Chapter 729: The Departing Barton

"Barton!"

"Joey Barton!"

An extreme sense of crisis surged into Xia De's heart, and then everyone saw it, saw the thin black giant wearing a cloak rising from behind Joey Barton.

The huge shadow covered everyone on the ice surface. At this moment, it seemed that the world was completely silent. No one could see clearly what was inside the cloak, but everyone could see that black scythe.

"Is this the true power of the Chosen One of Death..."

The huge pitch-black scythe swept horizontally towards the ice surface slowly. It was clearly so slow, but time seemed to stop because of the waving of the scythe. Because he had witnessed true death, Xia De understood that this was a strike containing the meaning of death and ending. Any living creature, as long as it was hit, would immediately step into death.

"Death Scythe (Author's Note)."

Joey Barton sighed lightly, and the pitch-black light mark swept across everyone on the ice surface. The ice surface just shattered into slag powder because it was touched by the scythe, huge waves surged, and death would end everything.

"Balance!"

And in that black light and shadow, dark golden light rushed into the sky. Iluna, who was floating with a golden balance behind her and was furious, threw that golden thunder long gun under the night sky.

The shining golden light broke the lake surface, and the blooming thunder seemed to be ending everything.

The sunlight gun hit Joey Barton directly. The latter took a step back and retreated into the white fog of the Rift that had opened. The white fog dissolved the thunder.

"Space Stability Halo!"

A hand appeared behind Barton, and Xia De grabbed his thick right arm:

That deformed young face turned to look at Xia De, and instantly turned into a completely black left eye, looking at Xia De.

【Instant death attack... no, even if you didn't pass the judgment, you wouldn't die, he held back.】

The soul-chilling feeling in an instant made Xia De stiffen in place. Joey Barton stood on the remaining ice surface, turned around, and pulled the clown towards the Rift passage that had opened again. But the pitch-black vortex appeared behind him at this moment:

"Sunlight Gun!"

Using the dark talent of the Chosen One, Iluna's right hand passed through the vortex, and the sunlight gun hit Joey Barton's back directly. Xia De, who was at close range, was splashed by the thunder, but also saw the golden long gun pierce through his body.

"This..."

The entrance to the Rift disappeared, taking away the clown and Barton, whose life or death was unknown. Xia De, who had recovered from the cold feeling of death, went to look at the lake surface again. Only ice slag was floating in the thin fog, and the sparkling waves under the moonlight witnessed everything just now.

"He definitely didn't die... terrible, Iluna!"

Xia De, who was stepping on the water surface with the spell 【Water Walking】, ran to the center of the lake in a panic. He saw the golden light in the lake, immediately reached out into the lake, and fished Iluna out of the water.

She grabbed Xia De's hand, and her wet head emerged from the water. The seventeen-year-old girl coughed a few times, didn't hesitate to rub off her shoes under the water, and then wrapped her hands around Xia De's neck, who was bending over, and stood up by stepping on Xia De's feet.

The golden balance behind her slowly dissipated, her brown long hair was still dripping, and under the wet eyelashes, there was anger in her eyes:

"Oh, I thought he could become a person of the Church, he actually took action against us!"

Representing the power of "balance," the golden balance blocked most of the power of the 【Death Scythe】. The few people of the 【Truth Society】 were all wiped out, and at this moment, their corpses had sunk into the water, while the others of the Sun Church had all fallen into a short coma and were lifted out of the water by Iluna's controlled water.

"It's good that you're okay."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, took Mia the cat out of his pocket, and the cat looked around. Then Xia De took out a towel and handed it to Iluna, but she shook her head and didn't take it:

"Joey Barton definitely didn't die, I'm very sure of this. Last time at the Crow Club, didn't he look very normal? How did he suddenly go crazy? I originally thought he could become our fellow traveler."

The drenched Iluna gritted her teeth and asked. She looked really angry. The water droplets on her hair fell on little Mia's head. The timid cat immediately shrank back into Xia De's arms, but soon climbed out again, looking up at the dripping broken hair.

"People always have many thoughts. But the good news is, at least this Chosen One didn't join the camp of the 【Truth Society】."

Xia De stood on the water surface and helped Iluna stand firm. Those white feet were stepping on his shoes. The two hugged each other and turned to look at the moon in the distance of the lake:

"The plan of our fortune-teller friend really went wrong again. The first candidate fled to the Rift. The following things are probably going to be very troublesome."

Iluna said softly, the moonlight shining on her face, her tone becoming inexplicably much softer.

"That is just a lamb lost on the path of life. He confused life and death, thinking that he could let the dead return to life. But he didn't know that letting the dead return to life is not that simple. Even if promised by God, he has to bear the mutual torture of a thousand years."

Xia De thought of Grace and Helen, and he sighed:

"Let the Church know everything, and search for Barton in the Rift with all their strength. Now that it has reached the last step, it should be over. If he really passes through the extremely fragile Rift and pulls back a dead soul from true death, then no matter which passage is used, I'm afraid the collapse of the Rift is not something the Church's divine ritual can stop. Living people, why are they always keen on bringing the dead back?"

"Because the living always have too many regrets, just like you went to save your priest friend... Next time we meet, I won't let him leave like I did today."

Iluna gritted her teeth and said:

"Even if his talent is outstanding and he hasn't held a ritual yet, he can unearth such terrifying power, but if we fight fairly one-on-one, the one who will die is definitely him."

She was holding Xia De's waist just now, but now she hugged Xia De's neck and looked into his eyes:

"Detective, just wait and see. This time, I definitely won't let you down."

Clearly usually very shy, but in the angry mood at this moment and the atmosphere under the moon, Iluna Beiyasi took the initiative to kiss Xia De.

The girl's lips were also wet. The two stood on the quiet lake surface, and the moonlight shone from between the valleys. If there weren't a few unconscious people floating around, this scene would probably be more romantic.

"She clearly still had the energy to keep her colleagues from sinking, why did she fall into the water instead?"
