Chapter 438: Chapter 160: Counter-killing The Five-Man Squad
Translator: 549690339
The person in black merely borrowed a partial power of the high-level laws from the Disaster Object, whereas encircling the Silver Moon Leader was the actual thread of divine power.
What’s more, the X-712-Moon in her hand is also a Disaster Object!
The moonlight above the heads of the Silver Moon Sect members became increasingly brighter, gradually overpowering the distant red sun.
Like a retreating tide, the bright colours in their eyes became serene.
The previously distorted oil painting world also started to return to normal.
The moonlight, acting as a barrier, kept the pervasive fire out of sight.
The pale white moonlight washed down like a waterfall, finally lowering the blistering temperature of space.
The threat of death was instantaneously alleviated.
The chilly, pleasant feeling made one’s pores feel relaxed.
Looking at his fur, which was gradually recovering from being charred and smoky, Leonard Churchill grinned and said, “Survived after all…”
It must be said, the X Bureau did a decent job in terms of both strength and strategy.
The Disaster Object they bought was likely powerful enough to kill anyone they wanted dead.
With control over a specific domain and a group attack that leaves no blind spots, it provided no means of escape.
Such a pity.
They underestimated the now established Silver Moon Leader.
The residual light was like a cold flame, burning a large hole in the oil painting.
The Silver Moon Leader barked, “You go first!”
Without any hesitation, Leonard Churchill, Hunchbacked Old Cook and several living Silver Moon Believers sprang out of the domain.
Looking again, they found themselves back in the rundown building.
However, unlike before, the surroundings looked as if they were drenched in strong acid, making everything look battered and rotten.
Not just here, a large area covered in fog was in the same condition.
Upon seeing this, Leonard Churchill instantly understood.
The X-215-Monet’s Sunrise didn’t just affect the world within the domain, the damage from the law was also reflected in the real world.
Although he had escaped, the crisis was not yet over.
Without giving it a second thought, Hunchbacked Old Cook yelled, “We are surrounded, let’s go!”
Without needing a reminder, Leonard Churchill didn’t consider anyone else.
The moment he emerged, he stomped his feet on the ground, and immediately disappeared from sight.
The rest of the cloaked men were a bit slower to react, but they scattered in all directions just the same.
The people from the X Bureau were well-prepared.
The man in black wasn’t the only one involved.
They had already deployed heavy forces all around.
But because Leonard Churchill and his team broke through the domain so abruptly, the encirclement of the X Bureau’s special forces had not yet fully closed in.
When Leonard Churchill and his team scattered in different directions, those guys were clearly a moment too slow in their response.
In this split second, the werewolf Leonard Churchill had already darted a few hundred meters further into the ruins in the northwest direction.
Behind him, an Elite Squad was in hot pursuit.
Escape?
No, no, no.
Now that the imminent danger had been averted, it was time to find some amusement.
Some thoughts started to churn inside Leonard Churchill’s mind.
If he genuinely wanted to escape, given the exceedingly complex layout of the city ruins, the possibility of escaping was high.
But that was not what he wanted.
At this moment, the ferocious eyes of the Werewolf started brimming with a wanton sneer.
Not because he wanted to stir up trouble.
But because after running for a while, Leonard Churchill noticed that the pursuing squad had a strong sense of purpose.
A playful notion formed in his mind, and he made a guess, “They’re after me…”
The Werewolf calmly eyed the five-man squad behind him. The man leading the squad, masked by a hood, seemed like a Third Order Card Master of the God Thief Sequence.
As he ran, his figure appeared smoky and elusive, flashing in and out of visibility.
This was clearly the exclusive Golden level body technique of the Fallen Path, the Mist Shadow Instant Body.
Anyone capable of mastering this technique must necessarily be a Card Master of exceptional talent.
Even within the Third Order Card Masters, having such speed was extremely rare.
Several people from the Silver Moon Sect had escaped in different directions. Yet, oddly enough, this very squad chose to chase the fastest runner – himself?
Leonard Churchill had no delusions.
X Bureau members didn’t rely on luck to solve cases.
This squad was after him, specifically.
Initially, he thought that the X Bureau had selected an alternative channel for gathering information and had accidentally caused him harm without going through Reuel Bible.
He could understand that.
But now, looking at the relentless pursuit of the targeted squad behind him, he immediately confirmed that these people were deliberately trying to kill him!
Having confirmed this, the twinkle in Leonard Churchill’s eyes turned cold.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but smirk, “Interesting… they know I’m here and have even arranged for an expert to kill me. Seems like Old Bible might have been sold out too. Could it be pressure from the Miller Family, or perhaps the Lionheart Family…”
Since they were here to kill him, there was no need to be courteous anymore.
He quickly processed various thoughts in his mind.
If Leonard Churchill were still a First Tier, he wouldn’t have been able to escape today’s calamity.
How unfortunate for them.
Information in enemy’s possession was outdated.
For the squad structured for killing a First Tier enemy, he would have been an easy prey.
But now, he was Second Tier.
Without running at full speed, Leonard Churchill gave the pursuers behind a chance to catch up.
At this moment, the men behind him suddenly opened fire.
Bang, bang, bang.
The special bullets exploded like confetti, instantly filling the air with a faint herbal aroma.
“Wolfsbane?”
Leonard Churchill’s sense of smell was extremely sharp, enabling him to instantly identify the smell..
