Chapter 2690

In front of the shattered Gate of the Dark Prison, the air seemed to freeze at this moment. Fresh blood dripped down Douglas's chin; this was caused by the chaotic energy vortex. If it weren't for Douglas's strong strength, he would have been swept and shattered inside by now.

The reason Douglas appeared here was simple: after the Dark Prison stopped merging with the original world, within a few short hours, all the Dark Prison cracks were closed, and the entire Dark Prison was isolated from the outside world, returning to a closed state. Only the Ancient God faction possessed the method to reach the outside world.

Negotiating with that Ancient God was obviously impossible. If the Dark Demons and Ghosts wanted to enter and exit the Dark Prison freely, they could only rely on Soul. As a believer of the Ancient God, Soul naturally also mastered the method of opening the passage.

The Dark Prison at this time had been completely controlled by the Ancient God, and Soul had contributed significantly to this, having already become the Ancient God's proxy.

Douglas and Soul were mortal enemies, and the Dark Demons and Ghosts in the Dark Prison had all defected to the Ancient God faction, which made Douglas very eager to leave the Dark Prison.

Just at this time, Douglas thought of the Gate of the Dark Prison. As one of the former three giants of the Dark Prison, he naturally knew that as long as the Gate of the Dark Prison was opened from the inside, one could return to the outside world. He was not a Dark Demon or Ghost; after reaching the outside world, he could find ways to develop his forces or gather old friends to launch revenge against Soul and the Ancient God.

Douglas had been studying the inside of the Gate of the Dark Prison for some time, but unfortunately, trying to destroy the Gate of the Dark Prison from the inside was almost impossible. Just when he was somewhat depressed, a loud noise came from the Gate of the Dark Prison, and it shattered rapidly.

Before Douglas could react, he had already been sucked into the chaotic energy vortex, which led to the scene before his eyes.

Su Xiao pulled out the Checking Zhan Long Shan. The situation before his eyes was simple and clear: the enemy of an enemy is a friend? This point did not work at this time because he was an enemy to both Douglas and the Ancient God.

"So, this is the mission? I... cannot accept it. I bear the Elder surname and am born to be a person who controls thunder."

Black lightning surged on Douglas, and a long blade formed entirely of fragments was quickly constructed in his hand. This blade was about 1.3 meters long, the blade was four fingers wide, and it had no handguard.

"Kuku Lin, do you know, I no longer have the qualifications to use my real name. My family, seven generations have been hunters, and every generation has been hunting Dark Demons and Ghosts. When I was born, the hunting instinct was carved into my bones. Seven generations, hunting 1,752 Dark Demons and 68 Ghosts—what was the result? I watched my parents being executed by the East Valley Federation. At that time, the Gate of the Dark Prison was already sealed, and they were no longer needed.

When you joined the Watcher Guild, you used the recommendation letter from the Elder family, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Douglas, with a face full of cracks, smiled because he knew he would die here today.

"Hyena Fox·Yas is a smart person; only by being needed does one have value. If the Dark Demons were really wiped out, what would happen? Peace? Hahaha, the greed of the human heart... is endless!"

Douglas disappeared from his spot abruptly. After dragging a black electric arc, he slashed at Su Xiao with his blade.

Clang!

The blades struck each other, and Douglas gripped the hilt with both hands. At this moment, his aura was like a combination of a beast and a gentleman.

Dozens of meters away, Button Sunny stared at Douglas. She had already determined that this mysterious person of unknown origin was very strong. This was clearly an opportunity—an opportunity to escape.

Thinking of these, Button Sunny's heart became hot. She even wanted to shout: 'Go for it, mysterious person of unknown origin, defeat this monster.'

With a 'Zzz' sound, the black electric arc was torn apart. The Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand rose, the muscles on his right arm bulged slightly, and four slashes faster than afterimages were unleashed.

Douglas's melee combat was not weak. With the ringing and impact spreading, after he blocked Su Xiao's four slashes continuously, the long blade in his hand split, forming four short blades, slashing toward Su Xiao's neck, left arm, abdomen, and lower leg respectively.

Just as Su Xiao was about to be slashed, he activated Dragon Shadow Flash, entered the spatial penetration state, and kicked straight.

After the four short blades slashed through Su Xiao's body, he immediately detached from the spatial penetration state and kicked Douglas straight in the abdomen.

Button Sunny, who was watching the battle from the side, saw this scene. Her cheek twitched, and she mourned for this mysterious person for three seconds in her heart.

Boom!!

An air explosion spread out, and Douglas's body arched like a shrimp. While in mid-air, his eyes widened, large bloodshot veins burst in the whites of his eyes, and with a 'Wah', he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. The clothing around his lower back shattered in a circle; because the impact was too strong, these shattered clothes turned directly into fragments.

After Douglas groaned, he flew backward into the chaotic energy vortex. Just as he sank into the pitch-black energy vortex, fine wounds appeared all over his body, as if he were about to be swept and shattered.

Douglas's eyes were full of disbelief. Before, he could still tangle with Su Xiao for a while; although he was taught a lesson quite miserably, he could be considered to have held Su Xiao back. But now, in just one encounter, he was almost beaten into a grandson.

Clearly, Douglas didn't notice one point: last time they fought, Su Xiao was severely holding back. Douglas's strength was not as good as Hao Gui's, and if the two fought to the death, the strength gap would be even greater. If Hao Gui hadn't fought with his fists, he could indeed have fought Su Xiao, and the outcome would depend on the situation; after all, Hao Gui's strength was stronger than the Tiger Bee Lord·Taimesha from the previous world.

Previously, Su Xiao needed to let Douglas escape, escape back to the Dark Prison, in order to track the location of the source of fusion.

Just as he sank into the black energy vortex, Douglas had the feeling of being swept and shattered, but in the next instant, he felt a pulling force, and a metal wire pulled him out of the energy vortex.

Douglas was full of astonishment, but soon, he knew what was going on. Just as he came out of the energy vortex, he was kicked back in again.

After repeating this five times, Su Xiao's left arm pulled, and Douglas flew out of the energy vortex, fell to the ground with a 'Plop', and stopped moving.

"Let me, die like a warrior."

Douglas raised his arm tremblingly. Su Xiao squatted down, smashed down with the blade hilt in his hand, and with a 'Boom', Douglas's vision fell into pitch-black darkness.

I don't know how much time passed, Douglas's eyes gradually opened. He immediately smelled the scent produced by the combination of formalin and medicine. He was lying on a hospital bed at this time, surrounded by various instruments.

"You're awake?"

A somewhat hoarse but magnetic voice came. Douglas turned his eyeballs to look at the source of the sound; he could only move his eyeballs all over his body now.

After turning his gaze, Douglas saw a doctor wearing a crow mask.

"As expected of the direct descendant of the Elder family, I even thought you were dead for sure."

The Bird-Beak Doctor stood beside the hospital bed, reached out, and tapped Douglas's eyeball with his finger, seemingly confirming something.

"The ghost stored in your body has already been stripped out for you. Strange, why was she willing to consume her soul to help you regenerate your body."

Hearing the Bird-Beak Doctor's words, Douglas, lying on the hospital bed, glared angrily.

"No need to thank me, I helped you dispose of that ghost. Storing a ghost in your body is harmful to your health."

"Ah!!"

Douglas on the hospital bed roared. He could actually shout out loud, which could be called a medical miracle.

"Just kidding, she's still there."

The Bird-Beak Doctor picked up a glass bottle from the side. In the solution inside, a very small phantom was swimming.

Seeing this swimming phantom, Douglas's eyes were both gratified and painful. Gratified because this ghost didn't die, and painful because this ghost was bound to die.

After the Bird-Beak Doctor confirmed that Douglas was fine, he picked up a syringe from the side and injected the medicinal liquid inside into Douglas's arm.

"Welcome to the Watcher Guild, person favored by the world. We have been looking for you for a long time."
