Chapter 536 The Counterattack of the Elemental Factions (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)
"Walter, why don't you go up and stop it?"
"Stop? Why should I stop?"
Walter looked up at Dicky Curtis. The Hunters Guild was not a warm society that helped each other, but an organization full of competition and intertwined interests.
Here, hunters fight on their own, and sometimes one hunter accepts an assassination mission, while another hunter accepts the mission of protecting the same target.
The final result often depends on which hunter is more powerful and which hunter is more skilled.
The Hunter Guild is just a role that provides a platform for tasks.
It issues tasks, and hunters choose to accept or reject them according to their abilities and wishes.
The guild doesn't care what happens between the hunters, and won't get involved in their fights and conflicts.
This is a free market and everyone is responsible for their own choices and actions.
In the blood splattering, the pig-headed butcher Oink stood like a murderous god.
The butcher knife he held tightly in his hand was stained red with blood, and the blade reflected a sharp cold light under the pale light.
Every time the sword flashes, it seems to be filled with a life-threatening chill, and even the air can be split into two by it.
It was also the first time for Dickie Curtis to face such an opponent, and his nerves were extremely tense.
The dagger in his hand was like an extension of his soul, turning flexibly at his fingertips, ready to receive the butcher's fierce attack at any time.
The other hand is holding the pistol steadily. The black muzzle tells a silent threat. Once the time is right, it will spray deadly bullets.
The slaughtering knife in Oink's hand was swung to the rhythm of his breathing, sometimes slowly and forcefully, sometimes as fast as the wind, and the whistling sound that cut through the air was frightening.
This is a battle between life and death. Every intersection of swords and shadows may be a moment that determines life and death.
Dickie Curtis' figure was extremely flexible, like a gust of wind, moving lightly around Oink's hill-like body.
Whenever the butcher's butcher's knife was about to fall, Dicky could always dodge by a hair's breadth, causing Oink's ferocious attacks to fail repeatedly.
While dodging, Dicky was also looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Suddenly, he seized a fleeting opportunity, and the pistol in his hand spit out tongues of fire.
"Bang! Bang!" Two deafening gunshots echoed in the narrow space.
The bullet passed through Oink's body with a trace of blood.
Oink's skin was so thick that Dicky Curtis' special bullets were unable to penetrate it, leaving only shallow scratches on Oink's skin.
Oink is like a playful god of death. Every time the sword flashes, it will bring out bloody flowers, as if mocking Dicky's powerlessness.
Every time the blade approached, Dicky felt the threat of death.
As the battle continued, Oink's strength advantage became more and more obvious.
His mountain-like sense of oppression and overwhelming power made the assassin exhausted during the confrontation.
Every time he collided with Oink, Dicky could feel his muscles shaking violently, and he might be torn apart by this brute force at any time.
After a quick dodge, Dicky Curtis discovered that Oink had revealed a flaw in his continuous offensive.
Dicky's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He tightened his grip on the pistol and shot Oink's vitals as fast as a poisonous snake spitting a message.
In this shot, he devoted all his hope and strength.
Oink seemed to have had a premonition of this fatal blow.
At this critical moment, his burly body showed amazing agility and reflexes.
I saw him waving the butcher knife in his hand and cutting the flying bullets in half.
Immediately afterwards, Oink's backhand knife was like lightning piercing the night sky, and it was unexpectedly stabbed into Dicky's belly.
The knife rotated hard in Dicky's stomach, and then a large amount of blood spurted out from the blade, staining the ground red and forming a shocking pool of blood.
Dicky Curtis felt a heartbreaking pain spread from his stomach throughout his body. His strength seemed to be withdrawn in an instant, and his whole body collapsed to the ground.
Oink's face was stained beyond recognition by the splattered blood, and his hideous appearance was like a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell, which made people shudder.
"Hey, why did you just kill him? I happen to be short of materials for a doll." Little Red Riding Hood squatted on the ground, with a hint of cruelty in her tone that didn't match her appearance.
She stared at Dickie Curtis who was lying on the ground with his breath gradually decreasing. A trace of regret flashed across his young face, as if he was unwilling to miss out on a good doll material.
Oink glanced at Little Red Riding Hood and said gruffly: "Sorry, I couldn't hold it back just now."
In order to make up for Little Red Riding Hood's "loss", Oink took out a tightly tied human being from his dirty apron pocket and handed it to Little Red Riding Hood like a treasure.
In Oink's eyes, this captured human being might be able to appease Little Red Riding Hood's dissatisfaction, or it might become the material for her next "work".
The moment the bound humans saw Little Red Riding Hood, bottomless fear and despair burst out in their eyes.
He originally thought he would be able to escape the terrifying clutches, but unexpectedly he just fell from one hell into another deeper darkness.
Little Red Riding Hood happily took the trembling human and looked him up and down with her cold eyes.
A satisfied smile broke out on her face, and she said in a sweet voice: "It's very good, and it looks handsome. It will be very cute when made into a doll."
Under the desperate gaze of humans, he was horrified to find that his limbs began to shrink slowly.
Soon, the rope around him came loose, but at this moment, his limbs had shrunk to the point where he was unable to struggle.
In an instant, the unfortunate human was transformed into an exquisite doll in a suit, held lightly in the palm of Little Red Riding Hood's hand.
There was still deep fear and despair in his eyes, but his body was completely out of his control.
From then on, he could only become a helpless plaything in the hands of this seemingly innocent little girl, at her mercy, unable to escape the shackles of fate.
"Doll, do you like your new companion?" Little Red Riding Hood whispered, elegantly picking up the just-finished doll from the ground, and handed it to the old doll with a smile.
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and amusement, as if she was quietly waiting for the old doll's reaction and wanted to observe a good show.
Resentment and anger flashed across the old doll's face for a moment.
That expression revealed his painful memories of being turned into a doll.
The humiliation and unwillingness of being reduced from a free human being to a motionless doll was once again touched by the appearance of a new doll.
But the complexity and subtlety of human nature are fully revealed at this moment.
The bitterness on the old doll's face was quickly replaced by a look of schadenfreude.
The twisted satisfaction of seeing others follow in his footsteps gave him some relief from the depression in his heart.
After all, finding companions in misfortune may alleviate some of your loneliness and pain.
At this moment, footsteps sounded again in the corridor, and the sound of "bah, bah, bah..." broke the silence in the room.
Little Red Riding Hood and Oink turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the end of the corridor.
As the footsteps approached, a large group of powerful beings gradually appeared in their sight.
Demons, feather tribes, elves...
A large number of powerful men with terrifying auras appeared in front of Little Red Riding Hood and Oink.
Facing this sudden battle, the doll in Little Red Riding Hood's hand seemed to recognize some of the faces, and it immediately became still, as if it was really just an ordinary, lifeless doll.
"Absolutely strong?!" Little Red Riding Hood's face gradually became serious, and her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a slight vigilance.
Although she is about to transform into an alien being, this does not mean that the alien being is invincible.
In fact, most alien beings only survive for a very long time, but in terms of power level, they are not invincible.
Among all the strange beings, there are three strongest ones who stand at the top. They are the Madness of Maosheng, the Lord of the Past and the Candle Girl.
These three alien beings are all supreme level beings, and even at the supreme level they are troublesome opponents. However, alien beings spend most of their time wandering in the gaps between worlds. They seem to be travelers from another dimension, maintaining a subtle distance from the void.
They usually do not actively interfere with other creatures unless provoked or attacked.
This attitude of "If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you" means that they are not regarded as a direct threat among the void races.
In fact, because alien beings have survived for extremely long periods of time, some even measured in tens of thousands of years, the knowledge and experience they have accumulated is extremely rich.
For some Void races, this knowledge is a valuable asset.
Therefore, they sometimes communicate with alien beings through specific rituals in order to obtain knowledge that has been forgotten by time.
In this process, alien beings often appear generous, because for them, knowledge is the least valuable thing.
They prefer to share this knowledge in exchange for something that interests them, or simply out of curiosity and entertainment.
Little Red Riding Hood glanced at the office door behind her, a trace of confusion flashed across her face.
She couldn't help but start to wonder, what is the identity of this new night doctor Lin Yi, who can attract so many powerful people's attention?
She knows that in the entire void, there are only a few extremely strong people.
For Lin Yi, a seemingly ordinary guy, less than half of the most powerful people gathered here.
This made her very interested in Lin Yi's identity.
"Oink, the Butcher of Paradise, and Little Red Riding Hood, the Fairy Tale Queen." Walter's voice echoed in the air, calling out their names and titles.
Oink and Little Red Riding Hood were not surprised.
It is not difficult for the extremely powerful to understand their identity and strength.
"Okay, relax, we're not here to cause trouble for that little guy this time." Morton's voice was gentle and powerful, breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
His words made the originally vigilant Little Red Riding Hood and Oink relax a little.
They know very well that as an extremely strong person, they usually have their own dignity and reserve.
Unless they are as shameless as Greengillian, most powerful people will strictly abide by their own identity and code of conduct and will not easily do something degrading.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Yi's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
During the fierce battle between Oink and Dicky Curtis, Lin Yi chose to avoid his sharp edge and did not come out to cause trouble.
"Are you all here?" Lin Yi looked a little surprised when he saw Walter, Morton and others.
"Of course, you can go back first and leave it to us."
Lin Yi nodded after hearing this and said nothing more.
He understood that since these strong men had gathered here, they were naturally capable of handling the situation at hand.
"Who is this kid? I don't believe that an ordinary night doctor can alert you people to show up." Oink put the butcher knife back into his apron, obviously becoming very interested in Lin Yi's identity.
Little Red Riding Hood continued to play with the new doll in her hands. She opened its arms to 180 degrees, with a mischievous smile on her face, as if she was pleased by the doll's painful expression.
Morton looked at the reaction of the two people with a playful smile on his face: "Isn't it just for those two guys that you came here? Now that they have appeared in front of you, you still haven't recognized them?"
"Those two people... Doctor Abyss?" Oink's eyes widened, and he quickly ruled out the possibility that Lin Yi was a law destroyer.
In his impression, the Law-Destroying Shadows were just a group of bandits, and it was impossible for them to come here in a good mood to help with treatment.
In comparison, Doctor Abyss's identity seems to be more in line with Lin Yi's characteristics.
"Well, don't talk nonsense after you get out. This kid hasn't grown up yet. He was assassinated as soon as he got here. I'm afraid this kind of situation will happen one after another."
After saying that, Walter walked towards Dicky Curtis's body, preparing to use his ability to trace the source.
This is also his special skill that allows him to gain a foothold in the upper echelons of the Hunter Guild. With this skill, almost no one can escape his pursuit.
However, just as Walter was about to investigate further along the line of cause and effect of this mission, a dazzling light suddenly flashed and instantly cut off the line of cause and effect.
Walter was caught off guard, so he suffered a bit of backlash, spitting out a small mouthful of blood.
"What happened? What did you find?"
Seeing Walter's performance, Morton knew in his heart that Walter must have tracked down something, otherwise such a serious reaction would not have been possible.
Walter wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said solemnly: "No, the other party cut off the causal line before I could trace the source. But this also exposed a lot of information."
You must know that the causal line is not so easy to cut off. If you want to cut off this thing, it means that this force has at least one destiny expert who is above the ninth level peak.
There is a lot of information exposed at this time. You must know that there are not many forces in the entire void that can possess this kind of strength.
At present, most of the forces in the void have gathered here. After excluding them, there will be even fewer forces with this ability.
"Ancient dragon, sun, death, sea of wind, witch and...arcana." When these forces were mentioned, the eyes of everyone present turned to the Howling King standing behind the team.
This is not to imply that the assassins were sent by the Howling King, but rather that the assassins are related to the Arcane Eternals.
As we all know, wherever there are people, there are bound to be power disputes.
As the dominant force in the void, Arcane Eternal Star is not monolithic within itself.
This time, it can be seen that Howling King and others teamed up to suppress Sefilia. There is obviously a lot of conflict between the elemental faction represented by Howling King and Sefilia's arcane faction.
This contradiction is not even concealed in public, which is enough to illustrate its intensity.
"The ancient dragon and the sun are temporarily unable to take action, and the one who just cut off the fate line does not have the aura of the ancient god."
"I know something about the situation on Fenghai Continent. They are now involved in a war involving the entire continent. The war is raging. They can't protect themselves, let alone interfere with things here."
With the disclosure of this information, everyone already has the answer in their minds.
Although the witch community has not been completely ruled out as a suspect, everyone knows that there is no hostility between the witch community and Doctor Abyss.
When Hill didn't encounter any misfortune, he and the Moon Witch were sisters.
If the witch world had not encountered difficulties of its own and its leaders could not escape, the witch world might also be standing here at this moment, side by side with them.
The name of Arcane Eternal Star is not mentioned now, just to give face to Howling King.
After all, Howling King is also one of the rulers of the Arcane Eternal Star, so it would not be good to directly slap him in the face like this.
"I'll keep an eye on this."
No one was too surprised by Howling King's words. After all, there were too many problems exposed by the Arcane Eternal Star this time.
"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you."
Morton glanced at Howling King. Although the relationship between the two parties was not a good one, Morton still trusted Howling King. At least he was much more trustworthy than that old lady Sephilia.
After everyone left, Howling King informed the people of the elemental faction who were still on the Arcane Eternal Star about what happened here.
Upon hearing the news of Lin Yi's attack, the elders of the Elemental Faction looked horribly gloomy. They felt the aggressive power from the Austrian Faction.
They had already made concessions to Hill's attack on the elemental faction before, but this time the arcane faction is still so aggressive. Do you really think that the elemental faction is Ni Nirvana?
"Haha, it seems that I haven't shown up for a long time. Does anyone think that my old man is dead?" In the middle of the table, a smiling old man looked at the message sent by Howling King. Although he was smiling, the aura on his body But extremely violent.
"Barney." Someone called softly.
"Great Elder." Everyone saluted the old man.
This smiling old man is the great elder of the elemental faction. His seniority has been too long to be tested, and he is a man of great influence who has truly experienced the Second Era.
In the Third Age, he chose to step aside to make way for a new generation of members of the Arcane Eternals, which is why Howling King is able to sit in his current position.
If the Great Elder doesn't take action, then the world will fall apart.
He calmly ordered: "In the past ten years, all shares of the Black Maple Tree have been suspended by the Offa Faction."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, knowing that this was the great elder's stern response to the arcane faction.
