Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 252: Betrayal

As the Ferocious Ant King's punch moved closer and closer to Three-Tails, whether it was him, Three-Tails, or even the few Tailed Foxes that were still able to observe the two people's fight, they all believed that Three-Tails' fate was sealed and that she would surely die.

A hint of relief flashed in Three-Tails' eyes as she resigned herself to death, while an expression that was filled with bloodthirstiness appeared on the Ferocious Ant King's face, having already imagined the scene of his opponent dying.

Quickly, the punch moved closer and closer, until finally, it arrived in front of Three-Tails' head and looked about to smash it to pieces.

But just when everyone thought that everything was over, something surprising happened.

"Clang!"

Out of nowhere, a green claw appeared in front of Three Tails and wrapped around the Ferocious Ant King's fist, neutralizing the fist's power and pushing him back.

The sudden arrival of another unknown creature surprised the Tailed Foxes below, anxious to know whether this creature was an ally or a foe.

But soon, the Tailed Foxes saw the newly-appeared monster's appearance and recognized it.

"It's the Messenger!"

"The Ancestor's Messenger!"

A few voices sounded, while at the "Church of the Gem Beast", the few believers that Chu Wuyao currently had immediately raised their heads and tried to look at their God.

Unfortunately, just then, a green light flashed in the sky and wrapped the area around Chu Wuyao, Three-Tails, and the Ferocious Ant King, making it impossible not only for these weak Tailed Foxes to see what was going on, but also for the tribe's elders.

On the other side, standing inside this hidden space, the Ferocious Ant King didn't show much surprise when he noticed Chu Wuyao's arrival.

"It's you!", the Ferocious Ant King stared at the Gem Beast in front of him and said, matching its figure with that of the stone statues that had previously seen.

Knowing that he had finally met the mastermind behind everything, the Ferocious Ant King didn't show any panic but instead became excited, knowing that he was about to face a worthwhile opponent.

The fighting intent in his eyes surged and almost took a substantial form, being clear evidence of his inner excitement.

Feeling the Ferocious Ant King's fighting intent, and his rapidly increasing aura, Three-Tails couldn't help show a hint of elation on her face.

Although she had already resigned herself to her fate and was prepared to die, if it was possible to live, who would be willing to die?

However, at the same time, Three-Tails was also a little nervous.

Although she had witnessed Chu Wuyao's power before, she was still somewhat uncertain about whether she would be able to fight against the Ferocious Ant King and force him to retreat.

"Lord! Be careful...", Three-Tails stared at Chu Wuyao beside her and said, trying to remind her to not underestimate her opponent.

As Three-Tails spoke, her eyes reflected Chu Wuyao's figure, a large, beautiful monster that was covered in colorful gems, with a head that resembled that of a snake and thick, powerful limbs.

That figure brought a sense of comfort to Three-Tails, making her feel that as long as Chu Wuyao was here, she wouldn't have to worry about anything.

"Swoosh!"

Yet, just when a look of relief was about to appear on Three-Tails' face, the sound of flesh being torn echoed in her ears, accompanied by a sharp pain in her chest.

The injured Three-Tails looked down at her own body in shock, wanting to find what was going on, only to discover that a long golden sword had unknowingly penetrated her body and passed through her heart, before poking out from the other side of her body.

She followed this sword and tried to find out who it belonged to, but she looked in disbelief when she saw that the hilt of the sword was held by the Lord she had acknowledged not long ago.

"Why?", Three-Tails couldn't help but mutter as she felt her own vitality passing away at a rapid speed.

She turned her head to look at Chu Wuyao's face but what met her gaze was a pair of calm and indifferent gem-like eyes, that seemed devoid of any human emotion.

Three-Tails opened her bloody mouth and attempted to say something, but before she could articulate her thoughts, the last hint of vitality remaining in her body was extinguished, causing her body to go limb.

Shockingly, Chu Wuyao, who had just brought a sense of hope to Three-Tails, actually backstabbed her, making her suffer a miserable death.

"Swoosh!"

Seeing that Three-Tails was completely dead, Chu Wuyao took back the Dragon Slaying Sword and waved it around to throw off the blood on its surface, while without its support, the corpse of Three-Tails began falling to the ground.

But before it could do so, Chu Wuyao waved her hand casually, controlling the body of Three-Tails to fly in front of her.

Staring at Three-Tails' body, Chu Wuyao used her claw to close her lifeless eyes that were still staring in disbelief, showing the full extent of the surprise she felt before her death.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of the Fox Tribe. Your sacrifice is worth it.", Chu Wuyao whispered and although her words seemed to be comforting the dead, her voice lacked emotion, making her look quite hypocritical.

Although it seemed like a lot happened and a lot of time must have passed, from the arrival of Chu Wuyao to her betrayal of Three-Tails, less than a second had actually passed, and as such, the Ferocious Ant King had yet to react. freeweɓnøvel.com

By the time he did, Three-Tails was already dead, having turned into a lifeless corpse.

At other times, seeing one of his lifelong enemies die in front of him, the Ferocious Ant King would have become slightly emotional, but right now, he didn't have the time to pay attention to Three-Tails' death.

The moment Three-Tails died, the Ferocious Ant King's intuition, which had allowed him to survive countless life-and-death experiences, suddenly warned him of danger, pouring cold water on him and making his fighting intent subside.

"What's going on?!", the Ferocious Ant King couldn't help but wonder, feeling a fatal sense of threat.

In his senses, this threat seemed to come out of nowhere, but having witnessed the scene of Chu Wuyao killing Three-Tails, the Ferocious Ant King didn't need to spend much thought to understand its source.

Looking at Chu Wuyao who was still staring silently at Three-Tails' corpse, the Ferocious Ant King didn't retreat but instead decided to take the initiative and attack.

Under his control, his four hands turned into fists and he was about to punch forward, but just then, Chu Wuyao moved her claw again, pushing the Dragon Slaying Sword she was holding back into Three-Tails' body.

The golden sword easily penetrated Three-Tails corpse just like before, but unlike before, some unexpected changes seemed to occur this time.

Countless, tiny deep-red spots began appearing on the golden sword and spread on its surface, making it seem as if it had been dyed in blood, while its aura became stronger at a rapid pace.

At the same time as this was going on, the corpse of Three-Tails began shrinking, as if an invisible creature was swallowing everything about her.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Slaying Sword had swallowed every last bit of Three-Tails' power and her corpse turned into grains of ash that were soon blown away by the wind.

"Boom!"

The very next moment, the Dragon Slaying Sword seemed to have broken through a certain barrier and its aura became even stronger, seemingly surpassing the power that Awakening Realm cultivators and Level 3 Monsters could possess..

Feeling the terrifying power contained in the sword in her hand, Chu Wuyao, who had a God Clone and had personally experienced its power, immediately understood that at this time, the Dragon Slaying Sword's power was strong enough to threaten even Supernatural Realm cultivators.

Surprisingly, for the first time since Chu Wuyao obtained the Dragon Slaying Sword, she was actually able to bring out its full power, showing the full extent of a Dao Weapon's strength.

"Don't worry. I'll keep my word and protect the Fox Tribe to the best of my ability.", Chu Wuyao whispered, understanding that this was the result of Three-Tails' sacrifice and she had become the fuel of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Having made this vow, Chu Wuyao didn't feel emotional for long and instead turned to look at the Ferocious Ant King, who looked ready to attack her.

Facing his attack, Chu Wuyao didn't take the initiative to dodge nor did she activate the Gem Defense to defend herself, but instead opened her claws, letting the Dragon Slaying Sword go.

The moment the Dragon Slaying Sword broke free of her grasp, a golden light emerged from its bloody surface and landed beside it, before turning into a middle-aged man whose armor was covered in blood and flesh.

The middle-aged man's eyes were calm and indifferent while his body exuded an aura that was filled with bloodlust, making him look like a general that had gone through thousands of battles.

The middle-aged man didn't show any hesitation as he appeared and reached out to grab the Dragon Slaying Sword, causing the auras of the two to resonate with each other and become even stronger.

As the Dragon Slaying Sword's Weapon Spirit, the power that the middle-aged man could exert was not only equivalent to that that a Supernatural Realm cultivator could exert but even faintly surpassed it.

"For the Lord!", the Weapon Spirit spoke, seemingly announcing, before swinging the Dragon Slaying Sword toward the dumbfounded Ferocious Ant King.
