna..."
Talleyrand turned to look at the woman, slightly moved.
He then looked up at the Black Knight and said in a deep voice:
"Byers, you don't need to bother me with words anymore. No matter what, you can't escape the fate of being suppressed today!"
The Black Knight was silent for a few seconds, then laughed in a hoarse voice.
"Oh... Yeah, what right do I have to say that to you? After all, I am a ridiculous guy myself."
call out!
He pointed the black sword in his hand and said solemnly:
"I have no hatred against any of you, but we have different positions... If you want to suppress me, then try it."
The battle is about to begin!
The wax figure woman Hilna smiled slightly, and her skin instantly turned into stone grayish white. A pair of huge stone wing membranes grew behind her, and two stone horns also emerged from her head.
This is the ability of [Earth Faction Sequence 6 - Gargoyle]!
Possess extremely high physical resistance and energy resistance!
Hilna's eyes were like obsidian, emitting a black light that dragged everyone into the spirit world wherever they went.
There is an unwritten rule in the mysterious realm, which is that battles among extraordinary people should take place in the spiritual world as much as possible.
This will not have much impact on the present world.
Those who break the rules will be jointly targeted by the seven major orthodox churches and the shelter. Even saints from various forces dare not cause large-scale destruction and killing in the world. This is the deterrence from the official.
As everyone's vision was covered by a distorted and blurry blue, they all entered the spirit world.
The Black Knight stood on the stone pillar, unmoved.
He didn't care whether the fight took place in the real world or the spirit world, he had only one goal, which was to kill all the executioners in front of him and let the shelter feel the pain once again!
When the Executioner Squad looked at the Black Knight again, they were all shocked.
Because they discovered that under the stone pillar, several figures of different heights had appeared at some point and had been waiting in the spiritual world.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time, Executioner Squad."
The leader was a guy wearing a silver pot on his head, and his voice came from the silver pot, making a buzzing sound.
Next to him stood a burly man with a brown-red pottery pot head, a black bald man whose whole body was hidden in a bronze bottle, a man in a windbreaker with a crow mask on his face, and a bearded man with an ugly expression.
Five weird-looking guys stood there lazily, exuding a powerful aura.
Talleyrand's pupils shrank slightly.
"Akbin, Delink, and three strange supernatural creatures..."
He failed to recognize Chen Lun's identity and mistakenly thought he was a spiritual creature like Pinghu.
The Executioner Team couldn't help but take a deep breath. The Black Knight alone was already very difficult to deal with, and now there were five more helpers. The situation was quite bad.
Although they didn't know the three extraordinary creatures, Akbin was a wanted criminal and a senior [Sequence 6] extraordinary being! The others probably wouldn't be much worse!
"So this is where your confidence comes from... Byers."
Talleyrand said coldly.
"That's perfect! Let's just catch both Akbin and Byers, the two fugitives!"
He waved his hand and the twelve executioners rushed forward.
"Mr. Byers, leave these small fry to us."
Chen Lun chuckled.
"Thanks, Silver Pot."
The black knight said, tilting his head while holding the black sword.
He saw that Jack had no intention of revealing his identity, so he tacitly did not tell the other person's name.
"Trash?! You actually called our Executioner Team trash...!"
Lei Sili's pretty face turned cold.
"Kill that Silver Pot Head first!"
"To call you trash is an exaggeration. You are no better than trash!"
A loud laugh came from the silver pot.
Chen Lun waved his hand, and the Kazt sword appeared in his hand. He raised his arm and swung out several lavender arc-shaped sword qi.
At the same time, he shouted to his companions:
"Hey guys, can this fight be resolved in ten minutes?"
"You underestimate me too much, Silver Pot!"
Mr. Hu bumped his fists together, making a "dong-dong" sound.
Delink silently lit a cigarette without saying anything. Instead, a cold and brief voice came from Akbin's crow mask:
"Five minutes."
Lei Sili and several executioners beside her quickly dodged the swift sword, and suddenly their faces changed slightly.
They noticed that thick green smoke suddenly emerged from the ground around them.
"Hold your breath and take the anti-poison potion!"
She shouted loudly to warn people, but in the process she inhaled a breath of virus smoke and started coughing uncontrollably.
Suddenly a sharp sword came down on his head!
Lei Sili suppressed the dryness and itchiness in her throat and retreated suddenly, but was accidentally stabbed in the chest by the sword, leaving a slanted cut on the mountain peak.
“Damn it!”
She cursed.
The hateful Silver Pot Head had already approached, swinging the sword in his hand, and every strike of the sword was deadly.
Chen Lun’s knight swordsmanship was at the maximum level, and his physical fitness was overwhelming. Lei Sili, who was infected with the disease, was only concerned with dodging for a moment and had no energy to fight back.
Danger is lurking around!
clang!!
A dagger popped out from Lesli's sleeve, blocking Kazt's long sword.
She only felt her arm go numb, and her whole body leaned back uncontrollably.
"What kind of extraordinary creature is this? Why is it so powerful?!"
She gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead.
The sword wound on his chest was bleeding, and his internal organs began to ache from the disease.
Chen Lun exerted a little force with his hands, and Lei Sili fell to her knees with a thump, trying desperately to hold the sword, but the tip of the sword kept getting closer to her delicate neck.
"Ms. Leslie, why are you kneeling down? Are you proposing to me...Ahaha, although you are good-looking and have a great figure, there is something wrong with your brain. I can't accept it."
Bursts of light laughter came from the silver pot.
Lei Sili looked at the smooth surface of the silver pot, which reflected her hideous face. Her heart began to beat wildly and the hairs on her body stood up.
She felt the breath of death!
"How... do you know my name...! You are not a supernatural being... who are you?!"
She struggled and growled.
Chen Lun did not answer her but turned his head to look away.
A hundred meters away, a pitch-black hemisphere was upside down on the ground, and loud noises came from inside.
That was the "dark night realm" unfolded by Mr. Byers. The captain of the executioner team, Talleyrand, and the wax figure woman, Hilla, were trapped inside, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Ping worked in perfect harmony to deal with the siege of the four executioners, and it was the executioners who fell into a disadvantage.
They were cursed with all kinds of curses and had inhaled the disease fumes. Faced with Mr. Hu's iron fists and heavy kicks, they could only flee in panic.
If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Akbin and Drinker faced the only two [Sequence 6] in the Executioner Squad, plus three ordinary members.
But Akbin and the other two were not in a hurry and seemed very calm.
This was thanks to the fact that Chen Lun brought the team to the spiritual world in advance, and Akbin made careful and meticulous arrangements.
Now that the war has begun, the potion bottles that had been buried in advance have been activated. In an environment where the plague has spread all around, it has become Akbin's home turf.
The opponents are elite extraordinary people in the shelter, and they are not weak, but Akbin and Drinker are members of the murder club, and they will only be stronger.
Although the executioners took antidote, Akbin's extraordinary disease still ate away at their bodies.
Facing the siege, Akbin released two sick dogs to fight in the front, and with the addition of Delink's [Sequence 6] from the flesh-and-blood faction, the executioners were unable to capture the two for a while, and instead suffered from the ravages of the disease.
When Drinker was injured, he would draw the blood of his opponent to recover from his injuries, and even swallow his opponent's attacks to strengthen himself.
In case of danger, there is the "doctor" Akbin who throws out all kinds of strange potions, which will aggravate the opponent's condition while healing Drinker, the sick dog and himself.
The executioners complained bitterly.
"How dare you be distracted during a battle? Go to hell!"
Lei Sili noticed that Yin Hutou was looking somewhere else with a fierce look in his eyes. She held her breath, then suddenly retreated and turned around.
Puff——!
Her forearm was cut off by a sword and blood spurted out.
At the same time, she also seized a moment of opportunity, and with her other hand she grasped Chen Lun's left chest and squeezed it tightly.
"Heart strangulation!"
Yin Hutou screamed, covered his chest, and staggered back.
At the last moment, he threw the sword in his hand with all his might, but his aim was greatly off as Leslie dodged it and the sword stabbed into the ground with a clang.
"Seize the opportunity! Kill him now!"
Lei Sili shouted with lingering fear, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
The next second, two executioners rushed forward and attacked together. Their faces were fierce and their fists were covered with arcs of electricity.
They were the two people who had threatened Chen Lun in the interrogation room before!
whoosh——!
A flash of black light.
The extremely fast speed left a claw mark in Leslie's field of vision.
There were only two "puff" sounds, which happened almost simultaneously.
A drop of blood splashed onto Leslie's face, and she opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
Silver Pot Head's hands turned into pitch-black claws and pierced through the hearts of the two executioners.
bass!
Chen Lun withdrew his hands, and his shiny black claws slowly turned back into normal palms.
The two people in front of him fell to the ground, gasping for breath and coughing up blood. They had lost their hearts and it seemed that they would not live long.
"This... This is impossible! How come you are fine?!"
Leslie took a step back, frowning, a hint of panic in her eyes.
Chen Lun took out a white towel from the Blood Poetry Ring and wiped the blood off his hands.
"How was my performance? Was it very realistic ? As a transcendent from the Star Faction, how come you are not as professional as me in deception...?"
He chuckled.
This time, facing the extraordinary power of [Heart Thief], [Maggie's Tears] was not activated. The reason was very simple -
Chen Lun knew Lei Sili's background and had already used the magic of "body separation" to move her heart to another location in advance. In addition, the blessing of [Moon Goddess's Protection] enhanced her mysterious resistance, so the opponent's sneak attack did not work.
In Lei Sili's sight, Yin Hutou raised the towel in his hand, and as the towel fell to the ground, the other person's figure suddenly disappeared.
Next second.
She suddenly felt a hand climbing up her neck.
A familiar voice came from behind:
"Ma'am, no one can save you this time."
Lei Sili's pupils shrank. The sound coming from the silver pot was completely different from before.
She thought of someone.
"Jack..."
Leslie's voice was dry and trembling.
Kalah——!
