Chapter 189: You have no chance

Shaking her head, Candice rejected Lawrence’s suggestion. She looked resolutely and admonished, “This isn’t just about the money!”

Candice noticeably held the upper hand in this situation. With the aid of Han Shuo and the authors, Belinda and Johnny couldn’t do anything at all. It was apparent from Belinda and Johnny’s equipment and weapons that the Calamity Church wasn’t short on money. Belinda could easily settle this matter with a bit of money, so she was being surprisingly stubborn this time.

“The Calamity Church isn’t someone you can threaten!” The scar on the injured Johnny’s face became even more apparent because of his rage. The longsword in his hand shone with blinding electrical light thanks to the power of thunder and lightening.

Just as Han Shuo was about to open his mouth, Johnny’s body suddenly moved forward and charged at Han Shuo. He had a look of killing intent on his face and the longsword in his hand was as if an electrical dragon, exploding with the frightening power of thunder and lightning and lighting up the somewhat dark cave.

“Be careful!” Phoebe and Emily were both shocked by Johnny’s sudden motions and couldn’t help but cry out in reminder.

A pile of white bones suddenly gathered in the air and formed a white bone shield, blocking the longsword that was striking like an electrical dragon. Two bone spears flew out viciously afterwards, crashing into Johnny’s longsword, which was wreathed in lightning before it had a chance to strike the white bone shield.

Some light cracks rang out as the bone spears exploded. The longsword angrily gave off sparks as it smashed into the bone shield beneath Johnny’s thrust.

The white bone shield immediately fractured into many bone fragments as Johnny’s thrust still made viciously for Han Shuo despite being thwarted twice.

The Demonslayer Edge finally howled as it made its appearance. A metallic clang exploded through the air as a cold light flashed in Han Shuo’s hands. Han Shuo grunted as he was driven back for a few steps. The lightning flared once on Johnny’s longsword as it abruptly extinguished.

Johnny’s imposing momentum finally slowed down at this point, and when he planned on regrouping for another attack, Caspian, Emily, and Phoebe were already standing by Han Shuo’s side and glaring at Johnny angrily.

“I don’t think I’m your enemy, hmm?” Han Shuo steadied himself and circulated the magical yuan around his body, confirming that he’d suffered no harm before directing a cold look at Johnny and asking faintly.

“You lied to us during the Bob Ascher operation and made us cannon fodder. Apart from distracting a few people for us, you didn’t go to any other efforts. Now that everything’s over, don’t think I don’t know what plans you’re making in your heart. You’re the one who deserves to die the most!” Johnny grimaced as he looked frostily at Han Shuo.

Since Bob Ascher was the chief of the Gryphon Legion, whether or not Han Shuo and Emily had concrete evidence, they had no right to condemn Bob Ascher to death, not to mention engaging in an assassination attempt like this.

If Han Shuo and Emily had colluded with the Calamity Church to kill Bob Ascher, then there would’ve been severe consequences from the Dark Mantle’s side afterwards. Not to mention that Han Shuo knew full well the exact strength of his intended victim, and that it was impossible to kill Bob Ascher in Valen City. Only fervent religious followers would do something that held such a high risk.

Nodding, Han Shuo smiled faintly. “Since things are out in the open, don’t blame me for cutting our relationship here then. You’ve already made a move against me, don’t blame me for doing the same.”

Han Shuo turned to look at the wryly smiling Lawrence after speaking, “You still want to help them now?”

Spreading his hands, Lawrence took a few steps back. He smiled ruefully, “I’d been quite interested in the Calamity Church’s golem and wanted to obtain the method to make one through peaceful means. It looks like that’s not too likely now.”

Lawrence’s words also confirmed Han Shuo’s earlier speculation. For someone concerned with only his matters, he must have had something else on his mind to suddenly give Belinda and Johnny a helping hand. Lawrence’s words were an obvious indication that he was standing on Han Shuo and Phoebe’s side.

Nodding, Han Shuo smiled slightly at Lawrence. “Many thanks!”

“Do you think you’ve got us?” Standing behind Johnny all this time, Belinda finally spoke up and took out the item she’d used to seal the golem. It looked like she was finally going to make a move.

“Heh heh, you won’t have the chance to use that!” Han Shuo laughed for a long while and used the demon infant to manipulate the drop of blood essence hidden within Belinda. A mere thought was enough for the frosty air within the blood essence to invade Belinda’s body. She felt her neck grow numb and fell backwards in a dead faint.

“What, what did you do to her?” Belinda’s sudden faint shocked Johnny as he looked at Han Shuo in great panic.

“She’ll live, but there’s no need for you to continue living. It’s too dangerous to allow you to live.” Han Shuo smiled coldly and suddenly opened his mouth to chant a necromancy spell. A hate warrior appeared out of thin air along with three other zombie warriors standing in front of Han Shuo.

Johnny knew that Belinda wouldn’t be able to help him now that things had developed to such a . He hesitated only slightly and immediately turned to run, trying to leave from the only entrance. Both Emily and Caspian suddenly started chanting and several thick branches snaked over adroitly, as well as a cloud of black mist.

“You can’t escape!” Emily chuckled and chanted another spell. The cloud of black mist seemed to be some kind of restraint as Johnny’s body suddenly stiffened as soon as it neared him. The flexible tree branches then entangled his body.

Johnny was a thunder swordsmage alright. He could still barely manage to move even when restrained like this. He lifted the longsword in his hand with difficulty and planned on chopping away at the tree branches that held him down. However, the three zombie warriors and hate warrior had already closed in on him.
