Chapter 370 Responsibility is the shackles that the strong put on themselves
Jin Ping's mocking words not long ago pierced into his heart like a boomerang.
Hearing this, the old man suddenly widened his eyes, and his wrinkled face turned red in an instant.
"Ho ho."
"what!!!"
Ignoring the frantic Jin Ping, Russell turned around and said, "You've been watching for so long, it's time for you to come out, right?"
Bai Yueming and the other two were shocked when they heard this; they hadn't noticed that there were other people present.
There was an eerie silence for a while, and then a burst of applause suddenly came from mid-air, and then a figure appeared in front of everyone.
It's Adley.
The Indo-American Federation's top card maker [White Crown] Edley.
He clapped his hands lightly, looked at Russell with a little admiration on his face, and said, "Mr. Luo really opened my eyes."
Seeing his appearance, Jin Ping and the Skinner suddenly showed a desire for life in their eyes. In contrast, the expressions of Bai Yueming and the other two turned ugly.
However, Adley ignored the two groups of people with different thoughts at the scene. He just looked at the Spirit King beside Russell curiously.
Although the middle-aged man in the dark blue suit saw the strongest among the gods of death for the first time, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Soon, he remembered where he felt this familiar feeling.
The cards of those top card makers in the Church of Europe seem to have this kind of divinity?
Adley still remembers that the other party said this was called "the omniscient and omnipotent Lord."
At this moment, he thought with interest, "Interesting, I wonder how those old guys would feel when they see this card."
In Adley's perception, this strange existence in front of him was closer to the so-called "omniscience and omnipotence" than the cards of those old guys in the Vatican.
Of course, it was only close, he didn't believe it. After all, if he was truly omniscient and omnipotent, there would no longer be such things as demons in the world.
On the other side, seeing that the Indo-American Federation's Hall of Fame card maker had not spoken for a long time, Russell said in a cold voice: "What is the purpose of your visit, please tell me directly."
In fact, he already knew of Adley's existence when he summoned the Soul King for the first time. After all, if the opponent did not deliberately hide his existence, there was no way to escape the Soul King's detection.
This is also the reason why he chose to summon the Spirit King again after activating the [Art of Reincarnation].
If it was just to deal with Jin Ping and the other wounded who had already been severely injured by Ye Zhou's attack, it wouldn't take much effort to deal with them even without summoning the Spirit King Russell.
In response to Russell's question, Adley's face showed some distress, as if he was worried about what to say next.
Seeing the middle-aged man's pretentious appearance, Russell couldn't help but curl his lips, and then pointed out the other party's purpose: "Mr. Edley came for her."
As he spoke, he pointed at the Flayer who was under the control of the Soul King.
This is not difficult to infer. After all, Russell learned that there was some connection between the Skinner and Adley when he rebelled against the Spirit Begging Society last time.
Hearing this, Adley nodded a little embarrassedly, then scratched his cheek with his fingers: "Hmm"
"So Mr. Luo can release Sakaga?"
"If you would, I would be very grateful."
Sakaga is the real name of the Skinner.
Hearing what he said, Bai Yueming and the other two standing behind Russell exchanged glances.
You must know that in the disaster that happened not long ago that was enough to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, the sins committed by the Skinners were not much less, even if they were not as great as Jinping's.
For war criminals like this, even slow slicing would not be excessive.
But now there are people who actually want to use light words to let the Ming people let her go. It's really ridiculous.
Can.
Who made him a top-notch card maker?
Unable to help but sigh in their hearts, Bai Yueming and the other two looked at Russell's back.
They gave the choice to the young man in front of them.
Whether accepting or rejecting, they were willing to follow his will.
For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence, and everyone was waiting for Russell to make a choice.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes
Russell was slow to act.
Just when everyone thought he would choose to swallow his anger temporarily, something strange happened.
Jin Ping and others who were controlled by the Spirit King suddenly made a "mmm" sound, and then began to struggle violently.
Jinping never expected that Russell would dare to attack in front of Adley. Didn't he know that the Skinner was related to the other party? !
The old man with the hooked nose stared at Russell in disbelief with his bloodshot eyes, but he only saw an expressionless face.
Seeing this, Adley immediately put away the fake smile on his face and then frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man in the dark blue suit was really unwilling to fight with Russell. After all, in his current condition, he was not sure that he could defeat the opponent without getting hurt.
What's more, he didn't know how many times the young man on the opposite side could use that terrifying method of refreshing card cooldown in a row, and he didn't want to take the risk.
However, as soon as Adli summoned his cards, he found that Jinping and the two master-level demons were no longer moving, and only the Skinner was still alive.
Although he survived, the Spirit King still did not release his control over him.
After witnessing Jinping's death, the Skinner, who always appeared very calm, had cold sweat on his face.
Even though she was extremely frightened, she still forced herself not to say anything, for fear of angering Russell.
"Mr. Edley, are you planning to take action?" Russell glanced at the card next to Edley and said indifferently, "Where is your [Supreme Machine God Quetzalcoatl]?"
"Why don't you call him out?"
At this time, Bai Yueming and the others were extremely nervous and were ready to fight the hall-level card maker in the air at any time.
The tense atmosphere continued for a while, and then Adley suddenly put away his cards.
He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Fine, I understand what Mr. Luo means."
"But I wasn't going to let you let Jinping go anyway. I can even do it for you if you need me to."
"As for Sacaga"
Having said that, the middle-aged man stopped talking and pointed at the Skinner.
The next moment, in everyone's sight, the limbs of the woman with the feather crown suddenly disappeared.
The master card maker was reduced to a human stick in an instant.
This was certainly not simply cutting off the limbs. Based on the feedback from the Spirit King, Russell knew that the existence of the Skinner's limbs had been conceptually deprived.
At this time, Adley's voice sounded again: "So, everyone in Daming should be satisfied, right?"
There is no doubt that although he behaved very politely, anyone present who was not stupid could understand that this was a naked threat.
After all, since Adli could turn the Skinner into this appearance, he naturally had the ability to turn those who were not as good as the Feather Crown Woman into this appearance as well.
Of course Russell could also think of such a simple and easy-to-understand truth.
However, he also knew that the reason why Edley acted so relaxed was that he, like him, took advantage of Ye Zhou. After all, although Jinping and the Skinner survived the attack of [Dongjun], they also suffered extremely serious injuries.
After a moment of silence, the Spirit King released his control over the Skinner, and the unconscious woman suddenly fell toward the sea.
But as Adley sighed, she appeared behind the middle-aged man like a ghost, and with her appeared a set of life-support equipment that looked very bloody. After doing this, he nodded to Russell, and said with a little apology on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your kindness."
"Then I will leave first and not disturb you with your aftermath."
As soon as he finished speaking, this top-notch card maker from the Indo-American Federation disappeared from everyone’s sight.
After learning from the Spirit King that the other party had indeed left, Russell, who had been tense, suddenly felt relieved.
He knew that the reason why Adli gave in was because his palace-level card [Supreme Mecha God Quetzalcoatl] was suppressing those secret realms in Antarctica.
Even if the opponent could defeat the Spirit King with just the few cards he just held, it would probably cost a lot.
Of course, no one knows if Adli will ignore the overall situation and directly call back the Supreme Mecha God Quetzalcoatl if a fight really breaks out.
This is also the reason why Russell finally chose to let the Skinner go first.
If possible, he also wanted to kill one of the culprits who caused all this.
Unfortunately not.
After losing Ye Zhou, the Ming Dynasty could no longer withstand the turmoil in a short period of time.
"So, whose side are you on?"
"Addley."
Thinking of Adley's extremely contradictory behavior, Russell's expression became uncertain for a moment.
Judging from the other party's willingness to suppress the secret realms in Antarctica, there is no doubt that the other party should still be on the side of Blue Star.
But if that was the case, Adli shouldn't have allowed the Skinner to collude with Kingpin and watch the Four Evil Gods come.
Could it be that the demon in that secret realm in Antarctica is a palace-level demon, but the Four Evil Gods are not?
Just as Russell was thinking about Edley's motives, Bai Yueming, who was standing behind him, asked with some concern: "Xiao Luo."
"Don't think too much, you've done a great job."
The old man was telling the truth.
At this moment, all the living Ming people have no right to blame Russell for his recent choice.
Or in other words, if it weren't for Russell, the Ming Dynasty would probably be gone by now. Even if it did survive, there is a high probability that it would be wiped out by other forces on the blue planet.
For example, Tsarist Russia, and the Indo-American Federation.
"Teacher, I'm fine."
Russell certainly wouldn't get burned by this kind of issue, he's just a little tired.
After all, after Goryeo dealt with Fox Nine and Zero, he rushed back to Ming without stopping.
Then he summoned the Spirit King and had a fight with the Four Evil Gods. After the fight, he had to deal with Adley who suddenly appeared.
Of course, there is not without good news.
That is, after Russell summoned the Spirit King, he was naturally promoted to the master level.
Bai Yueming and the other two also noticed this at this time. They were somewhat surprised at first, but then they were relieved.
After all, Russell's previous performance could already be regarded as a master-level player, not to mention the trump card of the Spirit King.
This is a killer move that can be used to fight against hall-level masters, even though the Four Evil Gods only stretched out one of their arms just now.
Not knowing what the elder behind him was thinking, Russell just glanced at the Spirit King, who nodded slightly and then raised his hand.
As the pale blue spiritual pressure swept across the entire venue again, the surviving Ming card makers felt a warm current surging through their bodies, and then they found that their injuries were improving rapidly.
However, the main purpose of the Soul King's action was not to heal the card makers present, but to quell the impact caused by the previous group of masters and above.
The main purpose of this is to deal with the rainstorm caused by Ye Zhou’s last blow before his death.
If we continue to ignore the situation like this, most of the coastal cities in Ming Dynasty will be flooded.
At this moment, the heavy rain seemed to be paused in mid-air. Then, the originally slightly dry seabed quickly began to fill with sea water, and the clouds in the sky became thinner and thinner.
Before long, the sea returned to normal.
The golden sunlight shining on the sea made everything look so peaceful, as if nothing had happened not long ago.
After doing all this, the Spirit King slowly dissipated beside Russell, and the young man stretched out his right hand, looking at the sunlight falling on his palm in a daze.
When the dust settled, the catastrophe finally came to an end with the basic destruction of the city within the city.
But after losing Ye Zhou, Ming Dynasty's victory could only be considered a tragic victory.
If given a choice, no one would accept this outcome.
At this time, Bai Yueming stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder, and said with concern: "Xiao Luo, go back and rest first."
"Leave the aftermath to us."
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but retract his thoughts, then turned his head to look at the teacher and shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, teacher, I can still hold on."
"Just think of it as sending Ye Diantang off for the last time."
After hearing what he said, Bai Yueming and the other two stopped trying to persuade him. They just sighed deeply, then disappeared from the spot and began to deal with the impact of what had happened not long ago.
Ye Zhou’s death could not be concealed. After all, everyone present heard this fact.
What's more, Bai Yueming and the others were not going to hide it, as that would undoubtedly be disrespectful to this hall-level card maker who had given everything for the Ming Dynasty.
But the matter is of great importance, so Ye Zhou's burial must be held on an auspicious day as a state funeral.
And most importantly, his death will seriously undermine the confidence of the people that has been hard-earned.
Fortunately, there is a remedy.
Obviously, Russell, who had just turned the tide, was the best replacement.
Exiling the four evil gods and forcing Aidri to retreat, is there any better publicity than this?
However, at this time, Russell did not know that he had been appointed as Ye Zhou's successor.
He just stood on the choppy sea and thought about what to do next.
Although the Spirit King is indeed very strong, it is not a long-term solution after all.
Even though Russell can summon the Spirit King twice in a row with the wonderful combo of [Reincarnation Technique], it can only be used as a trump card, and cannot be summoned at the beginning of the battle like a normal card.
So in the end, we still have to make normal master-level cards.
Fortunately, Russell has already collected all the materials for the first master-level card, and he only needs to restore his own status before he can start making it.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly, and disappeared above the sea under the leadership of Spider Girl.
Only a whisper was left there, drifting away with the wind.
"farewell."
"Ye Palace"
