Chapter 1834: Chapter 441: War Breaks Out! (2)
"Are you under the command of the Source Tower? Where is your priest robe, and where is the Star Emblem?"
Chi Shou’s tone was even more disrespectful.
The Source Tower openly recruits priests, many Transcendents across Central Continent respond... but there are always some who don’t. The treatment Source Tower offers to priests isn’t bad, but after all, it’s dealing with the entire continent.
There are always some other families, large syndicates, that offer better treatment than Source Tower.
Gu Li, for instance, abandoned the call of Source Tower and accepted employment from the financial syndicates.
For someone like Chi Shou, who comes from an academy background, he despises people like Gu Li, who wants both the benefits and the honor, taking advantage of the syndicate’s offer while enjoying the glory of Source Tower. The reason he’s been dispatched to Rhein City is actually because the headquarters of the Red Wine Group wants a restraining force to keep an eye on Ye Kaluo, preventing Rhein from becoming a one-sided authority.
In fact, Red Wine’s headquarters’ policy has been very successful. They harvested a large amount of benefits and planted a bad apple.
Gu Li was not upset at Chi Shou’s attack at all.
Instead, he smiled and said, "You see, I didn’t even get the priest’s position from Source Tower, but I’m still willing to step up. Doesn’t that show my love for this land of the Central Continent even more?"
He changed his tone.
Gu Li’s smile suddenly disappeared, he looked up at the building and spoke softly, "Mr. Chi, you are a noble Divine Envoy, a noble student from Holy Cross Academy. Now, the orders from Upper City have arrived... You won’t just stand by and watch Ye Kaluo escape Rhein City?"
"..."
Chi Shou silently clenched his fist.
"It is quite a coincidence, the dean of Holy Cross Academy has sent a message."
Gu Li said coldly, "He said the remnants of Ancient Literature Society must not be tolerated... Ye Kaluo must pay for her deceit! The cooperation between Red Wine and Lu Nanzhi over the years must have involved private dealings!"
"Wow—"
Just then.
The top floor glass of Red Grape Building shattered on cue, and a stunning silhouette soared through the high sky.
Despite the building being sealed by "Deep Sea", Ye Kaluo still found a way to break through... That was to violently destroy the building façade. When she shattered the glass, her spiritual power sensed the Transcendent team waiting on the ground, but no one else caught her attention except the young man who looked up and met her gaze.
Chi Shou.
"Mr. Chi!"
Gu Li drew his pistol from his waist, loaded the Purple Silver Bullet, and fired with a swift motion!
Bam!
Ye Kaluo swung her whip and in the air, several meters away, struck the bullet to explode, the dazzling purple flames bursting into splendid fireworks in mid-air.
She didn’t hesitate, and after breaking the wall, she used her Domain Power, countless vines grew on the building’s façade transforming into a long rope. She grabbed the sturdy vines and swung dozens of meters away, disappearing from everyone’s vision like this.
But it was meaningless.
Because the entire Rhein City was under "Deep Sea’s" control.
Everyone received the identity tracking chart of Ye Kaluo and the city’s 3D stereoscopic map projection.
"Huh..."
Chi Shou took a deep breath.
A circle of white air waves spread from his feet, and when he raised his head again, his gaze pierced through several buildings, directly locking onto the distant target.
"Heart Realm, imprison!"
Chi Shou gritted his teeth, making his own choice.
He crossed his hands to form seals, his ten fingers interlocked to create the realm.
Ye Kaluo, who was leaping, suddenly collided with a transparent wall. She knew the prowess of her counterpart... Despite being from an academy, her innate talent was terrifyingly high. If she had participated in the Source Tower’s Divine Envoy trials years earlier, she would have had a significant chance of competing for the formal Divine Envoy title!
[Heart Realm] is an A-level Spiritual Ability; once formed, both parties enter a state of spiritual imprisonment.
Ye Kaluo withdrew, changing direction, only to encounter walls everywhere.
She knew her spirit was locked.
In this situation, to break the walls, either one needs an extremely strong physical attack power, enough to overrun Chi Shou by a large grade of the Transcendent realm.
Or, one must deplete the spirit with Chi Shou until the cage breaks.
She looked at the crowd rushing from afar, and the young man who, while maintaining his sealed gesture, showed reluctance in his gaze.
"Good..."
Gu Li chuckled softly; this time he abandoned the Strong Logic Bullet and instead took out his sealed artifact, an ancient crossbow he had treasured for years.
The Green Silver Crossbow arrow wrapped in golden light was loaded.
He aimed his arm at Ye Kaluo.
Boom!
A violent roar sounded on the ground, the crossbow arrow was like a cannonball, shattering the air within several meters of the firing point, the air waves rolling. Gu Li squinted as he watched the golden light penetrating the void; Ye Kaluo swung her long whip against the crossbow arrow, but this time the whip was torn apart, one of her shoulders pierced by the Green Silver Crossbow arrow, heavily pinned against the transparent cage wall!
"Ah..."
The sound of painful cries echoed in the air.
Gu Li’s face showed not a trace of sympathy, and he backhanded loaded the second crossbow arrow, but this time, at the moment the golden light crossbow was fired, Chi Shou intervened.
With just a slight exertion.
The crossbow arrow altered its direction, the raging golden beam shot toward the Skytop! Gu Li staggered from the massive recoil, enraged, "What are you doing?"
"Enough."
Chi Shou said coldly, "She has no more strength to escape..."
[Heart Realm’s] effect was lifted.
Ye Kaluo fell from the air like a rose, only it was a withering rose.
