Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 373: Escape (plus 5000, asking for subscription)

If Anfi knew about Rod’s inner thoughts, she would definitely scoff at them.

After all, through Rod, she had a slight understanding of the transcendent world and knew the value of inheritance.

A complete inheritance from first to fourth level could create a transcendent family. It was not something that poor Rod could afford.

Even if the other party promised to find her a better profession, it would definitely be some incomplete ones, not even necessarily having the fourth level.

Although the [Demon Hunter] had risks, there was hope at the fifth and sixth levels.

Anfi, who knew how important a choice was, thought carefully and decided to choose this way.

After all, her family were all believers in the Goddess of Light, there was no stress for her to believe in the Goddess and become a [Sacred Warrior].

The two of them chatted while disposing of the body of the [Winged Demon].

“Whew… Finally done.”

Anfi let out a long sigh and invited, “How about going to a nearby bar for a drink? I heard the local specialty, blackberry wine, is very good…”

It seemed that due to her excessive mental pressure, she had picked up a habit of excessive drinking.

“No… We have to leave here right away.”

Rod frowned, “Killing this [Winged Demon] will trigger a chain reaction… and the organization is still tracking us like hyenas… I’ve received news that they might be nearby.”

“Black Light?”

Anfi trembled.

This was an evil organization that she and Rod had inadvertently provoked during a hunt for dark creatures.

Although it was incomparable to the Black Death Society and the Ancient Snake Society, it still put great pressure on them.

“It’s a pity then, we must leave immediately. I’ll book tickets for tonight’s steam train…”

Anfi shrugged her shoulders, taking the documents that Rod handed her.

Of course, they were all fake.

Night time.

Steam train station.

Many homeless people and beggars sleeping on the long benches.

As Rod waited boredly for the train, he ate a hot dog with tomato sauce while flipping through a newspaper he had purchased, browsing aimlessly.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrunk.

A headline appeared prominently in the financial section:

“Orchi Telegraph Company goes bankrupt, founder jumps off building, company is bought out!”

In the details, it mentioned the Telegraph Company and the inventor of the two technologies – Su Lu Pottery!

“He… appeared. I knew he wouldn’t die so easily…”

Rod murmured.

For the first time, Anfi saw this determined man’s eyes welling up with a hint of redness and asked uncertainly, “Who?”

“Su Lu!”

Rod rolled up the newspaper, his tone firm: “I’m going to White Eagle City!”

Because the news was brief, he only knew that Su Lu had become a wealthy tycoon, the chairman of the Telegraph Company, and was not aware that he was in Green Tree Castle.

“Your missing brother?” Anfi realised.

She didn’t know exactly what had happened to Su Lu, but from Rod’s description, she still felt he was impressive, “Let’s go then… Wow… I didn’t expect your brother to be so rich, he must be one of the Federation’s wealthiest. Maybe… he can help us deal with the trouble from the Organisation Black Light.”

“That…”

Rod was somewhat confused, but his brother always had many mysterious ideas.

For example, publishing news across the Federation like this is more secretive than any notice, but it’s clear in conveying some information.

Just then, he was suddenly taken aback.

A keen sense of presence from demon creatures caused Rod to shift his gaze to several men in black coats approaching from different directions.

His expression tightened as he sensed the hostility from these men.

Rod gently pulled Anfi’s hand next to him and abruptly stood up to walk towards the exit.

This sudden move confused the encroaching men in black coats.

They hesitated, then changed direction, heading towards Rod’s position.

“As expected…”

Rod felt a cold chill inside. Underneath his clothes, his skin had already turned jet black and hardened.

Half demon creature form!

He didn’t want to change into a demon creature in public. This would get the attention of the Goddess Church and they would issue a warrant for him!

As a former Demon Hunter, he knew the key to this very well.

Thinking of this, Rod quickened his steps and started running.

“Stop him!”

The man in the back of the black coat shouted.

Rod took a deep breath, forcefully dashed towards the man in the black coat who was rushing towards him.

Bang!

In the muffled sound, the man in the coat was sent flying as though he had been hit head-on by a steam train. He landed heavily on a wall, blood and broken organs splattering all over, clearly, he wasn’t going to survive.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when a gap appeared in their enclosure, Rod darted out.

“That’s…”

The surrounding passengers were shell-shocked, speechless.

It took them ages to react with one passenger shouting: “It’s a professional… Quick… notify the police station!”

The remaining people ran chaotically, heading for the refuge.

With the “Professional Registration Act” now in place, through various forms of education, people in the Federation are very clear on how to respond to a fight involving transcendent beings.

The most critical point is that you must never rush up!

With the physical strength of an ordinary person, unless armed with a high-power gun, it is tough to pose any threat to the professionals.

Protecting oneself is the first choice.

As for the fighting parties? There are official talent coming to solve the problem.

Rod moved quickly. In a few dashes, he ran to the outskirts, into a dense forest.

Once there, he transformed into his demon creature form without any reservations, horns and flesh wings sprouting.

“He’s there!”

“Fire!”

A group of men in black coats surrounded him, various mysterious firearms appearing in their hands.

These were all equipment made by alchemists. The bullets were even equipped with powerful demon hunting runes. Even Rod, in his current state, dared not take them head-on.

Without reaching the quality and elevation of a legend, even a fourth level master has to fear the tactics of swarming!

He hid in the darkness, prepared to entangle with the opponent slowly, exhausting their lives.

“You can’t escape.”

At that moment, a man with a scar on his face shouted loudly, “We have more patience than you in terms of time… Wait until the official transcendent arrives, they will see your true face, by then, the people belonging to the Goddess Church will replace us in hunting you down!”

These words caused Rod’s heart to sink, “I’ll fight it out!”

He made up his mind, if he couldn’t escape in the end, he must destroy his identity information and not cause trouble for Su Lu and Anfi.

‘What a pity… I haven’t seen Su Lu yet, nor found my father…’

Rod clenched his teeth, crawling in the shadow, ready to counterattack.

Just then, he heard a commotion.

It seemed that the Black Light Organization’s people had been attacked from another side.

“Could it be Anfi? That stupid woman!”

Rod cursed in his heart, “Did she follow to find death?”
