Chapter Twenty-Three: Nowhere to Run

Chen Lun took off the helmet of a heavily armored guard, revealing the appearance of the person inside.

It was a deformed face covered in sarcoma, hideous and ugly.

He still breathed slightly, and even though he was so badly injured, he was not dead.

"Sure enough, they are all weirdos catalyzed by the Red Apple Church with a diluted mysterious substance......"

Chen Lun said secretly.

Like the rotten hounds, the Church of the Red Apple experiments on living people.

The strange manpower created is infinite and tenacious.

It can be said that this kind of weirdo is no longer a human being, and should be counted as a category of transcendent creatures.

Without one's own mind and personality, one is like a wild beast.

Chen Lun slammed his foot and stepped on it, crushing the heads of the two weirdos.

【Kill the Red Apple Church Heavy Guard, gain 100 XP】x2

Turning his head to look at the fat monk's place before, it was empty.

Chen Lun chuckled.

"Can you escape?"

"Run! As long as I escape to the shelter, I won't die! ”

Under the purple moon, Stilton ran wildly on the deserted streets, gasping for breath.

He ran out the back door of the church courtyard and headed straight for the shelter in the center of town.

Along the way, he prayed to the golden goblet in his arms.

But even though the blood in the cup was almost gone, there was still no response.

Just then a feral cat passed through the street and nearly tripped Stuarton.

"Damn it!"

He cursed angrily and kept running.

But he suddenly noticed that more wild cats appeared in the middle of the road ahead.

A pair of green eyes stared at him, and his heart almost stopped.

Click...... Click...... Click......

The sound of boots on the stone pavement was heard slowly and clearly from behind him.

Stearnon spun awkward.

I saw that the cloaked man appeared at some point, slowly approaching him.

He screamed, not sure if it was to give himself courage or to attract the attention of others.

Immediately, the fat hand took out the crossbow and aimed it at Chen Lun and pulled the trigger.

Obviously, there was no crossbow arrow loaded, and he was not seen pressing the string, but a scarlet arrow came out of the chamber, crossed a straight red line, and flew towards Chen Lun.

Whew——!!

Chen Lun was vigilant when he pulled out his crossbow from Stuarton, but when the crossbow arrow came at him, he still couldn't react in time.

The speed of the crossbow bolt is too fast!

Chen Lun could only jerk sideways to avoid the fatal part, allowing the crossbow arrow to just graze his arm.

The red line brushed against the scale armor, bursting out with a spark, and then disappeared into the air behind Chen Lun.

There was a small cut in his arm, and strangely, not half a drop of blood came out.

[You are attacked by [C-rank Trickster Gluttonous Tongue], HP -12]

[You are in a state of extreme hunger, and your HP limit is temporarily reduced by 23]

Suddenly, a strong feeling of hunger arose.

Chen Lun felt weak for a while, as if he had to eat a big meal now.

Even if he put a live cow on the table, he could tear it alive and swallow it alive.

The wound on his arm began to deteriorate, and the flesh around him disappeared without a trace as if it had been gnawed by an invisible mouth.

Fortunately, there were not many mysterious powers attached to the wounds, and the disappearance of flesh and blood soon stopped.

It was as if the invisible mouth had quietly left.

Chen Lun endured the pain and saw this scene, and became more vigilant against the crossbow-shaped [Trickery] in his hand, guarding against Stuarton from continuing to shoot.

But after the fat monk pulled the trigger once, the whole person collapsed to the ground as if he had collapsed, breathing heavily, as if he was deprived of oxygen.

The crossbow and the golden goblet fell aside, and blood slowly flowed from the goblet.

Seeing this, Chen Lun let out a secret sigh.

"Hmm...... It's just an ordinary person, the price of using [Trickery] is too great, and he can't afford to do it a second time. ”

His thoughts flashed quickly, and he lunged towards Sturton.

But at this moment, the blood spilled on the ground boiled violently, and melted into Stuarton's mouth and nose like a hundred rivers returning to the water.

"Uh...... Uhhh ”

Stowlton twitched, as if in unimaginable pain.

Call!

His body jumped up suddenly, and his back shot rushed towards Chen Lun.

Boom! Whew!!

Five pitch-black claws slashed across Chen Lun's raised arm, sparks sparked with the scale armor.

"Sinners! How dare you take the initiative to attack the Red Apple Church! ”

The voice that came out of Stuarton's mouth changed, like another person, old and low.

His face was bruised, his eyes were only whites, and his teeth were grinning with a hideous expression.

"What don't you dare......"

Chen Lun kicked it away.

"I'm going to dig up the graves of your churches and burn them down with another fire!"

"Heresy!!"

The possessed Stolton no longer looked like an ordinary person, waving his claws like a monster and pounced on him again.

In the process of fighting with him, Chen Lun found that the opponent's strength and dexterity were forcibly raised, and it was very difficult.

Sneer——!!

Sharp claws slashed across the ground, sparks splashing in all directions, leaving several deep claw marks.

Chen Lun narrowly dodged the claw blow and reached out with both hands.

The serpentin's arms wrapped around the opponent's arms, immobilizing its most dangerous claws.

Stowlton frowned, feeling deeply uncomfortable.

Immediately after that, Chen Lun's serpentine arms stirred violently, and the sharp dark golden scales cut through, and immediately ripped off the claws.

Poof!

The fat monk took a few steps back and raised his severed arm that was spurting blood, his face ugly.

"What kind of supernatural ability is this......?

Damn rat people! Whose grave did you dig up? Or is it some kind of alchemical potion? ”

Seeing that this guy kept making up for his brain, Chen Lun laughed secretly.

"When you're dead, go down and ask for yourself."

"How dare you blaspheme Rose!?"

Stowlton lashed out.

"Ahhh

He began to scream, and the flesh of his entire face was peeled off on the spot, and in a few moments it became a fleshy skinless beast head.

"What a shame."

Chen Lun complained about the evaluation.

"Die!!"

Stilton struck again, and his speed skyrocketed.

The beast's head snapped, and the air exploded with a loud noise.

Chen Lun flexed his neck to dodge the deadly attack and reflexively punched him in the face.

Boom!!

Sturton's body tilted.

Chen Lun's body was raised, and he elbowed it again, like a war hammer landing from top to bottom, and slammed into the back of his head.

Boom!!!

Facing down, Stolton smashed the slab and sank into it.

His body twitched a few times, then stopped moving.

Chen Lun stared down at the corpse, and the sound of crackling bones bursting in his ears came, and an inexplicable sense of crisis arose.

He jerked backwards.

The next moment he jumped, Stuarton's body instantly swelled, and then exploded like a bomb!

Bang!!

Blood rained down, accompanied by fragments of bones and internal organs, and the battle closed on the bleak streets.

Fortunately, Chen Lun hid quickly enough and was not affected by the explosion.

Otherwise, with the power of this real explosive, you will also be injured.

Gollum......

Stuarton's inhumanoid beast head rolled down to Chen Lun's feet.

His last remaining eyeball snapped onto the cloaked man's figure, his eyes full of anger and a hint of madness.

"The dregs of the 'Society of History and Rituals', this battle is not a defeat for our religion, but a prelude to the trial of you and other sinners."

"Oh, then you should come to me quickly......"

Chen Lun kicked the head with the tip of his boot.

Then he stared condescendingly at the eyeball, making eye contact with it.

"I'll be waiting for you in Emerald Town, if you dare to come, I'll beat your brains to the ground."

"Damn it! You ......"

The beast head was about to say something, but was suddenly kicked away.
