The dark shadows receded like the tide.
The surroundings returned to the original appearance of the square, but now it was dilapidated, like a ruin.
Roxanne's body fell to the ground, her eyes open.
She died because of her own blind arrogance.
There is also a thirst and greed for achievement.
The rest of the black knife killers showed expressions of astonishment after seeing their leader dead. When they looked at the black-hatted gentleman in the center of the ruins, their expressions turned to fear.
Chen Lun didn't waste any words with them and just raised his hand and waved.
Countless cards created a storm and rushed towards the black knife killers like a huge torrent.
With the addition of the leader, the battle for the circus became extremely easy. Those mid-sequence extraordinary people in the conspiracy path were killed one after another in the card storm and the unpredictable magic flying cards.
It was a massacre.
Not even a moment.
The Black Knife Brotherhood was declared annihilated.
Chen Lun had experienced two consecutive high-intensity battles and was already a little tired, but the fight on Bishop Toby's side was not over yet and needed his support.
So he gave an order, leaving Golov and the other two to count the spoils, and then he took Floydine and the others to the battlefield between the Moon Church and the Red Rose Squad.
But no one noticed that before Roxanne's body turned into a monster, the index finger of her left hand slowly "melted" and turned into a ball of black mud, evaporating silently and disappearing.

Tuff City.
It is the main urban area among the ten cities of Yan State, and its status is equivalent to that of Fossil City in Bao Shi State.
Outside the city, in a secret place built inside the mountain.
Countless solid, plain grey stones covered the walls, the ground, and the dome. Torches were hung every three meters throughout the interior.
In the empty hall in the center, a huge ritual pattern was painted on the ground with blood. It was a mark composed of three circles of different sizes and seven triangles. At first glance, it looked like a giant spider crawling on the dim ground.
Around this ritual pattern, there are two circles of arm-thick candles of different heights. The flames are bright and emit a strange fragrance as they burn.
Further out there were nine dark brown wooden chairs, on which sat nine people whose faces could not be seen clearly.
The silent environment is filled with a mysterious atmosphere, with only the subtle sound of burning flames.
At this time, one of them spoke, and the voice was male:
"Roxanne is dead."
The man slowly raised one of his hands hidden under the black hood. On his palm was a finger with a tightly locked gray ring on it, on which the number "9" was engraved.
"The red disaster in Songsha City is not difficult to resolve. The shelter and the Moon Church will not take action against them at this point. What happened?"
Another person spoke, and it sounded like a female.
The man holding the severed finger was silent for a few seconds, as if he was feeling something.
After a while.
"The information recorded in the 'Attached Note' is limited, but we can basically determine that it was done by the people from the murder club... It seems that they happened to have set their sights on the same red disaster area and bumped into each other there."
"Roxanne's strength is ranked among the best in the Brotherhood. Did the Knights of the Round Table take action?"
The woman continued to ask in a calm tone.
"No, there is no aura of a saint. He should be a member of the Gold Cup."
The man hesitated for a moment.
The scene fell into silence. After a few seconds, the old man's voice suddenly came from one side:
"Now is the critical moment to fight for the seat of the Orthodox Church. If our Rotev family wants to revive, we must seize this important opportunity... Whether His Majesty the Gemini can escape from the predicament depends on whether we can win the seat. The King of Slaughter is eyeing us covetously, and we cannot afford to lose."
The old man seemed to be of very high status, and everyone present looked at him.
"Homa, Roxanne is your subordinate. You will have to solve this matter yourself this time... The Murder Club is our biggest enemy. We must not allow them to show too much."
The man holding the severed finger slowly stood up and bowed to the old man.
"Yes, Grandfather."
The old man nodded and continued:
"Almost all of the real bodies of the family's high-ranking members are at the end of the dark world, outside the rift, listening to the teachings of His Majesty the Gemini... Therefore, our avatars active in the world are very precious. If it is not necessary, do not destroy them. If you encounter the Knights of the Round Table, just leave."
The man named Homa agreed again and bowed his head respectfully.
The old man then turned his head to look to his left. The man sitting on the chair was the only one present who was not wearing a black smock. He was only wearing a very ordinary felt coat covered with red and white plaid patterns.
Even the top hat on his head had red and white checks.
"President Anderson, in order to avoid any accidents that may happen if the time is too long, please give Homa a ride."
"Of course."
Anderson shrugged.
Then he added:
"Don't call me that outside. The real president of the Evening Tea Party is Mr. Howard. I'm just an ordinary vice president... Mr. Howard is missing, and the current acting president is out on business. I'm just helping out. If possible, I'd rather drink tea quietly at home..."
Anderson talked a lot, but everyone present just listened silently without saying a word.
He quickly realized that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he coughed dryly and took out a round red juggling ball from his coat pocket.
"It can take you to 'Cloud Leap' and reach Songsha City in an instant, but it can only be used once."
Anderson said to Homa, throwing the juggling ball over.
After Homa took the red ball, he thanked him.
The next second, the red ball bounced up by itself, leaving a trail with Homa and disappeared on the spot.

Songsha City.
In the night area.
The people in the shelter, led by Coleridge, finally escaped from the blood rain. They rushed to the final battlefield and fought against the Red Rose Team together with the circus and the Moon Church.
Under the siege of three forces, even though the captain of the Red Rose Team was a Sequence 5, it was difficult to reverse the situation. He was soon severely interfered with by Coleridge's perfume, and finally Bishop Tobin chopped off his head with a sword.
The soul-annihilating black slash was extremely powerful and far more powerful than Flo Yin's current strength.
The captain of the Red Rose Squad was unable to regenerate and died on the spot.
Under the influence of the A-level monster, Silent Night Quicksand, the entire area was shrouded in darkness. As a Sequence 5-Black Knight, Toby gained a huge boost. It was precisely because of his powerful strength that he suppressed the Red Rose Team and prevented them from intervening in the previous battle.
Once the leader of the Red Rose Squad died, the remaining members were killed one by one without any suspense.
After a moment.
Everyone rested under a giant mushroom that was as big as a tree.
This is an extraordinary thing created by Coleridge through the perfume he mixed himself. It will continuously emit tiny healing spores, allowing people who get close to it to quickly recover from injuries and physical strength.
"Huh... The red disaster in Songsha City has finally been cleared. This matter has troubled us for too long."
The short Coleridge let out a sigh and smiled with relief.
Then he bowed slightly to the gentleman in the black hat.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jack. This time, I was careless and fell into the trap of the Red Apple Church and was trapped here... If it weren't for you, Bishop Tobyin and I would have been in dire straits."
The old man in black robe nodded.
A smile of emotion appeared on his serious face.
This young man who was taken care of by the Moon Goddess actually killed the bishop of the Red Apple Church, many elite priests, and Roxanne, the leader of the Black Knife Assassin Group, all by himself within ten minutes...
If Toby hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have just regarded it as a joke.
"You... really surprised me."
Toby opened his mouth, but didn't know how to phrase it.
Finally, he just said in a deep voice:
"I'm very glad that you came and helped us clean up the red disaster. I hope the Moon God will always take care of you, Mr. Jack."
The old man in black robe touched his chest and saluted him, and the black-robed monks behind him did the same.
Chen Lun shook his head and chuckled:
"I just contributed a tiny bit."
After hearing this, Coleridge and Tobyn immediately had a better impression of this gentleman.
He is powerful but not arrogant, humble and polite, making people feel like spring breeze.
In contrast, they had a strong hatred for the Black Knife Brotherhood.
Roxanne led the Black Knife Killer Group to stand by and watch, and even wanted to stab their "teammates" in the back, which made them hate this behavior.
"Roxanne's death at your hands was her own fault."
Coleridge said solemnly.
"I will report this matter and ask my colleagues in the rest of the Red Disaster Zone to be more vigilant against the Black Knife Brotherhood."
Chen Lun smiled and didn't answer.
Soon, the battlefield was cleared, and after counting, the only losses this time were nine black crystal puppets that were damaged and scrapped in the battle. Fuluo Yin and the others were not injured, thanks to the snake parasite that transferred and absorbed the injuries.
They were just a little tired.
However, this battle allowed them to once again gain deep mystical accumulation, and move one step closer to Sequence 6. Chen Lun could tell from the smiles on his companions' faces that they were in a good mood.
Chen Lun checked the prompt box on the panel again. The various kill rewards made his experience points accumulate to more than 500,000. The regional fame finally reached 60 points, and he obtained the second point of epic fame.
After collecting the spoils collected by Golov and the other two, everyone planned to leave.
But just at this moment.
Coleridge and Tobyn's faces changed drastically. They stopped their men and looked up at the sky.
Everyone looked confused, not knowing what had happened.
At this moment, Chen Lun's spiritual intuition gave a faint warning that there was danger approaching him!
The sky, the dark night, suddenly seemed to break open, letting in a ray of sunlight, and at the same time a man in a black hoodie fell from the sky.
"The 'Nightfall Domain' was forcibly opened by an external force..."
Tobin said in a deep voice, looking at the man in the sky.
"Everyone be careful! That's the incarnation of the saint!"
Everyone immediately showed a look of horror.
Saint!
How could a person of high rank suddenly appear here? !
What exactly is her purpose?!
The man landed in front of the crowd, stopped for a moment when he was ten centimeters away from the ground, and then slowly stepped on the ground. His shiny leather shoes made a slight sound as they touched the stone road.
Click.
The other person pulled down the hood on his head, revealing an ordinary male face, except for his eyebrows and hair, which were slightly special, a color of dark brown mixed with light gray.
Her eyes were quite indifferent, and she was only staring at the gentleman in the black hat in the crowd from beginning to end.
"The Rotef family, Homa."
The man briefly introduced himself.
The members of the shelter and the Moon Church were a little confused, but Coleridge and Tobyin shrank back.
The top brass in charge of the Black Knife Brotherhood!
The high-ranking person in front of me is here to seek revenge!
"Your Majesty, I think now..."
Coleridge lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.
But Homa interrupted him coldly.
"This is a conflict within the mutual aid association. It has nothing to do with you... Lead the team away now. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get affected."
Coleridge and Toby's faces suddenly turned gloomy.
They didn't dare to say anything more, but just turned to look at the gentleman in the black hat beside them.
Chen Lun stared at the man in front of him calmly, without saying a word. Behind him, Fuluo Yin and others took a step forward fearlessly, surrounding their leader, as if they would rush forward to fight him at the command.
At this time, a waiter came from the back of the crowd, holding a plate and saying in a threatening tone:
"Mr. Homa, I have already notified the Knights of the Round Table in advance, and the adults are on their way."
Unexpectedly, Homa glanced at the spiritual messenger and a smile appeared on his lips.
Without seeing her make a move, the shadow of the faceless waiter suddenly jumped up and turned into a huge black hand over three meters tall with six fingers, which slapped down hard!
Once implemented, the waiter will be beaten into a puddle of mud!
Bang!
There was a deafening roar, and everyone even felt a piercing pain in their eardrums.
I don’t know when…
A huge and terrifying broad-bladed sword firmly blocked the blow from the huge shadow's palm.
Everyone turned their eyes away, their expressions gradually becoming horrified—
A knight dressed in old pale armor stood behind the faceless waiter... He was hunched over, with the scarlet cloak that looked like a flag or a long blanket fluttering high behind him. The broadsword in his hand was held against his shoulder, just blocking the giant black palm.
"You forced me to do this, Your Majesty."
A deep, murderous voice came from beneath the cross-shaped holes of the pale mask.
Everyone's expression changed as they found that Mr. Jack was missing.
So this knight...
The body of the Pale Knight suddenly grew taller, expanding from 1.80 meters to 3.6 meters in an instant. He clenched his left fist and casually swung it backwards. With a loud bang, the dark palm was smashed into pieces, turning into black mud that exploded and splashed.
Dozens of white snakes intertwined and coiled together to form a huge pale python, which wrapped around the knight's waist, climbed onto his shoulders, and stood tall.
Such a terrifying knight, and the strange python, looked down at Homa at the same time and made the same sound:
"I will beat you to death."
