“You… are guilty!”

With the backing of the Nightmare Horse, Su Lu moved at an incredibly fast pace. It was almost as if he was teleporting when he arrived behind Gered.

“Monster… Why do you bother me?”

Turning his head back, Gered’s face was filled with despair. He clenched his fists together and a halo of holy light radiated from his arm. “Die!”

He turned aggressively, leaped high into the air, took a hit from Su Lu’s sword without flinching, and sent a heavy punch onto the head of the Evil Spirit Knight.

Wham!

This punch finally took effect!

Su Lu’s figure was thrown off his horse, the black cloak on his head shattered, revealing a face with a hawk-like nose and a cold aura.

With the flames burning in his pupils and his emotionless face, he looked even more like a demon from the Abyss.

“Is that… Mr. Bellu?”

On the outermost perimeter of the circle, Mundo and Rafael watched this scene unfold, their mouths agape. They barely managed to utter, “So Mr. Bellu is not just a third-rank Professional…”

“It’s him!’

Geli wipes her face, reloads her hunting gun, and takes aim at Gered.

She must avenge her teacher. It was a vow she had made to herself!

“As expected of a fourth-rank, a master Occupational Person, perhaps with the help of a Marvel?”

Su Lu stood up, shook his head to clear it, and felt better. He glanced at Marlon who had backed away with vigilance, chuckled lightly, the Nightmare Horse formed beneath his feet and he again launched a charge.

This time, Gered, who had already been cut once and had blood oozing from his chest, showed a look of despair.

With one stroke, a Master Occupational Person was slain!

All the Occupational Persons who were watching the fight were speechless, their hearts filled with indescribable shock.

Su Lu’s eyes, filled with flames, scanned the crowd. Not one person dared to meet his gaze.

Taking advantage of this moment, he rode away from the battlefield on his Nightmare Horse.

Marlon Trellin watched the departing figure of the Black Knight, furrowed his brow, but did not stop him.

He felt that the Evil Spirit Knight was very dangerous, and his state was very strange.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to find out what had happened inside the old house.

With the personnel from the church pulling out their hands, the situation stabilized quickly.

A large number of people poured into the old house, and immediately ran out in horror. “Dead… so many dead people!”

“It’s that black knight. He just held a massacre inside the old house. I don’t know if he was performing a ritual to the Evil God…”

“According to the survivors… he’s called Bellu!”

All of the information converged, forming the final conclusion.

After destroying the Demon Old House, the one called Bellu, who initially seemed to be a third-rank Occupational Person, suddenly turned dark and began a massacre of those driven by greed.

“Collect the bodies… Thoroughly examine the old house. Don’t overlook any clues.”

Archbishop Marlon took a deep breath, knowing that today’s incident would surely shake the Federation.

The simultaneous death of so many Transcendent Professionals, including those of the third and fourth ranks, was a rare occurrence, even in this day and age when gods are awakening and the dawn of the Transcendent is approaching.

The name of that Black Knight Bellu is bound to reverberate throughout the Federation, topping the wanted list.

“Hey … Aren’t we leaving yet?”

On the outskirts of the Silent Forest, Geli grabbed Mundo and the others who were still interested in the spectacle, “Bellu came in with us, even though he’s a stranger we met last night. But do you think they will believe us?”

Upon hearing this, Rafael could not help but shudder, “You mean… we need to lay low. After we go back, I will announce the disbandment of the Ten-fist Association, and suggest all the members to go on a trip …”

As everyone was discussing fervently.

The ‘Demon Slayer’, ‘Black Knight’ they spoke of, was not in a good state either.

By the stream, black flames disappeared, many powers were condensed, turning into a silver card, with a crack appearing on it.

Su Lu didn’t have time to look closer, he jumped into the creek to quell the burning sensation on his body.

“Using a power much higher than my professional rank on a whim, is too dangerous…”

The cold stream water, finally brought Su Lu back to his senses.

He contemplated the killings just now, and the martial arts he displayed. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of estrangement.

It was as if, he couldn’t differentiate which consciousness was in control of everything.

Moreover, after using the sealed card once, he understood some of its taboo.

For example… the seal cannot be completely removed, otherwise, the Evil Spirit Knight will be released, and he definitely cannot control it.

Furthermore, in a situation like today, the card cannot be used multiple times, otherwise the seal might loosen, and the Evil Spirit Knight might escape.

Lastly, if he summons the power of the Evil Spirit Knight for too long, he might lose consciousness, causing the Evil Spirit Knight to break free from the seal, and resurrect within his body!

“In any case… the use of any power, carries a risk.. Fortunately, the gains from today’s incident were not small!”

Su Lu looked at his attribute bar.

First of all, the heart of the Curse of the Old House, which was the most thorny issue, had completely disappeared.

Besides that, the attributes, passives, and skill enhancements brought by the possession of the Evil Spirit Knight, vanished completely.

Even his spirit felt extremely tired, and his soul was incredibly weak. This was a reaction to being burnt by the black flame of the Evil Spirit Knight. Just like dealing with the pollution caused by the poisonous potion last time, he needs to recover through long periods of rest and meditation.

He paid a hefty price, but the rewards were horrifyingly ample.

[XP: 4500]

This line of numbers in the experience column gave Su Lu a great surprise.

At the same time, he felt somewhat regretful, “What a pity… If I were still at the second rank, perhaps my experience points would have gone over seven thousand! But… I, at the second rank, wouldn’t be able to kill occupational people of rank three or four… Looks like there are pros and cons.”

After cleaning his body, he sat on the shore and looked at the other two gains.

They were a Demon Hunting Dagger and the “Nameless Necromancer Book”!

The ranking of these two marvels were definitely a notch above Crow’s Mask, they were rare magical items.

“I killed so many people, but only gained two items because I didn’t have time to pick up… moreover, my state was not very good at the moment…”

Su Lu rubbed his face and peeled off a layer of flesh mask, “From now on, it’s about time for Bellu to exit the stage. Otherwise, I would surely be burdened with a bunch of warrants, and I should use my Seal card sparingly.”

He sat quietly first to recover his spirits, then turned to look at the “Nameless Necromancer Book” pierced by the dagger.

After some thought, Su Lu came forward and pulled the Demon Hunting Dagger out of the book.

Swoosh!

The moment the dagger left, the “Nameless Necromancer Book” opened on its own, revealing a proverb on the title page:

“The world will eventually perish, only the Spirit World is our final destination!”
