Chapter 112: Escape
In the confrontation all the time, it was actually the sword of benevolence of the passive side that struck first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info had been standing still, he rushed through the distance of tens of meters in one step, and almost instantaneously rushed in front of High Priest Xander, and punched the seemingly harmless old man hard.
But the High Priest of Morning on the side was not slower than him, and at the same time, he appeared in front of the High Priest of Xander with a shield in both hands, and blocked the punch with the oak shield in his hand, which was comparable to a siege crash.
With a loud sound, the sword of benevolence flew back upside down. The half-old oak shield in the hands of the High Priest of Morning seemed to be stronger than the ten steel tower shields stacked on top of each other, not only was he unharmed, but the High Priest of Morin, who was almost half the volume of the Sword of Benevolence, also did not move.
With just this punch, the Sword of Benevolence probably knew that the chances of winning today were slim. Although this punch was not his real full force, and it was not far off, High Priest Morning was unscathed after this block. For the first time, his fist and fist intent, which had been indestructible in the land of Europe and shattered countless arcane powers, were completely blocked.
The Sword of Benevolence just sank in his heart, and he wasn't too surprised. He understood that this was not only because his fist intent no longer had the same cohesion as before, and he could do whatever he wanted, but it was also the advantage of the other party's Shinto. Of course, his fist strength and fist intent are the condensation of decades of cold and summer, and his spiritual will has been tempered for thousands of years, but the old man on the other side has been immersed in the Shinto related to 'guarding' and 'guarding', and the spirit of dedication, condensed will and faith can only be surpassed. In addition, the side in his hand clearly carried a lot of history and legends, and he received the shield accumulated by many years of prayer and faith in the temple, and even the city wall was far inferior in terms of pure defense, and the superiority of the law was even more judgmental.
The shock ejection shot out in midair, and his figure quickly became blurry and transparent, and then five or six identical figures parted in all directions. It was the illusionary arcane that he had prioritized after much deliberation, and it complemented his almost unmatched melee fist technique in the Euro Continent, and could be teased and applauded by the strongest fighters in the Temple of War.
But High Priest Sandel only swept his eyes, and at the same time, the sunlight in the sky brightened slightly, and the figures created by those illusions instantly collapsed and disappeared like cracked blisters, and the already hidden figure also reappeared. Within the gaze of a High Priest of the Temple of Daylight, illuminating all the gloomy realms of sunlight, non-regular illusionary arcane magic means little.
"Amanta, let me use your light as a sword, and let me use your light as an eye. High Priest Sandel stretched out his hand and pointed at the sword of benevolence, and his whole being immediately became radiant. It's just that it wasn't the light he emitted, but the sunlight shining on him suddenly became more than a hundred times stronger.
In the open air during the day, it is absolutely stupid to fight the high-ranking clerics of the Temple of Sunlight. The Sword of Benevolence understood this very well, but at this moment, he felt the heat of his body like fire, and for the first time, he felt a sense of helplessness. Purely from the elemental point of view, such a daylight magic is only a variant branch of the fire element, but it is the most irresistible, and there is no way to dodge. He could even be sure that even if he escaped from High Priest Xander's sight right now, as long as he was still in the sunlight, the effect of this daylight magic would continue, and even serve as a signpost to point to the track.
Subject to the inheritance, his innate true qi is far inferior to Liu Xuanying's Xuantian true qi in terms of level, and the Nine Heavens Xinggang is as subtle and profound, and it is difficult to invade by ten thousand laws. Relying on the vigorous external gang and qi and blood agitation, it is okay to fight against injuries such as swords, guns and arrows, and ordinary water and fire can also resist one or two, but in the face of this kind of elemental damage with strong laws, it is very weak, and it is even more impossible to expel it.
Forcibly relying on his own strong qi and blood, as well as his own willpower, to withstand the damage like fire all over his body, the sword of benevolence rushed forward again. This time he did not face High Priest Xander again, but against High Priest Morin, who was holding a shield. He knew very well that it was almost impossible to bypass the highpriest of the protective hand, who was fully defensive, and the only way was to storm.
This time, though, he didn't punch again. The fist was his most powerful and adept weapon, but it turned out that he could not break the shield in the High Priest's hand even if he was deliberately targeted. This time, he grasped the edge of the wooden shield with both hands into claws, and when the 'Heavenly Tiger Splitting Earth' in his hand was snatched with force, his body soared into the air, and he kicked the head of the High Priest of Morin.
It was clearly uneven oak, but the feeling of his hands was grasping two smooth, round and grease-soaked spheres, and he was completely unable to exert any force. This is the repulsive power generated by the law of the shield itself, and it can only be pinched by the strength of the erect outer gang. And just as he grabbed the wooden shield, High Priest Monin also let out a low cry of rage, his thin arms suddenly rose up, and the light of his fighting spirit surged out.
With a snort, the sword of benevolence kicked out of the head of the High Priest of Morin, and the leg just swept over the high priest's head, and the strong wind brought up a large patch of white hair. And the sudden explosion of light on the oak shield, as well as the power of the high priest Morin's hands, completely shook his hands apart, and the two dark energies he had just sent were also like mud cows into the sea under the backlash of the fighting spirit. A high-level priest who can be a guardian hand is certainly not an ordinary old man who can only pray or preach in the temple, and the combat skills of the High Priest of Moning may still be quite rough in the Shenzhou martial arts, but it is absolutely the same thousand tempers, and the forcible capture of the Sword of Benevolence can only be in vain.
At the same time, two long swords and a battle axe from the side also slashed at the sword of benevolence. Of course, the others brought by the two high priests would not just watch the show, five or six temple warriors had already formed a tight defensive formation to protect Priest Brown and the other two priests, and the other three best warriors saw this opportunity to attack from the side.
If that's all there is to it, it's nothing. Just as his hands were shaken apart by the High Priest of Morin, and the three temple warriors were sandwiched, the sword of benevolence felt that the sunlight shining on his body suddenly more than doubled again, not only did the burning sensation of severe pain become more intense, but even the light of a white flower appeared in his eyes.
Boom. The Sword of Benevolence kicked the shield that was still in the hands of High Priest Morin, and flew back dozens of meters away in an unusually awkward posture before falling. He was silent, his eyes were closed, but in the dazzling light, his whole body was emitting black smoke and scorching stench, which was emitted by the hair and clothes that should have burned a long time ago, but it was suppressed by the true qi circulating around his body before, and now this suppression was obviously about to exceed the limit.
In addition, there were three wounds on his body that were not deep or shallow, but no blood flowed out between the flesh that was turned over, because the wounds exposed to the light were instantly scorched. It was left behind by the weapons of the three Templar warriors. Of course, those who can follow the high priest are all really good hands in a hundred, maybe worse than the chief guardian like Gao Wen, but the sword infused with fighting qi is still far from what he can block with his body strength alone.
"Surrender, Your Excellency the Sword of Mercy. As High Priest Sandel spoke, the daylight shining on the Sword of Mercy lightened significantly. It seems that the high priest of the Temple of Sunlight didn't really use all his strength. "You are indeed a formidable warrior, and neither me nor High Priest Morin alone is your opponent, but you don't have any chance at the moment. ”
The Sword of Charity did not answer. He has always talked a lot, but he didn't say a word at this time. Now it seems that High Priest Xander is absolutely right, he really has no chance of winning against the combination of two perhaps the most powerful clergy in Ossing City. However, after a brief hesitation, he still clenched the fist in his hand, only this time he did not rush forward again, but bent down and half-knelt and punched the ground under his feet.
With a bang, there seemed to be several bursting fireballs exploding in the ground, and tons of dirt flew up into the sky, as if covering the sky and the sun for a while, and of course, blocking the strong sunlight that had been shining on the Sword of Benevolence.
"In vain. "High Priest Xander's face was calm and unwavering. With a wave of his hand, five levitating dazzling light balls condensed in front of him. It is true that he has not used all his strength, and although the means used by the Sword of Benevolence now temporarily block the irradiation of the Sunlight Divine Technique, it has not fundamentally changed the situation. In the decades of his fighting career, High Priest Sandel had seen this kind of trick countless times, but in the end, it could only be reduced to char under the power of Amanta. Amanta believers in the light of day have the self-confidence to face all enemies.
High Priest Morning only clenched the wooden shield in his hand and stood still, he knew very well what his duty was in battle, and he also knew that the enemy he faced was not only very powerful and dangerous, but also very cunning. Of course, they had gathered enough information about this Westerner before they arrived, and they knew that he was already capable of wielding arcane magic as high as three or four rings. But it didn't matter, he and Priest Brown and the other two priests were also well prepared, as long as it was an illegal high-ring arcane, nothing was enough for them to deal with.
However, the expected arcane or conspiracy raid did not come, and the flying earth gradually fell, leaving only a large pit on the ground with a depth of two meters and a diameter of more than ten meters, but the sword of benevolence was nowhere to be seen.
"He's dug into the ground and escaped!" a temple warrior strode forward. The others hurried to follow, and sure enough, they could see a deep pit like a well in the center of the big dirt pit, and there was a faint sound of digging in it.
Sandel and Mourning glanced at each other, both stunned and speechless for a moment. In the decades of experience between the two of them, they had never seen such an opponent. The dwarves are already the best at digging earth, but it's impossible to dig a hole in a second or two with just your bare hands, which is something that only certain insects can do.
The earth beneath the pit was still surging and showing that the Sword of Benevolence below was still digging, and the sunlight from the sky shone through the pit, only making the moist dirt rattle.
"Stand back. High Priest Sandel let out a deep sigh, and with a wave of his hand, several balls of light that he had just summoned flew towards the dirt pit, and at the same time he retreated.
The others also hurriedly flew back, they all knew very well that it was the light element, a high-level variant of the fire element, and the seemingly harmless round appearance was made by condensing the fiery fire element into the inside, and once released, it would only be more violent and irresistible than the ordinary fire element.
The ball of light flew into the pit. With a loud bang, the earth that had just fallen flew into the sky again, this time the explosion was more violent than the previous one, and it bloomed with dazzling bright light and a huge heat wave, and even directly turned some of the dirt into hot magma.
After the explosion, the previous pit that was only more than ten meters wide was at least nearly twice as wide, but the depth was at least four or five times deeper, and a huge amount of earth was blown away, leaving only a pit more than ten meters deep in place.
But the figure of the Sword of Benevolence was still missing, and in the center of the ten-meter-deep earth pit, there was still a seemingly bottomless deep hole, and there was still a faint sound of digging inside. In just a few seconds, the sword of benevolence below seemed to dig down for tens of meters.
"This ...... Doesn't think it's arcane?" High Priest Xander also felt helpless. No matter how powerful the daylight magic is, it is also powerful against a gopher-like enemy who burrows into the ground like this. With his strength, it is still possible to summon the light element to continue exploding, but it is also impossible to dig such a pit endlessly, and the soil around the pit will naturally collapse.
"He's just digging with his strength. High Priest Morning could only shake his head. "The unique Western martial arts training has given him more strength and dexterity than any warrior in his bare hands, and this layer of soil is about the same as pudding cheese for him. We miscalculated. ”
"But he can't stay underground all the time...... How long does Lord Monning think he will be able to hold out?"
"I've heard that a good fisherman can hold his breath underwater for more than ten minutes, and a high-level warrior with a strong body and good control over his circulation may be able to achieve more than twenty minutes of mobility...... But if he has the corresponding arcane art, then I don't know......" High Priest Monin's face became more and more ugly the more he spoke. Even if it's only about 20 minutes, you can easily dig out kilometers away at the current digging speed. Under the wet, soft soil of the swamp, it is difficult for even seasoned adventurers to hear the movement dozens of meters underground. "How long will the magic that Lord Sandel cast on him last? that's the only way we can determine his location right now. ”
"Two days. Amanta's gaze can last for two days. But only if he is in the light of day for me to perceive his position. High Priest Xander's face was equally ugly. Of course, he also understood that with the wit and cunning of this Westerner, such a chance was absolutely not great.
"We're still careless after all. We should find some more people, at least let Gawain come along. High Priest Morning sighed.
At this time, a gushing spring began to emerge from the bottomless pit, and the turbid water rose rapidly, turning the pit into a pond. This marked that the Sword of Benevolence below had dug into the underground river, and he no longer even needed to exert physical strength, and could reach the distance quietly with the drift.
"Let's go. We've done what we need to do. Elven messengers will deliver messages to all temples on the continent. High Priest Sandel sighed as he looked at the pool of water that had not moved in the slightest. Looking up into the distance again, Mu Qinyi, who was still watching from a distance, had already disappeared.
