With the flickering of the sword light, the last demon who rushed into the hall of the temple was pierced twice by a heavy crossbow in a row, and was finally split in two by Chen Kai's giant sword in mid-air (full text e-book free download) When it fell from a height of more than ten meters, the ground of the entire temple hall was already covered with the corpses of the demons. biquge.info Since Chen Yi had never used the power of her aura to purify the demon corpses in the temple, while maintaining her own magic power and body fullness, the entire hall of the temple was plunged into blood.
If Chen Yi could release the aura, those demonic blood containing evil power would be burned to ashes in an instant, instead of covering the entire hall floor of the temple like it is now, exuding a disgusting bloody aura.
For Chen Kai, who had just hacked to death a level sixty-eighth-level high-level elite demon, he felt that he must have been stunned by the heat when designing the wooden platform under his feet. Although he always knew that the platform was a bit small, it wasn't until the moment when the battle entered the extreme heat that he really realized that the floor was a little too small, so small that the group could only shrink on the floor and could not move much. Even as long as Zhao Tiezhu put up his shield and blocked it to the side, Fei Yun's shooting boundary would be directly blocked, and he couldn't even turn to dodge. Xu Fei could only shrink on the wall with Chen Yi, leaning on two small wooden stools. The worst thing was that the two of them couldn't move yet, because once they messed with Chen Kai, the space in which they wielded their weapons would be affected. Especially the unlucky Xu Fei, if Chen Yi released the magic aura, he would be even more miserable, in order not to be suppressed by the terrifying aura power, he had to squat on a bench with an area no larger than two feet.
In such a state, it was difficult for Xu Fei to release spells, and his vision was obstructed by Yan zhòng, it was impossible to cast spells visually, and the power of blind spells was too scummy. Among the ten spells, there are almost no ones that can hit the target and produce effects, so in the whole battle process, Xu Fei and Chen Kai are the only unlucky ones who have not gained experience points, and they are also one of the people who have preserved their combat effectiveness. When Chen Kai and the others sat on the floor resting breathlessly, Xu Fei could finally stand up from the shrunken place and poke his head out to look down.
For them, those demons that were just killed not long ago were definitely a very lucky thing, because these demons turned out to be physically attacking. If there were a few demons who could release spell attacks like that shemale demon, Chen Kai and the others would definitely not sit on the ground and rest as easily as they are now, but the wolf bèi was unusually caught in a bitter battle, and their heavy crossbow would be directly blasted into slag by the demon's spell. Even if Fei Yun's heavy crossbow could kill the opponent with a single blow through the demon's heart, it still took time to wind up and load the arrow, if three or four suddenly rushed in at that time, then no matter how fast Fei Yun's attack speed was, he would not be able to kill all the demons. The most important thing is Chen Kai, they don't know which demon can cast spells at all, and the demon's spell-casting ability will not be reflected in the clothing, unless it is a full-time demon mage. But even a full-time demon mage may wear chain mail, after all, the demon's body is much stronger than ordinary humans in nature, and even the weakest mage can still walk like flying in chain mail. As for those who believe that wearing metal armor will affect the power of spells and the speed of magic convergence, they definitely haven't been on the battlefield or actually participated in battle. The mage doesn't wear armor, it's definitely not because the metal armor will hinder the spell cast, but because the metal armor is too heavy and heavy, and it will impress the coordination of the hands and feet when the spell is cast. Especially when holding a spell for a high-level spell, the coordination of gestures is very important, because the change in the weight of the wrist leads to the lack of gestures, and there are too many mages who eventually make the spell fail and hang up, so that the mages who have learned their lessons in the back rarely wear heavy metal armor.
But for demons, metal armor is not much of a problem at all, and even a full-time demon mage has enough endurance for metal armor. Even some demon mages can carry a battle axe as a warrior to rush to the front line, and directly reward you with a fireball spell the moment you think the other party is a warrior. Fortunately, Chen Kai and the others are only facing ordinary warrior demons now, they don't know any spells, and even those flying fireballs don't have much damage. If the fireball hit the wooden floor under Chen Kai's feet, maybe they would still be worried, but those fireballs hit them, so Chen Kai wouldn't be worried. The most important thing is that these demons all wanted to hack Chen Kai and them to death with the weapons in their hands, but when they were all dead, no fireball was released. If the actions of these demons were known to the gang of people who attacked Zela Fortress in the original continent, it was estimated that they would be so angry that they would directly kill them themselves, so as not to let them lose the face of the demons.
Although the demons attacking Zela's Fortress are also mainly physical, at least some of the time they will use natural spells, especially those who will collectively release a small fireball to bombard the walls when they launch a dive attack. If these demons can also come when attacking, it is estimated that Chen Kai and they have become charred corpses on the side of the road by now.
"These guys seem to be learning to behave!" Xu Fei squatted on the observation hole dug in the wall and cautiously looked at the demons that were constantly gathering in the square outside the temple, and there were more than fifty demons appearing just as far as his eyes could see. The most important point is that among these demons, there have been demons wearing armor and regular patrol equipment, these demons are constantly holding steel knives and shields in their hands, and there are also a lot of spears stuck in their backs, which is the biggest threat to Chen Kai and them.
"This guy should be an acquaintance of yours, right? Fourth! Xu Fei looked at the mad demon in the square who was roaring at the other demons and said to Fei Yun, who bit the bread and walked to the observation port and nodded immediately. Fei Yun is too familiar with that mad demon, so familiar that he can't wait to eat its flesh and drink its blood. He was whipped for the first time in his life, and although it was only a little bit, it was enough for him to be depressed. Of course, the so-called whipping corpse was learned by checking the system records after he was resurrected, so Fei Yun didn't know that he was not hanging on the pillar, and in his mind, the mad demon Long Zuer must have done something angry with his body, so Fei Yun didn't tell anyone about almost being whipped, he was afraid that Chen Kai and they would want to be crooked.
"That guy's name is Long Zur, and he should be regarded as a small wave SS-level demon, at least a commander-level demon!" Fei Yun took a bite of the bread fiercely, and the strength of his teeth chewed the bread to pieces in an instant, and in Fei Yun's mind, it was not the bread but the meat of Longzur that he was biting in his mouth.
"It does look like Boss, at least a little bit of a brain didn't rush in directly with people!" Xu Fei continued to observe the other party's movements, and those demons carefully formed a complete team after being reprimanded by Long Zuer, and moved towards the gate of the temple little by little. In particular, the large shield in their hands was directly blocked in front of their bodies, hoping to rely on the power of the shield to block the attack of the heavy crossbow.
"The brainy wave SS is the most annoying!" Zhao Tiezhu's voice came from the corner of the floor, although he didn't like what he said, but it undoubtedly said the hearts of all Chen Kai and them. For them, they would rather meet a hot-blooded idiot who will only rush forward with their little brother than meet such a sane monster who knows how to send their little brother to death in a row.
"Get ready! I hope there are no spell demons in this wave, otherwise we will probably have to learn from the fourth! Chen Kai gently wiped the blood from the giant sword, and then looked at the broken places on the wooden floor. Although Chen Kai had already considered that there would be a battle when they were building the floor slab, and especially strengthened the strength of the floor slab, the wood was still wood and the strength of the wood itself was not high, so many places were destroyed by the demon and Chen Kai themselves in the battle. Although the strength of the broken wooden plank is still there, it is difficult to withstand the high-intensity impact, and it may only take one trampling to trample through the floor slab. At that time, Chen Kai and the others will fall from mid-air and fall half to death. So Chen Kai was very worried, but unfortunately no matter how worried he was, there was no way to change the problem they were facing, and when he finished wiping the giant sword, the first team of demons had already rushed in with their shields held high.
"Kill them! Let these outsiders taste the wrath of the demons, Khedira is our demons!! Long Zuer's voice kept echoing at the entrance of the temple gate, and the huge voice made it clear to Chen Kai who was in the hall. However, Chen Kai was despising the other party in his heart, because it had no other ability than to shout twice, and he didn't even dare to show his face. For such an obscene and death-fearing demon leader, both Chen Kai himself and Fei Yun who used the crossbow machine were very angry, because if they could kill the other party at the moment of the start of the battle, it would be a big blow to the demon's morale. Unfortunately, this qiē failed because of Longzur's fear of death, and Fei Yun could only pour crossbow arrows on those demon soldiers who carried large shields. The sharp bolts were still unusually sharp against these metal shields, after all, it was powered by a crossbow string with a pull force of more than 800 kilograms and a crossbow arm that guaranteed such a pull. Such a terrifying pull caused the bolt to break the sound barrier at a split point when it was released, causing a series of sonic booms in the air.
Therefore, the heavy crossbow in Fei Yun's hand has another name, the Broken Sound Crossbow, and because he took the most well-preserved one of the Zela Fortresses, all the parts are almost composed of green parts above the excellent level, causing this Sound Breaking Crossbow to be directly crowned with low and excellent quality when it is at the system level, that is, it has reached the light blue level. In the hands of players in the original continent world, especially in the hands of thieves, the green-level crossbow machine is so rare that it is hard to find, after all, the crossbow machine is not like an ordinary weapon, and a bad match of one part will affect the overall attributes of the crossbow machine. Similarly, as with the current Broken Crossbow, all the parts are green and excellent, and the good assembly makes the finished crossbow machine a low-grade and sophisticated one. Even if there are no stat values attached, just reducing the 10/10 rewind time and increasing the power of the 5/100 crossbow bolt are enough to drive many thieves crazy. It's a pity that Fei Yun's crossbow machine is not visible in the original continent, if he can return to the original continent, the first thing to do is to erase the various marks on the crossbow machine, which may cause indelible damage to the crossbow machine. Therefore, Fei Yun can now use this sophisticated-level crossbow machine, and there is no such heavy crossbow that can be used when he returns to the original continent.
The terrifying sound wave when the crossbow bolt was fired tore through the air between Fei Yun and the demon soldier in an instant, and the moment the cloud explosion sound when the sound barrier broke through, the shield held high by a demon soldier had been completely pierced. With a soft clatter, the demon soldier's body slowly fell to the ground, a large hole in its chest the size of a bowl. The culprit that caused this qiē was naturally the heavy crossbow arm in Fei Yun's hand that was extended again, the elongated crossbow arm was two meters and a half, and the original eight hundred kilograms of pulling force was now one ton, and the most terrifying thing was that the crossbow arrows shot were no longer one but three. Three crossbow arrows that pierce steel shields and create large bowl wounds in the demon soldiers' chests serve as amulets for these demon soldiers. When the demon soldier's body completely fell to the ground, the damage caused by the other two crossbow arrows was also displayed, shooting three arrows at a time and taking away the lives of three demons of up to level sixty-five, Fei Yun's happy tail was about to this time. It's a pity that the more they rely on special weapons to kill monsters, the less experience they get, Chen Kai and they can get thousands of experience points by killing more than sixty monsters, but Fei Yun can get a thousand points at most. But Chen Kai and the others need to take a lot of effort to kill the demons in their sixties, and the only thing Fei Yun needs to worry about is whether the crossbow machine can withstand it.
The moment Fei Yun used the crossbow machine, a golden aura instantly emanated from the magic array above their heads, and Chen Yi, who was standing on the high platform, once again prayed in a very irregular posture to release the power of the aura. This method made her extremely uncomfortable, but in the end, the Holy Purification Aura was activated like the last time, and the release of the magic crystal that had placed the magic crystal made the effect of the aura even more terrifying. The most important thing is that Chen Yi first drank a large sip of the holy lake water when using the aura, relying on the speed of the lake's recovery of magic power to ensure the continuity of the aura effect. Originally, she had allowed her aura to reach an eightfold increase to last for more than twenty seconds at most, but now she could hold on for at least two minutes.
Two minutes was not too long for Chen Kai and them, but it was miserable for the demon who was restrained by the purification aura. Although demons with a level higher than the sixth order can rely on their own resistance to reduce their damage slightly, they can't reduce too much damage at all under the effect of the eight-fold increase aura, and the damage that emerges from their bodies every second is more than 2,000 points, and even some of the poor resistance directly burst out with 4,000 points of damage. At the moment when these demons wanted to turn around and escape from the temple, more than a dozen demons directly turned into burning fire men in a wail, and even if they escaped from the temple, it would be useless, because Chen Yi's aura covered an area with a radius of five hundred meters. The entire temple square was within the range covered by the aura, unless they could rush out of this distance of five hundred meters in a short period of time, otherwise half of these demons who rushed into the temple hall would definitely be hung up.
It's a pity that the distance of five hundred meters is not far for these demons, and after a burst of chickens and dogs, they almost rushed out of the range shrouded by the aura with the fastest speed of their bodies. But even so, nearly a third of the demons died on the way out of the temple. Some of the demons were blocked by their own people, and by the time they rushed out, they had already ignited sacred flames on their bodies, and by the time they reached the boundary of the aura, the flames had completely eroded their bodies. The last demon who fled almost burned out of the aura, but unfortunately although it escaped, it was burned to death by the flames on its body.
Looking at the people who had fallen to the ground and were still clutching the ground with their arms outstretched, the scales and hairs all over Lonzur's body trembled and stood on end, not just because of anger but also because of fear. It had never felt so close to death, the moment its whole body was burned by the divine power, it actually had a sense of redemption, if it hadn't been for its reason to turn around and flee for its life, it should have been redeemed like a corpse underground. It's a pity that this kind of redemption is definitely not what Longzur and their demons want, and fortunately, Longzur still has the sanity to flee with his men, otherwise they may really be completely redeemed because of the power of the aura.
As the aura slowly closed, Longzur's gaze became more and more hideous, as it saw more than a dozen demon corpses that had fallen to the ground, all of which were burned to the ground and only skeletons remained. When its gaze looked at the entrance of the temple, it saw more corpses, the corpses of demons that had been burned into white bones by the power of the aura were lying at the entrance, and several white bones were lying on the gate of the entrance of the temple, trying to squeeze out of the temple. It's a pity that the entrance to the temple is too narrow, and there are too many demons who rush into the temple with shields, so many of the demons who rushed into the temple didn't have time to rush out in the end. When they were racing to escape, they forgot that order was the weight for everyone to escape from the ascension, and as a result, several demons wanted to squeeze out of the temple but they were stuck there, and in the end they not only stuck themselves, but also stuck the life path of the demons behind.
Looking at the corpses of those demons, all the demons who wanted to attack the temple were timid, even Lonzul himself. They weren't afraid of death, but they were afraid of being burned like that, because they all knew that these demons must have burned their souls. Under the attack of the divine power, no demon's soul can be preserved intact. Looking at the hollow eyes of those dead demons, all the demons were frightened, and this led Chen Kai and them to have a certain amount of rest. At least Chen Yi could take a breather, and Xu Fei could also replace those shattered magic crystals.
"You give me batches! Ignore the damage of that aura, throw the spear at that girl with all your might, and the nasty divine power of that girl will disappear as long as you kill that girl! Believe me!! Lonzur watched the cowardly demons roar loudly, and it didn't want to give up, knowing that if it gave up, the adult above it would definitely abandon it completely. There are many demons of the same strength as it are in the organization, and these demons usually do not show up and have been living underground in Khedira, but they will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. So Lonzor had to succeed, even if he buried all the demon soldiers he controlled.
At its instigation, the demon soldiers had to take up their weapons again and walk towards the temple gate, but when they didn't pass by a demon corpse, they slowed down a bit, and by the time they got close to the gate, they were moving as fast as a turtle crawling. This was only possible under Longzur's constant urging, and if it weren't for his urging, it was estimated that these demon soldiers would not have moved a single step in half a minute. The moment the first demon stepped into the temple on tiptoe, its heart was terrified, and the speed and sound of the demon's heart in its chest seemed unusually loud like a war drum in the silent hall of the temple.
"Boss! Do you want to kill it? Looking at the demon who stepped into the temple, Fei Yun whispered to Chen Kai, who was sitting on the side to rest. A rope was being pinched in his hand, which they were going to use to descend to the ground to attack in their desperate moments. Once that happens, there's no point in holding on to the rooftop, it's better to jump in and fight the demons.
"Wait! Don't worry! Chen Kai looked at Chen Yi who was trying to restore her magical power, her little face was red now, of course, it was not a healthy red, but a sickly red that was over-channeled by the divine arts. Fortunately, the lake in her stomach provided sufficient magical support, otherwise Chen Yi would have fainted due to the exhaustion of her magic power by now.
