Chapter 383: Holy Knight

Tracy had always been aware that Ba Luo liked her, but when they first met, she already had a boyfriend.

Her boyfriend at the time was a basketball star at the school, tall and muscular, radiating sunshine.

Having come from a small town, the pale and thin Ba Luo, with his weak constitution, was far from comparable to the other man.

Even after the two broke up, Tracy never considered Ba Luo.

Now…

Whether it was his income or his thoughtful care during this time, Tracy’s heart was moved.

Perhaps,

the two of them should make their feelings clear.

She went downstairs.

Pulling Ba Luo to a deserted corner, Tracy took a deep breath, intending to confirm their relationship.

Having been in several relationships, she was no longer the naive girl she once was. She was well-versed in confessions, so she naturally didn’t feel nervous.

“Ba Luo.”

“Mm.”

Ba Luo’s face showed nervousness.

He wasn’t stupid; of course, he could guess what she was about to say. His breathing hitched, and his body tensed subconsciously.

“Thank you for everything during this time,” Tracy said softly, “You know my family’s situation. Since my father passed away, you’re the only one who has been by my side…”

“Wait!”

“Huh?”

Tracy looked up in surprise:

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s…something coming,” Ba Luo’s eyes narrowed, and his body hair stood on end. He reached out and pulled Tracy behind him, looking towards the shadows in the corner:

“Who’s there?”

“Huh?”

From the darkness, the shadows writhed like a viscous liquid, and a black man with strange patterns all over his face emerged.

“You can actually sense my presence?”

The black man’s eyes showed confusion:

“Wasn’t it said that the target this time was an ordinary person?”

“Who are you?”

Ba Luo shouted, while also glancing towards the hotel security not far away. In the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

Even though they were very close, and he had deliberately shouted loudly, the security personnel didn’t seem to hear anything. None of them turned to look in their direction.

Without anyone noticing.

A thin layer of black mist enveloped the surroundings, blurring everything within and distorting the perception of the outside world.

“It’s useless,”

The black man shook his head gently:

“My ability can isolate sound, sight, and even smell. This is the origin of the absolute darkness.”

“Ba Luo?”

“Just obediently come with me!”

With that, he stomped the ground and charged towards the two of them.

The black man was not muscular, but his speed was astonishing. Tracy was certain that no one she had ever met could run faster than him.

Could this be an advantage of his race?

Before she could scream, she saw a blur before her eyes, and Ba Luo had already kicked the man in the chest.

“Bang!”

The black man was sent flying backward as if he had been hit by a speeding truck, his feet scraping along the ground.

He flew a good dozen meters before landing heavily.

“Ba Luo!”

Tracy’s eyes widened, and she stared in astonishment at the scene before her:

“You…how did you do that?”

The black man must have weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms. To kick him a dozen meters away, how much strength would that require?

All of her boyfriends combined probably wouldn’t be as strong.

And the surprise didn’t stop there.

“Cough cough!”

The black man coughed twice, slowly pushing himself up from the ground. He lightly brushed off the dust on his body, seemingly unharmed. He just said faintly:

“Not bad, looks like I’ll need to ask for more money.”

He muttered softly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if he had merged into the darkness.

He reappeared behind Ba Luo.

“Be careful!”

Tracy screamed instinctively.

“Swish!”

“Thwack!”

Ba Luo suddenly turned around, raised his hand to block the incoming attack, and then, taking advantage of the momentum, he thrust an elbow forward.

The black man flashed away again, teleporting to Ba Luo’s side and attacking once more.

Ba Luo dodged sideways.

The two figures flashed quickly, and in an instant, afterimages filled the scene, accompanied by a continuous series of crackling sounds.

“Bang!”

The hard marble floor couldn’t withstand the force and burst open on the spot, sending fragments of stone flying in all directions.

Another series of chaotic sounds.

“Ah!”

Having never seen such a scene before, Tracy couldn’t help but scream, fear and excitement rushing through her mind.

What a terrifying person!

Ba Luo,

is actually so strong?

The black man was clearly proficient in martial arts, and with the help of his special ability to merge into the darkness, he could move quickly and steadily maintain the upper hand.

But it wasn’t easy for him to take down Ba Luo either.

Moreover, as time passed, Ba Luo’s speed was getting faster and faster, and his strength was also increasing.

“Bang!”

◈◈◈

Again, a head-on collision.

The black man retreated several steps, stopping and looking at Barrow with a surprised expression:

“You… are still in the potential outburst period?”

“What do you mean?” Barrow looked puzzled:

“Who exactly are you? Why are you attacking us?”

“Heh…” The black man was somewhat speechless:

“How can this be?”

People in the potential outburst period often just entered the extraordinary realm, but to be this strong right after entering, how terrifying must their potential be?

How could someone like this not have a mentor?

“Swish!”

With a flash, the black man attacked again, but this time the target was not Barrow, but Tracy, who had retreated into a corner.

“Stop!”

Barrow shouted urgently upon seeing this, his body quickly closing in.

“Bang!”

“Hiss…”

Figures intertwined.

A strange white light suddenly appeared on Tracy’s shoulder, the light circled in the air and struck Barrow’s brow.

Barrow’s body stiffened, instantly ceasing to move.

“Hehe…” A phantom rat appeared on Tracy’s shoulder, squeaking:

“Sid, I’m glad I came, right?”

“Indeed.”

The black man, Sid, twisted his sore wrist and nodded helplessly:

“You’re right.”

“Let’s go.” The rat spoke:

“He’s under my Soul-Snatching Technique, he won’t be able to break free for at least an hour, let’s leave quickly.”

“Got it.” Sid took a step forward, grabbed Barrow’s shoulder, and was about to lift him when his expression suddenly changed, and darkness enveloped his body.

“Tsk!”

A dark light flashed, bringing out some blood.

“Ugh!”

Sid grunted, his body rolling back and forth on the ground.

“It’s a magic-breaking bullet!”

“Be careful!”

Several dark figures appeared nearby, they held firearms and pulled the triggers towards the darkness.

“Tsk!”

“Tsk tsk!”

The silencers could not completely eliminate the gunshots, the magic-breaking bullets left white streaks in the void, while the black man, Sid, constantly dodged using the darkness.

“Barrow!”

The Night Watchman, Chris’s voice sounded:

“Can you hear me?”

Barrow, whose body was stiff, moved his eyeballs, his confused gaze gradually regaining consciousness at the call.

“Damn it!”

The rat, squatting on Tracy’s shoulder and controlling the two of them, squeaked softly, then shrunk and disappeared into Tracy’s body.

Immediately after.

Tracy’s eyes glowed green, and she let out a low growl, then hoisted Barrow onto her shoulder and charged away.

She, a frail woman, was able to carry Barrow and run like the wind, with astonishing speed.

“Chase!”

The Night Watchman roared.

On a street lamp not far away, a red-eyed bat quietly watched this scene, then spread its wings and disappeared.

…………

Soon.

In a dark alleyway.

“Bang!”

“Thud…”

Bullets and figures intertwined, various collision sounds were heard, the six Night Watchmen surrounded their target.

“Monkey!”

The black man, Sid, was blasted out of the shadows by an invisible force, covered in wounds, he could no longer hold on, and roared to the sky:

“If you don’t come out, we’re going to die!”

“Hmph!”

A cold snort sounded from an unknown location, a golden light suddenly shot into the battlefield, blasting away several Night Watchmen:

“If they wanted to kill you, they could have done so long ago, they kept you alive just to lure me out.”

“Fools!”

Despite saying that, a golden-armored warrior appeared in the field.

“A Holy Knight!” The Night Watchman, Chris’s eyes narrowed, his muscles bulging, and his ability to manipulate flesh was pushed to the extreme, he roared and charged towards the opponent:

“The gods are dead, now this world belongs to us!”

“Bang!”

The golden light surged.

The Holy Knight, wielding a broadsword, collided with Chris in mid-air, the shockwave clearing out everyone around them.

“God, is immortal!”

The Holy Knight lowered his eyebrows, his voice solemn:

“Those who defy God’s will shall receive divine punishment!”

“Die!”

“Crack!”

A blinding golden light shone, illuminating the entire alleyway.
