Chapter 1372: Chapter 1370: Deep Underground

[Craftsman], [Criminal], [Dragon], [Program]

These are the four worlds currently known to have launched attacks on London City, corresponding to the attributes above.

To distinguish between good and evil, [Craftsman] leans towards good, [Criminal] towards evil, while [Dragon] and [Program] tend towards neutrality.

Beheading King, as a Criminal.

Having killed countless lives, she has long been entwined with sins… However, as a being of the Guilt World, she can harness the sins bestowed by Guilt World, transforming them into part of her own power.

Han Dong, peeking from upstairs, also took the opportunity of Beheading King drawing her sword to discern her true nature.

Body as the sheath, head as the sword.

The body that serves as the knife sheath also acts as a container accumulating sins.

Han Dong understood well. Being two major ranks apart, it was very difficult, if not impossible, to break the Beheading King’s body’s defense; even a surprise attack would hardly cause substantial damage.

Thus, Han Dong shifted the target of the attack towards the ‘knife sheath’.

Focused on the knife sheath’s mouth, which was undefended–the [Neck].

Taking advantage of Green drawing maximum attention, disturbing Beheading King’s composure, and the Nether Blood regeneration granted by the Count.

When all conditions were met.

A Holy Sword of equivalent grade was drawn, thrusting into the body through the sheath’s mouth.

The origin of the “Holy Sword” remains unknown; all that is known is that it might be related to the Holy Level World where [Craftsman] resides, and it is a kind of blade that transcends ordinary understanding in vanquishing evil… it could even curse its holder for not regularly killing evil beings.

Whoosh!

When the Holy Sword was thrust into Beheading King’s body, it immediately reacted strongly with the sins swirling within her.

“Ah!!”

A sensation of nerves being burnt and severed surged over.

The agonized screams of Beheading King echoed through the current space, while her body in the form of ‘Flowing Light Orthodox Sect’ fell into a bizarre state, with intense sins continuously overflowing from the blade.

[Danger]

At this moment, both Han Dong and the Count sensed death closing in.

Objective achieved, retreat!

The Holy Sword was withdrawn.

The Count, through deep control of the blood and combined with the ultra-rapid adaptability of the Black Whirlpool body, directly transformed into a Bloodhound of equivalent size and rushed downwards at the highest speed.

The second after leaving the current laboratory.

Buzz!

Thousands of ultra-high frequency space chops directly sculpted the laboratory into a spherical shape.

Beheading King floated in the air in an extremely twisted posture, surrounded with thick Sinuous Threads… her state of mind had completely shifted by now.

Contrary to the initial peaceful artistic conception focused on beheading enemies, the current Beheading King had become extremely irritable.

Being injured was one reason.

The main reason was that as [The King], she was injured by a mere novice who was ‘Opening the gate’.

This was not just a matter of being injured; it was a disgrace, a disgrace that would be engraved in Beheading King’s whole life, and it might even disturb her wisdom during critical moments of realization, evolving into an Inner Demon that hinders cultivation.

Her future prospects would be affected.

“I will slash your souls into threads and take them to the Heart of Sin, where you will endure the most painful redemption forever and ever.”

With one chop, she cut open the metal layers between floors, locking onto Han Dong, who was fleeing, and chased after him at full speed.

…

“Nicholas! I can feel a very distinct killing intent locked on us, that guy is coming after us… do you want to take over the body, I kinda want to piss.”

“Hmm, give it to me! But we need to continue maintaining the Bloodhound form.

The current speed is very good!”

Alternation of primary and secondary roles.

As Han Dong resumes control of the Body, he uses a bloodstained Tentacle to pierce into the hole at the shoulder cavity.

“Green, can you hear me? Leave the rest to me… So far, the plan has been proceeding smoothly. It should succeed, so there’s no need for you to worry anymore, just rest well.”

Han Dong thought that Green would intervene no matter what… but the response he received next was somewhat surprising.

“Cough cough, well… I’ll be waiting for your good news. I need to rest a bit, my Body is hurting quite badly.”

The voice from Green was clearly off, with a tone of ‘forcing oneself’… It was the first time Han Dong had seen such a concession from him.

“Okay.”

In the deepest part of the Mad Abyss.

The soul of Green, full of injuries, is nurtured within a cluster of chaotic Mist.

The pressure from facing the King was immense, almost crushing Green… His Soul had suffered more than [30] Chop strikes, any deeper and Green would have been in life-threatening danger.

If not for his belief that Han Dong would come to his aid, he might have already collapsed.

It proved that everything was worth it.

…

The Scarlet Hunting Dog is running swiftly.

Han Dong focuses solely on running, without thinking of creating obstacles, such as destroying pillars or using Mad Laugh to control infected Zombies to assist.

Obstacles would have no effect in front of the Beheading King and might even waste Han Dong’s time.

Han Dong’s mind is imprinted with a clear route map.

Heading deeper without taking any detours… yet the threat of Chop strikes behind him doesn’t lessen, and he can even clearly hear the sound of metal being chopped.

“Zzz… Boss, can you hear me? I am communicating with you through the brain wireless device,” the voice of the robot Little Yellow suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Yes, what’s up?”

“I’ve tested the device a full five times and entered the data of the Beheading King from your recent fight into it, adjusting it to the state most suitable for restraining the target.

According to the parameters obtained from the simulation, it ensures foolproof outcome.

Boss, please lure the Beheading King to the designated position as accurately as possible, the more precise, the better the effect!”

“Okay.”

“Boss, once the restriction device is activated, everything in the area will be sealed off, how will you escape?”

“You just take care of activating the device, I have my own way… Remember! There’s only one chance, any mistake, and we will all die here.”

“Understood, Boss! I have adjusted the error feedback to the minimum, there will be no problems, you must escape, Boss.”

Conversation ended.

Han Dong transforms from Bloodhound into Human Form, standing at an elevator entrance hidden at the end of a secret passage in the Organic Research Institute.

The elevator will carry Han Dong directly to the [Restricted Area] a hundred meters below.

“Taking the elevator would get me caught up by the Beheading King… this is the only way.”

Without the support of Maritzis.

Han Dong places two fingers on his brow, constructing an Inverted triangle mark symbolizing the Void… at the cost of depleting all his Space Energy, performing hundreds of meters of Void Teleportation, which means Han Dong will be drained of energy, unable to perform any form of Spatial Transfer before the battle ends.

Buzz!

The moment Han Dong disappears in a flash of starlight.

Three different depths of Chop strikes appear in the air, a second’s delay in making the decision or taking the elevator would result in Execution.

The next second.

Han Dong appears in a cylindrical Secret Room… Snap!

With the device not fully activated yet, a hundredfold Gravity takes effect… forcing Han Dong to kneel on one knee, even resulting in a direct comminuted fracture of the kneecap.
