Tony and Baiyu discussed some matters concerning the team.

The other three teammates aren’t on the Chaos Mother Star; they’re carrying out missions on other planets in the Chaotic Star Realm.

Once things here are settled.

Tony and He Leiluo will join the other teammates.

The night gradually descended.

The streets were brightly lit, with countless people cheering and celebrating, and many shops on both sides of the street were packed.

Suddenly.

The street became bustling.

Baiyu looked outside and saw a convoy of luxurious cars slowly approaching from the street corner, and there were over a hundred people just clearing the way.

"This is the annual address, led by Count Misar, touring with all the city’s nobility.

Now is the time for us to act.

The two people beside him are the Frank brothers; they’re his public bodyguards, but in the shadows, at least one more powerful Saint is protecting him.

Meanwhile.

He himself is also a Saint.

Soon, He Leiluo and I will deal with Misar and that hidden Saint, as well as any possibly present Asura Race strongman.

What you need to do is hold off the Frank brothers.

How does that sound?

Any problems?"

Tony asked earnestly.

Baiyu nodded, "There shouldn’t be any problems, you can go ahead without worry."

His task wasn’t the hardest.

Certainly, to assassinate Count Misar, Tony and He Leiluo must at least force out the hidden Asura Race, making their mission even harder.

Baiyu hadn’t expected Alfred’s plan to be so simple.

Firstly, kill Misar, and any consequences will be handled by the Scarred Church and the Mechanical God Church.

Secondly, if Misar cannot be killed, then force out the Asura Race member protecting him in the shadows, thus proving his conspiracy with them.

Achieving either of these points would be considered success; forcing out the Asura Race and killing Misar would mean the mission was perfectly accomplished.

However.

If neither point is achieved, then it’s considered a major failure.

Baiyu watched as the convoy slowly approached and asked in a deep voice, "Where’s Alfred? For something this big, he didn’t come to handle it personally?"

Clearly.

If measured by direct combat ability, Alfred, as the Chief Judge of the Scarred Church, who worships a god in the Blade Realm, his combat power was certainly the mightiest among them and would be the most suited for assassinating Count Misar.

"Ah, originally he was supposed to execute it, we were just supporting, but there was a sudden change. He had to confront a stronger enemy.

So I had to call for help."

He glanced at He Leiluo beside him.

Clearly, He Leiluo was taking Alfred’s place.

"A stronger enemy?"

Baiyu raised an eyebrow.

Tony grinned, "Yes, that kind of really strong, even I wouldn’t want to face such a monster."

...

Outside Abaida City.

Despite the blazing sun, bolts of lightning struck the earth.

Alfred donned the Divine Robe of the Scarred Church, wielding a gigantic Bone Blade, staring intently ahead.

Beside him.

Stood a nearly two-meter-tall iron-skinned figure.

It had no legs; its lower body was a convoluted mechanism resembling an iron block, moving via treads and jetting devices.

Its head was also an iron lump.

Its eyes made of two red liquid crystal panels.

Like a very retro robot.

One man, one machine.

Both focused forward.

In the midst of the storm, a man walked out calmly, his appearance extremely ordinary and easily forgettable at a glance.

Yet the terrifying aura he exuded was almost unbearable.

"Blood Blade Hernos, it’s been a while. Abaida is church territory; I presume you know the limits."

Alfred regarded him with apprehension.

"Indeed, I bear no hostility towards the Scarred Church. I’m here to hunt someone."

Hernos’s voice was sharp as a blade, gnawing at one’s eardrums, causing acute pain.

Alfred’s brow furrowed, "Who are you hunting?"

"A Reckoner, she escaped."

Hernos continued.

Alfred’s face showed slight puzzlement, "A Reckoner betrays, and you personally pursue?"

This time.

Hernos remained silent, steadily advancing, each step tightening the atmospheric pressure.

Alfred took a deep breath, "Iron Stone Bishop, it seems this battle is inevitable."

"Yes."

The robot emitted a metallic synthesized voice, then immediately rushed forward.

Alfred followed suit, countless air blades forming and continually shooting at Hernos in the center.

"Domain!"

At this moment.

The robot uttered a voice devoid of emotion.

Soon the surroundings took on a rusty hue, everything from air to ground covered in thick rust color.

Within this rusty world, time seemed to stand still.

Hernos’s body now coated in rust, struggled to move, and countless air blades penetrated him, leaving numerous wounds.

Blood splattered.

Yet within a breath, Hernos’s wounds healed, even the rust color faded completely.

"I don’t wish to clash with you; I have stated my purpose. If you retreat now, this conflict can be avoided."

Hernos neither advanced nor attacked, simply standing his ground.

"My realm, nearing that of a Named One, makes it hard for you to harm me."

He added.

However.

Neither Alfred nor Iron Stone retreated.

"Proceed."

Alfred gazed deeply at Hernos, "The Lion Craftsman’s blade never backs down."

Suddenly.

The surrounding wind and sand arose.

Countless blades formed a Barrier, isolating the three from the Outer World.

Inside, only vague silhouettes could be seen colliding continually.

...

"Act!"

As the parade approached a drink shop, Tony spoke at once.

At that moment.

He Leiluo clenched his dual blades, leaped from the window like lightning, directly towards Count Misar.

At this moment.

The Frank brothers beside Count Misar quickly stood before He Leiluo, attempting to block his attack.

However.

Suddenly, the two felt a surge of anxiety.

Nearby, a jet of dark flame shot out, carrying an aura of desolation.

The brothers could only dodge.

But after evading that Fireball, Baiyu instantly appeared behind one of them, whipping his Black Moon Blade in a wide arc.

One of the Frank brothers turned his head, reaching out to block the sharp Black Moon Blade.

Yet.

Seeing the two brothers’ faces, Baiyu’s expression shifted.

He had encountered these two before!

In fact, it was on Canglan Star!

In the Seven Coils Ruins, these two had once attempted to kill him but were easily defeated by him.
