Chapter 1228 - Chapter 1228 Chapter 378 Black Blade Squad_3

Chapter 1228: Chapter 378 Black Blade Squad_3 Chapter 1228: Chapter 378 Black Blade Squad_3 Unfortunately, the Black Blade Assassins clearly understood all of the target’s methods.

Just then, a barrage of “Acid Bottles” suddenly rained down from the rock wall they had been eyeing.

The sound of glass shattering echoed, and the yellowish-brown corrosive acid instantly covered a large area where Lenny had been standing.

Once the Puppet Control Room called the puppets, being unable to move positions became a fatal weakness.

The Magic Pharmacist hiding in the shadows had obviously anticipated this.

As the indiscriminate shower of Acid Bottles rained down, the hissing sounds of corrosion erupted.

Amidst the yellow mist, the once imposing puppets were almost instantaneously corroded, riddled with holes, and rendered useless on the spot, causing Lenny to curse under his breath, “Damn it!”

Taking advantage of the cover provided by a few cannon shells, he charged towards the ceiling, intent on dealing with the enemy that had launched the sneak attack.

Regrettably, the teamwork of the Black Blade Organization’s squad was incredibly synchronized, and the Blade Dancer stuck to him like a shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the battle escalated into a fever pitch.

…

The underground river was already confined by a Barrier, and as the two sides clashed, the waters surged tumultuously.

Leonard Churchill’s boat rocked precariously.

Seeing that neither side would die anytime soon, he watched with interest, initially just wanting to enjoy the spectacle and gauge their strengths.

But obviously, neither of the fighting parties was green; how could they overlook him?

However, at this moment, rage was hard to conceal in Lenny’s heart. Glancing at someone on the boat who was just watching, he roared inwardly, “Why isn’t that guy taking action? What on earth is he thinking!”

If he hadn’t had a few tricks up his sleeve, he would have died several times over by now.

Dammit!

How could he be saddled with such foolish teammates!

In Lenny’s opinion, anyone who dared to come to the Black Market alone to shop must have had some skills.

And certainly wouldn’t lack cleverness.

By taking a risk and lending a hand, he thought this “outsider” would at least hold off one assassin, which would greatly improve his own situation.

Unexpectedly, after so long into the fight, that person had shown no intention of intervening at all.

He even began to suspect that this person wasn’t an outsider hunting for goods in the Black Market but bait intended to lure him out.

But that wasn’t right!

He had only intervened after confirming that the Black Blade people were out to kill him.

The “outsider” was definitely not from the Black Blade Organization.

But why…

Lenny’s mind was filled with confusion, struggling to comprehend where things had gone amiss.

On the other side, the members of the Black Blade Organization were equally puzzled.

They saw Lenny save the man and thought the two were accomplices.

But unexpectedly, after so much combat, that man hadn’t lifted a finger to help?

Was he scared stiff?

That was absolutely impossible!

No matter how they looked at it, the situation was strange.

Facing those uncertain elements, they opted to eliminate them proactively.

…

Soon, the acid spread over the surface of the river.

Leonard Churchill’s boat dissolved as swiftly as chocolate melts.

Held back by the boat no longer, he stood on the water’s surface using Controlling Air.

But almost the moment his feet touched the water, as if realizing something, he smacked his lips and muttered to himself, “Why can’t you just fight your own battle? Why rush to bother me…”

The power of the Fifth Tier Element Manipulator was impressive, not only did its exquisite elemental Spells force Lenny into retreat.

The manipulator himself could also transform into an elemental state to dodge damage.

From the onset, he had been dissolving into water elements hiding in the water, evading most of the puppet attacks from Lenny.

Normally, a Same Tier card master who encounters an almost physically immune elemental state would be severely troubled.

Not only could they not hit their opponent, they could scarcely even see where they were.

But looking at the water beneath him, Leonard Churchill could distinctly sense “Air.”

Although the enemy had transformed into elements, it still required Curse Power to sustain.

To Leonard Churchill, a High Tier Air Skill Master, this part of the river appeared very different from the other areas.

He was acutely aware of a flow of “Air” within the water over a few dozen square meters.

This was the elementalized enemy hiding in the water.

Even if he had been discovered, it would be difficult to strike vital areas on a body spread over dozens of square meters.

However, upon seeing this, Leonard Churchill pursed his lips, a coldness shooting from his eyes as he glanced at the water below him at the moment two arms emerged, attempting to pull him under.

“Tyrant Fist: Earth’s Roar!”

Instantly, a bizarre ripple gathered around his fist as he launched a strike downwards.

Leonard Churchill’s fist collided with the water surface.

His fist didn’t penetrate the water, instead, it turned the entire nearby expanse of the water’s surface into a mirror, against which he landed a blow.

For a split second, time seemed to pause.

The combatants in the distance sensed the sudden terrifying force that erupted.

Before they could understand what was happening,

A “crack” sound, like that of a mirror shattering, rang by their ears.

Many eyes stared as web-like cracks appeared around Leonard Churchill’s fist.

The cracks, centered on the fist, suddenly exploded outwards.

The next moment, a “boom” sounded as if a water balloon had burst, and the water within dozens of meters around exploded suddenly.

Simultaneously, something in the water seemed to burst, and the originally dark green river water was tainted with a cloud of Blood Mist.

Leonard Churchill withdrew his fist, glanced at the severely damaged enemy who was attempting to flee, but chose not to pursue.

The water droplets that exploded outwards fell back to the water with a splashing sound.

This punch had seemingly paused the nearby battle as if hitting a pause button.

The scene froze instantly.

The fighters, embroiled in a fierce battle, were instantly dumbstruck, becoming rigid as they looked over in unison.
