A dull sound came from this place and resounded in all directions.
In front of the Scarlet Knight, the wall behind Lu Yao shattered inch by inch. Affected by the power contained in her body, it shattered from the most basic structure and turned into dust.
Lu Yao spat out a large mouthful of blood, and her injuries seemed to have worsened.
She fell to the ground powerlessly and looked at the Scarlet Knight standing in front of her. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness.
After experiencing this series of cruel battles, not only did Lu Yao not feel fear like ordinary people, but she also became braver and the will in her heart never extinguished.
This tenacious attitude surprised the Scarlet Knight.
"Good eyes."
The Scarlet Knight looked at Lu Yao in front of her and couldn't help but nod, affirming her spirit and will to fight.
No matter what, as an ordinary girl, Scarlet was able to fight with her until now and still persevere tenaciously.
Not to mention anything else, just this spirit and momentum was praiseworthy.
In this regard, the Scarlet Knight wasn't stingy with her affirmation.
However, she still had to do what she had to do.
With a single thought, Lu Yao flew out again. This time, she was directly fixed in mid-air by a powerful force.
In front of her forehead, the Golden Mark was still appearing, and a faint golden light bloomed on it, enveloping her entire body.
This was the power of the Golden King, and it was still providing her with power. Even after such a long time, it didn't fade.
However, after such a long time, the power of the Golden Mark had finally reached a limit.
After all, no matter what it was, there would always be a limit.
Even the Golden Mark, which was left behind by the Golden King, was ordinary.
At this moment, there were already slight cracks on the originally bright golden mark.
At this moment, the mark dimmed and seemed a little powerless.
Looking at the Golden Mark in front of her, the Scarlet Knight stood in the same place. Her face was covered by the Scarlet Mask, and she couldn't see her face clearly. She just silently stretched out her hand.
She stretched out her hand and pressed it against the Golden Mark.
This action seemed ordinary, but in reality, it contained an extremely terrifying power.
At this moment, Lu Yao had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
If she were to be touched by the Scarlet Knight, she was afraid that something terrible would happen.
It was the same in reality.
Within her body, the power that originated from the Golden King suddenly rose. At this moment, the Golden Mark was glowing, as though it had sensed some kind of danger and was vibrating spontaneously.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Lu Yao struggled, it was already over.
Her power was no match for the Scarlet Knight. This had been the case even when she was at her peak, so there was no reason for her to win now that she was so weak.
Thus, her struggle was destined to be futile.
"Be quiet!"
Standing on the spot, the Scarlet Knight casually waved her hand, and a powerful force surged out, suppressing the power that appeared on Lu Yao's body. She then continued to stretch out her hand.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out. It sounded exceptionally crisp, like the sound of glass shattering. It was exceptionally bright and clear.
It was very unique.
At this moment, Lu Yao's body completely froze. She just stood there like that, unable to move at all.
Within her body, the almost inseparable power that had become one with her was now being affected by the power of the Scarlet Knight. At this moment, it was going berserk, as if it was about to be extracted.
"She wants … to extract the Golden Mark from my body?"
As she floated in the air, Lu Yao endured the intense pain in her body as she thought to herself.
At this moment, even without the Scarlet Knight's explanation, she knew what she wanted to do.
It was obvious that the Scarlet Knight had lost all her patience. She was prepared to strip the Golden Mark from Lu Yao's body and extract it.
Once the Golden Mark was extracted, Lu Yao's power would be completely taken away, and she would become an ordinary girl.
No, that was not all.
Over the long years, the Golden Mark had become inseparable from Lu Yao, and it was a part of her life.
The two could not be separated at all.
As such, after the Golden Mark was completely taken away, Lu Yao's life would reach its limit.
When that time came, she would die.
Die?
At this moment, this thought flashed through Lu Yao's mind, but she strangely did not feel any fear.
She had thought about death before.
She had felt a great deal of fear and confusion about it.
However, now that she was about to face it, she found that she did not feel much fear.
She only felt a faint sense of regret.
"After I die, Mom, Dad, and Big Brother will be very sad …"
Under the pressure of a powerful force, as time slowly passed, Lu Yao's mind gradually became blurry, and her mind was becoming more and more unclear.
If she really died here, putting aside how others would feel, her parents and Big Brother would be very sad, right?
There was also Yezi.
She had spent so much effort on her, hoping that she could restore the Golden King's glory in the future.
However, looking at the situation now, it seemed that everything had been in vain.
She had let down Yezi, as well as everyone else's expectations, and she was going to die here.
What a pity …
Silently, thoughts flashed through her mind.
As time passed, her life would eventually come to an end.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
A faint golden light appeared and spread out from not far away.
In that instant, the Golden Mark in Lu Yao's body was connected, forming a mysterious change.
A massive power bloomed in that instant, blocking the Scarlet Knight's movements.
Even though it was only for an instant, it was enough.
A figure passed by in the distance and took advantage of this gap to carry Lu Yao away, forcibly freeing her from her previous dangerous state.
After leaving her previous state, Lu Yao's mind gradually began to recover.
Before her eyes, her vision gradually became clear.
A young girl's face appeared in front of her eyes. She looked very cute and gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Yezi?"
Looking at Yezi's face, Lu Yao immediately came to her senses.
"Your Majesty, it's not time to give up yet!"
After forcibly carrying Lu Yao away, Yezi gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Yao as she said, "We still have a chance!"
Bang!
Not far away, a clear sound rang out.
Not far away, the Scarlet Knight's figure once again appeared in front of the two of them.
"You're quite loyal …"
Standing there, the Scarlet Knight looked at Yezi, who had hurriedly rushed over and saved Lu Yao at the critical moment. She was not too surprised and only shook her head, "It's a pity that you're just throwing your life away."
Yezi's strength was indeed much stronger than Lu Yao's.
By now, she had recovered most of her strength and could release Stage 4 power for a short time.
However, it was a pity.
To others, Stage 4 power was already quite good, and to a certain extent, one could even be considered a powerful expert.
However, to the Scarlet Knight, let alone Stage 4, even Stage 5 would be nothing more than throwing their lives away.
In this world, the Scarlet Knight represented the pinnacle of powerhouses.
In front of such a powerhouse, a mere Fourth Order would only be sending themselves to their deaths even if they came.
As such, the Scarlet Knight did not notice Yezi's arrival.
"Count me in as well."
Not far away, a voice once again sounded out. It sounded quite old and had a strange tone to it.
The Scarlet Knight wasn't surprised. She just turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
Over there, the figure of an old man appeared, standing there just like that.
This was an extremely old man. He looked very, very old. His wrinkled face was filled with bitterness. At this moment, he was wearing a decent suit as he stood there.
It was none other than Phillip.
Standing on the spot, the Scarlet Knight revealed an interested expression as she watched Phillip appear. "I've heard that among the followers of the Gold King, there's a person named Phillip who has submitted."
"I thought that one of you stubborn old fogeys had finally come to your senses.
But now, it seems that's not the case. "
She spoke with interest. It seemed that she had understood everything.
Phillil's actions and posture at this moment had clearly displayed his attitude.
His allegiance was not sincere, but merely a disguise, probably to better assist the Gold King.
At this moment, he finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Facing this, the Scarlet Knight was not discouraged, nor did she have any unnecessary emotions.
There was no lack of smart people in this world.
Within the Roundtable, some people had long guessed the true purpose of Phillip's allegiance and had developed doubts about him.
It was just that in the past, Phillip had performed well and spared no effort in hunting down the Golden King, so they had temporarily let go of their doubts.
But in reality, the seeds of doubt had always been there.
Hence, Phillip's betrayal at this moment was only a matter of course.
"Traitor!"
Not far away, a shout was heard.
Avril walked out from a corner with a group of people from the Roundtable. She looked at Phillip in front of her with a face full of anger. "You killed Olly?"
Avril and the others hadn't been idling around. In order to avoid any accidents, they had been lingering nearby, ready to provide support at any time.
Just now, when the Scarlet Knight and Lu Yao were fighting alone, they didn't intervene, nor could they intervene in a battle of that level.
But now, after Ye and Phillip appeared one after another, they immediately rushed over.
After all, Lu Yao was the Golden King, but if the Scarlet Knight had to personally deal with the followers of the Golden King, what was the use of subordinates like them?
Hence, in order to show their value, they immediately ran over.
Avril stood in the same place and looked at Phillip in front of her with a face full of anger.
But in the face of her anger, Phillip didn't show it at all.
In the past, Avril and the others' impression of Phillip was that he always had his head lowered and looked very humble and respectful.
Hence, after a long time, no one took him seriously.
But now, the result was a little different.
Standing alone in the same place, Phillip was dressed in formal clothes and looked very spirited.
His body was a little thin, and he was already very old, but at this moment, he still stood ramrod straight like a tower and would never lower his head.
When Avril and the others looked at him, a powerful aura spread out and rippled in all directions.
The powerful True Spiritual Force swept in all directions.
Standing on the spot, Avril's expression quickly froze and then changed to one of disbelief.
"No … Impossible!"
She looked at Phillip, who was standing there with a faint smile on his face. Disbelief was written all over her face. "Your strength!"
At this moment, Phillip had already taken off all his disguises.
All the aura on his body spread out, no longer concealing it at all.
His aura was clearly at Rank 5.
Moreover, even within the Fifth Order, he was considered an absolute powerhouse.
At the very least, he was much stronger than Avril, who was at Rank 5.
Phillip's strength was even greater than Avril's.
In fact, he was much more powerful.
Thinking back to how humble and respectful Phillip had been in the past, almost wanting to kneel down in front of her to express his loyalty, Avril could not help but turn pale. At this moment, she felt like she was being mocked.
"So that's how it is …"
By the side, the Scarlet Knight was still standing there, looking at Phillip as she said with interest, "There must be a serious problem with your body. Otherwise, you would not be far from the Star level.
"Such an expert, in order to be loyal to the Gold King, you could disguise yourself and even kneel to some ants who are far inferior to you and endure such humiliation?
"From this point of view, your loyalty to the Gold King is truly moving."
The Scarlet Knight stood on the spot and spoke calmly.
She did not care about how Avril and the others felt, and she looked at Lu Yao and the others with interest as she said, "However, this is not enough.
"Let alone you now, even if you stood in front of me at your peak, you would not be able to block a few of my moves.
"In the current situation, what do you plan to do?"
She asked softly, feeling quite curious.
Hearing the Scarlet Knight's words, Phillip gave a decent smile, "Of course I'm not a match for you.
It's just that compared to this old man, your current state is not very good either.
"So what if I am?"
The Scarlet Knight did not comment on Phillip's words and only said calmly, "It's enough to take you guys down."
The Scarlet Knight wasn't here in her main body, just a clone.
Even though the Scarlet Knight's clone was powerful, it was not as terrifying as her main body.
Before this, the Scarlet Knight had fought with Lu Yao for a long time.
Even though Lu Yao's combat power was weak, the power of the Golden Mark was real.
With the terrifying power of the Golden Mark, even the Scarlet Knight would find it very difficult to deal with it as a clone.
If it was not for the fact that Lu Yao, the controller, was very weak in terms of combat will and other aspects, the final outcome of this battle would not be known.
Even if the Scarlet Knight won in the end, she might not be in a good state and had most likely used up a lot of power.
"Yes."
Standing on the spot, Philip calmly nodded and said, "Even so, I am not a match for you."
"But if I were to risk my life, it should not be a problem to stall for some time."
"That's not bad."
The Scarlet Knight nodded and did not deny Phillip's words.
No matter what, Phillip was a powerhouse who was close to the Star rank. Even though his strength had declined, he could not be regarded as an ordinary Rank-5.
In this world, the Star rank was already Rank-6.
Even though the Five Knights were high and mighty, they had only reached the pinnacle of this level. They had not completely broken away from this level.
Once Phillip went all out, with the Scarlet Knight's current power, it would not be difficult to take him down, but it would take a lot of time.
This was quite normal.
This was most likely Phillip's plan.
"It's a pity …"
Standing there, the Scarlet Knight sighed and her aura started to slowly change.
An indescribable power appeared on her body.
The terrifying injuries caused by the previous battle surfaced at this moment. Then, under the nourishment of a brand new power, they slowly healed, and just like that, they recovered.
The Scarlet Knight's power once again returned to its previous state, and she did not seem to have used up much.
"This … How is this possible …"
Sensing the Scarlet Knight's power, Phillip and the others' expressions fell.
They could sense that the Scarlet Knight's power had reached a terrifying level.
This terrifying and powerful aura was even more terrifying and powerful than when she had fought with Lu Yao.
But how was this possible?
"You didn't use your full strength just now?"
Standing on the spot, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Phillip's mind. He then raised his head and spoke subconsciously.
"Your reaction wasn't bad."
The Scarlet Knight looked up at him, then shook her head, "I just deliberately used the same power as the Golden King to fight her."
"That doesn't mean that was my full strength."
Boom!
As her cold voice sounded out, a storm started to sweep out.
It was as if there was a furious dragon roaring as it rushed into the sky and swept through the entire star.
At this moment, the crimson sky enveloped everything, obscuring the vision of the entire planet.
It covered the sky and covered the sun!
