“It’s him!”

“You’re dead this time!”

Jielade looked over and saw an unblest masked man escaping from the group, rushing towards the entrance.

The adventurer next to the masked man shouted loudly, “Stop him, he’s the wanted criminal!”

Jielade coldly watched this scene and said, “Bas!”

Jielade didn’t come alone, he had several hunters assisting him. Upon hearing the captain’s command, the Blood Saint Orc Bas, without hesitation, took out his hand cannon, opened the safety, and his body turned into a blood shadow, chasing after the escapee!

Meanwhile, Jielade himself remained on the high platform because he knew very well that as long as he guarded the entrance to the Virtual Realm, Asho would never be able to escape the Blood Moon no matter what.

As for the person who just fled in a panic, Jielade didn’t believe it was Asho’s true body. The white-haired hunter had already fallen for a body double once, how could he fall for it a second time?

Most likely, it was Asho’s body double, and sending Bas over to attack would be enough to destroy it.

As Bas passed through the crowd of adventurers, the holographic screens of everyone here, except for Jielade and the assistant priest K’er, automatically popped up, displaying two alternating blood-red messages:

“Warning: You are currently in a state of attack prohibition.”

“Warning: You are currently in a state of movement restriction.”

Even Bas was forced to stop in the crowd, as the Blood Saint Orc was also unable to resist the constraints of the chips. Before he could react to this scene, the adventurers around him suddenly let out screams of agony, one after another falling to the ground with bloody holes!

“The hunters want to trap us here and kill us!”

“They even control our chips to make us live targets!”

“Jielade wants to pass judgment on us by crossing the battlefield!”

“They will kill us all! Controlling chips like this is illegal, they will never let us leave alive! They will silence us!”

Blood, night, restrictions, screams of agony, along with Jielade’s notorious name and the self-awareness of criminals, panic spread like a plague bomb, exploding almost instantly among the crowd of adventurers.

Just at this moment, the two prompts in the adventurers’ holographic screens suddenly became distorted and blurry. They tried to move and were pleasantly surprised to find that they could!

“Run!”

With almost no hesitation, the adventurers instinctively obeyed this unknown command, because there was no harm in running away, because running away could avoid the terrifying Jielade, because everyone had started running.

They were like a group of frightened rabbits, scattering in all directions at the slightest stimulation!

“Charge through!”

“Flame Squad, follow me, cut down any enemies daring to block our way!”

“Ah ah ah, I’ve been hit, I’ve been hit! -“

“Don’t step on me, no! Ah~”

Hysterical chaos and cries pierced through the night. The adventurers who had just fallen to the ground were trampled by the panicked crowd, emitting painful screams. It seemed they were about to be trampled to death!

Facing such a disaster, Jielade’s eyes became brighter and brighter, as if his ruby-like eyes were about to ignite.

Chaos, manipulation of hearts, incitement of darkness, manipulating everyone like puppets.

It’s you, the leader of the Four Pillar God Heresy, Asho Heath!

Although the first wave of shouts just now sounded from various places in the crowd, the first one to guide the adventurers to escape, and the masked adventurer who incited the chaos within the crowd, had already been locked onto by Jielade!

At this point, the adventurers had already rushed to the entrance of the camp, and the guards responsible for sealing and guarding the entrance, from the Administrative Hall, didn’t dare to intercept. Although there were priests who could provide emergency treatment, they were just doing their job, why bother fighting with this group of madmen? They let the adventurers rush out of the camp and flee in all directions.

Seeing that the heinous fugitive was about to escape in the chaos, Jielade clasped his hands together in a praying gesture, unleashing a miracle. He transformed into a blood moonlight, leaping over the chaotic adventurers, like a white wolf ambushing its prey!

He swung his chain sword from a distance, and the chain sword instantly disintegrated into snake-like ropes, binding the figure at the forefront. The target would be turned into a pulp, bones and flesh mixed together, even evolving into an effect that harmed the soul, subjecting the target to the most cruel and vicious pain in their final moments!

Rather than an attack, it was more like a punishment!

Now, it was time for Jielade’s judgment!

However, the response to Jielade was not a mass of blood pulp, but… nothingness.

There was nothing. In the instant the chain sword touched the masked man, the masked man disappeared. In his place, two familiar objects fell to the ground – recording pens.

It was like the cruelest joke, bursting with the most boring fireworks.

A body double?

This was the body double?

Then, the one from earlier –

Jielade landed and turned around, seeing the first person who had fled in the beginning, now writhing on the ground in agony. It seemed his leg had been shot by Bas, and a fish-like scaled face was revealed under his cloak. Obviously, it wasn’t the Asho Heath he had been yearning for day and night.The first masked man was a bait used by Asho, serving as a prelude to the ensuing chaos; the second masked man was a decoy to incite panic, and at the same time, to divert Jielade’s attention.

So where was the real Asho?

Jielade turned his head and found that the hunter who had stayed on the high platform had been knocked down, and several adventurers covered in blood were rushing towards the Virtual Realm portal.

Right, although the adventurers were all fleeing outward just now, several of them had fallen to the ground for unknown reasons, unable to run at all, and were even trampled by the panicked crowd. Therefore, Jielade subconsciously ignored them…

I’ve been fooled again.

And it’s the same trick.

Still using a decoy to divert attention.

Jielade suddenly felt very tired, the chain sword in his hand was heavy, and he couldn’t muster any strength. He knew he was too late, he had been lured too far away, and the Virtual Realm portal only allowed two-winged sorcerers to pass through, he couldn’t possibly rush in to chase them.

Unless someone could stop them, otherwise—

Bang!

Clang!

Just before the sniper shot, Asho on the high platform plunged his honeyed dagger into the ground!

The warm yellow sword body barrier, which was formed almost instantly, was shattered by the bullet in an instant!

The sniper was a beastman hidden at the entrance of the camp. His right hand was equipped with a heavy sniper rifle specially designed for beastmen. The barrel of the gun was glowing with a golden light, as if he was using a miracle to aim.

Jielade recognized him, and so did Asho.

He was the beastman Gesas Dafu.

A two-winged sorcerer, the current leader of the Woodpecker Bandit Gang, and a loyal lackey of Professor Xilin.

His last task was to hide near Observation Point 53 and wait for the opportunity to kill Asho Heath.
