Chapter 594 -362: Snatching the Sword in the Stone, Baili Xueyuan’s Friendly Sponsorship

The Impatient Knife was no longer in its original form.

It had been half a month since Lin Qi forged his first Emotion Weapon.

After half a month of growth and Lin Qi’s experiments in the Doomsday World, the weapon was now capable of killing a Tier Three Extraordinary.

An Extraordinary of Wang Qiang’s level couldn’t even last ten seconds against the Impatient Knife.

This was not only because the Impatient Knife had absorbed a sufficient amount of emotions, but more importantly, because Lin Qi himself was growing, his control over the Emotion Weapon becoming ever more refined.

Emotion Weapons are formless and intangible. They are not constructed from Spiritual Power, so even an Extraordinary with the sharpest senses cannot perceive their existence.

Unless an Extraordinary happened to possess an Ability related to emotional manipulation, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint the Emotion Weapon itself.

Even someone as powerful as MacLeod only sensed what seemed to be a disturbance behind him.

But the disturbance appeared at almost the exact same moment King Arthur made her move.

With King Arthur repelled, MacLeod naturally lowered his guard.

The invisible little knife instantly plunged into the back of MacLeod’s head, striking directly at his Sea of Consciousness!

A powerful wave of negative emotions instantly assaulted MacLeod’s mind.

An illusion seemed to materialize before his eyes.

…

A doctor in a white coat appeared before MacLeod. The uniform bore the logo of the Intercontinental Stability Trauma Emergency Company.

MacLeod was somewhat dazed.

The doctor suddenly spoke. “Mr. MacLeod, you were overwhelmed in a previous battle. Your defeat triggered the Founding-level Member assistance protocol, and we have repaired your body.”

“Unfortunately, your body has suffered irreversible damage and can no longer support any Prosthetic Body implants. We have used your preserved stem cells for physical restoration.”

‘My Prosthetic Bodies are gone?’

‘My combat effectiveness has been reduced?’

A fierce wave of anxiety washed over MacLeod.

In a violent organization like the Round Table Conference, strength was everything. If he lost his power, he wouldn’t even be able to hold onto the Sword in the Stone…

Anxious emotions began to fester, and the doctor’s voice seemed to drift into his ears again:

“That being said, there is some good news.”

“During stem cell regeneration, we purged more than ten types of viruses from your system, including HIV, HPV, HSV, syphilis… With the exception of four stubborn composite viruses that have fused with your DNA, we have restored your physical health to the greatest extent possible.”

“This is a complimentary service under the Founding-level Member assistance protocol. You will not be charged any additional fees.”

MacLeod’s eyes suddenly widened.

‘My world is collapsing!’

A large part of the reason he was called the “Gray Knight” stemmed from the powers of disease he commanded.

Manipulating viruses through the “death” aspect of his “Life Towards Death” Will Power was a crucial component of his strength.

‘Cured?’

‘This can’t be happening!’

‘Damn that Intercontinental Stability Trauma Emergency Company! Did they even ask for my permission?’

Feelings of anxiety, terror, and impatience billowed up within him.

But soon, MacLeod sensed that something was amiss.

‘My body isn’t like the doctor described. Besides… was I really defeated?’

The feelings of impatience were instantly suppressed, and the Impatient Knife, controlled by Lin Qi, was flung out of MacLeod’s Sea of Consciousness in that same instant.

‘I’m still in a fight!’

‘The person in front of me isn’t a doctor, but the crazed Martial Artist I’ve beaten to the brink of insanity!’

At that very moment, Master Ma’s fist was already right in front of MacLeod’s face!

Master Ma was puzzled. ‘Why did this Gray Knight suddenly freeze for 0.12 seconds?’

‘Could it be… King Arthur?’

‘She had a trick up her sleeve, too? To think she could affect a Tier Four Peak Grand Knight Commander at such a critical moment.’

‘Had I actually underestimated that little blonde?’

Since his Intelligent Brain had been destroyed by MacLeod early on, Master Ma was completely unaware of the communication between King Arthur and the Wizard.

But Master Ma was who he was. As a top-tier Martial Artist, he would never let an opportunity slip by.

This punch represented a complete role reversal!

The “M” was now the one dealing the blows!

Master Ma was on the attack!

And the target was MacLeod. Only a top-tier powerhouse was worthy of receiving one of Master Ma’s full-force punches.

Although MacLeod had shaken off the Impatient Knife’s influence in an instant, Master Ma’s fist was too close. It was too late to dodge…

The punch was heavy, and it was precise.

Taking a direct hit from this punch would leave him half-dead, if not outright killed.

MacLeod reacted instantly. He withdrew all of his Will Power, pulling it back into his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after, MacLeod closed his eyes.

In the fraction of a second before the fist met his face, an aura of “death” emanated from MacLeod’s body.

Life Towards Death!

The “death” Will Power was not the whole story; a “life force” was hidden within.

If taking this punch head-on could mean death, then he would embrace Life Towards Death!

The moment his fist collided with MacLeod’s face, Master Ma’s brow furrowed.

‘This doesn’t feel right!’

MacLeod’s body, like a heap of rotten flesh, was shattered by the punch with incredible ease.

But Master Ma was certain of one thing: his punch, which contained all his power, had definitely landed. And it had struck MacLeod’s true body, not some kind of decoy or illusion.

All sorts of indescribable matter splattered everywhere, evenly coating the inner walls of the sewer pipe.

A good amount of it even landed in the mouth of King Arthur, who was excitedly gripping the Sword in the Stone…

For a normal Extraordinary, having their head blown apart would inevitably lead to death.

But from MacLeod’s ruined body, a tremendous life force suddenly erupted.
