My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 773 - 397: Day of Vengeance, The Fury of the Brigade

"How can this be..." Zhou Jiuya watched the scene unfold, his face aghast.

But ultimately, it was a bullet shot from afar that completely ended the protection of "Wordless Zhou."

"Bang——!" Andrew's bullet flew in like a meteor, crashing into the center of the barrier. The crack expanded infinitely at that moment, finally causing the entire barrier to shatter like broken white jade.

Zhou Jiuya's bracelet shattered at this moment, and he staggered backward.

Empress gripped the hilt of the Water Flow Blade, transforming into a stream, rushing towards Zhou Jiuya amidst the torrential rain.

In an instant, the Water Flow Blade pierced through Zhou Jiuya's body, and blood gushed out.

Xia Pingzhou silently watched Zhou Jiuya.

Empress raised her sword and brought it down, twisting the handle in her hand. The water tore Zhou Jiuya's internal organs apart, opening a gaping hole inside him—a terrifying void through which one could even glimpse the scene on the street beyond.

The next moment, she pulled out the Water Flow Blade, with icy flames burning in her eyes.

Zhou Jiuya stood frozen in place, wanting to cover the gaping hole in his body but not knowing where to place his hands.

In the very end, he seemed to come to his senses from the Spiritual Control, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and slowly raised his eyes to look forward, as if searching for someone.

But at that moment, another bullet shot through, piercing his skull.

With a thud, he fell to the ground, a splash of bloody water bursting forth.

Zhou Jiuya slowly turned his head to look at Zhong Wujiu, who was still locked in a standoff with the group at a distance, and then at the unconscious Lin Xingshi.

The pouring rain fell on him, washing over his pale face. His lips moved slightly, as if he were saying something to Lin Xingshi.

But the weak voice was drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Zhou Jiuya died.

At the same time, a black-and-white system prompt popped up in front of Xia Pingzhou.

[Successfully completed Main Quest One (Phase Five) before the deadline: Accompany the White Crow Travel Brigade to kill any member of the world's number one exorcist organization, "Lake Hunting."]

[Mission rewards earned: 2 attribute points, 2 skill points, 3 split points]

[Note: Main Quest One has ended completely.]

[Currently, only one task remains incomplete for Unit Two: Main Quest 2 (Final Stage) — Infiltrate the White Crow Travel Brigade and kill "Jack the Ripper."]

[Complete the final task to achieve "Body Graduation."]

Xia Pingzhou glanced at the task deadline on his panel.

September 1st.

Less than a week remains in the countdown.

But he knew that he no longer had a week left, as Ryukawa Chiba had already discovered that he was the mole. He must make his decision with the brigade within the next two days.

At this moment, a crow flew through the torrential rain, flapping its wings as it approached.

The figure of Urushibara Osamu appeared among the falling crow feathers. He picked up a playing card from between his fingers and threw it down, the card piercing into Zhou Jiuya's shoulder.

On the face of the card, there was a vividly colored clown.

[Joker: When you pierce the corpse of an exorcist with this playing card, steal the enemy's celestial driver for your own use (can only steal one person's celestial driver at most).]

Thus, Zhou Jiuya's ancient compass instantly appeared in Urushibara Osamu's hand. He grasped the compass in his palm, and before long, the compass, containing countless precious antiques, disappeared.

Xia Pingzhou watched this scene, lost in thought.

"In this way, the part of Lake Hunting's combat power we were missing is now supplemented by the brigade," he thought. "In the end, you will all serve my purposes. Since you now have Zhou Jiuya's ancient compass, I hope you can be of some use in the battle against the Salvation Society, Captain."

With that thought, he glanced distantly at Zhong Wujiu, who was now unable to rise under the onslaught. His body, covered in blood, was clad in a spiny armor.

With this stalemate, it was only a matter of time before the other brigade members took down Zhong Wujiu.

"They've got Zhong Wujiu, but two aren't enough, still not enough..." Andrew came over, panting heavily. "Should I also slaughter Lin Xingshi, Captain?"

He said as he raised his sniper rifle, aiming at the unconscious Lin Xingshi in the pool of blood, her eyes closed, her face pale, and a lock of fiery red hair strewn beside her.

"Go ahead." Urushibara Osamu said.

But just at that moment, a rumble like thunder suddenly erupted from the sky, drawing everyone's attention. It was a huge Taichi formation unfolding among the clouds.

"Boom!"

Black and white radiance converged into a circle, spinning in the sky, and even the torrential rain was blocked at this moment.

Next, flaming bird feathers descended in profusion, burning away the dampness of the world.

The members of the White Crow Travel Brigade retreated one after another, along with the Bloodline and Yanmo Lin, who were battling Zhong Wujiu, also stepping back.

Soon, as the fire feathers dispersed, the figures of Zhong Wujiu and Lin Xingshi were carried on the back of an earthen dragon, heading towards an uninvited guest's figure.

"You bunch of... bastards, you actually, actually made the old crow..." Zhuge Hui rushed in furiously from the end of the long street, clutching his folded fan.

He bent down, holding Zhou Jiuya's corpse, and glanced at the unconscious Lin Xingshi and Zhong Wujiu.

Ayase Origami and Xia Pingzhou remained silent.

"Oh, reinforcements have arrived." Bloodline smiled slightly, "I was wondering where he went."
