Chapter 2485: Chapter 2488: So It Was the Dark Church

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

Soon, several figures darted in from outside the dense forest, arriving beside Gui Ying.

"Deputy Leader!"

Pang Tong and the others bowed respectfully to Gui Ying, then turned to glance at the figure writhing on the ground, exclaiming in surprise, "Jin Hu?"

"You know him?"

Gui Ying gave Pang Tong a faint look.

Pang Tong felt a chill in his heart and quickly replied, "He’s the leader of a small adventurer group. I just ran into him a week ago."

"A week? Do you know where the people with him are?"

Gui Ying asked indifferently.

"I do, they are in the Valley of Undead. I came from there!"

Pang Tong nodded lightly.

At first, Pang Tong and Chen Rui had the same idea of waiting until the end to act, but didn’t expect Lu Xian to arrive with his group, and they hadn’t clashed with Chen Rui’s group, so he had to retreat.

Upon hearing that people from Lei Yang Village mentioned Gui Ying was here, he came over.

"Didn’t you receive the news?"

An icy chill appeared in Gui Ying’s eyes.

Pang Tong shivered, hastily saying, "What news? Deputy Leader, I’ve been in the Valley of Undead all week preparing to ambush Yan Li and his men; I haven’t returned to the trade town. Did I miss something?"

"Yan Li, Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Yun Hai, and this Jin Hu! The five of them killed Lei Ying, Lei Bao, and Lei Xiong, the three leaders. The village leader is furious and issued a bounty order: whoever kills them becomes the new warrior of Lei Yang Village. If it’s someone from the village, they get rewarded with a Semi-Saint Necro Sphere!"

Gui Ying spoke coldly.

"What? They killed..."

Pang Tong’s face changed drastically, his heart trembled fiercely. He knew the Lei brothers were Lei Yan’s sons, and losing three sons at once, he could fully imagine how furious Lei Yan must be now!

"Where are they now?"

Gui Ying asked again.

"When I left, they were about to leave the Valley of Undead. By now..."

Pang Tong quickly responded, feeling some regret for not leaving someone to watch over Jiang Chen and his group.

"No need to say, they’re here!"

Gui Ying spoke quietly, turning to look behind, his eyes showing a chilling coldness.

Pang Tong, following Gui Ying’s gaze, looked over.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

Hundreds of figures leaped out from the dense forest, appearing in Gui Ying and the others’ sight.

Glancing at Lu Xian and the others, Gui Ying frowned slightly.

"Jin Hu!"

Seeing Jin Hu on the ground, Jiang Chen exclaimed, his figure flashing towards Jin Hu.

Swoosh!

A black divine light shone, and Gui Ying grabbed at Jiang Chen from the air.

Buzz!

The space trembled, a large dark hand appeared above Jiang Chen’s head and clutched downward.

"Roaring Thunder Palm!"

A loud shout rang out, lightning burst forth, and a huge palm composed of Thunderous Force fiercely struck the dark hand.

Bang!

A sonic boom sounded, both palms exploded simultaneously, a violent Qi Force spread out, and in an instant, an area of tens of meters was covered by black fog and thunder light, causing the surrounding people to retreat in alarm.

Whoosh!

A figure rushed out from the black fog, instantly arriving beside Jin Hu, supporting him up.

"Jin Hu, how are you?"

Jiang Chen frowned deeply, asking in a deep voice, while unleashing a stream of Spiritual Power into Jin Hu’s body to check his injuries.

"Kill me! Brother Jiang Chen, kill me, he’s tearing apart my Divine Infant!"

Jin Hu’s eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted to the extreme, tightly clutching Jiang Chen’s arm, crying hoarsely.

"Kill him!"

At this moment, Gui Ying commanded coldly, his figure flashing towards Jiang Chen.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

Yan Hu, Yun Hai, and Yan Li leaped out from the crowd, standing in front of Jiang Chen, while Lu Xian’s gaze shifted slightly, swiftly leaping in front of Gui Ying, and the rest of Wind Thunder Valley completely surrounded Pang Tong and his group.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to Gui Ying and the others. His eyes turned cold upon hearing, the center of his brow shining with a Bloody Radiance, shooting into Jin Hu’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Suppress it!"

Jiang Chen’s face showed a severe expression, shouting lowly.

In Jin Hu’s Sea of Consciousness.

The Bloody Radiance burst out, enveloping Jin Hu’s Divine Infant, a large character ’Suppress’ emerged from the Bloody Radiance, penetrating into Jin Hu’s Divine Infant.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Jin Hu’s entire body stiffened suddenly, then instantly relaxed, breathing heavily.

"Quite impressive."

Gui Ying looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, although he had only used a third of his power, that Dark Soul Devouring was a secret technique of his race; he was confident even those of the same realm would find it difficult to crack, yet didn’t expect Jiang Chen to directly suppress the black fog in Jin Hu’s Sea of Consciousness.

Ignoring Gui Ying, Jiang Chen’s brow illuminated with a bright Bloody Radiance, surging into Jin Hu’s Sea of Consciousness.

Soon, a bloody light ball wrapped in thick black fog flew out from Jin Hu’s brow.

Dark Church!?

Perceiving a unique fluctuation within the black fog, Jiang Chen’s expression abruptly changed, seizing the golden light ball in his hand.

Whoosh!

Jin Hu exhaled a long breath, slumping unconscious.

Leaning Jin Hu against a tree, Jiang Chen grasped the bloody light ball, stood up, and turned to Gui Ying: "You’re from the Dark Church?"

"Dark Church?"

Yan Hu’s eyes widened sharply, showing a look of shock, then filled with killing intent as he stared at Gui Ying.

"Dark Church? What kind of force is that?"

Yan Li and the others looked at Jiang Chen in confusion; they had stayed on this Abandoned Plains for years, utterly unaware of other forces on different continents.

"Dark Church? I think I’ve heard of it somewhere."

Yun Hai furrowed his brows, seemingly recalling something but couldn’t quite remember.

"Oh?"

Gui Ying showed a surprised expression again, lightly furrowing his brows and glanced deeply at Jiang Chen, a flash of insight hit him, exclaiming, "Jiang Chen! Yan Hu! Are you two Jiang Chen and Yan Hu from Life Origin Star?"

"Life Origin Star?"

"They’re from Life Origin Star?"

Yan Li and others were shocked, gazing at Jiang Chen and Yan Hu in astonishment.

"You must die!"

Jiang Chen spoke coldly without further ado, coldly looking at Gui Ying as he crushed the bloody light ball in his hand.

The bloody glow spread out, a surge of Blood Fiend Force emerged, wiping out the black fog completely!

Swoosh!

A treasure Longsword appeared in his hand, streaks of Great Dao Divine Light crazily infused into the Longsword, Jiang Chen’s eyes glared icily at Gui Ying, openly displaying his murderous intent.

Crackle!

Yan Hu surged with Thunderous Force, elevating his aura to the extreme; a huge thunder palm shadow appeared above his head, his tiger eyes filled with bloodthirsty glint, firmly locking onto Gui Ying.

Gui Ying glanced at Jiang Chen and Yan Hu, then turned to Lu Xian: "Lu Xian, does your Wind Thunder Valley intend to go to war with my Lei Yang Village?"
