I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 356 - 255: Kill

The head of a curly-haired middle-aged woman was thrown out of the open window.

It rolled onto the lawn, its eyes wide open, seemingly filled with disbelief.

The next second, heavy iron hooves trampled on it, smashing it to pieces.

Blood splattered onto the surrounding wild grass, swaying silently a few times before returning to tranquility.

"Let’s set off."

The Fallen Knight, riding on an armored warhorse, moved to the forefront of the doppelgangers.

Dream Demon Frog held a piece of information previously investigated by the Patrol Office, a cold smile on his lips.

He didn’t plan to give Han Zhan another day of rest.

Strike while he’s down, and take his life!

"On the side of the Evil Camp, the Fallen Knight has just successfully ascended to Social Level 4 as a Spit-upon, and on the leaderboard, I lead Han Zhan by more than 20 million points, it’s only a slim chance he can surpass me."

"Within six hours, I can create enough doppelgangers to cause secondary destruction across the entire Slaughter Battlefield!"

"On this battlefield, without the premise of absolute power suppression, social level will be the key to determining victory or defeat."

"As long as Han Zhan’s points are reduced to zero, they will have no chance to turn the situation around."

Frog murmured to himself, as different doppelgangers began heading in groups towards their respective destinations.

The Fallen Knight, on the other hand, walked towards a target circled in red on the map.

That was the place found in the Patrol Office system where Han Zhan’s parents lived.

...

In the middle of the night.

Han Zhan’s phone suddenly rang, on the other end, Zeng Buping, somewhat drowsy and weary, but his voice filled more with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Han Te, in my jurisdiction, a lot of vandals suddenly appeared!"

"They... they’re strange, seem like ordinary people, but also seem to carry rogue characteristics, looting and arson everywhere."

"How about your side? I just wanted to give you a heads up, be careful."

After Zeng Buping finished speaking, he quickly hung up.

Just after this call ended, the second call came immediately.

"Han Te, many new rogues have appeared in my jurisdiction!"

"They all look exactly the same, it’s crazy, it feels like I’m watching a horror movie!"

Third phone call:

"Sorry, Han Te, I might not be able to come to help you tomorrow."

"There are many vandals here, they..."

Fourth call, fifth call...

Altogether, Han Zhan received calls from more than ten special envoys.

After he finished taking the calls, his expression turned serious.

"What happened?" Gongyang Jin approached, asking.

"It seems like someone doesn’t want us to survive this morning."

"Frog?"

The only one with such means could only be the Dream Demon Frog.

Han Zhan nodded.

"Just as Bob predicted."

"Frog doesn’t worry about points today, he sent all the doppelgangers to each area, causing havoc, making each special envoy in charge having no time to spare."

"He came prepared."

Sure enough, no sooner had he finished speaking, Bob sent back the latest news via street surveillance from various areas.

"A large number of doppelgangers have appeared in your jurisdiction, they, like those rogues during the day, are causing massive destruction."

"Each special envoy cannot support; if the situation escalates, the remaining over ten million points you have may not be enough."

"The methods of the villains are as dirty as ever."

Han Zhan interrupted the Little Dragon People’s complaints. "Stop making sarcastic remarks, can you help me locate the Fallen Knight?"

"No need for locating."

Bob flicked his dragon tail and gave an unexpected yet reasonable response.

"The Fallen Knight has already come looking for you."

"Two-pronged approach? Does Frog think he’s got me?"

Han Zhan, through the monitoring screen shown by Bob, indeed saw the Fallen Knight approaching in his direction, his figure appearing in the surveillance.

...

The Fallen Knight didn’t choose to traverse quickly via the Path of Corruption to cross the terrain.

With a warhorse to ride, his speed wasn’t considered slow.

Suddenly, the warhorse came to an abrupt halt, raising its entire body along with its front hooves high, as if startled by some shock.

The Fallen Knight on the horseback, held onto the reins with one hand, his body uncontrollably leaning back.

This was nothing at first.

But in the split second his body tilted backward, a sword light buzzed bright, seizing the opportune moment, one sword strike aimed right at him!

Even clad in heavy defensive pitch-black armor, the Fallen Knight, locked on by the sword light, felt a layer of fine goosebumps rise all over.

As an experienced knight, his combat experiences were extensive.

If it were any other knight, he might instinctively invoke the Knight’s Code, summoning an aura to fend off the attacker.

The Fallen Knight chose not to do so.

He used the inertia of leaning back to slightly twist his body, and the Knight’s Greatsword, almost as wide as half his body, just perfectly shielded between the sword light and himself.

Clang!

A tiny sword light clashed onto the blade of the Knight’s Greatsword in the blink of an eye.

Orange sparks burst forth.

The Knight’s Greatsword of the Fallen Knight was different from other knights’.

Its blade was etched with intricate patterns, extending from the hilt upwards, all the way to the tip, covered in inky black designs.

This was crafted from special materials acquired in the fallen darkness, painstakingly forged and refined by the Fallen Knight.

To forge this sword, thousands of swordsmiths from the Sun Never Sets Knight Order fell entirely, forever lost in the dark world.

The strength of this Knight’s Greatsword, obtained at such a cost, was beyond question.

Receiving the unexpected ambush of the perfectly timed sword light, the surface of the Knight’s Greatsword manifested a faint black mist, with the next second, golden light spots stirring waves upon collision.

With this buffer.

The remaining impact force dissipated completely at the moment the Fallen Knight gripped the Knight’s Greatsword.

"You’ve ascended too?!"

The Fallen Knight blocked this sudden ambush, yet his tone did not carry any ease, rather it grew even more solemn.

From the direction of his intended destination, a figure emerged.

In his hand, he held the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuan Yuan Sword, with a Guqin floating behind him, its music resonating.

It was, of course, Han Zhan!

"I never expected you wouldn’t immediately use the Fallen Aura, what a surprise."

Han Zhan, holding the sword in his right hand, approached, blocking the inevitable path of the Fallen Knight’s journey.

What a pity. Han Zhan sighed internally, if the Fallen Knight’s first instinct was to awaken the Fallen Aura, Bob lying in wait would have activated the Realm of Illusion and Reality, shattering the just-formed Dark World.

At that moment, this strike could pierce through the Fallen Knight’s neck.

"Do you think, having the precedent of the Fallen Aura being dismantled in the Patrol Office, I would repeat the same mistake again?"

At this moment, the Fallen Knight, also wielded the Knight’s Greatsword,

As they spoke, the two slowly approached each other.
