Chapter 9: The Sacred Sword of Eden
The guards who were vigilantly observing the surroundings suddenly covered their noses, coughed hard, tears flowed uncontrollably, and they couldn't open their eyes at all.
The eyes of the young man standing in the center of the square narrowed.
After fighting with the Assassins for so long, how could they not understand this trick of the Assassins.
Just as he was about to remind His Majesty the Emperor beside him to be careful, a gunshot rang in his ears.
His pupils shrank, and the Knights Templar didn't think about it, and the holy sword in his hand automatically swung and blocked in front of him.
Bite~
The bullet slammed into the blade of the sword.
Boom~!
Explosions rang out.
A faint light protected him, but Louis XIV next to him was not so lucky, and was directly knocked out by the shockwave.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The young man shouted, and ran with the holy sword in his hand towards the place where Louis XIV had fallen.
Another gunshot rang out.
He turned his head and swung his sword without thinking.
The bullet was split in half, but this time it was not an explosion, but a loud electric current.
The young man's body was numb.
A glimmer of light flashed on the holy sword, and his movements quickly recovered.
But at this time, Ye Ming, who was running fast, had already come to him.
Leaping high, his right hand clenched into a fist, the boy threw a punch at his face.
Under the effect of particle manipulation, the force of this blow is so strong that even the surrounding air bursts.
The young man had no doubt that if this fell on his head, his head would definitely shatter like a watermelon.
The holy sword was almost instinctively swung to block it.
The two collided, making a clanging sound of steel clashing.
The young man's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Ye Ming's completely empty right palm.
This guy ...... Is it a prosthetic?
Such a thought could not help but arise in his mind, and the unscientific situation made his movements pause.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Ming quickly grabbed the hanging holy sword with his other hand, and then clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the opponent's stomach hard.
Burst~!
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Even with the palace dinner he had just eaten, he almost vomited out his stomach.
Ye Ming grabbed the holy sword, and the knight did not die from the effect of his bare hands, he turned around and slashed the opponent's neck directly.
"There are assassins! Come! ”
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who had fallen to the ground, was finally relieved.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the scene of the young man's head flying out.
With his eyes wide, Louis XIV cried out in horror.
The effect of the smoke grenade also wears off at this time.
The guards who heard the sound turned their heads and saw Ye Ming with a mask and hood, and immediately raised the guns in their hands.
It's a little creepy.
The state of being aimed at by countless people with guns.
Ye Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, held the holy sword, aimed it at the crowd, and raised it high.
EX – Curry Sticks!
The knight did not die from the effect of his bare hands, allowing him to easily grasp the original power of the holy sword.
The golden light flickered, like a high-tiled light bulb, blinding a group of people in the dark night.
The guards knew something was wrong, and quickly pulled the trigger of the gun in their hand.
呯~呯~呯~呯~!
There was a violent gunshot, and the strong smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the entire square.
But it didn't work.
The power of the holy sword is not something that can be broken by this kind of thing.
Like the knight's holy shield in WOW, an invincible protective shield appeared around Ye Ming, helping him block all the bullets.
The next moment, the holy sword fell.
At this moment, even the clouds in the sky became chaotic.
A strong flash of golden light flashed.
A violent explosion sounded.
The palace, which took the great effort and wealth of the French royal family, was destroyed by a third in just an instant.
When the dust settled, the hundreds of members of the escort team who had existed in the square all stared blankly ahead.
Then, under the frightened gaze of Louis XIV, who fell to the ground, the hundreds of soldiers let out a crisp tearing sound, and their bodies split in two.
The main hall of the palace, which was originally a symbol of luxury and classical nobility, has now become a hell full of flesh and blood.
The power of the holy sword is terrifying.
…………
"This is the power of the Holy Sword?"
Bai Len appeared on Ye Ming's shoulder, his eyes widened and he was slightly surprised.
The boy was slightly tired, gasping for air, and smiled reluctantly.
While everyone was still shocked, he had already come to the inside of the court.
Once on the throne, following Dorian's instructions, he unscrewed the nearby switch.
An Assassin's mark appears on it.
Taking out another identical assassin mark from his pocket, Ye Ming pressed it.
There was a slight click, and a layer of dark compartment was opened.
The boy jumped in quickly, then turned back to seal the entrance.
At this time, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall in the dark passage, and gasped for breath.
Holy Sword ...... It is the most powerful of all the holy relics.
This consumes ...... It's even more terrifying than when he controls three golden apples at the same time.
Not only is the spirit close to overdraft, but even the physical strength is rapidly consumed.
Ordinary people, even the descendants of the forerunners, don't think about using the holy sword like him, this thing is simply a sperm-swallowing weapon.
If you're not careful, you may be sucked dry.
It's no wonder that in the original book, after Yano got the holy sword, he only used it as a general weapon, in addition to not stimulating the true power of the holy sword, this terrifying consumption should also be a big reason.
Hei Len walked out of Ye Ming's body, turned into a human body, and stretched out his palm to press on his forehead.
Suddenly, a coolness came into the young man's mind.
The spirit became much soothed.
Frowning loosely, Ye Ming glanced at his cat gratefully.
"This thing is the weapon used by King Arthur and Genghis Khan in legend?" Bai Len walked to Ye Ming's side, stretched out his hand and tapped the holy sword he held in his hand.
The blade of the holy sword emitted a faint glimmer of light, flicking the girl's palm away.
"It's quite xenophobic." White Len muttered.
Ye Ming smiled.
The holy sword also chooses its master, otherwise with his terrifying power, he wouldn't have experienced so many masters after so many years.
Persius, Alexander, King Arthur, King Attila of the Huns, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc......
Recalling the several masters of the Holy Sword, Ye Ming had to sigh, it was worthy of being a holy sword symbolizing 'victory', and the people who held him were almost all symbols of undefeat in history.
After resting for a while, feeling that he had recovered a little, the boy walked towards the inside of the ancient tomb.
To tell the truth, he had no idea that there would be such an ancient tomb under the Palace of Versailles.
Since the tomb can only be opened with the Assassin sigil, it either hides the legacy of the previous Assassins or stores the things of the forerunners.
Ye Ming prefers the latter, maybe there will be a fragment stored in this place, right?
After all, according to the Precursors, they buried all the pieces underground before the Doom came.
So it's not surprising if there are fragments here.
"Ye Ming, what is the holy relic you want most now?" White Len sat on his shoulder, curiously asking.
"If you want it most...... Ye Ming thought for a while: "It should be the Holy Grail." ”
"The Holy Grail that claims to make people immortal?"
"Well...... Ye Ming smiled: "After all, everyone will have a fear of that short lifespan, right?" ”
"But that thing isn't what I need most right now, and if I had to choose, I'd want the Spear of Destiny even more."
"A spear of fate capable of piercing everything?" White Len paused, "The god-killing spear known as Longinus?" ”
"Ah, that's right."
The God-killing Spear, although it is accompanied by powerful doom, the near-invincible power is still extremely covetous.
The Holy Sword and the Holy Spear, the two most offensive props among the sacred relics of the Garden of Eden, if he could get them all, then Ye Ming would basically be sure that he would be able to spend this world easily.
But...... Will it be that easy?
