Chapter 5
Slaying Bai Yang
First you hear their voice, but never see them.
Lin Chen immediately felt a strong water elemental force suddenly converging towards the direction where Agumon was located.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Under Lin Chen's watchful gaze, he was surprised to find that a colossal wave had appeared in mid-air above Agumon's head, ready to crash down on it at any moment.
"Agumon, get out of the way!" Lin Chen shouted, quickly reminding him.
Agumon stomped its legs on the ground, its entire body shooting to the side like a cannonball, barely dodging the attack of the waves.
In a flash, Lin Chen clearly saw the surging waves descend from the sky, crashing heavily onto Yu Ang's already decapitated corpse, making his body even more mangled.
However, the surging waves seemed to have a navigation system; after hitting Yu'ang's corpse, they changed direction and rushed towards Agumon's location.
Agumon dodged desperately, but the surging waves, though their power slightly diminished, did not give up their pursuit of Agumon.
Seeing that it couldn't shake off the waves behind it, Agumon suddenly accelerated forward a distance, increasing the distance between itself and the waves, and then turned to face the waves.
A ball of fiery red energy rapidly grew in Agumon's mouth, becoming incredibly frenzied.
"Small-scale explosion!"
Just as the waves were about to crash into Agumon, Agumon unleashed a powerful burst of flame that struck the waves with immense energy.
With a boom, flames collided with the waves, generating a large amount of steam that instantly enveloped the entire street.
As the steam dissipated, Agumon returned to Lin Chen's side, and the hook-nosed man reappeared where Yu Ang's corpse had been.
"They actually blocked it!" The hook-nosed man glanced at Yu Ang's corpse, then looked at Lin Chen with a grim expression: "I told you to stop, did you hear me?"
"I heard you, but the people of the Black Church must die." Lin Chen did not show the slightest weakness just because the person in front of him was a mid-level mage.
"I'm also from the Black Vatican, so I have to die too?" The hook-nosed man sneered, and a light blue light emanated from his side.
"That's right." Lin Chen nodded.
"Where are you and Yu'ang? Why haven't you rejoined yet? We have a new mission to assign!" Just as the hook-nosed man was about to make his move, a shout came through the earpiece.
"Yu Ang has been killed, and I'm preparing to avenge him!" the hook-nosed man replied.
"That good-for-nothing Yu'ang almost ruined Lord Salang's plan. He deserved to die. Hurry up and come over when you're done. The steward is a little unhappy," the voice in the earpiece said.
The hook-nosed man glanced at Agumon, recalling how it had stopped the raging storm earlier, and realized that Lin Chen and the others were not easy to deal with. In addition, he heard from the other end of the earpiece that the butler was somewhat unhappy, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Kid, I'll let you go this time, but don't let me run into you again." The hook-nosed man uttered a harsh threat, grabbed Yu Ang's mangled corpse, and disappeared into the alley. "I'm coming!"
After the hook-nosed man left, Ye Xinxia's heart immediately relaxed, and Lin Chen and Agumon also withdrew their imposing aura.
It's best for a mid-level mage not to face this rashly right now.
……
"We're almost there. See that barrier light screen that stands as tall as a city wall? That's the safety barrier." Lin Chen bent down and explained to Ye Xinxia, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"There are only a few hundred meters left. I hope we won't encounter any more demons," Ye Xinxia prayed, her hands clasped tightly together.
"There are demons there!" Agumon suddenly exclaimed.
Lin Chen and Ye Xinxia followed Agumon's gaze and saw a dark blue wolf-like creature walking on a bridge leading to the safety barrier, with a human sitting on its back.
"That's not a demon, that's a summoned beast," Ye Xinxia explained to Agumon with a slight smile.
As soon as Ye Xinxia finished speaking, Lin Chen saw a group of nine people walking towards the bridge from another direction.
Bridge! Nine people! Wolf-shaped summoned beast! Summoner!
This is Bai Yang, Mo Fan, and the others!
As he gazed at the scene before him, memories flashed through Lin Chen's mind like a revolving lantern.
"The timeline doesn't match up. Could it be that my arrival has caused a slight difference in the timeline?" Lin Chen muttered to himself.
"What is Lin Chen saying? What doesn't make sense?" Ye Xinxia blinked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing," Lin Chen chuckled. "There are humans ahead too, let's follow them and see."
Lin Chen didn't say much. He pushed the wheelchair and, with Agumon in tow, chased after Mo Fan and his group of nine.
……
"Then go die!"
As soon as Bai Yang finished speaking, the Ghost Wolf Beast raised its sharp claws high and slammed them directly towards Mo Fan's forehead.
"Mo Fan!" Zhou Min exclaimed in surprise!
"Instructor Bai, what are you doing!" Xue Musheng roared.
Just as the Shadow Wolf's claws were about to strike, a sturdy ancient scythe shield appeared in front of Mo Fan, intercepting the Shadow Wolf's attack and sending Mo Fan flying several meters away.
"You bastards from the Black Vatican!" Mo Fan cursed as he got up from the ground.
"I never expected you to doubt me! I'm your instructor!" Bai Yang laughed, his face showing madness.
"Be careful, he has more than one summoned beast!" Mo Fan shouted hurriedly, realizing something.
But time was running out. Two dark figures darted out from the shadows of the bridge railing, raising their sharp, sickle-like forelimbs to attack Zhang Xiaohou and He Yu respectively.
"Monkey!" Mo Fan's heart pounded violently as he desperately tried to control Xingzi to save Zhang Xiaohou.
Is this how I'm going to die?
Zhang Xiaohou closed his eyes, unable to believe it.
Just then, two flames swept past behind Mo Fan and his group of nine, striking the two black beast demons with pinpoint accuracy.
"Bang!"
A sharp pain shot through Zhang Xiaohou's body.
Zhang Xiaohou felt a little strange. Why did those sharp claws cut him like he was hit by something? Why was he so heavy? Was something pressing down on him?
Zhang Xiaohou opened his eyes with some confusion. He found that the black beast that had attacked him and He Yu had been blasted away by some force and crashed heavily to the ground, while He Yu was lying on top of him.
"He Yu!"
Zhang Xiaohou seemed to have thought of something, and let out a painful roar.
"I...I'm fine, it seems like someone saved us." He Yu's face was slightly flushed as she quickly climbed off Zhang Xiaohou.
"Thank goodness! We arrived just in time, and a tragedy didn't happen." A voice came from behind the group.
The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange young man pushing an extremely beautiful woman towards them, followed by a summoned beast they had never seen before.
"Xin...Xinxia!" Mo Fan was overjoyed to see Ye Xinxia suddenly appear, but then immediately realized the situation and shouted to Lin Chen, "Brother, it's dangerous here! Take Xinxia away quickly!"
"Danger? Watch me, Agumon, go!"
To everyone's astonishment, Agumon transformed into a black shadow, swept past them, knocked the Dark Wolf Beast away with one claw, and then cleaved off Bai Yang's head with another.
