CHAPTER 738: CHAPTER 356: THE QILIN APPEARS (PART 3)

The bodies of the Black Judge and White Judge collapsed to the ground.

The former decayed into ashes, while the latter withered like a burning paper figure, turning to dust.

This was undoubtedly a crushing defeat, as the two Holy Land Level powerhouses were instantly killed without any ability to resist.

Especially considering that Jing Ci had already activated Primordial Return, he could only face the battle in a relatively weakened state.

The only dignity was that upon reaching the Holy Land Level, they would not be killed so easily.

They had means to save their lives.

This was also part of their plan: if they were instantly killed, they would switch to dealing with the real target.

In any case, Jiang Chunyang wouldn’t expect them to defeat this terrifying demon.

Jing Ci breathed in the fragrance of blood, the crimson in his pupils growing more intense. He casually discarded two still-beating hearts and tore off the obstructive suit jacket, ripping his tie apart as well.

His white shirt was stained with blood as he spread his arms open to face the Tokyo night.

"The appetizer is over."

He said indifferently: "Who’s next?"

Someone emerged from the silent long street.

It was a person draped in a black robe, like a priest from ancient times, with eyes faintly glowing with a blood-red light, surprisingly a pair of severe dragon eyes, with a surge of overwhelming dragon aura.

It wasn’t just him.

More and more figures in black robes stepped out, appearing under the light like ghosts resurrected from the dead.

A glimpse of their face revealed it was disturbingly perfect, with skin pale to a sickly degree.

The vast dragon aura spread outward.

The Azure Dragon above the firmament lowered its gaze, a hint of apathy in its blood-colored vertical pupils.

Anyone who could stand up under his Primordial Return was naturally not a weakling.

These were the Pseudo Ancestors from Buzhou Mountain.

And their ranks were quite high, at least above the Eighth Rank.

The former Miyamoto Shosuke was just a temporary shell, a mere inferior product compared to them.

"You use the technology she obtained, with human shells to fight me."

Jing Ci flicked the blood from his hands and said coldly: "That’s fine."

In an instant, he disappeared like a broken phantom, forcefully shattering time and space!

The Pseudo Ancestors looked up, and beneath their black hoods were faces rapidly undergoing drastic transformations, like turning into dragons!

Time rewound to five minutes earlier.

With a thunderous explosion, a violent Void Dog Cannon destroyed the subway entrance, the terrifying light and heat pouring out like a flood, mercilessly engulfing the entire long street and turning it into a sea of fire.

Gu Jianlin darted behind a tree, leaning against the trunk and panting heavily.

He shifted to the Divine Path, desperately clinging to the tree to perform the frantic Priest ritual, devouring the immense life force.

At the moment, his condition was dire; half of his body remained engulfed by red-hot markings, akin to the scars left by molten lava corroding the ground. The excruciating pain of being torn to pieces was unbearable. Even running this short distance left him on the verge of collapse, feeling as if he might topple over at any moment.

"I’ll carry you."

The Moon Princess, without hesitation, took hold of him, her height only 1.55 meters, petite and delicate.

Carrying a 1.85-meter-tall youth was quite strenuous.

Fortunately, she was currently in her Evolutionary State, with the Ancient God’s Breath enhancing her petite and soft body, granting her formidable physical strength. She could kill a bull with just the simplest muscle force of a punch.

Vague ghosts trailed along the long street, licking the blood on the ground.

It was one of her Mythical Weapons, specifically used to cover their traces.

No one should get the youth’s blood.

Otherwise, his identity would be exposed.

The pursuers were about 500 meters away.

The issue was the surrounding three kilometers were locked down by the Overlord Path, quite a troublesome situation.

"No, it’s a tug-of-war. Carrying me will slow you down considerably, and the opponent also has the Ghost Slayer Path. Both in Evolutionary States, you’ll be caught eventually." Gu Jianlin rejected the suggestion and pulled her into a dark alley, startling two stray cats that meowed loudly.

"At worst, I’ll turn back and fight them."

The Moon Princess said coldly: "Anyway, I’m just a duplicate."

"No."

Gu Jianlin shook his head.

All along the way, he had been coughing up blood and couldn’t even activate his Evolutionary State.

The Moon Princess had blocked countless dangers for him, even using the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword to slice open several bullets.

Otherwise, he’d have been shot.

The most troublesome thing was that the Moon Princess couldn’t go all out. If her identity were exposed, she’d have no place in the Dark World anymore. Last time she could claim self-defense, but this time it couldn’t be justified.

Just then, the charm on her phone case started to shake.

It was a Lucky Cat charm, a small gift from her sister.

Now, it was vibrating intensely, exuding a familiar yet foreign aura.

A kind of loathsome aura!

That was Jiang Mingyan’s aura!

Oh, so that’s it, her sister’s gift was just a cover.

This was something Jiang Mingyan gave, intended to monitor her!

This Lucky Cat charm was going to explode!

Evidently, when Jing Ci appeared, Jiang Mingyan had deduced what was going on.

Therefore, she aimed to blow up her own daughter’s duplicate, knowing the main body wouldn’t die anyway.

This way, she could distance herself from the situation.

Once the Lucky Cat was activated, it was both a communicator and a time bomb.
