Chapter 1185 605: A Holy Fool's Lackey, Living an Unlucky Life
All I can say is, when misfortune strikes, it knows no bounds.
And for some, their entire life is a personification of tragedy.
Imagine being Shekri, struggling for a lifetime in diligence, finally reaching the position of White King's Chief Priest, believing in your talents only to see White Country vanish in an instant, casting you into the ranks of Evil Foolish, unable to show your face in the light.
After painstakingly becoming a lackey under Holy Fool for years, just when you manage to shine and stand out at the Ancient Temple, Lu Changsheng suddenly emerges right under your eyes!
After expending all effort to escape, determined to prove your worth in anger and vigor, inviting the Four Departments and Six Sects wholeheartedly to accomplish great deeds for Holy Fool, only to be inexplicably surrounded by the Federation and Empire in a pin-down...
Yesterday was a world teeming with life, today Tower City transforms inexplicably into your burial ground!
The twists and turns of fate are nothing but that.
Why is it, what is the reason...
He doesn't understand!
Feeling the rampant malice within the city and the Empire and Federation's spiteful murderous intent akin to a blood feud, Shekri feels cold shivers down his spine, hairs standing on end, suffocating.
Thousands of thoughts tangled in confusion, the more he thinks, the more something seems off, the more the sweat pours. He can't grasp—how has all his effort amounted only to sweat?
With darkness clouding his vision, his mind wavers, constantly warning him with a familiar sensation—the last time... it was at the Ancient Temple!
Suddenly, he shudders, overwhelmed with dread: Could it be Lu Changsheng is eyeing him again?
But it doesn't make sense!
Holy Fool said that was just a superficial fake, purely bait crafted by that dog-like Heavenly Furnace...
It can't be that old dog fishing again, right?
The more he thinks, the emptier his head feels, finding no answers, unable to comprehend Cause and Effect, yet amidst layers of bone-chilling cold, a trembling heart forcibly calms down.
At this moment, he blends in between checkpoints, wearing a police disguise, allowing the Ethereal Celestial People's surveys overhead not to reveal any flaw.
Hold steady! Hold steady!
No rash actions are allowed at this time!
Even if this is the city's outskirts, with wilderness beyond, what appears to be freedom and safety hides the true way to death.
If he were the Empire or Federation, the detection efforts in the wilderness would be numerous times stronger than in Tower City.
Camouflaging in the crowd of countless people in the city, the wolf's disguise may still hold a path, but fleeing to the empty wilderness would be self-delivery.
With that notion, he restrains his restless heart, lurking with claw and fang.
Even if Corpse Mountain is blasted out, he remains motionless, paying no mind; even if he did, it would be pointless—going out now would only suggest to them that he planned to use them as cannon fodder, might as well truly do so!
Anyway, he will have plenty of ways to argue and redirect in the days to come.
Until both sides fall into chaos, and the policeman he's attached to stumbles in a severe quake, hitting his head on the road curb, bleeding profusely, and instantly passing out.
Amidst the chaos, a shadow follows his footsteps, burrowing into the sewer, stealthily heading for the city's other end.
Crossing through the filthy mire and stench, he finally surfaces.
Breathed a sigh of relief at last.
Couldn't help but grin.
—In the end, my skills are superior!
When trapped in dire situations, the happiest thing in the world is selling out teammates and escaping.
Regrettably, at this moment, the most tragic thing in the world is selling out teammates and still not managing to escape...
As the chill surges, instinctively turning around, his pupils illuminated by blazing light; wanting instinctively to dodge, yet realizing the fierce light clings relentlessly, unable to break free.
Like looking up at the scorching sun, when it fills your eyes, where in this world can one hide?
—Sunlight Arrow?!
Shekri is instantly horrified, almost screaming.
Where did this White Deer Hunter come from?!
How can it be, this damn world, Tian Yuan and White Deer have teamed up, two powerful nations serving one person is enough, but to have a hunter waiting on the side too?
With rapid shadows, no more concern for stealth, exerting all effort, yet managing only a brief delay, and then Shekri, like a ragged sack, is pinned against the wall, losing life instantly, silently.
Abandoning a corporeal form, shadows within the blood spread and surge out in escape.
Above the sky, the Dragon Tongue Hunter gazes coldly, bowstring humming, thunderous roars. Though unable to charge up another Sunlight Arrow, the Star Shining Arrow descends like stars, forming a torrential rain, continuously.
In a flash, the spiritual arrows rise like a dense forest, emerging from the streets, buzzing while countless serpentine shadows suddenly spread then contract, narrowly evading spiritual arrows, not marked by the Dragon Tongue Hunter's Star Shining.
Otherwise, Moonlight Arrow will chase relentlessly!
But just as he's about to escape, overbearing pressure descends from the sky, the Empire and Federation's Heavenly Essence Law shifts gravity, instantly multiplying the gravitational force within the area by thousands, buzzing fiercely.
Telekinesis rages, like countless colossal hands pressing down.
Shekri roars defiantly, unable to curse, shadows swelling rapidly, strips snapping open like serpent maws, dousing the area with gray mist.
The poison of rotten scales spreads swiftly.
Where it passes, substances hiss, spiritual essence disperses in chaos, the poison roars, ready to erupt.
It's like a big bomb.
The threat of mutual destruction.
If you're not afraid of turning half of Tower City into a dead zone, then come quickly!
In response to him, a blazing light suddenly shot down from the sky.
Ignoring those Great Evil beings, the Empire's power pressed down with full force, not caring about Shekri's threats, encapsulating him in a burst of radiant light.
Beams of blazing light overlapped, towering like a giant pillar reaching the sky, completely engulfing Shekri.
Just like a complete madman!
No, it's already utterly insane...
In an instant, Shekri was extinguished multiple times within the blazing light, suddenly flickering and casting off a bandage as a substitute, narrowly escaping complete annihilation, drenched in sweat.
All of a sudden, what on earth is going on, why is this like he killed their whole family? Aren't they afraid of mutual destruction with him!
The answer is, no fear.
Thunder suddenly roared from the heavens, a solemn face appearing from the clouds, booming in rage: "Shekri, hand over what you stole!!!"
"What did I steal?!"
Under the encirclement of infinite Star Shining Arrows, Shekri was drenched in sweat, sorrowfully questioning, "What did I steal from you! Listen to me, behind this must be..."
Above, the face of Dorodongville suddenly grinned.
Infuriated.
Doomed, are you still trying to argue?
Your presence near the base was an accident, the Fusion Bomb being stolen was an accident, so many demons and ghosts dug out in Tower City are all accidents!
Why do all the accidents in the world happen to you?
If your luck is that bad, might as well die early, what's the point of living?!
"Stubborn fool!"
Dorodongville's eyes lowered, "Since you won't speak, then to the Earth Emperor's Prison with you, we'll talk slowly there!"
In his hand, a black ebony staff wrapped in layer upon layer of silk, suddenly unsealed.
The Empire's trump card in Central Earth, the treasure inherited from the Earth Emperor, a ritual instrument infused and strengthened by the Empire's authority for hundreds of years, at this moment, the instant it appeared, the entire Tower City seemed to become a fortress of copper and iron, the poison of rotten scales could no longer erode the stability of Tian Yuan.
Close the door and beat the dog!
At this moment, when Shekri instinctively turned around, looking for allies, he realized... taking advantage of the shift of Heavenly Essence Law's target, the group of Corpse Mountain, Shanji, without hesitation, dashed out, dispersing in all directions without a backward glance!
Good news, after all the hardships, finally managed to sell out the comrades.
Bad news, damn it, the one being sold is me!!!
These bastards steal benefits, if no benefits, they run, unreliable!
Shekri's face was twisted with anger, roaring in fury.
Boom!!!
Heavy pressure thundered down, Shekri howled to the sky, in the sharp and shrill cries, three bizarre beast head phantoms emerged behind him and exploded fiercely.
Sadly, it was all useless.
Instantly crushed, heavily shackled, locked down, followed by the Sunlight Arrow piercing through the face, making him feeble, without strength to struggle.
Got him!
Did they capture him?
"Something's wrong."
Ji Jue frowned, pausing his movement of eating melon seeds, it just didn't look like that sly dog would surrender and be captured.
Otherwise, not to mention the Ancient Temple, he would've died when White Country collapsed, how could he live until now?
Something's wrong.
Sensing something wrong, it's not just him?
Watching Shekri weaken rapidly in the shackles, barely alive, like a candle in the wind, in a short moment, he suddenly went limp, dead?
Eyes empty, no breath at all.
Spiritual substance dispersed.
Dead without question, but if it were that easy to die, could he really be a Wolf?
In the moment of death, the shell formed by infinite corruptive poison suddenly expanded like a bomb, bursting, forcing the Empire to go all out to press down, lock it, having no time to spare.
Next, outside the lock, shadows danced.
Like a swarm of snakes moving, suddenly shooting electrically in all directions, unbelievably fast...
At this moment, did he actually escape right under everyone's noses?
