Mid-air.
A group of pale snakes burst out from Archon Jack's right arm, like dozens of soft whips as thick as arms, lashing the bat-winged ghoul intensively.
There were a series of muffled crackling sounds, and the Sequence 6 priest was severely injured on the spot.
His body staggered and was knocked down by the huge force. His head and neck were bent 90 degrees and slammed to the ground by the "Pale Hand". With his head as the center, spider web-like cracks radiated outward from the stone pavement.
"die!"
Chen Lun shouted coldly.
He raised his "pale hands", intertwined them into a heavy hammer, and smashed it down again.
winter!
The ground shook, gravel and dust flew high, and the bat-winged ghoul was knocked into a deep pit by this blow. Its upper body including its head exploded instantly, leaving a pool of blood and flesh.
But given the blood descendant's tenacious vitality, such injuries were not enough to kill him.
Chen Lun glanced indifferently at the headless zombie's "body" struggling to get up. He knew that in this situation, the other party would most likely turn into a swarm of bats and escape, so he stretched out his right arm, swept the swarm of snakes forward, tightly entangled the bat-winged zombie, and threw it into the black ball not far away.
whoosh!
The blood priest was instantly entangled in it, and suffered the tearing of gravity together with the other four priests. The ghoul's body was torn apart, but it kept healing itself, trying to struggle to crawl out of the black ball, but to no avail.
The shrill screams and roars were swallowed up by the black ball. People could only vaguely see a few animal heads twisting, popping out, and opening and closing their mouths. In the silence, a feeling of despair was revealed.
"What is that black ball?!"
"All five middle-sequence priests were sucked in!"
"I just saw that it was a black card thrown out by Mr. Jack!"
"Too strong..."
More than a dozen high-level players were shocked and astonished.
Polaris looked up, looking at the figure standing in the air, with bright light shining in his eyes.
"When will I be able to reach Mr. Jack's level..."
He thought to himself.
Chen Lun, the incarnation of fraud, looked at the black ball silently, the corners of his gray robe fluttering in the wind, and the silver cane that Connie had replicated appeared in his hand.
Card!
The left thumb slowly pushed open the handle of the staff, revealing the cold light of half of the rapier.
Buzz—
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
He drew out the sword with his right hand and slashed out nine times in one second. The arc-shaped slashes composed of purple light densely and straightly crossed the black ball and penetrated the entangled bodies of the five priest zombies.
The soul-destroying power of the Ultimate Sword erupted at this moment.
clang!
The sword was sheathed with a crisp sound.
The next second, as the black ball dissipated, a lifeless mass of flesh and blood fell down.
All five priest zombies were killed!
"Keep going, warriors from a foreign land."
Chen Lun held the silver cane, looked down at the players on the ground with a smile, and spoke.
"Yes! Mr. Jack!"
The top players recovered from their shock and immediately responded loudly.
Chen Lun nodded slightly, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
The players were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Then they breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster.
"Luckily, we have Boss Jack leading the team, otherwise we would probably lose our lives here."
Dog-headed Gold exited from the minotaur form, and walked over with Forgotten Wuji, supporting each other. He endured a little pain and forced a smile with bared teeth.
"Of course not! Jack is here to protect us. What a sweet man!"
Weiyin shook her twin ponytails and giggled.
"I can only promise you my body!"
The other players spat and thought to themselves that it was shameless.
At this time, the Silver Cup Councillor, who was the team leader, stepped forward and reminded everyone to treat their injuries and then prepare to continue on their way.
"Yes, Team Leader."
The players agreed.
Baijian Longwang and Kuangben Kuang, who were killed instantly, soon returned to the team from the resurrection point. When they learned that Jack personally came to the rescue, they couldn't help but beat their chests and lamented that their luck was too bad. If they had held on for a few more seconds, maybe they could have waited for Jack.

The bloody war in the Yanbang Linbi City area is going on fiercely.
Far outside the Fossil City in the Gem State, on the main road, a man wearing a bowler hat and a black coat was walking slowly.
Because of his extraordinary clothing and temperament, several passing carriages stopped, intending to give him a ride, but each time the man politely declined.
The man walked for a while and stopped when he saw the entrance to the city not far away.
He gazed into the distance and remained silent for a while.
"Terrence, it's time for us to come to an end."
The man lowered the brim of his hat and continued walking forward.
She was none other than the "Ferry Sword" Byerswolf who had just returned from the dark world.
Recently, the news that the Empire was waging an all-out war against the Red Apple Church was intensifying, and Byers had naturally heard about it. And through her own intelligence channels, she learned an important piece of news, which was also the main reason for her return to the world.
That was Archbishop Leandro, one of the ten core members of the "Blood Monastery" of the Red Apple Church. A few days ago, he was killed outside the Tourmaline Royal City by two imperial chief judges.
The vacant ten-core seat is now held by Archbishop Rafa.
After becoming the Ten Core, Rafa seemed eager to show off, and recently he frequently appeared in various places in the Gem State with his real body, as if he was carrying out some secret activities. After learning the news, the Church of the Sun responded immediately.
Terrence, who is in charge of the Gem State, will naturally not let Rafa do anything. He is very likely to use his true body to personally attack Rafa...
Biles planned to take this opportunity to intercept and kill Terrence!
The hatred was formed when Terrence rudely took away the remains of his beloved Youlan and called them the property of the Sun Church. But Byers knew that it was not just Terrence who was like this... but the entire Sun Church, and even the Sun Royal Family!
From top to bottom, they are all arrogant, domineering and overbearing people.
Biles could understand, but couldn't accept it.
She wanted justice for Youlan and herself.
Even if it means making the entire empire the enemy, or even killing himself, he doesn't care.
But just when she was still a few hundred meters away from the entrance to the city, the scene around her suddenly changed, and a layer of azure blue lake covered her vision.
Spirit world!
Byers's expression was calm.
She knew that she was most likely discovered and a trap had been set here in advance.
"The Asylum Executioner Squad?"
Biles took off his bowler hat and looked forward.
Seven figures stood there silently, as if they had been waiting for a long time. Leading them was a familiar face, Captain Talleyrand, who had escaped in the operation to encircle her!
At this moment, Talleyrand's face was distorted and hideous, his eyes were red, and he was grinning.
"Byers..."
He gritted his teeth.
"I've finally got you! I've waited too long for this day! My teammate, my teacher and my lover, I will pay you back with your blood!"
Biles remained indifferent from beginning to end.
She just felt that the scene before her was familiar.
Just like he had ambushed the executioner team in the spirit world outside Amber City, but now the two sides had switched positions... Just like he had become a mortal enemy with Terence because of Youlan, Talleyrand also wanted revenge on him because of his lover's permanent departure.
It seems like all this is a circle.
Cycle in change, there is no end in the cycle.
Byers knew that Talleyrand must have made sufficient preparations this time, otherwise he would not have been able to deceive the perception of a person of high rank like her... But she didn't care. After all, the other party had not yet been promoted to a Saint and was still only a Sequence 5 Transcendent.
Including the six people around Talleyrand, they were all middle-level and posed no threat to him at all.
"I'll give you one chance. Leave now and I won't do anything."
Byers said calmly.
Her hatred was now directed only at Terrence. She didn't care about these weaklings who could be crushed to death at will.
"Byers, from the day you completely destroyed Hilna, I swore to take revenge on you... Even if you have been promoted to a high position, I will still eat a piece of your flesh even if I die!"
Talleyrand lowered his head slightly, his eyes staring at Byers like a wolf.
The six men and women beside him had solemn expressions, yet a hint of relief.
"Captain... You saved our lives before, and today we will give them back to you! Give the order, we are not afraid even of a saint!"
"Thank you..."
Talleyrand's expression softened slightly and he glanced at the people around him.
Immediately, he roared and transformed into a dark gray gargoyle, flapping his wings and rushing towards Byers. The other six people followed closely behind, each using their sequence abilities.
Seeing this, Byers just shook his head and said:
"Night."
Buzz!
This spiritual world suddenly became pitch dark.
The area within a radius of several kilometers was plunged into darkness.
*

When the night fades away.
Talleyrand had fallen to the ground in a pool of blood.
He moved his eyes with difficulty and looked up at the sky.
The bodies of the other six team members floated strangely in the air, like hanged people, and their souls were completely annihilated.
Talleyrand looked at the man in the black coat not far away. He had not moved a single step from beginning to end, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
“Saint… hehehahaha!
”
He suddenly burst into laughter with tears in his eyes.
"I said, even if I die, I will bite off a piece of you... of your flesh! Byers!"
Talleyrand kept coughing up blood, his eyes fixed on Byers, but a smile that was a mixture of madness, paranoia and complacency appeared on his face.
At this moment of death, he suddenly remembered the advice his boss had given him before he set out.
"Talleyrand, are you sure you want to apply for this A-level artifact? Over the years, no one has been willing to use it because the cost is too high... In fact, you don't have to be so obsessed with Byers. Now is a period of total war, you..."
"Lord Judge, I am certain that I will invoke the Grudge of the Dark Eldest Son... Even if she dies in the line of duty this time, Byers will receive the punishment she deserves!"
"well… "
Sighs rippled through Talleyrand's memories.
And after vaguely seeing Byers's gloomy expression, he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
He is dead.
At the same time, an extremely dark black line emerged from Talleyrand's body and connected with Byers.
"At the cost of his life, this mythical curse is bestowed upon the murderer..."
Biles looked down at the black line connected to his left chest and murmured.
"A very familiar aura. This is the descendant of that being in the dark world... No wonder he is so powerful."
Her eyes narrowed suddenly.
A severe headache followed, catching him off guard.
Byers groaned, covered his eyes, and bent slightly.
"This guy..."
She didn't expect Talleyrand to resort to such an extreme suicide attack. Although this mythical curse did not cause any substantial harm to her, it continued to erode her sanity and was difficult to remove in a short period of time, which seriously affected her subsequent revenge actions.
Terrence has few opportunities to use his true self. If he misses it, it will be hard to find it again next time.
But Byers is not someone who backs down easily. Even with this curse, she will still unswervingly implement her established revenge plan.
Just at this moment.
A golden light descended from the sky.
Terrence, wearing a white robe and a crown, appeared in front of Byers.
Like Biles, this is also the opponent's true identity!
"The Obelisk of Daylight..."
Byers immediately realized that his action just now was monitored by the extraordinary wonders of the Church of the Sun in Fossil City, which was why Terrence came so quickly.
But this is exactly what she wants.
"Terrence, let's end this here today."
Biles put his hand down and slowly stood up.
Terrence stared at her expressionlessly and waved his robe.
winter!
Hundreds of golden light pillars suddenly rose from the ground.
The whole scene was filled with dazzling light and terrifying high temperature!
However, darkness engulfed the pillar of light...

The bloody war in the Yanbang Scale Wall City area ended quickly.
In just a few days, a total of twenty-five red disaster cities, including the main city, were cleared.
A temporary base was built on a suburban plain fifty kilometers away from the next main urban area. The circus cadres led by Chen Lun, Kang Kai's council members, and tens of thousands of players all gathered here.
Take a short break.
Inside a simple wall, in a huge tent.
Chen Lun was lying on a wooden chair, checking his panel.
In the details of "A-level Mission: Bloody War", the progress bar has reached 30%, which means that the "Yanbang No. 2" war zone he is responsible for has successfully cleared one-third of the occupied areas.
'Next, it's the second main city... and that also includes the 'Fortress of Abomination', well... it'll be a little troublesome, but not a big problem.'
Chen Lun stroked his chin, thinking about his next move.
The Fortress of Abomination is an extraordinary wonder built by the Red Apple Church. In the previous life, it was a creation that appeared at the end of version 1.0. It greatly inhibited the progress of the suppression team and caused considerable trouble to the authorities.
Because it has many mysterious powers such as attack, defense and amplification, and can also grow "feet" to become a mobile fortress... The official once suffered from the information gap and was caught off guard.
But Chen Lun knew this very well, so he didn't think it was a big problem.
He could even take this opportunity to submit the information to the Senate, let other consuls and the speaker know, and reduce the losses of the Kangkai Parliament... Maybe the speaker could use this information to do a favor for the shelter, the Church of the Sun, and the Church of the Moon.
"This will also be very helpful to my personal contribution to the main storyline... It can be said to kill three birds with one stone."
He smiled slightly.
Then, Chen Lun switched the panel to personal attributes and checked the experience points accumulated during this period, which was already over 30W.
It seems like a lot, but in reality it is just a drop in the bucket.
After all, his total level is already 130, and it costs 150,000 to upgrade to the next level.
'It's still too little... Let's wait a little longer.'
He shook his head, feeling that upgrading was not easy.
After closing the panel, Chen Lun continued to browse the game forum and found that there were many more posts about him recently... They were all video clips of him rescuing players during the bloody battle.
Every time he comes down from the sky to save players from danger.
He could easily take out the mid-level priests of the Red Apple Church or the members of the Red Rose Team with just a few moves... They were all considered BOSS-level characters in the eyes of the players, but in the hands of Mr. Jack, they wouldn't last more than a minute.
This made the name of "Mr. Jack" once again a sensation in the gaming community.
Powerful, handsome, mysterious and player-friendly...
All these labels made players far away in other cities envious and jealous, and they regretted not being able to participate in this total war event.
Chen Lun had a smile on his face and browsed the forum with great interest.
Just at this moment.
His Gold Cup Councillor Frey walked in with a familiar man.
"Mr. Archon, a member of the Golden Cup Council has applied to serve under you."
"Um?"
Chen Lun looked up and was a little surprised.
"Akbin?"
The man in the tan windbreaker smiled and bowed slightly towards Chen Lun.
"We meet again, Mr. Jack, but now, I should address you as Your Excellency the Archon..."
