Chapter 753

The middle-aged man who looked like a deformed teenager drooped his eyelids slightly and breathed out deeply with his nose:

"Yes, I have nothing worth remembering in my life; I only have her. Having seen so much death, experienced so many things, everything seems to be destined."

Dark pus flowed from the palm of Xia De's right hand:

"All mortals must die, you should also understand this point."

Joey Barton's eyes seemed to be shining at this moment; Xia De had the determination to witness the epic of the Sixth Era, and he also had the determination to find his beloved:

"Yes, all mortals must die, all things must end. So, if Midhillburg is destroyed because of this, then, this is what fate has destined. If millions of people die here, then, this is their destined death."

"Since that's the case, Joey Barton, we are no longer friends; I will definitely stop you."

"Mr. Watson, yes, if you want to stop me, then we are enemies! I really appreciate you, but the road we walk is not the same..."

Before the words fell, black light traces slashed down from the fog. Don't know when, the huge figure in a black robe had appeared in the thick fog behind Joey Barton. The death scythe slashed down in the posture of bringing the end of all things, and even the surrounding fog became sparse because of this.

This blow, he didn't hold back at all. But the pitch-black light that seemed to be able to pierce everything slashed down, but couldn't touch the cold and solid earth in the Interstice.

Xia De held high the pitch-black arm already wrapped in pus, tightly grasping the falling scythe in his hand:

"Sorry, I am immune to instant death attacks."

The demon power slowly dissipated because it touched the scythe. Finally, it became Xia De holding the huge scythe with his bare hands; it couldn't take Xia De to the end of life, because Xia De had long understood the power of false immortality:

"All deaths are false to me; except for myself, no one can bring me death!"

Even if he was the Chosen One, Joey Barton couldn't let the death phantom behind him appear for a long time, and as the scythe disappeared, Xia De also disappeared into the fog.

That short middle-aged man looked at the thick fog around him vigilantly, and then, dense red light spots appeared in the thick fog. Looking closely, those were semi-transparent Red Butterflies, dancing in the fog, bringing gorgeous colors to this black, white, and gray world.

Dazzling silver light appeared directly in front; as the silver light bloomed, the crossed cross light traces struck directly. A short scythe appeared in Mr. Barton's hand; he tried his best to swing the weapon, the scythe and the silver moon slash collided, and both disappeared at the same time.

At the same time, the sound of wind came from above his head. Xia De, holding the sword with both hands, fell from the sky; Barton didn't have time to counterattack and could only roll on the ground to dodge, but before he could stand straight, pitch-black chains had entangled his feet.

As Xia De, whose right hand expanded into a huge black form again, pulled hard, Joey Barton was thrown into the air by the chains.

Relying on the huge power of the demon, Xia De held high his right hand and swung the chains; the high-speed rotating chains even stirred the surrounding white fog, making a breaking sound.

When Xia De felt that the rotation speed of the chains had reached the limit, he released the restriction on the length of the chains and stopped the swinging action. Joey Barton at the end of the 【Great Sin Chain】 flew toward the edge of the square like a cannonball, hit the wall on the second floor of the gray building head-on, and directly collapsed this building in a dull sound.

"Cough cough~"

Before he could climb up from under the stone slab of the ruins, the chain wrapped around his ankle tightened, and the chain dragged him out of the ruins again. Then a figure appeared in the air, and Xia De, who jumped high, reached down and fell from the sky. In the sound of shaking the ground, he firmly pressed Joey Barton on the ground with his huge right hand, leaving only his head outside the giant hand.

Priest Augustus was right; no matter how bluffing the 【Death Scythe】's "all things die" effect was, the Chosen One Joey Barton was ultimately only a one-ring sorcerer before holding the ritual. In the Interstice dream where soul power was prominent and even demon power assisted, he was not Xia De's opponent at all.

"Mr. Barton, what should leave should leave. Forcing the departed to return can only bring tragedy. Even if there is a god helping mortals escape the punishment of death, mortals have to bear a huge price; there are good examples around me. You are just a mortal, how do you want to bear that price?"

Xia De's pitch-black palm exerted force little by little; Joey Barton looked at this young man with a strange face with a ferocious expression:

"But if you don't try, how can you know the result? Since this damn fate let her leave and let me know the method to bring her back, would I not try?"

His eyeballs were bloodshot, and black fog seeped out from his pores:

"Ah~ ah!"

With a roar, thick black fog erupted from his body. In an instant, the erupted power actually pushed open the demon's palm and even shook Xia De away.

This was not the power of a one-ring sorcerer; Xia De perceived thick whisper elements from that fog; this was the power of the Interstice.

When Xia De climbed up, Joey Barton had already supported the ground and slowly stood up in the ruins of the house. Then his feet left the ground and floated up. The life ring appeared behind him, still one ring, but the spirit rune flashing with spirit light was so abrupt and obvious:

Whisper—【Life-Death Interstice】.

"Can there be such a thing?"

Xia De had a premonition that the situation was very wrong.

"Mr. Watson, please forgive me, wish you rest in peace."

The spirit rune 【Life-Death Interstice】 bloomed with dazzling black-iron-colored spirit light, and a layer of transparent water film that was very difficult to observe was rising from the surroundings, covering the area where the two were.

Clearly the scenery in the field of vision didn't have any changes, but the core spirit rune 【Time-Space】 was reminding Xia De that space was undergoing strange changes. The whisper elements were becoming more intense, and the life ring behind Joey Barton, who was floating in the air with his feet off the ground, was becoming more and more huge, until it expanded to be bigger than any building in the hazy fog.

Core spirit runes 【Death】 【Flying Bird】, one-ring spirit runes 【Graveyard】 【Spirit Calling】 【Black Hand】 【Life-Death Interstice】 【Music】. Seven spirit runes were taller than Xia De, and the expanding and radiating spirit light seemed to be about to spit out energy beams in the next moment.

"Her" reminder came at the right time:

【Outsider, you have entered a "Labyrinth Lock."】

"Labyrinth Lock?"

Xia De finally understood:

"【Life-Death Interstice】 is his Labyrinth Lock? Even if the Chosen One talent is strong, isn't this too exaggerated this time..."

At this time, it was impossible to hide his strength anymore; Xia De's life ring appeared in a corner behind him, and 【The Little Match Girl】 and 【Tree Kiss】 bloomed with spirit light at the same time. Even if he was three-ring, he couldn't fully use the Labyrinth Lock, but at least at this time, snowflakes drifted in the Interstice, and the faint tree canopy rustled, showing the power of the Labyrinth Lock.

Offsetting the other party's power with his own incomplete Labyrinth Lock, but it only made Xia De himself unaffected by negative effects within the other party's Labyrinth Lock.

Compared to that huge life ring, Mr. Barton in the air was like an ant at this time.

He stretched out his right index finger, and the pitch-black light beam shot out like a sharp arrow. Xia De dodged immediately, and then only heard a dull sound of boom~, and all entities within a radius of 20 feet were blown away along with Xia De and the flying snowflakes.

When he climbed up from the ground spitting blood, the place where he stood just now had become a deep pit.

Originally thought it was a point-to-point attack, didn't expect it to be a range strike.

"This is not right; I am three-ring, even have divinity, in a normal state, still cannot fully open the Labyrinth Lock; how did he do this? Even if the talent is amazing, where did he get so much spirit?"

Joey Barton stretched out his right hand and pointed again; Xia De immediately pressed his right hand on the ground. Pitch-black pus surged out, wrapping his whole body like an eggshell.

The violent vibration was accompanied by a dull explosion; the demon power barely protected Xia De, but still made Xia De feel like his internal organs were shaken. This was just Joey Barton's casual blow, not his full strength at all.

【If the perception is not wrong, the Interstice is actively providing him with power. He himself is still just a one-ring sorcerer.】

"Didn't expect that I would also have a day of being pulled into a Labyrinth Lock by someone else. I used to do this... what to do now?"

The demon symbol in his palm faded, and the demon's power couldn't last too long. Without Iluna's "balance" suppression of the Chosen One talent, Xia De couldn't beat the other party at all.

"She" chuckled:

【Run.】

"Run? I also want to run, but this is inside the Labyrinth Lock; I can't open it, oh!"

The third black light beam and the fourth black light beam struck together; Xia De jumped toward the high altitude immediately, and before the explosion occurred, he used 【Lagley's Jump】 to move ten meters toward a higher place again.

It was difficult to borrow force at high altitude, and facing Xia De's face, that huge pitch-black scythe slashed down toward his body.

"Moonlight Greatsword!"

Clear yellow and holy silver weapons appeared in both left and right hands; the two weapons crossed above his head and were smashed toward the ground with Xia De in the next moment.

【Joey Barton must be in the Interstice to use the Interstice to open the Labyrinth Lock. He himself is still just a one-ring sorcerer.】

"So the best fighting place is far away from the Interstice? Otherwise, he can use this level of sorcery at any time?"

Xia De climbed out from the crack in the ground, and Miss Aurora's blurred voice came from his ear again:

"Xia De, where are you now? Why can't we hear your voice? And, the church has also found Joey Barton's position; you will see them in a few minutes; is it convenient to retreat now?"

"I think I have no chance to see the church people. I am in the Labyrinth Lock; can you take me away from the Labyrinth Lock? This time it seems I really can't beat him."

The more important reason is that 【Night Watchman】 is not on his body, otherwise Xia De is most afraid of the Labyrinth Lock.

"Labyrinth Lock? My god, what happened? Wait five seconds!"
