Chapter 714: Deadly Duel and Badge

However, at this moment, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma could no longer hear what Li Ang was saying at all.

Pretending to be enraged by Li Ang's offense, the Goddess of Wealth, who had already withdrawn part of her power, had completely seized the upper hand in this struggle over the "Rapier."

As the rapier's blade was continuously pulled out, the stable balance scale atop the 【Satisfying Balance】 began to shake incessantly, and even the heart in the left tray had already disappeared by more than half.

"Aaaah..."

Seeing the heart of sin condensed by the 【Satisfying Balance】 shrink continuously with the Goddess of Wealth's resistance and eventually vanish completely, the green-black giant crocodile lingering beneath the two figures could not help but reveal a look of human-like disappointment on its face.

"Wait."

Just as the Crocodile God, having made a wasted trip, prepared to leave, the pile of skulls at the valley bottom all revealed a faint smile, and then spoke in a gentle tone, calling out:

"Don't go yet, don't you want to eat something?"

Not quite understanding the Goddess of Wealth's words, the giant Crocodile God cautiously stepped back half a pace, then tilted its head slightly, conveying its confusion to the Goddess of Wealth with its gaze.

"What I mean is... since you're already here!"

As soon as the Goddess of Wealth finished speaking, only a soft "pfft" sound was heard, and the last remaining tip of the sword was also pulled out from her own heart.

Immediately, blood flowed backward, flesh and skin closed together, clothes restored... as if time were reversing, the wound caused by the rapier on her chest completely vanished without a trace!

"It's my turn to judge you, isn't it?"

Smiling at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who had clenched her lips and unfolded the 【Psalm of Pain】 to try and stall her, the Goddess of Wealth, her eyes full of anger and hatred, snatched the rapier with a swift hand and thrust it directly into her chest, not only piercing the 【Psalm of Pain】 written on the parchment scroll, but also driving the sword through her heart with tremendous force, the sharp tip piercing straight through her back!

"Ugh..."

Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, whose heart had been pierced, could not help but let out a muffled groan, and then, feeling her stamina begin to drain wildly along with her blood as the sharp sword pierced in, realizing she could not hold on much longer, she suddenly stepped forward despite the excruciating pain of having her heart pierced, directly opening her arms to lock onto the Goddess of Wealth.

At the same time, a dark charred-wood iron coffin, tightly bound by chains, quietly appeared behind Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, and at the bottom of the blood-soaked Emerald Valley, a dim and dilapidated church rose from nothingness.

The dark red pillars, with large patches of paint peeling off, barely supported the towering arching ceiling on the verge of collapse; beneath the arch, the old stained-glass windows made of broken glass were covered in a thick layer of floating dust, scattering the sunlight filtering in from both sides of the church into fragmented and dim light.

And on the central altar, where the candlesticks should have been holy and bright, burned dim, pale blue flames; one believer after another, dressed in gray robes, raised their bloodless, withered faces, staring fixedly with their hollow eye sockets that seemed almost sunken into their bones, at the two women tightly embracing each other in the center surrounded by the candlesticks.

"Damn it! Are you crazy?"

Seeing the coffin lid behind Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, smooth as a mirror and strangely reflecting her own headless dead form, slowly rising, the Goddess of Wealth, whose head had grown back at some point, suddenly trembled violently all over, no longer caring to make Auntie Auntie Ai Ma taste the sensation of having her heart weighed, and immediately mustered all her strength to struggle frantically.

The well-traveled Goddess of Wealth recognized the origin of the iron coffin at a single glance—that was the 【Coffin of the Dead】, which connected to the Realm of Death!

If she were really dragged in together with her, this damn Cleaner would indeed be captured by the Realm of Death and never return, but she herself, as a true god of flesh and blood, would not escape either! Moreover, because of her true god's excessively vigorous vitality, she would be devoured by the rulers of the Realm of Death along with her!

"Let go! Let go quickly!"

Watching the 【Coffin of the Dead】, its chains loosened by two dead ones and slowly opening, the Goddess of Wealth hurriedly let go of the rapier, switched to grabbing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's shoulders, and began to push outward desperately, cracking her shoulders with a "crack-crack" sound, and forcefully arching her knees to bump against Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's abdomen almost crazily, trying to forcibly push her away.

Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, feeling the pain, could not help but let out a muffled groan, and her left arm, already emerald-fied, trembled incessantly, faintly showing cracks, but she still stubbornly held onto the Goddess of Wealth, dragging her with all her might toward the 【Coffin of the Dead】.

Damn crazy woman! Damn Cleanup Bureau! I shouldn't have come today! Shocked by Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's determination to face death, which made her scalp go numb, and seeing the iron coffin lid completely open, even still able to see the corpses walking with heads bowed on the Path of the Dead, knowing she could delay no longer, the Goddess of Wealth gritted her teeth and made a ruthless decision, took out a toad-shaped pendant, and threw it directly into her mouth.

Immediately, a glass bottle containing a small black snake also appeared in her hand, which she crushed with a single grip!

"My God! No! No! I'm useful! I'm still useful!"

As if already foreseeing what would happen next, the snake spirit, covered in wounds, suddenly widened its eyes and began to beg for mercy desperately.

Hearing the snake spirit's plea, the Goddess of Wealth's cheeks twitched slightly, but looking at the Path of the Dead getting closer and closer, she ultimately ignored the small black snake's pleas and tilted her head back to swallow it in one gulp!

As my holy spirit, offering everything to me is your duty!

And after consecutively swallowing the toad pendant and the small black snake, fine snake scales rapidly grew on the Goddess of Wealth's face and arms, and large bumps like a toad's back also appeared on the exposed skin of her back.

"Let go!"

Accompanied by a rough, furious roar, the Goddess of Wealth, whose power had surged, actually used her grip strength to crush Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's shoulder blades, causing the two arms locking her to go limp and hang down.

Subsequently, the 【Coffin of the Dead】, which had already opened more than halfway, instantly vanished due to the lack of a target, and the surrounding dilapidated church and the dead gazing in prayer also disappeared, and the two returned once again to the bottom of the Emerald Valley.

And the Goddess of Wealth, who had paid an incredibly huge price to avoid being dragged into the Realm of Death, the first thing she did after regaining her freedom was to kick Auntie Auntie Ai Ma to the ground with one foot, then bend down full of murderous intent to pull out the rapier stuck in Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's heart.

However, just at this moment, a furious roar suddenly sounded behind her.

"Stop!"

Oh right, and you too!

Watching Li Ang, who did not know why his face was completely red and whose steps were somewhat unsteady, rushing toward her, a deep malice surged in the Goddess of Wealth's now narrow snake eyes.

You were willing to drag me to the Realm of Death just to save him, weren't you?

Glancing at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, whose expression suddenly became urgent, the Goddess of Wealth sneered slightly, then beckoned to Li Ang in the distance with a finger, and announced with a face full of satisfaction:

"In the name of the Chengjin Sect's Snake Spirit, I buy your youth and years, purchase your marrow and flesh, take your... eh?"

After beckoning twice in a row, suddenly discovering that all her power had fallen completely empty, unable to capture the Li Ang before her who was full of drunkenness, and even the shell coins used for "transaction" had all turned into bubbles the instant they were used, the Goddess of Wealth was suddenly terrified and instinctively wanted to retreat.

However, after delaying for just a moment, someone who had drunk his fill of 【Immortal in Wine】 had successfully rushed to her close range.

Having reached a distance where he could act, Li Ang, whose vision was slightly double, subconsciously followed the Kingdom Police Combat Arts he had practiced bitterly for two days, and blocked the arm the Goddess of Wealth held across her front.

Then, flipping his wrist to lock her shoulder, striking her face with his head, hooking her feet with his foot—three moves executed in one breath, instantly destroying the Goddess of Wealth's balance, causing her to fall backward, and finally, following the killing move taught by the female police officer, squinting his blurry drunken eyes, he forcefully kicked the vital area of the chest and abdomen exposed when the Goddess of Wealth fell!

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

"Buzz..."

Accompanied by the Goddess of Wealth's scream and an extremely familiar humming sound, a mechanical prompt suddenly sounded in the ears of the drunken-eyed Li Ang.

【Launched an extremely ungentlemanly fierce attack on a key part of an opposite-sex true god, you have successfully activated the hidden Golden Badge "Too Bad There Wasn't"】

?!!
