Chapter 659: The Hunt

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu was panting heavily, as though he was near the brink of exhaustion. It was not a result of his acting, actually, three hours of sprinting at one’s top speed was really tiring for any human being.

Some people might be skeptical. Weren’t marathons more than 40km long? Why were practitioners weaker than marathon runners? In fact, many marathon athletes would also find 100-meter top-speed sprinting extremely exhausting.

Lu Shu was getting light-headed. He wanted to create the illusion that he had been chased into the sea without an alternative. Those Class B experts must have something valuable with them!

Hence, according to his plan, it would be worth it so long as he could kill one underwater. The thought sparked the light of hope in Lu Shu’s heart again...

Suddenly Francesco and the rest slowed down behind him. Francesco wiped his face clean and said, “Nice try. But we know there’s an ambush in the water. Your acting skills could have been better.”

Distress crossed Lu Shu’s heart. Why had his carefully-planned schemes been exposed every time...

Besides, it was an unforgivable insult to mock his acting skills!

Waves slapped the cliff rocks loudly and blue tides broke into white flowers on the reefs. Lu Shu took a glimpse down the cliff. The vast ocean was his stage, and he was the hunter in water.

A pseudo-Class B preying on Class B’s? That was a bold idea.

For all this while, Lu Shu had not even given it a try to fight with Francesco’s team on the ground because he treasured his life a lot. He had learned his lessons from the earlier battle.

Now he understood that the mask could not make him omnipotent. He might land himself in danger due to past issues carried by the identity he was using. That made intelligence provided by the Heavenly Network extremely crucial.

In the past, Lu Shu thought that he could do whatever he wanted in Europe under the disguise of the mask. But this time, he had encountered a life-or-death crisis not long after he arrived at the first stop of his overseas journey. This could only be attributed to insufficient prior preparation.

His true identity would most likely be in danger if not for his innate suppression of Howard’s fire-type powers.

After he acted as Howard to meet Bennett, he tried to avoid suspicion by assuming a new identity to assassinate Howard. This was like a quick fix to correct his past actions, but he would be in serious trouble when it failed.

People draw lessons from past experience.

He treasured his life, because he had to stay alive to meet Lu Xiaoyu. Therefore, he had made use of the time when he ran on the field earlier and was now fully prepared.

“What are you going to do, My Lord?”

“To destroy the Heavenly Palace.”

“What if you can’t return?”

“I’m not going, then...”

That was probably the most accurate portrayal of Lu Shu...

Lu Shu’s eyes grew darker as he gazed at the sea surface. The cliff was close to 100m tall. No extreme sports lovers would dare to challenge themselves to this height, but times had changed.

Lu Shu turned to look at Francesco and the other people. Then, he extended his arms and jumped into the sea with no further hesitation. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he leaped down.

The hunt had begun.

Francesco and the rest watched as Lu Shu plunged into the sea like a seagull. Francesco was certain that he had seen the brief smile on Lu Shu’s face. He asked, “Did you notice his expression just now?”

“No.”

Francesco was puzzled. Did he see wrongly?!

No way!

As a man of self-assurance Francesco was very positive his observation was right. He knew they had been fooled by “Howard” the second he saw his smile. The stratagem of the empty city. “Howard” was presenting a bold front to conceal his weak defense! He was creating the illusion that there was an ambush in the water so that they would not dare to pursue any further!

Moreover, it seemed that the smile was only for Francesco. Now Francesco was even more convinced that the truth lay in the hands of the minority.

The smile was very well concealed from the rest. But unfortunately, Francesco was still stronger!

“Follow me and kill him!” Francesco shouted and leaped down, leaving other people looking at one another in hesitation. It was not like they had a choice, though, because they would have to face the fury of the Department of Faith Theory if they chose not to obey. In any case, they had just witnessed how terrific the Class A Bishop was.

With a few splashes, Francesco and the five Class B’s jumped down. A black shadow approached them from below the water once they landed in the sea.

Francesco gave a cold laugh. As expected, there was no ambush. Howard was all alone!

Francesco’s white cloak suddenly gathered together to wrap himself up. Surprisingly he was very agile underwater, and his cloak was actually a magical weapon too!

It was his confidence in water, not his judgment of the current situation alone, that had driven him down the cliff!

Nonetheless, oxygen was an issue. But Class B experts could easily hold their breath for about ten minutes.

At this moment, he suddenly saw hundreds of purple fish emerge from the approaching shadow.

Wait a second! They were not fish!

Francesco was stunned. When he gained his focus, he realized they were hundreds of beams of purple lightning. It was unexpected that Howard could do this!

Purple lightning shone through the water, beautifully and mysteriously. Francesco felt that he had never seen a lightning so splendid in his entire life.

Oh no, that was his real trump card!

Francesco wanted to use his white cloak to make a quick escape, but it was too late. The lightning traveled much faster than humans. In any case, that was purple lightning produced by divine punishment!

In the next instant, everyone, including Francesco, could not help but start shaking violently due to the electric shock. Lightning surged and exploded in their body, paralyzing all of them.

Francesco was desperate. With only his head still in control, he was an easy kill...

But in the next second, he suddenly noticed that the black shadow below was shaking for some reason too...

What? You yourself were electrocuted by your own lightning?!
