CHAPTER XXIII

Poof!

The blade entered the flesh and brought up a flood of blood, dyeing the vicinity of the cave a bright red - the young man of the Holy See, who had been cut in two by his lazy waist, wailed and rolled on the ground, unable to calm down for a long time; He never imagined until his death that such a scene would await him; Moreover, what was even more unimaginable to him was that the cardinal archbishop did not hesitate at all, and used him as a shield.

That's right, at the moment when the knife came to his body before, the cardinal archbishop Terry simply threw the young priest with the knife in his hand all the time - needless to say that at this moment, he was still the foolish disciple of the other party, even if it was his own disciple in his hand, the cardinal archbishop would not hesitate; After all, everything else is mysterious; And only if you survive is it meaningful.

Therefore, after blocking the sword with the opponent's disciple, the cardinal archbishop immediately did not stop at all, and after his hands lit up with a white light, he did not turn around; But his whole body retreated backwards like an arrow from a string - at this time, he no longer had the extra energy to complain that the teacher was a fool, and the disciple was also a fool, and he actually led the enemy to the lair and other problems; That flash of sword light had already confirmed that what appeared at this moment was indeed the person who had put him in the embarrassing situation at this moment-the Dragon of Shak!

However, after determining the identity of the other party, the shame in his heart was also bitten like a poisonous snake, but the cardinal archbishop would not lose his mind and fight hard with the other party - the battle of Northside Manor had already made him understand the gap between himself and the other party, although they were both Sun-level powerhouses, but the other party's performance in the face of the same level was like crushing the Sun; It's like that adult. And even stronger......

Such thoughts came after the battle at Nosd Manor. It appeared in the cardinal's mind - a holy weapon that worked closely with him. a bloodline so powerful that mortals tremble and envy, and a talent so outstanding that it eclipses all contemporary geniuses; With these three points of dealing with it, the sword skills that fuse them together are naturally beyond their reach; The cardinal archbishop was convinced of this.

Moreover, he had made a hypothetical layout, and if he wanted to kill the other party, then he would put aside the existence above the solar level. It is only possible for the high-end and pinnacle-level powerhouses of the solar level to arrange the battle array, and cooperate with the magic array that can block the ability - after all, the opponent's speed and the cooperation of multiple abilities are also a headache!

And now, none of the above assumptions are there; If you remain, you die; Therefore, the cardinal immediately chose to retreat without hesitation; The cardinal was still very sure if he could escape the pursuit of the other party—except that the entire temporary stronghold was set up by him, and those secret passages were still fresh in his memory. The white light in his hand is his real support!

To be able to become a cardinal archbishop, he naturally cannot be because of the will of the people. Rather, it has its own strength - those white lights are not to speed himself up, but to 'control', to be more precise, to completely 'block' an area in a 'prison' composed of complete holy light, which is the gift of 'God' when he became a priest, although it is not absolutely lethal, but it has absolute defensive power, whether it is from the inside or outside.

And this kind of characteristic, after this cardinal archbishop was promoted to a solar powerhouse, he experienced the 'experience' of the holy fire, and the characteristics of his ability were greatly strengthened——' The title of the former cardinal archbishop of the fortress of the Holy Light is enough to say it all, therefore, the cardinal archbishop is sure that even if it is Ye Qi, after entering his fortress, he will not think of leaving for a while, not to mention that there is a fool in it, as long as he does not want to die, he must play with his life, although the result is the same, but in this way, he has more time, enough for him to find the secret passage to escape.

Fool, since you made your vow to meet that guy, I'll do it for you!

With this in mind, the cardinal archbishop's speed became faster and faster; Because, in his sight, the figure had been fully revealed—the blood slowly faded, leaving only intermittent wails, and the white semicircular 'cover' of holy light was clasped straight to the ground, enveloping everyone present except the cardinal archbishop.

"Terry! You bastard! You don't have to die well! ”

The cardinal archbishop used his disciples as shields, then withdrew, and used his unique ability to envelop a surrounding area about ten yards in diameter; It's just something that happens in an instant; By the time the new presiding judge reacted, everything had become what it was looking like; Looking at the cardinal archbishop, who had already left by leaps and bounds, the newly promoted presiding judge opened his throat and shouted, "Your Excellency will definitely know what is going on here!" You'll be killed! ”

After such a voice was shouted by a sun-level powerhouse, it immediately spread throughout the dense forest, startling countless birds that were still sleeping at night; Naturally, it was also very clear to the ears of the cardinal archbishop, but in the face of this clear shout, the cardinal archbishop smiled disdainfully - because he knew very well that if the other party had such an ability and opportunity, the other party would do the same thing, even more absolutely than him.

As for the punishment of the Lord?

Perhaps the Lord is powerful, but not strong enough to be omniscient; What happened here was undoubtedly something that he needed to convey, and by his eloquence he believed that he was sure to prove his innocence—after all, for the sake of a dead man, the lord would not care too much about him; And the other witnesses? The cardinal was very confident that the Shak dragon would do it for him.

Seeing that the cardinal archbishop did not stop, but fled faster and faster, the newly promoted presiding judge immediately became extremely ugly; He turned and looked at the young man standing in front of him with a knife in his hand, dressed in a black gold-rimmed apostle trench coat; Unconsciously took two steps back—not that the new presiding judge didn't want to retreat. It's that the scope of the white 'cover' is too small. And the place where he had stood before was on the edge. It was only two steps to get to the edge of the 'cover'; feeling the thin wall of the seemingly thin but solid and powerful 'cover' behind him, the face of the newly promoted presiding judge, who was already ugly, became more and more difficult to see, and his eyes shot out the gaze of choosing people to devour.

Of course, the object of this gaze is definitely not Ye Qi, but the cardinal archbishop who has become looming - as the new presiding judge in the Holy See's Inquisition, he has a very detailed understanding of the abilities of the high-level members of the Holy See; The people on the Pope's side, in particular, are so detailed about each person's abilities that they can write a report; The cardinal who had defected from the Pope's side to their lord was no exception. It's even more exhaustive; After all, there is no doubt about the unity within the Inquisition about possible 'enemies'.

And it is precisely because of this extremely detailed report that the new presiding judge understands that he has no way out - according to the report, once this ability called the 'Holy Light Fortress' is successfully used, even if it is out of the control of the builder, it can still withstand ten attacks by a strong person of the same level, and within these ten attacks, the builder can completely build the same 'Holy Light Fortress' again.

Therefore, any Solar powerhouse of the same rank wanted to fight against that Cardinal. Be prepared to be dragged into a protracted battle, or even a drag, in which the attacker and the defender deal with the enemy differently. It is destined that the latter has a certain advantage after withstanding the attack of the former; For example: the simplest aspects of recovery; One person keeps brandishing his weapon to attack, while one just stands in place and defends; Although the consumption is very weak for the Solar class, it is still difficult to resist being dragged into a protracted battle, and that kind of consumption is constantly accumulated, and finally produces a qualitative change.

White tortoise shell!

In the Inquisition, many people jokingly called the cardinal archbishop's abilities; The new presiding judge was no exception, and he was even one of the initiators of the nickname; However, if he could, the new presiding judge would very much like to have the same abilities at this moment; At the very least, it can give him a sense of security in the other party's sight - what kind of eyes are that! Calm as the waters of a lake on a moonlit night, undisturbed, and shining like the moon, they looked at him indifferently, as if he had returned to the eyes of those who had sifted through when he first entered the Inquisition; No, it's harsher than that.

Can't wait any longer!

He has a lot of actual combat experience, and he understands very well that at this moment, he has been completely suppressed by the opponent's momentum; If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will collapse without a fight; Especially when he thought of the bloodline of the other party's dragon clan and his innate coercion over all things, the new chief judge did not have the idea of waiting any longer - with a low shout, the new chief judge burned with white holy fire all over his body, and then a knight's spear appeared in his hand, and in the other hand appeared a tower shield that was enough to cover his whole body.

The Holy Flame burned all over his body, and he was able to conjure two items, which was enough to show that the strength of this new Chief Judge - maybe not as strong as the Solar level powerhouse who had already found his 'path', but with the blessing of the Holy Fire, it was about the same, and even compared with some Solar level powerhouses who had just found their own 'path', he still had a certain advantage, and this was the power of the Holy Flame.

A 'tinder' of a theocratic age was created!

This is what most people called the sacred fire in the Holy Age; And in fact, it is also true; Without the addition of some Solar-level powerhouses who were stuck in key places, even the Holy See, which had already shown a trace of hegemonism, would definitely not be so easy to become the ruler of the entire Lorante - those remnants of the power of the king, the power of the sect, and the witchers at that time were enough to cause them considerable trouble; Perhaps, the Holy See will still usher in a holy age, but it will definitely not be as calm and invincible as this.

Drink!

With a loud shout, the newly promoted Judge Tower took a step forward, and the knight's spear in his hand went straight out; Both the mastery of strength and the use of skill had reached the pinnacle of what he could do—and this shot did not disappoint the new presiding judge, who rushed towards his opponent with a roar of lightning; But. The new presiding judge, who knows what the other party is like, would not think that everything would be fine after such a shot; Piercing along the knight's spear. The tower shield of the other hand. Blocked by his side.

Although he also knew that such a shield was useless to the opponent's long knife, the instinct for survival still made him do so—at least, even if he died, the new presiding judge did not want to be caught.

The spear stabbed the figure in front of him unexpectedly, and even pierced the opponent's entire body without stopping; The new presiding judge who watched this scene couldn't help but be stunned, and the three black-clothed deacons around him were also stunned - as low-level existences in the Inquisition. They know very well that they are not qualified to participate in such battles; Even spectators are gambling on life and death; They really want the adults in front of them to win, but they also know who is on the other side, and they also know that this is just their fantasy; Therefore, the three black-clothed deacons were ready to die.

But when this fantasy came true, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded; Not only them, but even the newly promoted presiding judge who stabbed such a shot was equally dumbfounded.

Kiss!

After the sound of a soap bubble bursting, the impaled figure. Straight into nothingness; Such a result made the new presiding judge instinctively turn around on the spot. Once again, the tower shield stood in front of him - but, to his surprise, the imaginary attack did not materialize; Except for the vanished, ethereal figure, only he and the three black-clad deacons remained.

Illusion! It's an illusion just now!

He didn't stay where he was!

Instead, I'm chasing Terry!

His goal is not himself! Or not yourself yet!

As soon as such a succession of thoughts appeared in the mind of the new presiding judge, the new presiding judge immediately ran frantically towards the edge of the 'Holy Light Barrier', and shouted at the remaining three black-clothed deacons, "If you don't want to die, attack this damn barrier for me!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The three black-clothed deacons who also reacted immediately rushed to the edge of the 'Holy Light Barrier' - although they were ready to die, they would rather live if they could not die; Nostalgia for life is one of the most important instincts of human beings; Even those who serve as servants in the name of God are no exception.

……

Soon! Soon!

It's coming soon!

The cardinal archbishop followed the memories in his mind and ran towards the only place in this secret stronghold that he could leave quickly—in the temporary stronghold created by the machine, this place of quick escape was the real core.

Hmph, as an idiot, that's all that guy is worth!

With such thoughts, the cardinal archbishop looked at the secret passage that was already close at hand, and couldn't help but snort softly - the cardinal archbishop did not have any mercy for the deputy who had always been against him; On the contrary, if the timing was not right, the other party would have died in his hands long ago; However, at this moment, the other party's 'death' is also quite beautiful for him, at least, that fool has fulfilled his due obligations.

But next......

The cardinal archbishop frowned, and he didn't have a complete idea of what to do with his plan next; After all, the main purpose of this plan is to unexpectedly attract the attention of the demon hunters, and then get what the lord wants; But now, there is no doubt that he has been noticed by the other party, especially the person who has noticed it, which makes him immediately lose hope for the success rate of his plan.

But if he gives up like this, it will not be a good sign for him - although after he goes back, he will not have to worry about his life, but it is inevitable that he will be hollowed out and become an 'idler', an 'idler' with the name of 'cardinal'!

Thinking of this result, the cardinal archbishop, who had just escaped with the blessing of the other party, couldn't help but scold - the teacher is a fool, and the disciple is also a fool; I didn't even distinguish the trap set by the other party, and I actually let the other party follow him to the secret stronghold!

At this moment, the cardinal archbishop had already reacted, and had made a rough guess about the ins and outs of the whole matter - what is called discovering the whereabouts of that person, which was deliberately revealed to you by the other party; so that all of us, the people in charge of the plan, can be wiped out; If it weren't for me, habitually cautious; Early, early......

The cardinal archbishop, who was full of indignation and dissatisfaction in his heart, suddenly froze in place, his eyes staring at the figure in front of him in a daze—the black and gold-rimmed trench coat moved with the wind in the night breeze, bringing out the sound of 'hunting', and the bell on the hilt of the terrifying Enma knife also made a crisp sound of 'clank, clank'.

"Impossible! No way! How could you have broken through my fortress of light so quickly! And that idiot's block, how could you be so fast! ”

Facing Ye Qi, who was standing not far in front of him, the cardinal archbishop shouted in disbelief.

"Is this your last word?"

Looking at the shouting cardinal in front of him, Ye Qi stepped forward slowly.
