Chapter 451: Chapter 163: Three Demon God Forbidden
Techniques 3
But now, witnessing this scene, he realized he was even more wrong. This guy is not just ordinarily powerful, it’s absurd!
The X Bureau field agents are not ordinary people.
He went step by step from an outstanding graduate to a trainee agent, to the current squad leader…
You could say he grew up carrying the names “genius” and “elite”.
But looking at this guy now, his eyes gained an untold understanding of how outrageous this was.
If this fellow had fought him in this state just now, he felt he wouldn’t have had any chance.
Such madness could make a person’s heart palpitate from hundreds of meters away.
But there were more than just Reuel Bible and the armless God Thief watching the battle between Leonard Churchill and Robin Smith. There was a fourth person too.
A cloaked figure wearing a mask, stood atop a broken building in the distance. Looking at the sun and moon battling in the sky, he was not at all surprised, only muttering, “This relic of Summer Shepherd City is one of the locations of the Four Pillar Seals. The Silver Moon Leader’s plan to unseal the depths with a blood war is clever indeed…”
“If left unopposed, the resurrection of the ‘Lord of Dreams and Joy’ Arachne would bring chaos. But the prophecy points towards the tomb of Mad King Augustus, which holds the secret of the Great Catastrophe. To unlock the tomb, the Four Pillar Seals must be broken… Oh dear, it’s so troublesome.”
“I wonder which link is missing… the God Slayer hereditary from Grandmaster Taren’s lineage? The Order of the Mysteries? The Poker Monk Association? I wonder if these ancient organizations have managed to preserve their heritages… If my world calculation is not wrong, they should show up.”
As the cloaked figure observed the battlefield, he made notes and sketches in a small notebook, calculating something.
But, it also seemed like he was missing… something unknown.
At some point, it was as if he sensed something.
His gaze penetrated through the thick fog and settled on Leonard and Robin, engaged in fierce battle.
“The Supreme Tyrant Body, Gluttony, Undying Curse… the appearance of three Demon God Forbidden Skills in the same person? Interesting… The Epic Card which have been hidden in the dust of history, the legendary Joker, has it finally surfaced?”
With a thought, the cloaked figure jotted down some additional notes.
The ominous smile on Leonard’s face grew brighter and brighter.
Upon closer look, the sharp steel wires twined around his body didn’t continue to sink into his flesh. Instead, his bulging muscles gradually expanded, creating a “creak, creak” sound that resembled the grating noise of metal friction.
With Curse Power surged, a bronze metallic sheen radiated from his skin, growing more prominent.
He appeared as if he transformed from a creature of flesh and blood to a metal-cast werewolf.
Moreover, as a result of continuous cellular activity boiling, his original wounds were rapidly healing too.
“Hehe…”
From dozens of meters away, Leonard glanced at the famous detective with a grinning smile.
The smile full of carefree satisfaction.please visit ” sitestorys(.)c0m ” maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
This is the smile of acknowledging one’s competitor!
If it wasn’t for such an opponent, how could one experience such joy.
He savored the exhilarating sensation of a sudden insight.
Even the Overlord Body Method that he failed to grasp previously seemed a bit more comprehensible now.
Although it was just a tiny bit.
But combined with his durable werewolf body, this was enough to ensure his survival under the steel wires.
Leonard experienced the moment when the defense of his physical body clashed with the sharp cutting of the steel wires. He pulled forcefully.
In terms of pure strength, Leonard didn’t think any Second Order Card Master could compare with him!
Taken by surprise, Robin was flown straight towards Leonard’s face.
With a slight slack, the tight steel wires instantly loosened.
Leonard freed himself from the restraint, stomped on the ground with a
“boom,” and the ground cracked open like a spider web.
At such a close distance, the opponent had no room to evade.
“Pshht.” At one glance, Leonard’s werewolf claw had pierced through Robin’s chest.
One grab and the heart was torn out.
The claw pierced through the chest and the back.
Stinky black blood sprayed out.
Leonard didn’t seem to care, even when the sizzling sound of the corrosive liquid was produced on his fur like strong acid.
Leonard looked at the opponent with a smile that reflected the overflowing blood and yet maintained a calm demeanor. His other werewolf claw was swung directly at the opponent’s face.
Seeing this, Robin exerted force between his fingers, and the steel wires instantly tightened. His whole body was dragged, and he flew backwards.
In mid-air, the frightening wound in his chest was quickly restored by some black writhing tissue.
As if nothing had happened.
Only the big hole torn in the robe left a trace of the prior assault.
Leonard never thought that killing this guy could be so easy. He stepped into the air once more, tenaciously pursuing.
Now the steel wires posed little threat to him, so face-to-face combat was the best strategy.
At this moment, his speed completely crushed that of the detective, chasing him down for a fierce pounding.
“Thump”, “thump”, “thump”…
The clash became more intense.
Leonard Churchill was like a tiger freed from its cage, battling unreservedly.
But amidst the Second Tier, how could there possibly be an opponent for his physical strength?!
Robin Smith completely followed the rules of the game, even if he was hammered like a sandbag, flying back and smashing one building after another.
But from beginning to end, he didn’t use any tactics beyond the means of a Second Order Card Master.
The two were tangled in combat like this.
Leonard Churchill fought fiercely, while Robin Smith held an overwhelming advantage in skill.
It was a case of “obtaining victory through skill rather than force”.
Leonard Churchill could inflict seventy percent damage, but he could return thirty percent as well.
Thus, the tempo of their battle came to a standstill.
What was most crucial was that both were “immortals” achieved through different paths.
To attempt to kill with one blow, the possibility was extremely low.
The battle began when the artifact wire couldn’t handle Leonard Churchill, turning it into a war of attrition.
But Leonard Churchill didn’t think that the opponent’s healing came without a price.
He could clearly sense that each time a fatal wound was inflicted, the opponent’s aura grew weaker.
Perhaps what that guy was expending was his lifespan.
Both sides continued in this manner.
It seemed like a contest of who had a longer life to spend.
Although Robin Smith was extremely intrigued by such a rare opponent.
The difference in their tiers was inevitable.
His pleasure was less than what Leonard Churchill experienced.
Not long after.
With a “thump”, watching his body being shattered by a peculiar fist technique once again, Robin Smith spurted out blood as he was thrown back.
The moment he halted his body, he made a stopping gesture.
Leonard Churchill stopped as well.
Robin Smith exhaled deeply and laughed bitterly, “Ah… what an exaggerated physical strength. You win.”
These words declared the outcome of the duel.
No more fighting.
The red glow in Leonard Churchill’s eyes dimmed and the rush of crazy thoughts in his heart receded like a tide.
Rationality regained its dominance.
He expressed his respect for an honourable opponent and said, “Thank you for going easy on me.”
But Robin Smith shook his head, saying frankly, “I can’t win against you with second-order tactics. I’m willing to admit defeat.”
Although he didn’t use any High Tier Card Master tactics, his superior skills from a few higher tiers gave him a significant advantage.
He couldn’t kill him, so in reality, he had already lost.
Moreover, amongst the Second Order, controlling the Overlord Body Method and Undying Curse, both Demon God Forbidden Skills, Robin Smith couldn’t think of any chance he had to win.
It was a fair defeat.
He looked at Leonard Churchill and laughed, “You are indeed special. Keep striving to become stronger. I really look forward to the day we can compete fairly.”
As for the mission?
Heh, whoever wants to take on it, can have it.
He had no interest in killing such a promising opponent.
Leonard Churchill returned to his human form and was excited: “Okay!”
From afar, Reuel Bible watched the two stop fighting and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, there was no need to collect the bodies.
However, what no one expected was-
At that moment, the ground suddenly quaked violently.
Like an earthquake, the entire city ruins were shaking.
The countless dilapidated tall buildings instantly collapsed, sinking deep into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, a massive pit, several kilometers in diameter and bottomless, appeared in the center of the city ruins.
Upon seeing this, Reuel Bible suddenly realized: “Not good! The Silver Moon Sect leader has opened the seal with a blood sacrifice!”
