Chapter 622: Chapter 169: Desperate Battle at Third Rank (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2

“It’s because of you that I’m scared!”

Xu Shu wanted to curse but suddenly paused, noticing something unusual.

It was Yu Mingluan speaking; he hadn’t heard wrong.

But the “old priest” Yu Mingluan before him didn’t open his mouth!

He seemed very tired, having used up all his energy just walking this short distance, so he simply threw up his hands and sat down on the ground.

“Huff! Huff!” Yu Mingluan was panting heavily, he glanced at the door with his eyes.

His mouth didn’t move, but Xu Shu heard the archbishop’s voice again, this time clearly:

“Go ahead, I can’t help you, whether you can escape or not is up to you.”

After saying this, Yu Mingluan looked at Xu Shu seriously with his left eye, while his right pupil darted about incessantly in all directions.

What was this about?

Xu Shu took a long look at Yu Mingluan, said nothing, and turned to run.

He transformed into a pool of blood and swiftly slid toward the gap under the door.

Boom!

The door suddenly burst open, a powerful gust rushed in, and a burly middle-aged man strode in, moving as fast as the wind; Xu Shu on the ground was blown up and stuck against the ceiling, then carried along to the other side.

The burly man’s skin was dark, and his upper body was completely covered with scars; many iron chains draped over his shoulders, and he immediately glared at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu found himself unable to move; the space around him locked down tightly, not just the blood, but even the space itself seemed to freeze in that instant.

“Prisoner?”

Xu Shu felt a chill in his heart, struggled with all his might, but found he couldn’t move at all.

He thought a mere prisoner couldn’t possibly possess such power to trap him; this man must not be a prisoner.

He must be the Prison Director!

“Criminal” passing through Phase Three, “Prison Director”!

Another Third Rank, which master was this?

Hadn’t Yu Mingluan said he’d held back the other four Third Ranks?

Liar!

Amongst the believers below, many suddenly knelt, shouting in unison, “The First Master!”

Xu Shu suddenly realized—so this was the big boss.

The First Master strode as fast as the wind, stretching his hand from several dozen meters away to grab him.

Xu Shu couldn’t move, seemingly resigned to his fate.

This couldn’t go on!

Xu Shu gritted his teeth and suddenly burst out intense golden light, layer upon layer like a massive lid, covering directly in front of him.

Iron Armor’s signature move, “Iron Wall”!

He opened up a shield, expanding the “cage” around him by a circle, creating a slight tear in the surrounding air.

Whiz!

A pool of blood took the opportunity to squeeze through the crack and moved in another direction.

“Huh?”

The First Master’s eyes widened, surprised that his target could escape his grasp.

He tried to stop it, but found that Xu Shu had already reached the other door at the end; it was one of the only two exits here, and he was too late to block it.

So, another man with glasses, walking slowly forward while holding a ruler in his left hand and books under his right arm, began to sing as he walked:

“There shouldn’t be a door here, the placement is wrong, evidence conclusive, order a correction!”

Thump!

The door in front of Xu Shu disappeared suddenly, and he slammed into a solid wall, hitting it so hard that his head spun from the impact.

The door had been moved; its original placement was incorrect; it was relocated several dozen meters away to a spot that was previously just a wall.

The person passing the Third Rank process of “Executioner”!

Blood person Xu Shu reached out a small tentacle-like claw, rubbing his head in pain, his face contorted.

He saw that group of Heroic Society’s believers shouting again, “Second Master!”

The Second Master was here too; now there were two Third Ranks hunting him down!

Xu Shu dared not stop; he couldn’t afford to.

Onlookers saw the blood splatter under their feet wildly rushing, Whooshing towards the newly appeared door.

However, with the “Executioner” present, he waved his hand again, chanting a spell, “Insufficient evidence, judgment invalid.”

Bang!

That door suddenly vanished, reverting to its original place, and Xu Shu slammed hard against the wall once again.

“Damn!”

This ability, playing dirty?!

Fury erupted within Xu Shu, but he dared not linger, Whoosh! He clambered up onto the ceiling.

He quickly searched and suddenly discovered a door opened right above.

There was another exit here?

Xu Shu didn’t have time to think; all he could do was run.

Just as he neared the doorway, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up from behind the door, Ghost Fire staring ominously at Xu Shu.

“?”

Xu Shu hastily stopped, not daring to go forward, and looked back to find that many vengeful spirits had appeared on the spot, rushing towards him, while beside the First and Second Master, there appeared another character dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood, like a sorcerer.

He immediately realized what this door was.

This was the gateway to the “Netherworld.”

The spellcaster was “Spirit Communicator” at the Third Rank, “Gatekeeper”!

The Third Master?

No, it must be the Fourth Master.

Crack! Crack!

A swarm of ghosts flew over, and Xu Shu stealthily activated Narrow Sleeve Guanyin.

Yin God·Desire and Yin God·Sorrow opened their invisible gaping maws, swallowing all the nearby ghosts.

However, just that brief delay, less than two seconds, Xu Shu’s surrounding space compressed once more, and the Prison Director’s “cage” wrapped him up again.

Thump!

Xu Shu fell from the ceiling, crashing onto the floor, creating a dent.

This time, the First Master held back, trapping Xu Shu’s hands, preventing him from releasing “Iron Wall,” and he couldn’t break free for a moment.

“Quite the formidable youngster, the Master will probably like this.”

“High-quality blood meal!”

The three men closed in, laughing.

The First Master raised his hand pointing at Xu Shu and commanded, “Don’t move.”

Crack! Scratch!

Two massive hooks appeared in the air, piercing through Xu Shu’s shoulder blades, seemingly about to hang him up, but they shattered amid a flash of golden light.
