Linley entrusted Rebecca and her sister to the people of the Dawson Conglomerate in the provincial capital of Basil. Linley, Firis, Zassler, Bebe, and Haeru immediately set off for Deco.
"This time, there are only two combatants of the ninth rank in the escort team.”On the way, Zassler, who was seated on Haeru's back, laughed.”
"Zassler, the news of Perry's death should have been made known to the chief of the O'Brien Empire.”Linley suddenly said.
"I should know." Zassler said." However, they probably didn't expect me to know Soul Searching.”
The prefectural city of Deco was a medium-sized city that could accommodate more than 300,000 people. As a prefectural city that bordered the Beihai Province, the flow of people in the city was very large every day.
"We're here."
Staring at the enormous city in the distance, Linley's group came to a halt.
After six hours and eight hundred kilometers, Linley's and Firis 'breathing wasn't at all disordered. Actually, this was still far from the maximum speed Linley and Firis could reach. To the Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, this journey was naturally much easier.
"We're here. The sun hasn't set yet.”Zassler turned his head to look at the sun in the western sky, then sighed.
Perry had a clear address in his memory, because he had planned to personally come to Deco City to welcome them.
As for Linley, Zassler, and the others, they rented a nearby courtyard.
Money makes things easier!
And then, Linley, Firis, and Zassler quietly trained, waiting for the escorts to walk right into their trap.
…………………………
"They're here."
Linley, who had been paying attention to that courtyard every day, had already discovered that the courtyard, which had been empty all this time, was finally occupied, and from the sounds of it, there were quite a few people.
An emerald light flashed through Zassler's eyes, and he laughed evilly."I've waited for more than ten days. Linley and Firis, when were they going to attack?”As Zassler saw it, they had an overwhelming advantage, and could succeed at any moment.
"Late at night." Linley decided.
Zassler and Firis nodded.
The Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, was lying in the courtyard, pretending to sleep. He was quietly waiting for the arrival of the night. The prefectural city of Deco became quieter and quieter. When it was late at night, the entire city was almost silent.
Linley, seated in the lotus position, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Let's go." Linley glanced at Zassler and Firis.”
"Don't worry!" Phyllis smiled." Leo said that I'm not inferior to a Sanctuary Contender.”
"Don't worry." Zassler laughed confidently. "I'll summon the undead now.”A golden-haired, blue-eyed zombie appeared out of thin air in the courtyard. After a while, a humanoid creature in a black robe appeared in the courtyard.
"This is?" Linley stared, puzzled, at this black-robed humanoid.
"An old demonic corpse at the peak of the ninth rank." Zassler said with a smug smile.
Linley nodded. His side had so many experts, but the enemy only had two experts of the ninth rank. This battle was not challenging at all.
"Let's go."
Linley and Firis leapt out of the courtyard walls, Bebe and the Blackcloud Panther following closely behind. Zassler, the two golden-haired, blue-eyed zombies, and the old corpse demon also followed.
A moment later, they arrived outside the courtyard.
"Everyone, split up. I'll deal with the guards guarding the five brothers, then everyone will charge into the rooms.”Linley said in a low voice.
"Let's move."
………………………
After starting the operation, Phyllis directly barged into a room openly. There happened to be a warrior of the ninth rank inside.
Firis looked at the warrior of the ninth rank and smiled. The Blood Moon Sword in her hand turned into a red light and slashed across the neck of the warrior of the ninth rank.
"Can't even withstand a single blow!" Phyllis looked at the corpse with disdain. At that moment, suddenly-
"Get lost!" A furious roar was heard.
"Ah!" A painful cry sounded.
Phyllis's expression changed, and she immediately scurried into the courtyard. The old demonic corpse draped in a black robe was moaning in pain on the ground. The floor of the courtyard had already cracked inch by inch. It was obvious that the old demonic corpse had been blasted out and smashed onto the floor. Moreover, there was green blood on the ground.
At this moment, Linley hurried over as well.
"What happened?" Linley was shocked.
Zassler was also greatly shocked.”The old demonic corpse was a powerhouse at the peak of the ninth rank, and he was famous for his tough body. The expert in the room sent the heavily injured old demonic corpse flying with a single move. It was too terrifying.
Seeing this, Linley immediately had Bebe and Haeru return to the courtyard. At this moment, Barker and his brothers walked out as well, while Linley and Firis stared fixedly at the room.
"Humph."
With a cold snort, a skinny man walked out of the room. His short silver hair that was like steel needles made him look very resolute and cold. Especially that pair of cold eyes.
Stehle coldly looked at the old demonic corpse." Undead creatures?"
He raised his head to look at Linley and Zassler, then laughed coldly."Who did I think it was? So it was the necromancer Zassler and that so-called genius, the Dragonblood Warrior Linley!”
"Very good. They are all targets that my Holy See needs to capture. Today, I will capture them all.”Stehle's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Saint-level? Leo was right!" Phyllis immediately came to her senses when she saw Stehle. The person opposite her was a Sanctuary Contender. She then said excitedly," Leave this guy to me!”
The night was as cold as water, and the cold wind howled in the middle of the night. The escorts from Stehle's side had been killed in a short period of time, and now, Stehle was the only one left on their side.
On Linley's side were Linley, Firis, Bebe, Haeru, Zassler, and Barker.
The other party was only Stehle.
"Who are you?" Stehle looked at Firis in confusion, but he continued," No matter who you are, anyone who goes against the Church must die.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Stehle moved.
Stehle shot straight at Firis like an arrow, his black robe fluttering in the wind. At the same time, the longsword that was shimmering with a metallic luster slashed at Firis at an ordinary speed. As soon as the sword was drawn, a cold air filled the entire courtyard.
Firis felt as if she had instantly arrived in a world of ice and snow. The cold aura completely enveloped her. At the same time, the surrounding space was completely frozen. The longsword slashed at Firis at an ordinary speed with an unstoppable aura.
"Humph, this is the realm!" Phyllis snorted disdainfully and continued to dance her Blood Moon Sword. The Blood Moon Sword in Phyllis's hand seemed to be unaffected as it rapidly slashed at Stehle.
Stehle's eyes lit up.
"Puchi." His ice-cold longsword tore through space, instantly increasing its speed by ten times. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Firis.
Phyllis's Blood Moon Sword tore through space like a gale and blocked the cold longsword.
"Boom!"
The two swords collided in the air, and instantly, endless air currents, wind blades, and cold air scattered outwards with the two of them as the center.
Stehle felt an extremely sharp force coming from his opponent's sword, as if it wanted to cut him in half. Startled, Stehle could only use his Dou Qi to defend himself.
"Peng!"
A terrifying sound spread out with Stehle as the center. The silver-white warrior energy seemed to have gone berserk as it burst out in all directions. Each strand of silver-white warrior energy shot through the courtyard like an arrow.
Seeing this, Phyllis immediately took a step back and drew a circle with her Blood Moon Sword in front of her.
"Be careful!" Linley blocked the silver-white battle-qi, protecting the five Barker brothers behind him. But even so, he wasn't able to completely protect the five of them. The silver-white battle-qi still stabbed into the five brothers.”The five brothers managed to withstand the attack, leaving behind dozens of bloody wounds.
"What a powerful defense." Linley sighed in his heart.
Fortunately, Stehle had only unintentionally unleashed his battle-qi, and it had spread out in all directions. This was why Barker and his brothers hadn't died, but they were covered in wounds and blood.
As for Zassler, a knight in black armor stood before him, wielding a spear. This was one of Zassler's three peak undead of the ninth rank, the 'Black Knight Captain'.
"Boom!"
The walls of the surrounding courtyard collapsed, and even some of the surrounding residences were affected. Some people were killed by the scattered Saint-level battle-qi.
Phyllis and the others looked at Stehle seriously.
Phyllis had slashed a deep wound on Stehle's forehead. It was so deep that the bone could be seen, and blood flowed out from the wound. Stehle looked at Phyllis, who was completely unharmed, and said in shock,""You've actually cultivated to such a realm! Looks like I can't keep you alive."
" Humph!" Phyllis snorted." It's not certain who will live and who will die!”
Stehle looked straight at Firis and sighed."Young lady, I feel sorry for you. Your current level of comprehension isn't much different from that of an ordinary peak-stage Saint-level expert. Most people were stuck at the peak of the ninth rank, unable to step into the Saint-level precisely because their cultivation level was not high enough. On the other hand, your cultivation level is very high, but your battle energy is far from enough.”
"It's a pity that a genius like you is going to die.”
Stehle's gaze became sharp. He said coldly," In order to show my respect for you, I'm prepared to use my most powerful attack, Icebound World, to deal with you.”
After saying that, Stehle let out a cold laugh. His entire body began to emit a terrifying silver light. Stehle was like the sun, and the silver light easily covered a few hundred meters.
Stehle's gaze turned cold. It was a disgrace to almost be killed by a warrior of the ninth rank. "Icebound World!" Stehle growled.”
Phyllis, who was on the ground, saw a psychedelic sword shadow in the air that almost traveled through time and space and arrived before her in the blink of an eye. This illusory sword shadow seemed to fill Firis 'mind.
"Humph!"
Firis stared at the sword and focused her mental power. Then, her body slid to the side at an unbelievable angle, like a fish swimming, and she dodged Stehle's sure-kill sword. Then, the Blood Moon Sword moved.
The Blood Moon Sword trembled continuously, and an air blade appeared on the blade. Phyllis took advantage of this slip and slashed the Blood Moon Sword across Stehle's body.
Silence. At this moment, everyone held their breaths.
A drop of blood slid down from the Blood Moon Sword and landed on the ground.
"Thump!" Stehle didn't say a word before he was cut in half and collapsed.
Shocking! A Saint-level combatant was killed by a warrior of the ninth rank just like that.
"Dead?" Linley looked at Firis with a face full of disbelief."Too powerful. To be able to kill a Saint at the ninth rank…I'm afraid that even the ancestors of our Baruch clan couldn't do it!”
"He actually killed a Saint-level combatant!”Zassler stared at Firis in utter terror."This is the first time I've heard that someone of the ninth rank is capable of killing Saints…"
