Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 736 Breaking the Darkness with Thunder

In the bright light of the knife, a bloody head slowly fell.

A large number of gunblades were inserted into Akado's headless body, and golden words were flashing on each gunblade.

Under the illumination of the holy light all around, there is an inexplicable sense of beauty.

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, some of them were unable to react. How could the Royal Knight, who was so powerful just now, be beheaded in the blink of an eye?

Who is the new guy with glasses? The Thirteenth Department of Traitors of the Holy See? I've never heard of him!

The situation changed so quickly that no one was prepared. They all looked at the other knight, the butler Walter.

Walter was seen leaning against the wall with his hands folded, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Father Anderson, who was standing in front of Accardo's headless body, threw his head back and laughed hysterically.

"Hahahaha... that's it. This kind of thing is the Protestant Knights, the vampires that Hircine has to control despite violating church rules? At this level, it's not even credible. This is a joke."

Then he turned his head to look at Walter behind him, lowered his head, raised his hands sideways, and made a cross gesture. Two muskets appeared in his hands, with the tips of the swords pointing downwards.

He walked towards Walter, his glasses flashing white with boiling murderous intent.

"As a believer, yet you associate with vampires, you are also a heretic and should be eradicated!"

Walter sneered. As the steward of the Helsing family, he was trained by Helsing himself. Needless to say, his strength was self-evident. Even if the opponent was an alchemical modified person from Section Thirteen, he was not afraid at all.

The butler Walter moved his fingers slightly, and the knife in his hand flew out and wrapped around Father Anderson's double swords. Then he twisted them violently, and the sharp swords were directly broken into pieces.

"The Holy See's Paladins are nothing more than this!"

Butler Walter sneered, "The master has ordered that I don't want to be an enemy of your Church, so I'm hiding here. Get out of here now. You have to know when to advance and when to retreat. If you continue like this, the Church and our Helsing family will be in great danger. Even if you are from the Thirteenth Section of the Traitors, you'd better think clearly about the consequences."

The Helsing family mentioned by Walter is a family of vampire hunters. Helsing is only the core part of its complicated surname. Its full name is Van Bronck Ungate Helsing, or Van Helsing for short.

The current patriarch of the Helsing family is called Abraham, who is the head of the Royal Anglican Knights. He also holds an important position in the British Round Table Conference. The vampire Akardo was defeated and subdued by him.

Strictly speaking, such a person is not afraid of the Holy See, and is even powerful enough to influence the situation in Britain to a certain extent.

But precisely because of his high position and power, he has many concerns. Today, the British Empire, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, although still a behemoth compared to the Shenzhou region, has already shown signs of decline and is in decline.

At this time, as the head of the Royal Anglican Knights, Helsing certainly did not want to engage in another thankless religious war with the Vatican to weaken his own strength.

In order to accumulate strength to deal with the next changes in the situation, he even enslaved a vampire himself as a vampire hunter.

This was undoubtedly against the rules. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he sent people across the ocean to come here just to avoid a major conflict with the Vatican.

But I didn’t expect that the stubborn people from the Thirteenth Section of the Traitors would actually track us here.

It was for this reason that Butler Walter was very restrained in his actions. He only crushed the sword in Father Anderson's hand and did not attack him personally.

However, Anderson is a fanatic and is not so easy to talk to.

"Get out! You want me to get out?" Anderson stretched out his hand, and two more gun swords appeared in his hand.

"Don't underestimate us. We are the executors of God's punishment on earth, the thirteenth section of betrayers. Do you think I will submit to you Protestants?"

Father Anderson wielded his gun sword and fought with butler Walter.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The sharp blade broke through the air, and strands of silver light cut through the surroundings.

Father Anderson sneered, leaped up suddenly, and grabbed the flashing knife threads without fear.

"Pfft..."

The knife wire cut his palm and embedded deeply into the flesh, but failed to cut off his palm. He grasped the knife wire in the palm of his hand, and then pulled hard, and the butler was pulled over.

Anderson raised the blunderbuss high, ready to chop off the butler's head just like he had chopped off Akado's head, but the butler reached out and grabbed the blunderbuss.

The butler had a pair of gloves woven from razor wire on his hands, which allowed him to catch blades with his bare hands.

He looked at Anderson's bloody hands. "With the self-regeneration ability of Life Alchemy and the Holy Light Restoration Spell, it's no wonder he's like a monster."

"Protestant, I'm going to chop off your head and send you to hell to see that vampire." Anderson grinned.

"Hell? Who do you want me to go to hell to see?" Butler Walter laughed: "Do you think you can kill him by chopping off his head?"

"Huh?" Anderson was stunned, then looked at Akado's headless body, and saw a large number of vampire bats pouring out of the body and rushing towards him.

"Have his head chopped off? Stabbed in the heart? Don't confuse him with an ordinary vampire. He won't die from an attack of that degree." Butler Walter laughed.

Immediately afterwards, we saw that Akado's headless body disappeared, and those dense bats merged into one, transformed into Akado's appearance, and resurrected.

"Hahaha..." Accardo laughed out loud, as if mocking Father Anderson's incompetence.

Anderson gave up Walter, rushed to Accardo, and kicked Accardo in the chest in mid-air.

With a loud "bang", Akado was kicked backwards as if he was hit by a high-speed train, smashing the outer wall of the hotel, and his body twisted and rolled onto the street outside.

"Brush brush..."

He stood on the eighth floor and shot at Akado on the ground like a torrential rain. A large number of gun swords tore through the air, drawing white shock waves in the sky and dismembering Akado. However, the broken parts of his limbs quickly recovered after a surge of blood.

"Hahaha..." Accardo continued laughing and looked at Anderson mockingly.

"No matter how many times you kill him, he can recover. What are you going to do, Anderson?" Butler Walter said with his hands folded.

“In that case…” Anderson glanced at Walter again: “You came out too hastily. With the means in my hands, I can’t kill you for the time being, but it won’t be long!”

As he spoke, he took out a Bible, cast a holy light spell, and turned into a pile of golden paper and disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air:
"Next time, I will kill you all!"

"Tsk, Section 13, it hasn't changed at all over the years!" Akado dusted himself off and laughed coldly.

The priest is very strong, but that’s all. If it were in the past, he might have been interested.

But after seeing the eyes that destroyed a large number of his familiars, he no longer had much interest in a guy as powerful as the priest.

At this time, because of the commotion just now, more and more people came to the street. Akado moved and disappeared here with the butler.

Edward Sassoon upstairs stared blankly, and did not react until everyone had left for a while.

"Where are the two knights?"

"Sir, they've left!" His butler came over and said, "It's not safe here anymore, let's leave here quickly."

"Yes, yes, this place is no longer safe. If the assassination attempt fails once, there might be a second attempt. I must go to a safe place," Edward said hurriedly. "Where do you think is safe, sir? I'll arrange it right away," said the butler.

"We are not safe as long as we are on this land," Edward looked into the distance. "We should go to the sea, charter a cruise ship, replace all the people with ours, and then go to the sea. I don't believe that they can come to the sea to assassinate me."

"Sir, you are wise. If you are at sea, rats and poisonous snakes cannot get close to you," said the butler.

"Yes, yes. Then notify the people from the Municipal Council and ask them to take action against Yongxin Company. Even if I am assassinated by them, ask them to take back Yongxin Company's assets and drive them out of here. I don't want to see them when I come back." Edward said seriously.

In fact, he couldn't conclude that the person who attacked him was from Yongxin Company, but no matter whether it was or not, Yongxin Company had to deal with it.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll tell the people at the Municipal Council right away," the butler said quickly.

On the other side, in a church of the Tiantong Church, rats were roaming around. They came to the hall and squeaked in front of Master Huang Jiu.

They were the spies left by Mr. Huang Jiu in the Peace Hotel, and Mr. Huang Jiu knew everything that had happened before.

Master Huang Jiu conveyed the news to Wang Ai.

"The Royal Ecclesiarchy Knights... the invincible vampire... Hircine... the Thirteenth Section of the Betrayer... dog bites dog..."

Wang Ai forwarded the news to Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Zhiwei received the message and replied to Wang Ai that he would bring people over tomorrow.

When Wang Ai and others heard this, they immediately felt relieved.

…………

…………

The next morning.

The bronze bell of the Great Shangqing Palace struck a total of 108 times, and the Taoists of the Tianshi Mansion got up and began their morning lessons.

Zhang Zhiwei arrived at Tianshi's private residence on time to meet his master. When he arrived, his master was having breakfast. There were six dishes in total, three meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes, plus a pot of wine.

This is Master’s daily standard outfit. It’s not simple, but it’s definitely not luxurious either.

Zhang Jingqing took a sip of wine and glanced at Zhang Zhiwei: "What are you doing here, kid?"

Zhang Zhiwei sat down opposite his master without hesitation and started eating, saying as he ate:
"Master, there is something going on down the mountain. I want to go to the Demon City."

"I heard that you set up the Tiantong Church in Shanghai, opened a lot of factories, and did a lot of charity? You also banned smoking. Have you gotten into trouble?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

Zhang Jingqing was naturally aware of what Zhang Zhiwei had done in Mo.

"There is indeed some trouble." Zhang Zhiwei nodded.

"Because of the opium issue?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

"Master can't hide anything from me." Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"The opium business involves so many things. Do you know what kind of resistance you will face?" Zhang Jingqing asked, "Do you remember what you said before?"

"Of course I remember." Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile, "A bunch of chickens and dogs, what kind of resistance are they? These thieves who are ruining the country and the people, I will kill one if I see one, and kill a pair if I see a pair. I will go there to smash the darkness with thunder!"

"Then go ahead." Zhang Jingqing lowered his head to eat, waved his hand, and let Zhang Zhiwei go.

"Then I'll go, Master."

Zhang Zhiwei got up and went out. When he reached the door, Zhang Jingqing added:
"If things get bad, use that new trick of yours and run away!"

"Master, don't worry. If I really encounter something I can't handle, I will definitely run faster than anyone else." Zhang Zhiwei said solemnly.

Zhang Jingqing didn't say anything else. Although he felt that the opium den was a product of this era and that individual power was insignificant and would ultimately be washed away by the tide of the times, his apprentice wanted to do it and he, as their master, couldn't cause trouble.

Zhang Zhiwei walked out of Tianshi's private residence and went to the back mountain. Zhang Huaiyi, Tian Jinzhong, Lu Jin and Lu Ci had been waiting there for a long time.

"Brother, has Master dealt with it?" Tian Jinzhong asked hurriedly.

"Master will definitely not refuse such a thing." Zhang Huaiyi said.

"It worked," Zhang Zhiwei said. "Master also reminded me that if things get bad, I should run away immediately!"

"Run away quickly? This is really not something that Master would say." Tian Jinzhong said.

"It means that Master thinks our action is quite dangerous." Zhang Huaiyi said in a low voice.

"After all, we are facing two extremely powerful religious forces in the world. It is impossible to say that there is no danger at all," said Zhang Zhiwei.

"The bigger the force, the stronger the strength is not necessarily. Didn't we kill a cardinal before? What's there to be afraid of!" Lu Ci sneered.

"That's true. We still have soldiers from another gang in the Magic City this time. Who's afraid of whom?" Lu Jin also said.

"Very good, very energetic!"

Zhang Zhiwei praised, and immediately used his power to open a lightning channel to wrap everyone, and soared into the sky.

In the passage, Zhang Huaiyi and Tian Jinzhong cast the Golden Light Spell, which not only protected themselves but also covered Lu Jin and Lu Ci.

Lu Jin pursed his lips, thinking about not using the golden light protection and going into the lightning channel in the reverse life state to temper himself, but when he thought about the possibility of a fierce battle later, he gave up the idea.

Moreover, if Senior Brother Zhang suddenly showed up in a crowded place and I went out to walk my bird like I did last time, that would be so embarrassing!

Lu Ci had almost the same idea.

The blazing lightning streaked across the sky, leaving a long trail in the middle of the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

A few minutes later, lightning struck with a loud bang outside a factory building on the outskirts of Magic City.

"Huhuhu..."

Zhang Zhiwei was slightly out of breath. He opened the Lightning Ventilation and led four people across a thousand miles in a few minutes. Even he felt a little tired.

As for the others, they were still a little dazed looking at the scenes around them. Although they had taken the lightning channel once before, they were still shocked. In just a short moment, they were thousands of miles away?

"Where is the Fatty? Didn't we notify him before we set off and ask him to come and greet us? Where is he?" Lu Ci said dissatisfiedly.

Lu Jin took out his pocket watch from his suit and took a look at it: "Could it be that we came too fast and he couldn't make it in time?"
