Chapter 254: Repayment

Li Mochen's expenditure in killing Aonzo was much smaller; the man had already been cut open by Dainn, and all he needed to do was finish him off. This death directly raised the multicolored spiritual light缠绕 on the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Pagoda' to a full twenty strands.

At this moment, Li Mochen switched to the automatic rifle 'Death Sentence,' raised it, and fired several bullets, turning the magic energy shooter who was recovering his body twenty meters away into a sieve.

Neither Dainn Stracy nor Sky Eye paid attention to Li Mochen's act of harvesting merit; both were focused on the battle. The former charged forward, fiercely entangled with two figures at the corner who were about to retreat back along the original path. The silver-white holy light from the holy sword Dimos illuminated the dark corridor. Howard Eisenhower had set his sights on the last Calamity Flame Apostle, a magic energy warlock whose magical shields were constantly collapsing under the bullet barrage from Sky Eye, Sampson, and the others.

However, this man was less than a meter from the corner, and his layered protective magic was thick, making it seem he could retreat safely. Yet Li Mochen's attention was also shifting toward him.

With a masterful meditative wish, visualizing the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Pagoda' in his mind, Li Mochen's 'Death Sentence' spat fire at the man, emitting a rattling roar.

His wish this time was that among the next ten bullets, one would surely end this man's life!

In that instant, the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Pagoda' consumed nearly eleven strands of multicolored spiritual light, but Li Mochen got his wish.

Indeed, on the seventh bullet, the warlock's last two layers of magical shields were completely shattered. The eighth bullet, following closely, struck precisely from the right side of the warlock's cloak, hitting the core of this magic energy cloak. The moment this 16S-grade defensive equipment failed, the ninth bullet pierced his brow with pinpoint accuracy! The tenth bullet struck his heart. Thus, this Calamity Flame Apostle, who had already hidden most of his body into the corner, turned to black ash, scattering and dissipating under the shockwave from the bullets.

At the same time, the multicolored spiritual light on the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Pagoda' increased to forty-five strands.

Part of it came from finishing off the magic energy shooter, while the vast majority came from the warlock.

As Li Mochen had expected, the sins committed by magic-based professionals far exceeded those of melee professionals; their destructive capabilities were not on the same level.

At this moment, Li Mochen flashed to the corner, his face cold as he looked at Edwin Antonio, whose face had turned pale. The latter swallowed a mouthful of saliva and retreated without hesitation. However, his men stayed behind, nearly ten magic energy automatic rifles firing at Li Mochen.

Most of the bullets were blocked by Li Mochen's 'Sun Moon Star Heavenly Star Divine Sword.' The 360 small flying swords, like bamboo leaves, swirled around him like a tide, cutting and shattering most of the incoming bullets. Only a few broke through the defense net. Meanwhile, two magic energy mages under Sampson Brut had cast several defensive spells on Li Mochen. The volley of less than three seconds was not enough to breach the 15S-grade magic energy armor on Li Mochen.

Correspondingly, the remaining two Calamity Flame Apostles were trapped in a desperate situation under the pincer attack of Li Mochen and Dainn Stracy. One magic energy warrior had twelve bullet holes blasted in his back from a magazine by Li Mochen, while the other, a magic energy shadowist, had his head severed by Dainn in a full outburst!

…

A minute later, the battle in the corridor was completely over. On the ground before Li Mochen lay twelve bodies, some intact, some mutilated.

Sampson Brut left with his men immediately after the battle to support other fronts. Only Li Mochen, Dainn, Mr. Sky Eye, and Eliza remained at the corner.

"I heard them call you Boss, meaning Andrew Lee Wiltons?"

Dainn looked at Li Mochen with strange eyes while organizing her equipment: "But the Andrew I know is just a sixteen-year-old middle school student."

Yet the man before her had killed three 16th-level Calamity Flame Apostles in direct combat within less than a minute! The other four had also died by Li Mochen's hand.

"You can call me Boss, or Mr. Li. But this is just my secondary body—"

Li Mochen had exited the state of Heavenly Mind Divine Illumination, and his expression became amiable again.

He had no intention of deceiving Dainn. Experienced high-level magic energy professionals like her were very perceptive and would eventually discern the truth from his aura and magic energy characteristics—after all, even a technique like the 'Binary Mystic Transformation Method,' adept at simulation, had its fundamental traits. With enough contact, it could be identified.

Also, Sampson and his men treated him differently from others during the operation. With Dainn's intelligence, how could she not notice the anomaly?

No one who could cultivate to level 17 or above as a magic energy professional was a fool.

"Wow, secondary body."

Dainn's expression was peculiar: "Did you obtain an avatar left behind by an ancient deity?"

She knew of such examples. Many ancient gods created avatars in the mortal world for their descent. Some were obtained by people who could refine and use them through special methods, gaining great power.

"No, my main body should be stronger than this one."

Li Mochen spoke the truth, leaving Dainn momentarily speechless.

"How to put it? Because of my father, I obtained some Eastern inheritance. Then, not long ago, I awakened the bloodlines of Titan and Silent Dragon simultaneously. Maybe it was luck? I received many inherited memories from these ancient beings. Dainn, this is my personal privacy, involving secrets I don't want others to know. Don't ask anymore, okay?"

In truth, he was far less powerful than Dainn imagined. His quick kills of the Calamity Flame Apostles were due to the merit energy of the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Pagoda'—but that was even harder to explain.

"Of course! You're the Boss."

Dainn Stracy shrugged and strode forward: "So next, we enter the second level of this underground base, right?"

At that moment, another explosion came from not far away. Instantly, the magical defense arrays around them completely collapsed. Thompson Adams's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Report, we have destroyed the base's outer formation core."
