Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 697: Chapter 229 Reversal, Astonishing Secret Message_3

However, an even more desperate scene unfolded next.

Leonard Churchill watched as the punch imbued with lightning flashes approached, knowing he couldn’t dodge it, nor did he have any intention to dodge: “Thunderbolt Fist, huh…”

Having seen the apex of scenery before, these moves suddenly seemed unremarkable to him now.

The destructive special effect heightened by Curse Power not only penetrated defense but also caused a certain degree of “stun”.

Any Martial Skill that could be categorized as Mystery had its tricks.

The fist struck his chest, but Leonard Churchill didn’t allow the punch’s strength to infiltrate his body.

The instant they touched, his muscles contracted slightly, and his chest cavity caved in just right.

A miraculous scene occurred.

The fist seemed to stick to the chest cavity; the thunderous “snap” of the Thunderbolt Fist didn’t come out, but instead, seemed glued on.

The black-clothed man’s face revealed horror instantly, “What’s going on!”

He clearly sensed his fist feeling like it had hit cotton.

Despite landing a hit, he couldn’t release his force at all!

It’s not the strength of the enemy one fears, but when one completely doesn’t understand the enemy’s tactics!

Failing to strike effectively, he instinctively wanted to withdraw his fist, only to discover in even greater horror that he couldn’t pull it back.

It was like…

It was like being stuck!

The force of his punch didn’t dissipate, and he himself stumbled backward, revealing a huge opening.

…

Leonard Churchill watched this guy’s terrified expression with an unchanged demeanor.

For the past two months, he had been constantly taking hits.

And now, he could finally use what he learned to hit back.

At this moment, he deeply understood the old predecessor’s intention.

This is what it meant to “listen to the strength”.

It was the secret technique, “Turning Air into Bird” that Leonard Churchill had practiced for over a month before mastering.

This wasn’t just about advanced skills’ proficiency, but also about the mystery of Air Skill transforming force.

Whenever an external force struck, he could precisely dissipate it with his body.

Contrary to before, where he had no choice but to withstand it head-on.

This move was not just defensive; it was also a counter-attack.

Once the opponent’s fist got stuck, the initiative was in his hands.

In a flash of movement.

Leonard Churchill’s tens of thousands of pores keenly sensed the direction and strength of the enemy’s Air, his body sticking to the opponent’s fist.

The opponent wanted to pull back, but the fist remained attached to his chest.

Leonard Churchill then easily captured the man’s arm, preventing his escape, while four flying knives pierced through his vital spots in an instant.

Barre Shepherd, the Air Skill Grandmaster, was not only proficient in Air Skill but also in various ancient Martial Skills.

Using Air Skill to hit acupuncture points could be considered “exploiting vulnerabilities”.

No matter the routines and Martial Skills of the enemy, once you accurately gauge the pattern of their Curse Power circulation, you can precisely interrupt it.

The moment Leonard Churchill’s flying knife pierced the man’s spinal cord, he distinctly felt the protective glow around him dim.

Leonard Churchill didn’t hesitate to throw a punch right then.

“Boom!”

The four-fold internal force of Two-pole collapse penetrated the skull, and the man in the suit instantly fell unconscious.

Leonard Churchill didn’t give him a chance to regain consciousness, his fists raining down like a downpour.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“…”

In the dimly lit sewer, only a dense bursting sound similar to firecrackers was heard.

A few moments later, the man’s skull cracked open, leaving him lifeless.

Leonard Churchill assassinated five people, the whole process taking less than a minute.

Not sensing any more pursuers, he allowed himself a sigh of relief.

After handling the bodies, Leonard Churchill rapidly retreated deeper into the sewer.

…

“Turns out I’ve become this powerful, huh…”

As he ran, Leonard Churchill carefully replayed the killing spree in his mind.

From their reactions, the X Bureau’s five-man squad were originally quite strong.

But the ambush went much smoother than expected.

Especially killing the last Third Tier team leader.

Thinking over it now, that guy’s Martial Skills and equipment were not bad.

The quick kill was purely because of the gap in understanding the realm of Martial Skills.

The old predecessor had raised his realm too high over these two months.

Previously obsessed with Martial Skills and techniques, it was only after truly entering the realm of Air Skill that he realized he had been on the wrong path.

When Gang Air is condensed to the extreme, it can be even sharper than a blade.

Once he can reach Barre Shepherd’s level of “Turning Air into Bird”, with Gang Air swirling around his hands, it will be sharp as a sword, easily piercing wherever it’s directed.

It poses a fatal threat even to Top-level Card Masters.

He could even wrap Air around a flying knife, making it pinpoint accurate.

A thought flashed by.

Soon after, Leonard Churchill emerged from the drainage pipe in an unnamed alley.

After surveying his surroundings, he was already more than ten kilometers from Downing Street.

Not daring to be careless, Leonard Churchill changed his clothes and covered his tracks.

He withdrew into the distance once more.

…

117 East City Street, Eastern District 5.

This was where Leonard Churchill initially worked as a Corpse Collector, the area he knew best.

This place had previously been half-abandoned, but was now bustling, with construction workers everywhere on the street.

The Corpse Collector’s branch was still there.

Leonard Churchill found an abandoned building and stopped.

He took out the deer-skin wrap entrusted to him by Reuel Bible and suddenly realized, “No wonder he said only I could take it…”

Because as soon as he opened the wrap, Enlightenment appeared.

‘You have exempted yourself from a severe ‘Evil Curse’.’

‘You have exempted yourself from a severe ‘Unknown Belief’.’

The contents of the wrap were contaminated with Faith Pollution and a Curse.

Leonard Churchill felt his eyelid twitch at the sight.

In anyone else’s hands, this would have been big trouble.

No wonder Reuel Bible handed it to him.

Because Leonard Churchill knew he was the only old friend who knew he could be exempt from Faith Pollution.
