Chapter 491: Chapter 491

Before the last few hostages from the dungeon taken by Jianmen completely disappeared into the portal, Jimbo’s Pawn Shop was leveled in mere seconds by a powerful tornado. Josephine Wong raised her two arms and conjured a light blue wall of energy around them and blocked off the destructive power of the tornado.

 

With the entire pawn shop gone, Josephine Wong and Jianmen saw the man who ran the motel in which they stayed, and another man whom they never met before standing right outside, staring at them with weapons in their hands.

 

The man who ran the motel had a barbed wooden bat stained with blood, while the other man, someone who actually wore a suit and had a pair of glasses on his face had a long and grim looking scythe with several arcane symbols engraved on the handle as well as the blade.

 

“Who are you?” the man with a pair of glasses asked Josephine Wong and Jianmen while they pushed the last of the hostages into the portal while gently pushing his glasses upward: “Who do you work for?”

 

“I don’t know how to answer that. Why don’t you take a guess?” Josephine Wong smiled and adjusted her bracelet, and a long metal stave with relief sculptures of dragon, tiger, phoenix and a monster that was a hybrid of tortoise and serpent appeared in her right hand.

 

Neither Jianmen nor Josephine Wong used any camouflaging spell to cloak what they looked like while they were here. Instead, they used some other much more meticulous spells and artifacts to alter their energy signatures and the external appearance of their power, and Josephine Wong even took on a completely different fighting style. This was because looks of power wielders, especially magic, as one would expect, were extremely easy to fake, which meant that for stealth and sabotage operations, almost no one would be expected to be using their real looks. Energy signatures and fighting styles were another story.

 

“Boom! Boom boom boom … ” an explosion occurred beneath the ground, it was another wave of Jianmen and Josephine Wong’s earlier doing at work - the extra purple paper flowers and folded paper sigils they left behind placed at the central part of the underground array exploded and critically damaged many parts of the underground array. This weakened the containment of the dungeon even more, as many of the prisoners locked underground started breaking free from their cells and some of them even started attacking the inner perimeters trying to break out.

 

“Do you even know what you’re doing?” the man who ran the motel tried to charge at both Jianmen and Josephine Wong, but was stopped by the man in a suit and had a scythe in his hand: “These are not just innocent people, these are … ”

 

“You have us to worry about, and they’re still your concern, are they not?” Jianmen scoffed and said: “Did Lucias Vyn give you this talking point? Or did you come up with it on your own?”

“You shouldn’t have uttered her name like that.” the man wearing a suit stared at Jianmen: “I don’t care who you think you are and who you work for, it’s very very unwise to behave in such a brash way.”

 

“Says the leader of a group of peeping Toms.” Jianmen laughed out loud and played with a spinning ice shard with his fingers: “Are we doing this or not?”

 

The man in a suit sighed and shook his head, then almost without warning, he charged at Jianmen with his scythed raised and glowing in purple light. But before he could even reach Jianmen, Josephine Wong rushed before Jianmen with her metal stave jabbing forward at the man in a suit. A loud clunk exploded as the stave clashed with the scythe. The collision between the light blue and purple energy on the two weapons caused an explosion that pushed both Josephine Wong and the man away.

 

“Aaaaah!” the man who ran the motel charged at Josephine Wong from behind, his body now releasing dark red smoke, his body had grown to almost twice his previous size and his muscles became layered and bulging like he came right out of an anime. Almost all of his clothes were torn up to shreds as a result of this change in size, including his pants. The barbed bat also grew to almost three times the previous size, signifying that it was no ordinary makeshift weapon.

 

Josephine Wong turned around and spun her metal stave, the man charging at her from behind tried to swing his barbed at her but his bat was instantly deflected and ended up hitting the ground. A car tire sized crater appeared on the solid concrete ground with splinters flying everywhere as a result. Josephine Wong’s metal stave turned around her neck and delivered a blow to the man’s head on the right side of his face with the other end. The light blue energy on the stave exploded and cracked the man’s right face and almost the entire right side of his jawbone.

 

The man wearing a suit stabilized his position after clashing with Josephine Wong, then he adjusted his glasses and lunged at Jianmen once again. This time, he let out a loud and high pitched scream while he was still in midair. A purple shockwave swept through the ground between him and Jianmen and almost reached Jianmen’s position in an instant. Also coming with this purple energy wave was an attack of the mind and spirit. If it was any lesser opponent, they would have fallen into delusion and confusion.

 

But Jianmen just pushed his hand sideways to unleash two gushes of strong wind and propelled himself just outside of the range of this purple energy wave. When this man in a suit swung his scythe down at Jianmen once again attempting to release an energy attack at him, Josephine Wong charged at him from the side once again with her metal stave swinging upwards from below aiming at his wrists.

 

“Clunk!” the man had to pull back his scythe to guard against the metal stave. After the two weapons collided for another time, the man rode the impact backwards and landed several feet away.
