Chapter 1859: Chapter 973: Taboo ACE-015, Wooden Fish_2

Forbidden item, the dark sorcerer’s gloves.

The shadows of the buildings covered the figures of the two men. Qing Ji opened the shadow gate, appearing behind the Duke of Storm City. Though the Key of Gate and shadow gate couldn’t leave this spider web array, they could still be used within it.

Qing Ji swung a punch, but the Duke of Storm City seemed to have anticipated this, as he was already waiting to catch his fist and kicked him in the waist!

A cracking sound came from Qing Ji’s pelvis, it was fractured!

Destiny juggler!

Seize the initiative!

The Duke of Storm City, willing to live only 60 years in exchange for this legacy, displayed terrifying power in this battle.

It’s not that Qing Ji was weak, but the Duke of Storm City had too many advantages that no one could handle him in a face-to-face fight.

A physique far surpassing human cultivators, speed comparable to a knight, godlike combat intuition—all these combined into one person, creating a monster by King Roosevelt.

The Duke of Storm City calmly said, "Do you believe Black Spider can just take him away? Within the spider web array, a thousand death warriors are waiting for them to walk into the trap. Your sacrifice is meaningless."

Qing Ji wiped the corner of his mouth but did not retreat: "I just need to do my part. I rarely trust others, and I hope she won’t disappoint me."

He wanted to stand up, but with a fractured pelvis, he couldn’t stand.

"Foolish," the Duke of Storm City vanished again.

Troubled yet resolute, Qing Ji held a copper coin tightly in his hand.

Forbidden item ACE-062, Judgment coin.

Containment conditions: If the host dies while protecting others, the Judgment coin will be automatically tossed before death. If it lands head down, the perpetrator will be judged; A-class and below will surely die, while A-class and above will be bound by rules, becoming blind.

This forbidden item suits Qing Ji’s lineage best. They were born to protect Qing Zhen’s bloodline, and their ultimate measure is to exchange life for cost.

The containment condition for this forbidden item is the host’s life.

But just as the Duke of Storm City was about to crush Qing Ji’s skull with a punch, the air in his path unexpectedly exploded, blasting him back!

The Duke of Storm City slid back over ten meters on the ground, unfazed as he stood, looking casually at the tall building beside him. Li Dongze stood thoughtfully atop the rooftop: "You’re a demigod, and we’re A-class. Teaming up to fight you shouldn’t be shameful."

The Duke of Storm City looked up at Li Dongze: "A futile struggle."

In an instant, he leaped, defying physics, and raced up the vertical building wall!

Qing Ji’s pupils shrank at the sight of the Duke of Storm City’s peculiar old black boots, supporting demigod-level combat without damage.

Another forbidden item!

At this life-and-death point, all the top experts of the East-West Continent revealed their trump cards!

Li Dongze raised his right hand, continually compressing air between them, creating air bombs one after another, yet the Duke of Storm City, as if aided by divinity, dodged ahead of time each time, running vertically along the building wall in a zigzag path.

Glass after glass shattered behind the Duke of Storm City, crashing to the ground like a rainstorm, akin to the dust and sand kicked up by a car in the desert.

Knowing he couldn’t win, Li Dongze retreated, but the Duke of Storm City was too fast, leaving him with no escape.

Cloaked in a black robe, the Duke of Storm City leaped like a great bird, soaring up to the rooftop.

The Duke of Storm City swung a fist, and Ye Wan flashed from behind Li Dongze, taking the hit with a honeycomb-like yellow energy shield!

However, the honeycomb-like energy shield also shattered!

Three A-class opponents couldn’t withstand the Duke of Storm City together!

Just then, the spider web cracks in the ground began to seal, as if the land had never been affected by the forbidden item, this world in a ten-kilometer radius was ’healing’.

Li Dongze retreated, pulling Ye Wan as they leaped out from the twenty-first-floor building, shouting: "Qing Ji, the spider web array is open, run!"

He and Ye Wan jumped off together, Ye Wan opened a glider, carrying Li Dongze toward the distance.

Qing Ji hesitated for a moment on the ground but eventually opened the shadow gate, someone behind it pulling him inside.

The battle stopped.

The sandstorm had dispersed, the spider web cracks vanished, and the tide of cockroaches retreated underground.

Fires lit all over Central Royal City, leaving nothing but ruin.

The Duke of Storm City pressed the communicator: "Have you found Joker?"

Someone hesitated to answer through the communicator: "Sorry, Your Grace, we didn’t find him. Our encirclement failed, and the enemy broke through in two directions. Joker likely escaped from either."

The Duke of Storm City remained expressionless; once the spider web array failed, with the shadow gate and the Key of Gate, keeping Joker was unrealistic.

Standing on the rooftop, the Duke of Storm City showed no disappointment.

The Destiny Juggler got what he wanted.

When fate intertwines, even enemies might not know what the Destiny Juggler plucked from the river of fate.

However, what’s odd is that after Qing Chen injected the serum, his figure gradually faded from God’s perspective.

...

...

Black Spider, carrying Qing Chen, ran swiftly with Yi towards the edge of the spider web array.

Yet Black Spider did not wait for the spider web array to vanish; she murmured, "While the sandstorm blocks surveillance, hide in my safe house first. I know the Destiny Juggler, the edge of the spider web array will have hidden traps; forcing a way out is unrealistic. Hide in the safe house, wait out the storm, then contact Qing Ji for support."
