Chapter 466: Good Intentions Go Unrewarded, the Holy Church Army's Killing Intent

The professionals being besieged by the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster suddenly noticed that the cluster's tentacles had stopped moving, and a layer of white substance had appeared on them.

They felt a significant relief of pressure at that moment.

The leading few professionals shouted loudly, "Seize the chance, counterattack!"

They began to devote all their effort against the Flying Fish Monsters, launching a fierce assault.

At the same time, the Flying Fish Monsters sensed that the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster was under attack, and a large number of them surged onto the Sea surface, seeking trouble for Jiang Chen.

This move further eased the professionals' pressure.

The professionals fought back with everything; among them, three who were above Level 80 fully surrounded the Flying Fish Lord.

Even when facing a Level‑80 Flying Fish Lord, they had to give their all to contend.

These professionals came from the same faction and wore identical attire.

They were able to endure for so long under the onslaught of thousands of Flying Fish Monsters and the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster, demonstrating their formidable combat power.

Now that the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster's harassment had ceased, their combat power erupted fully.

A single Flying Fish was slain and fell.

The Flying Fish Lord unleashed a skill, with lightning booming.

All Flying Fish, under the Lord's command, darted back and forth.

Their bodies themselves are the most powerful weapons.

The clash between the two sides instantly entered a scorching phase.

The Flying Fish Lord seemed somewhat impatient, continuously emitting sharp screams.

The professionals besieging the Flying Fish Lord suddenly realized something and shouted, "Bad, someone's killing the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster. Team Three, go down and check."

"Alright!"

Immediately several responded; ignoring the Flying Fish Monsters, they flew straight downward.

Just as they were about to plunge into the water, Jiang Chen flew out of the water

and emerged.

In Jiang Chen's hands he was holding the massive corpse of the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster.

In just a few minutes, Jiang Chen easily slashed the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster to death.

At that moment the Flying Fish Lord let out a scream, and, surrounded by flashing lightning, turned and left.

All the Flying Fish instantly fled toward the distance at breakneck speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster, having been killed, realized the danger.

The instinct to survive made it flee without looking back.

Jiang Chen sighed lightly, "That was a quick escape."

Although he could have stopped it, it was unnecessary.

"Don't pursue!"

The leader shouted, turning his attention toward Jiang Chen.

Their objective this time was not the Flying Fish Monsters, but the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster in Jiang Chen's hands.

The leader's gaze was cold and lingering on Jiang Chen, with a slight hint of surprise.

"Level 52? Seems the level was hidden."

He could not possibly believe that a Level‑52 person could kill the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster.

Moreover, how could a Level‑52 individual even enter the Lower Space?

Nevertheless, since Jiang Chen could slay the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster, they still harbored some respect for his strength.

He looked around and saw no one else; he was unsure whether Jiang Chen's companions were hidden underwater.

He whispered two words to his teammate, then a pair of tiger‑eyes fixed on Jiang Chen, their gaze fierce, "Divine Dragon Person, why are you snatching our BOSS."

Jiang Chen recognized these people as members of the Holy Supervision Church; their clothing was distinctive and easy to identify.

The Holy Supervision Church and the Shenlong Empire had a rather lukewarm relationship—neither good nor bad.

They rarely had major conflicts, and they also never had much interaction.

Jiang Chen didn't like his stare, "I thought you were under siege, so I offered to help."

Although Jiang Chen was speaking the truth, he

clearly didn't believe, "Divine Dragon Person, we are a Holy Supervision Church squad; I am Saweis, and we came to hunt the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster."

"Since you acted out of goodwill, let's call this off."

"If you return the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster to us, we won't blame you, and you will also gain the friendship of our Holy Supervision Church."

As he spoke, he exuded an overbearing aura, as if he had Jiang Chen cornered.

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed at his words, "On what grounds?"

Saweis's voice grew deeper, "Divine Dragon Person, we discovered the BOSS first; you shouldn't have acted."

"Give us the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster."

If at the start he hadn't said that, Jiang Chen might still have been kind and shared some of the algae with them.

But now,

Jiang Chen's voice grew even colder, "So what? If I hadn't acted, you wouldn't have been able to defeat the Flying Fish swarm and the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster; you might have died in the end."

"You should be grateful to me, grateful that I saved you."

At that moment someone whispered a few words into Saweis's ear; Saweis nodded lightly, "Divine Dragon Person, we are fully prepared; this time we are determined to win, and now I give you one final chance."

"Give us the Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster, and I can decide to give you one‑tenth."

"Otherwise."

The threatening implication was already crystal clear.

While speaking, some of his teammates had already silently made preparations.

Jiang Chen said, "Or what? Kill me?"

Saweis tightened his grip on the Knight Sword, and the Shield in his other hand began to glow faintly.

He is a profession unique to the Holy Supervision Church, the Holy Church Army.

Combining the advantages of the Knight and Warrior, it has the Knight's extremely high defense,

and the Warrior's attack power.

In many people's eyes, the Holy Church Army is an almost perfect profession.

His gaze was solemn, his voice like a thunderclap, "Hand over the Wind‑Thunder Algae Squad, or you won't be able to leave."

As the words fell, more than fifty people under his command immediately flew over and surrounded Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen felt nothing and let them surround him.

In his mind he found it somewhat amusing, wondering where these people got the confidence as if they could easily take him down.

He truly was trying to help, and hadn't thought of snatching their BOSS.

If they had been reasonable at first, spoken kindly, and shown gratitude,

perhaps I could still be a good person; sharing half with them wouldn't be a big issue.

After all, my Electric Element immunity had already reached 80%, touching the limit.

The Thunder Algae wasn't of much use to me.

But now, they not only aren't grateful, they blame me for taking their BOSS.

In that case, I'll just consider it as if I stole it.

Not only stealing, perhaps even killing.

Jiang Chen sneered, "So finally you show your true colors."

Saweis took a deep breath, "The Holy Supervision Church and your Divine Dragon hold no grudge. I'll give you one final chance: hand over the Wind‑Thunder Algae Squad and we'll let you go."

As he spoke, his gaze subtly scanned the surroundings.

Jiang Chen found it funny, "Don't look for help; I have none. Have you ever considered that if I alone can kill the Wind‑Thunder Algae Squad, then tell me, can I alone kill you?"

Jiang Chen has killed people, and many of them.

But there's no need; I won't act, and if I do, I won't leave a single survivor.

At this moment, murderous aura surged from the Domain Godstone, soaring skyward like a black column of smoke

Even the thunder and lightning in the Wind‑Thunder Sea retreated at this moment.

Saweis's face changed dramatically; he realized he had missed something.

He had always assumed Jiang Chen had allies hidden underwater.

But he never considered how powerful Jiang Chen would be if he acted alone.

Now thinking of it, Saweis let out a cold sweat.

Feeling Jiang Chen's murderous aura rising skyward again, he instinctively shivered.

"Run!" he shouted, turning to leave.

It was already too late.

He saw a layer of white bone appear on everyone's bodies,

and at that instant, he could not move.

Except his mind and eyes, everything else was bound.

Massive energy circulated within him; as a Holy Church Army member, he possessed a skill that could break the restraints.

His whole body glowed; breaking the restraints took less than a second.

It wasn't just him; other practitioners were the same.

Breaking the restraints wasn't hard; what came next was.

In less than a second, his life or death could be decided.

A flash of Red Light passed, and he saw a small red sword with shackles appear above each person's head; everything slowed down.

Then countless Skeletons filled the air.

Skeletons surrounded him in every direction, each with a terrifying, fierce visage.

Each Skeleton stood upon an Aura.

At some point, blazing flames ignited on his body, a layer of ice formed on his skin, and thousands of bolts of thunder rained down above his head.

He then saw with his own eyes Skeletons swinging axes at him, the axes shimmering with Red Light.

Skill: Super Limit Defense!

Although immobilized, Saweis at the last moment still unleashed the strongest defensive

skill.

Super Limit Defense is an upgraded version of the Knight's Limit Defense, attainable after Level 80.

Super Limit Defense lasts for 60 seconds.

Battle after battle taught Saweis that within those 60 seconds, he is invincible.

Even those powerful BOSSes cannot harm him a single bit within those 60 seconds.

It wasn't just him; several other Holy Church Army members in the team also activated Super Limit Defense.

There were three Holy Church Army members above Level 80 accompanying him.

In the Super Limit Defense state, he would not be affected by any negative status.

Even the prior negative statuses vanished at that moment.
