"Let's rest here tonight," Xuanyue said as she pointed at a forest not far away. After half a day's journey, the four of them had only covered less than a hundred kilometers.
Oliveira complained, "We're too slow, there's still some distance before we reach the next city. It's all his fault for slowing us down. "She looked at Kino with dissatisfaction as she spoke.
Kino was startled. "How can you blame me? I'm not good at speed anyway. What's the rush? It's nothing. "
Oliveira said, "Didn't you see that the Yakin people are after us? If we don't leave their territory quickly, we might be intercepted again. You're so weak, nobody will be distracted to protect you. "
Kino was displeased. "Aren't we wizards? Why are the Yakin people making things difficult for us? Besides, I don't need anyone to protect me. "
Oliveira said angrily, "You won't understand even if I explain. Anyway, they're hostile. You don't need protection? I wonder who was the one hiding behind Brother Xuan Ri back in Andis City. "
Dumb said, "Alright, don't make things difficult for Kino. Let's sleep in the forest and leave tomorrow morning." The four of them walked into the forest and found a relatively flat area to stop.
Kino said, "What are we going to eat if we sleep in the forest? I'm hungry. "
Dumb was startled. He scratched his head and said, "That's right! There's nothing to eat here. Brother Xu Anri, do you still have any Phoenix Blood left? "
Xuanyue shook her head. "I don't have any left. Looks like we'll have to starve tonight. "
Oliveira chuckled and said, "How could that be? I brought some dry rations here. "As she spoke, she summoned her interspatial bag and took out a cloth bag.
Dumby smiled and said, "You're the most thorough."
Oliveira opened the cloth bag. Inside was a stack of flatbread. There was also some cured meat. He said to Kino, "I'll leave the task of starting a fire to you. Be careful, don't burn the forest."
Kino wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "It's so hot right now, what's the point of starting a fire?"
Oliveira said, "Although it's a little hot, it's still better than being bitten by mosquitoes. Fire is very useful. "
Xuanyue smiled and said, "Yeah! Who knows what's here. Big Brother, go and get some firewood. "
"Alright." Dumb agreed and floated up. The blue-green Transformative Blade flickered with a dazzling light as it floated out. The surrounding trees were sliced by the sharp blades, and a large number of branches fell off. The comfortable feeling of being able to control the blades made Dumb realize that he seemed to be more adept at using energy.
Xuanyue and the other two collected the fallen branches, and after a while, they had accumulated a pile. "Big Brother, that's enough."
"Oh," Dumb floated down next to Xuanyue and said with a smile, "Let's see what Big Brother Kino is capable of."
Kino puffed up his chest and said, "No problem. Watch me. "After chanting a few incantations, a purple flame floated out.
"Don't …" Before Dumb could finish his sentence, the dried branches that were piled up on the ground had already turned into ashes. How could these ordinary firewood withstand the high temperature of the purple flame?
Kino said with a bitter face, "I, I didn't do it on purpose."
Dumb patted his shoulder and said, "It's alright, I'll do it." He chopped down the branches again and had Xuanyue and the other two gather them together. Then, he cast a simple flame spell. Unexpectedly, the flame turned purple like Kino's. Dumb was overjoyed. He knew that this was the result of his spiritual power greatly increasing. He flicked a spark and ignited the bonfire.
Night gradually fell. The four of them sat around the bonfire and ate the rations that Oliveira brought. Kino looked around the trees. This was the first time he left Lardas, so he was very curious about everything. Oliveira seemed to be at odds with him and would often mock him.
Just as the four of them were about to rest, Dumb's expression suddenly changed. He said, "Listen, there seems to be the sound of horse hooves."
Xuanyue's expression changed. She said, "Could it be that the Yakin people still haven't given up? They really don't know their place. Big Brother, don't go easy on them this time. "
Dumb sighed and said, "They should be coming for us. Sigh … It's actually all a misunderstanding. There's no deep hatred between us. How can I kill them? Let's go. It's better to avoid conflict. "
Oliveira said, "If it's just the three of us, we might be able to leave. But with Kino dragging us down, I'm afraid we won't be able to outrun the horse hooves. Instead of being chased away from the back, it's better to solve the problem once and for all. With the lesson from the East City Gate, they must be experts this time. As long as we can beat them back, there shouldn't be any more trouble. "He had full confidence in the four of them. They wouldn't be afraid even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses.
Xuanyue nodded. "Big Brother Villa is right. Let's wait here."
The thunderous sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer. Dumb and the other three got up from the ground. Dumb channeled Vital Qi into his ears and monitored the other party's movements. The sound of horse hooves suddenly split into two. They didn't charge straight at them. Instead, they surrounded them from both sides. Dumb knew that the other party had already discovered their position and were forming an encirclement. He said in a deep voice, "Gather together. Don't split up. This way, it'll be easier for me to take care of you if anything happens."
Xuanyue and the other two took out their staffs. Oliveira said to Kino, "Later, don't hide at the back like before!"
Kino's face turned red. He said angrily, "Who's hiding? Do you think I'm afraid?"
Oliveira chuckled. "That might not be the case."
Xuanyue suddenly said, "Get ready. They're coming." The sound of horse hooves became softer. The sound of footsteps came from all directions. The uniform sound was so clear in the silent forest.
Figures gradually appeared. A large number of heavily armored soldiers surrounded them. They pointed their spears forward. With every step they took, Dumb and the other three could feel the invisible pressure increasing.
The heavily armored soldiers kept moving forward. When they were 30 meters away from Dumb and the other three, they stopped. Thousands of cold eyes stared at Dumb and the other three. They seemed to be waiting for something.
Suddenly, the soldiers in front of them scattered to the sides. In the middle, there was a path that could only allow three people to walk side by side. Tiya came from behind with the Fourth Elder of the Yakin people. Her face was as cold as ice. Her right hand was tightly holding the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Dumb took a few steps forward and shielded Xuanyue and the other two behind him. He said calmly, "Chief, what are you trying to do by stopping us here?"
Tiya stopped ten meters away from Dumb. She raised her left hand and signaled the four elders to stop. She looked coldly at Dumb, who was wearing a fire element magic robe. She said coldly, "I'm here to fulfill my promise at the Golden Jade Building. Didn't you say you could beat me with one move? Very well. This is a suitable place for us to compete. "
Dumb took a deep breath and said, "If I beat you with one move, will you stop bothering us?"
Anger flashed in Tiya's eyes. "No. Unless you step over the bodies of the Yakin people, I won't be able to leave even if you beat me. Destroying the east gate of Andis City is the greatest insult to the Yakin people. I will use your blood to cleanse it. "
Oliveira was shocked. He thought Tiya was only here to vent her anger. He didn't expect her to want to kill them. He couldn't help but say angrily, "Chief Tiya, aren't you afraid of becoming enemies with the Sorcerers Guild?"
Tiya glanced at him and said, "I've blocked the news. No one will know if I kill you here. Besides, do you think I'm afraid of the Sorcerers Guild? The relationship between the Continental Union of Magicians and the Sky Gold Magicians Union is very strained. Even if they join forces, they won't have more than two thousand magicians, while I have two hundred thousand soldiers. I think as long as the Sorcerers Guild is smart, they won't become enemies with me for a few low-level magicians. "
Dumb's eyes narrowed slightly. Tiya's words had completely triggered the murderous intent in his heart. He said calmly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to kill us with just the few of you." Three years ago, tens of thousands of Sunset Empire soldiers couldn't stop him in Che Diliang City. Although the thousands of soldiers in front of him looked very strong, Dumb had full confidence in himself.
Xuanyue said, "Big Brother, don't talk nonsense with her. Isn't she going to kill us? I want to see who will kill who. Oh great God! Please give me the power to use your incomparably pure holy light to protect your loyal believers. " A dazzling golden light burst out of the Angel's Scepter. The light instantly expanded and penetrated into the bodies of the four people.
Dumby felt its entire body tremble. A gentle energy formed a defensive barrier on the surface of its body. Its Essence, Qi, and Spirit had been raised to an unprecedented level.
Tiya looked at Xuanyue in surprise and said, "This is holy light magic. Are you from the Holy Hall? "
At this time, Xuanyue felt that there was no need to hide. She said proudly, "Yes, I'm a priest of the Holy Hall. Why, are you afraid?"
Tiya looked at Xuanyue's face, which was even more handsome under the holy aura. Her heart trembled slightly and she snorted angrily, "Afraid? I've never felt like this in my life. So what if you're a priest? As long as you're all buried here, what can the Holy Hall do to me? " The Grand Elder behind her suddenly stepped forward and whispered, "Patriarch, we shouldn't be enemies with the Holy Hall. Please think twice."
Tiya said indifferently, "I know what I'm doing." She turned her wrist and pointed the shining sword at Dumb. "Come on, let me see how you can beat me in one move."
Dumby's heart suddenly calmed down. To him, Yati posed no threat at all. However, the four old men behind her caused Dumby's heart to palpitate with fear. He took a step forward, and bluish-green light flashed. "Since that's the case, prepare to receive my attack. If I can't beat you in one move, you don't need to do anything. I'll kill myself immediately. " He had used his words to force himself into a dead end. Under the pressure, the golden body within Dumby's body erupted. Surging Dou Qi surged out, and a dazzling white light supported Dumby's body as it slowly floated in the air.
The four elders of the Yakin people were all surprised. They didn't expect that Tiya would provoke such a powerful enemy.
Dumb said indifferently, "I'm Dumb, a third-generation disciple of Tiangang School." After that, he flew directly to Tiya.
Tiya took a deep breath and calmed her uneasiness. Her wrist trembled slightly, and the sword kept changing its angle. She was looking for Dumb's weakness in the blue fighting power.
When Dumb was only five meters away from Tiya, he suddenly stopped. When facing danger, his mind could always be so clear. He said indifferently, "Patriarch Tiya, my grandmaster once said that when a person's martial arts reach a certain level, all other techniques will be useless. When a person's martial skills reached a certain level, all other techniques would be useless. Their powerful dou qi would be the key to victory. Today, I will prove it to you. "The True Qi protecting his body suddenly erupted. With Dumb as the center, a radius of ten meters was completely covered by the white light. Tiya subconsciously took a few steps back, barely withstanding the huge pressure with her blue combat aura.
Dumb was still floating in the air, staring at Tiya with a burning gaze. The Qi of the Rebirth Mantra, which had reached the ninth level, was constantly pressuring the other party.
Tiya only felt that her breathing was getting more and more difficult. She felt as if there were thousands of boulders pounding on her body. Cold sweat dripped down from her forehead. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Dumb was not lying when he said that he would defeat her in one move. The feeling of decadence made her Dou Qi, which was much weaker than Dumb's, even more useless. She kept retreating.
Dumb raised his right hand. The blue-green light gradually formed into a solid energy sword under everyone's gaze. The tip of the sword pointed forward. His body slowly floated forward. As he moved forward, his Dou Qi became more powerful and oppressive to Tiya. Tiya's Dou Qi had already been forced to an inch away from her body. She realized that the opponent's Dou Qi had actually completely bound her. Seeing that the energy sword was getting closer and closer, she struggled with all her might. However, the difference in their skills was too big. How could she break free? The current her had no way of resisting.
Seeing the powerful patriarch in their hearts being forced by the enemy to the point where she could not fight back, the surrounding heavy armored warriors began to get restless. They all slowly approached the center.
Suddenly, Dumb's body flashed strangely in the air. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing face to face with Tiya. The energy sword in his hand rested on Tiya's shoulder. The sharp edge of the sword exuded a faint chill. Tiya's hurried breathing could be heard clearly. Dumb looked at her beautiful eyes, which were filled with fear and anger. He said calmly, "This should be considered a move. You can't possibly be my opponent. I don't want to kill. If you still value the lives of your subordinates, take them and leave immediately. Perhaps you have heard of a Death God in the Sunset Empire. Countless fallen souls were purged by his hands. " Staring at Tiya's somewhat doubtful gaze, Dumb said word by word, "That — — person — — is — — I." After saying this, he could clearly feel Tiya's body trembling. He said in an awe-inspiring tone, "My hands are already stained with blood. I don't mind killing another thousand people. If you still value the lives of your subordinates, take them and leave. " After saying this, Dumb suddenly retreated and returned to the front of Xuanyue and the other two. The battle energy that was binding Tiya had completely disappeared. He fixed his gaze on Tiya, waiting for her decision.
The pressure suddenly disappeared. Tiya's body swayed, and her face became abnormally pale. She struggled to support her body with the long sword in her hand. She suddenly had a thought. This young man in front of her, who looked to be only in his twenties, seemed to be no weaker than her master. How terrifying was his strength! Death God, he was the Death God who had caused the Sunset Empire to fall into panic. She, who had been defeated, no longer had the anger she had before. In her heart, she had already acknowledged Dumb's words. She was the leader of a clan, and she could not treat the lives of thousands of her clansmen as a joke. Just as Tiya was about to give the order to retreat, four tall figures passed by her and blocked her behind them. Tiya was shocked. The people who had suddenly walked out were the four Grand Elders who had accompanied her. When Tiya was still very young, she knew that there were four very powerful people among the Yakin people. These four people were the spiritual leaders of the entire Yakin people. Even her own father, the old leader, did not dare to disrespect them. The Yakin people had faced several crises, including one with the largest tribe conflict with the Yalian people. At that time, the Yakin people were not as powerful as they were now. The largest tribe of the Yalian people had 200,000 elite cavalry. It was not something that the Yakin people could deal with. Just as the war between the two tribes was about to break out, the four Grand Elders suddenly disappeared. When they returned, they brought the surrender letter from the Yalian people. From then on, the Yakin people developed rapidly. No one knew how powerful the four Grand Elders were, but all of the Yakin people regarded them as on par with the gods. As long as they were there, the Yakin people would not be afraid of anything. Today, when Tiya learned that Dumb had destroyed the gate with one arrow, she specially invited the four Grand Elders, who had been cultivating in seclusion for many years, to help out in order to vent her anger and wash away the humiliation of the Yakin people. She had never seen the four Grand Elders in action, but she had full confidence in them. Now that she saw them take the initiative, she was reassured and swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
Xuanyue looked at the four Grand Elders and frowned. "What? Do you want to take turns fighting us? "
The Grand Elder raised his long eyebrows slightly and spoke in a calm, emotionless voice. "We are elders of the Yakin people. We did not want to be enemies with you, but for the honor of the Yakin people, we have to fight. The four of you can come at me together. As long as you can defeat the four of us, the Yakin people will never be enemies with you. "
Looking at the four ordinary elders in front of him, Dumb suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease. But how could he retreat at this moment? He nodded and said, "Alright. I'll try. "
Xuanyue suddenly walked to Dumb's side and stared at the four elders in front of her. She said, "Big Brother, since there are four of them, let's fight together. Xuanri, the Light Magic Instructor of the Holy Holy Hall, would like to learn from you. " As soon as she finished speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared and wrapped around her body. The energy wave was no weaker than Dumb's fighting energy.
Xuanyue's words stimulated the pride in Oliveira's heart. He took a few steps forward and walked to Xuanyue's side. He raised the Wind God's Staff in his hand and said proudly, "Continental Union of Magicians's Wind Magic Shooter, Oliveira, would like to learn from you, Elder." A green light floated out from the top of the Wind God's Staff and completely wrapped around him, showing his powerful magic power.
Kino looked at the three people in front of him and remembered Oliveira's contempt for him. Unwilling to be outdone, he stepped forward and stood beside Oliveira. He raised the short-handled staff in his hand and imitated Oliveira. He said, "Sky Gold Magicians Union's Fire Magic Shooter, Kino, would like to learn from you, Elder." A scorching red light shone and wrapped around his body. The temperature in the air suddenly rose a few degrees.
White, gold, green, and red, the four different energy lights brought a gorgeous color to the entire forest. Even the most ordinary commoner could feel the powerful strength coming from Dumby's body.
Tiya's whole body trembled after hearing their words. She never thought that she would be fighting against three major forces this time. Moreover, those mages were far from being as weak as she thought. Whether it was the Holy Hall, Sky Gold Magicians Union, or the Continental Union of Magicians, they were not to be trifled with. Moreover, among the four people in front of her, there were two Magic Shooters and one Magic Tutor. In addition, there was Dumb, who had the title of Grim Reaper and was powerful in martial arts. She didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Would the elders be able to defeat them?
Compared to Tiya's uneasiness, the four Elders of the Yakin people were very calm. Their wooden staffs were still on the ground, and they didn't emit any aura. They just looked at Dumb and the others quietly. Their murky eyes suddenly lit up, and eight rays of light shot out. Dumb and the others shuddered at the same time.
The Grand Elder said, "We are about to attack. Please pay attention." As he spoke, the four Elders raised the wooden staffs in their hands at the same time. "Lin —" "Lin —" "Lin —" "Lin —" "Lin —" Four old and deep voices sounded. The voices weren't loud, and none of the Yakin people, including Tiya, felt anything out of the ordinary. However, Dumb and the others in front of the four Elders were all trembling violently. The energy light of the antibodies suddenly disappeared. Oliveira, who had the lowest cultivation, collapsed to the ground and fainted just like that. Kino was slightly stronger than him, but he was also trembling all over as if he was drunk. His legs were unsteady, and he kept swaying. Dumb's ruddy face suddenly became abnormally pale. His body trembled violently, and his originally thick fighting aura was gone. He held his head with both hands, and his face kept contorting as if he was resisting the unusual pain. Among the four, Xuanyue's situation was the best. She only changed her expression, but her eyes still maintained a trace of clarity. The golden light on her body suddenly disappeared, and two golden wings floated behind her, flapping continuously.
"Bing —" "Bing —" "Bing —" "Bing —" The old voice sounded again, and the clear voice traveled far into the forest. Kino was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He could no longer resist, and he fell to the ground with a plop, following in Oliveira's footsteps. A blue light shone on Dumb's chest, and a faint dragon-shaped energy floated out, protecting his head. Although he was still in extreme pain, he was able to support himself and did not fall. In the second round of attacks from the four Elders, the golden wings on Xuanyue's back suddenly dimmed a lot. They had become almost transparent, and a red light floated out of her chest, transforming into the shape of a phoenix to protect her head.
The four Grand Elder's eyes revealed a surprised expression. The wooden staffs in their hands were heavily slammed on the ground. Their eyes shone brightly, and they shrouded Xuanyue and Dumb. "Fighting —" "Fighting —" "Fighting —" "Fighting —" "Fighting —" seemed to be much stronger than before. The dragon-shaped energy protecting Dumb and his body trembled violently, and he suddenly moved his feet. He swayed in front of Xuanyue, and a gray mist floated out from his chest. The cold chill stimulated his body, but he still did not fall. "Quickly, quickly leave …" This was what he said to Xuanyue. He constantly tried to use his hand to grab the Hell King's Sword on his chest, but he couldn't use any strength.
Xuanyue reluctantly raised her left hand and pressed it on Dumb's shoulder. She used the cold evil energy from the Hell King's Sword to stabilize her body.
The four Elders looked at Dumb and Xuanyue's appearance and couldn't help but frown. They put their hands together, raised their index and ring fingers, and loudly shouted, "Swordsman —" "Swordsman —" "Swordsman —" "Swordsman —" "Swordsman —" When Xuanyue and Dumb heard the word "swordsman", their bodies began to tremble irregularly. "Ahhh —" The two screamed at the same time. Suddenly, the blue light on Dumb's chest and the red light on Xuanyue's chest lit up at the same time. Two rays of light shot up to the sky, and violently entangled with each other. The dragon's roar and phoenix's cry resounded through the forest, and the four Elders' bodies swayed at the same time.
The two elders on the left and right took a step forward at the same time. The four elders formed a circle and faintly surrounded Dumb and Xuanyue. Their hands turned outward and their fingers intertwined, changing into the shape of a flower. "All —" "All —" "All —" "All —" "All —" The fifth rune appeared. Dumb and Xuanyue spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. The dragon and phoenix energies instantly weakened a lot, but they still didn't fall down. From the painful expressions on their faces, it could be seen that they were on the verge of collapse.
The positions of the four elders changed again. The four of them stood vertically in a row. Each of them used their left hand to press on the shoulder of the person in front of them. Their right hand grabbed the staff and drew a strange arc in the air. "Zhen —" "Zhen —" "Zhen —" "Zhen —" "Zhen —" "Zhen —" "Zhen —" Dumb's eyes revealed a trace of blank expression. He once again spat out a mouthful of blood. The radiance of the Dragon God's Blood suddenly shone, but it didn't protect him. Instead, it protected Xuanyue behind him together with the red radiance of the Phoenix Blood. Dumb's body slowly fell beside Xuanyue's feet. The pain on his face gradually subsided as he fell into a deep slumber.
Xuanyue revealed a painful expression. She wanted to reach out to pull Dumb, but she couldn't muster a trace of strength. All of her energy was used to resist the four elders in front of her.
The four elders' expressions greatly changed. Their eyes revealed a frightened expression. Except for the Grand Elder at the very front, the three elders at the back all abandoned the wooden staffs in their hands. Their hands pressed on the back of the person in front of them. A faint silver radiance shot out from their eyes like lightning. In a split second, the spirits of the four people were connected as one. The Grand Elder's thumbs and middle fingers were interlocked. One of his hands was upright in front of him with the palm facing the left and the other palm facing the bottom. His complexion looked a bit pale, but he still resolutely shouted: "Lie — —"
Finally, after the seventh shout of the Grand Elder, Xuanyue couldn't hold on anymore. She continuously spat out two mouthfuls of blood. Her eyes turned gray and she slowly fell to the ground. Before she fainted, her right hand tightly grabbed onto Dumb's right hand. Only then did she lose consciousness. Even if she died, she wanted to die with the person she loved. This was the last thought in her heart.
Seeing Xuanyue fall, the four elders seemed to be relieved at the same time. The Grand Elder said indifferently: "Someone, tie them up and bring them back. Don't hurt them at all." After saying that, he staggered to the side of the completely stunned Tiya with the other three elders. "Patriarch, let's go back. Remember, please don't hurt these people. "
What else could Tia say now? The four powerful people had actually been defeated by the combined forces of the four elders. Although she did not understand what had happened, her respect for the four elders had reached an unprecedented level. She hastily replied respectfully, "Yes." Then, she accompanied the four elders as they slowly walked out of the forest.
The four Grand Elder of the Yakin people had never been in good health. This time, they came in a specially made carriage. Tiya personally sent them onto the carriage. As the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the four elders simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood. They slumped against the seat and panted heavily. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. They looked extremely tired.
Tiya turned pale with fright. She hurriedly supported the Grand Elder and channeled her fighting energy into his body. She anxiously cried out: "Elder Tenra, what happened to you?"
The Grand Elder weakly waved his hand and said: "I'm fine. Don't channel fighting energy into me, it's useless. We'll be fine after a period of rest. The mental strength of these young people is really strong. Chief, you must remember. Do not hurt them, and do not touch anything on them. They will be unconscious for at least seven days. Let's deal with them after the four of us have recovered. "
Tiya nodded repeatedly and said: "I'll listen to you. You should hurry and rest."
Seven days later, the Yakin people's prison.
Xuanyue slowly woke up from her coma. She couldn't help but moan from the severe headache. The scene in front of her gradually became clear. She found herself in a room the size of a car. She forcefully shook her head and became more clear-headed. She looked around blankly and found herself lying on the ground. The spacious floor was covered with straw. The four walls were made of stone. She couldn't see clearly in the dim light. She wanted to move her body, but found that she couldn't use any strength. She took a deep breath and tried to channel her powerful magic power. As soon as there was a slight fluctuation in her magic power, she immediately felt a severe pain in her head as if she sensed it. She couldn't concentrate her mental strength at all. After trying a few times, the result was the same. She had no choice but to give up. She could only blankly recall everything that happened before she fainted.
