Night.

Perhaps because of the magic, the streetlights on the nearby streets were even more dim than usual.

Even the stars in the night sky look blurry from the square under the influence of magic.

"Why ......"

There was no warning beforehand.

The voice of Nian Ai Suhua's sudden question startled Mu Yue, who was slightly bent down and staring carefully at the battlefield in front of him.

Turned.

Even if the lights were dim, Mu Yue could still see the puzzlement on the girl's face.

"Why are you here to help me?"

Why?

Mu Yue didn't know.

Ming Ming Palace Xingyun repeatedly explained that the British side had reached an agreement with the [Chongdao Palace], and they just wanted to retrieve the holy relics that had been stolen.

And, in the final analysis, it was not allowed for Nian Ai Suhua's grandmother, the Witch of Calamity to steal the holy relics and betray England.

According to common sense, it is natural for the other party to retrieve the lost saint physics now.

It's just—

"Now, Nian Ai, have you been protecting that thing because you will die if you lose your grandmother?"

“…… Yes. ”

Bow your head and answer in an inaudible voice.

"Grandma's bloodline gives her very powerful spiritual power, but because of this, grandma's family has been cursed for generations—this curse is especially strong on grandma's body."

"In order to suppress the misfortune caused by the curse, Grandma will not hesitate to steal King Arthur's blood crystal, hoping to use its power to redeem - but unfortunately Grandma failed."

"Not only did she fail, but my grandmother's body was completely dead, and even her soul was imprisoned in blood crystals."

Mu Yue realized this.

No wonder the outside world would say that the Calamity Witch was dead, but Nian Ai Suhua said that her grandmother was still alive - the soul was imprisoned without being reincarnated, and it can indeed be said to be alive.

Or that life is better than death.

"What would happen if that holy relic, the blood crystal of King Arthur, you were talking about, was brought back to England?"

After being silent for a while, Nian Ai Suhua replied: "They will use blood crystals to re-improve the seal of the sword in the stone, but in that case...... Then Grandma's soul will be killed......"

From the information sent by Cui Huacan, Mu Yue knew that Nian Ai Suhua's grandfather, grandmother and parents had all passed away, and those relatives who fixed her monthly living allowance did not dare to get close to this girl because they were afraid of the cursed bloodline inherited from the calamity witch.

In other words, is the soul of the Calamity Witch, whose soul is imprisoned in King Arthur's blood crystal, the only spiritual sustenance of Nian Ai Suhua?

Mu Yue was silent.

An unsolvable knot.

Even if they weren't British, Mu Yue understood how important [Sword in the Stone] was to them.

The legendary sword of the king, King Arthur became the king of Britain because he drew this sword.

It was only natural that they wanted to retrieve the seal of the sacred artifact and perfect the important weapon of the country, but it was not wrong for Nian Ai Suhua not to let her grandmother's soul die completely.

Biting her lip, Mu Yue sighed.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought that if Gong Xingyun had a way to liberate Grandma Ai Suhua's soul, then things would take a turn for the better.

It's just now—

Dadao Shangyang has already fought with Octavier and Copperfield, no matter what Mu Yue is going to do next, it is imperative to end this battle first.

"Please, please stop!!!"

In an instant, a slash struck.

The place where the three of them fought was ten meters away from Mu Yue.

Just now, Octavier swung the two-meter-long huge knight's sword and slashed past Shangyang, like a huge laser ray, and the air that was clinging to Mu Yue's body was torn apart.

Mu Yue was stunned.

Behind him, a massive lamppost was slowly collapsing—the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

While dealing with Shangyang with Copperfield, Octavier said with ease, "Please stop! Otherwise you'll all get hurt. ”

Boom!

The falling lamp beads fell beside Mu Yue, and the distance was very close to him.

“master！ What the fuck is your magic!? Use it for Lao Tzu!! ”

Shangyang's somewhat angry voice came, and after Mu Yue was awakened, he gritted his teeth and raised his arms.

[TEPFOS-001] relies on mental power to control zhì, and how much power it can exert depends on the strength of the user's mental power.

Emperor Qi once said that Mu Yue has spiritual power that far surpasses ordinary people even without any exercise.

At the same time, his body is even more rare, and he is born with strong spiritual power.

With a thought, a pair of cannon-like devices appeared on his shoulders.

It wasn't cannonballs that erupted, but a large number of blasting talismans.

"I'll give you a lung!"

Seeing this, Shangyang was so frightened that he immediately rolled on the spot and withdrew from the battlefield, and then a violent explosion drowned Copperfield and Octavier.

Before the smoke and dust dissipated, Shangyang got up and glared at Mu Yue fiercely.

"I almost blew up Lao Tzu! You're a fucking close hit! ”

"Ahaha...... The first time with not very skilled. ”

Mu Yue said apologetically to Shangyang, and then suddenly a strong uneasiness rose in his heart.

The slash that came from the smoke and dust, like a huge tornado made with a vacuum knife, instantly enveloped Mu Yue's body.

With Mu Yue as the eye of the storm, the masonry floor, street lamps, and street trees in the square were all broken as if they had been cut by the demolition chainsaw.

Fist-sized fragments flew up, barely having time to think about it, Mu Yue reflexively protected Nian Ai Suhua, and then there was a hot and sharp pain in his back.

Together with Nian Ai Suhua, whose legs were still frozen, the two of them rolled and flew out.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Nian Ai Suhua coughed for a while, and then suddenly noticed something falling on his face.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Yue, who was pressing on him, getting up with his hands on the ground.

There was a shocking wound on his left shoulder, and blood was slowly dripping.

"Mu, Mu!"

"It's okay......"

Mu Yue, who stood up again, pressed his left shoulder with his hand and looked at Octavier and Copperfield exposed in the dissipating smoke and dust on the opposite side.

There were no injuries, as if there was no Zài in the explosion just now.

"Again, as long as you hand over the holy relics, we will not continue to embarrass you."

Octavir spoke in a calm voice, no hatred or anger.

"That's—that's not going to work...... If that's the case, Nianai's classmate's grandmother will really die. ”

"The Calamity Witch is long gone, so are you kidding us?"

Octavir frowned, and a rushing stream of water appeared in the palm of Copperfield's right hand beside him.

"Grandma is still alive!!!!"

Nian Ai Suhua couldn't help but shout out bitterly.

"I'm still alive!!"

"Stubborn!"

The tip of the huge knight's sword struck lightly on the ground.

The same storm erupted again.

"Don't want to hurt Lao Tzu's master!"

Shangyang's body turned into Dao Light and flew in front of Mu Yue and Nian Ai Suhua, turning into a huge blood mist dagger to block this slash.

After the attack, Shangyang did not show his human form again, but maintained the appearance of a large sword.

“master……”

"Huh?"

"At the end of the day, Lao Tzu is nothing more than a knife. How much power a knife is able to exert depends entirely on the person who wields it. ”

"So, master, let's use Lao Tzu well and cut off the thorns in front of you!"

- Is it a delusion? Why do you always think that Shangyang's words sound weird?

Mu Yue, who was embarrassed, stretched out his hand and gently held the handle of the big knife.

A tragic aura of seeing death as if he were at home suddenly burst out from his body.

In a trance, Mu Yue seemed to be on the battlefield.

Blood-stained eyes stared at Octavir and Copperfield in front of him, and Mu Yue said word by word:

"Fame and wealth are not enough to take ......"

"Horse Leather Shroud - May I return home!"
