The Messenger of Death

Chapter 282: crisis in the capital city iv

"You are a devil amongst devils." Shi Li said to Camron.

"I'm a devil? I'm not the one out here killing children and the innocents." Camron retorted.

"Shut up!! I am doing this to better the world. They were all sinners that have wrong Buddha, they don't deserve to live!!" Shi Li bit into his fingers and was about to begin inscribing.

"Oh no, you don't." Camron charged at Shi Li immediately.

"Ahhh!! Stay away from me!!" Shi Li jumped back when he saw Camron approaching him.

Camron chased after Shi Li and Shi Li continued to put a distance between the two of them. It looked like they playing a game of tag.

''This crazy monk is good at running away, I need to catch up to him and this quickly. Emma can't deal with that woman with the bandages on her own.'

Shi Li threw his staff at Camron before looking in the direction that Alex and Saram headed to.

"I can't sense Saram's life force anymore." He muttered to himself with his eyes opened wide.

Camron dodged the staff that was thrown at him and continued heading for Shi Li. While he had been moving around, Camron felt as if there were extensions of his body that he couldn't quite control.

Weirdly he could tell where people were without using looking at them or using his QI to sense them. It was as if their shadows spoke to him.

He felt as if he could grab Shi Li at any moment, even if he wasn't within the range of his hands.

"Saram!!" Shi Li cried out. "I will avenge you!"

His cries caught the attention of everyone, especially that of colleagues.

"I didn't think that kid could take care of Saram." Desire frowned as she felt an ominous feeling run down her spine.

Shi Li was about to head in the direction of where Saram and Alex were but he felt as of something was holding on to his legs.

When he looked down, he saw that his shadow didn't look like what it was supposed to look like. It had turned into a vine that wrapped his legs.

This shocked him because he couldn't sense or tell when it happened.

Camron had a wide smile on his face.

'I finally figured out how to control it… I think.'

Shi Li stretched a handout and his staff that had fallen to the ground after Camron dodged it, flew to its owner. Shi Li held his staff in his hands and used it to hit the shadow that had wrapped around him.

-Thud!!

The staff struck the shadow but nothing happened.

Shi Li hit it again, as hard as he could, creating a crater below the shadow. But unfortunately for Shi Li, the shadow didn't break.

His mind was clouded by the thought of Saram, whom he couldn't feel his life force anymore.

Shi Li ignoring his opponent, Camron.

Camron, feeling excited about his newfound ability, charged at the now trapped Shi Li.

By the time Shi Li noticed that Camron was closing in at him, his doom was already at bay.

"Nooo!!" Shi Li bellowed as he made desperate attempts to make a defensive inscription.

-Slash!!

Camron's sword cut through Shi Li diagonally, dividing his upper body into 2. Blood splattered out from Shi Li's mouth as his upper body detached from the lower.

"I…will not go down alone!!" Shi Li bit his tongue spat blood out on the ground. He was planning to use his last resort, self-destruction.

"Amitabha!!!!! Bless me, oh Buddha." A white light covered Shi Li's body and QI within 3km began moving towards Shi Li.

"Take cover!!" Camron warned as he ran to safety.

Everyone, including the members of the syndicate, ran for cover.

Drake placed his hands on the ground, and Emma who was closer to him, placed hers on his shoulders, transferring pure QI into Drake.

A huge and thick wall grew from the ground and shielded the two of them…

Alex arrived just after everyone had taken cover. Immediately he noticed that the QI around was gathering at one point and contracting there.

When he glanced in the direction where the QI was heading, he got an idea of what was about to happen.

Alex activated his fire bloodline once again and covered the silver spear with his flames and tried to make the fire contract on the spear as fast as he could until it turned red.

At the moment the silver spear was so hot that if it fell to the ground, it will melt through

When he felt that the spear couldn't get any hotter, Alex threw the spear at Shi Li.

-Boom!!!

Before Shi Li's exploding, the flying spear landed on his head, causing the QI that had been gathering around to synergize with Alex's flames and burn.

The shock wave of the imploding contracted QI from Shi Li, burning under Alex's flames, destroyed most of the buildings around.

The side where Shi Li's ashes laid had turned into a charred pit…

['That was a close one.'] Xander sighed.

['Camron dealt with him… easily.'] Alex thought as he recalled the way a shadow wrapped around Shi Li's legs.

['His powers are manifesting, he has a bigger advantage over those in the same cultivation realm.'] Lex added…

"Aarrghh!!!" Suddenly Alex felt as if his head was about to explode.

['What's wrong Alex?'] Xander questioned.

A high frequency of sound that was barely audible and yet destructive. This sound was coming from Desire.

She had watched as Alex stopped Shi Li from exploding and concluded that he was the most dangerous there.

Therefore Alex had to be eliminated first.

Alex used his hands to cover his ears as he attempted to find where the sound was coming from. But he couldn't see properly because the sound was messing with his senses.

"Alex!!" Adrian called out when saw Alex cry out in pain.

He then looked at Desire and saw that she had removed a part of the tape on her neck, and sitting on her neck blatantly was a mouth.

Lips, teeth, and tongue but on her neck. This surprised Adrian and stunned him for few seconds.

Adrian could tell that a high sound frequency was being produced by that mouth on Desire's neck and it was only affecting Alex.

*Detecting a high frequency of sound that is dangerous to the user's ears. Initiating protective measures.

Alex felt the needles on the skin crawler by his ears vibrate and pierce deeper into his ears. Slowly the pain coming from his ears subsided, but he couldn't hear a thing — not even the sound of him breathing in air.

Alex expelled foul breath from his mouth before looking at Desire like a crazed person. He was furious.

"Milo!!" Alex called out and in seconds, a humanoid Milo appeared beside him.

"Kill her," Alex commanded.

Obeying Alex's order Milo was about to charge at Desire, however, he sensed that Alex was in danger.

Milo appeared before Alex.

-Boom!!

A strong gush of wind blew and pushed Alex yards away. The attack actually came in the form of a wind blade, but after Milo blocked the wind blade all that was left was a strong wind.

This attack caused dust to rise, blinding everyone momentarily.

By the time dust settled, the members of the syndicate had disappeared, they fled the scene.

Alex was startled, he wasn't expecting an attack like that.

['Are you alright?'] Lex asked.

['Yeah, thanks to Milo. That attack might have detached my stomach from my waist.']

['It definitely came from someone in a cultivation realm higher than yours.'] Xander concluded.

['I think so too, even after Milo stood in front to block the attack, remnants of it still reached you.'] Lex concurred. ['Aren't you going to say something, Al?]

['As long as he's fine my help isn't needed.'] Al replied shortly.

Alex snorted at his reply and said. "I appreciate the concern." He then propped himself up.

"They left so soon, lucky bastard," Alex muttered.

"I have a feeling that we'll be meeting them again in the future," Camron said as he appeared beside Alex.

Alex couldn't hear what Camron said because his ears were still blocked, but he could read his lips.

"I think so too. This isn't over." Alex concurred.

The rest came after Camron…

-Ping!!

*Deactivating protective measures as the sound frequency has ceased to emit. Returning user's sense of hearing.

-Ping!!

*Note: side effects such as bleeding from the ears or headaches might occur. The system suggests that the user get medical attention.

After the system warned Alex of what might happen, his ears began bleeding as he regained his hearing.

"Alex, your ears are bleeding!!" Emma pointed out.

"Huh?" Alex placed a hand on his ear and felt the liquid pouring out of his ears slowly. "Well damn."

"Let's go back to the manor and get you treated. The government should have gotten a hold of the Kawataro family by now." Camron stated and they left for the Avanti manor.
