Chapter 248 - Waking with a Start

The moon was shining brightly now, but there was still a large group of people marching in the countryside. A neat crash was heard from them. It was the crash of armor.

They had walked smoothly on their way, but were forced to come to the suburb by some unexpected situations.

“Jonathan, are you sure that’s really an Infante?” Hanae Chiou turned around and asked.

“Of course, you also saw it. White knight’s suit, long silver hair, rose vine hilt. That’s Field’s back.”

Jonathan nodded, and then said, “Your strength may be able to compete against him, but we must ensure the safety of these brothers. So, don’t take risks. We can pass through this road.”

“But, my sense field tells me that this is not the way back to the manor. We’ve gone further and further.”

Hanae Chiou said slowly with a slightly cold tone. She, at the same time, stopped and looked back at Jonathan.

“Damn it!”

Jonathan smacked his lips, scratched his head, and then said, “I forget you Seekers of Truth from the East have such an ability! But it’s too late. Go to Hell!”

As his voice faded, a strange red light instantly rose around him and surrounded everyone.

“What the hell are you going to do?” Hanae Chiou summoned her giant scythe, prepared to meet the challenge.

“Haha, rest assured. You won’t die now, because we have to use you to lure Wang Bugui here,” Jonathan laughed.

Hearing that, Hanae Chiou got furious. Her cold eyes were full of strong murderous intentions. She raised the giant scythe, blocking it in front of the knights, saying, “Let them go. I won’t run away.”

“Hmph, our targets are you and that guy. But if they dare to hinder me, they’ll also be killed,” said Jonathan disdainfully.

“Jonathan, what are you gonna do?!”

“Do you want to hurt the queen?”

“Unless you step over our dead bodies!”

…

All the Paladins put on the combat suit in a moment and pulled out their long swords to protect Chiou firmly.

“Go! This is a big array. You will only die in vain if you stay here,” Hanae Chiou shouted with a frown.

“No, we swear to protect you, Queen Chiou!”

The Paladins were resolute. They quickly formed an array, protecting Chiou with holy power.

“No, go quickly! This big array is not that simple!” Hanae Chiou screamed.

She had felt an extremely powerful aura, but couldn’t tell the difference.

“You’re looking for death!”

Jonathan yelled, pulled out his sword with the Dragon Slaughter Knights he brought, and activated it to release strange red lights.

“Grrr!”

The moment when the red lights rose, a horrible roar suddenly sounded, which seemed to come from Hell.

“Er!”

Then, all the Paladins groaned in pain and fell to their knees with their head in their hands. Even Hanae Chiou was injured by the force in the array. This big array was actually an attack on the primordial spirit.

“Er! Protect the queen!”

A Seraph Knight roared desperately, forcibly releasing his holy power to protect Hanae Chiou. Then, the surrounding Paladins, more or less, followed to try their best to protect Chiou with their holy power.

“Let’s get out!”

Another Seraph Knight roared. He was Felix, the strongest man in this group of Paladins. But he had just reached the Holy Realm.

He knew these Paladins were all not strong. If they gave their holy power to Chiou, they would be dangerous in the array after a long time. If they couldn’t break through, they would all die.

“No way!”

With a snort, Jonathan strengthened the big array. The red lights turned even brighter, and the roar was getting louder and louder. Many Paladins had already fallen to the ground with blood flowing out from the seven openings in their heads.

“Go!”

Seeing that, Hanae Chiou howled. She immediately displayed the Destruction of the Mountains and Rivers of 10,000 Realms to resist the primordial spirit attack and transferred the Paladins with her mighty magic.

“Oh? Do you still have such power? But after transferring so many people, you will have few so-called spiritual power left,” Jonathan sneered.

“Ugh!”

Hanae Chiou cried in pain. Jonathan was right. To transfer hundreds of people at the same time, it required not only the understanding of the Tao Law, but also cultivation base and spiritual power.

In principle, only the Greater Powers were able to achieve this. It was impossible for others to do that. But she did it forcibly with the forbidden art, therefore, not much of her spiritual power would be left.

Moreover, she was now in the opponent’s array against primordial spirit. Such an array especially targeted at souls. Her vision had already been blurred, and her head was splitting.

“Asshole!”

Hanae Chiou gritted her teeth, rebuked and waved the giant scythe to attack, killing all the people of Jonathan.

Then, with a roar, she jumped into the sky and brandished the scythe down. But not in her combat mode, she’d been slower a lot. Jonathan dodged in time and turned around to beat her away with a shield.

“Er!”

Then, he chased her up and cut her with his sword. But the sword couldn’t cut off her arm. It just embedded in the puppet’s body. Gritting his teeth, he began to kick the opponent’s abdomen violently.

When the opponent fell to the ground, he chased up and hit her with his shield again, slamming it into the opponent’s head.

“Hmph, you’ve been strong, haven’t you? But why are you totally vulnerable now!”

With a sneer, Jonathan stepped forward, put his foot on her head, and humiliated.

“Clatter!”

However, when he talked wildly, he was tightly bound by a bundle of chains. He struggled to free himself, but found him unable to use his holy power at all.

“Locking Souls!”

Chiou had got up from the ground at the moment. She brandished her scythe forward violently.

“Puff!”

Jonathan’s head was cut down, with a puzzled expression on his face. Chiou followed to wave the giant scythe again to cut down his upper body. She finally reached out to pierce the opponent’s chest, crushing his heart fiercely.

“Scumbag!”

Hanae Chiou spit out blood, trying to fly away from this place, but found herself unable to use energy. At this moment, her primordial spirit was very weak. She would pass out at any time.

“Er!”

Suddenly, a voice came, and she immediately turned back on alert, but found that Jonathan whose head was apart from his body actually recovered!

He twisted his neck and laughed, “Carelessness is the worst enemy. I didn’t expect you to have such power.”

“Longinus!”

Hanae Chiou gritted her teeth and immediately realized. No matter what kind of martial arts one cultivated, he couldn’t revive after being beheaded and heartbroken. There were only two exceptions. One was the Greater Powers of the East.

Even if their bodies were crushed, they could rebuild their bodies as long as their primordial spirits were not destroyed. The other one was the Longinus, the holy lance of the Sanctuary.

As long as the lance was held in one’s hand, the holder wouldn’t be killed anyway. Even if he was cut into eight sections, he could come back to life.

“You’re right, but it still can’t change your fate,” Jonathan sneered.

What was in his hand was exactly the Holy Lance of Longinus which had been stained with blood all year round.

“Clang!”

Hanae Chiou picked up her giant scythe to make the last resistance with her teeth gritted. But how could Jonathan give her a chance? He first released all the power of the magic circle, and then made all-out attacks with the holy lance.

In the whole process, Chiou could hardly fight back and was suppressed firmly. What was more surprising was that the holy lance could actually hurt her puppet body.

Such a wound couldn’t be cured. In addition, there was a special magic power constantly weakening her primordial spirit. So, she was caught by Jonathan within three minutes.

“Having resisted for so long in this state, what a monster you are!” sighed Jonathan.

“It’s indeed surprising. The whole array is destroyed by her alone. Another array is needed to deal with Wang Bugui. But the magic of this space is not enough.”

“Take her to that battlefield. It’s the greatest place for the curtain call.”

Adolf conveyed his voice with magic in another place. Hearing that, Jonathan raised Chiou, cut through space with the holy lance, and entered the dark battlefield.

In the Blood Hunter Manor, Wang Bugui was still sleeping. But there was energy forcing him to wake up. Deep in his soul, a woman was calling him.

“Chiou!”

Wang Bugui woke up with a start. His clothes were drenched in cold sweat. He hurriedly checked the small pendant and found that Hanae Chiou was gone!

“Changge! Lyu Hao! Meiqing!”

Wang Bugui roared, which shocked everyone in the manor.

“What’s up, boss?”

“What happened?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

A large group of people suddenly appeared in his room. Everyone was here. They were either in an apron, or chef’s clothes, or even with flour on their face.

“Boss, you finally woke up!” Zhao Changge laughed.

“Tell me, where’s Chiou?” Wang Bugui grabbed his shoulders and kept shaking them.

“Bo-boss, don’t worry! Sister Chiou has gone to the Sanctuary.” Zhao Changge quickly stabilized him.

“The Sanctuary? Why go back there? Why can she wake up by herself?” Wang Bugui asked again.

Chu He stepped forward and answered, “Sister Chiou can wake up freely, because the strength of your primordial spirit has improved. She’s been looking after you these days.”

“As for the Sanctuary, she seems to go there to pick up the Paladins who want to follow you.”

“Really?” Wang Bugui then let Changge go.

“Boss, what’s wrong with you?” Lyu Hao asked.

“I dreamed that Chiou was… killed!” Wang Bugui gritted his teeth.

Hearing that, everyone was stunned. They wondered why Wang Bugui would have such a dream.

“Boss, it’s just a nightmare. Don’t worry, it won’t happen,” Zhao Changge comforted.

“Yes, it’s just going to the Sanctuary. We’re not against them now. There will be no problem,” Chu He echoed.

Wang Bugui nodded slowly and sat back on the bed.

“Rat-tat!”

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps downstairs. A moment later, Kathy rushed in.

Under everyone’s puzzling eyes, she walked to Wang Bugui and said, “Brother Bugui, bad news!”
