Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Successor

Two Spiritual Ability Killers attacked their former companion. The female assassin’s vine whip emitted a purple halo. She swung her arm, and the vine suddenly lengthened in mid-air, striking like a conscious viper, fiercely biting at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke stretched out his right hand, grabbed the vine whip, which coiled around his forearm and sprouted thorns as it grew. But the armor was not something that could be easily penetrated by plants. He pulled hard to drag the female assassin toward him.

The female assassin’s feet pressed against the ground, wrestling with Chen Ke. At the same time, she employed some secret Skill, and her body began to emit a green, disgusting viscous liquid that climbed along the vine whip onto Chen Ke’s body.

The sticky pus attached to the armor. Suddenly, Chen Ke’s entire right forearm flashed an orange light and reverted to the Holy Diamond, and the vine whip’s spikes instantly bit into his flesh.

"Hahaha! You didn’t expect that, did you! This is a brand-new Skill given to me by the consortium!" the woman laughed.

Chen Ke instantly understood. It was a Skill to remove Holy Relics armor. Although it looked disgusting, it was surprisingly effective. How marvelous!

The male assassin wasn’t idling either. He sprinted over, his large hammer emitting a purple halo, and swung furiously at Chen Ke’s upper body.

The head of the hammer was half the size of Chen Ke. At a glance, one might have mistaken it for a block of stone, but at the center of the hammer, an abnormal skull was embedded.

Chen Ke thrust the Moonlight Greatsword into the ground. He used it as a shield in front of him. The greatsword absorbed the blow of the hammer with a loud clang.

But at the moment the hammer and sword collided, two purple lights emerged from the eyes of the skull in the center of the hammer, as if it had just opened its eyes. Following the massive impact, a purple mist released from the skull, like a camera flash directed at Chen Ke. A wave of depression and fear violently poured into Chen Ke’s brain.

"This is a mental attack... this hammer! This hammer can strike at people’s emotions!" Chen Ke gasped.

His life countdown clock loudly dropped 20 hours of progress, leaving only 18 hours, all used to counter the mental impact.

Chen Ke was also startled. The physical attack power of the hammer wasn’t exaggerated compared to its size, but what was unexpected was that it was actually a magical weapon!

Had it not been for Chen Ke’s life countdown, another person would likely have had their morale shattered by this single blow.

Seeing that Chen Ke hadn’t collapsed from that hammer strike, the male assassin’s face showed an expression of disbelief.

"You’re too close to me," Chen Ke said.

A red mist, invisible to others, emanated from his body. It was his killing intent, a dense red murderous aura that invaded the mind of the male assassin at zero distance. His fierce expression also became difficult to shake off. His left hand loosened, and the hammer dropped onto his own foot.

"Ah!!! Ah!!!" The male assassin cried out strangely, resisting Chen Ke’s killing intent with his own will.

Chen Ke freed his left hand and pushed toward him. Spiritual Energy burst forth!

A flash of white light, followed by an Air Explosion out of nowhere, sent the male assassin flying over 20 meters away, and the hammer swung aside.

"Max!" the female assassin cried out, still controlling the vine whip.

Chen Ke looked at his right arm. The thorns grown from the vine whip had completely bitten into his flesh. He felt those thorns growing longer, tightly coiling around his forearm and upper arm bones. It was impossible to simply pull them out.

He made a decisive decision, picked up the Moonlight Greatsword with his left hand, moved it under his right armpit, clenched his teeth, and leaned his body to the right, amputating his own right arm.

"WTF!!!" The female assassin stared dumbfounded. She gave a strong pull and the vine whip wrapped around Chen Ke’s right arm, pulling it to herself.

In the next second, Chen Ke grew a new arm, but the sleeve on one side of his suit was torn off, leaving a half bare-shouldered jacket.

"You... monster... did you join Yasla?!" The female assassin saw Chen Ke’s arm regrow from nothing, got scared, and turned to run.

Chen Ke threw a time bomb at her. An invisible shockwave exploded within a 5-meter radius, freezing the woman’s figure in the moment she turned to run.

Chen Ke recalled all the Holy Relics, and looking at the male assassin still struggling on the ground 20 meters away, he walked up and stepped on the man’s chest. A USP pistol appeared in his hand, and he fired four shots at the man’s knees and elbows, breaking his joints.

"Yi yi yi!!!" The intense pain revived the male assassin. He howled in agony and glared fiercely at Chen Ke.

"Go to hell... you monster!" the male assassin cursed.

"You know me, so you must be from Si’s consortium, right?" Chen Ke asked.

"You’re not... the Lin Mo we know! You’re a monster!" the male assassin said.

"Where is it?" Chen Ke asked again.

"What thing? I don’t understand," the male assassin said.

Chen Ke’s right foot glinted as he donned black armor. He stomped on the male assassin’s knee, and the sound of cracking bones echoed as the man’s eyes widened in agony and he began to howl in pain.

"Damn it!!!!!! Ah!!! Fuck!!!!!" the male assassin cursed.

"You stole the diamonds, where are they?" Chen Ke asked again.

"I don’t know!" the male assassin shouted angrily.

"Alright." Chen Ke sighed, aimed at the man’s head, and fired a shot. A Divine Blood Bullet entered his forehead and exited through the back of his skull, splattering his brain and blood in a red and white viscous mix across the ground.

Chen Ke approached the female assassin; her body covered in a green, viscous fluid that continuously emerged. Up close, he noticed the liquid was not purely green but a mix of green and yellow.

With his right hand, Chen Ke grabbed the woman’s arm, cancelled the time stop, and she shivered, attempting to continue her previous action. Suddenly realizing her arm was caught, she turned and saw Chen Ke’s face, nearly stumbling in shock.

"Max! He’s caught me!" the female assassin exclaimed as she summoned her whip again, aiming to entangle Chen Ke.

Chen Ke retrieved his handgun, and a Blasphemous Dagger appeared in his left hand; he thrust it under the woman’s right arm and flung her left arm backward, then drove his knee into her abdomen.

"Cough! Oh!!" the female assassin winced in pain as her whip fell to the ground, transforming into a purple Holy Diamond.

Chen Ke pulled hard, dislocated her left forearm with a chop at her elbow joint, and a crisp crack sounded.

"Ah... cough, cough..." the female assassin fell to her knees, gritting her teeth in pain. She looked up and saw her partner’s corpse lying in front of her, her face turning pale with fright.

Chen Ke summoned the Moonlight Greatsword, resting its broad blade on the female assassin’s right shoulder, with the edge pressed against her neck. The cold blue glow reflected on her cheeks.

"You won’t kill a woman, right?" the female assassin asked nervously, her arms hanging limply on the ground.

"That depends on whether you answer my question," Chen Ke replied.

"What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything I know!" the female assassin said.

"Where is the green Holy Diamond?" Chen Ke asked.

"It’s been sent away..." she replied.

"I know that! I’m asking where they were sending it?" Chen Ke pressed.

"To the chairman, then he’ll take it back to Si’s consortium headquarters; he said Opportunity City isn’t safe," she responded.

"The chairman... Pankia?" Chen Ke inquired.

"No... Pankia was ousted; the one who replaced him is Slavin..." she explained.

"Slavin? What about the founder of Si’s consortium?" Chen Ke asked further.

"He died of illness... just a few months ago... don’t you watch the news?" she retorted.

"Enough talk, tell me where Slavin is?" Chen Ke demanded.

"He’s still in Opportunity City, at the Si’s consortium Tower on Raffi Road. He won’t leave until he gets his hands on the Holy Diamond. The operation is very important to Slavin... Ah... it hurts..." the female assassin sighed.

"Good..." Chen Ke said, recalling the Moonlight Greatsword.

"Can I go now...?" the female assassin asked.

"No! Bitch!" Lucina suddenly yelled.

With a bang, a shotgun pressed against the female assassin’s forehead fired. A number 12 deer bullet sprayed her face with small steel balls, skewing her facial features, and her left temple exploded into a gaping hole.

The female assassin’s body leaned to the right and slid across the ground before coming to a stop.

"Fuck!!!!!! What are you doing?" Chen Ke shouted angrily.

Lucina’s face was grimy, her body covered in grease and sweat, with a small burn on her shoulder, and she was holding a Hainerd shotgun, while Hall rested on the ground behind her.

"Lu..." Chen Ke began, hesitating.

"Where’s that idiot Priskin?" Lucina said, seeming to ask Chen Ke while also talking to herself.
