Chapter 315: Chapter 224: Blinded, It Does Not Affect My Pursuit of the Enemy
Chen Lun was squatting on a tree outside the clinic, concealed in the shadows.
He lowered his hand from his eyes and watched as members of the Red Rose Squad rushed out below, inwardly remarking, ‘As expected of the elite Transcendents from the Red Apple Church, their vigilance is strong.’
Regrettably, everything he needed to know, he already knew.
‘It turns out to be a mission targeting Mr. Bales… But I didn’t expect all the coincidences to point here. It seems like they were intentionally leading me to confront the Red Rose Squad.’
Chen Lun thought expressionlessly.
As a Sequence Seven of the Destiny Faction, he had a certain perception of Destiny’s veins, and this time, he clearly sensed that some deliberate manipulation lurked within these coincidences.
Although he had no concrete evidence, his intuition told him that someone was secretly manipulating his destiny from behind the scenes.
‘No matter what entity you are and whatever your purpose… sooner or later, I’m going to shred your mask.’
He felt slightly annoyed but calmed his emotions and thought for a few more seconds.
‘The most pressing matter now is to take back Mr. Bales’ body. Fortunately, Jerome isn’t here right now… which is a good opportunity.’
Suddenly, Chen Lun looked up, spotting a short-haired member of the Red Rose Squad squinting his eyes and walking towards the tree he was in.
However, Chen Lun wasn’t nervous because he was wearing the “Black Stripe Cufflinks” and had sprayed on the “Restful Perfume.” With the dual strengthening, his existence was almost erased from sight and sensation.
As expected, the Red Rose Squad member scrutinized the shadow on the tree intently a few times and then silently turned to leave.
But at that moment.
The person suddenly spun around, leapt on the spot, and threw a punch at where Chen Lun was.
“I know you’re hiding here! That pungent smell of perfume is even more noticeable than your stench!”
The short-haired man revealed a ferocious smile.

Chen Lun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
‘Even after smelling the perfume, he’s not drowsy… Truly a Ghoul.’
Bang!!
A loud sound.
The short-haired man was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground, shattering the flagstones into powder and stirring up a cloud of dust and stones several meters high.
He lay in the crater, his face covered in blood, looking up in disbelief at the pale “monster” among the branches.
“One punch… how is that possible?!”
After speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hearing the disturbance, other members of the Red Rose Squad altered their expressions and swiftly turned to run towards Chen Lun’s location.
“Hehe… you’re doomed.”
The man on the ground struggled to his feet, looking coldly at Chen Lun.
“We’ve already sealed off this area; you can’t escape!”
“Escape?”
Chen Lun’s green vertical pupils looked down at him, devoid of any emotion.
“You think too much.”
Bang!!
The tree branch burst on cue.
Chen Lun’s pale wings fluttered, and he vanished without a trace.
In order to settle the fight quickly, he immediately entered an “Extreme State” at the moment of exposure!
The next second, Chen Lun’s blurred figure appeared in front of the short-haired man.
The man’s pupils contracted.
He was completely unable to comprehend the speed, unable to catch even a trace of movement.
With a flap of his two pairs of pale wings, Chen Lun directly delivered his most powerful strike.
Buzz buzz!!
The Red Rose Squad member only felt a buzzing like thousands of insects flapping their wings by his ears, the sound of the high-speed vibrations of the wings plus the high-frequency noises produced by each of the minute, scale-like tendrils waving.
Boom——!!
The visible shockwave dispersed, bending nearby trees in its wake.
It was like a sudden violent storm!
The monk robed in vivid red didn’t even have time to scream before being blasted away. His bones and muscles were shattered, no part of him remained unscathed. His body tumbled and flipped before finally crashing to the ground like a muddy puddle.
Boom… rumble…!
After skidding for several dozen meters, he lay barely alive at the feet of the other six members of the Red Rose Squad.
If not for being a Ghoul with astonishing Life Force, that blow would have reduced him to fragments!
“Such power in one strike…?!”
The members of the Red Rose Squad looked shocked and turned their heads to stare at the pale “monster.” They couldn’t grasp the depths of this being, and all tensed up their nerves.
“Who are you, sir?”
Being able to incapacitate a comrade to the brink of death in such a short time undoubtedly indicated a Transcendent of at least Sequence Six or stronger.
Although the Red Rose Squad was fearless, they were also very cautious.
Chen Lun didn’t speak, just coldly glancing at them.
“Humph! Let’s take him down!”
One of the Red Rose Squad spoke, and the rest immediately took action.
If communication was impossible, they would first suppress him and then interrogate slowly.
The six of them held back nothing, instantly activating transformations, their bodies growing taller and bulkier, dark fur sprouting as they tore their bright red robes, turning into massive Ghoul monsters.
Narrow beastly heads, sharp fangs and claws.
Howl——!!
Six monsters pounced from every angle in front of Chen Lun, their eyes filled with ferocity.
Anyone daring to engage the Red Rose Squad, even a Sequence Six Transcendent, was undoubtedly doomed!
Boom!!
Six ghouls crashed down, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.
However, to their astonishment, the pale figure had already vanished as if into thin air, leaving only a torn “Spade J” card behind!
“Damn it!”
One of the ghouls growled.
They quickly turned their heads toward the clinic, or more precisely, their gaze tried to penetrate the clinic to reach the deep warehouse inside.

Inside the warehouse.
Dr. Wozhuas had just reached the “Spade J” card, about to bend down to pick it up, when he suddenly sensed a strong danger.
He abruptly halted his action and leaped backward.
As he dodged, a black trench coat flared up with a whooshing sound, and a pale fist burst through the hem, coming at him like a cannonball!
Whoo!!
“Too fast!”
The doctor’s expression changed slightly, and, having no other choice, he struck out with his palm, intending to use the force to retreat.
But the force of the punch was indeed far beyond his imagination. It whistled as it collided with his palm, causing an explosion and a burst of air.
Wozhuas only felt a numbness in his palm. The pain spread from his wrist to his forearm and finally to his shoulder, the whole half of his body felt as if it were being pricked with needles.
And that was not all.
The attacker’s body surged with a bloody aura. The pale hand withdrew, gaining a dark, shiny luster before swinging back out, this time like several black knives.
“Ghoul’s Claw?!”
Dr. Wozhuas exclaimed, and then, making a snap decision, he transformed into several dozen bats that scattered, successfully evading the terrifying claw strike.
“[Flesh Faction Sequence Six – Bloodline]… Heh!”
Chen Lun did not stop pursuing but instead swung three waves of cards, four in each wave.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…!!
The sharp, high-speed card throwing knives accurately hit the scattered bats, twelve cards, bringing down twelve bats.
Several other bats got tainted with the bloody aura, their bodies decayed rapidly and they dissolved into a puddle of blood on hitting the ground.
When the remaining bats gathered and Dr. Wozhuas regained his human form, he stumbled, nearly unable to stay upright.
His face was deathly pale, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
“Whoever you are, since you’ve come here, don’t even think about leaving.”
The doctor said emotionlessly.
No sooner had he spoken than the bone carving boy sitting on the chair suddenly turned his head, following which his head snapped 180 degrees clockwise, his pitch-black eyes staring straight at Chen Lun.
The next instant, Chen Lun’s vision went dark, and he could not see anything any longer; his ears went silent, deprived of all sounds.
He was completely engulfed in an utter darkness and silence, unable to escape.
[You are under the “Deprivation of Senses” magic attack by the Bone Carving Doll! Temporarily losing sight and hearing!]
Dr. Wozhuas smirked coldly, glancing at the nun beside him who immediately understood and stepped forward along with the doctor, preparing to deal a fatal blow to this unidentified enemy!
The nun, as a member of the Red Rose Squad and also a [Ghoul], had extraordinary physical strength. Her right hand transformed into a pitch-black claw, striking fiercely!
Dr. Wozhuas, too, wielding a scalpel, aimed for Chen Lun’s eyes, the blade edge along with blood beads, seemed to take on a layer of red glow, making it even sharper!
Chen Lun stood rooted to the spot, seemingly like fish on a chopping board, to be carved at will.
But what the doctor and the nun had not noticed was that his nostrils twitched slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Magic “Five Senses Perception”!
‘Deprive my vision and hearing? Unfortunately, I’ve smelled your movements.’
Chen Lun suddenly bent down, slightly twisting his body, simultaneously evading the claw strike and the scalpel, as if both sides had missed each other by a prearranged script.
Dr. Wozhuas and the nun both showed surprised expressions, but the next moment, their faces turned pale.
“Dodge!!”
The doctor shouted.
But it was already too late.
Chen Lun’s right hand also transformed into a pitch-black claw, which was the ability of the Mysterious Object [Claw Armband], and he even layered it with an additional exoskeleton of [Steel Bones], which even the [Ghoul] nun failed to see through.
His black claw, like a knife, thrust forward, directly aiming for the nun’s neck.
With wings unfolded behind him, he vibrated at high speed and pounced towards the doctor.
Standing alone against two, not only not retreating but also aiming to kill them, was the confidence of Chen Lun in his “extreme state”!
Sizzle—clang!
The nun, indeed a Red Apple Church elite transcendent, reacted just in time, another black claw swinging from left to right to block, colliding with Chen Lun’s black claw.
Unfortunately, her three claws broke off amidst the sparks!
Then Chen Lun’s claw sliced across her delicate and smooth neck, severing the trachea, cervical vertebrae, and arteries all at once!
Splat—!!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the nun stumbled backward, her expression dazed.
At the same time, Dr. Wozhuas was struck head-on by the pale wings!
Boom!!
A surging air flow directly knocked the bone carving doll off the chair onto the floor, and the doctor screamed as he was pressurized to scatter—he tried to use the Bloodline’s “Incarnation as Bats” to dodge the attack at the moment of impact.
Unfortunately, the strike from the pale wings was no longer a mere [Sequence Six] power.
Most of those hundreds of bats turned directly into dust, and only less than a tenth of the bats narrowly escaped, regathering in a corner of the warehouse. When they reformed, Dr. Wozhuas, drenched in blood, fell to his knees with a thud.
“No… it’s impossible… This is not the power that [Sequence Seven] should have…!”
