A strong sense of déjà vu rose in his heart. He felt like he was about to recall something he had once forgotten.
But reality didn't allow Li Peiyun to think too much. His situation was even more dangerous than Li Xianyu's. He was facing the combined attack of hundreds of Holy Knights, Disciplinary Knights, and experts from various departments. There were even two top-notch S ranks among them.
Forget it, thinking isn't my forte. I'll deal with the situation in front of me first and try my best to buy time for the Blood Knights and the others.
In the plan that he and Li Qianyu had come up with, all they had to do was buy time. They didn't have to worry about anything else.
But this wasn't an easy mission. In fact, it was very risky. No matter how proud Li Peiyun was, he knew that he had four hands and two fists. Even if the Church was currently defenseless, it was still very dangerous for him.
They're also stubborn to kill me. Otherwise, do you think I'll be able to stop you if they abandon me? Li Peiyun thought.
Richard, the vice leader of the Disciplinary Knights, worked together with Messer, the vice leader of the Holy Knights, and attacked from both sides.
It was as if two furious dragons were pouncing over from the left and right. Li Peiyun held the sword of energy in his right hand and blocked Richard's attack from the left. He clenched his left hand into a fist and punched Messer's sword with his flesh and blood.
It was as if a missile had exploded on the rooftop. The violent aura cleared the rooftop, and dozens of knights fell from the building while vomiting blood. The twenty-centimeter-thick reinforced concrete floor beneath their feet couldn't withstand the force and collapsed with a cracking sound.
The three of them fell to the next floor and disappeared from everyone's sight. However, the continuous explosions and deafening sounds indicated that they were still in an intense battle.
The entire building was shaking, and the walls let out a dull "bang" as they cracked continuously. Cement and bricks shot out from the cracks in the walls.
Finally, the four-story building couldn't take it anymore. With a boom, the four-story building started to collapse.
Fortunately, this building was an office and not a place for people to live in. Otherwise, who knew how many people would die from such a destructive force.
Messer and Richard rushed out of the flying cement blocks and dust, looking a little disheveled. Both of them were empty-handed, their weapons destroyed by the sharp edge of the energy sword.
Outside the ruins, hundreds of knights formed a battle formation. Two knight longswords were tossed over and caught by Messer and Richard. The two of them stood in formation perfectly.
Hundreds of knights activated their Qi activity at the same time, adjusting the intensity and frequency, gradually merging into a whole.
This was a battle formation passed down by the Vatican since ancient times. In the era of slaughter, the knights of the Vatican had once relied on this battle formation to sweep across Europe. They were invincible. Under the hooves of the knights, all the armies trembled in fear. At the peak of their power, even the Pope was afraid of such a powerful group of knights.
Times had changed. Now, it was an era where tanks and armored vehicles roamed the land. Knights no longer needed to ride on their horses to charge. The Bloodline World was ultimately a small-scale battle, but such battle formations had always been preserved to fight against the powerful Bloodline Descendants.
The two vice-commanders clashed their iron swords, mobilizing the Qi activity of hundreds of cavalrymen, and slashed out a cross-shaped Sword Qi in the direction of the ruins.
This sword strike was at the level of a half-step Extreme Dao.
With a loud rumble, the few remaining walls also collapsed.
"He's gone!" Messer and Richard looked at each other and frowned.
Li Peiyun's aura suddenly disappeared from the collapsed ruins. She was also nowhere to be seen, and all that was left was a mess.
Screams came from the periphery of the battle formation. Rolling white light slashed into the camp, instantly killing more than ten knights.
Everyone was shocked. Just as they turned around to deal with it, Li Peiyun, who was holding the Sword Qi, sneered and disappeared.
A few breaths later, screams were heard again.
This time, it was from the left flank.
"God didn't care for us today. Damn it, this kid's ability is concealment." Richard gritted his teeth.
Messer nodded solemnly. He also realized that Li Peiyun's ability was a perfect counter to battle formations.
Knight battle formations were suitable for large-scale slaughter on the battlefield, or to encircle and annihilate super experts. However, they also had a weakness. When facing opponents with concealment abilities, not only would a large formation not be effective in killing the enemy, it would also become a burden.
A battle formation formed by hundreds of people was like an elephant. Whether the opponent was a lion or a tiger, they would all die. However, if the opponent was a rat, then it would be a headache.
Li Peiyun hammered here and there, and it felt good in all kinds of ways. He felt that this group of people was easier to deal with than in a chaotic battle.
Under normal circumstances, he was not willing to use his bloodline ability. He felt that it was not in line with his style. In Li Peiyun's mind, the perfect ability should be the one with great power and the kind that he would fight if he was not satisfied. Or like Li Xianyu's self-healing ability, which was also a straightforward ability.
What are you worried about? What can you do?
Then let's fight, who's afraid of who?
"Don't worry about him. You guys go and support the Pope."
The Dragon Knight came late. He rode a giant python and swam over at a moderate speed.
"Dragon Knight, the Dragon Knight is here."
"Great, let's see how long this kid can be arrogant for."
The group of people was overjoyed.
This battle was really frustrating. If not for the fact that some of the Vatican's powerhouses were locked in Purgatory and there were not enough top powerhouses, he, a Chinese, would not have been able to show off.
The Dragon Knight stood on the snake's head and looked around. He locked his eyes on the back of Li Peiyun, who was quietly slipping away, and sneered. "Lowly ant."
Li Peiyun heard this and stopped in his tracks. He slowly revealed himself. Dozens of meters away from the group, he held a sword of energy in his hand and looked straight at the Dragon Knight. "Ant?"
Both of them were extremely arrogant. The Dragon Knight looked down at him and did not hide his disdain. "What are you so proud of? When I was your age, I had already touched the threshold of half-step Ji Dao."
The leaders of the Holy Knights and Commandment Knights of the Vatican were all half-step Ji Dao. In the Bloodline World, they were super geniuses, no weaker than the successors of Ji Dao. The Dragon Knight had the qualifications and confidence to look down on Li Peiyun.
Li Peiyun said, "When I was your age, I was already Ji Dao."
The Dragon Knight sneered. "Who doesn't know how to brag?"
Li Peiyun retorted, "At least I have the capital to brag. You don't."
Youth was capital. Who knew what would happen in 20 years? The Dragon Knight felt that there was no point in arguing in this regard. He lightly stomped his feet, and the giant snake understood and raised its head high.
The Dragon Knight stared into the distance for a moment and said with a frown, "Where did you get so many top S-rank warriors?"
Li Peiyun was stunned. He jumped onto a small building not far away and looked into the distance with narrowed eyes. There was an intense battle taking place in the distance. It wasn't a battle between the Pope and the Blood Knight. Other than this path, there were also battles taking place on other paths leading to the Pope's palace.
"Guardian Monkey?" Li Peiyun was dumbfounded.
Wasn't that monkey that could kill more than ten people with a roar a guardian of the Myriad Demon Alliance?
But why was he here?
The guardian of the Myriad Demon Alliance was a force that had nothing to do with the Vatican. Why would he appear at the headquarters of the Vatican in Europe at this moment?
Also, it seemed that Guardian Monkey wasn't the only one here. There were other guardians as well.
With four top S-rank warriors intercepting them, it was no wonder that the battle over at the Pope's side was still ongoing. The plan was more stable now, but Li Peiyun wasn't happy at all.
The guardian of the Myriad Demon Alliance definitely wasn't here for him. The Blood Knight and the others had nothing to do with the Myriad Demon Alliance.
Li Qianyu, it was her.
Wasn't she a peripheral member of Bosch? How did she get involved with the Myriad Demon Alliance?
Li Peiyun had a headache. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
"Hiss, hiss!"
The giant snake took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. It spat venom at him, not giving Li Peiyun any time to think.
He dodged it, and the venom melted a hole in the cement roof.
"I hate it when people interrupt me when I'm thinking." Li Peiyun cracked the roof with one foot, and a sword of qi shot out from his arm, slashing toward the Dragon Knight's head.
"Seal!" The Dragon Knight made a hand seal with one hand.
A spiritual power entered Li Peiyun's body, but before it could do anything, it was shattered by an invisible sword qi condensed from spiritual power.
"Tsk, sword of will." The Dragon Knight curled his lips.
The Three Talents Sword Arts really had no shortcomings. The sword of essence was known for its defense, and it was hard for an expert of the same rank to break it. The sword of will condensed from spiritual power could defend against most spiritual attacks. As for the Sword of Qi, it was incomparably sharp and its attack was unparalleled.
"Seal, seal, seal." The Dragon Knight won with numbers. In an instant, he released more than ten spiritual powers and suppressed the sword of will.
Li Peiyun's sword of qi immediately dimmed.
It was frustrating. It was like a Warrior fighting a Sorcerer. Before the Warrior could even touch the Sorcerer, he was already hit by a bunch of debuffs.
The Dragon Knight raised his right hand and condensed Qi between his fingers. He easily grabbed the weakened sword of qi in his hand.
"With this level of skill, even I could easily defeat you when I was younger."
The Dragon Knight crushed the sword of qi and pressed his palm on Li Peiyun's chest. The force penetrated through his back and tore his clothes.
Li Peiyun spurted out blood. This palm force was enough to send him flying 108,000 miles away, but he didn't fly out because the Dragon Knight grabbed his right wrist and pulled him back. His palms turned into afterimages as he struck out dozens of palms in a row, breaking the Essence sword's blood and qi defense and injuring his meridians and internal organs. Finally, he grabbed Li Peiyun's neck and lifted him into the air.
He couldn't fight back at all.
The Dragon Knight was an expert of the same level as the Blood Knight. He was at the peak of half-step extreme grade. Fighting a top S-rank was like fighting a little brother.
Under the suppression of absolute strength, the Three Talents Sword Arts and the inheritor of extreme grade were all fancy tricks.
"Who gave you the confidence to come to the Vatican and cause trouble? I don't care if you flaunt your power in China, but since you dare to come to my territory, you must be prepared to atone for your sins. "The Dragon Knight used his fingers like a sword and condensed Qi at his fingertips. He pointed at the center of Li Peiyun's eyebrows.
The sword of intent was unsheathed, but it collapsed under the even more powerful spiritual power.
Li Peiyun sensed the aura of death, a rare feeling of despair in her heart.
He was still too careless. He should have escaped just now. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. He didn't leave, which meant that he was destined to die.
Die and disappear?
Under the threat of death, he erupted with unprecedented potential. Every cell in his body was roaring, resisting death and resisting the desperate situation.
White light surged from his right arm, and the shattered sword of qi condensed again. This time, his aura had broken through the top S-rank and reached half-step extreme grade.
"Hmph!" The Dragon Knight had no choice but to withdraw his fingers and point at the sword of qi.
Even if it was half-step extreme grade, he didn't care.
At this moment, a voice full of androgyny shouted, "Handsome, am I beautiful?"
Behind Li Peiyun, in the direction of the Dragon Knight, Li Xianyu had arrived at some point in time and was blowing him a kiss.
The Dragon Knight realized in despair that at this moment, what occupied his heart was not fighting spirit or killing intent, but an urge to fall in love. Yes, it was what China called the sour smell of love.
He knew that this was the other party's charm, but he couldn't resist it.
Once he relaxed, the Qi at his fingertips collapsed and could no longer condense. The sword of qi had already slashed at him.
The Dragon Knight made a prompt decision. He abandoned Li Peiyun and quickly retreated. The light of the sword of qi brushed past the python's head, scaring it into lying on the ground.
The python turned around and slithered back to the Dragon Knight's side.
He stepped on the snake's head again and looked at Li Peiyun, who had temporarily unleashed the power of half a step into Extreme Grade in the face of danger. "Not bad."
Death could stimulate one's potential, but most people couldn't break through when facing death.
He recognized Li Peiyun's potential. Extreme grade was too far away, but half-step extreme grade was just around the corner.
The Dragon Knight looked at Li Xianyu again. He didn't admire her, but disgust. "Disgusting woman. Women are all disgusting creatures."
Li Xianyu nodded. "Yes, they're all big pig trotters."
He quietly approached Li Peiyun, planning to face the enemy together with him. The Dragon Knight was a terrifying opponent at the peak of half-step extreme grade. Facing such an enemy, he couldn't hide anymore. He had no choice but to expose his identity.
He simply didn't care about the interception mission. He would deal with this wave first.
However, surprisingly, the Dragon Knight didn't waste time with them. He said coldly, "You don't need to interfere with the Vatican's business."
He rode on the python and left to support the Pope.
Was he cherishing talent?
Li Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief. Whatever, it was fine as long as he didn't attack. Facing this half-step extreme grade, he probably had to use all his trump cards to counterattack. That wouldn't be in line with his original intention, and it would be a waste of Ice Shard's Qi.
"Are you okay?" Li Xianyu reached out to support Li Peiyun.
The latter held his hand and shook her head. "I'm fine, Li Xianyu, are you okay?"
He fixed his gaze on her, his pitch-black eyes flashing with light, appearing to be burning and threatening.
"I'm not." Li Xianyu was shocked, and his hair stood on end. "Oh my, why did you call me by the wrong name?"
