Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 427: Decisive Kill (Added chapters seeking monthly ticket)

In front of Su Lu stood five individuals.

Three of them wore similar attire, each bearing an unusual short sword, radiating a strong sense of danger.

Besides them stood two others, one donning a mage’s hood and another carrying a heavy shield.

“The Welsh brothers-Rick, Thorn, and Bod, along with the ‘Shield of the Earth’ Bob, the ‘Spirit Magician’ Tops… This is not your territory, leave promptly. Do you wish to incite another war?”

Arsen faced off against these five legendary professionals, rebuking angrily.

“There are no geographical divisions between spiritual realms, no such thing as invasion…” Tops, the elderly man, didn’t have any eyebrows. His pupils were blood-red, exuding a wicked aura.

‘This kind of feeling?’

Su Lu tasted a sense of discomfort at the corners of his mouth, reminiscent of the time at Posey Port where he encountered the one who could control evil spirits.

This individual’s methods were rather unusual, actively seeking to merge with evil spirits and using his own body as the cage to trap them. Borrowing the powers of evil spirits, he was filled with a taste of madness.

This Tops inspired a very similar feeling in him.

‘Yet, he has manipulated a fifth-level Spiritual Body without dying?’ Su Lu couldn’t help but admire Tops’ tenacity.

Such occupational persons, possessing the power to bind evil spirits, were the most suitable to explore the Spirit World besides the [Spirit Mediums] and [Necromancers]. It was no wonder he appeared amongst the ranks of the Chris Empire.

In contrast, the hulky shield-bearer was tall and heavily built, his chest covered with black fur as if he was a monstrous black bear.

Lastly, the most threatening Welsh brothers, identical and dressed in hunters’ outfits, had crimson capes flowing down from their right shoulders, white feathered hats atop their heads, and long-boots on their feet.

“All three Welsh brothers are [Sword Saints], I am not confident of handling any one of them…”

Celsus whispered only loud enough for Su Lu to hear as he gradually blended into the shadows.This was an initiation of the [King of Assassination]’s ‘Shadow Hiding’ ability. His skills already surpassed the [Wanderers] and [Shadow Warriors] by a significant amount.

Clearly, he was more wary of the three [Sword Saints].

‘Based on Dunstan’s hints, in case of unexpected circumstances, Celsus and I can retreat immediately… It seems that the Green Tree Castle has been somewhat disappointed with the Federation after the Arcane Spirit incident. He knows well that given my abilities, I can whisk Celsus out of danger in minutes…’

While lost in his thoughts, Su Lu was also listening to the banter between the two factions.

At the fifth level, all occupational persons were fully aware.

The worldly laws and such were virtually meaningless to them.

The only thing they feared was the most direct and violent form of power!

…

“…Regardless of your intentions, I will stop you.” After the war of words, Arsen mocked, “However, it appears you have already failed.”

“Shewinado has hidden the temple…” Tops said, “This indeed caused us some minor trouble, but not enough to deter us. Besides, we have already found a solution.”

He chuckled, not elaborating further, but instead suggested, “Since both parties don’t share the same principles, there’s only one thing left to do. Are we going to gang up or stick to the old rules?”

Fifth Level Professionals seldom manage to kill one another.

Thus, most of their conflicts were like mutual exchanges, only deciding who wins and who loses.

Arsen had a change in expression.

Although he dearly desired to annihilate the opposition here and now, upon seeing their formation, he realized that this might be a tall order.

Driving this group of people away would be a sufficiently large victory.

“Each side sends out three individuals, one on one, the winner takes the location, the loser leaves.”

He took a deep breath, agreeing to Tops’ suggestion.

“Very well.”

Tops slightly signaled and one of the brothers stepped forward: “Thorn Welsh!”

Although [Sword Saints] were terrifyingly strong, they were also glass cannons.

Seeing him step out first, Arsen looked at Lawrence and Celsus among others: “We each have one person.”

“No problem.”

“I have no objections.”

Lawrence and Celsus agreed after a brief exchange of glances.

“Hehe… In that case, let us from the church carry out the first round. James!” Lawrence’s face was smiling, under his instigation, James Pottery directly stood in the field.

His eyes, which were seemingly lifeless, did not say anything, but a holy flame burned on his body.

Extreme and powerful breath was continually dispersed around him.

“[Holy Warrior]?”

Thorn licked his lips: “Good… I just want to try if a [Holy Warrior] can withstand the sword of a [Sword Saint].”

[Holy Warrior] became famous for their powerful physical form, which could even perform bare-handed combat with the [Hell Demon], making them absolutely abnormal in terms of physical strength.

Obviously, Thorn was targeted in the first round.

Both parties were watching the field with tension.

Suddenly, Thorn made a move!

Swish!

He drew out the short sword from his waist, the radiance seemed to have condensed into a line, directly aimed at James’s heart.

Fast!

The sword of a [Sword Saint] was too fast that it was frightening!

Puff!

The thin line of light pierced through James, but it was just an afterimage.

Next to Thorn, James’s figure emerged, his face showed no fluctuations, and he punched him!

Boom!

Although the force exerted by his punch was very short, the strength was so great that it exploded the air, making a crisp sound.

Crack!

Thorn’s upper body tilted back, his waist formed a dent at a painful ninety angle, which allowed him to dodge what would have been a direct punch.

Not only that, his long sword was retracted quickly and again stabbed towards James’s chest.

Poof!

When the holy flame met the shadow of the sword, it was as if the flame was a soap bubble, which was pierced with one strike and disappeared.

— Demon breaking!

This is the most terrifying ability of the [Sword Saint]’s sword.

Upon seeing this scene, Tops’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

And Lawrence looked at Su Lu with a vague smile on his lips.

Puff!

This time, James didn’t dodge, the long sword vibrated and directly stabbed into his body.

His body muscles rose, shining with a metallic luster, and made a crisp sound.

This is the ability of a [Holy Warrior] to enhance their physical form, the hardness was definitely stronger than steel.

But the sword of the [Sword Saint] was too sharp!

The two just stalemate for less than a second, the sword directly broke open James’s chest and stabbed in fiercely, blood splattering.

James suffered such a heavy blow, yet didn’t even blink, his arms spread out, catching Thorn in a bear hug.

Crack!

Click!

The harsh sound of bones breaking could be heard.

“Stop it!”

“No!”

Among the exclaims from Tops side, he used his arms to force, and directly rolled Thorn into a rag doll within his arms!
