"I can't give him a chance. I need Old Liang to follow me at all times." Si Bai Rong was really worried that this brat called Dong Bo Xue Ying would plot against him during the mission. "I'll let this brat off the hook for now. Once the mission is over, hmph, let's see how I'll deal with him."
A 22-year-old Silver Moon Knight?
A Silver Moon Knight was only one step away from becoming a Legend ranker. However, this step was like a chasm between heaven and earth.
From an ordinary knight to a Silver Moon Knight, one had to rely on one's talent and some powerful battle qi techniques to break through. For example, Si Bai Rong was able to become a Silver Moon Knight with the help of his family. However, he was stuck at the Silver Moon Knight rank!
A Silver Moon Knight had a very high requirement for one's soul. One had to reach the realm of 'One with the Heavens' and then use the power of heaven and earth to break through.
'One with the Heavens'?
Si Bai Rong had been a Silver Moon Knight for many years. Tang Xiong and Liang Yong had also been Silver Moon Knights for many years. However, they were completely clueless about 'One with the Heavens'.
…
Mages were different.
Knights relied on their bodies, but mages valued wisdom more!
Mages needed to study the Heavens and Earth, dissect nature, and study many rules in order to master certain spells. Therefore, the more powerful a mage was, the more intelligent they would be. Generally speaking, those who could become Silver Moon Mages were all extraordinarily intelligent. That was why Jing Qiu was so stunning. She was so talented at such a young age. If she continued to study the heavens and earth, there was a high possibility that she would reach the realm of 'One with the Heavens' in the next hundred years of her life.
Mages relied on research to master 'One with the Heavens'.
However, it was difficult for a knight to master 'One with the Heavens'. Many knights were uneducated and did not know how to master 'One with the Heavens'. Therefore, although Dongbo Xue Ying was considered a 22-year-old Silver Moon Knight, he was not as important as Jing Qiu. Most people believed that … Xue Ying had relied on his body's innate talent to cultivate all the way to the Silver Moon rank in one go.
Dongbo Xue Ying's spear technique had reached the level of a master. For the past six years, he had been cultivating in the bamboo house at the back of the mountain, comprehending the nature of heaven and earth. However, he had not reached the realm of 'One with the Heavens' yet.
However, his strong body gave him the strength of a peak Legend ranker! Once his Power Bloodline was activated, his strength would double.
Even amongst the Legend rankers, he was considered one of the top few.
"A lucky brat dares to challenge me? He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "Si Bai Rong gritted his teeth and walked back to his cabin.
"Jing Qiu." Si Bai Rong walked over to Jing Qiu.
"What's the matter?" Jing Qiu, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes.
"When we attack the Lu Clan's castle, we have to be careful, especially that Dongbo Xue Ying. That brat is too young and immature. I'm worried that he will secretly sabotage our plans." Si Bai Rong lowered his voice and said, "When the time comes, just follow me and Old Liang. We will definitely protect you."
"Why would he do that?" Jing Qiu was puzzled.
"You just need to be careful." Si Bai Rong did not explain further and walked away.
Jing Qiu frowned. She looked at Si Bai Rong and then at the black-robed youth, Dongbo Xue Ying, who was also sitting cross-legged on the other side. She muttered to herself, "Both of them went to the deck earlier. Could it be that they had a conflict? That Dongbo Xue Ying does not seem like a reckless person. En, I hope that there won't be any accidents during this mission. "
She was also a little worried.
"Phew …"
Dongbo Xue Ying was sitting cross-legged on the deck. His heartbeat was gradually slowing down, and so was his breathing. However, his perception of the world around him was getting clearer and clearer. He could sense the auras around him. Jing Qiu's, Tang Xiong's, Si Bai Rong's, Liang Yong's, and the two who were driving the airship.
His heart was as calm as water, as calm as a mirror, reflecting the world around him.
… …
The sky gradually darkened.
The silver-white airship continued to fly through the clouds.
"We're here." Dongbo Xue Ying's breathing gradually returned to normal. His blood flow also returned to normal. He looked outside and sensed that the speed of the airship was obviously decreasing.
"Everyone, we can prepare to disembark. We will soon reach the Lu family's castle." The Dragon Mountain Manor member said.
"We're almost there?"
"The battle is about to start."
Everyone stood up. They were about to face a big battle, but their moods were different.
Si Bai Rong, this was the first time he had accepted such a dangerous mission. Therefore, he had specially brought along a silver-moon knight to protect him. He was nervous and uneasy, and he wanted to show off his strength in front of Jing Qiu.
Tang Xiong, on the other hand, was very calm. He was an old man who had lived for more than 160 years. He had experienced all kinds of storms and waves.
Liang Yong was cautious because he had to protect Si Bai Rong.
This was the first time Jing Qiu had accepted a mission. Although she was nervous, her magician nature allowed her to face everything calmly.
Dongbo Xue Ying? As a Legend ranker, he was not afraid. He was just curious about the Lu family's castle.
"Everyone."
Jing Qiu and the other four walked to the deck and looked down. They could see the majestic castle below. At this moment, the flying boat was only 300 meters away from the castle. However, due to the fog on the surface of the flying boat, the people below could not see the boat at all.
"Later, I will cast a spell to envelop everyone. We will directly jump down and quietly sneak into the Lu family's castle." Jing Qiu said, "If we can quietly sneak in and kill Lu Huai Ru, that would be the best."
"Okay, we will listen to Jing Qiu." Si Bai Rong was the first to agree.
"It is our luck to have a silver-moon magician with us." Tang Xiong laughed.
"Clang." Dongbo Xue Ying pulled out the two halves of the spear from the weapon box on his back and began to connect the two halves of the Feixue Godly Spear.
Si Bai Rong saw this and curled his lips. With a flip of his hand, a two-handed greatsword appeared in his hand.
Everyone was ready to fight at any time.
"Hu ~ ~ ~" Jing Qiu, who was wearing a green robe, held a staff in her hand. Suddenly, a whirlwind swept everyone up.
"Let's go down." Jing Qiu said.
"Let's go."
Hu, hu, hu …
The five of them jumped down from the airship at the same time. In fact, with their strength, any one of them could easily jump down from a height of more than three hundred meters. The main purpose of the whirlwind was to adjust the landing point and conceal them.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked down. As they landed, the whirlwind controlled them to fly towards the roof of the inner castle of the Lu family's castle. The whole inner castle was like a strange octagonal monster lying on the roof. At the same time, a strong wind blew from below. The wind was whistling, blowing away the leaves and grass, making it difficult for some of the soldiers to open their eyes.
Sou, sou, sou, sou, sou.
With the help of the whirlwind, the five of them quietly landed on the roof.
"Let's go in." Si Bai Rong held his greatsword with both hands, full of fighting spirit.
"Weng ~"
The entire inner castle's roof was very big. At this moment, a dazzling red light shone from it. Under the light, Dongbo Xue Ying and the other four had nowhere to hide.
"Assassins!" A cold voice came from the inner castle, resounding through every corner of the castle. "They are on the roof, kill them!"
"Assassins!"
"They are on the roof, kill them!"
There were a large number of patrolling soldiers on the outer castle walls. Some of the patrolling soldiers in the inner castle also immediately discovered the assassins. Immediately, more than two hundred star breaking crossbows were aimed at them. The Lu family had a Meteor level master who was proficient in alchemy and four Meteor level knights. With such strength, naturally, the soldiers in the inner castle were also very good.
"We have been discovered." Tang Xiong said.
"Hmph, so what if we have been discovered? At most, we will just kill them all." Si Bai Rong sneered.
"This time, we are targeting the Lu family. If you want to stop us, you will only be courting death." Jing Qiu, who was holding her staff, said. Her voice was cold and pleasant to the ears, resounding through every corner of the castle. At the same time, along with her voice, a large amount of frost appeared in the surrounding area, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop sharply.
A thick layer of frost condensed on the ground, and some of the soil was completely frozen. The entire Lu family's castle had turned into a huge ice castle. All the soldiers were covered in frost and were shivering.
"Cold, so cold." Some of the soldiers directly shivered and fell to the ground.
"Withdraw from the Frost Domain and you will live. Otherwise, you will only freeze to death." Jing Qiu said. She still had a kind heart for these weak soldiers.
"Hu."
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the surrounding frost and felt the extremely cold temperature. He was amazed. Jing Qiu was indeed an expert in the ice element. The range of the Frost Domain was just enough to cover the entire castle. The extremely cold temperature was not to the point where it could instantly freeze people to death. This kind of control was really amazing.
Of course, if people were to be frozen for a long time, they would still die.
"Quickly go, quickly go." Some of the stronger soldiers immediately pulled some of the weaker soldiers and fled. Some of the servants in the castle also fled. The two to three thousand soldiers were unable to resist the Frost Domain and could only flee. In such a cold environment, they were shivering from the cold. Their fingers were numb and they couldn't even control the Star Shattering Crossbows.
"Let's go." Jing Qiu held her staff, while Dongbo Xue Ying and the other three jumped down from the roof.
Since they could not sneak in quietly, they could only attack directly.
… …
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots. Completely useless." Seeing the soldiers outside flee, Lu Huai Ru coldly snorted and quickly ran down the corridor, continuously rushing towards the secret area of the inner castle. "It seems that I will have to rely on myself and a few protectors. It's fine if you don't come in, but if you dare to enter the inner castle that I built, then you will die."
Lu Huai Ru was very confident.
His traps and arrays … even three to five Silver Moon Knights would die if they came! Not to mention that there was a great Lord Divine Envoy living here, which made him very confident.
