Chapter 141 – Supreme Evil's Cult [2]
The two forces collided and created a huge explosion, sending everyone back. Leo stood his ground, and Anya supported Astrid so she wouldn't get blown away.
Dust rose and smoke filled the room. Leo could still feel the sinister Qi building up from within the dust. They increased in number, exactly the number of people he saw when he first entered.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
That should be impossible. He had killed a few of them,
But when the dust was cleared, a surprise was waiting for him.
"Hah, hahaha. You have no idea who you are dealing with. We have no fear of death and only live for our master's purpose. This is our fate, and we will achieve it no matter what!"
All Supreme Evil's followers were alive, even the ones he had killed. They were not dead, and their wounds had healed. Their strange appearance became even stranger after they got revived.
At that moment, Leo knew he had to destroy the source, the Cult Leader. He didn't know what kind of ability this man had, but it seemed to be related to the Necromancy and the Summoning technique.
'How fucked up. Necromancers in a Murim novel... What kind of sick joke is this? One was enough.'
But, now was not the time to complain.
"Anya, cover me. Don't let them get close."
"Yes, Leader!"
"Peng Peng, snap out of it and support her. You have to reach 5 Stars and awaken your fire element now to burn them. Help Anya to create an opening."
"Y-Yes. I'll try my best."
Astrid shook her head and blinked her eyes. She felt strange and confused, but she had no time to think about that. Her Qi covered her body and her sword, ready for battle.
"Let's go!"
Leo dashed forward, his hair still white and his body glowing with golden light. The bodysuit he wore covered his whole body and created a mask for him. There was a possibility the enemies would use these maggots to invade his body, and he couldn't risk getting infected.
Anya and Astrid followed behind him, their movements swift and deadly. The three of them were like a hurricane, and the robed men were caught off guard. As the two girls locked into combat against the robed figures, Leo passed them and went straight to the leader.

"You cannot defeat me. I have the power of the Supreme Evil, and no one can stop me!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Leo grinned and sent his fist forward, hitting the man's face. The impact was strong enough to send him flying, his body hitting the bone thrones, breaking it alongside the bones in his body. The lightning Qi burned his skin, and his muscles were paralyzed.
"You fucking bastard! How dare you?!"
He didn't have time to recover before Leo sent a kick to his stomach, his foot digging into his organs and creating a hole.
From what he learned from fighting against Heartless Undertaker, people with regeneration ability that came from sinister Qi were weak against a burnt wound. They took slower to regenerate them, especially if it was a burnt wound from lightning or electricity.
The maggots inside Cult Leader's body were also destroyed by the lightning, leaving a black and burnt hole.
"You! How dare you!"
While Leo was fighting, the girls were also in a fierce battle. They were using all their strength and speed to destroy the robed men. They were cut down, their bodies sliced into pieces.
But, their numbers kept increasing. The moment one died, another one appeared.
"Leader, they keep multiplying like a slime in a RPG video game!" Anya shouted loudly, complaining about the situation.
She was using her bodysuit to trap them and her claws to kill them. However, the Qi that these men used was not normal, and they were able to break free from her grasp easily. Like a slippery eel, they escaped and tried to grab her.
"Leader! I-I can't anymore!" Astrid also struggled, her sword and body covered in green liquid. She couldn't move fast and her eyes were unfocused.
While she was a 4 Stars martial artist, her bodysuit allowed her to have a physical strength comparable to 5 Stars martial artist or even close to 6 Stars. She was strong, but her technique and Qi weren't up to par.
"It's okay, keep it up."
Leo had his hands full, and he didn't know how to get rid of these creatures. He had to find a source of his regeneration, just like when he fought the Heartless Undertaker.
His eyes observed his surroundings and moved at a lightning fast speed.
And then, he saw it.
The altar. A strange energy accumulated in that place, just like the Venom Sect ruin.
'There it is!'
Without hesitation, Leo took out his photon handgun and set its output at the strongest. Then, he pointed at the altar, putting his finger on the trigger. Added with his lightning Qi, the gun crackled dangerously as if it would break in just one shot.
Having experienced the gun's power, the Cult Leader knew that it was too dangerous. And he felt the Qi accumulating in the weapon, ready to be unleashed.
"NO!"
He screamed and raised his hand, trying to stop him.
But it was too late. Leo already pulled the trigger, and the bullet enhanced by his lightning Qi and the gun's power flew straight to the altar.
"AHHHHH!"
Cult Leader's hand was sliced off and flew into the air, landing on the ground and rolling before he could stop Leo. His flesh and bones were destroyed, and green liquid oozed out from the wound.
However, the bullet did not stop there. It continued its journey and reached the altar, exploding on impact.
Boom!
The explosion was loud, and the altar was destroyed completely, leaving only ashes and debris.
At the same time, all the robed men stopped moving, and their bodies began to disintegrate, leaving only the smell of burnt meat.
