Lord Xue Ying's

Chapter 44 – Escape!

"What! How ... How is this possible? the remaining ”Wali, who was currently fighting against Tang Xiong, was shocked.

After killing protector Liang Yong, the three guardians had full confidence in dealing with the three remaining Silver Moon Knights and the much weaker Si Bai Rong.

However, as this black-clothed youngster took out his spear, the situation turned against them.

"Dead!" Shouted Tang Xiong. Taking advantage of the moment when the guardian was interrupted, the guardian could not hope to match Tang Xiong's 160-year-old attack. The opposite guardian panicked at the wrong time. 'Slash ~~~' The red dot appeared just above the guard's eyebrows and in a few moments, he fell down, with his eyes wide open in shock.

"Brother Xue Ying, that is an incredible spear technique!" Tang Xiong laughed. "The movement is clean and fresh, it's been a while since I last saw something like that."

Yu Jing Qiu was also slightly amazed by Xue Ying's ability.

"It was a pity that Liang Yong was overwhelmed in such a short period of time. I couldn't reach him in time. ”Xue Ying shook his head.

"Huh."

Si Bai Rong stood behind the group with a grim face. His protector was dead and just a moment ago, he had touched the veil of death. Yet even after all this, he could not believe that this Xue Ying, who came from the countryside of Water Rite City, could be so powerful.

He then walked towards protector Liang Yong to retrieve the remaining armbands from the previous fight.

Xue Ying, Jing Qiu and Tang Xiong were all staring at him.

“This old hole is my protector. I have to bring his belongings back to his family, ” Bai Rong said. “As for his body, I will leave him here for now until the end of the mission. After that, someone from the Dragon Mountain Manor would pick it up. ”

"Bec ... Who knew if this Bai Rong would even take the items in Liang Yong's treasure storage back to his family ..." Tang Xiong muttered.

He had seen too much, experienced too many things.

The Clan is a big clan. Given its hundred-year-old history, there must have been many descendants in the family, with many different characters. Regarding Si Bai Rong, although his innate talent was quite good, there was nothing good to say about his character. However, Tang Xiong did not want to get entangled with such a person. After all, it is said that this type of character is sometimes the hardest to deal with.

"Ka ka ka." Yu Jing Qiu walked forward. Utilizing his ability to control the cold energy, he carried Liang Yong's body, covering it with a layer of ice.

"These three guards don't actually have any treasures." Tang Xiong scavenged their bodies. “This is very strange. From what I know, most Silver Moon Knights will at least have some treasures. En. There aren't even many gold records on them. Young master Bai Rong, do you want it? "

Si Bai Rong glanced at the note. He wasn't thick-skinned enough to want a part of the battle when he wasn't participating in it. "I haven't killed a single guard yet."

"You can share it with Xue Ying." Jing Qiu added.

"Ha ha's. I'll take one part, and you take two. ”Tang Xiong split 50 thousand gold coins with Xue Ying. Xue Ying, also accepted it without hesitation.

"Let's go." Jing Qiu continued.

"Let's continue."

From this moment on, Xue Ying was the one leading the group of four, with Tang Xiong and Jing Qiu following behind him. As for young master Bai Rong, he was actually right behind the group! After facing the battle earlier, he felt somewhat afraid of what would happen after this, especially considering that his protector was not by his side anymore.

　　……

The mission continued peacefully afterwards, without any extremely powerful array formations that could trap the group of four. After searching through the eight Great Hall of the castle, Xue Ying and the others proceeded with what they had decided beforehand - to explore the dungeon.

Following the stairs leading downwards, they immediately reached the huge gate.

“Expert associates, please be careful. I can feel some kind of demonic devil coming from inside, ”Jing Qiu warned.

"En." In the end, the most dangerous factor of this mission was actually the Demon God Envoy present in the sacred land of the Azure River County.

Gate open.

The ice element snake Jing Qiu passed through the gate as a vanguard, followed by Xue Ying and the others.

"A very big hall!" They were all amazed.

The basement beneath the castle actually contained a large hall. But the most conspicuous part of the hall that attracted everyone's attention was the statue of the Demon God. Although it was only a statue, Demonic Qi could be felt from it, causing Xue Ying and the other experts to feel uneasy.

At the end of the Great Hall was actually a throne.

Right now, a monster-looking man was sitting right on top of him. Beside him, there was another person who was adorned with respect towards the man. Without a doubt, Xue Ying and the others could recognize him as the main target of their mission - Lu Huai Ru.

“I didn't expect those three guards to be this useless. Even with the help of my array formation, they only managed to kill one of you, ” Lu Huai Ru said with a smile. “If it was another day, I would try to take advantage of the current opportunity to escape! However, my chances of escaping the Dragon Mountain Manor surveillance are actually quite small. Even so, today is not another day. There was no need for me to escape at all. ”

Jing Qiu, Bai Rong and Tang Xiong narrowed their eyes towards the monster-like man sitting on the throne.

"Who is he?" Xue Ying, also felt a great danger coming from this man. 'Isn't the sect leader representing the Azure River region, Lu Huai Ru? Now, however, he stood to the side, paying an unadorned salute to the man on the throne. The man with a body stronger than my uncle Tong, who exactly is he? '

"A Silver Moon Mage."

The man who looked like a monster suddenly said, his words echoing with power throughout the hall. Touching his beard, he looked at Jing Qiu with glittering eyes. “Young and beautiful female magician ... How precious! Haha ... I love this beautiful Mage. The younger they are, the better. It is said that the female witches are all very intelligent. I can even imagine myself enjoying such beauty now ... Makes me tickle with joy. ”

"You ...!" Tang Xiong frowned as she tried to recall where she had seen this person before.

Right at this moment, someone came to his mind.

A ruthless and brutal person who has been missing for over 80 years.

"Run!" Tang Xiong unhesitatingly ran from the scene, turning into streams of light as she continued to shout, "Faster! Run for your life! ”

"What!?" Bai Rong and Jing Qiu were shocked. Why did Tang Xiong escape when they had not even engaged the enemy yet? His actions made them flutter nervously.

"You want to escape?"

A deep and powerful voice sounded within the Great Hall. Suddenly, the entire hall fell into the darkness, an invisible force enveloped him, as if a huge palm was pressing down on the hall. The fleeing Tang Xiong was suppressed by this invisible force and his speed decreased by a large margin. Even the surrounding air and surrounding space were twisted with distortion.

"One with the World!" Bai Rong was so scared by what she saw that she almost peed in her pants.

Jing Qiu also panicked at their current situation.

The man who looked like a monster removed a piece of metal from the throne and threw it towards them.

Xiu!

Just like a stream of light, the piece of metal was flying at a speed similar to lightning. Tang Xiong, who was fleeing with her back to the throne, did not see the piece of metal. Even if he could see it, everything happened too quickly for him to react. Pu's! The piece of metal entered and pierced through Tang Xiong's head so quickly that she didn't even feel anything. Just like that, he died with his eyes wide open, not knowing what hit him.

"Drop." Standing beside the throne, Lu Huai Ru lightly pressed the button to activate the trap.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Three huge gates fell right at the entrance, sealing the group inside the Great Hall under the castle.

"A soldier Legend ... Why are there soldiers Legend ...?" Bai Rong was in chaos at the place he had witnessed. "The branch of the Demon God Devotee inside a small area in Azure River County, why ... why would there be a Legend soldier !?"

"This ..." The ever calm Jing Qiu started to panic. A legend ranker? With his control over the power of nature, there would be nothing he could do against him with the powerful magic spell arsenal, as they both took their energy from the environment. If it used magic within its body, its power would be a thousand times smaller than where mana was gathered from nature. Throw it at Legend soldiers? It'll just scratch it.

"This beautiful witch, don't fight anymore. Who would have thought that before I left this area, I could still enjoy the taste of the Silver Moon witch, and at such a young age as well ... Tut ... I am very lucky! This female witch, just obey and stay. I will surely spoil you. ”Said the man who looked like that monster. "I believe in your wisdom, you'll know what's best for you."

"As for the other two men there, they are of no use to me." He said as he grabbed another piece of metal.

"Pity me!"

Bai Rong fell to the ground, begging for mercy. "Great master, please save my life. This witch Jing Qiu is only 25 years old. She is one of the most beautiful girls in our Azure River Region. I believe that he will definitely listen to you, great sir. This little one was Si Bai Rong, from the Si Clan. I'm begging you to save my life, great sir! "

Bai Rong turned towards Jing Qiu and shouted anxiously, "Jing Qiu, I think you should know what is best for you. Following a Legend soldier like that was actually not a bad decision. But if we decide to rebel, you will die. We're all gonna die. The only option now is for us to live. After all, when we die, there will be nothing left for us ...! ”

"Huh."

Jing Qiu coldly looked towards Bai Rong, before looking towards the man who looked like a monster on the throne.

“After receiving the mission from Dragon Mountain Manor, everyone knew there must be a risk of death. I have prepared myself for such a situation. After all, there was nothing I could blame other than my luck. But if you tell me to follow your instructions, then I can only tell you this. Dream on. ”Jing Qiu said as he braced himself for what would happen afterwards.

It was just that Jing Qiu had a hint of regret.

After making so much effort in discovering the laws of nature, he knew that his chances of ascending to the legendary mage were quite high. But just because one small decision goes wrong in the end, his efforts will all be in vain.

"You disappointed me. However, even after you die, I will still save your body for my own collection. ”Said the monster-looking man.

Si Bai Rong knelt down while Yu Jing Qiu tightly held onto his staff and looked at his opponent with a heart full of despair.

“This is really beyond my expectations. Originally, it would only be a BlackIron level mission for me to accumulate some experience points and achievements. But who will know that there are actually Legend soldiers. "

Xue Ying suddenly said loudly.
