Chapter 35: The Phantom King Fragment
After hearing this, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of Dean and the others, so they hurriedly raised their arms to cover it and took a few steps back at the same time. When they opened their eyes again, they found that a thick pillar of light had completely sealed the only exit in front of them.
Dean pulled a hair from the top of his head and threw it into a pillar of light, which instantly turned into a cloud of smoke. Leon looked up and found the light source in the direction from which the pillar of light was coming from. This dazzling pillar of light comes from mirrors in every corner of the room. The mirrors that refracted the glow of the roof sunstone were now adjusted at an angle to concentrate more than half of the light sources in the doorway, forming a beam of light.
At this moment, Emperor Gang, who was in the distance, shook the circular compass in his hand that could control these mirrors, and said with a gloomy smile: "It's not easy to come to me as a guest, how can you just leave?" ”
Dean looked around and realized that there was really only one way out in front of him, so he quickly made the decision to snatch the compass from Emperor Gang's hand. There's never been a better time to get out of here safely, without delay.
At this moment, Emperor Gang, who was sitting on the stone carving, had no one around him to protect him, and Dean did not hesitate and rushed straight towards Emperor Gangdi with his arms attached. But before he could run far, several pillars of light swept towards him. In the face of the high-speed pillars of light, Dean did not waste his strength to dodge, because even if he was fast, he could not be faster than the speed at which these pillars of light swept in.
Dean's body was locked by several pillars of light, and his clothes quickly spontaneously combusted. Fortunately, at this moment, Dean had already attached the dragon armor all over his body, and there were not many light sources condensed by the pillar of light, so he was not seriously hit except for some burning sensations.
Emperor Gang, who had been approaching Dean with a rainbow of momentum, was quite surprised when he looked at Dean who was wearing black dragon armor, but he did not show the slightest fluster. The compass in his hand twisted slightly, increasing the number of beams of light aimed at Dean.
Dean felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and at this moment Dean had activated the "One Change" armor state, and even his hair was covered with pitch-black dragon armor. As if he was a warrior wearing dragon-shaped armor, he rushed straight towards Emperor Gangdi at a faster speed.
When he was only about three steps away from the huge stone sculpture in front of Emperor Gang's throne, Dean jumped high and smashed his right fist, which had been covered with pitch-black dragon armor, into Emperor Gang's cheek.
However, the punch was blocked.
A short, middle-aged man stood between Gundy and Dean's punch.
The big butler finally successfully peeled off the three red threads in his body, although the wound on his chest was still bleeding, but it would not prevent him from cutting into the battlefield again.
Dean, who was held by the arm of the big butler, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was covered with a hand. Then, like a stone, it was thrown to the ground by the big butler. The ground paved with the hardest golden-veined granite in the field was also smashed into a huge crack by Dean's body.
Dean's body that had been smashed on the ground was bounced up more than half a man's height before it fell heavily again, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The butler slowly lowered his figure and walked towards Dean, who was no longer able to get up. Not far away, Leon and Shi Qing, who had been trapped in place by Emperor Gangdi with a pillar of light, could not pass through the pillar of light like Dean did, so they could only stay in place.
Seeing that Dean was in a mortal situation, Leon suddenly shouted loudly to Emperor Gang: "You have put so much effort into it, don't you just want those things that have been lost?" If you want to see it so, then I'll show you! ”
After saying that, the back of Leon's neck was full of red light! It slowly condensed into a ball, and then after a brilliant sparkle, it turned into the form of a bird. Around Leon's body, he hovered happily like a living creature.
Emperor Gang's eyes lit up, and he grinned: "Phantom King Fragment! ”
The grand butler standing in front of Dean also stopped moving, staring at the red bird beside Leon in silence.
More than ten years ago, the Wright family, a formation family that had been inherited for hundreds of years, was exterminated on charges of apostasy. At the time, only a few people knew the inside story. In that brutal massacre, there was actually a young survivor who managed to crawl out of the gates of hell along the filthy sewer. Emperor Gangdi has always been interested in this survivor, and invested a lot of financial and human resources to obtain information, and finally locked the suspect on Leonardo.
Leon squinted slightly, felt a sigh, and stared at Emperor Gang's eyes and said: "The Illusory King Fragment is a treasure book that every warlock dreams of, and any part of the knowledge involved in it is enough to rewrite the current cognition of the warlock world, and even control the pattern of the world. But it's such a good thing, and it also ruined my family. There have been many times when I've wanted to forget the contents of this fragment, but I've never been able to. Because it's my biggest revenge on those in high positions. ”
Emperor Gang, who was in the distance, looked at this young man who had gone through a baptism of hatred and pain before he lived to the present, and smiled: "I don't think you know that the tragedy back then was not entirely because of the Phantom King fragment, right?" ”
Leon asked with an expressionless face: "Aside from those high-level formations born from the Illusory King Fragment in my family's private collection, as well as the fragment itself, what else do those old things in the Holy See have to watch!?" ”
Emperor Gang grinned and laughed: "Of course, if the Wright family was willing to hand over that kind of thing to the Holy See, none of this would even happen." ”
Leon felt more and more confused, and he didn't say a word but looked at the tall man who was already laughing from tears.
"That kind of thing is the only sage in ten thousand, that is, you."
Hearing this, Leon was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but take a step back.
Gangdi continued: "The sage is a saint who is one in a million, and it is said that he is born with inexhaustible spiritual power. And in this Illusory King fragment of the Wright family, the strongest formation recorded is exactly what requires the physique of a sage to perform, and this formation is the thirty-six bird diagram engraved on your body now. In the history of the Wright family, there was a sage who could control the thirty-six bird figures. And during that period of history, the Wright family was even strong enough to influence the rule of the royal power. Of course, the Pope will not like your presence, so he forces the Wright family to hand you over to the Holy See. But your parents seem to be extraordinarily stubborn, so ......"
Leon never thought that he was the culprit of the family's destruction, and after hearing Emperor Gangdi's explanation, his heart became more and more cold. He now finally knew why his father, who was the patriarch, had poured all his energy into himself; Why can I get the thirty-six bird pictures that my brothers and sisters can't touch; Why, at the last moment, everyone is protecting themselves. It turns out that it's just because I'm the damn sage.
"Little guy, since it was more than ten years ago, what's the use of feeling nostalgic now? It's better to do something practical, like revenge. Although I was not involved in the old case, I was very interested in your family's affairs, so it took a lot of effort to get your sister's body. ”
When Leon heard this, he suddenly lifted his spirits, glared at Emperor Gangdi and asked, "What did you say!?" ”
Emperor Gang smiled and replied in an extremely provocative and strange tone, "If you are interested in remembering it, I can take you to my specimen collection room for a tour. You can rest assured, she has been well preserved by me, except that she has no clothes to wear. ”
Leon clenched his fists and shouted, "I want you dead!" ”
With that, the small red bird that was swimming around him flicked its wings violently and rushed towards Emperor Gang. The great butler, who had been watching Leon closely, did not stop in the slightest, and took a step in front of Emperor Gangdi, and slapped the red bird back with force.
But after the red bird popped out for a few meters, it twisted lightly in the air, and then shot at Gangdi again. This time, the chief butler spread out his palms and held the flying red bird in his hand.
Emperor Gangdi drank the red wine in his cup in one gulp and shouted to Leon in the distance, "What? Do you want revenge for this? ”
Leon's expression was indifferent at the moment, he didn't speak, and slowly raised his arms. With this action, Leon's back burst into red light, and in an instant, twelve small red birds condensed.
The twelve red birds flew around Leon's body, their crisp calls endless.
The chief butler looked at the strange scene in front of him and smiled helplessly: "It seems that it will take a little effort." ”
At the same time, Wuxiang and Anne are also fighting.
Ever since those strange red threads appeared in Wuxiang's hands, Anne had shifted from being strong to passive. At this moment, the red silk on Wuxiang's hand seemed to be extremely excited, fluttering wildly in mid-air, cruising around Wuxiang's arm like countless small snakes constantly searching for prey.
Anne tore off the torn cuffs completely, tossed them aside, and began to slowly adjust her breathing. For Anne, who is good at hand-to-hand combat, the absence at this moment is a little difficult to deal with. Every time Anne wanted to get close to Wuxiang, those headache-inducing sharp red threads would sweep in one piece, and as long as she was hit, she would inevitably add a bloody wound.
Wuxiang looked at the little girl in front of him who had been unable to bully herself and could only keep dodging, and said with a smile: "Even if you are unlucky, in order to deal with the big butler who is good at hand-to-hand combat, the old man specially sent me and meatballs." In the face of our brothers' abilities, hand-to-hand combat type of heavenly warriors, there is basically no other way than to escape. ”
Anne shook her arm and said to herself, "Many years ago, there was a people who lived deep in the mountains. The people there are said to have been honored by the god of life, and they have a very strong vitality through the inscriptions on their foreheads. But overnight, for some reason, it was slaughtered by the Holy See as a demon. ”
After listening to the little girl's inexplicable words, Wuxiang tilted his neck and said with a smile: "I know what you said, it is said that the old man had just begun to prepare for the organization of the 'Divine Shadow' at that time. The first thing I went to was the deep mountains, trying to recruit the guys there. But he was rejected, so he killed them all when he was angry. But in the end, a surviving baby boy was found and brought back to Marinope to raise, and the little one is now a hot new person in our 'Shadows'. Poor little fool, he doesn't know that he is working for his enemy. ”
Anne twisted her neck, and then the intricate inscription slowly appeared on her forehead, and the surface of her body began to glow brightly.
"It's a pity that the old Wang Ba didn't kill it at that time, and he also missed the baby boy's sister!"
