When Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu arrived on the first floor, they saw a bright light on the surface of the gate.

After breaking the rules of the trial and forcibly ascending to the fifth layer, the artificial intelligence of the Star Refining Tower seemed to disappear, neither making a sound nor stopping them from leaving.

I don't know if it's because it was determined that the personnel on duty were all killed by him and Lu Qiu, and according to the so-called 'Star Clan Trial Rules Article 132', they will no longer be held accountable for their violations.

"I didn't expect to explore the Star Refining Tower so smoothly. Lu Qiu looked back at the bright square.

Lin Lichuan bowed slightly, after all, the Star Refining Tower was a trial ground for the Morning Star Knights, and the personnel on duty had all turned into skeletons, and the defensive power was useless, so naturally they couldn't stop the two Radiant Moon Knights.

"There's still a month to explore, so why don't we explore the entire territory of the ruins, maybe we can find other discoveries, what do you think, Ah Chuan?" Lu Qiu asked.

"I'm fine. Lin Lichuan shrugged his shoulders, "By the way, you can hunt star beasts and alien beasts, this relic is a big treasure for me." ”

During the conversation, the door of the Star Refining Tower slowly opened with a low rumbling sound, and the two of them passed through the gap and came to the outside of the Star Refining Tower.

The moment the sunshine and green forest came into view, Lin Lichuan suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp, a cold air suddenly rushed up from his back, and his heart suddenly tightened as if it was grabbed by an invisible big hand.

Without hesitation, he decisively unlocked the Heavenly Lock and slashed the moon, and at the same time, his face was instantly covered with a white mask, and he had already entered a state of voiding.

The next second after doing all this, Lin Lichuan felt that a ghost-like figure had quietly come to him and Lu Qiu, and two dry ghost-like palms poked out from under the gray robe, slapping him and Lu Qiu on the left and right.

The palm bones were prominent, and the skin was shriveled, like the aging palm of an old man, but it was entangled with countless filament-like black energy, giving people a strong sense of danger to the extreme, but in an instant, it silently attacked in front of Lin Lichuan.

At this distance, it was too late to cast the Crescent Sky Rush, many thoughts flashed in Lin Lichuan's mind for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly condensed, and the black spiritual pressure in his body burst out, quickly condensed onto the sword blade, and as he swung his sword and slashed forward, it exploded in an instant.

Black Stream Tooth Protrusion!

The black mist-shrouded palm and the thick black spiritual pressure collided with each other in the void in an instant.

Without any sound bursting out, the void where the two collided instantly distorted, erupting into a terrifying wave that was silent but seemed to be able to destroy everything.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that only an instant had passed, and the spiritual pressure that erupted from the Black Stream Tooth was completely annihilated, but fortunately, the strength of the shriveled palm had also been exhausted, and Lin Lichuan finally blocked this blow that made people feel a strong fear of death.

However, there was no joy on his face, because he quickly realized that the reason why he was able to block this blow was not because he was strong enough, but because the attacker focused more on Lu Qiu.

The main target of the other party's sneak attack was not him, but Lu Qiu, who was stronger and more threatening.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the palm that attacked Lu Qiu was almost completely wrapped in black energy, and just looking at it, it made people feel a strong palpitation from the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Qiu's reaction was not as good as Lin Lichuan's, and he barely reacted until the attack almost touched his body.

And just before she was about to be hit, a bright light instantly burst out from the necklace around her neck, spreading rapidly in all directions centered on her.

The moment it was swept by the light, the attacker's figure stagnated slightly, and the countless black qi filaments wrapped around the palm of his hand suddenly lost one-fifth, followed by a small and delicate ring worn by Lu Qiu on the little finger of his right hand and shattered with a click, and a thick and indestructible aura emerged from it, turning into an earthy yellow shield with a diameter of about fifty centimeters, and the light and shadow appeared in front of the attacker's palm out of thin air.

Click!

The palm of his hand was heavily imprinted on the light and shadow of the shield, and the black qi filament was instantly reduced by one-fifth, and the price paid was that the light and shadow of the shield shattered like glass, turning into countless light particles and dissipating.

However, the damage of the two high-level transcendent guardian props had already won Lu Qiu a chance to breathe, and the violent spatial fluctuations appeared in an instant, gathering in front of the attacker's palm, and the shriveled palm suddenly seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and the speed suddenly became sluggish.

However, this only lasted for a moment, as the black qi filaments decreased at an alarming speed, the palm of the hand returned to its original speed, and it was firmly and irresistibly imprinted on Lu Qiu's abdomen.

In an instant, Lu Qiu's face turned pale.

"Let's go!"

Lin Lichuan only felt that his arm was tightened, and he was already grabbed by Lu Qiu's hand, and in the next second, his eyes flickered, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that he was no longer in front of the Star Refining Tower, but somewhere in the forest.

Lu Qiuyou didn't stop, and took Lin Lichuan to flash several times in a row, until he came to a river, he finally couldn't support it, and his body stumbled and was about to fall forward, but Lin Lichuan held him in time.

It was only at this time that Lin Lichuan was stunned to find that the girl's face had become very pale for some time, without a trace of blood on her face, and what was even more terrifying was her abdomen, where there was a clear palm print, and the clothes on her abdomen had completely dissipated into powder, and the black gas under the exposed snow-white skin was swirling, faintly exuding a heavy, cold, and gloomy atmosphere.

"You're hurt!"

Lin Lichuan's complexion changed slightly, and Lu Qiu's condition at this time was obviously very seriously injured.

Lu Qiu waved his hand, took out a bottle of elixir containing emerald green liquid from the storage space, raised his head and drank it, and as the medicinal power spread, his face finally had a touch of ruddy blood.

It's just that the black qi in her abdomen still shows no signs of abating.

"This is a special attack fused with dark attribute qi and dark element energy, and the recovery drug cannot be cured, so it can only be expelled by relying on the energy in the body. Lu Qiu frowned, and his pale face showed unprecedented solemnity, "I didn't expect that guy to appear here." ”

"Who?" Lin Lichuan asked with a frown.

"Celt Rodrigo, the Grand Priest of the Qiming Sect and the Deputy Chief of the Execution Facility, he himself is an extremely rare Dark Elemental Envoy, and he has also cultivated a Dark Attribute Martial Arts Technique, this kind of combat method that fuses Dark Elemental Energy and Dark Attribute Qi is unique to him in the entire continent, I will never admit my mistake!" Lu Qiuyin gritted his teeth.

"It's Qiming again. Lin Lichuan frowned, "What level of Knight is this person named Selte?"

"Level 30. Lu Qiu smiled bitterly.

Lin Lichuan suddenly took a light breath, no wonder the pressure that person gave him was so huge, if it wasn't for the palm just now that Celt used most of his strength to deal with Lu Qiu, I'm afraid he would have been killed in one blow.

Just look at Lu Qiu's situation at this time, at the cost of the damage of two high-level transcendent guardian props, she was still seriously injured by Selle's palm.

Level 30 is only two levels of bio-energy higher than level 28, but their strength is very different.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but show annoyance.

"The dignified peak Radiant Moon Knight, against an opponent who is weaker than himself, he still uses this kind of indiscriminate sneak attack method, it is shameless enough!"

Lu Qiu said softly: "The Qiming Sect's execution center is specially responsible for dealing with some shady things, and all the members will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and Selter, as the deputy chief executioner, is naturally no exception. ”

"You're familiar with the Enlightenment Sect?"

Lu Qiu replied: " The Qiming Sect is not prominent in the southern part of the continent and the other three regions, but it is a notorious organization in the central region of the continent, they worship the Star Clan, thinking that sooner or later the Star Clan will re-descend on the continent and conquer the entire Terran with irresistible strength, and therefore, the Qiming Sect has always been aimed at weakening the Terran Race, and has been secretly carrying out sabotage activities, either provoking contradictions and wars between the major forces, or assassinating the geniuses of the Terran Race, if it weren't for their hidden whereabouts, they would have been uprooted by the major heraldic families of the Blue Sky Dynasty together. ”

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Although I had expected that the Qiming Sect was not a good product, I didn't expect it to be a personal traitor organization, as a human being, I actually planned to help foreign invaders of the human race, and I don't know what those guys were thinking in their heads?

Lin Lichuan subconsciously recalled the various behaviors of the Qiming Sect that he had seen, the leader of the mercenary army who smuggled arms, the head of the rebel forces in Baiguan Province, Lu Mengzheng who lurked in the Zhou family with the intention of provoking the conflict between the Zhou and Gu families, and Jia Danzuo, who intervened in the civil war of the crown prince of the Tania Empire...... In the past, the Qiming Sect only acted in favor of evil, but now it seems that every action they have made is clearly premeditated, in order to provoke a civil war of the Terrans in order to weaken the strength of the Terrans.

It's just that these things are ruined by him.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who has caused you to be tired, the Qiming Sect and I have a lot of grievances, and most of them came for me this time. Lin Lichuan said apologetically.

Lu Qiu smiled palely, shook his head and said softly: "Ah Chuan, I am a descendant of the heraldic family, and I have the power of the knight rank, so I am naturally the assassination target of the Qiming Sect, once they find out that I left the central region of the continent and came to the south, they will definitely not let me go." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be Selte, one of the five high priests who went deep into the Ring of Sighs to hunt us down, and the Enlightenment Sect really looked up to us. Although he said joking words, Lu Qiu's expression was not relaxed at all, but full of solemnity.

Lin Lichuan also frowned deeply, he vaguely remembered that there were two gray-robed people near the Star Refining Tower at that time, who were obviously also from the Qiming Sect, but it didn't matter anymore, just one Selte, he and Lu Qiu couldn't deal with it together, not to mention that Lu Qiu was seriously injured right now.

"The priority right now is to find a place to hide so that you can concentrate on your injuries. ”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lichuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were blazing, and he already had a plan in his heart.
