Chapter 7: The Baron of the Mask
"Baron of Masks. "Bai Cangdong didn't dare to reveal that he was an ordinary person without a title, so that even if his own combat power was not inferior to any baron, the barons could use their three major privileges to threaten Bai Cangdong, so that Bai Cangdong had to give in.
Every person who holds a knighthood has three privileges, immunity, judgment, and sanction, and these three privileges can only be used by those who are lower than himself, and only once in twelve hours, and even then, no one dares to ignore these three privileges.
Immunity: Exempt from all harm inflicted on oneself by a person below one's own title.
Judgment: Imprisons those below their own title, immobilizing them, and incapacitating them from any martial arts and immortality.
Sanction: A punishment from the gods that greatly reduces the strength, speed, and physical strength of enemies whose titles are lower than their own.
The more the difference in titles, the stronger the power of the three privileges, so that those with low titles can only obey those with higher titles, which is the foundation of the title system.
No one doubted Bai Cangdong's words, after all, how could a person with Bai Cangdong's skills not be a baron, so no baron dared to use the three major privileges on him.
"Your Excellency shouldn't be from our Sword Lun City, right?" Du Changlong asked again.
"Passing by here, I didn't expect to encounter the immortal altar in the world. Bai Cangdong replied.
"That's really unlucky, but since we've come to this point, please work with us to find a way to rush to the altar of immortality and shatter the Immortal Crystal so that everyone can be saved. ”
"That's as it should be. ”
Bai Cangdong found a place to sit down, and everyone talked about it, some advocated that everyone kill the altar together to see if there was a chance to break through the group of splitters and rush to the altar, while others advocated that everyone should divide into several teams and rush to the altar from different directions, so that the group of splitters would spread out and it would be easier to rush to the altar.
Bai Cangdong listened for a while, and probably knew that there were nearly a thousand split-head ghosts gathered at the altar, and with the hundred or so people here, only half of them had the power of the baronial title, and they couldn't even pass the level of the split-head ghost group, let alone kill the skull-splitting ghost on the altar and shatter the immortal crystal.
"That won't work, our strength is simply not enough to confront the Splitting Ghost Horde, and the final outcome can only be to be killed all. Du Changlong said loudly.
"Then what do you say, sit here and wait to die?" someone said coldly.
"I have a way, I have an armed armor here, it is very strong, even if it is a mutated head splitter, a full blow will not leave a trace on it, as long as you wear this armor, you don't need to pay attention to those head splitters, you can directly rush to the altar to fight the head splitter. ”
"If there's such a good thing, just say it early. The people rejoiced.
Du Changlong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that this is only a half-body armor, which can only protect the upper body and arms, but the head and lower body can't protect it, so I can contribute this armor, if you have other weapons that can be comparable to it, you can also contribute it together, put it on one person's body, that person will have the opportunity to rush to the altar to kill the skull-splitting ghost and shatter the immortal crystal." ”
"Brother Du is right, I have a horn helmet here, although it is not as good as Brother Du's armor, but those head-splitting ghost axes are useless to it, so I will contribute it. ”
"I have a ...... here"
Everyone sacrificed their own weapons, and it didn't take long for them to really assemble a set of extremely luxurious baron-level weapons, and there were as many as six weapons alone.
When it came time to choose who would put on this suit and rush to the altar, the crowd was at odds.
With this set of weapons, which can be called a pervert at the baron level, many people have the confidence to rush to the altar and slash the skull-splitting ghost to shatter the immortal crystal, and then the problem arises.
The person who breaks the immortal crystal can get a special title, which has a privilege that ordinary titles do not have, even if you reach the level of a marquis or even a duke, as long as you have not broken the immortal crystal, you will not have this title and privilege, so the barons who think they are outstanding here want to be the one who rushes to the altar to break the immortal crystal.
Bai Cangdong watched coldly from the side, seeing that the barons who were very confident in their own strength were fighting openly and secretly, and they all wanted to put on that set of arms and rush to the altar, and they couldn't stop sneering in their hearts.
He wasn't optimistic about the armament, and he didn't think the Skullsplitter would be so easy to deal with.
However, since someone was willing to be the Pathfinder Stone, he was also happy to take a look at the true strength of the Skullsplitter.
The crowd argued for a long time, and finally most of them agreed to let a man with the title of "Sword and Shield Baron" put on that suit and rush to the altar to smash the Immortal Crystal.
The Baron of Sword and Shield also promised to return all weapons to their original owners after shattering the Immortal Crystal.
"Although that set of weapons is enough to resist the attack of the Splitter, in order to save the strength and time of the Sword and Shield Baron, the rest of us still divided into eight squads according to the original plan and rushed to the altar from eight directions at the same time to distract the attention of the Splitter Ghost group, so that the Sword and Shield Baron could rush to the altar faster. After a pause, Du Changlong said again: "Of course, our task is mainly to distract the attention of the group of splitting ghosts, everyone should pay attention to their own safety, and if the situation is not right, retreat immediately, safety first." ”
Everyone agreed, and soon under Du Changlong's arrangement, they were divided into eight teams, Bai Cangdong was divided into the northeast team, and a group of more than ten people made a detour for a long time, killing a lot of lonely head splitters on the road, and finally arrived at the position before the designated time.
"There are so many split-head ghosts!" Bai Cangdong looked from a distance, and he couldn't see the appearance of the altar at all, and there were groups of split-head ghosts everywhere around the altar, and the number was amazing.
"Can the Baron of Sword and Shield really rush through?" said one of the ordinary people in the team in shock.
"There shouldn't be any problem, no matter how many head splitters there are, it's useless, with that set of pervert-level armed protection, head splitters can't hurt the sword and shield baron at all. The other man spoke out comfortingly.
"It's time, let's go. The temporary captain of the team, Baron Stonefist, gave an order, and everyone had to rush in the direction of the altar.
Eight squads rushed to the altar from different directions, and the group of splitters suddenly became chaotic, and the baron with a luxurious armed sword and shield took advantage of the chaos to rush to the altar, and tried his knife halfway, and with the support of a powerful armament, he easily killed more than a dozen splitters who blocked the way, but those splitters could not hurt him in the slightest, and everyone who watched was in high spirits.
Seeing that the baron of the sword and shield was as fierce as a tiger, holding a knife and a shield and rushing towards the altar quickly, the head splitter who blocked him was either directly hit by the shield or cut off his head by the big knife, and no one could stop his footsteps, everyone cheered, and worked harder to deal with the head splitter around him.
The Baron of Sword and Shield bravely broke through the blockade of the Splitting Ghost Group, and actually made him rush to the altar.
On the black and red altar covered with runes, the pillar of light rushed into the sky from the center of the altar, and a split-headed ghost was resurrecting from the stone pillar on the edge of the altar, and the three-meter-tall, body as red as blood, holding a giant axe like a demon god-like skull-splitting ghost was staring at the sword and shield baron who rushed to the altar with a pair of blood-like eyes.
"Fuck you, fuck it. The Baron of Sword and Shield swallowed and screamed and rushed towards the skull-splitting ghost.
The huge body of the Skullsplitter was not clumsy at all, and it was as fast as lightning, and the Baron of Sword and Shield watched it pick up the giant axe, which was already in front of him, and smashed down on the spot.
There was no time to dodge, and the Baron of Sword and Shield could only use his shield to carry the giant axe with a blow.
"Boom!"
After the earth-shattering loud noise, the sword and shield baron was split back dozens of meters, and the big shield, which was the best in the baron's level, had an extra crack in the middle that ran through the entire shield, and the shield was almost split in half.
All the people who saw this scene were shocked and exclaimed, the sword and shield baron was even more pale, such a superb shield was actually abolished by the skull splitter with an axe, and the strength of the skull splitter ghost was far beyond everyone's expectations.
But the sword and shield baron had no way out, so he could only throw away his shield and rush forward with a knife in both hands.
The ending was very cruel, and the set of weapons that everyone had high hopes for couldn't resist the skull-splitting ghost at all, and was cut to pieces by the giant like cutting tofu.
The Baron of Sword and Shield only had time to throw the broadsword in his hand, leaving an innocuous scar on the arm of the Skullspliter, and then he was torn apart by the axe, and the blood-splattered altar was all over the place.
Everyone felt that their scalps were numb and their legs were weak, and the strength of the skull-splitting ghost made them desperate, and the sword and shield baron's own strength was already one of the best among everyone, coupled with that luxurious set of weapons, he was cut down by the skull-splitting ghost in a few strokes, and everyone was thrown into the abyss of despair at once.
"It's over, it's all over, we're all going to die here!"
"No matter how powerful the armament is, it is useless, it is not a level contest at all, and the skull splitter is definitely a viscount-level terrifying existence. ”
Everyone lost their souls, and even forgot to flee for their lives, even if they fled now, what was the use, in the end, they could only be killed, and everything was unfortunate if they couldn't reach the altar.
Bai Cangdong's eyes were like fire staring at the skull-splitting ghost roaring in the sky above the altar, and his eyes were focused on the wound caused by the sword and shield baron's long knife.
"The baron-level armament can hurt the Skull Splitter, which shows that the toughness of the Skull Splitter is not very high, and the Ayara Sword should be able to kill it, but the speed of the Skull Splitter is too fast, with my current speed, even if I use the blade step, I will probably not be able to dodge its attack, and I will definitely die if I confront it head-on. ”
Everyone was retreating, but Bai Cangdong was going backwards towards the altar.
"There's always a chance to go now, and if you don't go, you'll die. Bai Cangdong understood even more that now that the group of splitting ghosts was attracted and dispersed by everyone, he still had a chance to rush to the altar, if he didn't go now, these people would definitely not have the courage to come a second time, at that time, the splitting ghosts were all gathered in front of the altar, and he didn't even have a chance to rush to the altar.
"What are you doing, don't you run away quickly?" and Bai Cangdong's team, seeing Bai Cangdong's abnormal behavior, shouted loudly.
"Are your ears deaf, and your head is funny?" Seeing that Bai Cangdong was still heading towards the altar, someone shouted.
"Leave him alone, let's run for our lives. ”
Deaf to the voices of others, Bai Cangdong concentrated all his mind on the altar, and every step he took was carefully calculated by his brain, he had to rush to the altar as fast as possible, reserving enough physical strength to deal with the skull splitting ghost, but he did not have the luxurious armament of the sword and shield baron, he could ignore the attack of the head splitting ghost, and the only reliance was the blade step, the pain knife technique and the Ayaluo sword.
In the group of splitters, Bai Cangdong swayed left and right like a ghost, and his body passed through the group of splitters from an incredible angle, and several times he squeezed past the body of the splitters.
From the perspective of others, Bai Cangdong seemed to have really turned into a disembodied ghost, passing through the group of splitting ghosts like an iron wall, and every time he passed, there were several splitting ghosts like evil spirits, and their bodies twitched strangely.
Bai Cangdong didn't have time and energy to waste on the Splitting Ghosts, and only stabbed one sword at a time on the Splitting Ghosts that blocked him, making them in unbearable pain and unable to pursue, and there was no time to make up for another sword to kill them.
