Chapter 372: Flower Bloom and Wilt, Life and Death Are Impermanent
Chen Rui was taken aback because in the [Analytical Eyes], Broc’s Comprehensive Strength Assessment had risen to “unable to determine”. Judging from my previous contacts and Isabella’s intel, Broc’s strength is at best the peak of the Demon Emperor. There is still a huge gap from the Demon Overlord level. I didn’t expect him to have reached Demon Overlord?
Although Chen Rui’s assasination was a bit risky, he was still quite confident. Now that it was almost the end, Broc’s real strength was really out of his expectations. It seems that a part in the killing plan must be executed in advance. Even if a part of the plan fails, I must kill this damn enemy!
After Chen Rui made up his mind, a walnut-sized object appeared in his hand. It was Zeray.
Zeray’s power was very terrifying. At the beginning, he had used one to escape the secret prison. There were only 2 left now. Even if Broc really reached the Demon Overlord level, he would be severely injured if he did not die.
However, Zeray needed time to activate the Dragon Inscription above one by one in order to exert its strongest power.
Before Chen Rui activated Zeray’s inscription, Broc’s figure appeared in front of him instantly. Chen Rui could no longer initiate teleportation, so he immediately used the protective shield. Broc stretched out his hand and grabbed it. He actually shattered the shield. However, when he wanted to use pure power to suppress “Charles’” [Star Territory] that had a powerful weakening force, there was no reaction at all. The skill of the Super System seemed to be able to surpass all rules.
“Isabella!” Chen Rui yelled. At present, he desperately needed someone to hold Broc in order to activate Zeray’s inscription.
Isabella also saw that Broc’s power had skyrocketed to the point where she couldn’t compete. Hearing Chen Rui’s shout, she braced her teeth. Not only her left eye, but her right eye also faintly emitted a golden beam. If her pupil was magnified, one could faintly see an image of a demon eye in her right eye.
When Broc stretched out his hand to grab Chen Rui, there was a sudden pain in his head. He was being shocked by a powerful spirit power. Isabella used the power of the evil eye, which happened to trigger the talent of piercing defense. Broc covered his head in pain as he staggered back for a few steps. The [Searing Soul] in Isabella’s hands became a stream of light that shot toward Broc’s heart.
Broc waved his hand subconsciously, and an ice shield appeared. However, the sharpness of [Searing Soul] was far above imagination. Not only it pierced the ice shield, it was even nailed to his palm, coming out through the bone.
Broc screamed, but the pain caused him to quickly get rid of the interference of spirit impact. As he raised his head sharply, his black pupils flickered. Isabella groaned and flew out before falling to the ground. She coincidentally landed next to Chen Rui who just pulled the distance from Broc. However, her right eye could no longer be opened and the corner of her eye was bleeding.
In the case of equal strength, [The Eye of Incubus] and [The Eye of Evil] should be matching. It was a pity that Isabella’s power was too far from Broc. Although there was the increase and fusion power of the evil eye, under the counterattack of [The Eye of Incubus], her spirit power had already been severely injured.
Chen Rui grabbed Isabella and fled hurriedly toward the courtyard house. Broc knew that he was fleeing aimlessly. He showed a vicious look. As he was about to pursue, suddenly a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart. Even if his current state, his sense of crisis was still strong as he had reached the early stage of the Demon Overlord.
A dazzling white light covered the sky. In an instant, the sense of sight and hearing seemed to have lost their function at the same time.
Immediately after that, the entire southern suburbs could feel the shaking.
Although Chen Rui had set various imprisonments and magic circles in this seventh courtyard when it was “booked” these days, it was not Prison 13 of the secret prison after all. The entire seventh courtyard was razed to the ground. The Leisure Moon Inn was trembling in the violent earthquake as if the world was going to end. Many people were injured because of the impact. Many unidentified guests fled the courtyard in horror.
As the smoke cleared, the house where Chen Rui and Isabella were in barely remained a little ruined, but the two of them did not suffer much injury. With Prison 13’s lesson, Chen Rui had already set a lot of inscriptions like absorption and reinforcement in the house these days. They had finally escaped from danger.
Isabella, who had been seriously injured, was lying on the ground. She looked at the completely destroyed seventh courtyard in surprise. The still trembling ground showed signs that the entire mountain would collapse at any time- Such a terrifying power. No wonder “Charles” could ruin Prison 13 in the first place!
At this moment, Chen Rui’s expression changed. When he suddenly raised his head, he saw the black smoke scattered in the air quickly condensed into a human form, showing Broc’s figure- Such a powerful explosion did not kill Broc?
The current appearance of Broc was very scary. His face was not only hideous and distorted, but also unidentifiable. His whole body was full of wounds. Bones could even be seen in many places. If it was not for the [Incubus Territory], where he could transform into an intangible state that greatly reduced damage, plus the use of Manu’s peak of Demon Overlord power to protect him, he would have been crushed to pieces.
In spite of this, Zeray still caused almost fatal and serious wounds. Especially in the [Incubus Territory], the unabsorbed Manu’s power had been used for protection. It was all over Broc’s body surface. This meant that he could no longer be able to absorb this Demon Overlord-level flesh and blood power in the future. He could only step into the Demon Overlord realm by honestly relying on his own step by step efforts.
“Die!” Broc gritted his teeth and yelled a word through his hoarse throat. The surrounding air seemed to have been frozen by some icy force. It was covered with traces of cobwebs, which made Chen Rui and Isabella unable to move momentarily. This was Manu’s “original” power. Even if Broc did not use it, it would dissipate when the time comes.
The dagger that Broc snatched, [Searing Soul]’s light was shining brightly from his hands. In the icy environment, it flew out like lightning. It wasn’t aimed at Isabella, but for the most hated Chen Rui- This human is too hateful! He caused such severe injuries to me! Even the power that I hardly obtained from Manu has been exhausted. He should really die. I must kill him! As for the cooperation and the black potions, fuck it!
Moreover, even if the method just now was used again, even with the protection of Manu’s power, it would be difficult to resist.
Facing the terrifying killer with the power of Demon Overlord, Chen Rui, who was bound by the territory, had no time to evade. He instinctively felt that if he was hit by this blow, even if his physique was special and did not die, his body would be disintegrated by the terrifying and chilling ice power.
“Dark Will” cannot be used in such occasions that contain territory power. It was cracked by Broc in the Silent Night Wetland, so I can only use the “[Demonic Flies Transformation]”, the skill of God-Eating Mask that is limited once a day. Or I can use Demon Shield to block it. Although it will reveal the identity of “Charles” as “Arthur” and the plan will also be affected, it is a matter of life and death now, so I can’t care about it.
At this moment, a figure suddenly bounced from the ground and covered Chen Rui. The dagger containing the power of the Demon Overlord was firmly nailed to the back of the figure.
Isabella.
She didn’t know where the strength came from that she actually broke free from the cobwebs restrain and took the fatal blow for Chen Rui. After piercing her chest, the dagger came out through her body and plunged into Chen Rui’s chest. However, it was not deep into the flesh, so it was not a threat.
Chen Rui was really stunned at this moment. From beginning to end, he was just putting a front to Isabella. Isabella should also understand this. Even if she was a little moved later, she still wasn’t really tempted. Otherwise, she wouldn’t kill him 4 times.
“Isabella!”
Isabella’s bloody right eye could no longer be opened, and the gold of her left eye was quickly fading. There was no trace of blood on Isabella’s pale face, but a faint smile instead, “You said that sometimes we may not be able to choose the start, but we can choose the ending. This is what I choose… my own end.”
Chen Rui felt the blood flowing from Isabella’s body suddenly become cold. Her blood flowed into his body. At this moment, he felt a hint of pain. It was a heartache.
Broc didn’t expect Isabella to do this suddenly, but the two of them couldn’t escape death anyway. As he was about to take action again to kill the two, a roar suddenly came from the sky. Broc felt the power contained in the roar and was surprised. The roar approached him at an extremely fast speed. He had already reached in front of Broc in an instant.
This was a black robe man with short blond hair, deep facial features and a beard. 3 pairs of wings appeared behind him as he floated in the air.
The supreme ruler of Fallen Angel Capital. Regent obsidian.
Obsidian finally came. The reason he came here was the invitation sent by Chen Rui in advance. He was on the way to the Leisure Moon Inn. After hearing the huge explosion from the Leisure Moon Inn, he immediately got out of the carriage and rushed there with all his strength.
It was just that the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes because Broc’s strength exceeded Chen Rui’s expectations. Therefore, the timing of Obsidian’s arrival was a little late. People’s plan was subject to fate.
Obsidian was shocked when he saw the scene clearly. He then showed extremely furious expressions. Charles and Isabella are lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Their life and death is unknown. Judging from the scene, it was definitely a terrifying battle.
All of these were done by this opposite guy in the sky!
Broc recognized Obsidian, but he didn’t expect Obsidian to appear here so quickly. With the help of external forces, he was only an early Demon Overlord at best, while Obsidian was the peak of the Demon Overlord. Even if his strength is not as good as Raizen or Catherine, it’s far from what I can currently match. It seems that I can’t kill this human today. Anyhow, I have killed Isabella, but my own loss is too heavy.
At this moment, Chen Rui, who fell to the ground, suddenly screamed. His whole body burst open in an earth-shaking momentum, turning him and Isabella into a cloud of blood. They seemed to be broken to pieces. At the same time, the equality contract in Obsidian’s mind disappeared without a trace.
A rumbling noise! The mountain where the entire seventh courtyard was located finally could not stand the damage and collapsed.
Obsidian was outraged. He couldn’t believe his eyes. This palace high rank consultant who has the astronomical sums of money raised from the major estates and major families; this human with the most precious black potion resources; my critical partner who is related to the future of the Fallen Angel Empire and myself, is actually annihilated just like that?
What about the Sword of Fallen Angel’s solution?
What about the black potions?
What about the huge benefits that are in urgent need of return?
Broc was also stunned. I don’t think my attack just now has such an exaggerated effect, right?
If Broc crossovered to become a netizen who posted on a certain forum, then he could simply reply to Chen Rui’s explosive effect post, “Although I don’t understand why, it looks great”. However, Broc had no time to crossover at the moment. There was even no time to even think about it because the wild murderous aura from Obsidian had already targeted him tightly.
Obsidian flashed and appeared in front of Broc in the blink of an eye. His fist with black flames hit Broc’s chest brutally. Broc hurriedly transformed into the black mist form of the [Incubus Territory]. The undissipated Manu’s flesh and blood power also turned into thousands of spider silk which entangled Obsidian.
Obsidian ignited a black flame containing terrifying destruction power. It was the bloodline talent [Dark Flame] of the Lucifer Family. Wherever the [Dark Flame] went, the spider silk turned to ashes. Broc’s Incubus mist form also made a squeaking sound. He could not maintain it in the end, so he had to revert to his physical form. His left arm below the elbow had already turned into coke.
The [Dark Flame]’s talent was a natural restraint for such intangible tricks. It was all Broc’s bad luck. Otherwise, with Manu’s power, he would not be defeated so quickly.
Broc didn’t have time to take care of the injury of his arm. He bit the tip of his tongue and spouted a bit of blood. The blood drew a faint blue and red light gate in the sky. At the same time, a huge ice shield blocked in front of Obsidian. With a punch, the thick ice shield shattered like thin glass. The fragments were instantly melted by the [Dark Flame].
At this time, there was another terrifying destruction flame behind, but Broc couldn’t care about it. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to rush toward the light gate- If I can’t escape now, then it would be a luxury to have a quick death today.
Obsidian’s angry punch in the air hit Broc. The part below Broc’s waist burst open. His flesh and blood were instantly turned into ashes by the black smoke. However, in the end, half of his body rushed into the light gate due to the impact of this force. Suddenly, he disappeared with the light gate. His life and death was unknown.
Obsidian didn’t think that the murderer could actually escape from his own hands. He only felt that there was a strong depression in his chest that could not be vented. He screamed, and the regent’s angry voice echoed over the entire capital.
Of course, Chen Rui did not die. He just activated a deceptive item prepared beforehand, and then escaped through the [Star Gate]. If in normal circumstances, it might not be possible to hide from Obsidian and Broc. However, Obsidian and Broc did not have the time to notice some details at the scene during the time. The most realistic was the “disappearance” of the equality contract.
Therefore, Broc became the scapegoat who killed “Charles”. Therefore, Obsidian would surely kill Broc and investigate this matter thoroughly. He would retaliate wildly against the Bloodfall forces in the territory. As the 2 forces fought each other, the Dark Moon would gain precious development time.
Even if Broc’s strength was more than Chen Rui’s expectation, things were still going smoothly according to Chen Rui’s previous plan.
Except Isabella.
Capital Devil’s Snare flower, who gave up her life to block a blow for him at the moment of life and death.
This flower was about to wilt now.
Wasn’t there still the magical resurrection potion?
