Smiling Face smiled, as if he wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere. However, Fang Xingjian had already made his move.
Strong gales blew, and waves of scorching air currents came from the air. There seemed to be a faint charred smell from the high temperature.
The lady in plaits had already activated her force field at almost the instant the strong gales blew. Simultaneously, she retreated a distance of 100 meters.
However, she had just stabilized herself when she saw Fang Xingjian swinging his hand. He was holding onto one of her braids. Her eyes opened wide. She had not been able to see how Fang Xingjian had made his move earlier.
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Since I'm able to take your hair, I'm only able to strike your head once." Throwing a glance at the lady in plaits, he continued, "I don't need a second move to kill someone of your level."
"Lad …" An intense killing intent flashed on the lady in plaits' face. She had never been humiliated like this before. "It's true that I've underestimated you earlier. However, I'm usually only at one-third of my true battle prowess. Do you dare to fight against me at full power?"
Fang Xingjian looked at her coldly and opened up his palm. A stone spike shot out from the ground under his feet, turning into a stone sword. Then, with the reinforcement of his' Swordless Path 'specialty, it became a level 19 Inferior Divine Weapon.
Although he had already combined the Thunderbolt Sword Technique, Mountain Shifting Sword, Aquatic Sword Formation, and Lightless Sword into the Prodigious Demolition Sword, the condensed demolition sword light was merely the amalgamation of the four powers of wind, earth, water, and fire. Fang Xingjian could still use the powers from each of them individually.
Seeing that the two of them were in a state of mutual hostility, Smiling Face scratched his head and said, "Alright, alright. We're here to deal with the Terrene Shrine. Why is there an internal strife before we've even met the people from the Terrene Shrine? "Give me some face. Let's complete the mission happily and get our respective rewards. Isn't that good?"
As a level 26 Conferred Knight, Smiling Face could be said to be the strongest out of the four people present. Although the lady in plaits was infuriated by Fang Xingjian's arrogance, she did not wish to offend Smiling Face. She merely let out a cold laugh and said, "Some people become so arrogant that they don't know how high the heavens are and how vast the earth is just because they are fast. They don't know that in this world, being a little faster doesn't make one invincible."
"Alright, alright. Don't talk so much." Smiling Face clapped his hands, gathering everyone's attention. Then he said, "Based on our informants' information, one of the Terrene Shrine's strongholds is over 30 kilometers ahead. They have at least two second transition experts. Therefore, they sent the four of us over to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "However, we still have to be careful. The Terrene Shrine has second transition jobs that have been secretly passed down. Their abilities might not be comparable to ours, but most of them are sinister and mysterious. Their vitality is extremely strong. Everyone, please don't be careless and fail miserably."
Smiling Face reminded them once again. However, he realized that other than Fang Xingjian, Plaits and Old Man had already headed forward. Smiling Face could not help but let out a helpless cry and laugh.
The four Conferred Knights advanced at high speed, running toward the Terrene Shrine's stronghold. With their leg strength and speed, a mere 30 kilometers was far too short. However, in order not to alert the enemy, they slowed down during the last five kilometers. They were like ghosts, darting through the forests and mountain rocks, heading toward the stronghold.
It was a cave located halfway up the mountain. Standing at the entrance, Smiling Face looked at the bottomless cave and said, "This is the place. There should only be one exit in the entire cave. In order to prevent any of them from escaping, let's leave one person here to guard the exit."
Fang Xingjian looked at the structure of the mountain and thought that if it was not for the fact that they wanted to obtain a lot of resources from the Terrene Shrine, such as the Sun Stone that he wanted, and if they only wanted to kill them, they would be able to destroy the mountain and kill most of the followers.
Old Man said, "Then I'll stay behind. I'm getting old and don't like fighting and killing anymore."
Smiling Face chuckled and said, "Then we'll have to trouble Senior to stay behind. Other than us, please kill everyone else who dashes out from the cave."
Therefore, Old Man was left behind to guard the cave entrance while Fang Xingjian and the other two walked slowly into the cave.
…
Several kilometers underground, the entire stone wall was covered in layers of gray flesh and blood. These pieces of flesh and blood kept on twitching as if they were alive.
In the center of the flesh and blood, layers of gray flesh and blood formed a huge blood throne. The figure on the throne slowly knocked on the armrest formed from flesh and blood and said, "Are the Empire's Conferred Knights here?"
Before him, there was a flower formed from flesh and blood, and the voices of Smiling Face, Old Man, and the others kept on ringing out.
"One level 26 Conferred Knight, two level 25, and one level 24. Are you sure that there are no more reinforcements?"
Under the throne, a man's face kept on trembling, and his eyes were filled with terror. What was even more terrifying was that everything below his head had completely disappeared. There were only a few tentacles of flesh and blood connected to his neck, supporting his head up and facing the shadow on the throne.
His mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something soundless.
"Kill … me …
"Kill … me!"
Under the throne, three huge figures half-knelt there, exuding a terrifying pressure.
What was even more astonishing was their appearances. All of them looked like lions, tigers, wild wolves, black bears, and other animals that were pieced together. They looked like synthetic animals or animal zombies.
One of the lion-headed monsters lifted its head, looked at the shadow on the throne, and said, "Lord Bishop, do you need us to go and deal with them now?"
The figure on the throne let out a hmm and said, "Number 1, deal with the level 26 Knight. Number 9, deal with that woman. Number 13, deal with the old man outside."
The one known as Number 1 was a lion-headed monster, while Number 9 was covered in scales and had five snake heads on his head. Number 13 was the tallest among the three, covered in dense fur and spikes. His face, which was a combination of a wild boar and a black bear, was filled with brutality and ruthlessness.
Hearing that, Number 9 stuck out his tongue a few times and asked, "Don't we need to deal with the level 24 brat?"
"No matter how much they cultivate, those below level 25 will still have mortal bodies. As long as we deal with the three Conferred Knights, we'll be able to kill the level 24 brat at any time. On the contrary, if we waste our energy on dealing with the small fries, resulting in us not being able to win against the other three Conferred Knights, it would be a mistake."
The figure on the throne said slowly, "Go, my Gray Knights. Don't disappoint me."
"Yes."
Swoosh swoosh swoosh sounds rang out, and the three Gray Knights disappeared with a flash.
However, in the quiet hall of flesh and blood, laughter rang out.
"Hehehehehe. You've done well, lad. To think that you have three successful products. "
The figure on the throne opened his eyes abruptly and discovered that a slender lady with green hair and eyes had suddenly appeared before him. She was floating before him.
