317 I Lied to You (1/2)
When the surrounding Holy Light Religion believers discovered her presence and prepared to concentrate their attack to eliminate the source of the sneak attack, the maiden had withdrawn her flying swords, and like a rainbow, she rapidly flew to another corner.
Her speed was staggering that even the on-scene high order profession was astonished and they failed to capture her. Dozens of Holy Light spells fell on the place where the maiden stood, only to scatter the illusion of rainbow flower—it didn’t help them at all.
Viewed from above, the crowd of concentrated groups of Holy Light Religion people seemed to be dug out and vacuumed. The more than a hundred priests, including fifteen middle-rank priests, weren’t even able to struggle, and was abruptly stirred into a pulp. The aura of the maiden hasn’t even crossed the threshold of high order profession, but the power of her sword strike has already approached the full power strike of an intermediate high order profession, which was simply shocking.
However, whether it was Nine Regions or Western Continent, those geniuses with real strength far above what appeared on the surface were not uncommon. Middle order individuals with the power of high order, though terrifying, were not entirely unprecedented. Therefore, after the initial momentary consternation, Holy Light Religion quickly responded.
Considering that the Nine Regions girl’s speed was too fast, the average person was difficult to intercept her. Thus, two high ranking Holy Knights left their position on the battlefield and followed the girl’s figure, pursuing her from behind.
Generally speaking, to deal with a young genius with explosive force, an experienced high order profession was the most suitable. As long as they showed no flaws under the explosive barrage of these young geniuses, the gap between their levels would soon be revealed. And in this aspect, the Holy Knight, with their body armor and stunning physical strength, was naturally best suited to undertake this task.
Two high order Holy Knights left their opponents to follow the maiden. Their bodies were infused with the magical spell of Holy Light, which made their speed incredibly fast. The Nine Regions girl’s movement was fast, but inevitably, her footsteps would be slowed down by the Holy Light believers.
When the two Holy Knights managed to get close to her, they immediately detected the Nine Regions girl’s weakness. Although her attack and speed were indeed unparalleled, her defense was not strong. A dozen of middle-ranking priests casually threw Holy Light spells at her, yet she didn’t dare to meet them head-on. Instead, she changed her flashing trajectory to avoid them. Against such an opponent, as long as they managed to limit her movement ability and then fully focus on defense, victory would be very easy to grasp.
”Ahead, Holy Light Cage!”
One of the Holy Knights shouted, ordering a team of priests in the front to collectively release Holy Light spells, creating an insurmountable barrier in the front. This kind of Holy Light Cage has no other special features other than being extremely strong. However, upon seeing it, the girl casually waved the red sword light and created a hole in that cage. She then went past the cage through that hole, without the slightest bit of slowing down.
”How strong is this person’s explosive power!”
The Holy Knights were surprised to find that the Holy Light spells released by dozens of priests was not able to stop her even for a second; on the contrary, she had even used it to stop them instead! The hole made by the girl was not big, it was only big enough for her, but not for the two heavily armored Holy Knights behind her. The only way to pass was to crush the entire Holy Light Cage. However, taking advantage of this delay, the maiden once again, like a flash of rainbow, rushed to another spot densely packed with priests. There was another blooming rainbow flower, harvesting more than one hundred lives.
Seeing this scene, the two Holy Knights’ eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They, immediately activated their transmission technique on their war boots, trying to appear directly beside the girl and pressuring her from two different directions.
The use of spell on their boots disturbed their armor protection for a short time. However, the two Holy Knights simply couldn’t think too much at this time. However, just as the two Holy Knights’ figure flashed and completed their transmission, they felt something appearing on the back of their heads—a huge monster was behind them. The two of them felt their vision turning black and they couldn’t think anymore.
The surrounding several hundred people helplessly watched a mottled-haired dog suddenly swelling hundreds of times, becoming a ferocious giant beast, and then swallowing the two high order professions whole, without even spitting anything!
”Oh, is this… a young demon wolf, Fenrir?”
This was the first time Faceless One lost his concentration on the fierce fighting against Bedivere and was distracted on the battlefield below.
Whether it was the appearance of Wang Lu or the explosiveness of Liu Li, none could distract his attention. However, when the demon wolf also appeared on the battlefield, Faceless One could no longer continue to ignore it.
It was not because the demon wolf was more powerful than the several previous people, but because of the successive appearance of variables, causing the quantitative change to become a qualitative change. Wang Lu, Liu Li, and the demon wolf, any one of them could be equated to an intermediate high order profession. But in this battlefield, the number of intermediate high order profession was no more than twenty. The sudden addition of those three was enough to break the balance.
In fact, the two explosive strikes from Liu Li alone had greatly shaken the Holy Light Religion camp. And then the demon wolf made its move by directly swallowing two high order Holy Knights. These two events affected the surrounding hundreds of priests and holy knights, making them not dare to continue to advance. Dragon City Guards, whose line of defense were originally tottering, suddenly received a respite.
In Nine Regions, almost no one recognized the demon wolf. But in Western Continent, those with vast knowledge were sure to hear its name. When it entered adulthood, the demon wolf Fenrir was equal to those with legendary level strength, and when it was fully matured, it could even enter the divine realm, which would be a nightmare to anyone. Fenrir’s strongest ability was the ability to devour. Anything it swallowed would be dead.
Now, it was still in its young age, so it was barely equivalent to a beginner high order profession, but once it succeeded to mount a sneak attack, even a holy knight, with their astonishing defensive power, was instantaneously killed. With its presence, except for a few people, no one was safe. In addition, the myth that the demon wolf once swallowed a god was a deadly blow to people’s morale.
If left unchecked, although Faceless One didn’t think that Dragon City Guards could succeed in turning the table, ultimately, there were already quite a lot of added variables in this war. However, from the Holy Light Religion camp, who could get rid of these unexpected variables?
”Are you trying to force my hand?” Faceless One nodded. ”Very well, as you wish.”
The next moment, Faceless One suddenly vanished from the sky. However, Bedivere, who was suddenly let loose after being suppressed and unable to breathe for a long time, was suddenly at a loss.
At the same time, Liu Li who has just retracted her flying swords suddenly saw a tall, faceless, white-robed man.
His Senior Brother has already explained to her about this person, therefore, without hesitation, the twelve flying swords which constituted her Brilliant Sword Heart fully erupted. At the same time, she also grasped her most powerful weapon, the immortal sword Skybreaker.
That terrifying and deadly rainbow colored swords strike was actually far from Liu Li’s strongest method. The full blast of her Brilliant Sword Heart was enough to make an intermediate high order profession tremble in fear.
However, for an advance high order profession like Faceless One, Liu Li’s method was but a child’s trick. Their level difference was too much. He didn’t even bother with the opponent’s attack; his holy robe and physique alone could resist it.
His attack, however, was something that Liu Li could not touch. The pressure because of his presence alone had already impeded her breathing and agitated her Jade Mansion.
However, when Faceless One was about to make his move, a very familiar thick sword light appeared before him; Wang Lu had actually suddenly appeared in front of Faceless One and blocked him. His three feet sword defense was propped up as an unbreakable barrier.
Faceless One immediately slowed down his move as if he was unwilling to meet head to head with Non-Phase Sword light. Of course, no matter how powerful the defense of a middle order profession was, it was still a joke in front of a high order profession. On Nine Regions term, the power of a Deity Stage cultivator was not something that a Xudan Stage Wang Lu could contend with.
