Chapter 16: Prelude (2)
There are still two days left before the day of Li Anping's accession to the throne.
In the Western Continent, the canonized province of the Codex Country, somewhere in an underground cave.
A loud chant resounded throughout the underground space, and in the huge square, there were thousands of men in metal power armor. They were Templars of the Order of Truth.
At this moment, they knelt on one knee at the same time, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and quietly prayed towards the icon in the middle of the square, and thousands of Templars spoke in unison, matching the chants in the space, giving people an eerie sense of holiness.
"What are we?"
"Swords and spears!"
"Why are we?"
"Slay the demons in the darkness!"
"What we want!"
"I beseech the mercy of the Lord and go to Hell together to destroy all the evil of mankind!"
With the sound of thousands of people praying in unison, three tall men slowly walked towards the icon in the center. They wore black cloaks that shrouded their entire bodies.
But even so, with every step of their foot, the sound of metal clattering can still be heard. These three men were the Grand Master and Deputy Master of the Templar Order.
At this moment, in the underground cave, except for the knights who were led by the deputy head of the group, Krahn, who went to New Dongyang but were completely wiped out, all the 4,454 Templars of the Order of Truth had already arrived.
With one prayer after another, the atmosphere became more and more frenzied. In the light, the shadows of the Templars danced like demons.
The three men shrouded in cloaks finally walked under the icon.
The leader gently lifted the cloak on his head, revealing a head of white-blond hair. It was a very rare hair color, and when it fell in this dim cave, it even emitted a faint fluorescence, making the man look full of a sense of sacredness.
At the prayers of the four thousand four hundred and fifty-four Templars around him, he slowly knelt down on one knee and stretched out his hands under his cloak. It was a very clean pair. A strong hand is like a little dust that does not touch the world.
And now, this pair of white hands was gently pressed on the ground. Like a holy angel came to earth.
The moment his hands touched the earth, nine gray thoughts gushed out from the ground. The Nine Dao Nian Qi was like nine gates to the endless underground world, directly opening nine passages on the ground that could only allow one person to pass through.
In the superpower sequence, the strongest known ability in the external system, the country of Yellow Springs, is activated at this moment.
At the moment when this ability was activated, the prayers around him became louder and louder, as if the Holy War was about to begin, and every Templar on their faces. They all showed bursts of fanatical smiles.
"We pray for the blessings of Heaven!"
"To the end of the earth, all things are the things of the Lord!"
"We are the punishers of the gods of the earth!"
"With the wrath of heaven, burn up all the sins of the world!"
I saw that something seemed to rise from the nine dark passages, and with the prayers of the knights, more thoughts were thrown into the passages from the man's body.
A terrible roar came from the depths of the passage, and a pitch-black palm stretched out from the passage.
The entire surface of the passage seemed to be covered with an invisible barrier, and the palm of this hand stretched out against the thin black barrier.
First the hands, then the arms. Shoulders, and even heads.
Want to get out of the passage, and it's a person?
It's just that no matter how hard the person tries, the black film never breaks. Like a firm layer of plastic wrap, tightly wrapped around the figure's surface, it looked like a dark ghost trying to crawl out of hell in anger.
The situation at hand. The man who activated the ability suddenly let out a low sigh, and more thoughts rushed out of the passage. And as more thoughts rushed out, the black ghost seemed to be helped. Lunge upward.
I only heard a thud, as if the barrier of the world was broken, the black film burst with a bang, and the figure under the film also instantly drilled out of the passage.
Then there were eight more rings, and a total of nine people emerged from the passage.
They were naked all over their bodies, and their skin was all an eerie gray, especially their eyes, which had no pupils at all, and were completely white.
One of the men who crawled out at the front slowly stood up, scratched his head, and muttered, "Where is this?" I remember that I was ...... with Li Anping"
"You're dead."
The man who got up looked incredulous, he looked at the golden-haired knight, and said angrily, "What are you talking nonsense? Who are you. Where is this? Do you know that I'm ......?"
"The fifth-level ability of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Song Bang." The knight smiled, "My name is Paladin, Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Song Bang, you are dead, but I have pulled you into the world again.
Although the time is only three days, you have a chance to take revenge. ”
But Song Bang didn't pay attention to him, but looked at his gray body blankly, and said to himself in disbelief: "I'm dead...... Am I dead? ”
The other eight were all attracted by the conversation between the two.
Seeing them all look at each other, Paladin smiled and said, "Guys, you all remember how you died, right?" ”
"Song Bang."
"The Terrible."
"Bloodseeker."
"Zhu Rong."
"Hades."
"King of the Kirin."
"Samael."
"And Krahn." Accompanied by Paladin's roll call, the people in front of him looked over one after another: "You are more or less, you all died at the hands of Li Anping." And now that I have awakened you from Hell, I am giving you a chance at revenge. ”
The Qilin King snorted coldly and said with an unruly face: "What if I say no? ”
Paladin shook his head and snapped his fingers lightly.
The Qilin King's face immediately changed drastically, and he saw a black substance emerge from the ground, like layers of mud, along the Qilin King's legs, gradually wrapping him completely, and finally dragging him back into the underground passage, completely disappearing.
Paladin said coldly: "So, who else disagrees? ”
The rest of the eight had different expressions except for Krahn, whose faces were reverent, but no one objected.
The Templars then presented the eight fifth-level capable people with clothes and armor. However, their gray faces, combined with pure white eyes, look more like zombies than people.
Then each of them sent them a piece of information, which recorded some of the circumstances that happened after their deaths, as well as a rough estimate of Li Anping's current strength.
Among them, Song Bang reacted the most, his face kept changing, and he shouted: "How is it possible? Li Anping, that bastard, how could he ...... How could it be ......"
And the Thunder Emperor, the reaction of the blood demon was also not good-looking, I didn't expect that after they died, the world would change so much, and Li Anping's strength had risen rapidly, reaching an incredible situation.
In contrast, the rest of the people who died more than the later abilities were not so surprised. After all, when they were killed, Li Anping's combat effectiveness was already very amazing. However, the development of Great Xia in the last year, as well as the strength shown by Li Anping in Xindongyang, are still enough to shock them.
The Hades King said in a cold voice: "Counting the eight dead people here and the three of you, there are a total of eleven fifth-level abilities. But even so, it may not be able to deal with the current Li Anping. ”
Behind Paladin, a man with silver hair and eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything was also uncovered.
He was none other than one of the three lieutenants of the Knights Templar, the Vision of God, Walford.
"That's right, with the combat power of everyone present, it may not be able to win the current Li Anping. And as time goes by, his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and there is not much time left for us.
That's why we have to hurry up, the sooner we destroy it, the lower the danger, and this time it's not just us who are besieging Li Anping. ”
After hearing these words, the faces of the Hades King and the others were different. And Walford didn't care, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the crowd: "There it is." ”
Accompanied by Walford's words, Tang Weihan, who was disguised in the crowd, palpitated, and felt that his heartbeat seemed to be static at this moment.
In front of him, there are eleven fifth-level abilities.
Just when he was thinking about luck, Walford actually walked straight to him.
Without doubt, without pause, he walked straight in front of Tang Weihan.
And behind him, the other ten fifth-level abilities looked over at the same time, feeling the eyes of these monsters, Tang Weihan's heart sank. (To be continued......)
