Chapter 351: Betrayal
Lin Chao is a Swordsman, but not an ordinary Swordsman.
After advancing to Legendary, under a single sword strike, the female succubus was simply no match for him.
In an instant, Lin Chao subdued the Succubus Queen, his gaze fixed upon the battlefield below.
The white-hot scene had already vanished, and the players held an absolute advantage.
However, there were corpses everywhere.
The number of living players was only a little over a hundred.
It was foreseeable that the battle had been extremely tragic.
Lin Chao looked down at the field, his voice rolling like thunder: "In this battle, whoever slays the most demons, I will bestow a great gift upon."
Below, the surviving players heard Lin Chao's words and laughed one after another.
"Long live the Manager!"
"A great gift, it wouldn't be some kind of gift pack, would it!"
Ye Di was covered in blood, his hand holding the long saber feeling sore and numb: "I want this great gift!"
Heiniu also rarely revealed a look of desire: "Ye Di, this time I won't let you have it."
Shengtian also laughed: "Until the very end, who knows who will win?"
The remaining players laughed wildly and shouted as they charged toward the remaining demons.
Compared to those hideous-faced demons, they looked even more like demons.
……
Koya City.
It was in chaos; a blood-red color appeared above the Heavenly Vault, the entire Koya City was in a mess, and violent incidents were happening constantly.
Those rats in the sewers, as well as the followers of the Evil God Church, and adventurers of the chaotic alignment, all took this opportunity to start causing trouble.
They had not yet realized that the current Koya City was mired in immense danger; if that Legendary female succubus were to come, the entire city would be turned into a purgatory.
At this moment, in the manor, the strong had gathered.
City Lord Morei's face was pale; he looked at the figure in the middle of the manor, his face full of wariness and fear: "Beisha, you actually defected to the Abyss!"
He understood now; the plucking of the eyeballs was not for beauty at all, but for some kind of ritual.
The current Beisha had already transformed into a succubus, and was even more alluring.
Priest Suolun of the Wealth Church looked at Beisha, a flash of greed appearing on his face, but there was also wariness.
"Lady Beisha, the Abyss is a dead end. Now, give up your struggle and repent before the Goddess with me; the Goddess will forgive you."
Beisha looked at the few people in front of her, a ferocious smile on her face: "You nobles, accustomed to living in luxury, do you think... you won't die?"
Nobles have the rules of nobles.
Generally, when a war occurs between the territories of two nobles, even if one side is defeated and captured, they are rarely killed; as long as a ransom is paid, they can return.
The nobles of this world have always lived in luxury.
Especially in a remote place like Koya City, where there are no powerful professionals, the nobles and the Church control the channels of advancement, so the nobles are true local emperors.
Beisha's expression was ferocious, her gaze cold; she suddenly struck.
Light of the Radiant Sun!
A massive pillar of light soared into the air, striking directly onto a Priest of the Wealth Church.
That High-Grade priest had an expression of disbelief on his face.
The pillar of light landed on him, and he died on the spot.
Beisha glanced at that priest, a look of disdain on her face: "You were the one who played the most perversely."
The Wealth Church had three priests in Koya City, and two of them had had relations with Beisha.
The old man she had just slain was the one who played the wildest, and also the person Beisha disliked the most.
Seeing the fall of his companion, Priest Suolun finally began to feel fear.
He looked at Beisha, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Morei was also somewhat afraid.
Jianlong'er, the new priest of the Wealth Church, looked at Beisha, his eyes full of rage: "Blaspheming the Temple, slaying a Temple priest!
Under the gaze of the Goddess of Wealth, you have nowhere to run!"
"Hehe, is that so?" Beisha laughed instead of getting angry, "However... I'm afraid you won't see the Goddess avenge you.
After I slay you all, I will follow the Succubus Lady to harvest all the souls in Koya City and offer them to the Succubus Queen.
By then, I will be the chosen one of the Succubus Queen; what can the Goddess of Wealth do to me?"
The Goddess of Wealth was only a deity with Medium Divine Power.
While the Succubus Queen was a deity with Strong Divine Power.
Therefore, Beisha was fearless, having already chosen her own future.
"Succubus, there are other succubi?" Morei was even more terrified.
The current Beisha had already reached the peak of a High-level Professional; among the strong present, no one was Beisha's match.
Behind Beisha, there was still a Succubus Lady; that must surely be a Legendary-level succubus!
A Legendary-level female succubus, combined with that Blood Holy Grail, is the entire Koya City... really going to fall?
"I have always been kind, City Lord Morei, Priest Suolun, if you two are willing to pledge loyalty to me.
I am willing to spare your lives and take you to the Abyss.
As for the others present... they won't have such good luck."
Beisha looked at the High-level Professionals present, a wild smile on her face.
Demons are best at playing with the human heart, let alone a female succubus.
"Demon, stop trying to bewitch people!" Priest Jianlong'er roared loudly, "We High-level Professionals joining forces are enough to Slay you!"
"Suolun, Morei, Kangping, and everyone else, let us join forces and Slay this woman before the other succubi arrive!"
The other High-level Professionals present were moved, watching Beisha with vigilance.
A conflicted expression flashed across Morei's face.
Beside him, Priest Suolun's expression also changed slightly; in the end, the two actually rebelled and walked directly to Beisha's side.
Now, the situation was lost.
The entire Koya City would become ruins.
They were High-level Professionals, after all; even if they fell into the Abyss, they would still have a place.
They did not want to die.
They were still thinking about advancing to Legendary.
"Priest Suolun, do you intend to betray the Goddess?" Jianlong'er looked at Suolun, his face filled with anger.
Among the High-level Professionals present, the strength of Priest Suolun and Morei could be counted in the top three.
If these two defected, the others would be no match for Beisha at all.
"Hahaha, Morei, Suolun, your choice is not wrong," Beisha laughed wildly.
She dared to stir up trouble in Koya City alone because she had thoroughly grasped the personalities of Suolun and Morei.
The two stood high above in Koya City, acting imperiously, but in reality, their courage was smaller than anyone's; they were cowardly and incompetent.
With just a few words, she manipulated these two into turning against Koya City.
Morei stood beside Beisha and looked at Jianlong'er and the others: "Lady Beisha, let's finish this quickly; otherwise, if experts from other cities arrive, I fear there may be danger."
Morei quickly shifted his role and stood on Beisha's side.
Since he had already chosen to defect and fall into the Abyss.
Then, he should quickly resolve the matters of Koya City.
Otherwise, if any accidents occurred, he would likely be unable to escape death.
"City Lord Morei is right," Suolun chimed in from the side, "Leave that Jianlong'er to me; he has always pointed fingers at me, and I have long found him an eyesore."
Seeing this scene, Beisha laughed out loud: "Nobles are indeed the filthiest people in the world; even more demonic than demons, and more deserving of living in the Abyss."
Beisha's background was not good; she was the illegitimate daughter of a minor noble.
Her mother was a maid in the noble's household, defiled by the noble after he was drunk, and gave birth to her.
She did not enjoy good treatment in the household either.
The noble's wife bullied her, and her half-brother humiliated her.
A miserable childhood made her hate nobles immensely and filled her with hatred for humanity.
With a twisted personality, she threw her younger sister, who had suffered the same fate, into a water well, which attracted the attention of a succubus.
Jianlong'er looked at the three people before him, his face filled with fury.
But his heart was filled with despair.
When Morei and Suolun stood on their side, they still had a chance to resist.
Now, they had no chance at all.
Just City Lord Morei and Priest Suolun alone were enough to give them a hard time, not to mention adding Beisha.
"Do not resist anymore."
"Your souls can become the after-dinner dessert for the Succubus Queen; this is the glory of your lives."
Beisha spoke, her graceful body walking forward, carrying endless charm.
At this moment, she had victory in her grasp, yet she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Why had the Succubus Lady not arrived yet?
Could it be that something went wrong with the Space Rift, and the Succubus Lady was delayed?
With this thought, Beisha walked forward, a crazed smile on her face: "Let blood dye this city red."
A powerful aura radiated from Beisha.
Countless amounts of blood flowed out from the Blood Holy Grail, and among it, human eyeballs kept rolling out, looking terrifying.
Jianlong'er felt a great sense of impending danger; he took out a spell scroll, his face wearing an expression of no turning back: "For the Goddess!"
Seeing this, the other High-level Professionals understood that at this moment, only resistance offered a glimmer of survival.
Shadow Displacement!
Dance of Dazzling Light!
Lucky Coin!
The many High-level Professionals immediately used their strongest skills.
The tycoon of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was a Thief, most skilled in assassination, and in that instant, he stepped into the shadows.
The noble representative Kaixiu cast Dance of Dazzling Light, and his sword-wielding figures suddenly appeared on the field.
Finally, Priest Jianlong'er cast the signature technique of the Wealth Church, Lucky Coin.
This skill was blessed by the Goddess of Luck and carried the attribute of good fortune; it could only be mastered by priests who had not mastered Temple Knight skills.
"Hmph!" Suolun frowned and also quickly cast his own skill.
Beisha strolled through the crowd, a brilliant smile in her eyes.
Blood flowed, and eyeballs rolled.
Boom!
With one strike, the tycoon of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance fell from the shadows, his mouth stained with wounds.
His dagger was covered in crawling eyeballs.
Kaixiu's longsword also shattered in an instant.
Only Jianlong'er's Lucky Coin remained in operation, suppressing Priest Suolun.
"Do not make futile struggles." Blood flowed from the Blood Holy Grail in Beisha's hand, "Priest Jianlong'er, it is truly a pity, your strength is very great."
"However, your soul, Her Majesty the Queen will surely like it very much; otherwise, I would really like to keep you."
"Humans disdain to be in league with the Abyss." The eyes with which Jianlong'er looked at Suolun were full of contempt.
"If there were an opportunity, I dare believe that ninety percent of humans would want to defect to the Abyss; not defecting is merely because they aren't qualified enough!" Morei said loudly from the side, bolstering his own courage.
Just at this moment, a voice came over.
"Am I... qualified?"
An upright figure appeared; the youth wore exquisite court attire, with a flashy but impractical longsword hanging at his waist, and the youth's face was handsome and delicate.
At this moment, however, he exuded a sense of mystery.
The suddenly appearing youth left many people present in doubt.
Especially Jianlong'er; he could not recognize who this youth before him was at all, nor could he see through his strength.
However, given the age of this suddenly appearing youth, his strength certainly would not be very high.
And on the face of City Lord Morei, a look of shock appeared: "Prince Lin."
Prince Lin, how did he come here?
The others were also shocked and confused in succession.
This person who suddenly appeared was actually the Royal Family's Nine Prince Lin.
Wasn't he unloved by the Royal Family and therefore assigned here?
Beisha looked at Lin Chao, her eyes carrying a trace of shock: "You... how did you come!"
Prince Lin, wasn't he at Tieshi Mountain?
At this time, shouldn't Tieshi Mountain have been slaughtered to the last by the succubus?
Shouldn't the succubus have already arrived at Koya City by now?
"Koya City is my territory, why can I not come?" Lin Chao had a smile in his eyes.
When his strength was weak, he did not think about various power struggles to take Koya City back into his hands.
Instead, he accumulated strength and laid out plans for players, only then reaching the current Legendary Realm.
In a world like this, strength is everything.
Now, he is a Legendary, and Slaying Morei to take back control of Koya City has become very simple for him.
Hearing Lin Chao's words, Beisha laughed loudly: "Your fief... will soon be gone."
"Although I don't know why you suddenly appeared here, today... you will be buried along with Koya City!"
Beisha struck instantly.
Dizziness!
A powerful Dizziness spell landed on Lin Chao.
However, Lin Chao felt nothing at all.
Having stepped into the Legendary Realm, he could completely exempt himself from this level of Dizziness.
At this time, Jianlong'er shouted from the side: "Prince, be careful! City Lord Morei and Priest Suolun have rebelled; they possess a Legendary Dharma Artifact, and there may even be a Legendary-level succubus behind them."
The purpose of Jianlong'er speaking like this was to hope that Prince Lin could escape and tell the experts of the Royal Family about the situation here.
Prince Lin displayed strength that did not match his appearance, suggesting that there might be a Royal Family expert behind him; this was their only chance to break the deadlock.
Lin Chao nodded in response, then looked at Beisha: "This is my fief, and order shall be the only watchword here, so... all of you go to your deaths."
Lin Chao looked at Beisha, Morei, and Suolun, and he also drew the longsword hanging at his waist.
The longsword was very ornate and slender, looking like a mere decoration that could never reach a battlefield.
Yet, in Lin Chao's hand, its edge was like cold light.
Slay!
Lin Chao did not use any sword techniques.
With the accumulation from his previous lives, when he used a sword, perhaps even just an Ordinary parry, slash, or thrust was stronger than those powerful sword moves.
Under one strike, Suolun's head fell to the ground; his eyes widened, and until his death, he did not understand why this prince he had not valued at all possessed such powerful strength.
The others present were all incomparably shocked.
Priest Suolun was a genuine High-level Professional who had mastered several powerful spells.
Prince Lin... how could he Slay him with one sword strike?
This kind of strength... could it be Legendary?
"Priest Jianlong'er, I have Slain Priest Suolun; will the Wealth Church blame me?" At this time, Lin Chao looked at Jianlong'er with a smile in his eyes.
Priest Jianlong'er paused; the shock in his heart had not yet dissipated, until he was reminded by Lin Chao's words.
"Suolun betrayed the Goddess, he deserves to be killed by everyone!" Priest Jianlong'er said loudly, "On behalf of the Wealth Church, I thank His Highness the Prince for eliminating the traitor for the Church."
Lin Chao smiled.
Currently, his strength was still very weak, so naturally, he would not fall out with the Church.
Even if he did fall out, it would not be shown on the surface; doing some things in the dark would suffice.
Lin Chao looked at Morei and Beisha and spoke softly.
"September 13th, 3213 of the New Continent Era: City Lord Morei, Wealth Church traitor Suolun, and the fallen one Beisha colluded with Abyss demons to cause chaos in Koya City; Wealth Church Priest Jianlong'er united with the forces in the city to Slay them one by one!"
After Lin Chao finished speaking, he struck with his sword again, showing no mercy.
As for the matter of the Legendary succubus on Tieshi Mountain, Lin Chao naturally did not mention it.
"You are courting death!" Beisha was furious, clutching the Blood Holy Grail as her entire body turned into a blood-person, "Behind me is a Legendary succubus."
"Is that so?" Lin Chao's voice was very soft, as if it still carried a hint of mockery.
The sword struck, Morei died, and Beisha perished.
