72 Extraordinary! (Key chapters, be sure to read)
"So, what prohibition are you restricted by, and how should you break it?" Lancelot asked softly.
Melina shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, I can't leave this room, either from the window or the door." That's why the blood baron was relieved to open the window for me. ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Qi Lian's expression was calm, and he walked to the side of this petite and beautiful little princess.
Then, in her whispered exclamation, he picked her up with one hand and carried her to his shoulder, and then walked briskly towards the window, and then put his hand on the edge of the window.
Airplanes!
The moment Qi Lian's fingers touched the edge of the window, there was an explosion.
The fire flashed, entwined with a little electric light, and immediately burned the fingers of Qi Lian's left hand into a little pitch black.
"Shhh Qi Lian's fingers flicked away, and he let out a painful snort.
"This prohibition, something," he muttered, and then put her down in the gentle struggle of the little girl in his arms.
Melina landed and took a few steps back, tugging at the corners of her clothes, blushing silently.
Lancelot stopped talking next to him, and sighed - forget it, it is estimated that this Qi Lin really does not know Melina's identity.
She's not just a simple princess of the royal family
Lancelot groaned slightly, and said: "This prohibition should not be so easy to break through loopholes, if you really want to break it, the best way is probably to kill the spellcaster, that is, the blood baron." ”
Qi Lin rubbed his fingers, rubbed off the black burning bruises, and then touched his chin: "So, what level of transcendence is this blood clan baron?" ”
"The baron of the Blood Clan's demons, his strength is generally an extraordinary second order," Melina said softly.
Lancelot frowned: "Second Order. I'm afraid it's going to be harder for me to deal with. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Lian, his eyes slightly filled with hope.
This guy probably hasn't used all his strength so far, and if he wants to, maybe there's hope.
Melina glanced at Qi Lone, not knowing if it was an illusion, Qi Lone felt the blue pupil on her left flickering slightly, and then saw her look at Lancelot in surprise: "This gentleman. Doesn't seem to be extraordinary? ”
Lancelot nodded: "This is Mr. Qi Lian, a super master who has risen recently in Great Xia, even if he is not extraordinary, I am afraid that he is stronger than me!" ”
"So you're Mr. Qi Lian." Melina covered her mouth lightly, and bowed slightly to Qi Lin seriously: "I have been famous for a long time, I am Melina Windsor." ”
Qi Lin nodded: "Collect the red tape first, don't be riddlers either, just say, how do we fight?" ”
Lancelot paused slightly, opened his mouth, but couldn't think of a good way.
In fact, before he was hired by the government and the military, he had been commissioned by someone from the British royal family and the Sanctuary to rescue Princess Melina.
Now that he has seen his target, it is unlikely that he will leave Melina's side again, so as to avoid another accident at this last moment.
But if he was asked to say something like "I left the princess here, let Qi Lin go and find the baron alone and kill him".
Don't say whether Qi Lin will agree, he will definitely not be able to say anything because of his knightly ways.
Instead, Melina thought for a moment and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Qi Lian, and Mr. Lancelot, I have a method, I don't know if it is feasible." ”
So, in the listening of the two, she laid out the plan and the plan.
To put it bluntly, it was this blood baron who would run to her room at a time every day to pour out his love to her, and ask her to agree to his proposal, and take the initiative to remove his amulet items so that the two parties could get in touch.
Qi Lin and Lancelot, on the other hand, could hide in the corner of this luxurious and spacious room, waiting for the baron to sneak up on her and kill her when he confessed his love to her.
She showed Qi Lin and Lancelot the black-and-gray ring on the little finger of her right hand, saying that it was her guardian item, called "Evil Reverence Retreat", forged by Star Iron, and at the time of casting, a being was branded with a wonderful blessing in it, and that she could wear this ring to resist all bad intentions, including demons.
"So, can those evil cults with bad intentions kill you?" Qi Li, a straight man who didn't understand the amorous feelings, asked the questions he cared about very simply.
Melina nodded and said softly, "This ring can only prevent me from being touched by the cult or controlling my spirit, and if these beings were to take up arms and kill me, it would still be easy. ”
Good fellow, this is a chastity ring!
Qi Lin sighed, and couldn't help but rejoice for this Melina.
Fortunately, it was the Lust Embryo Clan who kidnapped you, and if it were a Raging Demon or a Sinking Demon, I am afraid that you would have already become a meal for demons!
After listening to Melina's plan, Qi Lin and Lancelot thought about it, and both thought that it was the most feasible solution in the current situation, so they nodded and agreed.
The two hid under the bed and in the closet, quietly waiting for the arrival of their target.
Time passes, not knowing in a few hours.
Knock knock.
There was a soft knock on Melina's door.
"Melina, my dear fiancée, I, your fiancé Domilik, have come to meet you again!" An elegant voice rang out after knocking on the door.
Without waiting for Melina's consent, the owner of the voice opened the door and walked into the room.
Melina was sitting at the dresser with her back to the door, as if she hadn't heard the man's words.
The Blood Baron Domilik entered the room, and when he saw Melina's petite but slender back, a lewd smile appeared in her pale and handsome manner, and her scarlet eyes were also full of lust.
What a wonderful and pure virgin, who will be the bride of me, the great Baron of the Bloods, Domilik, to be played with by me day and night, and enjoyed, and then. .
When I'm tired of playing, I'll drain her blood, eat her delicious entrails, and let her die of despair in a miserable howl!
Imagining such an image in his mind, the Blood Baron trembled slightly with excitement, but his voice still contained grace and love.
"Beautiful Melina, what are you doing, why don't you turn around and let me see your face?"
Melina's body trembled slightly, and she slowly sat down in her chair and turned around, looking at the Blood Baron with fear in her eyes, which she had been doing for the past two days.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Domilik, do you really promise not to kill me?" How can I trust you? ”
Domilik was about to frantically express his love to his fiancée like he had done two days ago, and the next second, he showed ecstasy.
This human virgin, her tone has finally changed, and she is beginning to think about believing her rhetoric!
Humans, it's really easy to deceive!
He immediately spoke: "Melina, my love for you is so hot, can you not believe me?" I swear by my family name that my love for you will never change, and as long as you are my wife one day, I will never empathize with him! ”
The blood clan swore an oath and laughed wildly in their hearts, Melina, it's a pity that the first rule of my family is to slaughter you with my own hands after I get tired of playing with humans, and at that time, you have become my food, and no longer my wife, of course I can have a new wife!
Melina's face hung down, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt at her knees, as if she was seriously considering.
Domilik looked at her excitedly, but didn't say anything more, knowing that he couldn't be too impatient at such a critical moment, or he would probably fall short.
Melina seemed to have finally made up her mind, she raised her head seriously to look at the Blood Baron, and said in a gentle voice, "Then, I may be your wife."
As she spoke, she stretched out her left hand to the little finger of her right hand, and then seemed to cheer herself up, and then carefully removed the ring from her little finger.
'I made it! The corners of Domilik's mouth curled into an impatient, lustful smile, and he was about to hug the beautiful girl who seemed to be like an elf.
Looking at the girl who bowed her head shyly in front of her, he was about to get what he wanted, and his vigilance came to the lowest level at this moment.
Hello!
The sound of a blade cutting flesh sounded!
In the next second, the blood baron's feet were empty, and the sole of his right foot had instantly detached from his body!
He steadied himself and jumped away with the sole of his left foot, dodging the second blow of the sword that came out from under the bed!
Then at the same time, he pulled out the thin sword around his waist like an enlarged embroidery needle!
A terrifying and hideous expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Melina viciously: "Slut! How dare you tease Baron Ben! I will tear you out to the bone and make you wail in despair for a thousand days before I send you to hell! ”
In the next second, Lancelot burst out from under the bed and stood in front of Melina, his hands clenched tightly in his sword and his battle stance, his eyes fixed on the Blood Baron.
With a cruel expression on his face, Domilik smiled coldly: "Where did the worm come from, did you have the audacity to attack me, are you ready to die?" ”
Lancelot's expression was calm, even in the face of an enemy one order higher than himself, he still indifferently provoked: "You have been cut off by me, the disadvantage is huge, it is difficult to say who loses and who wins." ”
Domilik's expression was smiling, and he tilted his head and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing as cutting off the right foot? How did I not know? ”
When Lancelot heard its words, he subconsciously looked at its severed foot, only to see a handful of scarlet blood slowly condensing and then turning into a intact paw.
His complexion changed, and he remembered that the blood demon after the transcendental, as long as the blood reserve is sufficient, the rebirth of the severed limb is only a matter of a hand, and it can almost be called an immortal body!
Domilik held his left hand behind his back, his right hand holding the sword in front of his chest, and the expression behind the thin sword was hideous and terrifying: "Slut, this guard of yours is just a first-order human, you expect him to protect you, it would be a big mistake, wait until I kill him, and then come back to you-"
"Slow, slow, play!"
With that, his figure burst out.
Due to the excessive speed, at this explosive speed, Domilik's figure disappeared for a moment, and then appeared in front of Lancelot in the next moment.
Shout!
With the sound of the violent wind, the slender blade in its hand, like a swift sword, seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, piercing Lancelot's left shoulder in an instant!
Lancelot snorted in pain, his face shocked, if he hadn't just relied on the ultimate sixth sense warning to move sideways at the last moment, he would have been pierced through the heart and died at this moment.
This is the strength of the transcendent second order, which can greatly stimulate a certain part of the body through the transcendent factor, and burst out with terrifying power and speed that cannot be reached by the first order.
Seeing that his opponent was lucky enough to dodge his own killer stab, Domilik couldn't help but show a cruel smile, handed the tip of the sword to his lips, stretched out his long and sharp tongue and slowly licked off the blood on it, revealing an intoxicated expression: "Ah this is the blood of a transcendent human, it's really delicious, I didn't kill you with a single blow, I don't know if it's your misfortune, or my luck." ”
It smiled cruelly: "After all, this means that you will be faced with my gift to you, and I will give it to you—a thousand cuts!" ”
After finishing speaking, Domilik took a step under his feet, and the figure disappeared again!
The loud buzz of the sixth sense resounded in Lancelot's head.
His face was bitter, and he subconsciously looked at the wardrobe, thinking to himself - in the face of such a terrifying enemy, it is normal for him not to dare to come out.
Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
With Domilik's cruel laughter.
Its figure weaved through the wide bedroom at high speed, each strike leaving a bone-deep trail of blood on Lancelot's body.
In the face of the explosive attack of a transcendent demon one rank higher, Lancelot's block always seemed so futile, dozens of wounds were cut on his body in an instant, and blood gushed out as quickly as a spurt.
In the next second, as if he had finally had enough of playing, Domilik's figure appeared a few meters away, it gasped imperceptibly, and then immediately laughed with a cruel expression: "This blow - give you relief!" ”
It kicked at its feet, the stone bricks on the ground exploded, and the whole person appeared in front of Lancelot with a terrifying wind flash, and the thin sword stabbed at his throat at high speed.
Lancelot was already in a bit of a trance and didn't know how to dodge.
Rumble!
The wardrobe suddenly exploded.
Qi Lin appeared!
He erupted with fiery power, and the single knife in his hand seemed to be wrapped around the illusion of raging fire.
At this moment, this single knife stabbed out with a speed that was not inferior to that of the enemy, and the illusory flames wrapped around the knife seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of the knife's stabbing speed, and three rings of flame like Mach rings were brought out.
Kagura, the god of fire, Seven no Kind, Yokatu!
In this case, if Domilik insists on assassinating Lancelot, then he himself will be shot in the head by Qi Lian's terrifying stab.
It burst into a roar, and violently withdrew its rapier and swung it at Qi Lone's single sword, giving up killing Lancelot while blocking Qi Lone's sneak attack.
The blade slashed along the side of its face, creating a hideous wound.
Domilik suddenly retreated and jumped away, staring viciously at Qi Lin who appeared: "I didn't expect that there was even a worm, why are there so many people who died today!" ”
As he spoke, the wound on his cheek, which had been cut by Qi Lone's spike, began to heal slowly.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Domilik felt that there seemed to be some kind of substance or energy left in the wound on his cheek that was scratched by Qi Lian's blade, which actually slowed down the recovery speed of his blood power a little.
Bang, behind Qi Lone, Lancelot, who was struggling to support, waited for Qi Lone's appearance, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person lost too much blood and fell to the ground.
However, since he no longer had to resist Domilik's crazy attack with all his strength, he had the strength to subconsciously control the muscles of his body, and closed the wounds scratched by the opponent to prevent the blood from flowing and dying.
Qi Lin also showed a wild smile, as if he was a second-order transcendent at this moment, and Domilik was just an ordinary miscellaneous demon: "This baron sir, I think your physical exertion must be quite a lot, so don't pretend!" ”
Domilik's face changed.
That's right, it was said by Qi Lian.
Although the continuous outbursts were strong, they were not something that a mere second-order bloodline could do without pressure.
Only a third-order transcendent existence can comprehensively maintain the body's explosive state by circulating transcendent factors in the body.
The seemingly incomparably swift continuous attack just now was essentially a technique that repeatedly urged the transcendent factors in its body to stimulate some muscles.
This technique is certainly strong, comparable to the third-order, but the physical exertion and physical pressure on the second-order creatures is too great.
Obviously, this technique is no longer sustainable.
But it didn't show weakness on its mouth, but said to Qi Lin gloomily: "I don't know what strange means you insect used to hide the extraordinary aura on your body, but judging from your attack just now, you are at most a first-order human being, and you are commendable for your courage to fight against me." ”
"Next, it's up to you!"
In the next second, it once again urged the transcendent factor to burst out!
Qi Lin also inhaled sharply at the moment when the other party launched an attack declaration, his lungs expanded rapidly, and the oxygen in the air and an extremely small amount of transcendent factors were also inhaled into his body together, turning into strengthening his body.
The next moment, his figure twisted at high speed! But as if he couldn't dodge, he was pierced in the head by Domilik's sword!
Dominic was overjoyed, but then saw that what he stabbed was nothing more than a brilliant afterimage.
What about people?
Ominous sensing reminds it to dodge immediately, but I don't see how people should dodge!
That's right! Its face changed, and the other party must be behind!
Thinking of this possibility, it lunged forward.
As it swooped forward, it could actually sense a fiery breath passing through the back of its head and back!
It was Qi Lian's attack!
Dodge moves that leave an afterimage - Fire God Kagura, Wanton Type, Phantom Sun Rainbow!
And the somersault slash that follows - Kagura Wood-type Train, the god of fire!
The attack didn't work, and Domilik lunged forward and quickly turned, completely annoyed, and burst forward with a loud shout, the sword in his hand and his right hand disappeared in an instant.
However, in Qi Lian's sixth sense, he knew that it was not the enemy's thin sword that disappeared, but that at that moment, the Blood Baron's attack speed was too fast, resulting in its attack at the moment being no longer visible to the naked eye!
The terrifying and frantic air flow came to his face, and in the next moment, the extremely fast and multi-stabbing attack like a shower was about to descend on Qi Lian's body.
Qi Lin continued to inhale violently.
While urging the breathing method with all his might, he simultaneously activated his hole card - Demon Suppression!
A little aura exploded, and the violent energy that was almost uncontrollable in the whole body was subdued by Qi Lin along with the emotions!
The fire god Kagura's powerful blessing on the body's functions, and the demon subduing has turned the violent power of this blessing into a stable control!
At this moment, Qi Lian's power reached its own extreme!
Four tons!
He felt as if his spirit and body had broken through some kind of barrier at this moment.
Between heaven and earth, more Qi poured into his whole body with his breath!
This time, there was a lot of Qi pouring in, and he was immediately keenly aware of this in the state of demon subjugation.
But his emotions were restrained, his face was as calm as water, and the divine light in his eyes became more and more intense.
In the face of the opponent's multiple assassinations, he clenched his single knife with both hands, and the image of the flame on the knife was more conspicuous than before, and it was almost not an imaginary image, but an illusion that was about to emerge in reality.
In the next moment, his hands and knife disappeared together, but countless illusory flames spread forward like whips!
Fire God Kagura, Land Type, Burning Bone Burning Sun!
The high-speed blade turned into a flaming blade and slashed wildly, intertwined with the Bloodbaron's almost disappearing assassination madness.
The confrontation between the two sides lasted only a second, and Domilik's invisible stab was completely broken by Qi Silence's swift and flame-like slash!
Domilik's whole person was also hit by more than a dozen knives in an instant, and he fell backwards!
In the next second, he fell to the ground like rags spurting blood all over his body.
The wound that should have recovered quickly, as if it was irradiated by the sun that he hated and feared the most, even the bones were burned, and the recovery speed was unprecedentedly slow!
What's going on! What the hell is going on! Why is the wound healing so slow?
The unprecedented fear drove Domilik into complete madness, and he howled, and the flesh from the wounds on his body exploded and fell off, and blood splattered out instantly.
The next moment, it turned into blood arrows and returned to his body in his crazy screams, and then, the scars on his whole body instantly recovered intact.
It gasped frantically, looking at Qi Lin deadly, its face as hideous as a demon: "What trick did you use to fool me so far!" ”
The next moment, its whole body erupted with huge blood qi, its body swelled a lot out of thin air, and the power of the whole person became extremely terrifying.
"Bloodburn!" Melina, who was hiding in the corner behind Qi Lian, looked at the vision of the Blood Baron, and couldn't help but remind in a loud voice: "Be careful, if he uses the secret method, his strength will be twice as strong in the future."
"Slut! Shut up! Domilik interrupted Melina's words with a loud shout, and then looked at Qi Lin with a crazy face, and laughed maniacally: "If you can let me use the secret method of the Lesenbra family, you should be blind even if you die." ”
At this moment, I'm afraid that the strength of this second-order blood clan has reached the third-order for a short time!
It slowly struck a forward position again.
As if in order to be worthy of the huge price of using this secret method, its movements were particularly slow, and its momentum was extremely long.
It has to appreciate the desperate look on its opponent's face.
Once this attack is issued, it will be a deadly attack that Qi Lin will definitely be unable to resist now.
This time, Qi Lin is facing a real and irreversible desperate situation.
However, at this time, he was still expressionless.
"It's not enough." He spoke to himself in a calm tone.
"Huh?" Domilik was stunned for a moment, and then regained his cruel smile: "So I can give you ten breaths of time to confess that you met me today!" ”
Qi Lian's face was indifferent, and he said again: "This little Qi is not enough"
Domilik smiled hideously, as if he was looking at a clown: "You have to save time, after all, you have seven breaths left to live." ”
In the playful eyes of the Blood Baron.
Qi Lin let go of the single knife in his hand, his hands were spread out and raised at his side like wings, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his forehead was raised.
The single knife fell to the ground with a crunching sound.
In Domilik's view, Qi Lin had completely given up resistance.
It smiled with maniacal joy: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it, make your despair a little more manifest, please me!" ”
As he spoke, his stabbing posture was completely in place, and it only took one step to completely assassinate Qi Lone.
However, because of the fury of its own transcendent factors, it ignores the fact that the external transcendent factors are also berserk.
The invisible Qi seemed to be attracted by a black hole and frantically poured into Qi Lian's body, and his physical functions were strengthened by these huge transcendent factors, and the basic physical strength began to rise wildly!
305 kg! 335 kg! 400 kg! 550 kg! 700 kg
One thousand, one male, one catty!
The transcendent factor that poured into his body suddenly reached a limit, and Qi Lin was shocked, and reopened his indifferent eyes.
The power of infinite terror exploded.
Qi Lian's eyes seemed to be blank, but the divine light in the depths of his pupils was as dazzling as the sun.
It was as if he had truly become a god at this moment.
The enemy who was looking down at him at the moment - the Bloodline Baron who had noticed that something was wrong and was beginning to tremble.
It's not just the enemy who fears.
At this moment, even Lancelot, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and Melina, who was hiding in the corner, could no longer withstand Qi Lian's extremely terrifying momentum, and fainted in an instant.
The tide was turned around in an instant!
Giggles.
Faced with the extremely terrifying momentum that Qi Lin suddenly erupted, Domilik's teeth couldn't help but start trembling wildly, and the impact made a series of knocking sounds.
Not only his teeth, but his whole body began to shake violently.
It was the horror of seeing the ultimate superior, the most terrifying natural enemy.
He couldn't even speak clearly, but he still asked his own question with difficulty: "Who are you? What a monster! ”
How ironic, the outer demons even have a day to call others monsters!
Qi Lin didn't speak, his face was calm, and his right hand slowly stretched out.
In the next second, a sharp blade with a lotus sword, more than one meter and six meters long, like a sword, appeared in Qi Lian's hand.
It is the Immortal Slash that opens the door.
He said indifferently: "If you are immortal, then it is just right to use this blade." ”
With that, he took a step forward, and then—vanished.
By the time his footsteps fell, he had already appeared in front of the Blood Baron!
The immortal slash in his hand was now entwined with a vision like a real flame, and an incomparably hot breath like the sun was radiating frantically towards its opponent.
Domilik fell into a frenzy of utter fear, and with a roar of rage, he was about to stab the rapier in his hand.
Sa!
In an instant, Qi Lin had appeared behind Domilik, maintaining a calm posture of standing and gently swinging forward with a slash.
The massive amount of flame wrapped around the blade completely, and the shaking flames distorted the light, making it almost impossible to see the appearance of the undead slash itself.
Kagura, the god of fire, the type of the saki, and the flywheel of the sun!
Domilik stood in a daze, and in the next second, half of his body above his chest slowly slipped down, and the wound cut by Qi Lin was scorched black, and the blood that was covered under the scorched black could not break through even if he tried his best, and it was difficult to connect the two bodies.
The scorching power of the fire god Kagura, which is like the sun, and the power of the immortal slash that severs the immortality, completely sealed the blood power of the blood clan and could no longer take effect.
As the upper half of Domilik's body slid to the ground, his face was puzzled, then frightened, then incompetent, and finally desperate!
It looked at Melina who fainted in the corner with resentful eyes, and shouted frantically, "Melina! I! I want you! Funeral! ”
With that, its eyes suddenly burst out with a large cloud of blood, and the blood turned into a terrifying bloody light in the process of flying, shooting straight towards Melina!
In the next moment, Qi Lone's figure quietly appeared in front of Melina, swinging the immortal slash at an extremely fast speed towards that ray of blood light.
But he saw that the blood light was an illusory thing at all, it passed through Qi Lian's immortal slash, and then quickly sank into Qi Lian's body.
At this moment, he felt that he had a strange connection with some underworld being.
He looked at Domilik again, but he was too dead to die.
[Slay Transcendent Creatures (2nd Order) and gain 100 Transcendence]
Qi Lin put away the demon subjugation, and this time, his spirit did not feel uncomfortable.
Emotions returned, a look of ecstasy gradually appeared on his face, he looked down at his hands, and then slowly clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power of his whole body, and couldn't help but indulge in it!
Finally, I'm extraordinary!
This sense of invincibility in the grip of great power. Although he had not yet reached the level of those transcendent fourth-order super masters he had seen
However, under the full force of the explosion, I am afraid that killing the third order is just a matter of probing and extracting things!
He excitedly took a few steps forward, but immediately felt a terrifying palpitation that frightened him to stop.
The palpitations slowly dissipated after a throbbing.
"What's the situation?" Qi muttered to himself.
[Demon Feast Blood Curse: You are carrying the blood curse issued by the descendants of the "Lesenbra Family" of the Blood Clan's Demon Party, if you can't lift it in time, you will face all the clans related to the Demon Feast Alliance in the 30th day]
Beyond the panel always lets him know what he's up against when he's at a loss.
Qi Lin looked helplessly at the situation depicted in the panel, and couldn't help but feel a little big.
Of course, he didn't think that this Blood Baron would be such a powerful existence in the Blood Clan.
Of course, he has seen vampire-related fantasy movies or anime.
Above the barons, there are viscounts, earls, marquises, dukes, princes, and ancestors, if they really want to be hunted down by a whole clan.
Unless he never goes to the Outlands again and stays on Earth for the rest of his life.
Otherwise, he'll be in big trouble.
