Chapter 494

"Clank!" after another heavy clash, Josephine Wong's metal stave was sliced in half, and the blade of the scythe cut off a lock of her hair as well as ripped a hole on her shirt. The man wearing a suit of armor and wielding a scythe laughed and pressed on with his attack, though the last strike from Josephine Wong had punctured his lungs and he was wheezing with his laughter.

"You will die now! You WILL DIE!" the man jabbed his scythe at Josephine Wong, then swiped right when Josephine Wong dodged this attack and bashed Josephine Wong to the side. After this successful strike, he lunged at Josephine Wong with the blade tip of his scythe aiming at Josephine Wong's chest, prepared to skewer his opponent.

Josephine Wong crossed the two halves of her metal stave and blocked the blade of the scythe, then she unleashed a full forced kick at the side of the blade and jumped to the side. The man turned and swung his scythe around aiming at Josephine Wong's neck and shoulder. Josephine Wong lowered her body once again to barely evade the attack, then she threw the broken stave on her left hand at the man's chest. The half a stave spun along its central axis while it flew in the air like a bullet out of a rifle. The man shoved his left hand in front of his chest and conjured a purple energy shield to guard the one punctured hole in his armor.

The sound of a large size bullet bouncing off a hard surface exploded from the impact of the half a stave onto the man's armored hand. The stave was thrown with immeasurable force and infused with a tremendous amount of Josephine Wong's magical energy, but the man's armor and energy shield were just enough to absorb the absolute majority of the power from this attack. Thus the half a stave bounced off from the man's hand, with several broken pieces of armor from the back of the man's hand.

Josephine Wong's left hand turned to claw shape and grabbed the man's right hand by the wrist. The she pulled herself forward into the man's arms with the other half of her metal stave in her hand. And like with a short sword or a dagger, she jammed the half a metal stave into the man's now bare hand, and through his hand into the hole on the chest armor and into the man's chest.

The man gasped as he fell down on the ground on his back as he felt the cold metal stave plunged into his chest, breaking two of his rib bones and only mere inches away from his heart.

But Josephine Wong did not push the broken stave down, and she proceeded to use the Dragon Claw move she learned from Nameless to disarm and dislocate the man's right arm, while pinning him down on the ground with the broken metal stave.

"What do you want?" the man asked, wheezing in his breath.

"Information." Josephine Wong said: "As the overseer of this place, you have much more insight into the internal operation of Lucias Vyn's syndicate. If you're willing to talk, she doesn't have to know that you have failed here, and more importantly, you can still live. I would imagine for a Hellinger, you'd like to continue living instead of perishing like the many before you."

The man scoffed: "You know nothing. I will not tell you anything. I will not betray her."

"Is that so?" Josephine Wong asked with a smile while jamming the half a stave slightly deeper: "Even if I tell you that I would not hesitate to end you here? "

"Again, you know nothing." the man laughed out loud: "I will not betray her. I will NEVER!"

"So it's indeed true." Josephine Wong pulled the half a stave from the man's chest and stood up: "That Lucias Vyn was once a Hellinger. Thanks for confirming that."

The man immediately went silent and closed his eyes. Jianmen went to his side and struck his chest with a palm strike. The armor the man was wearing instantly cracked and crumbled from the strike, and the bleeding from the hole on his chest had stopped. Then, Jianmen tapped several pressure points on the man's body and placed a suppression spell on the man directly through the hole on his chest and around his heart.

"Let's take him back to your place." Josephine Wong sat down on the floor beside Jianmen and said: "I have a lot of questions for him."

"I'd imagine." Jianmen smiled and looked up: "But, just a second."

Josephine Wong looked up at the sky with him, and after a few seconds, Jianmen's right hand turned into claw shape and extended into the air with lightning speed. An orange and purple claw shot from his arm and caught something in the air right above the man who was lying on the floor.

It was a ferocious looking black snake with two wings and a long scorpion tail, whose body was made of some kind of black and smoke-like energy. And as Jianmen clenched his hand, the orange and golden energy claw crushed the snake completely and burned the rest of its existence into a puff of smoke.

"Now we can go, with no delivery entity for curses behind us." Jianmen smiled.
