Chapter Seventy-Five: Failure
Looking at the Saint King who had changed greatly in front of him, among the six Holy Envoys, the Great Saint Envoy was the most shocked.
Seeing the high-spirited and handsome Saint King, the Great Sage made Ryan feel as if he had returned to the past, and the guy in front of him was still the most beautiful blood clan in the entire blood world in the troubled world, confident and handsome!
After a momentary illusion, Ryan pulled himself out of his illusion and honored their leader with the other holy envoys: "Lord Saint King! ”
Stark bowed slightly, and his voice was calm: "You should stay away for a while." ”
The six holy envoys nodded in unison, and their figures flashed and disappeared in front of the Red Mansion.
At this time, Jue and the others had already caught up and quickly surrounded Stark in front of the Red Mansion.
Looking at the blood clan surrounding him, Stark was not in a hurry, raised his hand and bit his fingertips, and the bright red blood seeped out in an instant, dripping down.
Just as Jue and the others set off to intercept him, his bleeding fingertips had already crossed the other palm, and then his palms crossed and closed, and a pair of scarlet eyes closed with the movement of his hands......
When I open my eyes again.
Suddenly, the drops of blood that fell in mid-air stopped moving, and actually hung in the air, as if controlled by some kind of force.
Looking at the blood clan around him, they also stopped in place like sculptures like blood droplets, maintaining their last-second movements.
The entire space-time in the Red Mansion area has been suspended by Stark, who has Apollo's blood power, but the time-space pause can only last for a few minutes.
He has always relied on the power borrowed from the holy weapon blood cup, which can only be possessed for a short time, and he can clearly feel the loss of power, leaving him with little time, which is why Stark suddenly gave up killing Jue,
His purpose was only to retrieve the holy weapon, and wanting to kill Jue was just an unplanned accident.
Staring at Jue's inactive figure, Stark teased with a smile in his eyes: "It's a pity, let's save it for next time!" Then he turned around and walked into the Red Mansion.
Based on Elder Bruch's memories of Dole, Stark was able to find the secret room where the ten artifacts were kept.
Speaking of this guy like Dole, it's really pitiful, he wants to cooperate with their Holy Clan, wants their support, and ascends to the highest position of the Seven Elders.
However, this kind of dissenting and greedy traitor is also what he hates the most, so he eliminated him without much effort, and successfully obtained the torture axe.
It is conceivable that under the seemingly strict system of the secret party alliance now, it has actually become rotten and the people's hearts are dissipated.
Entering the chamber, Stark meets Norton, who is left behind, and he is also under the control of the space pause.
Bypassing him, Stark managed to see the ten holy artifacts placed in the innermost, and as soon as he reached out, an unbearable sting pain made him retract his hand.
Looking at the burned and blackened skin, Stark squinted at Norton on the side, stepped closer, only raised his hand and patted it lightly on his shoulder, and Norton, who was in control, immediately came to his senses.
As if coming out of the fog, Norton regained his senses, and immediately a bright face appeared in his eyes, and a red-haired Bloodclan stood in front of him.
"Unraveling the Magic Circle......"
Stark muttered under his breath, his red eyes staring at Norton, the blood red like tumbling magma, engulfing Norton's silhouette......
Norton, who had just come to his senses, instantly lost focus when he met these eyes, like a walking corpse, controlled by Stark's thoughts.
As Stark had ordered, Norton walked to the magic circle and began to disarm the magic.
With Norton's operation, the pale blue magic cover that lingered in front of the holy artifact gradually disappeared, and the ten holy artifacts placed behind it were within reach.
Stark looked at the ten holy artifacts, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise upward, and his mouth muttered: "Lord Apollo, your devout believers are about to resurrect you as you wish!" Hahahaha! ”
As he spoke, he reached into the holy vessels with both hands, and put them into his hands as if they were probing for them.
Just as he was about to take the tenth holy weapon, his outstretched hand suddenly froze, and the power in his body seemed to have been forcibly stripped away, and he fell to his knees in pain, and the empty fatigue swept over in an instant.
Stark understands that the Blood Lodge power borrowed from the Blood Cup is no longer valid.
I saw that his fair and plump skin was slowly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his delicate face had regained its ugliness when the scars were intertwined, and his red hair, like autumn leaves, fell off in large quantities and fell all over the ground.
Seeing himself turn back into an ugly form, Stark's fear and grief made his face even more hideous, and the hatred in his heart intensified after the loss of this temporary beauty.
The moment you lose your strength, it means that the obstacles from outside will rush in at any time.
He is now alone in the center of the Red Mansion, and in his current state, he seems to be unable to fight the other party.
As a result of absorbing the powerful power, the blood power in his body was squeezed out by the counter-devouring and there was not much left, and his body could not fight for too long at this moment.
Looking up at the last artifact, Stark endured the pain and rose from the ground.
At the same time, the blood clans that were controlled outside the Red Mansion had already been lifted the moment the power of Apollo disappeared from Stark's body, and they immediately rushed towards the Red Mansion as fast as possible......
In the secret room, Norton also woke up from the control, and at a glance he saw the ugly figure of the holy weapon, and immediately realized that it was a demon.
The blood power was accumulated from the palm of his hand, and in the next second, he swung towards the figure. Suddenly, flames like long snakes roared towards Stark.
Stark, who had already obtained the last holy weapon, did not want to entangle with Norton, and with a wave of his dry hand, a black mist that was so thick that it could not be erased sprayed towards Norton.
While Norton was dodging, Stark's figure had long since disappeared from the secret room.
After coming out of the underground chamber, Stark expected that the blood clan outside had surrounded the entire gate, so he prepared to break out of the window.
Who knows, it's just around the next corner.
A sword with a cold air waved over, it was Jue!
Stark, who had lost his strength at this time, was no longer Jue's opponent, he didn't want to fight, and after avoiding a sword, he took a few steps back, intending to find a way again.
In the previous situation, he comprehensively suppressed Jue, but now the situation is suddenly reversed.
Looking at the Saint King who had regained his appearance in front of him, Jue had already found out that his current strength was very weak, and he had to take advantage of his inability to fight back to solve this disaster.
Stark read the killing intent in Jue's eyes, if he chooses to blindly escape now, I'm afraid it's not the best plan, it's better to gamble on the last blood power, maybe he can also fight for a chance to escape.
Immediately, he raised his palm without hesitation.
But he overestimated his reaction speed now, consumed most of his blood power, and his strength was greatly reduced, just when he made a move, Jue's figure was already like lightning, rushing towards him......
A cold glow appeared, accompanied by a black liquid thrown around.
Stark's raised arm was severed by Jue's sword and fell to the ground.
And Stark, who had a broken arm, was kicked into the corner by Jue before he could react.
The pain at the end of the severed arm suddenly reached his brain, and Stark let out a hoarse roar that resounded throughout the corridor, and he covered his wound in pain, his cloudy eyes turned white, and he looked unwillingly at Jue, who was gradually coming towards him with his sword.
"It's time to finish!"
Jue spoke coldly, and the sword stained with black blood in his hand was raised high......
"Boom!"
A sharp weapon collided, and at the last moment, the Great Sage made Ryan hold a torture axe, blocked Jue's fatal blow, and saved Stark, who was seriously injured.
The six holy envoys, who sensed the disappearance of power fluctuations, rushed to support the Holy King, and with a torture axe, they directly broke through the blockade outside the gate of the Red Mansion, and unstoppably followed the breath of the Holy King all the way to find him.
"Take the Holy King away!"
The Great Envoy commanded in a deep voice, and then the other five Envoys helped Stark, who was lying on the ground, to his feet and retreated towards the rear.
Jue Naken let Stark escape, and immediately used his blood power, wanting to break through the barrier of the Great Holy Envoy, but unfortunately, the other party had the blessing of the holy weapon, and he couldn't break through alive or dead.
And the corridor was too small for him to use, so he had to retreat and break out of the window.
But by the time he followed the blood, Stark and his party had already run too far, leaving behind a negligible amount of breath, making it difficult to continue tracking.
After the Great Sage Envoy completed the cover mission, he also quickly evacuated the Red Mansion and disappeared into the night.
On the other side, in front of the gate of the Red Mansion, where there were too many casualties, the guards, Nan Lier and Heyman were organizing people to take care of the injured and clean up the corpses.
After chasing Stark and his party, Jue could only give up decisively and return to the corridor, intending to go to the underground secret room, but he caught a glimpse of a ring on the index finger of the severed hand on the ground.
He squatted down, took the ring from his finger, wiped the black blood off it with a square towel, and his solemn eyes instantly brightened - it was a soul ring!
It seems that the greedy Stark, before leaving, put the holy artifact soul ring on his hand, but fortunately cut off his arm and inadvertently recaptured a holy weapon, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune.
Wrapped the soul ring, Jue put it in his arms, got up and went to the secret room, and happened to meet Norton who came out of the secret room.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop that guy from taking the Hallows."
"It's okay, you've done your best." Jue patted Norton on the shoulder, comforted, and then took out the soul ring in his arms, "We still have a chance." ”
Seeing the soul ring, Norton's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but exhale.
The two of them immediately walked out of the Red Mansion together to help the injured clansmen.
——
After treating the wound on his palm, he raised his eyes to look at Jin who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the shame on Han Qingluo's face deepened.
At this moment, Jin is also doing the simplest bandaging of the wound on his thigh.
In the room, in addition to the faint smell of blood, there was also an embarrassing silence that could not be dissipated.
"The ......"
Han Qingluo blamed himself and was embarrassed, his complicated mood haunted his heart, and after enduring it for a long time, he finally took the initiative to open his mouth.
"No need to explain, I understand!"
Jin Shen opened his mouth in a calm tone, and as he spoke, he had already taken care of the wound on his leg.
At his side, there was a bloodstained dagger, and the wound on his leg was apparently due to this dagger.
A moment ago.
Just when Jin's fangs were about to pierce Han Qingluo's neck, reason stopped Jin's bloodthirsty desire for a moment.
He took out the dagger under his pillow and quickly stabbed him in the thigh, preventing an accident from happening, and if he had to hug Han Qingluo for the first time, he would have become a sinner.
He didn't want to hurt her, and he didn't want to hurt the people who cared about her.
Becoming a blood clan, he only bears a curse, he doesn't want her to suffer this pain for the rest of her life, he has tasted enough of this pain, and he doesn't want Han Qingluo to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Kim's last self-harm resistance pulled Han Qingluo out of his selfishness, and looking at his face distorted by pain, she realized that she seemed to have hurt a blood clan who trusted her.
I realized that I was controlled by the desires in my heart, and I didn't feel like my former self......
