Inside the secret chamber.
Lu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly woke up from his meditation.
"Is Isla gone?"
"He's already gone." Jackson's voice came from the earphone. "He's heading to Blood Castle to rescue a friend."
"Let him be. Everyone has to be responsible for their own decisions. He's like this, and so are you. "Lu Sheng stood up slowly, disconnected the earphone, and walked out of the secret chamber.
He walked into the long corridor, and headed straight for the second training ground of the fortress, where the disciples of the Phantom Fist Sect trained.
However, he only took a few steps before a faint chill spread from the other end of the corridor.
A tall figure clad in pure white stood at the end of the corridor, staring at him.
"King Cyril, you should know why I'm here." The tall man was covered in thick snow powder, as if he had just rushed here from a snowfield. He had a thick white cloak draped over his body, and under the cloak was heavy white armor weaved with various ancient and intricate patterns.
He held a heavy white greatsword in his hands, and a blue glow in the shape of an eye slowly lit up on the hilt.
"Everyone has to pay for their own choices. And now, it's time for you to pay … "
"Artificial misfortune? How ironic. "Lu Sheng immediately connected the dots between the man's intentions.
Isla didn't just attract those random attacks and the Wolf Demon Bahan, there was also this mysterious man before him.
"Right, before you die, can you tell me how you got in here?" Lu Sheng asked in confusion.
The man's expression immediately darkened, and he slowly raised his greatsword. "One minute. I'll cut off your head. "
He swung the greatsword with both hands, and walked slowly toward Lu Sheng.
"These are your last words?" Lu Sheng slowly moved his gloves.
"Whoosh!"
A white blur flashed, and the heavy greatsword appeared to Lu Sheng's right like a toy, slashing down diagonally.
The man closed in quickly, his wide cloak spinning rapidly, and produced a piercing sound as it tore through the air.
The metal spikes at the end of the cloak suddenly attacked Lu Sheng's legs like living creatures.
"Unidar!"
He roared angrily, and the giant sword suddenly emitted a pure white fluorescent light. The extremely cold air quickly covered Lu Sheng's entire body.
For an expert who could defeat Wolf Demon Bahan, no matter how cautious he was, it wouldn't be excessive.
Although he could also easily defeat Ba Han, he had long understood that no matter who his opponent was, he had to strike like a thunderbolt.
Even a lion would try its best to catch a rabbit. In a fight, even the slightest bit of carelessness could bring about a fatal threat.
The giant sword was approaching Lu Sheng's neck with a piercing chill. The sharp giant blade was about to chop off that thick and valiant head in the next moment.
"Success!!" The ice-cold man was relieved. His Frost Qi could effectively hinder his opponent's reaction speed. Regardless of whether it was the speed of his opponent's nerves or blood flow, they would all be slowed down by the Frost Qi.
In comparison, Wolf Demon Bahan was a joke in front of him. Being frozen and then turned into a blood-colored ice cube with a single sword strike. This had happened countless times.
And now, the man before him would be chopped into pieces like the Wolf Demon Bahan and turned into a blood-colored block of ice.
"Hiss!"
The giant sword landed on Lu Sheng's body and slid down without any resistance. It cut through Lu Sheng's body and landed on the ground.
A black sword mark that was more than a meter deep appeared on the ground. A large amount of Frost Qi turned into white frost and spread rapidly from the edge of the sword mark.
But strangely, there was no white frost on Lu Sheng's body.
"This!!??" The ice-cold man raised his head, and the last thing he saw was Lu Sheng's wide open mouth.
"Boom!!!"
On the side of Fort Cyril, a huge gap suddenly exploded in the night sky. Large amounts of Frost Qi burst out from the gap.
White snow drifted down from the sky.
A figure that looked like a broken doll flew out from the gap and landed heavily on the ground. It bounced a few times on the hard black ground before lying down powerlessly.
"Damn … Damn it …! What was that!!? "
The ice-cold man propped his body up with difficulty.
"Splat!"
A white afterimage pierced into the ground beside him. It was a huge white sword that was broken in half. The eye-shaped fluorescence on the hilt flickered with a dim rhythm.
"Tap, tap, tap."
Calm footsteps approached slowly from not far away.
The ice-cold man was shocked and angry. He could not help but recall the advice that the prophet had left for him before he left.
"To defeat King Cyril, you must first break through his untouchable illusory essence."
"Untouchable body. This is one of King Cyril's great abilities that we've paid a huge price to obtain. If you can't even break through this layer, you can't even touch it, let alone defeat and kill him. "
"Untouchable body … Damn it … What a pervert!!" The ice-cold man tried to get up, but his remaining arms were not strong enough to support his body. He could only clench his teeth and force his intestines back into his stomach with his broken arm.
"Snowman, is this what you get for acting alone?" The footsteps stopped, and a cold, crisp female voice was heard.
"Fang … It's you! Come and help me! "The ice-cold man let out a sigh of relief." Are the others here? You must be careful, that guy … He's not human!! That kind of overwhelming power made me feel like I was facing a Black Void! "
"You're exaggerating, right?" A slightly frivolous male voice came from the darkness behind them.
The two of them slowly walked to the side of the ice-cold man. They could not help but frown when they saw the terrible injuries on his body. The relaxed expression on their faces slowly disappeared.
The woman named Fang was wearing a pure white slender armor. She had a bull horn helmet on her head, and a pistol and a rapier hung on her waist.
The other person was a handsome man with dark red hair. He was wearing a golden, flamboyant slim-fit shirt and black trousers that perfectly accentuated his slender legs. There was a cynical smile on his fair and handsome face.
However, the smile slowly disappeared when he saw the miserable condition of the ice-cold man.
"It's been less than five minutes since you went in … This speed …"
"Jill … Where are the others? We can't defeat that monster alone! "The ice-cold man said anxiously.
"They're still behind us … They'll be here soon …"
Before Jill could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed. A silver spear suddenly appeared in his hand as he looked at the empty space in front of him cautiously.
Unbeknownst to them, a person had appeared there without them noticing.
It was a tall and strong man with a body like an inverted triangle.
Just by looking at him, the three of them felt an indescribable pressure surging into their hearts.
It was as if their hearts were being squeezed tightly by something, causing them to have difficulty breathing.
"If we don't break the Untouchable Body, we won't stand a chance!! Think of something! "The ice-cold man quickly whispered.
"Is he really that powerful?" Jill licked his lips. The strong sense of danger made him feel like he was teaming up with his teammates to hunt down the Monster of Pain.
"You can try it yourself!" The ice-cold man said angrily.
Bang!
The woman beside him had already used her actions to prove that point.
The modified explosive bullet instantly pierced through Lu Sheng's body and hit the ground behind him like an illusion. It blasted a small hole the size of a human head into the ground.
"F * ck!! We can't even hit him, what's the point of playing! Are the people up there crazy? How can they classify a monster like him as a human!? "Jill cursed in an exaggerated manner.
"But we've collected his DNA, and he's indeed a pure human. It's just that his martial arts strength is too strong, causing a qualitative change … In fact, this King Cyril's physical quality is about the same as ours …"
"Whoosh!!"
Lu Sheng easily lifted a huge rock with a diameter of more than four meters. He leaped five meters into the air and smashed it toward the three of them.
The heavy rock was thrown at an astonishing speed, and it was no slower than their dodging speed.
"Boom!!!"
The huge impact produced a storm-like explosion. It was as if they were being bombarded by an intercontinental missile. The three of them did not even have time to counterattack. They could only use their abilities to protect themselves before they were thrown into the air like paper.
"You f * cking said that he's about the same as us!!?" Jill cursed in the air.
Fang's eyes widened in disbelief. He did not even notice that the rocks had left bloody wounds on his body and face.
"But the data can't be wrong …!!" She argued loudly.
The other two looked at the huge ten-meter-long rock that whistled toward them. They finally could not help but curse.
However, cursing would not solve their current predicament.
The ten-meter-long, six-meter-wide boulder smashed into the three of them with a heavy and terrifying force. It was as if a huge fly swatter had hit three slightly larger flying insects.
"Bam!!!"
The three of them felt a boom in their heads, and their bodies were in intense pain. They did not know how many bones were broken in that instant. Then, they lost consciousness.
"Prophecy Department, f * ck you!!!" Jill finally could not help but roar toward the sky before he fainted.
"Boom!"
The huge rock crashed into the ground, and the ground trembled.
Lu Sheng stared at the falling rock silently. He was about to walk up and inspect it, but the three unfamiliar hostile auras quickly dissipated like melting snow. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
"Are they dead? Or did they escape? "He stopped in his tracks and looked into the distance calmly.
At this moment, the patrol team from the fortress finally arrived. However, they seemed to have received an order. They stopped far away and did not get too close.
"Are they here for Isla again?" Lu Sheng pondered. Up until now, almost all the forces and people he knew had come to him one after another because he had taken Isla under his wing.
The Church of Isis, the Church of Hope, the mysterious ambushers, and the few people just now. He had never seen so many people gathered together.
After he officially accepted Isla, these forces kept appearing. Some were hostile, some were neutral, and they kept trying to make him give up on Isla.
"Is it the void? Or the local universe? "Lu Sheng looked up at the starry night sky. He seemed to be touched.
To be honest, he really did not want to get involved in the war between the void and the universe.
However, not wanting to do so did not mean that he was afraid.
