Chapter 231: The Round-up of One Missing Three
When the three killers of the Murder Club arrive in Sunflower City, they find that their targets are long dead.
None of the members of the Red Rose Team remained, and all of them were killed.
The police cordoned off the scene, and the shelter intervened to begin an investigation.
The three of them meet at a common bar, share what they have heard, and come to a conclusion in surprise.
"Your Majesty, the King of Slaughter...... Personally shot! β
One of them put down his glass and said it in a nutshell.
The eyes of the other two burst with a terrifying light, which was extremely fanatical and reverent.
"Which 'distinguished guest' touched my king's wine? Is...... It's incredible! β
"If memory serves, I haven't heard of anything like this in years."
"Jerome, though a [Sequence 5] transcendent being who is stronger than any of us, is not yet worthy of being the King's murder...... To arouse her interest, that wine must be very precious and peculiar! β
The three of them drank wine and chatted freely.
As members of the Murder Club, they believe in Conrad, the king of killing, rather than the god of conspiracy, the "Old Man of the Bones", for no other reason, the Old Man rarely responds to believers and rarely performs miracles.
The King of Slaughter protects them and all the killers who believe in her, but few people get to see the King do it himself.
Although the three of them ran for nothing, they were paid with little effort, and at the same time, they witnessed the murder of the king and witnessed the total destruction of the Red Rose team.
This only made them more excited.
"When I go back this time, I must tell my friends at the club about it, and they will be excited about it."
The First Clan

Outside the city of Amber.
Ruins of the old site.
The Black Knight sat on a massive broken column, overlooking the clearing ahead.
The Executioners' squad consisted of thirteen men, heavily armed and dressed in black, on the cracked stone path, surrounded by weeds.
They raised their heads and looked at the figures on the stone pillars, their faces solemn.
"Why are you executioners the only ones? The Lamp Guards and the Purple Moonlight Squad are hiding? β
Beneath the wolf-shaped helmet, there was a low laugh.
"I have the impression that the monks of the Church of the Sun, though arrogant, are not sinister and cunning, shouldn't they be at the forefront and clamoring for my life? How could you have tempted me......"
Hearing the Black Knight's ridicule, the faces of the members of the Executioner's Squad turned ugly.
They didn't know what happened to them, the lamp guards team and the purple moonlight team did not come as agreed, especially the lamp guards, they had obviously received the news that the other party arrived in Amber City yesterday, but today they disappeared inexplicably.
If it weren't for the fact that the Church of the Sun belonged to "their own people", the executioners would even feel that it was a backstab and deliberately used them as "cannon fodder".
"Beiers Wolff, what you should be concerned about now is the outcome you are going to face."
Captain Talleyrand said coldly.
"As the former Captain of Purple Moonlight, your knowledge and experience must not be shallow, you will not be arrogant enough to think that you can escape this round-up, right?"
With a flick of his hand, the tiny stone hanging from his wrist fell in front of him, instantly growing in size and turning into a statue of a woman.
The shell of the stone statue cracked, the stone chips shook and flew sideways, revealing the wax figure inside, and the woman's brown hair fluttering, fair skin, vivid, like a real person.
She opened her eyes and walked over to Talleyrand's side, her eyes showing deep love and concern.
"Talleyrand, what's the trouble again?"
She spoke.
Talleyrand looked at the woman and smiled slightly, his eyes also full of love.
"Teacher, excuse me...... This time the opponent is really tricky and needs your help. β
The executioners looked surprised.
Although they have been fighting side by side with the captain for a long time, they know very little about the captain, only that he is the [Earth Faction Sequence 5 - Wax Figure], and he has never shown this hand in ordinary battles.
Originally...... The mini stone sculpture hanging on the captain's hand is actually a wax figure?
...... wax figure that can summon his teacher?!
The black knight on the pillar silently surveyed the enemy below.
"Wax Artist? It's a bit of a hassle...... The wax figure of that woman was actually refined from corpses, retaining most of the strength in front of her, so that it was equivalent to two [Sequence 5]. β
The black knight stood up with his black sword.
The executioner's squad looked at him as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Do you want to make a wax figure of your mentor and lover as a way to achieve eternal companionship...... Should I appreciate your dedication to love, or should I spit on your cold heart? Mr. Talleyrand. β
Talleyrand lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Biles' words sent a flash of guilt through his heart.
The brown-haired woman on the side had a calm expression.
"The transcendent is only a person who treks on the path of the gods, even if he is promoted to a saint and transforms into a myth, there will be a day of death...... The unwilling person is me, and the reluctant person is also me, even if it is incarnated as a wax figure, as long as I can accompany him, it is enough. β
"Hilna......
Talleyrand turned his head to look at the woman, slightly moved.
He then looked up at the Black Knight and said in a deep voice:
"Byers, you don't have to interfere with me with words anymore, no matter what, you can't escape the fate of being suppressed today!"
The Black Knight was silent for a few seconds, then smiled in a hoarse voice.
"Huh...... yes, who am I to say about you, after all, I am a ridiculous guy myself. β
Stop!
The black long sword in his hand pointed at him and said solemnly:
"I have no grudge against any of you, but we do have a different position...... If you want to suppress me, then try it. β
The battle is on the verge of breaking out!
The wax woman Sylna smiled slightly, and the skin on her body instantly turned stony gray-white, and a pair of huge stone wing membranes grew on her back, and two stone horns drilled out of her head.
This is the ability of [Earth Faction Sequence 6 - Gargoyle]!
Has extremely high Physical Resistance and Energy Resistance!
Sylna's eyes were like obsidian, bursting with a black light, and everywhere she went, she was dragged into the spirit realm.
There is a conventional rule in the occult realm, and that is that the battle of the transcendent should take place in the spirit realm as much as possible.
This will not have much impact on the present world.
Those who break the rules will be targeted by the Seven Righteous Churches and the Asylum. Even the saints of all forces would not dare to cause large-scale destruction and killing in this world, and this is the deterrence from the authorities.
As everyone's vision was covered in the blue of a distorted lake, they all entered the spirit realm.
The Black Knight stood on the stone pillar, unmoved.
He didn't care if the venue was the world or the spirit world, he had only one goal, and that was to kill all the executioners in front of him and make the shelter taste pain again!
When the Executioner Team looked at the Black Knight again, they were all shocked.
Because they found that under the stone pillar, several figures of different heights appeared at some point, and they were already waiting in the spirit world.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Executioner Squad."
The leader was a guy with a silver kettle on his head, and his voice came from the silver kettle, humming loudly.
Beside him, there stood a strong man with a brown-red clay pot head, a black bald head hidden in a bronze bottle, a man in a trench coat with a crow mask on his face, and a bearded scumbag man with an ugly face.
Five strange-looking guys, standing there lazily, exuding a powerful momentum.
Talleyrand child hole miniature.
"Akbin, Drink, and three strange otherworldly beings......"
He failed to recognize Chen Lun's identity, and mistakenly thought that he was a spiritual creature like the bottle pot.
The Executioner Squad couldn't help but take a deep breath, the Black Knight alone was already very difficult, and now there were five more helpers, and the situation was quite bad.
Although they don't know about the three transcendent creatures, Akbin is the most wanted murderer in Eucalyptus, a veteran [Sequence 6] transcendent! I'm afraid the others won't be far behind!
"So that's where your confidence lies...... Byers. β
Talleyrand said coldly.
"That's just right! The two fugitives, Akbin and Biles, are simply caught in one go! β
With a wave of his hand, the twelve executioners rushed forward.
"Mr. Biles, leave these trash fish to us."
Chen Lun chuckled.
"Thanks, Silver Kettle."
The black knight said, holding the black sword, tilting his head.
He saw that Jack didn't mean to reveal his identity, so he tacitly didn't say the other party's name.
"Trash fish?! Even said that our executioner squad is a trash ......! β
Resli's pretty face froze.
"Kill that silver kettle first!"
"Say you're trash fish or lifted, the scrap is pretty much the same!"
Laughter came from the silver kettle.
Chen Lun shook his hand, and the Kazt long sword appeared in his hand, and when he raised his arm, he swung out several purple arc-shaped sword qi.
At the same time, he shouted to his companions:
"Several, can you solve the battle in ten minutes?"
"You're underestimating me, Silver Kettle!"
Mr. Pot bumped his fist, and Dongdong rattled.
Drinker silently lit a cigarette and did not speak, but from Akbin's crow mask, a cold and short voice came out:
"Five minutes."
Resli and the executioners beside her quickly dodged the swift sword, and suddenly their faces changed slightly.
They noticed that puffs of green smoke suddenly rose from the ground around them.
"Hold your breath and take anti-poison!"
She shouted for warning, but she also inhaled a puff of virus smoke and coughed busily.
Suddenly, a sharp sword cracked in the head!
Resli held back the itch in her throat and retreated, but she was also accidentally hit by a sword in her chest, and the mountain peak cut a hole diagonally.
"Damn it!"
She cursed.
The abominable silver kettle had already deceived him, and the long sword in his hand slashed, and the sword was deadly.
Chen Lun's knightly swordsmanship was at the full level, and his physical fitness was crushed, and Lei Sili, who was infected with the disease, could only care about dodging for a while, and had no strength to fight back.
Danger is everywhere!
Boom!
A short sword popped out of Resri's cuff, blocking Kazt's longsword.
She only felt her arm tingle, and her whole body leaned back uncontrollably.
"What kind of transcendent creature is this, and how can it be so powerful?!"
She gritted her teeth, and her forehead was bruised.
The sword wound in his chest was oozing blood, and his internal organs began to ache because of the disease.
Chen Lun's hand was a little harder, and Resli pounced, knelt down on one knee, desperately holding the long sword, but the blade was little by little close to her delicate neck.
"Miss Resley, why are you on your knees? Is this proposing to me...... Aha, although you are good-looking and have a great body, you have a bit of a problem with your brain, and I can't accept it. β
A chuckle came from the silver kettle.
Resli looked at the smooth surface of the silver kettle, reflecting her hideous face, and couldn't help but feel her heart beat wildly, and her hairs stood on end.
She felt the breath of death!
"You...... How do I know my name ......! You're not a transcendent being...... Who are you?! β
She struggled and growled.
Chen Lun didn't answer her, and turned his head to look away.
A hundred meters away, a pitch-black hemisphere was clasped upside down on the ground, and there was a loud noise inside.
It was the "Realm of the Night" that Mr. Byers had unfolded, and the Executioner Squad Leader Talleyrand and the wax woman, Hirna, were trapped inside, and the two sides were battling it out.
Mr. Pot and Mr. Bottle cooperated tacitly to deal with the siege of the four executioners, but the executioners fell into disadvantage.
They were under all kinds of curses, and they also inhaled the smoke of disease, and in the face of Mr. Pot's iron fists and feet, they had to flee in a hurry.
The slightest carelessness is a serious injury and near death.
Akbin and Drinker faced off against the only two [Sequence 6] members of the Executioner's Squad, plus three regular members.
But the two of them were not in a hurry and seemed very calm.
This was due to the fact that Chen Lun led the team to the spirit world in advance, and Akbin made careful arrangements.
Now that the war has begun, the pre-buried potion bottle has been activated, and in the environment around the spread of the epidemic, it is the home of Akbin.
The opponent is the Vault's elite transcendents, who are not weak, but Akbin and Drink, who are members of the Murder Club, will only be stronger.
Although the executioners had taken poison resistance, Akbin's extraordinary illness was still eating away at their bodies.
In the face of the siege, Akbin released two sick dogs to resist in front, plus [Sequence 6] of the flesh faction of Derlink, the executioners could not take the two for a while, but were devastated by the disease.
When Drinker is injured, he draws the blood of his opponent to recover from his injuries, and even devours his opponent's attacks to strengthen himself.
In case of distress, there is also the "doctor" of Akbin, who throws all kinds of strange potions to aggravate the opponent's condition while healing Drink, the sick dog and himself.
The executioners were in great distress.
"Dare to be distracted while fighting? Go to hell! β
Resli noticed that the silver kettle head was looking away, her eyes were fierce, and she took a breath of relief and turned back.
Poofββ!
Her forearm was severed by a sword, and blood spilled out.
At the same time, she also won a momentary opportunity, and her other hand aimed at Chen Lun's left chest and squeezed it tightly.
"Heart strangulation!"
The silver pot head screamed, clutched his chest, and staggered back.
At the last moment, he threw the sword in his hand with all his might, but he also missed his head, and was dodged by Resley, and once thudded into the ground.
"Seize the opportunity! Kill him! β
Resri drank violently, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.
In the next second, two executioners rushed forward and shot in unison, their faces fierce and their fists covered with arcs.
It was the two people who threatened Chen Lun in the interrogation room before!
Whooshββ!
A flash of black light.
Extremely fast, leaving a claw mark in Resri's vision.
Only two pops were heard, almost at the same time.
A drop of blood splattered into Resri's face, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
I saw that the hands of the silver pot head turned into pitch-black claws, piercing through the hearts of the two executioners.
Ever!
Chen Lun withdrew his hands, and his pitch-black and shiny claws slowly changed back to their normal palms.
The two people in front of them fell to the ground, gasping for breath with difficulty, coughing up blood, and they lost their hearts, and they didn't seem to live long.
"This ...... That's impossible! Why don't you have anything at all?! β
Resri took a step back, her brow furrowed, her eyes flashing with panic.
Chen Lun took out a white towel from the Blood Poetry Ring and wiped the blood from his hands.
"How's my performance? Isn't it realistic? As a transcendent member of the Star Faction, why don't you have my expertise in deception......? β
He chuckled.
This time, in the face of the extraordinary power of the [Heart Thief], [Maggie's Tears] was not activated, and the reason was very simple-
Chen Lun knew the details of Resli, and had already used magic to "separate the body" and move his heart to another location in advance, coupled with the mysterious resistance of the blessing of [Moon God Protection], the other party's sneak attack did not work.
In Resli's sight, the silver kettle head raised the towel in his hand, and as the towel fell to the ground, the other party's figure suddenly disappeared.
The next second.
She suddenly felt a hand climb up her neck.
A familiar voice came from behind him:
"Ma'am, no one can save you this time."
Resli Tong shrank his hole, and the sound coming from the silver pot was completely different from before.
She remembered someone.
"Jack ......"
Resri's voice was dry and shaky.
Kalaββ!
