Chapter 224: Wind and clouds swept away, bloody storm (asking for monthly ticket)

A strong wind blew up Xia Pingzhou's long hair. He leaned down, pressed against the spine of the paper dragon, and looked down at the situation on the island.

The kimono girl silently raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve tightly, as if she was afraid that he would fall off the dragon's back and die.

Looking down from two hundred meters above, you can have a clear view of the entire island.

When Xia Pingzhou saw the situation on the island clearly, there was a look of slight surprise on his face. He thought the battle would end quickly, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

At this time, above the sea, the majestic silhouette of the Loch Ness Monster emerged in the twilight, with endless black mud and water flowing all over its body, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

The phoenix whistled down from the sky and tangled with the Loch Ness Monster. The white-haired boy rode on a Christmas sleigh and turned into a giant snow-white snake, rumbling over and hitting the side of the Loch Ness Monster.

On the other side, a huge shark over a hundred meters long was confronting a huge cruise ship head-on, and Ruth was standing on the deck with her arms folded.

The wind was blowing hard but she remained calm, her sea-blue hair swaying along with the pendant.

At some point, Ji Minghuan had gotten used to multitasking. Even though Yagubaru was still in fierce confrontation with Ruth, he was still able to think calmly with Xia Pingzhou's "thinking habits" and then make actions that were in line with the logic of the body.

"Where is Bernardo?" Xia Pingzhou asked.

He suddenly discovered that one of the brigade members was missing from the island. He was the holder of the Black Death fragment, the former "Black Death Cult Leader" - Bernardo Edward.

"They just left..." Ayase Origami said, "They took a carriage towards the Imperial Palace."

Xia Pingzhou was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Bernardo left alone?"

He thought that the highest rule of the White Crow Brigade was that they must never disobey the orders of the commander. Bernardo Edward left the island without permission and handed the enemy he was supposed to deal with to the Ripper. There must be some reason behind this.

And it is probably for this reason that Bernardo tried every means to hide in the brigade.

Two minutes ago, it was a wasteland above Whale Mouth Island.

Bernardo Edward, the fifth member of the White Crow Brigade, was walking towards them step by step.

This was a white-haired man wearing white gloves and a long white trench coat. From his attire to his skin color to his hair color, every corner of his body was exactly the same pale.

Opposite him stood a man with long black hair and a beard. In his hand was a dark golden long sword, with golden ripples on the blade.

This person is "Ryan" from the Royal Court team, the holder of the generational wonder "The Sword in the Stone".

He was also the man who cut off the red dragon's head with his own hands.

The two looked at each other in the wilderness, and it was finally the former who spoke to break the silence.

"Long time no see... Ryan."

"You have fallen to this level, Bernardo."

Ryan lowered the sword in the stone, lowered his head and took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head and looked straight into his eyes:

"To be in league with a bunch of bandits... to plunder the country where you were born is worse than animals."

Bernardo took off his one-way mirror, put it in his windbreaker pocket, and then pulled up his white gloves.

He raised his head and met Ryan's gaze:

"You're right... Although the White Crow Brigade is an unforgivable bandit group, it has one advantage, which is that it can provide a home for those who are not accepted by this world. No matter who you are, it will accept you. That's why it attracts so many rebellious and powerful people with nowhere to retreat."

Ryan said word by word: "Don't call yourself a victim. You were the one who violated the rules of the box garden in the first place."

"Of course. So for that insignificant rule, my former best brother took the lead in expelling me." Bernardo smiled. "I'm glad that you drove me away with your own hands at that time. Do you know what I have done outside these years?"

"I don't care. I just know that you deserve to die now." Ryan said in a deep voice, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. This is the rule of this world. The Red Dragon was wrong, so he couldn't escape the judgment. And you... do you think you can compare to the Red Dragon and escape from us?"

"Just because you killed the Red Dragon doesn't mean you are better than it." Bernardo spread his hands, "You are still the same as before... inferior, dark, cowardly, and can only watch the boy who is called a genius from afar."

He lowered his voice and sneered indifferently:

"And you will never be able to match him... because you used the most despicable means to surround and kill him. Of course, you will lose even if you fight alone, just like you challenged him to a duel in the duel arena a few years ago, but in the end you had to kneel at his feet."

"I don't need to be better than him, and he doesn't deserve to be better than him," Ryan said. "From the moment he colluded with you to rebel against the country, he has been an out-and-out sinner."

"Yes... sinners. In such a narrow country, once we are labeled as 'sinners' by you, we have no way to retreat. Where can we escape to?" Bernardo smiled grimly.

He took out a dark card from his windbreaker pocket and crushed it.

A dark orange light pattern flashed by, and a dark mist suddenly spread out, and someone was wailing in the mist.

"The Black Death..." Ryan was stunned. "The rumors are true. Are you the leader of the Black Death?"

“Yes,” said Bernardo, “it has always been me.”

A large pile of skulls suddenly rose from behind him, like pythons crawling towards the sky, piling up into a black tide. Death-like resentment poured out, sweeping over like a violent storm.

In each skull's eye sockets were a pair of bloodshot eyeballs, each of which was rolling around. The skull's mouth opened and closed, making a crisp "click-click" sound when it collided with the jaw.

"This is the head of a person who died of the Black Death. The Black Death may not be the strongest generation, but it is definitely the most influential generation... The more people who die from the plague, the more people's power I can use. And now... Savor their resentment, Ryan."

Ryan raised his head in shock, staring at the tide of skulls, and said hoarsely:

"What have you done all these years?"

"I don't have time to bother with you. My target is the Royal Court."

Bernardo knew that the Royal Court Hall contained fragments of generational wonders used by successive members of the Royal Court team.

As long as he takes advantage of the war to collect all these fragments, he will become the most powerful news teller in the world.

Even if the fragments are unwilling to acknowledge him, he can still use the "Black Death" to corrode them one by one.

By that time, even if Jack the Ripper crushed his heart that he had kept with her, he would definitely find a way to survive.

There are so many generation-level wonder fragments stored in the Royal Palace, there must be one fragment that can regenerate his heart.

In this way, he doesn't have to fear the revenge of the White Crow Brigade and can only sit back and reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Bernardo crushed a popular-level oddity fragment - "The Carriage of the Dead".

White streaks of light flashed across the sky, and then a fierce horse riding on will-o'-the-wisp fire dragged a carriage from the horizon.

"Goodbye, Ryan... Just take a breath here, I will come and take all of your lives later."

After saying that, Bernardo put one hand behind his back, opened the curtain, got on the carriage, and headed towards the palace.

Ryan swung the Sword in the Stone, creating a ripple of golden light that swept away the waves of skeletons. He raised his head and roared, "Don't run, Bernardo! Come back here!"

"It's too late..." Bernardo said dimly, "If you had said this to me a few years ago, I might have turned back."

He pulled the curtain and stopped observing the scene on the island with his peripheral vision. The undead carriage flew away into the air.

At the same time, on the other side of the island.

An Lun Si, the 11th member of the White Crow Brigade, walked step by step towards Louis, a member of the Royal Court team, who was at the edge of the island.

The two of them walked on the grassland, and the light green grass debris fluttered in the air, as if a special kind of snow had fallen.

Louis suddenly took off his round-frame glasses, scratched his brown curly hair, and couldn't help sighing.

He lowered his head and wiped his glasses while saying, "You come to challenge me alone? Do you think we just fought with the Red Dragon and our fighting power is almost exhausted, so you come to take advantage of us? Then you underestimate the people of the Royal Court Team."

"How should I put it...it depends on luck. If the goddess of luck favors me, then I will not challenge you alone."

An Luns spoke lightly, with a strange light flashing in his pupils. He summoned out the huge slot machine, leaned on the side of the slot machine, and patted the iron sheet on the top of the slot machine.

"You said so?"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the slot machine's lottery interface.

"The supernatural power is a slot machine? As expected of your brigade, the power is quite despicable."

Louis laughed dryly and threw away his round-frame glasses.

Then, he crushed the generation-level wonder in his hand - "The Tower of Babylon".

Louis chose another way to use the generational anecdote, which was to blend into it.

Generational and above oddities can allow the user to become one with the oddity itself, rather than simply releasing the oddity to fight.

There are many benefits to doing this.

One of them is to be able to protect the envoy of strange news, so Li Qingping chooses to merge with the red dragon Wales in every battle.

Louis lowered his face. With his body as the center, the magnificent and huge tower rose layer by layer. The sea and sky shook violently with the rumbling sound.

After a while, Louis' body was covered by the towering tower. The top of the tower reached the sky, and when he looked up, he could not see the end, but only the clouds dyed red by the setting sun.

"Come, let me see what that broken slot machine of yours is good for?"

Louis smiled slightly, and a provocative voice rose from the giant tower.

An Luns put his hands in the pockets of his suit jacket, looked up and looked at the giant tower with interest.

In his mind, he slowly recalled the information provided by the team leader: twenty seconds after the strange fragment "Tower of Babylon" was built, if the tower had not been destroyed by anyone, it would bring about a "divine punishment."

The thunder that fell from the sky would indiscriminately bombard the enemies near the Tower of Babel. Only Louis himself, who was hiding inside the tower, could escape the disaster.

But the downside is that during this period, Louis cannot leave the tower because he has become one with the strange story.

At this moment, Louis stood in the shadows inside the giant tower.

Through the gap in the tower, he stared motionlessly at An Lun Si who was leaning against the slot machine.

In the Bible mythology, the Tower of Babel was a product of the anger of God. Humans wanted to go to heaven by building a tall tower, but they were punished by God.

"God's punishment is coming..."

Louis looked up at the sky and saw a cumulonimbus cloud sweeping in darkly, with lightning flashing between the clouds.

He couldn't imagine that this member of the White Crow Brigade could break through the defense of the Tower of Babel in any way, so this victory was already easy for him.

An Lunsi stared at the huge tower that was hundreds of meters high, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "We have to collapse this broken tower within 20 seconds, so we can only pray that the slot machine will give a good result."

As he spoke, he pulled the railing down.

Amid the special effects sound of "ding ding dong dong", the cute cartoon patterns on the lottery box of the slot machine interface began to change rapidly - "bomb", "billiard cue", "money", and "boxing gloves".

The bonus patterns that are difficult to see at a glance are replaced one after another, so fast that only afterimages are left.

Finally, the first pattern slowly froze, it was a "bomb";

Then, the second pattern slowly froze, still a "bomb";

Slowly, the third pattern also froze, and it was still a "bomb".

An Luns was stunned for two seconds, then he let out a long sigh.

He raised his hand and patted the hot slot machine, and said to Louis in the tower:

"Do you know how the 'strongest in France' natural disaster-level esper, 'Ember', died? If you don't know, I will let you experience his death."

He curled his lips playfully and suddenly raised his voice: "Sometimes... people just need a little luck."

After he finished speaking, An Luns put one hand in his pocket and held up the huge slot machine with the other hand, lifting it high.

Then, it was thrown suddenly towards the giant tower in front of it. The slot machine spun a few times in the sky and flew straight towards the giant tower which was hundreds of times larger than itself!

"What happened? He threw the slot machine over here?" Louis was slightly stunned.

He originally thought that the slot machine was the combat core of this psychic, but he didn't expect that person to throw the core over so easily, as if... he had given up on himself.

"Is he planning to escape before the fight even starts?" Thinking of this, Louis suddenly laughed.

Suddenly, the front shell of the slot machine opened, and a huge rocket launcher slowly stretched out from it. The rocket launcher turned upside down and aimed at the slot machine itself.

Flames spurted out from the muzzle, detonating the slot machine from the closest distance!

At that moment, a beam of fire like an intercontinental missile shot up into the sky, engulfing the base of the giant tower, and then, like a ferocious beast made of flames, it climbed up the tower with its fangs and claws bared.

Endless, straight to the clouds!

A moment later, the only thing left in sight was a gray mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

The burn marks spread across the ground, drawing a bird-wing-like shape. The black was tinged with blood-red, like volcanic lava.

The giant tower turned into pieces of ashes and flew away.

The originally beautiful grassland has now turned into a deep pit like a meteorite falling to the ground.

And An Luns himself had already retreated a thousand meters away after throwing out the slot machine.

After a moment, he, the instigator, finally dared to lean forward, raised his hand to cover his nose, coughed twice, and fanned his hands to drive away the smell of gunpowder.

Then he slowly walked to the edge of the deep pit and looked down. He saw a human-shaped skeleton lying quietly in the pit, squatting on the ground with his hands on his head in a desperate posture. There was no skin or flesh left.

Staring at the skeletons in the deep pit, An Luns said with emotion:

"Wow... Is there only a skeleton left? The defense of the Tower of Babylon is indeed well-deserved."

He stopped admiring Louis's artistic squatting posture and looked up at the top of his head.

On a large suspended staircase, the Daytime Wolves were fighting with large groups of the Royal Court Army.

At this moment, Bloody and Andrew were crouching on the back of the giant wolf - the former used blood to form a longbow and a bunch of arrows, and shot the strange news envoy hiding behind the soldiers; the latter used a sniper rifle to shoot powerful air flow bombs, and was responsible for destroying the opponent's formation together with Bai Tanlang.

"It seems they don't have to worry." An Luns put his hands on his hips, curled the corners of his mouth, and turned his head to look at the Ripper's side.

The Ripper's battle ended as swiftly as a whirlwind.

I saw the Nine Demons crushing the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons". Tengu, Shura, Yaksha, Kappa... the shadows of one hundred ghosts in Japanese mythology beat drums and gongs, and formed a formation like a dark cloud covering a city above the wasteland.

Hundreds of ghosts swept towards Yan Molin like an overwhelming force.

However, the Ripper remained calm and simply transformed his sword into a giant sickle.

Holding the sickle, she fearlessly rushed forward into the center of the enemy camp. Her black and white skirt fluttered, and the sickle in her hand was like a blood-red crescent moon, sweeping past unstoppably as she rushed forward.

It was a second of complete silence, and then a bloody storm suddenly fell on the wasteland.

The blood was flying wildly in the sky like a tide, and the sound of it enveloped the whole world in an instant.

Then, the Ripper leaped up, turned around like a light bird, and came in front of the shadow of the Yamata no Orochi.

At this moment, Kuki Suye and the phantom of the Yamata no Orochi merged into one.

"It turned out to be a fake Yamata no Orochi... I thought it was a real mythical wonder, it scared me."

As she finished her words, her figure had already arrived in front of the neck of the Yamata no Orochi.

Seizing this moment, the eight snake heads opened their bloody mouths at the same time, and venom spurted out like a tsunami.

However, Yanma Lin's sickle turned into a demon sword at this moment. She held the dark red sword horizontally against her waist, and then drew the sword out of the sheath in an instant.

The blade flashed wildly, tearing the curtain of venom apart and leaving a huge gap. Like a rotten wood and rotten wood, the circular blade light cut off the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi.

"What kind of monster is this..." Jiugui Suye was shocked, his head covered in cold sweat.

After cutting off the head of the Yamata no Orochi, Yan Molin shrank his body in mid-air, passed through the gap of venom, and then switched the sword to sickle form.

She descended from the sky, her skirt flying as she sliced ​​the body of the Yamata no Orochi. Amidst the splattering blood, she fell towards Kuki Suya who was hiding inside the snake's body, and then neatly split his body in half.

The Ripper sheathed his knife and walked away without looking back.

Two seconds later, Kuki Suye's body slowly separated, and then a fountain-like line of blood spurted up from the crack.

"Oh... This is our brigade's strongest fighter, the only natural disaster level, clean and neat."

An Luns said this with a smile, then looked up and saw Xia Pingzhou riding on the back of a dragon using the second black and white king flash to penetrate Di Rejie's meteorite.

An Lunsi was surprised and whistled unconsciously, muttering to himself: "The newcomer has improved so fast. Can he already fight against a quasi-disaster-level monster head-on? He feels even more monstrous than the Ripper Sister..."

He turned around again and glanced sideways at Ryan who was struggling with the wave of skeletons caused by the fragments of the "Black Death".

Ryan fought while retreating, his body as fast as the wind. Every time he slashed the sword in the stone, the golden ripples would take away a piece of skull, but soon new skulls emerged and filled the waves.

He finally realized it. The number of skeletons depends on the number of souls taken away by the Black Death. Unless the souls of the Black Death are consumed, the skeletons will not stop generating.

Ryan's expression became more and more solemn, angry and ferocious.

He didn't know how many people his old friend had killed through the plague to form such an irreconcilable offensive... This could no longer be described as a huge crowd.

"You are really crazy, Bernardo!"

Ryan roared hoarsely, jumped up with the Sword in the Stone in hand, and faced the sweeping wave of skeletons.

"It seems we don't need to worry about him, but where is Bernardo? I can't see him. Forget it... I should go and see how the fighting is going over there." Thinking of this, An Luns restrained the smile on his face and turned to look at the scene above the ocean.

"The captain said not to intervene, but can that kid and the shark really defeat a calamity-level wonder user?"

Above the sea, Yagubaru's body gradually expanded, and after a moment it released its complete form.

With a body length of 200 meters, the erected pupils alone were enough to be compared to the height of a residential building. Dark blue metal covered the entire body, making it look like a machine-made beast, and the black waves it raised were like winding mountains.

Wrapped in a dark tide, it continued to rise, casting a shadow that blocked out the sun and sky and covered the deck of the Titanic.

"Can it get this big?"

Ruth raised her head from the shadow of the deck, followed the shaking mast and looked up at the giant shark that was as big as a battleship. "It seems... I still underestimated you."
