Chapter 169: One Against Three


The introduction to the new book has been uploaded, you can go and see La, the title of the book is the Zodiac Patron Saint, address: The Pope was shocked, although he knew that Quan Yi was ruthless, but he didn't expect him to make such a cruel suggestion.

The red-clothed sacrifices all have the cultivation of the Magister, and the four red-clothed sacrifices combined, even the Pope himself does not dare to win easily, especially now, Xuanyue, in terms of divine light magic cultivation, is already very close to his own realm, if it is really the four red-clothed sacrifices joining forces, I am afraid that even the Tiangang Sword Saint will not be able to deal with it.

Hearing Quan Yi's words, Raldas was furious in his heart, and his plan that was about to succeed was ruined by his words, and he snorted disdainfully, and said coldly: "What does the red-clothed sacrifice represent on the mainland, Your Majesty Quan Yi should understand."

Ask four red-clothed priests to besiege an obscure dumb, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the reputation of the Holy See. ” The guests all walked to the altar of light, and Xi Wen said: "Yes, I agree with the words of the national teacher of Raldas, the Holy See is the leader of the continent, although what Dumb did this time is indeed too much, but let the four red-clothed priests test him alone, I think it's still a bit too much."

Please think again, His Holiness. ” "Yes, what the head of Xi Wen said is right, although Dumb's behavior today is indeed wrong, but the Holy See broke the contract first, how can he let the four red-clothed priests besiege him alone" This should be reconciled, it is the president of the Mainland Magician Guild Carry.

As soon as his voice fell, all the forces that came for Dumb this time converged, and for a while, chaotic voices resounded around the altar of light.

The Pope was silent, if there was no appearance of Quanyi, he believed that with his authority and the reasons that Lardas said before, this matter could be resolved smoothly, but the sudden appearance of Quanyi would inevitably cause some thoughts in the hearts of the clergy of the Holy See, if he rashly rejected Quanyi's opinion, it would not only cause estrangement between the Sunset Empire and the Holy See, but also make many high-level personnel of the Holy See dissatisfied, especially in the hearts of Babelon and his descendants, it would have a great negative impact.

For a while, he hesitated, and it was still difficult to decide.

Dumb looked at the eyes of the audience who cared about him, his heart was warm, he was not alone, he had friends and teachers, and they were all concerned about him.

Glancing at Xuan Yue, who was standing with his head down, Dumb took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Your Excellency Pope, you don't have to be embarrassed, just according to what His Majesty Quan Yi said, I am willing to accept the test of the four red-clothed sacrifices." ” Dumb's words immediately caused an uproar among the clergy in the audience, in the hearts of the clergy, the red-clothed sacrifice is second only to the Pope's noble existence, and has an absolutely lofty status in their hearts.

Xi Wen was shocked when he heard Dumb's words, and scolded angrily: "Dumb, don't talk nonsense. ” Quan Yi's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he said without yin or yang: "Head Xi Wen, since he is willing to be dumb, why should you stop it, I am really surprised by his courage, the disciples cultivated by the Tiangang Sword Sect are really extraordinary."

Dumb snorted coldly and said, "You are the monarch of the dark country of the Sunset Empire, no wonder the Sunset Empire will become like that, you are not a good thing in itself."

Be careful, maybe death will appear in front of you someday. ” Quan Yi was furious when he heard what Dumb said earlier, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly changed color, pointed at Dumb, and said, "You, what are you talking about death." ” Dumb sneered and said, "It's the god of death who will destroy the Killer Guild and kill a large number of nobles in your Sunset Empire, you won't know that there is such a person."

If you want to die, he will be happy to fulfill you.

After all, you are the source of darkness in the Sunset Empire. ” Quan Yi's already pale face was filled with anger, and his fingers trembled slightly, "You, who are the sources of darkness what are you talking about?"

Your Excellency, you have to call the shots for me."

Dumb snorted disdainfully, turned his head to look at Xuan Yue and ignored him.

The Pope glanced at Dumb with some reproach, the matter had come to this point, and even he couldn't change the situation.

Turning to look at Babelon and the others, he said, "You see how this matter should be handled."

Although Babelon hated Dumb for ruining his son's wedding, he was the deputy chief judge of the Holy See after all, and he knew that this punishment was indeed too severe, and he just wanted to speak, but he was preempted by his wife on the side.

Luo Shui's eyes showed strong hatred, and he said angrily: "Let the four red-clothed priests test him, we have no opinion." ” The Pope glanced at Luo Shui with deep meaning, sighed, and said: "Since this is the case, then the four red-clothed priests will test Dumb on the altar of light, but, as the highest sacrifice of the Holy See, I limit the attack time to half an hour, if Dumb can support more than half an hour, even if he passes this test." ” Xi Wen said angrily: "Your Excellency the Pope, how can this be.

Wouldn't letting Dumb fight against the four red-clothed priests alone is equivalent to sentencing him to death, I will never agree.

We, the Tiangang Sword Sect, would never agree.

Those who supported Dumb's side immediately became clamoring and criticized the Pope's decision.

A cold glint flashed in the Pope's eyes, as the emperor of the Holy See, the supreme ruler of the continent, when had he ever encountered such a scene, he just wanted to have a seizure, but he was preempted by Dumb.

Dumb stopped everyone from continuing, and said earnestly: "Uncle Xiwen, teachers and friends, thank you for your concern for Dumb.

However, today it is true that Dumb did not do it right.

As a disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect, I must not back down in the face of challenges, I must not lose the face of the Tiangang Sword Sect, and I must not let my master down.

Rest assured, I am confident that I will take up this challenge.

Please don't embarrass the Pope any more. ” Xi Wen sighed, shook his head, and stopped talking.

The rest of the crowd had worried looks in their eyes.

Quan Yi said disdainfully: "I don't know whether to live or die."

Dumb didn't even look at him, and said lightly: "When people talk, please don't answer the dog." ” "You, you dare to call me a dog."

Feng Wen beside Xi Wen said: "Dumb, how can you scold His Majesty Quan Yi for being a dog, isn't that an insult to that faithful animal" Looking at Feng Wen's solemn expression, everyone present burst out laughing, even the Pope couldn't help but laugh a little, and a trace of separation from the Tiangang Sword Sect before disappeared.

If it weren't for Beinluogla, Quan Yi would have rushed up, Beinluoge comforted Quan Yi and said to the Pope: "Since Dumb himself is willing to accept the test, Your Excellency the Pope, you can start." ” The Pope sighed, nodded, and said, "Well," he was about to open his mouth to order the four red-clothed priests, but was interrupted.

"Wait a minute."

Xuanyue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, she raised her head, the tears on her face had disappeared, she glanced at Dumb lightly, and said to the Pope: "Your Excellency, as a party to this matter, in order to avoid the suspicion of favoritism, please find someone to replace me to test him." ” The Pope bowed his head and said, "Okay, I will allow you to withdraw from this test, who is willing to take over the position of Xuanyue Sacrifice and test Dumb" He looked at the people on the stage.

Luo Shui stopped the Babelon father and son, who were about to rush out, and rushed to the Pope: "Your Excellency the Pope, in the Holy See, the only one who can be on par with the position of the red-clothed priest is the Chief Judge." ” The Pope frowned, and glanced at Luo Shui deeply, Luo Shui met the Pope's deep gaze that seemed to penetrate the heart and lungs, his delicate body trembled slightly, and he involuntarily lowered his head.

The Pope turned his gaze to Xuanyuan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Presiding Judge, are you willing to take over the position of Xuanyue Sacrifice and test Dumb?"

Xuanyuan's eyes showed a complicated look, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I don't want to."

As a high-ranking clergyman of the Holy See, so many people besiege a junior, which is not good for the reputation of the Holy See, although today he blasphemed the gods and insulted the Holy See, but, as people who represent justice and spread the will of God, how can we deal with him like this In my opinion, it is enough to be tested by three cardinal priests. ” The Pope didn't wait for Luo Shui to object, nodded and said: "Okay, what the presiding judge said is reasonable, since this is the case, the three priests of Xuanye, Mangxiu, and Yuma will test Dumb."

Guests, please exit 100 meters. ” With the absence of a red-clothed priest, Xi Wen's heart sank a little, but he didn't know if Dumb could fight against the three top magicians with the strength of one person.

Anxiously glanced at Dumb, and then he and Lardas led everyone to retreat together, Quan Yi turned around and retreated towards the periphery, while gloating: "Fighting with the three red-clothed priests, I think, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die."

As he was walking out, he suddenly felt something under his feet, and one of them didn't stand firmly, and he suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, "Oops."

Quan Yi's body, which had already been hollowed out by the wine, suddenly seemed to fall apart, and he exhaled in pain.

Biyin Luoge was startled, he felt a fluctuation of magical energy just now, but he didn't expect that this magical energy was actually attacking Quan Yi, after all, he was the national teacher of the Sunset Empire, and the anger in his heart rose, sweeping towards the guests.

All the guests walked out without squinting, he couldn't see who did it at all, these guests can be said that none of them have a good impression of the Sunset Empire, and there is no shortage of high-level magicians, everyone has the possibility of making a move, and how can he tell the difference?

sighed secretly, hurriedly helped Quan Yi up, and said in a low voice; "Your Majesty, be careful."

Quan Yi got up from the ground with a snort, glanced at the place where he was mixed just now, and said suspiciously: "Da Pingdi, how could I fall, it's really his evil sect." ” The Pope didn't pay attention to what was happening in the audience, looked at Dumb and sighed, and said, "You can do it yourself."

The unrelated clergy also withdrew. ” Ba Buyi glared at Dumb angrily, the hatred in his heart had reached the extreme, and he couldn't wait to break Dumb's body into thousands of pieces with his own hands to relieve the anger in his heart.

Under the pull of his parents, he reluctantly got off the altar of light.

Xuan Yue lowered her head and followed her mother to the stage.

Seeing that she ignored herself, Dumb couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, and secretly thought, Yueyue, you still don't forgive me for the strength of the red-clothed sacrifice He couldn't be clearer, and he wasn't sure if he could withstand the attack of the three red-clothed priests for half an hour, looking at Xuanyue's appearance, his heart became cold, and he sighed, even if I die here today, I have no regrets, after all, I stopped Yueyue from marrying someone she doesn't love.

At this moment, Dumb had already made up his mind to die, his eyes flashed coldly, and the cold breath filled his body in an instant.

At this moment, Dumb suddenly felt a heat in his palm, as if there was something more, and he couldn't help but sigh, and a familiar voice sounded in his heart, "Dumb, don't hurt my father, you must be careful, I, I'm waiting for you."

Don't forget, absolutely defensive.

This voice, he was so familiar, the words full of concern made Dumb's heart warm, and he looked at Xuan Yue who had already walked off the altar stupidly, and his heart fluttered.

It turned out that when Xuanyue was on the altar, he used space magic to teleport the Guardian Ring that he had been holding in his hand to Dumb's palm, and said that sentence.

Under Xuan Yue's encouragement, Dumb's confidence suddenly increased, he spread out his palm, looked at the white ring in his palm, and his body trembled slightly under the agitation of the mood.

He knew that no matter whether Xuan Yue forgave him or not, at least, she still loved herself, and she still cared about her own safety, and it was enough to have these.

The Pope circled his hands, flew to the door of the Temple of Light in a package of golden light, and said in a deep voice: "Dumb blasphemy on the altar of light, I order, Xuanye, Yuma, and Mangxiu to punish him with gods, regardless of life or death, the time limit is half an hour, start."

Under the Pope's order, the three red-clothed priests were shining with dazzling white light at the same time, Mangxiu and Yuma waved their right hands at the same time, and each sent out a blade of light full of divine aura towards Dumb, and the golden light in Xuanye's hand flashed, and the wrath of the gods fell in his palm, and he quickly chanted a spell.

They all know the strength of Dumb's martial arts, and they know that they must not give him a chance to attack, the three of them have been the same red-clothed priest for many years, and they already have a deep tacit understanding with each other, Mang Xiu and Yuma gave up chanting high-level magic, and prepared to entangle Dumb with low-level magic, giving Xuanye an opportunity to use high-level magic.

Dumb's eyes were full of majesty, he snorted coldly, and each of his hands conjured up a silver shield of light, and took the slash of the two light blades without dodging or dodging, and with two booms, a large white point of light on the altar of light scattered and splashed, and Dumb kicked the ground with his right foot, rushing towards Mang Xiu like lightning.

The Pope's biggest mistake was to have the three red-clothed priests fight Dumb in the small space of the Altar of Light.

How could Dumb not understand the advantages and disadvantages of magic and martial arts, in a small space, he naturally wanted to grab the position of the main attack, and not give the three red-clothed priests a chance to use great magic.

When the dumb blue figure rushed in front of Mangxiu's body in a flash, the Pope had already realized the problem, but now he couldn't change anything.

Everything can only be seen by the three red-clothed sacrifices to themselves.

As one of the four red-clothed sacrifices, Mang Xiu certainly has his extraordinary skills, although he was surprised by the speed at which Dumb rushed towards him, but he did not panic, the golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden tulip appeared in front of him, Mang Xiu shouted: "Waltz of Light."

The golden light suddenly burst out in front of him, and countless golden energies like tulip petals combined into a tornado-like form towards the rushing Dumb, and the brilliant energy made everyone watching the battle outside the altar dazzled.

This is Mangxiu's stunt, the golden tulip in his hand, is compressed by his decades of penance with the light element, can summon a powerful light magic in the shortest possible time, with a few words, according to his own years of research on the energy characteristics of this compressed tulip, Mang Xiu has studied the magic of this waltz of light, specially used for self-defense, every piece of tulip energy he emitted, with a huge magic power, the sharp petals, each piece has a powerful penetrating power to death.

This magic was also fully studied by Manxiu in recent years, and even if all the energy of the tulips was used up at once, he would be able to make another one in a short period of time.

Suddenly seeing the golden petals lit up in front of Mang Xiu's body, Dumb was also surprised, but his life change has reached the realm of the sixth change, the solid life and life fighting spirit is almost the guest star of all magic, and the highly compressed fighting spirit will not be afraid of magic that is lower than his own energy at all, Dumb can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, although he was surprised in his heart, but it did not affect his attack, and the momentum of the forward rush not only did not stagnate, but accelerated the speed.

His hands kept flying in the air, conjuring up various hand shapes, and the large silver fighting spirit seeped out from every part of his body, and crashed into the tornado of tulip petals.

The petals containing huge energy, under the indestructible life and change of the fighting spirit penetrated, could no longer exert their due power, the gold and silver light continued to burst into the air one after another, and the pieces of golden light disappeared in the gorgeous.

After breaking the waltz of light, the silver douqi silk attacked Mang Xiu without stopping, Mang Xiu gritted his teeth, closed his hands, and collected the tulips in his hand, when the silver douqi silk hit a foot in front of him, he opened his palms and pushed forward.

A powerful pillar of golden light suddenly slammed out, it was a pure light element containing a huge amount of compressed energy, and although the silver fighting spirit was not offset under the impact of the golden light, it was also blown away and flew up, and it could no longer hurt Mang Xiu.

Dumb was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought, these red-clothed sacrifices really deserve their reputation, and they are really difficult to deal with, but Mang Xiu's stubborn resistance also completely stimulated Dumb's inner fighting spirit, and he shouted, and in the face of the huge light energy that came from the impact, he did not dodge or dodge, and conjured up a huge silver energy sword that was five feet long, half a foot wide, and three inches thick, and suddenly slashed towards the pillar of light that rushed in front of him.

With a bang, a piercing sound like metal friction sounded, and the pillar of light emitted by Manxiu with his condensed mana was actually split in half by Dumb's sword, and golden energy poured out from both sides of his body, not causing a single death injury at all.

Dumb followed the sword, the silver giant sword mercilessly slashed towards Mang Xiu, the huge energy brought by the giant sword, made Mang Xiu's heart shocked, he never thought that he did not hesitate to give up the tulips that had been condensed for a long time, and he had not yet blocked Dumb's attack, the huge silver energy sword made him feel that death was so close to him for the first time since he became a red-clothed sacrifice.

Time no longer allowed him to recite high-level spells, and in desperation, he had to urge all his magic power and lay a layer of golden energy enchantment in front of him, although he knew that this was not enough to resist Dumb's attack, but he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

Just when Dumb rushed to three meters in front of Mang Xiu's body, Yuma's magic was completed, he and Mang Xiu have always had a deep friendship, how could he watch his old friend injured under Dumb's sword.

When Dumb rushed to Mang Xiu before, he had already taken out his magic weapon Staff of Light, and under the amplification of the staff, he used the seventh-level light attack magic of the Sword of Light God at the fastest speed, and the huge golden lightsaber was finally formed when Mang Xiu was in crisis, and suddenly slashed towards Dumb's back, thinking about it, even if his magic can't hurt Dumb, it will definitely be able to resolve Mang Xiu's crisis.

However, everything can really be as smooth as he imagined Feeling the powerful aura coming from behind, Dumb did not panic at all, his body suddenly accelerated in mid-air, and the momentum of the forward rush did not change, and he actually fought with the golden lightsaber that feathered down, and the silver giant sword soared three feet under his full force, and it had already slashed in front of Mang Xiu in an instant.

The light element energy wall laid by Mang Xiu couldn't resist the powerful sword of life and change at all, as if it was not hindered in any way, the silver light had penetrated the golden energy wall and slashed in front of Mang Xiu, Mang Xiu secretly exclaimed, I am dying, my eyes are closed, waiting for death to come, he never thought that he had been crisscrossing the continent for many years, and he would die at the hands of a young man on this occasion, and the depression in his heart made his face pale, One of the four cardinal priests of the Holy See, at this time, had completely given up resistance.

In just a few minutes, Dumb's performance has stunned all the spectators, and when he promised to accept an unfair test, who would have thought that he would be able to become the main attacker Dumb came to the Holy See to find his beloved, how could he kill casually When the silver sword in his hand was about to slash to the top of Mang Xiu's head, his wrist flipped over, and the sword of life and change changed from slashing to slapping, hitting the top of Mang Xiu's head, his purpose was just to temporarily knock Mang Xiu unconscious.

At this moment, a broken cry sounded in Dumb's ears like thunder, and the huge sound of "bold" was like the soul magic used by the four elders of the Yajin clan at the beginning, which shocked Dumb's heart, and the silver sword in his hand subconsciously eased up.

In less than a tenth of a second of his time, the sword of the god of light had already slashed behind him, and at the same time, a golden lightning in the sky also slashed down.

This golden lightning is the judgment of the gods used by Xuanye, when Dumb attacked Mangxiu, Xuanye used all his spiritual power with the help of the wrath of the gods, and successfully used the eighth-level attack on the judgment of the magic god, and there was a thick golden cloud floating above the altar of light, and the golden lightning of the rough bucket was emitted from the golden cloud.

The huge divine power instantly enveloped the dumb in front of Mang Xiu's body.

The sense of fear quickly spread to Dumb's body, and the guardian ring in his hand emitted a layer of white halo to cover his body in a timely manner, Dumb knew that if he stunned Mang Xiu with this sword, even if he was strong, and resisted with the combined attack of his body and Yuma and Xuanye, he would inevitably be seriously injured under the blow of two huge energies above his head and behind him, and it was a question whether he could have the strength to fight again, for his own safety, in desperation, he had to withdraw the long sword that he had chopped out, and the silver energy was instantly transformed into a thick light mask, Protect his body in it.

With a loud bang, the golden lightsaber between the feathers and the lightning that slashed down from the sky slammed heavily on Dumb's silver energy shield, and the gold and silver light surged up, completely enveloping the entire altar of light.

Wrapped in light, Dumb's body trembled violently, and under the joint attack of the two red-clothed priests, even with his skills, he couldn't help but snort, his body shook, and he unconsciously fell forward a step, this step made him just come to Mang Xiu's body.

Mang Xiu had already come to his senses when Xuanye shouted the word bold, and seeing that Dumb had received two heavy blows in succession, he seemed to have no strength to attack him, and hurriedly conjured up a ball of golden magic energy and suddenly blasted towards Dumb's chest.

His judgment was correct, under the attack of Xuanye and Yuma, the meridians in Dumb's body were shocked to a certain extent, and he had not fully reacted, and had already met Mangxiu's attack.

Mangxiu's energy group was much weaker than Yuma and Xuanya's attacks, but the Dumb condensed just now was mainly used to defend the top and back of his head, and after taking on the attack, the energy shield had already loosened, and Mangxiu's energy group successfully penetrated the outer defenses and hit him on the chest.

The golden light flashed, and Dumb's body was blown up, and the ordinary energy conjured up by the inner layer of the Guardian Ring was not enough to resist Mangxiu's attack.

He rolled in the air a few times and landed on the edge of the Altar of Light, a mouthful of blood snatching out, and in carelessness, he was already injured.

If Dumb hadn't been soft just now, even if Genya and Yuma could attack him in time, Mang Xiu would inevitably die under the Life Transformation Energy Sword, but it was precisely because of the kindness in his heart that he was attacked so heavily.

Yuma and Mangshu took advantage of the gap between Dumb's repulsion and quickly chanted a spell, but the judgment of the gods in Genya was not over, and another golden lightning blasted towards Dumb under his command.

The exclamation came from a distance outside the altar of light, and Dumb clearly felt that it was Xuanyue's voice, and the love in his heart was surging, and in the midst of great danger, he used the wish of Goris.

"Boom" The golden lightning bombarded the altar of light, the altar of light has been blessed by dozens of generations of masters of the Holy See, and contains a huge amount of energy, even the judgment of the gods cannot hurt it in the slightest, only a black mark appeared on the ground of the altar, and not even a slight crack remained.

Xuanye was surprised to find that Dumb had disappeared and was not attacked by himself.

When Dumb's figure reappeared, he was already in the center of the altar of light.

The huge and cold momentum suddenly came out, and Dumb said coldly: "You forced me, I'm sorry, I want you to see what the true strength of the Sword Master is."

In the long whistle, Dumb floated up, and under the effect of the vigorous fighting spirit, he soared into the sky.

His hands were wrong, and his figure swayed quickly in the air, and a silver whirlwind spontaneously appeared, spinning wildly.

Although Xuanye was surprised in his heart, he did not hesitate at all, he couldn't lose today's battle, not only for his good brother Babulun, but also for the honor of himself and the Holy See, the wrath of the gods suddenly shone, and the golden light cloud in the air concentrated all the energy and split out three lightning bolts one after another, heading straight for the dumb in the air, this is the final attack of the judgment of the gods, it condenses the most powerful attack power of this eighth-level magic, especially the first of the three lightnings, the lightning that is as thick as one meter, it seems that it is not at all that human beings can resist.

When lightning from God's judgment descended on Dumb's head, a mutation occurred.

The crystal silver light met the judgment of the gods in the form of a whirlwind, and something unexpected happened to everyone, when the three lightning bolts came into contact with the silver whirlwind, the huge divine energy was unloaded under the traction of the silver whirlwind, and flew towards the periphery of the altar of light, without any head-on conflict with the silver energy.

The Pope secretly screamed badly, and his hands conjured up a cloud of golden light, and met the lightning bolt that slashed towards the Temple of Light, which was the strongest blow of the God's Judgment.

After all, the Pope is the leader of the Holy See, the closest person to God in the Tian Yuan Continent, and although the power of God's judgment is strong, it can't hurt him in the slightest.

The low chanting sounded, and the energy emitted by the Pope suddenly transformed into the appearance of an angel, and the huge divine power crashed towards the lightning like a vortex, and the two golden rays of light made a muffled sound in the air, and the golden lightning rushed into the vortex and disappeared without any explosion.

However, when the Pope dissolved this strongest lightning, the other two divine judgments also slashed at each other, and he was too late to do so.

One rushed to the guests who had come to watch the ceremony, and the other flew towards the clergy of the Holy See.

Among the guests, Xi Wen, Liao Wen, Feng Wen, and Lu Wen stepped forward, two yellow, two green and four rays of light intertwined in the air into a huge yellow-green light network, successfully captured the energy of God's Judgment, under the effect of the solid energy of life, the golden lightning of God's Judgment was finally successfully dissolved, but Xi Wen and the four of them also withdrew a few steps one after another to stabilize their bodies, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock, when they really faced it, they knew how powerful this eighth-level magic was, and only then did they really understand the evaluation of magic by Tiangang Sword Saint at the beginning.
