Chapter 503 - 316: Fleeing Separately

"Holy Light?"

"Someone from the Round Table Conference?"

Beside Baili Xueyuan, Wu Yong exclaimed in surprise.

He recognized the Holy Light at a glance. It wasn’t a common sight in the past, but with the ever-intensifying Witch Hunt, it had become increasingly famous worldwide recently.

Baili Xueyuan knew more of the inside story. The Mercenary Corps her Dead Ghost belonged to not only had no connection to the Round Table Conference, but they actually had a fair amount of bad blood with them.

"It is indeed Holy Light. Record this. If the incident is ultimately resolved, compile it into a written report," Baili Xueyuan said, turning to Wu Yong.

Although she knew the inside story, she wouldn’t tell anyone else.

On the contrary, to keep her Dead Ghost from being exposed, she had to create some cover.

Wu Yong nodded cautiously and continued to observe the details of the battle with Baili Xueyuan.

’Holy Light is used against Wizards, but the only Wizard on the field, Liu Xingyuan, is technically on our side. So why would this so-called Holy Relic Legion use Holy Light?’

Wu Yong didn’t understand, but the situation on the battlefield showed that the Holy Light was having a tremendous effect at this moment.

...

"Is this Holy Light? Holy Light can annihilate this Tier Five Will Power? Why? No, wait... Wizard, where did you get Holy Light?"

Inside the scarlet single eye, King Arthur instantly felt the pressure on her lessen, and her body could move again.

As she forcefully severed the neural connection between Ning Hao and the monster, she began to mutter.

’King Arthur didn’t understand. Holy Light was clearly the nemesis of Wizard Professionals, so why would a Wizard be carrying it around?’

Lin Qi’s main body was not being irradiated by the Holy Light, nor was the malformed entity affected by it.

Controlling the mass of vocal cords, he produced a buzzing sound. "Finish this quickly. This is the only Holy Light I have."

Lin Qi began to urge them on. At this point, he had already played most of his trump cards.

The only hidden technique he had left was the "Impatient Knife" that had evolved from his new Ability.

This thing was far from mature and posed a limited threat to High-tier Extraordinary Professionals.

If the monster was allowed to recover, Lin Qi would have no way to restrain its power again.

At that point, Lin Qi’s only option would be to abandon King Arthur and Master Ma, rush back to the Prosthetic Clinic, and flee with his people.

Fortunately, the subsequent developments did not disappoint Lin Qi. King Arthur and Master Ma worked together with exceptional coordination, unleashing the power expected of Tier Four Physical Enhancement Type Extraordinaries. They brutally tore the remaining "Half a Person" of Ning Hao from the monster’s body.

At the same time, Lin Qi sensed through his Spiritual Vision that the concentration of Spiritual Particles throughout Red Fruit City was beginning to slowly decline.

The source of the anomaly seemed to have lost its power.

Guang Ling: "A moment ago, all signal frequencies were severely jammed in a nearly three-hundred-kilometer radius centered on Red Fruit City. They’ve recovered now. @Master Ma, @King Arthur, what’s the situation? I’m accessing the Red Fruit City network to gather information."

Not only was the concentration of Spiritual Particles dropping, but the network signals in the Red Fruit City area were also gradually returning to normal.

At least Guang Ling’s methods were working again. As for the ordinary cyber network signals, they remained poor.

Seeing Guang Ling surface, Lin Qi immediately spoke up in the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps’ temporary chat window.

Wizard: "@Guang Ling, please do me a favor and scrub my tracks."

Lin Qi didn’t say much more, preventing other members from gleaning too much information. It was enough that Guang Ling understood.

Guang Ling: "So the Wizard made a move too? Understood. I’m accessing all cyber network devices within the Red Fruit City area. I’ll help you clean up your tracks."

Guang Ling did not refuse. Having already used Red Fruit City’s surveillance equipment to get a general idea of the situation, he understood what had happened.

After receiving Guang Ling’s confirmation, Lin Qi immediately controlled the vocal cords of the malformed entity wrapped around King Arthur and Master Ma, saying, "Slow down a bit. I’ll help you restore your Prosthetic Bodies first. After that, destroy all traces immediately. I don’t want my Ability exposed to the people from the Eastern Alliance."

The operation was in its final stages. Lin Qi’s next task was to deal with the loose ends as best he could.

King Arthur’s and Master Ma’s Prosthetic Bodies definitely had to be reattached.

Otherwise, if Baili Xueyuan saw the two of them with their bodies fully restored, she would inevitably make the connection to his true identity, "Lin Qi."

Hearing this, the two of them immediately slowed their movements considerably.

They didn’t rush to leave the massive scarlet single eye, but instead waited for the Wizard’s operation.

Soon, intense pain shot through all their limbs.

Lin Qi transformed blood into sharp scalpels and began cutting into their flesh.

Their Tier Four level of Physical Strength made Lin Qi’s surgery excruciatingly slow. Thankfully, the two of them hadn’t reinforced themselves with Extraordinary Power. Otherwise, even if Lin Qi spent an hour cutting, he might not have been able to remove their arms and legs.

He was still multitasking, performing dozens of "surgeries" simultaneously.

However, the ones suffering during this process were not Lin Qi, but King Arthur and Master Ma.

There was no anesthetic!

They had to rely on pure grit to endure!

This was especially true for King Arthur. She had numerous prosthetic implants embedded inside her head.

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

The pain was so intense it twisted her facial features...

But she could only bear it!

"Wizard, maybe you could..."

Master Ma’s face was also contorted in pain. He was a Tier Four Extraordinary, but he was still human!

’Who the hell has surgery without anesthetic?!’

Just as he spoke, King Arthur, who was beside him, said to Master Ma, "Master, the Wizard... HISS... risked coming to Red Fruit City to save us! We can’t... AARGH... screw her over!"

"It’s just a little pain, f...k! Just have to endure it!"
