Chapter 13: The Gods Meeting
Just as Su Xiao was waiting for the assassin to attack, a hint from the Reincarnation Paradise suddenly appeared.
Due to the actions of the Hunter, the hidden quest has been triggered in advance: the Gods Society

……
Seeing the content of the task, Su Xiao was really a little surprised, the unknown force was called the Society of Gods, and their leader was actually a duke, that is, a saint.
The old duke, the Duke of Li Lin, the Lady of the Moon Wolf, and the Duke of the White Dragon are all four people, and one of them is the leader of the Society of Gods.
But why do the saints kill the descendants? You must know that the power system of the Sierra Empire is the foundation of the saints' lives.
Assassinating the other dukes was simply self-defeating, and the four dukes knew this, but one of the four of them did just that.
A certain doubt in Su Xiao's heart suddenly became clear, that is, why the gods would be able to develop to such a scale, and now it seems that with a duke behind him, it is reasonable that the gods will have this scale.
Su Xiao felt that it was actually unlikely that the four dukes would do this, and as soon as he thought of this, a certain force suddenly appeared in his mind, the abyss!
The abyss can be said to be the most mysterious force, they once tricked mortals to kill gods, and the appearance of the undead, that is, the saints, was almost single-handedly promoted by the abyss.
Why does the Abyss do this? The answer is easy to guess, it is to use these undead, but what the abyss did not expect, the undead formed the Serra Empire, which is completely out of their control.
The abyss forces are the founders of the saints, but they are not the controllers, the abyss originally wanted to be the controller, but unfortunately failed, and in the long run, the abyssal forces will inevitably be dissatisfied, and then use the previous way to deal with the saints, and bewitch the saints to kill each other.
Of course, this is just Su Xiao's unilateral speculation, and it may also be that the duke who established the Society of Gods wants to accomplish something, a subversive event, so he needs to use the current means, for this reason, he does not hesitate to let the power system of the Sierra Empire half collapse, and as a duke, he can hold great power in a short time.
Whatever the possibility, the Gods will surely eradicate the Saint King.
Among the four dukes, Su Xiao felt that the old duke was the most suspicious, and suspected the old duke because of the first conjecture of the abyss, and the emblem of the old duke's representative was the snake of the abyss.
The second suspicious is the Lady Moon Wolf, the Duchess is an extremely selfish type.
Then there was the Duke of White Dragon, because he never showed up.
The one with the lowest suspicion is Duke Li Lin, he has paid too much for the empire, as for the fact that the gods will not kill innocents indiscriminately, this is consistent with his integrity, it is not the case, Li Lin is just notarized and upright, he kills people, and the old duke is ruthless.
Su Xiao's mind was spinning rapidly, and when he was about to think of something, a short knife suddenly appeared in front of his left temple.
Click!
The crystal layer was cut a little, and Su Xiao's hand wrapped around the crystal layer held the short knife that stabbed him.
"Just a little bit, I thought of ......"
Su Xiao tilted his head slightly, and it was rare to speak during the battle.
A slender figure in a black robe appeared in Su Xiao's line of sight, judging from her posture, this was a young woman, holding a short knife less than half a meter.
The silence around the castle was always quiet, which means that the guards in the courtyard have been dealt with, quietly, and these guards who have taken money and worked for their lives are not innocent in the eyes of the gods, so they are going to die.
The black-robed woman stood beside Su Xiao, motionless, and her sense of crisis was like a sharp needle, stabbing her everywhere.
Knock knock knock......
Heavy footsteps came from the other side of Su Xiao, and then there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.
Bang!
The wave of qi spread, and a fist full of calluses slammed into Su Xiao's raised right arm, directly knocking him back.
"Are you alright?"
The strong man in the dark spoke, but unfortunately, the black-robed woman did not answer her, and a stream of blood spurted from her broken neck, staining the ceiling red.
The black-robed woman fell to the ground with a pop, and not far away, Su Xiao was standing on the back of a wooden chair, holding a head in her hand, and the expression on the head was obviously stunned.
The strong man standing in the darkness had an urge to turn around and flee immediately, but his loyalty to the Society of the Gods allowed him to curb this impulse.
Bang, bang......
The window was smashed, and twelve figures leaped into the room, neatly dressed, dressed in white robes and metal masks on their faces.
With the help of the moonlight, Su Xiao looked around at the twelve people, which was very good, and it already made him feel dangerous.
Zheng~
The dragon slashing flashed softly, and the long knife was unsheathed, this spirit-level long knife showed its power for the first time in the abyss world.
"Light."
The twelve spoke almost at the same time, and the power of the holy gods enveloped them, you know, only the first group of saints had mastered the power of the gods.
And the Twelve, they are not even saints, but powerful human beings, this should be some kind of technology of the Society of Gods, so it can be seen that it is not unreasonable for this organization to call itself so.
"Ming."
The twelve spoke at the same time, and after they uttered the word 'light', they were enveloped by a soft golden light, which was connected to each other, representing life and holiness.
The twelve people are 12 holy swordsmen, plus they are all wearing heavy armor, and they use each other's holy power to heal each other, and their survival ability can be imagined.
And in the next moment, the twelve people pulled out the knight's sword under the white robe.
The Eye of the Apostle floated beside Su Xiao, and after he checked the information of these 12 people, he found that the physical fitness of these people was not weak.
Not only that, these 12 people, per capita swordsmanship master Lv.30 ~ Lv.40 or so, one or two is nothing, 12 people besiege together, it is a little terrifying, there are more ants and gnaw dead elephants, not to mention twelve swordsmanship masters, and it is also about Lv.40.
The current situation is no more obvious, Su Xiao's performance when investigating the Duke of Angry Lion, as well as his actions against the ghosts, have completely annoyed the Gods Society, so the Gods will directly send a killer weapon.
As soon as Su Xiao was about to step forward, the twelve people almost simultaneously slashed the knight's sword in their hands.
Zheng!
Twelve golden swords were intertwined, but Su Xiao didn't stop and continued to rush forward.
One after another sword rays slashed past Su Xiao's body, he was in a state of spatial penetration, and he couldn't hurt him at all.
Rumble!
The blood-clad Su Xiao exploded at the center point, and he directly swept out a blood-colored afterimage, appearing behind a holy swordsman.
'Blade Knife Hour. ’
The shock spread, and the twelve felt the air around them begin to thicken.
The green steel shadow energy surged on the long knife, and Su Xiao leaned down slightly and slashed out.
'Blade Knife Pole. ’
The Blade Knife Pole is the ability that Su Xiao perfected in the fifth layer of the Land of All Beings this time, it does not have the super speed of the green ghost, there is no large-scale slash of killing, there are some, it is just the unparalleled slash intensity, all of Su Xiao's passive abilities, as well as the true damage of the green steel shadow, plus the sharpness of the dragon slashing flash, are all exerted to the limit by the 'Blade Knife Pole', so it is called 'Pole'.
Poof!
A half-broken knight's sword flew up, as well as the head of a holy swordsman.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, and the other 11 holy swordsmen all looked pained, stepped back, and gathered together to fight the boss...... Begin!
Blood dripped down the tip of the Dragon Slayer's knife, Su Xiao glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, he originally thought that these guys similar to 'Paladins' had a tough physique, so for this, he directly used the 'Blade Dao Knife Extreme'.
But who would have thought that one would die with a knife, they were all sorry for their forced style when they first appeared, of course, this was related to being slashed in the neck by Su Xiao, after all, the neck was critical, and there was no armor to protect it.
Under Su Xiao's sword, these holy swordsmen wearing heavy armor and thick skin seemed to be a little brittle.
