Chapter 245: Duel
For the next three days, everything seemed to be uneventful.
The duel between Lin Lichuan and Moreira was extremely secret, and neither the Soul Court nor the Black Flame Council would spread it around.
Aaron and Xu Pei also had the consciousness of keeping secrets, and no one at the grassroots level knew about it, and the Ling Ling Court was operating normally and safely as usual, without being affected in the slightest.
However, there were exceptions, at least the members of the cadre level could not hide this matter from them, and the slashers, as well as Jiang Dianyuan and other cadres, soon learned about the duel.
Not surprisingly, except for the slashing swords who were relatively familiar with Lin Lichuan's strength, they could still look at it calmly, and the rest of them all expressed pessimistic worries about the duel.
Lin Lichuan saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything.
The court has only been established for a short time, and it is impossible to get his subordinates to trust him completely and unreservedly, but there is no need to care, as long as he leads them to continuous victory in the following time, cohesion and loyalty will naturally increase.
After all, he doesn't have the spirit of a king, and he can't make people unconditionally bow down and submit with a shock to his body, and that's not realistic.
So in this strange situation, the day of the duel soon came.
The location was chosen by the Black Flame Council and was located over the ocean about ten nautical miles from Black Flame Island.
At this time, it was approaching winter, and the not too cold sun shone on the surface of the sea, and in the sound of the sea turbulence, a small gunboat about 20 meters long slowly swayed its white hull, swaying slightly with the undulation of the sea.
The gunboat was provided by the Black Flame Council as a place to watch the battle, and the people who stayed on it at this time were not only Lin Lichuan, the slashers, and a group of cadres from the Lingling Court, but also Yao Qian and Yao Bing.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and everyone looked at the distance from afar, and from time to time they looked at Lin Lichuan in front of the deck.
The back was as calm and calm as ever, which calmed their restless and irritable hearts a little.
However, it didn't take long for this calm to be quickly broken again, and as far as the eye could see, a black dot suddenly appeared at the end of the sky in the distance, and it was speeding towards this side at an alarming speed, and everyone on the gunboat was a very eye-catching existence, and soon saw the man's face clearly.
It was a man who looked to be in his forties, with rare purple hair, and although his facial features were upright, he gave people a very gloomy feeling, exuding a cold and cold aura all over his body.
As his gaze came, even from Xu Yuan, everyone had the illusion of being targeted by evil ghosts in an instant, and weaker people such as Aaron and Xu Pei turned pale in an instant.
For a while, everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
However, in the next second, a strange and powerful momentum suddenly spread, and the cold aura shrouded in the gunboat was swept away, Aaron and the others suddenly felt light, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, turned their heads to look, and realized that the strange momentum came from Lin Lichuan.
At this time, the latter's body had risen into the air and greeted the person in the distance.
Lin Lichuan's figure then stopped in the air seven or eight hundred meters away from the gunboat, and the purple-haired man who was rushing towards him like a sharp arrow also stopped his body sharply, and his cold gaze glanced at Lin Lichuan like a poisonous snake licking a few times, and suddenly showed a sneer.
"I see, you are a slasher, your strength is indeed quite good, no wonder you can kill Zhang Zhou and them. ”
After a pause, his gaze stopped on Lin Lichuan's mask, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "It's just that I'm hiding my head and showing my tail." ”
"The people of the Enlightenment Sect are not qualified to say that you have always acted sneaky. Lin Lichuan said lightly.
"It sounds like you've been in contact with people from our sect before. ”
"Sort of. ”
"Then you should be able to appreciate the strength of our sect more or less, why do you want to oppose us?" said Moreira coldly.
Lin Lichuan smiled.
As Moreira said, if Lin Lichuan didn't know about the Qiming Sect before, he only thought that it was a secretive and extraordinary force, but what he saw and heard on Black Flame Island during this time made him know more about this mysterious sect, whether it was the attitude of the Black Flame Council towards the Qiming Sect, or the successive appearances of the Morning Star Knights such as Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Zhou and Guo Shengzhen, all of which proved the strong foundation of the Qiming Sect.
This is probably the most powerful transcendent force he has ever seen, even compared to the country.
Corresponding to the powerful forces, it is the actions of the Qiming Sect that implicitly has a chaotic tendency, Lin Lichuan asked himself if he was not a person with an excessive sense of justice, and he had no idea of eliminating the Qiming Sect for Tianxingdao, but it did not mean that he would join the other party.
It used to be so, and now with the Soul Court, it's even more so.
As for the threat of the Enlightenment Sect, although it is worth paying attention to, there is no need to be afraid, he is no longer a person who can be pinched and rounded.
It seemed that he didn't intend to get an answer from Lin Lichuan at all, and as soon as Moreira finished his last sentence, he followed in a low voice and said, "Let me ask one last question, would you like to join the Qiming Sect?"
"As long as you become one of us, I can promise that you will not be held accountable for killing Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Zhou and others. ”
Lin Lichuan didn't speak, his wrist flipped, and there was already an extra long sword in his palm.
The meaning of this action is self-evident, Moreira's gaze became colder and colder, and his eyes looked at Lin Lichuan as if he was looking at a dead man.
The air above the sea suddenly became tense, and the temperature around it seemed to drop a lot.
Everyone on the gunboat was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere in the air, and suddenly showed a heavy look.
"Your Excellency...... Is it all right?" a cadre of the Lingling Court couldn't help but ask, looking worriedly at the two people standing opposite each other in the air in the distance.
Aaron and Xu Pei's faces were heavy, and they pursed their lips and did not speak.
It wasn't until Moreira appeared and suppressed all the Golden-Rank cadres so that they couldn't move with their momentum alone, that they realized that they still underestimated the terrifyingness of the peak Morning Star Knight, and compared to Moreira, Yan Tianlong and the like were not worth mentioning.
In the face of such a powerful and terrifying enemy, can you really win?
Heavy thoughts came to the minds of the two of them.
In comparison, Jiang Dianyuan's expression is much more complicated, he is the latest of all the cadres in the Lingting Court to follow Lin Lichuan, the reason why he joined the Lingting Court is more or less forced by the situation, and the recognition of Lin Lichuan and the Lingting Court is not as good as Aaron and Xu Pei and others, and in the face of the current situation, his thoughts are naturally different.
Staying by Yan Tianlong's side all the year round, when it comes to understanding knights, Jiang Dianyuan asked himself in more detail than most of the people present, so he knew that the probability of Lin Lichuan winning this duel was extremely low, and once Lin Lichuan, as the leader, was killed, the Ling Court would undoubtedly fall apart, and at that time, Black Flame Island would return to the disorderly and chaotic state of many years ago.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dianyuan's face sank more and more, his strength lies in his management ability, his strength is far from being strong among the golden ranks, compared to the chaos of endless battles, he wants to maintain the current situation.
Sighing, Jiang Dianyuan looked up into the distance, now he could only hope that the situation would not go in a bad direction.
"It's a bit of a bad situation, the enemy seems to be too strong. Ghost Lantern Maru frowned, and looked at Moreira with a solemn gaze.
The powerful aura on the other party's body made him feel a little palpitation, and if he was facing him head-on, he was afraid that he would have to be defeated in less than a few rounds.
Hearing this, the gray cat couldn't help but glare at him: "Hey, big man, don't say such frustrating words, okay." ”
"I'm just telling the truth. Oni Lantern Maru crossed his arms and shook his head.
"Stop arguing. ”
Feimei frowned and interrupted the conversation between the two, glanced at the people not far away without a trace, and said in a low voice: "Once the situation is not right, we will take action immediately." ”
The gray cat and the ghost lantern pill glanced at each other, nodded tacitly, and the wabisuke behind him also bowed his head lightly with a gloomy face.
Unlike the others present, the slashers only cared about Lin Lichuan's safety, once the battle situation was unfavorable, they would desperately help Lin Lichuan get out, as long as they could successfully get out, with Lin Lichuan's growth speed, it wouldn't take long for him to become strong enough to easily kill the enemy, and sooner or later there would be a day of revenge.
As for the lives and deaths of the rest of the Lingling Court, it was not the object of their concern.
After making up their minds, the slashers immediately secretly condensed spiritual pressure and were ready to strike at any time.
On the other side, Yao Qian and Yao Bing's faces were calm and waveless, and their eyes were looking into the distance with deep eyes.
Among all the people present, they were the most powerful, and the breath in the air changed slightly, and the two of them noticed it for the first time, and their eyes suddenly became solemn at the same time.
Seven or eight hundred meters away, Lin Lichuan and Moreira suddenly shot at the same time.
Under the gaze of everyone, Moreira let out a low roar like a beast in his throat, his body suddenly rose a large section, and there was an endless dense crackling sound in his body in an instant, as if countless fireworks exploded inside, and the whole person instantly expanded in a large circle.
At the same time, the skin on his body was quickly dyed with a layer of cold iron blue, and dense bloodshot appeared in his eyes, intertwining and fusing to flood his pupils, and in the blink of an eye, his eyes became blood-red, and at the same time, his face also underwent strange changes, as if an invisible palm was pulling, tearing the corners of his mouth open, revealing bright red gums, and the teeth inside had become as sharp as jagged teeth at some point, revealing a chilling sharpness.
But in just a few moments, Moreira's appearance changed dramatically, from a human to the current hideous appearance like a demon, cold, evil, bloody, and cruel...... An indescribable aura spread from him, sweeping around him like a polar wind, making the air around him instantly cold.
