CHAPTER 708: CHAPTER 344: SKYLARK VS. SOLOMON

At 4:45 in the morning, Gu Jianlin finally made it to the rooftop of the building. The golden glow in his pupils was so intense that it almost ignited the darkness, like the rise of the sun!

"What a stroke of luck."

He spoke coldly, "I didn’t expect there to be two of you."

He suddenly drew his blade, and the Soul Blade Sound echoed violently, akin to the wailing and roaring of billions of souls in hell. The hysterical sound reverberated through the top-floor office, unleashing a hell-like killing intent.

The man wearing a red skull hood.

And a youth wearing a smiling mask.

This was an unprecedented surprise. This group of trash hiding in the dark had always concealed themselves deeply, never exposing any flaws, not giving you the slightest chance. But tonight, as if the heavens opened their eyes, the leaders of The Order of the Hidden were exposed in front of him, including a mid-level backbone, all standing before him.

That long-forgotten ecstasy.

And the suddenly ignited killing intent.

Almost made him tremble.

Meanwhile, Mr. Solomon looked at him in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn’t comprehend.

How did this person manage to rush up here?

The whole building is experimental subjects, not cabbages.

Over a thousand experimental subjects, even if they were just a thousand cabbages, you’d have to chomp through them for half a month, wouldn’t you?

The most crucial point is, how did a Fifth Rank dare rush up here?

Aren’t you afraid of dying?

"Mr. Solomon!"

Bar said solemnly, "Be careful!"

As a subordinate who has always served this lord, no one understands his temperament better.

This lord often has a fondness for talented people and may even give them opportunities to showcase more abilities. It’s a reward from above, while also an appreciation for the struggle of the weak, like an Ancient Roman noble watching the gladiators fight in the Colosseum.

If a gladiator could charge up to resist, he wouldn’t be angry but find it interesting instead.

What he wants is your resistance.

What he enjoys is breaking everything about you and making you realize how foolish your resistance is.

In an instant, Gu Jianlin burst through the air, and the sword Qi surged like a violent wind, tearing through time and space!

Bar, a Heavenly Master Path practitioner, a Sixth Rank Heavenly Immortal, didn’t hesitate to assume an Evolutionary State, unleashing the elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire mixed with overwhelming mental thought, pouring out like a tide of destruction!

Boom!

Yet unexpectedly, such a violent mental tide was cleaved open with a single slash!

Fierce lightning rushed over, abruptly tearing through his chest, letting out a shrill scream!

Because his body was collapsing, the Ancient God’s Breath was being obliterated madly.

The body structure suffered severe damage!

Heavenly Person!

This was the power of a Heavenly Person!

Gu Jianlin wasted no time, flickering instantly and slashing down!

The target was precisely the man wearing the red skull hood!

Mr. Solomon snorted coldly, simply raised a finger, and the sword Qi was sinister!

Clang!

The fatal strike was effortlessly blocked by a single finger.

This was because the rank difference between the two was immense; he just needed to condense a hint of sword Qi to block this strike.

Sword Sect Path!

Gu Jianlin was not too surprised that this strike was blocked.

The reason he dared to charge up wasn’t without cause.

Because just now, Skylark had awakened, this woman with narcolepsy had regained her strength for a strike, equivalent to having the violent power of Lord of the World once again!

Come forth!

Sparrow Llama!

"Solomon."

The black-haired girl passed through the teenager’s body like a ghost, casually taking over the blood-red ghost knife. The blade’s trembling sound echoed through the world, like the ancient thunder, vast and mighty!

Mr. Solomon’s pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had seen a ghost!

"Surprised? Caught off guard?"

The world suddenly plunged into darkness, with only the shattered knife shadows flashing like frenzied tides, instantly slicing through space and time, like surging out from the river of time, aiming to drown the world!

Clearly, only one slash was made, but the blade light seemed endless, never-ending!

The Eighth Rank of the Ghost Slayer Path, named Zhu Ming.

The ability mastered at this rank is called the Ultimate One Strike, using the power of time and space to create overlapping slashes. Although you only see one slash, what you see is a flood of blade light.

A regular Ghost Slayer Path can slash out five hundred and twelve times in an instant.

A more powerful Ghost Slayer can break through this limit, reaching an unbelievable Divine Communication state.

Skylark is the strongest Ghost Slayer.

Her slashes seem endless.

Infinite!

Without a doubt, Skylark applied the Dimension Slash in her strike.

Space-time collapsed and crumbled, like a shattered black hole, exposing the original darkness of the universe.

Mr. Solomon’s body was cut with countless ghastly sword marks, blood spurting out like waterfalls. His forehead and heart had long been pierced through, and his neck was mercilessly severed, logically he should have been dead.

Yet for some reason, these fatal wounds all shifted from his critical points to unimportant areas.

However, he could only manage to save his life.

Faced with the endless slashes, he retreated in defeat!

Boom!

The night wind suddenly intensified, the chilling sword intent erupted. Countless ghastly sword marks appeared in this office, lines crisscrossed on the ceiling, scattered documents were shredded into countless fragments, and even sparks faintly burst out, lighting up the darkness like a fireworks display!

Sword Qi like the wind, swirled in the darkness, abruptly assaulted the girl.

This is the power of the Ninth-order Taiyi God, everything becomes a sword!

If needed, the entire world is his sword.

Being in this world, how could you escape!

Skylark gave the answer with her actions.

She vanished like a specter, advancing swiftly, slashing down with her blade.

This was a seemingly casual strike, like a fleeting stroke drawn by a girl holding an eyebrow pencil.

Yet it was extremely dangerous!

Crack!

Mr. Solomon’s chest was slashed open, blood gushing out like a radiant waterfall.

He stumbled backward, crashing into the helicopter cabin.

As if disbelief filled him, that he lost just like that.

"Skylark!"

He rasped, "It’s really you!"

Skylark’s ink-drenched black hair fluttered, her enchanting figure resembling a mandala flower born in the darkness. She disdainfully flicked the blood off the blade, indifferently saying, "If The Order of the Hidden wants to kill me, they must pay a price. You, at least, were cautious. Even after being beaten like this, you still won’t go all out?"

Clearly, she thought the person before her was not as simple as he appeared.

Because Mr. Solomon could not possibly be just any ordinary Ninth-order Taiyi God.

He hadn’t used any Forbidden Spell.

Nor had he utilized Mythical Weapon.

Someone of his level would definitely command one of the Supreme Laws.

But he didn’t use it.

Obviously, he was more concerned about whether his identity had been exposed.

The helicopter roared away, the cockpit unmanned, astonishingly piloted remotely.

Mr. Solomon stared hard at her and suddenly smiled, speaking in a low voice, "It seems that you’re not in a good state either, so why don’t you kill me now? Are you just going to watch me leave?"

Skylark’s gaze turned icy, her stunning face suddenly pale.

"It seems that back on the Stairway to Immortality, you indeed didn’t fully evolve and were severely injured."

Mr. Solomon laughed, "It seems that tonight, although there was a bit of an accident, it was not without gains."

"Goodbye, dear lady. It’s a pity you missed this one rare chance to kill me, and I won’t give you a second chance. Why not seriously consider joining us? For a unique being like you, our doors are always open."

Covered in blood, he waved goodbye, disappearing into the darkness.

The helicopter roared away, vanishing into the dark.

In fact, with Skylark’s speed, she could easily catch up with that helicopter.

But she didn’t.

"Why not pursue?"

Gu Jianlin’s eyes showed no emotion, intently staring at the woman.

Skylark squinted her beautiful eyes, coldly saying, "I’m injured, can’t chase."

After a brief time together, Gu Jianlin gained a certain understanding of this woman.

Instinct told him that this woman intentionally didn’t pursue.

It’s not that she was injured and couldn’t catch up, or dared not pursue.

It seemed that this woman came tonight just to strike someone down.

Of course, Gu Jianlin wasn’t stupid; she surely wasn’t simply here to harm or vent.

There was a different purpose.

"As long as we can confirm this Mr. Solomon isn’t Jiang Chunyang, it’s fine."

Skylark calmly said, "Don’t look at me with those eyes; isn’t there still a small lackey?"

Gu Jianlin knew this wasn’t a time for questions, he could only turn towards the end of the office.

Bar had already returned to his office chair, hands folded in front, panting as he spoke, "It seems Mr. Solomon intends to abandon me? How pitiful, this is the tragedy of weakness. If you’re not strong enough, you’ll be easily discarded. But the problem is, even if you catch me, it’s useless. Someone of my level has joined a unified will, and you can’t probe my memory."

His chest was torn, golden glow spreading, corroding his body.

Yet his gaze remained calm.

The computer had already self-destructed; surprisingly, he opened a secret compartment under the desk.

Click.

He pressed a button.

"The experiment subjects throughout the city have all been released by me."

Struggling to smile, he said, "This is the price for your transgression."

Gu Jianlin’s expression shifted slightly; heaven knows how many experiment subjects The Order of the Hidden created here.

Once released, Tokyo might descend into chaos.

"What does the life of rabble have to do with me?"

Skylark said indifferently, "I just need to capture you and perform Causal Retrospection."

At this moment, Bar’s gaze changed, "Causal Retrospection? Who exactly are you?"

Before the words finished, his hand was already forming a seal under the table.

The wild breath of the Ancient God converged.

Revealing Primordial Return.

Gu Jianlin turned to look at the black-haired girl beside him.

"Why are you looking at me? Dealing with Solomon was already tiring enough; don’t you know how to appreciate beauty?"

Skylark curled her lips, said faintly, "This person is a rare material; you can practice your skills. Your application of the Heavenly Person Realm is too rudimentary. Call me sister, and I’ll teach you how to use it."

On the thirty-second floor of Gongjiang Manufacturing Company, the Think Tank finally heard the explosion’s roar.

Hmm, Su Youxia must have finally destroyed the Alchemy Matrix.

The young ones are quite capable.

As for the battle happening on the rooftop, he didn’t really want to comment on it.

It seemed a bit intimidating.

The experimental subjects were still tearing at his flesh, yet he acted as if nothing happened, fishing out his phone, smiling as he spoke, "Alright, I’ve secured your precious daughter and your son-in-law for you. Hah, I must admit, these young people are quite interesting. I truly didn’t expect them to find their way here."

"The purge operation against The Order of the Hidden is about to begin; pursue to your heart’s content."

He sighed, "However, killing Mr. Solomon is still a bit challenging because this is no longer a matter of violence. It must be the Ancient Supreme coming in person, and in the conventional sense of the Ancient Supreme, not one whose mind is compromised."

A cold voice came through the phone, "So how do you plan to clear The Order of the Hidden?"

"Don’t worry, I have a helper."

The Think Tank thought for a moment, smiled, "The Tianshu Rebirth Plan is about to start, and I have to ensure everything’s foolproof."
