Chapter 53: The Mind of a Devout Believer
"Is Her Highness the Holy Maiden okay?" Li Jun asked abruptly.
The fifty knights looked calm, holding their spears, flashing with a faint icy light.
Seeing that they were all like dumb people, it was clear that they didn't want to talk nonsense with themselves, and the previous round of crossbow shooting still made Li Jun's back chill and shiver slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that his speed was faster than others, and his sacrificial robe had resisted most of the energy impacts, even a peak swordsman might not have been able to dodge it safely.
Qiang~~
A neat rhythm sounded, and fifty knights of light threw their spears in their hands, like lightning on a sunny day, thunderbolting, blowing the air, and making a "whirring" wind.
Buzzing~~
A yellow flying shield condensed at Li Jun's feet, and if you look closely, you can find that the yellow flying shield is formed by the convergence of many yellow-scaled bees, which are close to the ground, dragging Li Jun's feet, as if flying.
Ka———
The long sword was drawn and a piercing sword light was pulled.
Li Jun let out a cheer in the void, deafening, a red sword qi surged, and with a brush, more than thirty spears were directly slashed away.
Bang!
A sword slashed at the round shield of a light knight, and the rest of the light knights quickly rushed over, pulling out the short sword straddling the waist and abdomen, and at the same moment, the light magic inscription imprinted on the short sword was instantly activated, and the cold light blade flew out with a "snort", and for a while it was like a golden day.
Fifty knights wearing gold stripes of bright armor on a white background, the cooperation is extremely amazing, and the combat effectiveness is really rare, they are all swordsmen, and the thick light fighting spirit is released, and the wisps are intertwined, covering the whole body, forming a thin golden protective film.
The golden shield was condensed by the Bright Knight's own fighting spirit, and it was difficult to break, even if the golden shield was broken, the thick light armor was enough to resist the shot of the strong crossbow.
Full metal tortoise shell!
The iron sword curled up, only knocking the two of them away. With his majestic strength, he used the iron sword as a racket (I strangled it, and I would be banned from typing the word cangyingpai), and slapped a knight to the point of fainting.
Sneer~~
Dozens of golden fighting qi rolled in, and the two yellow scale peaks turned into two big hands, grabbing Li Jun and flying into the air. The dozens of golden fighting qi collided with each other, and suddenly a roar resounded through the sky.
The smoke and dust are billowing and permeating the surroundings, and there is suddenly a huge deep pit in the same place, the ancient trees around are open, and the bluestone is cracked, as if it has been stepped on by a giant beast of dozens of zhang, forming a pit.
Seeing that the Knights of Light raised their arms to shoot, Li Jun's mind moved, and a blood mist filled out, and a hundred human-faced spiders collectively spit out sticky webs, "poof" and shoot, and instantly wrapped dozens of Knights of Light into zongzi.
Phew!
A knight of light broke free and silently raised his short sword and slashed at Li Jun.
Creak!
The evolved and mutated third-level peak demonic beast, the human-faced spider king, let out a whistling sound, opened his mouth and spit out, and a blue ice mist swept out, covering the blades of grass with a thin layer of frost.
The knight only took a light breath, and he felt dizzy, and what he saw became a little blurry.
"Poisonous ......" The knight drank lowly, quickly took out an antidote pill from the ring and swallowed it, and at the same time, the round shield on his left hand, like a hidden weapon, spun out, and slashed at the spider king diagonally.
Rumble!
With a kick on the soles of his feet, the knight leaped to his feet like a cannonball. With a "swish", the short sword drew a brilliant golden light in the mist, as if it was a miracle of light, filling the pupils of people.
It is rumored that when every knight officially becomes a knight, he will receive a trace of the blessing power given by the goddess in the pope's majestic and pious prayer, instill his body, wash his muscles and marrow, and his cultivation speed will be thousands of miles in a day, and he will break through to the level of a sword master or even a great sword master at the age of thirty or forty.
Being able to get the blessed divine power from a god means that person is invincible in the same rank, and perhaps only a few Tianjiao can defeat them.
There was an imprint at the center of the knight's eyebrows, revealing the golden glow of divinity.
Vast and majestic.
Airplanes!
The blessed divine power imprint suddenly erupted with the most blazing golden light, causing the knight to be filled with golden flames as if he had spontaneously combusted.
Within a radius of thirty or forty zhang around, the temperature rises sharply, the blades of grass are scorched into ashes, the hundred-year-old trees are turned into charcoal, the boulders are scalded and cracked, and the small rivers and lakes are evaporated into fine and dense water vapor.
The rest of the knights closed their eyes, no longer struggling, silently reciting the "Bright Canon", the light fighting aura in their bodies ignited, extremely hot, and the same golden imprint as the knight appeared on the center of their eyebrows.
Li Jun was furious, and took out a long whip from the ring, and with a "snap", he picked it up and pumped it, and directly whipped it on the bodies of more than 20 knights of light, like pumping pigs and dogs.
"Wicked heretic, how dare you insult the strongest warrior of the goddess! you will surely be purified by the light!!! "Many knights shouted angrily, their prayers interrupted, and their bodies were wrapped tightly in sticky nets, like a large rice dumpling.
"I don't want to anger the church, and I don't want to be an enemy of the church...... But you forced me to make this choice. Li Jun's expression was gloomy, the hesitation on his face suddenly disappeared, and a knife-like sound sounded "poof".
Under the repeated high-frequency impact of dozens of spear legs, they directly stabbed into the bodies of those knights, crushing the hearts of the inner mansion and dying that they could not die anymore.
Everyone's eyes widened and they didn't blink. Until they died, they were still angry and unwilling, and forty-nine elite warriors and noble knights of light were planted in the hands of one person, and the whole army was wiped out.
"Ah!!! you lowly ant, bold heretic, get ready to endure the judgment of light!" The only remaining strongest knight raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, and the bright imprint at the center of his brow suddenly turned into a brilliant golden sword, with a strong purifying aura, distorting the space as if it had been burned by a fire.
Li Jun stood in place, his whole body was surging, his five fingers were slightly bent, and he shook it violently in the shape of a claw.
Sacrificial Technique - Blood Explosion
Burst!
The blood in the body of the strongest knight boiled uncontrollably, and without a breath, it burst out, and the whole person exploded, the stumps and bones splattered all over the ground, and the golden sword condensed at the center of his eyebrows also disappeared at the same moment.
Just as Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he found that the knight's mutilated head actually rolled in front of his eyes, and he was shocked to take out his sword and split the mutilated head into countless petals before stopping.
Li Jun knew that the knight had actually died a long time ago, and it was just his underlying fighting mind that was at work.
The Bright Knights are worthy of being the most powerful ace legion in the continent, if it weren't for the demonic beasts that inhabit the Spider Valley and the Hive, after several months of reproduction, hundreds of yellow-scaled bees and dozens of human-faced spiders have been added, and Li Jun really can't guarantee that he will be able to eat them in this battle.
Li Jun leaned against a big tree and rubbed his head that was a little painful, if he was forced to do so, he really didn't want to be an enemy of the Church of Light, after all, no one wanted to be hunted down by the number one force in the whole continent.
However, since they are killed, they are killed, as long as they do not leave the slightest trace, who knows that they killed them?
......
Koro Empire, the capital city, inside the Royal Palace.
The cardinal archbishop who was resident in Koro frowned suddenly, because just a moment ago, the fifty bright breaths in the misty forest suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He is the pope's permanent archbishop of Koro, who oversees all matters related to the missionary movement in the Koro Empire, and exercises supervision over the royal family, which is equivalent to the eyes of the goddess of light projected into the Koro Empire.
A few days ago, a white-clothed priest with fifty knights of light quietly entered the palace of the cardinal archbishop, telling him that the saint wanted to get rid of a person from a certain magic school, hoping that he would let King Koro hold a contest to lure that person into the misty forest, and then the most elite knights in the whole continent would besiege him.
It stands to reason that with the position of cardinal archbishop second only to the pope, there is no need to pay attention to anyone's request, but after all, it is a candidate for sainthood, or a candidate for sainthood secretly supported by Cardinal Archbishop Colono.
Angela is not alone, she is only one of the candidates, and there is still a long way to go in the future, and the deterrent power of having the support of a cardinal archbishop is terrifying.
The cardinal's plan was not clear to the cardinal, and he did not ask about it.
"Fifty knights of light...... Who is the person who Angel Holy Maiden wants to kill?" the cardinal archbishop frowned, he was the eye of the goddess of light projected on the territory of the Koro Empire, every word and deed, it was a divine order, and it was a papal decree, and the big and small affairs of this empire, every move could hardly hide from his eyes.
"Someone, go and check, and see who the fifty knights died at, since the Holy Maiden Angel can't deal with him, then I will do it for Her Highness. A calm and slightly indifferent voice came out, and a few shadows in the darkness retreated silently, only to hear the faint "creak" sound of the door, a gap opened, and a wisp of wind slowly blew in.
﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡
Phew!
Suddenly, Li Jun slashed a sword towards the upper part of the tree he was leaning on.
A white-clothed figure burst out, and pieces of golden magic inscriptions exploded, turning into a small golden shield, and slammed into the sword.
Li Jun's eyes stared coldly at the white-clothed figure in front of him, dressed in a white robe, with white sideburns, obviously old.
This person is the white-clothed priest in his fifties who stood on his side under the cardinal archbishop of the Koro Empire when he met His Majesty the King a few days ago!
"You're really sent by Angela. Li Jun looked very calm, but the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.
"When did you suspect me?" The white-clothed priest said in a soft voice, tilting his head slightly, and this posture seemed to be very disdainful of Li Jun.
"The first time we met, your eyes betrayed your intentions. Li Jun said.
The white-clothed priest was stunned, shook his head and smiled, and said calmly: "I didn't expect your perception to be quite sensitive...... Do you think you'll be able to escape, though?"
He pointed to the yellow scale bees and human-faced spiders around him, and said lightly: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden is right, you are really mysterious, not only is you a great summoner, but you can also summon so many garbage demonic beasts at one time, no wonder Your Highness attaches so much importance to you and has repeatedly reminded me to be careful." ”
"You watched those fifty knights being slaughtered by me one after another and were indifferent, could it be that the creed in the Bright Sect taught you to do this?" Li Jun sneered.
The white-clothed priest was slightly angry between his eyebrows, and said: "My loyalty to the goddess will never change, since I swore allegiance to her when I was four years old, the only idea in this life is to spread the light to every inch of the world, but I can't accomplish this grand goal with my own strength, at this time I need to ask a noble person for help......"
"Angela?"
"If the Holy Maiden of Angel can become a true saint, with the power she holds, she can launch a holy war, purify those filthy and filthy places on the continent, spread the light, and use Canaan as a springboard to radiate to every plane......"
When Li Jun heard this, he immediately laughed happily, looking at the white-clothed priest like a fool.
Successive popes have failed to accomplish a grand goal, you think of an Angela alone. Can it help you accomplish this unprecedented feat?
What is a devout believer? Just like the priest in white, everything that has to do with faith does not go through the brain, but is seriously and carefully considered, and it is very taken for granted to fantasize and put into practice.
"Therefore, I have done all this for the sake of the Goddess of Light, and if I am unable to throw myself into the arms of the Goddess after my death, then I will regret it...... With my devotion to the light, I will purify the demons of hell and help them go to the kingdom of God on the other side and be reborn. ”
