CHAPTER 1214: CHAPTER 1212: MUTUAL DESTRUCTION

Twenty-four phantoms!

Twenty-four chimes of the Doomsday Bell!

Damandis was completely dumbfounded.

The twelve chimes of the Doomsday Bell were the strongest move of the Death Knell, but no one ever knew that, beyond twelve chimes, there were twenty-four chimes!

Of course, there are twenty-four chimes, and Wang Dadong even suspected that there might be an even stronger forty-eight chimes.

The Doomsday Bell is not a complete martial technique; it was deduced and improved by the Piano Emperor from a fragment of a martial technique. However, its essence remains a martial technique from the fragment, so what Wang Dadong learned was not the complete version.

When the Piano Emperor gave him this martial technique, he told him that the twelve chimes of the Doomsday Bell were not the end, and the final number of chimes he could achieve depended entirely on Wang Dadong’s understanding of the martial technique.

Wang Dadong had already comprehended the twelve chimes of the Doomsday Bell when slaying saints, but the twenty-four chimes he had just recently understood.

Or rather, he had just comprehended them.

He realized it while hesitating whether to sacrifice Yan to kill Damandis.

Training in martial techniques is not like cultivating inner strength; it depends not on accumulation but enlightenment.

The twenty-four phantoms all sat cross-legged in the void, hands folded, resembling Buddhas beneath an ancient bell.

Next, those Buddhas’ bodies crashed towards Wang Dadong and Damandis.

Dong, dong, dong!

The bell tolls incessantly, everything is engulfed in violent energy.

Watching the two completely submerged in golden energy, Lin Shiyan inexplicably felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She murmured absentmindedly, "Do I... know him?"

The reason for such a question arose because Lin Shiyan thought, how could she recognize such a powerful man, one even surpassing the masked man, when she was just a minor figure?

If she didn’t know him, then why was she feeling sad at this moment?

Were these angels here to save her because of her?

At this moment, Lin Shiyan felt very confused.

She was merely a company president; why would someone come to rescue her?

Even Daphne seemed to be disregarded by the opposition.

A notion surfaced in Lin Shiyan’s mind, a thought she once had before.

Why was it that whenever she was in danger, someone appeared in front of her to protect her?

It was the masked man before, now it was that angel.

Perhaps, it wasn’t because she was in danger and someone came to protect her, but rather... someone was always by her side!

"Is it you, Dadao..." Lin Shiyan bit her attractive lip with her silver fang, eyes filled with worry.

Yan’s eyes also reflected a complex look.

Wang Dadong wanted to use her to kill Damandis; how could she not know?

If she died, it would mean nothing to Wang Dadong, and could even be one less potential enemy.

Yan wasn’t surprised that Wang Dadong used her.

After all, the antidote she gave to Wang Dadong back then wasn’t simply an antidote.

It’s not that the antidote was fake but that it contained a high-tech tracker.

Once Wang Dadong injected it into his body, the trackers would enter his bloodstream and eventually reside in his heart. By that time, even if Wang Dadong realized it, it would be difficult to remove them.

In other words, once Wang Dadong injected the antidote, his future whereabouts would be entirely exposed to the eyes of Heaven’s Judgment.

Such underhanded tactics with allies are somewhat contemptible, but it is reality.

As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, and naturally, there are no eternal friends.

This time, Wang Dadong and Heaven’s Judgment shared a common goal, so they temporarily allied, but who knows if they won’t be enemies in the future?

Fortunately, Wang Dadong was always a very vigilant person and had already thrown the antidote into the trash bin.

However, what Yan didn’t expect was that Wang Dadong, despite having the chance to kill Damandis, abandoned it and finally chose a near mutual destruction approach to deal with Damandis.

They say Death Knell is notorious for his amorous exploits; it seems the rumors aren’t false.

Yan had once investigated Death Knell, trying to uncover his real-world identity.

But she encountered significant resistance.

After much effort, Yan captured a woman who had been involved with Death Knell.

But the woman would rather die than reveal any information about Death Knell.

She thought this was an isolated case until she met several more women linked to Death Knell and realized that it wasn’t.

Each woman’s choice was the same.

In the past, she did not understand why; were those women fools?

Now, she seemed to have some understanding...

A few seconds later, the bell ceased, the violent energy disappeared.

And revealed the two at the center of the explosion.

At this moment, the two bodies had separated, both blood-soaked.

Even Damandis’s Fallen Angel Wings were more than half shattered, showing just how terrifying the twenty-four chimes of the Doomsday Bell were.

You should know Damandis’s Fallen Angel Wings were made from an alloy synthesized from a kind of metal not found on Earth from a meteorite from outside the heavens.

Their hardness was comparable to that of diamond, yet more resilient than diamond.

Under normal circumstances, even being directly hit by a Barrett sniper rifle might only leave a slight mark.

But now, they’re still more than half shattered.

Of course, Wang Dadong’s condition was not good either; his Angel’s Armor was no more advanced than Damandis’s Fallen Angel Armor, perhaps even lower, so he bore a greater impact when facing the attack of the Doomsday Bell.

But he had the Vajra Invincible Body.

Thus, his injuries were slightly lighter than Damandis’s.

But only slightly lighter.

The twenty-four chimes of the Doomsday Bell were indeed powerful enough to threaten the Hidden World; though they couldn’t take a Hermit-level’s life, the two, although not dead, had half their lives taken.

Now, probably even two Mortal Realm level experts could easily finish them off, as they had no strength to move.

"What are you waiting for? Kill him for me!" Yan said weakly.

The angels instantly surrounded Damandis and Wang Dadong.

"What are you doing?" Yan’s expression changed dramatically.

"If we can kill them both, I’m sure the Heavenly God will be very pleased," the leading Female Angel said with excitement.

Though the Heavenly God wanted Damandis dead, he also hoped the Tyrant would perish.

Wang Dadong and Damandis were both seriously injured, almost powerless to resist; it was now the perfect opportunity to kill both the Tyrant and Damandis.

"Tasha, you, you can’t kill him!" Yan shouted.

"Lord Yan, this is for the whole of Heaven’s Judgment; please do not stop me!"
