Chapter 445: The Curtain Falls (3.5k)
“What’s her current situation?”
Sensing the invincible aura emanating, everyone shielded their eyes with their arms and then turned their heads in astonishment towards the girl carrying a sword in the void. The female instructor’s body trembled slightly as she whispered, “This aura, I’ve only seen it on some Demigod-level military big shots… Who on earth is she!?”
“Shiyu Order…”
Unlike others, Archbishop Qiyun’s gaze was fixed on Su Jiu, or rather, on the black token at her waist. Her massive body trembled slightly. She understood the significance of this token better than anyone present, and with the token’s appearance, her aura seemed to be suppressed by some rule…
Immediately, she yanked hard on the Horned Wolf’s leash and said to the somewhat hesitant Horned Wolf in a deep voice, “Go and test her.”
That’s the Shiyu Order…
Within the Dragon Country’s forbidden areas, dark organizations existed, and almost everyone within them was invincible among their peers. The outstanding ones were able to hold the Shiyu Order—
Slaying evil spirits and guarding one side!
“What is the Shiyu Order?”
At the back of the team, Xiong Er and the others naturally heard Archbishop Qiyun’s muttering. Their eyes all showed a trace of confusion. At this moment, the female instructor suddenly thought of something, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and a look of surprise suddenly broke out on her face. She explained in a low voice:
“She… is not a member of the National Security Bureau or the Dragon Hunters.”
“But she seems to be…”
Xiong Er looked confused, his gaze still fixed on Su Jiu. He couldn’t help but unconsciously lick his dry lips. He could feel the terrifying aura of that person. Facing such combat power directly, he would probably instantly lose his courage.
The female instructor glanced at Xiong Er’s appearance, sighed, looked up slightly, and said word by word:
“Because she is…”
“A Night Watcher!”
“Wooo—”
Just as everyone was listening to the female instructor’s explanation, the Horned Wolf seemed to hear Archbishop Qiyun’s command. Its body bent slightly, turning into a silver-white beam of light, and with a “boom!” of air explosion, carrying wind and snow, it tore towards Su Jiu, emitting the aura of an Initial Stage Battle King that made the surrounding crowd tremble.
Those students with lower levels couldn’t sense its disappearance at all. They only felt a sudden chill and something passing by them. Chuan Guang, on the other hand, looked at the silver line that suddenly lit up in front of her with a completely bewildered expression, and then at the Horned Wolf’s afterimage that remained in place.
What is going on, who am I…
“Cloud Piercer.”
Seeing the silver line approaching her, Su Jiu’s face remained unchanged. Her toes were an inch away from it. She pulled Chuan Guang’s collar with her left hand and slid back, forming a seal with her right hand. Finally, her eyes focused, she raised her hand, lowered her finger, and lightly pressed forward with a smile.
Suddenly, a large white finger condensed above and behind her, following Su Jiu’s movement and quickly pressing down towards the open space in front of Chuan Guang.
The Horned Wolf’s wolf eyes reflected the giant finger, filled with a very human-like horror. It hadn’t expected Su Jiu to have predicted its feint at some point…
There was no time for it to think any further. With a “boom!”, it suddenly erupted at their point of contact.
“Awooo—”
A huge sound accompanied by a mournful cry. After the frost dispersed, a hole as deep as a well appeared before their eyes.
“Killed in one hit!!”
Everyone was horrified to find that the Horned Wolf’s head had been directly crushed by a thumb emitting frost. The blood plasma turned into red ice crystals and drifted through the night sky, possessing a strange, desolate beauty.
An Initial Stage Battle King level monster beast…
Killed with a single blow?!
That wasn’t some chicken or duck. An Intermediate Battle King was a big shot at the mayor level in a big city. Now, it had been killed with a single blow by the twin-tailed girl in front of them.
“Heh heh… this thing is needed by Little Fool.”
Ignoring the exclamations of the crowd, Su Jiu used her sword to pry out the ice-element Intermediate Magic Crystal, wiped off the blood crystals, and put it into her ring.
“I should have known long ago that someone with a storage ring could not be ordinary. I didn’t expect Elder Su to have been disguised as a student all along, which is admirable.”
Seeing Su Jiu kill her second pet and then excavate the magic crystal, Archbishop Qiyun’s seductive face revealed a solemn expression. Then, as if talking to herself, she said, “However, even if you are an Elder, so what? To reach this position, I have also killed High-Rank Battle Kings.”
“Black-clad Bishop of the Ancient God Sect… I’ve also killed quite a few.”
Before they could sigh for a long time, a cold laugh sounded. Snowflakes suddenly appeared in mid-air. The snowflakes seemed to be stirred by something, and then Su Jiu, holding her sword, suddenly charged forward with a fierce gust of wind.
“Damn Shiyu Order, the rules it carries have suppressed my physical strength by about ten percent of my external qi…”
Looking at the lightning-fast figure charging towards her, Archbishop Qiyun’s pupils narrowed slightly. She then gritted her teeth, and a silver long spear appeared in her hand. Wrapped in frost, she violently met the charge.
The long spear, carrying a fierce gust of wind, was as fast as lightning. In just a blink of an eye, it heavily struck the figure.
“Huff…”
After being hit, the figure trembled violently. The expressions of the onlookers immediately turned grim. Someone exclaimed, “Was that Night Watcher hit?”
“Where did she go?”
As if answering his question, contrary to expectations, there was no hint of excitement on Archbishop Qiyun’s face. She scanned her surroundings nervously, and frost continuously emerged from her long spear. A small blue light circle flickered on the spear handle…
She had to gather her strength for a decisive blow to repel the opponent!
It’s too bizarre!
Suddenly feeling a cold breeze from behind, Archbishop Qiyun’s heart trembled, and she turned around in horror. In the next moment, a dragon pattern long sword emerged, and a chill lightly touched her neck.
“Tell me, where is Master Yu’s daughter.”
Looking at Archbishop Qiyun, who was looking over, Su Jiu showed a gentle smile. However, under the reflection of the ice crystals, that smile made Archbishop Qiyun feel a chill from her feet downwards.
Looking at the twin-tailed girl in front of her, the latter didn’t dare to make any sudden moves. She exhaled a puff of mist, and a smile was forced onto her lips. She said, “She’s not here anyway. If you want to find her, you need to let me go first, otherwise, if you bring that sword down, she might never be found.”
“Is that so? But I think she is far away and yet right before your eyes.”
Su Jiu smiled as she glanced at the other party’s smile. The other party’s words further confirmed her guess—
Before, when she had a confrontation, she hadn’t shed that cumbersome flesh. Even during the battle, she hadn’t shed it. A beautiful woman was willing to fight with a body weighing several hundred pounds.
Heh, her intentions were self-evident.
Su Jiu’s words caused Archbishop Qiyun’s smile to freeze like ice crystals, but the latter quickly recovered her composure and said with a faint smile, “Night Watcher, do you think this humble girl would hide her in a storage bag? That thing can’t hold living creatures…”
“I didn’t say a storage bag, but your… belly, made of material that is immune to mental power detection.”
Seeing her still playing dumb, Su Jiu smiled slightly. Her left hand moved swiftly, directly grabbing the other party’s belly and pulling hard. With a “ripping” sound, a hollow black hole was revealed, emitting a sound like a leaking balloon, and a tender white hand slid out from within…
“Play with my worm powder! All of you, stay with these people!”
Just as Su Jiu was about to pull the hand out, her eyes suddenly felt uncomfortable. As she was about to rub them, with a “whoosh!”, this “big piece of fat” directly slid onto the ground, followed by a black stream of light shooting up into the sky.
Everyone was stunned. Archbishop Qiyun actually shot up into the sky, leaving without looking back. Suddenly, the deadly warriors and cultists around also began to move, turning into black shadows and lunging towards the students, their daggers flashing with cold light.
In less than a second, the healing substance on Su Jiu’s body healed the strange sensation. She looked at the figure that was already hundreds of meters away, a scarlet gleam flashing in her eyes. Her arm trembled, and she drew her sword from bottom to top, lightly exclaiming:
“Blade Draw Slash!”
Amidst the dragon’s roar, frost wrapped around the sword light and then swept towards the figure in the sky. Gradually, the frost and snow transformed into a dragon shape, its body wriggling, and it roared angrily with its mouth open.
“Fortunately, I held back… this person’s strength is infinitely close to the Demigod level, and her skills are incredibly bizarre. I am no match for her.”
Archbishop Qiyun, who was somewhat relieved to have escaped, sensed the approaching coldness, turned around, and saw a frost dragon with a mouth full of sword beams rushing towards her.
Everyone trembled as they watched the figure that was completely swallowed by the frost dragon. Even the deadly warriors and cultists couldn’t help but pause slightly. Before they could even make a move, they were punched away by a pair of fists radiating fiery energy, with no ability to resist.
Soon, the situation on the field became one-sided. After about five minutes, the last cultist was also dealt with. The priest who had been hit by Su Xiao Yu earlier surrendered silently and was spared by Su Jiu after promising to confess everything.
After releasing those who were imprisoned in the mountains and the students contained in the armored vehicles, they learned that there was still a Half-King level military officer.
Su Jiu, along with Su Xiao Yu and the daughter of Master Yu, left first and flew towards the military district.
During the flight, Su Jiu used her mental power to scan the position of the former Archbishop Qiyun. She found that apart from the widespread destruction caused by the energy fluctuations, there was no body to be found…
Sighing inwardly, she thought: This woman didn’t die. She had quite a few alchemical items, but she must have been seriously injured.
Following the main force, Chuan Guang looked at the figure that had already disappeared beside her and felt a strange emptiness. She clenched her fist tightly, recalling the image of the dragon’s roar from that sword, and felt a surge of passion in her heart…
This was the goal she pursued.
…
On the way, Su Jiu inadvertently glanced at Su Xiao Yu who was embracing Liu Lin and the daughter of Master Yu, one on each side. Not only did the former not object, but the latter was also lowering her head with a shy expression.
“I finally understand why you little brats get provoked. Don’t be like this, embracing people left and right inside.”
Su Jiu’s eyes, adorned with small white flowers, widened slightly. She glanced down at the fortress that was now within sight, feeling that it would be better to prevent this kid from doing anything foolish in front of Master Yu.
However, it was also sigh-worthy. The “stupid donkey brother” had transformed into a genius. The former simp had become a war wolf. Indeed, when one became outstanding, simps would be called warm guys…
…
In a forest somewhere, a figure was walking unsteadily. The face was covered with scratches from ice shards, and the flesh was slightly peeling outwards, looking quite terrifying.
It was Archbishop Qiyun, who had been struck by Su Jiu’s Blade Draw Slash.
She held a certain alchemical communicator in her hand and leaned against a tree, pressing a number. Then, she replied with difficulty, “Mission failed, Si Chen, I encountered an Elder…”
After a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator, a magnetic voice replied:
“If you also failed, then we don’t have enough believers. Almost all believers in Yue Nan Province have been investigated…”
“We can only maintain divine descent in 8 cities now.”
Archbishop Qiyun panted heavily. She quickly called her beast pet out to help drive away the peeping monsters. The wind howled, and she stood up slightly, asking again, “What should we do now?”
This time, the voice on the phone was no longer a male voice, but a hoarse female voice:
“You go back to Mao Xiong first. I’ll have someone go to the area east of Mao Xiong to try and find a Snow Demon to replace the sacrifice…”
