Chapter 270: The Church of Shadows
readx;
There were seven people lurking in the forest, two black-robed mages armed with staffs, four warriors in leather armor, and a fierce thief scout, making it look like a standard adventuring party. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
One of the middle-aged mages was supposed to be the leader of the team, and when he saw Han Fei approaching, he waved the staff in his hand, and the others all stopped retreating and gathered together, faintly putting on a defensive posture.
Full of murderous shouts, powerful giant wolves, condescending postures, and strange long knives in his hands, Han Fei gave people the feeling that he was definitely the kind of character who was extremely difficult to mess with, and the middle-aged mage saluted respectfully with a smile on his face: "This lord, we are a combat team belonging to the Tieqi Mercenary Regiment, and we have just returned from the God of War Mountain Range, may I ask you what's the matter?"
This expression, tsk... Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head, smiling even more with a fake and respectful expression, this mage should usually belong to the kind of person who is used to giving orders, and now it is really awkward to insist on pretending to be humble.
"Oh, that's the case, then how did you end up here, you can't be on the wrong path, right?" Han Fei sneered.
There are quite a lot of mercenary adventurers who pass through Rainbow Town and then enter the God of War Mountain Range through the level on the mountain, they have brought prosperity and vitality to the town, it is normal to say that there is a mercenary team in the territory, but they should not come here, and they are still spying on Han Fei and others.
The middle-aged mage's expression froze suddenly, and then he smiled: "Oh, we are going to go to Lynch Collar Iron Wall Fort, it is easier to walk from here." ”
Lynch Collar is just east of Tulip Collar, owned by the famous Lynch family in Yanjing, and it makes sense if they want to go to Ironwall.
It's just that Han Fei was already suspicious of their identity, how could he let these people leave easily, especially the trace of murderous intent he felt just now, the other party definitely had bad intentions.
"I have doubts about your identity and purpose..."Han Fei said lightly, "Come with me to Rainbow Town, I believe that I can confirm your origin there." ”
There are offices of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild in Rainbow Town, if this person is indeed a member of the Tieqi Mercenary Group, Han Fei doesn't mind putting a long line to catch a big fish, he doesn't believe that the other party happened to appear here.
The middle-aged mage's face changed suddenly, and a warrior behind him couldn't hold his breath, and roared with a fierce look in his eyes: "Your Excellency is too lenient, isn't it? We didn't provoke you, don't go too far!"
"Is it excessive?" Han Fei said lightly: "I forgot to introduce, I am Viscount Han Fei, the fourth lord of the Tulip Domain, you are walking on my land, acting sneakily and plotting against me, of course I am qualified to confirm your identity." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Viscount, please forgive us for our offense, we are indeed the Tieqi Mercenary Regiment, you see this is our mercenary insignia. The middle-aged mage smiled, quickly took out one from his pocket, held it in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Han Fei: "Just look at it..."
Han Fei's gaze was even colder, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, when he reported his identity, these people were not much surprised, as if they already knew his identity in advance, which proved that the other party was definitely coming for him.
When the middle-aged mage handed over the badge, Han Fei's gaze froze and landed on the other party's left wrist, and although the light in the woods was dim, he could still see the black tattoo on it at a glance.
It was a strangely shaped scorpion-faced monster, with fangs and claws so lifelike that it seemed to jump up from the surface of its skin at any moment and take a bite.
"It turns out that you are from the Shadow Church..."Han Fei smiled and said, "What kind of mercenary, who sent you to spy on me?"
On the Nine Heavens Continent, there are a lot of churches that believe in different gods, some such as the God of War Church have good strength and wide influence, but for thousands of years, the gods have never appeared on this continent, so the power of the church has never exceeded the secular royal power, and some churches have even been denounced as heretical cults and are wanted by various countries on the mainland.
The Church of Shadows is one of them, they believe in the dark demon god of the abyssal world, they consider themselves the human spokesperson of the dark demon god, worship the power of darkness, and their usual activities are quite secretive.
Originally, this was nothing, because the mainland countries were very tolerant of the belief in gods, and the dark power was also one of the ten natural elements and was not discriminated against, but there were many necromancers in the Shadow Church, and they often held some heinous blood sacrifice ceremonies and made trouble in some countries, and finally the human race country was designated as a cult heresy and encircled and suppressed, and the original semi-public activities became underground.
Legend has it that the Dark Demon God's body is a scorpion-faced monster and the faith totem of the Church of Shadows, and the middle-aged mage's accidentally exposed tattoos reveal his identity.
A mage of the Church of Shadows could be a mercenary adventurer?
Hearing the words "Shadow Church" spit out from Han Fei's mouth, the expressions of the seven people all changed drastically, and humility and respect disappeared from the face of the middle-aged mage, and their faces became extremely vicious.
He suddenly stepped back, moved behind the warriors in an instant, raised the staff in his hand, and roared, "Kill him!"
Black mist surged out of the middle-aged mage's body, and the power of darkness suddenly descended on the woods, and the four warriors pulled out their respective weapons, opened their fighting armor and roared towards Han Fei, the light of the fighting qi flashed one after another!
The other thief scout took a step back silently, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Han Fei snorted coldly, the Mo Dao changed from his left hand to his right hand, his left arm raised a palm and slapped it gently, and a dark golden Dou Qi shield suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him, blocking the two black qi rays that came from him.
Crackling!
The collision of Dou Qi and Dou Qi made a dull popping sound, and the bombardment of the two warriors' Dou Qi did not shake the defense of the Guardian Shield in the slightest, and Wojin, who was carrying Han Fei on his back, suddenly broke away from the attack circle of the warriors and flashed to the left of one of the warriors.
Shout!
The silver blade instantly pierced the air, causing a strange whistling sound, and the blade exploded and slashed towards the warrior at an incredible speed.
This warrior had just sent out a sword ray that was blocked by the shield of guardianship, he never expected Han Fei's counterattack to come so quickly, his strength was also quite good, and he reacted quickly at the moment of life and death, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the sword block to protect his chest.
The heavy sword blocked the blade, and it was only a moment away from slashing at him, but... Click!
The palm-wide Lingwu heavy sword was not able to block the trajectory of the Mo knife in the slightest, and a light sound of metal friction suddenly sounded, and the heavy sword was cut in two by the Mo knife like tofu.
The fierce sword slashed at the samurai's armor without any condensation!
Sting!
The warrior's body trembled, his armor completely annihilated as violently as violently, his eyes revealed an incredible look, and the leather armor on his chest was torn open a large slit, and red blood splattered from the wound.
Before he could snort, his upper body fell diagonally to the ground, blood mixed with internal organs and flowed all over the ground - Han Fei's blow not only cut off his weapon, but also directly split his armor, killing him with one sword!
This is the gap in the realm of strength, this warrior is only the level of the fourth-order earth, while Han Fei is a sixth-order sky warrior, fighting rabbits with tigers, and the low-level fighting armor can't resist the armor-breaking blow of the ground-level fighting technique at all.
Only a few seconds had passed between the outbreak of the battle and Han Fei's killing of the first enemy, and before the other warriors could react, the sword representing death flashed again.
"Ahh
The sound of the screams meant that another warrior had died tragically under Han Fei's sword, and the strength between the two sides was not at all level, it was not so much a battle as a slaughter.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of black mist arrows burst through the air, suddenly hitting Han Fei, who slashed the third warrior with his sword, but all of them were blocked by his body-protecting God of War Fighting Armor.
As soon as these fog arrows collided with the armor, they all burst into black mist, and they all attached to the God of War armor in an instant, and the golden armor light dimmed.
These black mist turned out to be with the special ability to corrode the fighting armor, Han Fei turned his head to look in his heart, only to see another mage more than ten meters away wielding a magic staff, reciting a spell with a hideous face, and a cloud of black mist poured out from his body and turned into a mist arrow that shot towards him, with a great momentum.
Han Fei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and with a wave of his right arm, he raised the Mo knife and swung it at this guy, and the flames on the long knife body were blazing, turning into a roaring fire dragon and blasting towards the other party!
Dragon Ascension to the Nine Heavens!Earth-level Fire Fighting Technique, Explosive Flame Dragon Breaking Upgrade Technique, the most powerful Earth-level Fire Fighting Skill!
However, at a distance of more than ten meters, the flame dragon head condensed by the fighting qi had just expanded and exploded, and it bombarded the mage's body head-on, and the flames generated by the explosion instantly engulfed him completely!
"Ahh
There was another terrible shout, his dark shield looked so fragile under the bombardment of the nine heavens of dragon ascension, although it blocked the critical power of the dragon's head, but it paid the price of annihilation, and his fragile body was directly exposed to the flames of the pursuit behind, and he was instantly burned into a burning man.
He screamed and fell to the ground struggling in pain, but the flames of his fighting spirit could not be extinguished even with water, and he was burned to char in the blink of an eye!
Seven enemies, four killed!The remaining warrior could no longer hide the fear in his heart, and turned around and fled, only the leading middle-aged mage was still staring at Han Fei not far away, and the speed of chanting the spell in his mouth became faster and faster.
Rumble!
The earth shook violently, and countless graves appeared on the ground around Han Fei, as if something was struggling to get out of the ground.
