Chapter 681: Chapter 671: Decree, Charge, Chrysanthemum

That forceful statement, once made, caused the countless energy bats circling the sky to fall to the ground like kites with their strings cut, then reconvening into the form of Illiyat.

Illiyat looked at the slightly bald man with apprehension. He didn’t understand what kind of strength it was that could prevent him from flying with just a single sentence.

However, apart from Illiyat, there was another person still in the air.

With a strange cry, Xun Qing and his flashy flying sword fell to the ground, nearly crushing his buttocks, and he looked at the bald superpower user with a resentful expression, asking, "Can’t your Decree target just one person?"

The bald man shook his head innocently. His power was indeed enormous, but with great power also came significant restrictions, preventing him from using it at will, so normally he took pleasure in raising gigantic bears.

Wen Wen and the others watching the battle couldn’t help but laugh stealthily; Xun Qing truly had it coming. Who asked him to always stand on his flying sword, pretending to be a sage from another world?

Once Illiyat was incapacitated from flying, George shielded his chest with his shield, radiating with a thread of golden light, and charged relentlessly towards Illiyat.

The strength contained in that shield was beyond Wen Wen’s imagination. Among the strength levels below Catastrophe that Wen Wen had seen, perhaps only Monkey Jaw Thunder could surpass this charge.

Restricted by the Decree, Illiyat found it difficult to move and could only release a red whip from each hand, lashing at the advancing George with a super-fast frequency, creating two huge red storms.

However, all this seemed too fragile in front of George’s charge, and ultimately Illiyat was struck by the shield. After a loud boom, he was sent flying hundreds of meters, smashing through numerous buildings along the way.

In a pile of ruins, Illiyat staggered to his feet. After that hit, his body was almost beyond recognition, with nearly all bodily functions having ceased.

Grinding his teeth, he cursed and shut his eyes. A strange aura emanated from him, and the next moment, a blurry face flashed across his own. Shortly afterward, Illiyat immediately returned to his original appearance, as if the previously shattered body hadn’t belonged to him.

After recovering, Illiyat turned and ran, transforming into a red comet and disappearing from everyone’s sight within moments.

George frowned. Among all the True-order Masters he had encountered, none could withstand his impact head-on—not even this vampire elder. But why had he recovered instantly as if he hadn’t been hurt at all?

Nevertheless, George didn’t ponder too long and quickly pursued him. The most pressing matter now was to ensure that Illiyat remained here, as any half-second delay could lead to losing that chance.

Illiyat raced on with a grave expression; his ability, hidden for a century, had finally been activated today.

Telling Wen Wen and the others about the Red Moon Domain indeed had an element of showing off before them, but more so, it served to deceive the enemy and prevent them from noticing his real trump card.

The ability of the Red Moon Domain was too conspicuous; once used, it couldn’t be concealed again, so every time he fought with someone, he would deliberately reveal his ability. That way, his real enemies would focus on the Red Moon Domain and overlook his second Cataclysmic Trait!

Yes, Illiyat had a second Cataclysmic Trait called ’River of the Dead’.

The River of the Dead was also an ability of the Blood Emperor. All those killed by the Blood Emperor had their life force imprisoned within his body, and each dead person could substitute for the Blood Emperor’s death once, allowing him to call upon all the dead to aid him against his enemies when necessary.

Illiyat’s River of the Dead wasn’t as powerful as that of the Blood Emperor, able to imprison only a few people’s life force, but the life force of these few was enough to give him an almost indestructible body in the battles within the True Order Realm.

Because every life meant Illiyat could die thoroughly and then resurrect once, which was perhaps even more perverted than Ais Wakaz’s Catastrophe Level life force.

However, as Illiyat was running, he suddenly fell into a pitch-dark darkness where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, and then felt a sudden pain in his lower back. When he turned around, he saw a samurai sword with a chrysanthemum pattern embedded in it, stabbed into his body.

Afterward, the darkness around him gradually dissipated, and Illiyat saw a man in a black ninja suit standing in front of him, bowing slightly to him.

"Hello, nice to meet you for the first time. I am a Demon Hunter from the Sakura District, you can call me Kikujuro."

Illiyat casually pulled out the sword and threw it to the ground, the deep wound healing in the blink of an eye, "What is the point of such a mild attack, it can’t even kill an ordinary member of the Blood Clan."

While Illiyat was being blocked by Kikujuro, the other four True Order Masters had already arrived and surrounded him again. However, Illiyat wasn’t very panicked. Now that he no longer needed to hide his second ability, the remaining few lives should be enough to allow him to escape.

Kikujuro smiled shyly and said, "I didn’t really expect this sword to kill you, as I don’t have a stronger move than George’s... but who says mild attacks can’t kill someone?"

Illiyat, who had a sensitive sense of taste, suddenly smelled a refreshing scent of chrysanthemums, which seemed to be coming from his own body, strangely enough.

He looked back in shock to discover that the spot where the small knife had stabbed him was now sprouting a delicate branch that bore clusters of chrysanthemum buds, and the scent was emanating from these buds!

Illiyat hurriedly reached to pluck the branch, but after trying, he gave up the idea because this branch was connected to his soul. If he forcefully removed it, it would take his soul out with it!

Seeing Illiyat’s actions, Kikujuro smiled and said, "Sir, please don’t struggle, it will continue to drain your strength until the stem grows as thick as a big tree, and all the chrysanthemums will bloom, and when all the chrysanthemums are in bloom, that is when you will die."

"Besides, it is absolutely impossible to remove this flower by normal means, and if you were facing only me, you might have had a chance to escape, but now you’re not just facing me."

Just as Kikujuro finished speaking, a purple greatsword fell from the sky, directly chopping Illiyat in two.

Following that, the five True-order Masters took synchronized actions against Illiyat, using various moves in succession, turning Illiyat’s body into a mangled mess in an instant.
