Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Failure (Please Subscribe)

Sara raised her head, staring blankly at the scene before her, a curse ready to burst from her lips.

"Who are they? They really don’t play by the rules!"

During the Blood Cup War, the followers of each Master of Black Blood used their unique abilities to compete for the Holy Grail.

But that was supposed to happen only after the ritual was completed and the Holy Grail descended from the sky!

Only at that moment would the longevity blood truly mature and overflow.

All the arrangements of the Holy Blood Sect revolved around the premise of the Holy Grail’s descent.

But unexpectedly, an unreasonable guy burst in midway.

Without any care, he swallowed the ritual and the Holy Grail whole!

What was this?

Ruining the ritual?

At this time, the triangle ritual of flesh and bones was still incomplete, and even though some death and sacrifices had been collected, it was not enough to distill the real longevity blood!

"Damn it!"

The leader of the Holy Blood School roared, looking up, "They, too, are descendants of the bloodline, so why would they destroy the ritual? Don’t they have any interest in ’longevity’? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!"

’Sure enough, the mysterious person controlling the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent was intentionally destroying the ritual... Wait, the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent... the Five Rings School?’

Sara felt her head ache tremendously and couldn’t help but clutch her head, painfully rolling on the ground.

...

"Is it really that simple? Where are the federal people? Are they idiots?"

After casually eliminating many experts from different schools, Zhong Shenxiu grew impatient.

He had previously instructed the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent to rise and devour the sun as a test to see if he could directly destroy the ritual.

Unexpectedly, it was so simple, and he immediately felt profound disdain for those in the federation.

He didn’t know that the blood-red sun formed by the ritual of flesh and bones was the core of the ritual, completely repelling powers from other realms.

Even the ’perfect’ followers of other deities couldn’t break through.

Only the followers of the Masters of Black Blood could come close to the Holy Grail!

And why would the Followers of the Masters of Black Blood dare to break the ritual?

This flaw that wasn’t supposed to be a flaw exposed the ritual’s weakest point today, and Zhong Shenxiu easily broke it.

Clearly, the sixth Blood Cup War was going to end without a victor.

No doubt, whether it was the fleeing Charles or the remaining followers of the Masters of Black Blood, they would all be incredibly frustrated.

Despite their deceit and trickery before, they had intended to let the Holy Grail successfully condense the longevity blood, then compete for it.

It was like a group of robbers waiting for the fruit to ripen before making their move, never expecting someone shameless to come along, not only smashing the fruit but chopping down the tree as well!

"The feeling of being a savior?"

Zhong Shenxiu’s lips curled slightly as he looked at the continuously rising Heavenly Show Points, "Well... it’s not bad."

...

Within the passageway.

Jamie held a revolver, gasping for breath as he leaned against the door.

Inside the room, a mother was holding her child, trembling in a corner.

Outside, the sounds of low growls, biting, and banging echoed intermittently.

Bang! Bang!

The constant pounding and vibration, like the footsteps of Hell, drew ever closer.

Jamie looked at his now-empty handgun and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Although he was influenced by Zhong Shenxiu, it didn’t mean he became a puppet.

Besides swearing undying loyalty to Zhong Shenxiu, he still retained his own personality.

Under the premise of not conflicting with Zhong Shenxiu’s orders, his previous personality was still at play.

What was Jamie’s personality like before?

He hated evil passionately and was just and incorruptible...

Thus, upon realizing something was wrong, he immediately tried his best to protect the people around him.

With decent marksmanship and potions, Jamie killed quite a few walking corpses along the way and gathered a few survivors, hiding them in a room.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the survivors began to "fall ill," and Jamie’s bullets were gradually running out.

By now, they were pushed into a desperate situation.

"Don’t be afraid... the Lord of Seven Difficulties teaches us that the suffering we bear in this world is the source of happiness in the next..."

His mother muttered something softly.

The next moment, just when Jamie felt like he could hardly hold on, the persistent knocking outside the door suddenly ceased.

"Huh?"

He waited a moment and then cracked the door slightly open.

Immediately, he saw several mummified corpses lying on the ground, as if all the moisture had been drained from their bodies.

...

Merlin Avenue No.25.

Although a bit flustered, Jones finally came clean with his two sisters and explained everything.

Moreover, by ordering the servants to hide in the cellar and with the help of the Earth-bound Spirits, they managed to endure the initial chaos.

"So..."

Carmela, dressed in pajamas and arms crossed, asked, "You and Li Wei are both extraordinary beings?"

"Yes."

Jones rarely felt a bit of confidence.

"Well then, pull a rabbit out of a hat," Jennifer said expectantly.

"Cough cough... that’s a magician, not an extraordinary being!" Jones said, somewhat awkwardly, "And... I can’t do that..."

"So what use is an extraordinary being like you? Can’t even compare to a circus act?"

Carmela’s disdainful gaze pierced Jones like swords.

"I..."

Jones didn’t want to say anything; he just wanted to hide in a corner and draw circles...

"Young master, miss..."

The butler then returned from outside, bringing the latest news, "It seems the disturbances outside have calmed down... The city hall may have deployed the military, but it’s still best for us to wait until tomorrow morning before going out..."

...

In the suburbs.

A large number of federal members converged, and a temporary camp was set up.

Inside the tent, Gross held a teacup, gazing toward Byron City’s border; seeing a layer of mist, he sighed, "The edge of the Spirit Realm... After the Blood Cup war started, Byron City was already sealed... Such a level, probably only the legendary ’longevity’ could enter..."

"Please rest assured, young master, Mr. Li Wei Mojito is a ’perfectionist’; surely nothing will go wrong."

Beside him, a silver-haired butler in a tailcoat smiled as he topped up Gross’ tea.

"Am I worried about him having an accident?"

With a roll of his eyes, Gross said, "That gentleman is also a servant of the Master of Black Blood... I feel that it’s rather the others we should worry about..."

Just then, they saw the hazy layer suddenly become unstable, like rising steam, refracting various colors of light.

"What’s happening?"

There was a commotion in the camp, watching as the dream-like barrier gradually disappeared, revealing the outline of Byron City.

"The barrier... has been lifted?"

Seeing this, Gross let out a long breath, "Byron City is still there, it seems the sixth Blood Cup war has also ended in failure!"
