Chapter 354: Three Conditions (I)
Duke Shape has always been the most maverick in the European underground parliament, and his strength is not the strongest, but no one will underestimate him, after all, his previous identity was the angelic commander in charge of hell and the gates of heaven. Whether it was the Dark Council of Baal or the Shadow Council of Beelzebub, he had a lineage, but he never belonged to any of them. It is precisely his embarrassing position that makes him the weakest demon king-level figure in the underground council, he has no friends, no subordinates, and is always alone, in a sense, his existence is dispensable.
This awkward position was not what the Leopard Duke wanted, he was once one of the most powerful angels in Heaven, and even Lucifer and Michael did not dare to confront him head-on, and at that time he had the brightest glory in the whole of Hell. And now, perhaps it should be said that since the day he lost his glory, he has been looking for a way to restore his glory, and it has been a thousand years.
In fact, the way for the leopard duke to restore his full strength is very simple, that is, to take out the gates of heaven and hell that belong to him from the holy relics of the Western Church, and then he will become the supreme being like God. However, the cross had always been in the hands of Michael, who hated him, and he couldn't find any way to get it back, so all he could do was wait and wait for an opportunity. This opportunity came very suddenly, decades ago, in order to resist the assimilation of the human gods, Michael borrowed the power of faith accumulated for thousands of years, and entered a long solid slumber, and the cross was also handed over to his subordinates.
For this reason, the leopard duke did not hesitate to provoke the battle between the underground council and the Western Church, and then used the method of blood sacrifice to attack the Vatican's defensive magic, taking advantage of the chaos to break into the Vatican and steal the cross. However, Michael seemed to have guessed his thoughts before he fell asleep, and the cross was taken by him to the East China, the forbidden place of the Western gods.
The leopard-shaped duke was naturally unwilling to lose such an opportunity, so he went to the East alone, hoping to find the cross before those Eastern cultivators found out. However, as soon as he entered the territory of Huaxia, he was discovered by an oriental cultivator, and was seriously injured by his knife, almost dying, and finally escaped back to the west like a lost dog with his unique blood method.
The Leopard Duke had never mentioned this matter to anyone. When he returned to Europe, he was silently recovering from his wounds, and kept an eye on the news of the Western Church, wanting to wait for the cross to return and rob it halfway. But when he heard the news that the Western Church had lost the cross in the East, he felt a desperate hope. After that, he became even more withdrawn in the underground council, and did not even attend the regular meetings.
Later, the Leopard Duke learned from Lilith of the Shadow Council that the Relic Cross was in the hands of an Eastern practitioner. Moreover, from the prohibition imposed on Lilith by this oriental cultivator and the transformation of his body, he felt magical and powerful, and he was not completely sure to deal with this person.
Not long ago, the Shadow Council invited him to participate in a Southeast Asian operation. During this operation, he not only met the oriental cultivator who held the holy cross, but was also lucky enough to obtain a simple divine power in a magical place. This power not only repaired his injuries, but also made him stronger than before he was injured. After returning to Europe, he learned through the Guò Underground Council news network that the Oriental practitioner had come to Europe, and he had also found the only person in Europe who had contact with the Oriental practitioner. So he waited in Paris, waiting for the Oriental cultivator to appear, and things finally went his way.
Looking at the slender Oriental cultivator in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in the leopard-shaped duke's eyes, because he felt that the person in front of him gave people a big gap from that in Southeast Asia except for his appearance, and it seemed to be another person. Now the aura of power emanating from this person's body brought him ground pressure, some like Michael and Gabriel back then, and some like the Eastern cultivator who hurt him back then, which made people nervous a little.
Although the strength of the other party is beyond the ordinary, the leopard-shaped duke, whose strength has also improved, did not have the slightest timidity, and after appearing in front of him, he said bluntly: "I just want to reclaim what belongs to me, the holy relic cross of the Western Church, and I hope that Your Excellency can return this thing to me." ”
Standing on the opposite side, Xu Changqing heard the leopard-shaped duke's request. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had clearly mistakenly thought that the Leopard Duke had come for something that had happened before. Then he looked up and down at the world's famously fallen angels. I couldn't help frowning slightly. There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He sensed that the power of the leopard-shaped duke seemed to be much stronger than it had been in Southeast Asia. Looks like Lilith has gained some strength during her trip to Southeast Asia. However, even though the strength of the leopard-shaped duke has increased. But compared to cultivating to be infinitely close to Jindan Avenue Xu Changqing. It's a lot worse. At best, it's about the same as the current swallow wind.
The reason why Xu Changqing frowned was embarrassed. Mainly because he saw incomparably strong ** in the eyes of the leopard-shaped duke. From this, it can be seen that he must have been determined to obtain the holy cross. Never die. However. Xu Changqing knew from Ba Fu that the leopard-shaped duke possessed a unique escape spell. He has helped him escape from life and death many times. It was very difficult to kill him. If there is a conflict. Let him escape. It will be very bad for yourself. After all, being a fallen angel with such a high strength is always remembered. It will never be a good thing. Especially now is such a very important moment for Xu Changqing.
As for handing over the cross, which has become a burden to the Leopard Duke. Xu Changqing didn't think about it at all. Because even if he doesn't open his eyes at the moment. Simply feel it with the heart of the Dao. You can feel the strong calamity aura around the leopard-shaped duke. If the Relic Cross is given to the Duke of the Leopard or taken by the Duke of the Leopard. It will only make Xu Changqing fall into a catastrophe.
Your Excellency asked me to offer such a treasure with a word. Is it a bit too arrogant?" Xu Changqing considered the countermeasures that could kill with one blow. While using words to lead the other party's thinking. "Whether this treasure belongs to your leopard-shaped Duke Kamel is still up for debate. But it is really the land I have worked so hard to get in the East.
Although it didn't work much for me. But that's it for you. Spread the word. I thought that my Eastern Cultivation Circle was afraid of you Western monsters. ”
The leopard-shaped duke's heart has long been fascinated by a strong sense of robbery and a strong greed. I didn't see the killing intent hidden under Xu Changqing's cold expression at all. In addition, he didn't want to conflict with Xu Changqing, an oriental cultivator, in his heart. So he was deliberately guided by Xu Changqing's words. mistakenly thought that Xu Changqing didn't need this holy cross. It costs a little to get it.
