Due to their differing demands, Blackheart and Johnny's negotiations were temporarily at a stalemate.
In the church behind them, Carter saw that Mike had no intention of making a move in this situation, so he quickly walked out.
"What you want is here with me, but you have to release that woman first." After stepping out, Carter pulled out a scroll from his Inventory.
"The Demon Contract…" Blackheart recognized the Contract of San Venganza in the old man's hand, slightly easing his grip, allowing Roxanne to breathe, and then said with a smile, "Very good, I didn't expect to see the previous Ghost Rider here. Now give it to me!!!"
"No, you release her first!"
"You give me the contract, and I will naturally release her…"
"Then let's both take a step back. We'll exchange the hostage and the contract at the same time."
"Alright—"
Because there was no evil energy in the contract for the time being, Carter didn't feel much psychological pressure about handing over the blank contract.
As for Blackheart, he seemed determined to get the Demon Contract and had quietly signaled his three subordinates.
Ready to forcibly snatch it at any moment…
The only one still in the dark was Johnny. He had only had a slight guess about Carter's identity before, and was not sure that he was also a Ghost Rider.
He also didn't know that the Contract of San Venganza was in his hands, or even that the evil energy inside the contract had been purified.
In Johnny's eyes, he only thought that Carter, his good friend and guide, was going to exchange his girlfriend's life for the extremely dangerous Demon Contract.
Although Johnny was very moved by this action, in terms of value, he didn't think his girlfriend could be more important than the Demon Contract.
"Carter, you can't hand over the contract. You know what consequences that will cause." Johnny stopped Carter from handing over the contract, then turned and gave his girlfriend an apologetic look.
Everything was for the peace of the human world.
It must be said that there was indeed a reason why Johnny was chosen to take over the job of Ghost Rider; he had "great love" in his heart.
"Look, your Ghost Rider boyfriend doesn't seem to value you that much…" Blackheart, who had already planned to snatch her, lifted the beautiful hostage in his hand and sneered, "So, I can only send you on your way first!"
Blackheart slowly increased the pressure in his hand again, while signaling his three Demon subordinates to quietly approach Carter and the others, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
"No—!"
Although Johnny didn't want to hand over the Contract of San Venganza, that didn't mean he didn't want to save his girlfriend.
Therefore, when he saw his girlfriend about to be strangled to death, he suddenly found that profound feeling of "guarding."
After a long-suppressed roar, a large amount of Hellfire instantly ignited on his body.
Predictably, he really wanted to save his girlfriend before she was strangled to death.
Generally speaking, the hero-saves-the-beauty trope is always performed this way…
"So, are you performing a melodramatic romance?" Mike, who walked out of the church next, asked a soul-searching question.
This was the scene; the lovers, the great villain, all gathered, just waiting for the show to begin.
To get the scene back on track, Mike used his mental power to fix the "great villain" Blackheart in place, then waved his hand to free Roxanne from his grasp.
"If you're going to fight, then fight properly. You two continue." After doing all this, Mike released his control over Blackheart, then gave Johnny a look that said, 'It's your performance now.'
On the other side, Blackheart, who was free from mental control, had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered that his father, Satan, had warned him: do not provoke a human named Mike.
This powerful human opposite him was very likely the person his father spoke of.
Blackheart, who had fully felt the gap in strength, now had only one thought: to escape.
As for the Demon Contract, how could it be more important than his own life?
But Johnny, who no longer had any qualms, obviously wouldn't let Blackheart off so easily.
Johnny, whose flames were transforming into a stronger blue Hellfire, summoned his Yamaha heavy motorcycle from the side, then, riding his flaming Hell Chariot, wielding his flaming chain, charged towards the Son of Satan who was preparing to escape.
The situation was instantly reversed!
"What, your boss is already fighting, aren't you going to make a move yet?" Mike admired the scene of Johnny and Blackheart chasing each other for a moment, then turned to look at the Earth Demon, Wind Demon, and Water Demon who had already stealthily approached the group.
"Mis, misunderstanding, we never thought of making a move…" x3
Facing Mike's gaze, the three Demons, Earth Demon, Wind Demon, and Water Demon, and seeing the unfriendly looks from the surrounding Apprentice Angels and First Vampire, instantly realized their predicament, each becoming as docile as a quail.
"Boring, you're disgracing Demons…" Mike was very disappointed with the three spineless Demons, but he didn't say much more.
They were just three slightly stronger minor Demons; they weren't worth his excessive attention.
At this moment, in the distant Gobi, Blackheart, who had been chased and beaten by Johnny, seemed to have realized that Mike had no intention of interfering in the battle.
"Johnny, without that human's help, do you really think you're my opponent!" As if pushed to the limit, Blackheart finally chose to fight back.
Under the gathering of countless black qi, he transformed into a Great Demon form with two horns on his head.
Hellfire was one of Satan's means of punishing Demons in Hell, but it wasn't as effective against Great Demons who were powerful enough.
The flaming Hell Chain whipped Blackheart's body, splashing black mist, but it didn't cause much damage to the fully transformed Blackheart.
Instead, Blackheart, who had transformed into his Demon form, was not very afraid of the burning Hellfire. After fiercely grabbing the Hell Chain, he swung Johnny, along with the Hell Chariot beneath him, into the air.
After several rounds of spinning like a large windmill, Johnny was heavily smashed to the ground.
The earth trembled for it…
After the dust settled, most of the flickering Hellfire on Johnny's body also dissipated.
Then, he was pressed to the ground and violently hammered by Blackheart who rushed over.
"If you don't make a move, that new generation Ghost Rider is going to be hammered to death." Mike, who loved to watch the excitement, turned to remind the old man beside him who had a solemn expression.
Strictly speaking, a Ghost Rider cannot be killed.
But Johnny's appearance, being hammered in front of everyone, was indeed very disheveled.
"The Ghost Rider's abilities are not meant to be used this way…"
Carter sighed, pulled the cowboy hat from his back onto his head, and then let out a sharp whistle.
With the sound of "clip-clop" hooves, a white steed rushed out from behind the church.
"Old partner, it's time to let the newcomer witness a true Ghost Rider!!!"
Carter, who had mounted the white horse, pulled the reins, and his steed reared up on its hind legs.
In a perfect fusion of man and horse, Carter and the white horse simultaneously burst into roaring flames.
Then, the flaming warhorse let out a long neigh and carried Carter towards the battlefield.
Regardless of his combat power, Carter at this moment was incredibly cool!!!
Bang bang—
Two bullets burning with Hellfire whizzed past Blackheart's forehead, saving Johnny who was being hammered.
Then, before Blackheart could make his next move, he was surrounded by Carter, who was riding the flaming warhorse.
Yes, it was indeed a encirclement…
The flaming warhorse circling Blackheart continued to accelerate, eventually forming a flaming tornado.
On the side, Johnny, who had been freed, seemed to have a telepathic connection with Carter, and then also rode his Hell Chariot to join the group battle.
In their chase, the two Ghost Riders created a giant flaming tornado that could be described as a disaster.
Blackheart, caught in the storm, was swept into the sky.
Flames, storm, sand…
Under the dual magical and physical attacks, Blackheart, who had completely lost self-control, had his Demon Body's defense breached.
His body peeled away like porcelain, piece by piece, and finally turned into dust in the fiery storm.
