Chapter 2: The Festival Changes
Since being selected by the Wu family as the living sacrifice of the Spring Festival, Lin Shengsheng has decided to rebel.
He wanted to live, not only to live, but also to escape, to get rid of his slavery. One day in the future, he will go to the imperial capital, kill the prince of Zhenguo, and avenge Zimmer.
Therefore, Lin Shengsheng used the transparent and invisible characteristics of the Shadow Blade to secretly hide the Shadow Blade on his body and bring it to the festival.
The Shadow Blade was only twenty centimeters long, and Lin Shengsheng hid it on the inside of his right forearm, and when he was escorted to the square by the black-armored soldiers of the Holy Spirit Temple to kneel, Lin Shengsheng quietly used the Shadow Blade to cut the rope that bound his arm.
The temple had an oracle still reciting the prayers, and everyone in the temple square knelt down, bowing their heads and listening reverently, and the priests of the festival had come to them with a sharp long knife. As soon as the priest's prayer was finished, their heads were cut off and sacrificed to the gods.
Lin Shengsheng had carefully observed these sacrificers, and found that most of them had the strength of quenching the body six to seven folds, which was one line higher than his strength of only quenching the fifth fold.
However, Lin Shengsheng is not worried, he has the Shadow Blade, and he has also learned to "kill one step at a time".
With the Shadow Blade and one step at a time, Lin Shengsheng was confident that as long as the opponent was not a super strong person who had reached the Divine Transformation Realm or had surpassed the Quenching Realm, he would have a great chance to kill the other party if he was caught off guard.
The important thing is that Lin's main purpose in life is to escape, not to kill.
After waiting for a long time, the priest finally finished reading the prayer of the divine envoy.
At the sound of the order, the priests raised their long knives.
It was at this time that Lin Shengsheng took action.
With a movement of his arm, he detached the rope that had been secretly cut from his body, and then waved his right hand towards Lu.
I didn't see the light of the sword, but I could faintly hear the faint sound of breaking the air, and a thin red line appeared on the neck of the priest who had just raised the long knife above his head, and as soon as his face froze, the red line suddenly turned into a fountain, and blood spurted out.
Before the sacrificer fell to the ground, Lin Shengsheng jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the divine envoy on the steps like a rabbit.
Since the Holy Spirit Sect became the state religion of the Great Spirit Empire, there has really been no incident where the living sacrifice of the festival broke out and killed the sacrificer. Therefore, before the divine envoy who had just finished reciting the sacrificial text had returned to his senses, he was restrained by Lin Shengsheng, who rushed up, and put it on his neck with a Shadow Blade.
Most of the nobles and commoners present still bowed their heads, and none of them reacted.
It wasn't until the blood from the priest's neck spurted out and the body fell to the ground with a "bang" that someone reacted and screamed in horror and disbelief.
"Ah......h
"He killed the Sacrificer?"
"He... How dare he ...... like that?"
"This slave is crazy... Are you crazy enough to dare to make a move against the Divine Envoy?"
"God......"
Lin Shengsheng's back was already soaked with cold sweat at this time, and he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
I have long heard that the oracle is the spokesperson of the Holy Spirit Sect, and not only has the talent to communicate with the "gods", but also is a spiritual practitioner of no low grade.
The so-called spiritual cultivator is a more famous and mysterious cultivator in the Eastern Spirit Continent, who is said to be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store it in himself, and can cultivate incredible supernatural powers, fly to the heavens and the earth, be omnipotent, and even be able to live forever and become a god in the flesh.
Because of the amazing supernatural powers, the spiritual cultivator is more noble than the martial artist in the Eastern Spirit Continent, and the capable spiritual practitioner can not only be directly named a nobleman, welcomed by the family power in various places, but also live in the palace as an offering, and the royal family directly pays for it.
In the Great Spirit Empire, more than 70% of the spiritual practitioners have joined the Holy Spirit Sect. The leaders of the Holy Spirit Cult, the major priests, the preachers, and the priests of the Holy Spirit Temples throughout the country are said to be spiritual teachers.
Thinking of what Zimmer had told him about the power and horror of the spiritual cultivator, Lin Shengsheng felt very nervous about making a move on the divine envoy. But he couldn't help it, because the escape path he chose was behind the temple, behind Lingluo Mountain.
That place is said to be a forbidden place that makes the entire Dongling Continent smell and change the color - the Misty Forest.
Lin Shengsheng knew that with his strength of only quenching his body fivefold, even if he had the Shadow Blade and "One Step One Kill", he might not be able to escape under the wanted of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Once he makes a move, not only the Holy Spirit Sect, but also the entire Nanjun will want him, and even if he escapes from Lingluo Mountain, he won't be able to escape for long. Therefore, the only way to survive is the forbidden place in the mountain behind Lingluo Mountain, where legend has it that there is a misty forest that has no entry or exit.
To get to the back mountain of Lingluo Mountain, you have to bypass the Holy Spirit Temple, and the Divine Envoy is the only one standing in front of the Holy Spirit Temple.
Guessing that this divine envoy might be a holy spirit master, Lin Shengsheng was already ready for a vicious battle with the divine envoy, but he didn't expect the result to be so easy. This divine envoy seemed to be just an ordinary person, and he asked him to subdue him without reacting.
Although it was so easy to succeed unexpectedly, Lin Shengsheng had not forgotten the plan that he had rehearsed hundreds of times in his mind, and immediately retreated to the Holy Spirit Temple with the divine envoy.
The people present finally reacted at this moment, and the first to pounce were the sacrificers, who gave up the living sacrifice to be beheaded one by one, and rushed towards Lin Shengsheng with knives. The black-armored soldiers guarding the periphery also reacted, but the fastest were the four bronze warriors who served as the guardians of the divine envoys.
These four bronze warriors also knelt down in front of the giant statue with the nobles when the divine envoy recited the sacrificial text, and when they found out that Lin Shengsheng had killed the sacrificer and held the divine envoy hostage, they were all like frightened rabbits, and they rushed up the steps in the blink of an eye, surrounding Lin Shengsheng and the divine envoy.
Seeing the astonishing speed of these four bronze warriors, Lin Shengsheng immediately knew that he was not an opponent, and at that moment, the Shadow Blade in his hand tightened, drawing a red line on the neck of the divine envoy.
"You stand back, or I'll kill him right away!"
Feeling his neck cut by a sharp blade, the face of the oracle turned white with fright.
"You... You slave, you are so bold, do you know who I am, I am an oracle of God! You dare to do this to me, you are not afraid of the gods to sin......"
"Shut up and let them retreat, or I'll cut your neck, and you go to hell and ask the gods to condemn me!"
Lin Shengsheng's right hand moved again, and the incision in his neck became larger, and blood flowed out.
With a "hiss", Lin Shengsheng smelled an unpleasant stench.
But it was this god who made the adults so frightened that they urinated.
"You... Stand back, and don't let him hurt me...... Hurry back ......"
The four bronze warriors looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat.
Their duty is to protect the oracles, and if they are killed in front of them, they will never survive.
Unable to see the Shadow Blade in Lin Shengsheng's hand, the four bronze warriors didn't know what means Lu Daolin had in his life, and they didn't dare to make a move under the rat trap, but it was not enough to let a slave hold the divine envoy hostage, and the four bronze warriors could only keep a certain distance and follow the two carefully.
