Chapter 2251 - Sacrificing the Rook to Save the King (2/2)
The enormous creature was gnawing at the dead body like it was a sugar-coated Chinese hawthorn that had yet to lose its flavor.
However, the creature immediately spat out the dead body when it discovered the fresher prey in front of it.
Wu Ku swallowed hard.
Mu Bai from Bo City…
Mo Fan from Bo City…
These two, who were once kids in Bo City, had become such powerful Mages. One was capable of killing the Executioners of the Black Vatican with ease, while the other had a Ruler-level Insect that was killing their spies like they were dogs!
“Is it too late for me to start doing good now?” Wu Ku asked with a wince, looking back at Zhao Manyan.
“You are the most humorous member of the Black Vatican I’ve ever seen, but being humorous won’t save you from the offenses you have committed. You are responsible for your own deeds. You should have expected it would come down to this after you caused the calamity in Bo City!” Zhao Manyan answered.
“A Head Priest. Humph, what a surprising catch!” Mo Fan had a puff of black smoke on his left hand.
A deadly hook was visible inside the smoke. At the same time, lightning was crackling wildly on his right hand!
A Head Priest of the Black Vatican…
He had to be the highest-ranked person of the Black Vatican they had met so far. Salan was very elusive. It was difficult to catch the right person, but this Head Priest Wu Ku was clearly the real deal.
They had come all the way to the Aorus Sacred Institute. It would be worth their time if they managed to take out the Head Priest under Salan, who herself was handling one of the three main factions in the Black Vatican!
“Amitabha, I won’t give up so easily,” Wu Ku declared calmly.
“Sure, feel free to fight either of my brothers here!” Zhao Manyan proceeded to set up a Barrier to prevent Wu Ku from running away.
“I already told you I’m not a fan of killing,” Wu Ku said.
“Cut the crap, think of the lives you have taken!” Zhao Manyan yelled back.
“I might be responsible for their deaths, but it doesn’t mean I killed them with my own hands. Fellow gentlemen, please spare my life, and we will spare the Aorus Sacred Institute in return,” Wu Ku said.
Mo Fan and Mu Bai frowned. They did not understand what the monk was saying.
Wu Ku was still standing in a puddle. The raindrops started gathering around him as he waved his sleeves.
The raindrops surrounded Wu Ku like pearls and eventually formed a huge beehive made of water.
“Feel free to take me down if you are confident that you can break through my Rain Hive in three hours to avenge your friends and families, but I can’t guarantee what’s going to happen to the Aorus Sacred Institute in those three hours,” Wu Ku had stopped running. He sat down on the ground and started murmuring strange verses.
“The rain… is getting cloudier…” Mu Bai looked into the distance.
A huge cloud of rain was visible in the distance in the direction of the Aorus Sacred Institute.
“Look at this crystal ball. As a Head Priest, my job is to supervise my subordinates. Blue Bat has already mixed the Evil Herbalist’s elixirs with the rain. Once the rain turns yellow, all of the Andes Mountains will turn into Hell, let alone the Aorus Sacred Institute. The nearby cities will fall victim to it too!” Wu Ku stated firmly.
The crystal ball was displaying some images, much like a surveillance camera. He was using the Chaos Element.
“You may take the crystal ball. It will help you find Blue Bat. Spare me, and I’ll spare the Aorus Sacred Institute too,” Wu Ku vowed.
“Are you sacrificing the rook to save the king?” Zhao Manyan snarled.
“It’s not like I have a choice, do I?” Wu Ku replied easily.
