Chapter 767: Shattered Golden Pillar (Part 2)
“Take this…”
A gentle female voice suddenly sounded. As the hand in the light armor pressed down on the scythe handle, a crimson-gold airflow emerged. Her waist-length silver hair rose with the wind, and the girl lightly touched the iris hairpin on her hair.
“Leave it to me.”
The scythe, rendered in crimson-gold external qi, caused the butterfly patterns wrapped around its handle to seem to come alive. At the other end, Bairnis’s unique sea-blue law halo hung at the tail of the scythe’s handle.
It provided a unique attribute amplification at all times.
This was the Butterfly Knight’s exclusive gift to the Blood Clan Princess, something no individual Priest skill amplification could match—
All attributes increased by 30%, with added healing effects.
“Flash!”
As raven feathers fluttered, Su Jiu suddenly stomped her foot, her figure flashing out. The red glow in her eyes stretched into a straight red line, and the cold glint of the giant scythe seemed to be able to tear space, with an inexplicable white glow surging from its edge.
Dream of Blossoms!
“Night Watcher Elder…”
Seeing the change in opponent, the middle-aged Ferryman did not pause. He didn’t even think much about it; the arrow was already on the string, and he could only thrust directly at the girl in front of him.
“Who is this?!”
Everyone’s eyes watched the scene. Their vision blurred, and in an instant, two streaks of light collided. However, the expected sound of metal clashing did not occur, only a “chara—” sound.
“When did that happen? How could she be so fast?”
The middle-aged Ferryman stiffened, his legs scraping the ground for several meters. His pupils constricted, and he looked down at his abdomen covered by black clothing.
There, there was a smooth cutting line, and blood flowed out profusely. The golden light of the formation surged towards the wound from the black hole, seeming to stop this not-so-fatal wound.
He understood clearly that without the Sacrificial Array, he would already be a corpse.
In fact, it couldn’t be blamed on the Ferryman for falling for Su Jiu’s Dream of Blossoms. When fighting Bairnis earlier, he was already heavily depleted. The Sacrificial Array’s function was like adrenaline, not super-tier healing, and the effects were still present.
“Heh heh, don’t think I’m unprepared.”
However, this moment of distraction lasted only for an instant. His gaze suddenly sharpened. He lightly brushed his ring, waved his hand, and five figures appeared, wearing different clothes. The metallic sheen hinted that they were no longer human.
In the next moment, the golden pillar “boom!” sounded, projecting several golden lights that surged into their bodies. Affected by the Sacrificial Array, these figures appeared even more powerful, with almost every figure radiating the aura of a Beginner War God.
“These are five alchemical puppets?!”
People inside and outside the arena looked at these five figures with shock. The Grand Commander also suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on one of the figures wearing tattered Dragon Hunter clothes.
“As expected, the serial killer is him.”
He clenched his fist. During the pursuit of this Ferryman, a Battle King level commander had been killed, and his body’s whereabouts were still unknown.
“Let’s try. Facing the combined attack of us six, can you still be so relaxed? Even if you have the strength to approach a Night Watcher Elder, so what…”
A slightly chilling voice slowly came from behind the five golden figures, and then the middle-aged Ferryman stepped out, staring at Su Jiu with a sinister gaze.
“Your War God level puppets are still immortal, aren’t they?”
Su Jiu gripped the scythe in reverse, strands of silver hair drifting along the raven feathers on her shoulder. She let out a light breath, her blood eyes not showing a single ripple, her gaze looking further north.
She had encountered these kinds of puppets before. The first time she met Vivian, she had encountered the exact same ones, but they weren’t this powerful back then.
Now, all she had to do was wait…
Wait for a favorable wind.
The blood of the Blood Clan made her calmer in the long night, like a true Blood Clan Duke.
“Heh heh… ha ha!!”
“Immortal?”
As soon as this was said, almost everyone was stunned. When they saw the Ferryman covering his forehead and laughing, a chill surged from the soles of their feet. This time, they were truly in trouble.
“Kill her!”
Expressionless, the Ferryman raised his hand and pointed sharply at Su Jiu, his mouth splitting into a terrifying grin, and he slowly laughed, “Killing a Night Watcher who approaches Elder level will be a good merit.”
“Bang!”
As soon as his words fell, the five alchemical puppets stomped on the ground fiercely and shot towards Su Jiu like streaks of light. Intense energy filled the entire space. The hair of the five puppets was golden, like Super Saiyans.
“Stand up again, everyone.”
Seeing the alchemical puppets dive down, Su Jiu did not make a move. She merely tilted her head slightly and called out softly. Her clothes fluttered, like a true monarch of the night.
She originally didn’t want to expose this method, but in this situation, she could only stall for time for E Huo, waiting for the favorable wind to arrive earlier.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!”
Under the shadows, figures began to writhe, one, two… until Feng’s figure reappeared among them. Except for Ying San, all eight figures stood orderly, like guards before the monarch of the night.
“Boss!”
Each of them exuded a strong aura, with black law halos above their heads, like a crack elite squad.
“That red warrior is a summoned creature? Is this strong person a summoner?”
“I’ve seen them, they saved us outside earlier…”
When these strong figures reappeared, both the people outside and the students gasped in surprise, because they realized that these strong figures seemed to be summoned creatures and could not die at all!
“Sister is already this strong? She actually has her own subordinates…”
Su Xiao Yu looked at the silver-haired figure swaying in the wind and couldn’t help but sigh slightly. He seemed to have a deeper impression of the “Golden Generation” mentioned by Old Man. Their growth rate was insurmountable.
They were like protagonists in novels, having so-called systems, and after signing in at a place, they could gain powerful cultivation.
But he understood that his sister wasn’t like that. The hardships she had endured and the experiences she had gone through in one year were more than what ordinary people could experience in several lifetimes.
“Old Dad?”
Xiao Yezi’s eyes reflected the figure. She inexplicably felt a sense of security. This was the first time Su Jiu, her father, had shown his strength in front of her. Besides being powerful, her only feeling was – cool.
Perhaps only such a person could be worthy of her eccentric mother?
On the other side, Old Man had already stood up, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow. A vortex of wind swirled on the arrow, and his turbid eyes held an inexplicable color. He was also waiting, waiting for the brilliant golden pillar to shatter…
To stage a scene of expulsion.
“Let’s block these people together.”
Feng responded in a low voice, his voice somewhat deep. Then, he directly stomped on the ground and charged towards the rushing metal puppets. Behind him, those shadow guards also shot out silently, their dark external qi shaking the ground that was under the golden protective umbrella.
Regarding this change, Su Jiu just smiled. Her gaze met with the Ferryman opposite her. She tapped the scythe handle rhythmically with her fingertips and said softly, “It seems you are not the winner either?”
She knew very well that she was currently in the third level of Elegy, and if she engaged in high-intensity combat, she wouldn’t be able to maintain it for long.
“Fine, so these people in black are your arrangements…”
The middle-aged Ferryman spoke in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Feng, his heart churning like a stormy sea. He remembered that this person had dragged him down before, and together they were covered by the scythe.
And now, he had been resurrected.
Su Jiu smiled without speaking. Her gaze still passed through the middle-aged man in the fisherman’s outfit and looked into the distance, her gaze landing on E Huo’s direction…
Seeing that Su Jiu was not in a hurry to attack, the middle-aged Ferryman narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze swept towards the “God” that was slowly revealing half of its body. Although there was only energy from one direction, the formation could still operate.
As long as he could stall, he would win.
He suddenly thought of something, his mouth split open, and he pointed with his gloved finger at the token on Su Jiu’s waist, deliberately amplifying his voice with external qi:
“I have this token too. As an Elder level individual, you should have heard our story. What’s so good about the Night Watchers? You have to abide by the rules and work for a bunch of fools. Why not throw yourself into the embrace of the gods?”
“What is the Night Watcher?”
His words, through the live broadcast, reached the outside world. Many uninformed viewers were stunned, but those with some strength showed great alarm, for they knew what organization this was.
“It’s them!!”
At the location of Jiang Hai High School, the grade director was stunned, as if she remembered something, her fingers trembling slightly. She remembered that bloody night…
“Is it… her?”
At Niu Sangen’s location, he pinched out his cigarette butt and looked at Su Jiu. Although he couldn’t see her face, looking at the flying raven feather shoulder guard, he felt that the person was the girl who solved the Scarlet Flame Wolf in class.
After learning that she was a Night Watcher, he was not surprised. He felt that only such a low-profile organization could produce such combat power.
“Fools? As a Night Watcher, the resources you obtain are perhaps hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary people. If you wear the crown, you should bear its weight. Isn’t this the most basic thing?”
Su Jiu knew who he was, but she chose not to expose him. Instead, she followed his words, deliberately slowing down her pace.
“Heh heh, foolish! If there were really such good benefits, why wouldn’t those strong individuals flock to do it? The death rate of Night Watchers is also the highest among the three major organizations. They are just selling their lives for money. Don’t tell me about benefits…”
Seeing that Su Jiu directly admitted her former identity as a Night Watcher, a hint of joy appeared in the Ferryman’s eyes. He had two objectives:
First, to create trouble for White Crow, and second, to make the people of this city hate White Crow.
He spread his hands and continued, a hint of madness appearing on his face: “To put it bluntly, you want to be a Night Watcher to enjoy the privilege of killing without responsibility that comes with the identity. But if that’s the case, why not become a Ferryman of the Holy Church?”
“We kill wantonly and can obtain even greater strength through sacrifices, while Night Watchers, even if they kill without responsibility, still have to go through various procedures. Is this what you call justice?”
“Truly laughable…”
“Whoosh!” Suddenly, a signal flare was lit in the north. He stopped speaking and looked in that direction…
With a soft exhale, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed. The fingers tapping the scythe handle stopped. She lowered her head, letting the gentle breeze blow through her silver hair, and said in a voice only audible to the two of them:
“So, you are not.”
As her words fell, a crisp sound echoed from the very center – “Crack!” Cracks like a spiderweb began to appear without warning!
The golden light pillar shattered from the inside out!
