Chapter 428: Death
The originally sturdy piece of armor seemed to have been beaten and hammered countless times, and in a sour groan, it cracked into dozens of pieces and fell down.
From these cracks spurted hot blood, dozing Sophia and dyeing her sumptuous gown red.
"Philip!" was an exclamation.
Yes, this silver figure was none other than Philip, and when the giant man threw that punch, he felt the blood in his entire body freeze, and his limbs were cold and piercing.
He finally knew how important the girl in front of him had occupied in his life, before he knew it.
With almost no time to think, he subconsciously adjusted the amplitude of madness and anticipation to the optimum, flew up from Natalie, and crossed a distance of twenty meters in a few steps, finally blocking the giant's iron fist at the last moment.
Entering within three meters of the giant man, Philip felt the incredible strength of his opponent, and the momentum exuded by the blue-skinned giant man was as majestic as a mountain, which made him breathless, and the sweat on his body seemed to dry out in an instant.
With the giant man as the center of the circle, a circular barrier seems to be formed within a radius of three meters, and the physical rules inside are completely different from those outside.
The raised arms and the broadsword in his hand were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and even though the veins on his forehead and neck were bulging high, he still couldn't block the opponent's attack in time by crisscrossing him.
The blue-skinned giant's punch was barely blocked, through the gap between his arms that had not yet been closed, and landed in his chest.
Powerful forces drowned Philip like a tsunami, wave after wave.
Even if he had awakened to the second-level strong wall, even if Philip avoided the vital point of his heart in a hurry, this power still easily shattered the armor on his body like tearing a piece of paper, and then transmitted it along his muscles to the bones.
Anyone who got close could hear the first crash, followed by a dense and muffled sound, the sound of Philip's bones, muscles, and ligaments rupturing.
It hurts, this is the only feeling Philip, if it weren't for the fact that his strengthened heart provided enough support, I'm afraid that the moment he received the punch, he would have fainted or even died.
But this also made him feel the severe pain caused by the collapse of his body very clearly.
He wanted to go to sleep because he wouldn't have to endure the pain, but he couldn't.
Because he knows that there is a girl behind him who must be protected, even if it costs his life.
Sophia opened her arms and hugged her from behind, even if she couldn't bear Philip's weight at the moment, even if the blue-skinned giant man opposite had already smiled and swung a second punch, but her eyes were only the man in front of her who was drowning in blood.
Even if it is death, you must die with him.
Anna, Anne, and Miranda all screamed, but they could only helplessly watch as this pair of beautiful people was about to become a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks in front of them, returning to the arms of Mother Earth Goddess.
Living and dying together is the most romantic scenario in the fantasy of any girl who longs for love, but at this moment, they realize how cruel it is.
It's just that no one noticed that the blue-skinned giant was supposed to hit Sophia before Philip arrived, but he paused strangely for a moment in mid-air, as if he had already guessed Philip's reaction and waited here.
It was just enough for Philip to arrive.
No one even noticed the complicated look on the face of the giant man who was swinging his fist again at this moment.
There is hatred, remorse, the pleasure of revenge, and a trace of loneliness.
"Bell, you are so tall, will you always be by my side and protect me?" asked an innocent little girl with a pink turban among the flowers.
She tried to stand on her tiptoes, but only touched the belt of the big, blue-skinned man.
Even though Bell squatted down immediately, he was still much taller than the little girl.
In desperation, he could only carry the little girl on his shoulders with the softest movements, looked at her cheering appearance, and said in the most pious voice: "I am willing, my little princess, I will always accompany you and protect you until the end of my life." ”
What was once a fond memory had now become the most heartfelt poisoned wine, tormenting his soul every late night for years.
Now, it's finally over.
When Lord Barry was unexpectedly killed in a shocking explosion outside the imperial capital of the Wardsmann Empire, the girl he loyally guarded resolutely set foot on the land of Gokan City in order to avenge it.
And he, with his different skin color and tall figure, may be able to change, but his super strength is like a beacon, so that he can't arbitrarily cross that border and enter that city, but he can only watch her in danger, and finally die of hatred.
The Red Skull thieves quickly fell apart under the combined siege of the powerful Southern and Western Temples, like a piece of fat to be eaten, and Bell became a lost dog, hiding in Tibet on the seemingly vast continent.
Perhaps he could run farther north, or hide in the east with the savings he had accumulated over the years, and make a comeback with his skills.
But he never had such an idea, even if he lived like a gray squirrel in the gutter, even if he sold himself as a servant, he never left this land, just for the promise he made back then, for revenge.
As for the disputes and intrigues within these temples, he was not interested in it at all, and the reason why he appeared in this city and appeared in this mansion was that his only target was Philip.
Even if he was a powerhouse of the Fifth Order Awakening, and even if he was a gravity-controlled domain force and a pair of Iron Fist Blockers, he still couldn't single-handedly kill the Holy City of Flogen.
Only here, in the Lily Villa, where the temple's high-end power was emptied, did he have the opportunity to attract Philip and complete his mission with his own hands to comfort the heroic spirits of the father and daughter in the sky.
Fortunately, everything is exactly as Chela promised, and the girl in front of her is indeed Philip's weakness.
Even if Philip doesn't show up here in time, as long as he controls Sophia, then he has enough chips in his hands.
Otherwise, with his strength, why would he be willing to obey the drive of a hairy boy, but unfortunately those old friends have become a pile of rotten meat in the wasteland.
Bell exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest, concentrated all the strength of his body into a hammer-like fist, and struck it out with the sound of billowing wind.
It's slow to say, but it's only been a second since I took Bell's punch.
Philip had completely lost control of his body and could only fall backwards weakly.
He saw Chand, Duke and the others rushing towards this place regardless of casualties, and he also saw Anna standing there with disbelief and despair in her eyes.
Then he fell into a warm embrace, and the beautiful but pale face that was close at hand attracted all his attention.
He wanted to laugh and comfort, and he wanted to push her away, because the blue-skinned giant's second punch had already swung over.
But the firmness and determination in the girl's eyes made him finally give up his efforts, and because he was really speechless, the blood gushed out of his mouth, and even smooth breathing had become a luxury.
Being able to die together may also be a good ending, but I'm a little sorry for these people around me, as well as Afu and his family members in the southeast of the empire half a city away.
Countless fantasies and countless ambitions since his rebirth have to draw an incomplete end at this moment, he is a little unwilling, but he is helpless.
I just don't know if the woman who has arrived in that distant continent at this moment will shed a tear after learning of his death.
The billowing fist wind had already enveloped the heads of the two, and Sophia hugged Philip's body tightly, staggered to her knees, and pressed her face against Philip's, waiting for the judgment of fate.
"Philip, I love you, I'm a hopeless fool, but I've never regretted it. ”
The girl's whisper echoed in Philip's ears, but he could only barely move his fingertips and touch the ends of the girl's long purple hair.
Then he lost all his strength and drooped, and at the last moment he felt only a trace of hot wetness fall on his face.
Was that her tears?
The darkness was only a brief moment, and Philip, who had experienced death once, soon found himself floating, just like the last time.
The blue spirit core floated above his head, allowing him to watch from another world what happened next.
He looked around for the shadow, but there was no way to distinguish it except for his blue spirit core, which was densely packed with green spirit cores all around.
And he had just become a spirit core state, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch in vain at what was happening on the ground.
Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen, which was the most gratifying thing after his death.
Just as the fist wind had swept the ends of Sophia's hair, a dark blue figure rushed in from outside the back hall, swinging Bell's killer punch away with a roar of rage.
Greasy black hair, cold and slender eyes, the smell of a gloomy, mottled armor, was none other than his teacher, the paladin Arthas.
The corner of Arthas's eyes swept over Philip's body, which had lost signs of life, and a powerful momentum erupted from the inside out, as a fourth-order, not only stubbornly blocked the fifth-order awakened Bell's punch, but also knocked him out, and the power of the temple's genuine paladin can be seen.
At the same time, Robin, them, and Arthas's powerful followers poured in, making the backroom even more crowded.
The arrival of these powerful combat forces suddenly made the pressure on the defenders much less, and the battle situation that was originally on the verge of collapse also ushered in a hint of a turnaround.
The rest of the Red Rose, Chander and the others also rushed over, and the group surrounded Sophia and dragged them out of the battle group.
