In the pitch-black environment, Jing Qiu had a very unique feeling.
First, under the pressure of the God's Envoy, she had given up and was prepared to face death! But now, the ordinary looking Dongbo Xue Ying had stepped out and revealed his strength, killing the God's Envoy in a head-on confrontation! At this time, Lu Huai Ru had chosen to perish together with Bai Rong. She had been used as a shield by Bai Rong, and once again, she had fallen into a situation of certain death.
She had been saved once again.
In the darkness, under the cover of countless rocks, Jing Qiu's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
"Peng!" A loud sound rang out, as Dongbo Xue Ying exerted strength with a single arm, causing the countless rocks on top of the shield to fly up into the air.
"Let's go."
Dongbo Xue Ying immediately hugged Jing Qiu's waist with one hand and leapt into the air. At the same time, he swung his shield at lightning speed, slapping out tens of times in an instant, knocking away all the rocks that had fallen onto the ground.
Hugging the waist of a beautiful female Mage with one hand, it looked very beautiful, but in truth, because Jing Qiu's body was protected by the Ice Armor, the feeling of hugging her was very ordinary. It was very hard and cold, and not comfortable at all.
"Dong." Landing on a pile of rocks, Dongbo Xue Ying put Jing Qiu down.
"Be careful. The entire hall might have some boulders falling at any time. It might even collapse a second time. Don't remove your Ice Armor, no matter what." As Xue Ying spoke, he swept his gaze across his surroundings. Many places around him had completely collapsed. Even some of the pillars and walls of the first and second level of the inner castle had fallen, supporting some of the stone slabs above.
Some of the pillars and walls were tilted, while others had already collapsed. Occasionally, there would be rocks falling down.
These falling rocks were not a threat to the stronger Knights, but to the weaker Mages, it was a fatal threat. Hence, the protective spell had to be maintained at all times.
"En." Jing Qiu nodded her head. "You …"
"Sou." Dongbo Xue Ying, on the other hand, had already flown away. When he was a distance away, he swiftly flicked his spear, sending rocks flying everywhere. Clearly, he was going to search for the corpses.
But this kind of explosion, even the Oracle's body was completely shattered. After all, the power of this explosion was enough to kill a Silver Moon Knight. In the absence of Battle Qi, whether it was Tang Xiong, the Oracle, or Lu Huai Ru, their bodies were completely shattered. Similarly, Bai Rong's corpse was no longer intact.
"Their belongings have been found. Let's go." Dongbo Xue Ying walked to Jing Qiu's side.
"Alright." Yu Jing Qiu nodded and walked out with Dongbo Xue Ying. The walls of the hall had been destroyed, and even the upper floors had collapsed. Naturally, they were able to walk out of the hall easily.
Even if there was no path, a Legend ranker like Dongbo Xue Ying would be able to carve out a path for himself.
"Dongbo Xue Ying, thank you." Jing Qiu's voice was filled with gratitude. "Thank you for saving my life. If not for you, I would have died."
In that kind of situation, even if Dongbo Xue Ying did not save her, it would still be normal.
"It's nothing much. To me, it's just a small matter. But to you, it's a matter of life and death." Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes were filled with a cold glint. "I just did not expect that Bai Rong to be so shameless."
A knight using a sorcerer as a shield?
Dongbo Xue Ying could be said to have seen it for himself.
"I also did not expect that he would do such a thing." Jing Qiu's hatred towards Bai Rong had also dissipated. After all, he was already dead. "Dongbo Xue Ying, don't worry. I will not say anything about Bai Rong's matter. I will not say anything about what happened inside."
Jing Qiu felt that Bai Rong had been hiding his strength all along, only revealing it at the most crucial moment. Since that was the case, there was no need for her to reveal it.
Dongbo Xue Ying smiled as he looked at her.
"Ah, your leg is bleeding." Jing Qiu suddenly noticed that Dongbo Xue Ying's leg was covered in blood. It was the wound from the explosion.
"Haha, it has stopped bleeding long ago. The blood has already dried up. It's just a small wound." Dongbo Xue Ying said. As his body grew stronger, his body's recovery rate also increased. The flesh wound had indeed completely healed. Not even a scar could be seen on his skin.
The two of them walked side by side.
The man was dressed in black, while the woman was dressed in a green robe. Both of their bodies were wrapped in ice armor.
"It's Liang Yong." After walking for a while, they finally saw Liang Yong's corpse. The entire inner castle was about one to two miles in size. The explosion had only destroyed the underground palace. The first and second floors had collapsed, but the entire inner castle was still intact. At the very least, the corridor that Liang Yong was in was still mostly intact.
"He can be considered to have left behind an intact corpse." Xue Ying said.
… …
Very quickly, the two of them walked out of the inner castle. The Lu Clan's castle was completely sealed in ice. The servants and soldiers had long since hidden themselves far away.
Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu looked up at the sky. Although the sky was completely dark, Dongbo Xue Ying's terrifying eyesight allowed him to clearly see the flying ship a few hundred meters above the ground.
"Come down." Dongbo Xue Ying shouted loudly, his voice reverberating in the silent night sky.
Hu — —
The silver flying ship that was in charge of monitoring the situation quickly descended, landing right in front of Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu.
"Just the two of you?" Two members of the Dragon Mountain Manor walked out. "Where are the rest? Where's Si Bai Rong?"
"They're all dead." Dongbo Xue Ying said as he took out three storage treasures. "This armband is Liang Yong's, this armguard is Si Bai Rong's, and this ring is Tang Xiong's. Please give them to their families!"
"They're all dead? What happened? They're all dead? " The two members of the Dragon Mountain Manor were shocked. One of the knights received the three storage treasures. Because there were quite a number of people who died in the Dragon Mountain Manor's missions, the treasures would usually be sent to their respective families. This was a rule that had been established for many years. Of course, it was hard to say if the treasures left behind would be taken by their companions.
The knight glanced at Dongbo Xue Ying, but did not say anything.
Even if they took some gold notes or other treasures, there was no evidence!
In reality — —
Dongbo Xue Ying did not take any of the three storage treasures. For example, Liang Yong's armband, Dongbo Xue Ying had found it in Si Bai Rong's storage treasure! If not for Dongbo Xue Ying, Liang Yong's treasures would have been stolen by Si Bai Rong!
"And here I thought Si Bai Rong would have many treasures, but he's also very poor." Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself. Because he had refined the treasures, he knew that Si Bai Rong's wealth was not even comparable to Tang Xiong's! Obviously, the 'Si Clan' had a very strict control over their wealth. This kind of hedonistic young master who was not willing to take risks would only have so little money.
Although he usually dressed extravagantly, his pockets were very empty. He could not be compared to someone like Tang Xiong, who had relied on his own strength to rise to power.
Of course, the treasures of the three of them added up could not even compare to the God's Envoy!
"This God's Envoy is really rich." Dongbo Xue Ying exclaimed as he recalled.
How could he know the process of this God's Envoy's rise to power? He had even plotted the death of a Legend ranker, which was why he had two storage rings with such a large space.
"I, Dongbo Xue Ying, was short on gold coins previously. But now, I'm afraid I'm one of the top ten richest people in the entire Azure River County." Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself. "I'm afraid that only some other Legend rankers can compare to me. En en, when I go back, I'll have to buy some life-saving magic equipment for my little brother. I still have some powerful magic scrolls with me."
Magic scrolls could instantly activate the power of heaven and earth to release a powerful spell. However, it required a mage to guide it. Therefore, Knights were unable to use magic scrolls.
Of course … in front of a Legend ranker, a Legend ranker who was one with the world and could control the power of heaven and earth. Magic scrolls would not be able to guide even a trace of the power of heaven and earth.
To be able to threaten a Legend ranker, one had to either be a Legend ranker or a Transcendent!
"I'll also strengthen my Snowrock Castle. En, I'll also give that girl You Yue a good magic staff." For so many years, Dongbo Xue Ying had never been this rich. He had obtained all the treasures of a Demonic Emissary who had lived for so many years. He was even richer than some ordinary Legend ranker clans.
"It was Lu Huai Ru who caused the entire underground hall to explode. He wanted to perish together with us. You'll know once you go and take a look." Jing Qiu did not elaborate.
"The people from Qu Tai City's Dragon Mountain Manor will soon take over this place. We will now send the two of you back to the County City."
"Alright."
Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu both nodded and boarded the flying boat.
On the flying boat, Jing Qiu removed her ice armor. Her eyes were filled with vigor as she looked at Dongbo Xue Ying who was sitting cross-legged beside her, "Dongbo Xue Ying, when we reach the County City, are you preparing to return?"
"Yes." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
"Where do you live in Azure River County?" Jing Qiu asked curiously.
"Water Rites Town's Snow Eagle Territory. I welcome Mage Jing Qiu to my small territory at any time." Dongbo Xue Ying said with a smile.
"Water Rites Town?"
Jing Qiu nodded lightly.
Outside the flying boat, the night sky was pitch black. Tonight, there was not even a trace of moonlight. The flying boat flew at high speed, and the sound of the wind could be faintly heard. Jing Qiu's heart was in turmoil. She gradually closed her eyes and began to calm down. Today's events would never be forgotten by her.
