Chapter 652: Character Destroyed Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Howard felt that something was not right as Bennett seemed too certain of the cooperation between the Phoenix Society and EO. It was as if they had actually talked about it. He seemed to take some of the conditions for granted, as if Howard had not thought that he would reject the offer.
But Howard could not understand. Bennett had put forth such exorbitant conditions. What was he thinking?
Thus, Howard suddenly realized that there was a problem. What exactly the problem was, he did not know. But he had to make things clear!
Howard stamped his foot. The temperature of the air suddenly increased. The weeds underneath his feet had burnt to a crisp!
A circle of fire spread out from Howard’s body. Its power was frightening!
The subordinates who were by his side, were sent flying outwards by this circle of fire!
He did not retreat and rushed forth. Lu Shu was depressed. His character had been destroyed again…
When Lu Shu came out from the EO headquarters, he rushed towards where Howard was without stopping. On the way, he met one of Howard’s subordinates and killed him. After that, Lu Shu naturally took on his appearance…
But this time, the character and the tone that he used was rather different from the subordinate. At first, Howard may not have realized as he was focused on Bennett. But once he noticed something, Lu Shu’s cover was blown.
But it did not matter. Lu Shu was out to kill!
The Heavenly Network did not make good progress overseas. One of the reasons was because the Phoenix Society and the Department of Faith Theory were too strong.
The large organizations once trapped the Heavenly Network at the borders as a form of check and balance. This was Howard’s style.
It could be said that Howard was one of the most active people in the realm of cultivation. The lights on stage were splendid, even blinding, and Howard was lightly dancing on this stage. His presence was very strong.
Earlier, the experts and the majority of the members of the Phoenix Society who had played along were sent to find “the expert who had stolen weapons”.
Thus, Howard was essentially alone now. Lu Shu could not help but think. If launching a sneak attack on Howard could land the Department of Faith Theory in some trouble, then it would ease the current compet.i.tion for mineral resources. Furthermore, the pressure that the Heavenly Network faced overseas would decrease. They could just wait and see the conflict between the Department of Faith Theory and the Phoenix Society worsen.
Lu Shu knew that his character would definitely be destroyed this time. But he did not expect it to be destroyed so quickly. Howard should have concentrated all his hate on Bennett. Why did this happen…
But Lu Shu did not know that Howard had not realized the difference in his physique and voice. He even felt that his subordinate was very dishonest and had never been so lowly!
As the flame approached Lu Shu, Lu Shu’s celestial cloak immediately surrounded him. The bright s.h.i.+ne of the stars engulfed Lu Shu’s body in the light. He charged towards Howard. Howard pointed to the sky and the fire phoenix flew out of Howard’s finger!
At this moment, the flame in Lu Shu’s heart jumped. Lu Shu did not think about this. But the fire phoenix suddenly shrunk and became a fire chicken…
Howard was speechless.
Howard did not know what had gone wrong. He suddenly felt as if the monarch of flames had arrived, while his own flame had acknowledged its allegiance to its monarch.
Some time ago, Liang Che had wanted to attack Lu Shu with his flames, but the flames involuntarily extinguished itself. Liang Che had thought he had used up all his magical energy. Lu Shu had thought so too…
But at that moment, Lu Shu suddenly realized that the flame in his heart was not so simple. It was as if it was of high social status in the domain of flames and lorded over its subjects.
“Who in the world are you,” asked Howard coldly. He was not an idiot. He definitely knew that he had been suppressed by some mysterious force. But… turning his fire phoenix into a fire chicken was too much bro?!
Was it his power or did he have a mythical object that could retrain the fire element? Howard felt that the latter was more believable. After all, there were no levels for a fire element awakening. Only Cla.s.s B’s could suppress Cla.s.s C’s. He was now a Cla.s.s B expert. His enemy could not be a Cla.s.s A, right?
There were no Cla.s.s A fire element Metahumans. Even if his enemy was a Cla.s.s A, why was he still toying around with him? Howard would have been dead a long time ago!
Furthermore… which Cla.s.s A would be so bored to the extent that they would disguise themselves as others and come to disgust others?! Was he crazy?!
Lu Shu did not reply to Howard’s question. He came to kill Howard. In the end, he realized that he was born with the ability to restrain fire element Pract.i.tioners. This was like someone pa.s.sing him a pillow when he wanted to take a nap!
Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow appeared with a roar. Lu Shu protected himself behind the two flying swords.
When he heard the roar of the flying swords, Howard knew that he and the Department of Faith Theory had guessed wrongly. It was not that the Heavenly King did not have anything up their sleeves. They had just been hiding it!
A Heavenly King had come!
In Howard’s eyes, all the Cla.s.s B experts in the Heavenly Network were Heavenly Kings!
Howard finally understood many things. This Heavenly King was the one who threw the stinky tofu. This Heavenly King was the one who attacked the EO headquarters. This Heavenly King was the one who stole his and Francesco’s weapons. The sudden alliance between the EO and the Phoenix Society was also probably this Heavenly King’s doing.
But when he had all this sorted out, it was too late.
His fire element had been suppressed. Howard was only left with his physical power. He would not give in!
Howard once again pointed at the sky. He wanted to test whether his powers were still being suppressed. If Lu Shu was using a mythical object, most mythical objects could not continuously suppress the power of a Cla.s.s B expert!
The next moment, another fire chicken dropped to the ground. It ran away clucking…
If Lu Shu was facing another Cla.s.s B expert, no one knew who would die. But he had run into a fire type Pract.i.tioner!
Lu Shu’s two flying swords circled Howard. The physique of elemental experts were slightly weaker, thus Howard was no match for Lu Shu!
Howard knew that if he could not think of a way out, he would really die here. Since when did the Heavenly Network have a Heavenly King who was so good at disguise? Furthermore, he had so many methods to kill others!
Howard dodged the flying swords as he wildly ran for his life. He retrieved a bottle of scarlet red potion from his invisible storage equipment and poured it into his mouth. He had to protect his own life!
Other than unrivaled power, the Phoenix Society was famous for their scientific research in the realm of cultivation. Some said that the Phoenix Society had found a way to allow ordinary people to awaken with great success!
