Bleach Stronger by AFK Chapter 316: Human Traitor
Chapter 317 Human Traitor
When Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu arrived on the first floor, they saw a bright light on the surface of the door.
After breaking the trial rules and forcing their way to the fifth floor, the artificial intelligence of the Star Refining Tower seemed to disappear, neither making a sound nor preventing them from leaving.
I don’t know if it’s because he and Lu Qiu decided that all the personnel on duty were killed, and according to the so-called ‘Star Clan Trial Rules 132’, their violations will no longer be investigated.
"I didn't expect to finish exploring the Star Refining Tower so smoothly." Lu Qiu looked back at the bright square.
Lin Lichuan nodded slightly. After all, the Star Refining Tower was a training ground for the Morning Star Knights, and all the personnel on duty had turned into skeletons. The defensive force was useless, so naturally there was no way to stop the two Bright Moon Knights.
"There is still one month of exploration time. We might as well explore the entire ruins. We may be able to find other discoveries. What do you think, Achuan?" Lu Qiu asked.
"I have no problem." Lin Lichuan shrugged, "I can hunt star beasts and exotic beasts by the way. This ruins is a big treasure for me."
During the conversation, the gate of the Star Refining Tower slowly opened with a low rumble. The two people passed through the gap and came to the outside of the Star Refining Tower.
The moment the sunshine and green forest came into view, Lin Lichuan suddenly felt a numbness in his scalp, a cold air suddenly shot up from his back, and his heart suddenly tightened as if being grasped by an invisible big hand.
Without any hesitation, he decisively unlocked the Heavenly Lock and Zhanyue. At the same time, his face was instantly covered with a white mask, and he entered a virtual state.
The next second after finishing all this, Lin Lichuan felt a ghostly figure coming to him and Lu Qiu quietly, and two dry ghost claws were revealed from under the gray robe. Like palms, one on the left and one on the right, patted him and Lu Qiu respectively.
The joints of the palm were protruding and the skin was shriveled, like the aging palm of an old man in his 60s. However, it was wrapped with countless filaments of dark energy, giving people a strong sense of danger. In just an instant, it disappeared silently. Attacked in front of Lin Lichuan.
It was too late to use Crescent Moon Chong at this distance. Many thoughts flashed through Lin Lichuan's mind for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly condensed. Black spiritual pressure burst out from his body and quickly condensed on the blade of the sword. As he waved, The sword slashed forward and exploded in an instant.
Black and sharp teeth!
The palm shrouded in black mist and the thick black spiritual pressure collided fiercely tit-for-tat in the void.
No sound erupted, and the void where the two collided instantly became distorted, erupting into a terrifying wave that was silent but seemed to be able to destroy everything.
As if a long time had passed, and as if only a moment had passed, the sudden burst of spiritual pressure from the Black Fang was completely annihilated. Fortunately, the strength of his withered palm had been exhausted, and Lin Lichuan finally blocked this intense death feeling. A blow of fear.
However, there was no joy on his face, because he quickly realized that the reason why he could block the blow was not because he was not strong enough, but because the attacker focused more on Lu Qiu. body.
The main target of the opponent's sneak attack was not him, but Lu Qiu, who was stronger and more threatening.
Glancing out of the corner of the eye, you can see that the palm attacking Lu Qiu is almost completely wrapped in black energy. Just looking at it makes people feel heart palpitations from the bottom of their hearts.
Lu Qiu's reaction was not as good as Lin Lichuan's. He barely reacted until the attack almost touched his body.
The moment before she was about to be hit, a bright light burst out from the necklace around her neck, spreading rapidly in all directions with her as the center.
The moment he was swept by the light, the attacker's figure stagnated slightly. The countless black energy filaments wrapped around his palm suddenly lost one-fifth, followed by a ring worn by Lu Qiu on the little finger of his right hand. The small and delicate ring shattered with another click, and a thick and indestructible aura emerged from it, turning into an khaki shield about fifty centimeters in diameter and appearing out of thin air in front of the attacker's palm.
Click!
The palm of the hand was heavily imprinted on the shield's light and shadow, and the black energy filaments were instantly reduced by one-fifth. The price paid was that the shield's light and shadow shattered like glass, turning into countless light particles and dissipating.
However, the destruction of the two high-level extraordinary guardian props gave Lu Qiu a chance to breathe. Violent spatial fluctuations immediately appeared and gathered in front of the attacker's palm. The withered palm suddenly seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. The speed suddenly became sluggish.
However, this only lasted for an instant. As the black energy filaments decreased at an alarming speed, the palm returned to its original speed, imprinting firmly and irresistibly on Lu Qiu's abdomen.
In an instant, Lu Qiu's face turned pale.
"Let's go!"
Lin Lichuan felt his arm tighten and was grabbed by Lu Qiu's tentative hand. The next second, his eyes flashed. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was no longer in front of the Star Refining Tower, but somewhere in the forest.
Lu Qiuyou did not stop, and led Lin Lichuan to flash forward several times in a row. It was not until he came to a river that he finally couldn't hold on any longer. He staggered forward and was about to fall forward, but Lin Lichuan caught him in time.
Until then, Lin Lichuan was shocked to realize that the girl's face had become very pale without any trace of blood on her face. What was even more shocking was her abdomen, where there was a clear palm print. The clothes have completely turned into powder and dissipated, leaving a dark air lingering under the exposed snow-white skin, faintly exuding a heavy, cold, and secluded aura.
"You're hurt!"
Lin Lichuan's expression changed slightly. Lu Qiu's condition at this time was obviously that he had suffered a very serious injury.
Lu Qiu waved his hand, took out a bottle of emerald green liquid potion from the storage space, and drank it. As the potion spread, a touch of rosy blood finally appeared on his face.
But the black air in her abdomen still shows no sign of fading.
"This is a special attack that combines dark attribute energy with dark elemental energy. Recovery medicine cannot cure it and can only be expelled by the energy in the body." Lu Qiu frowned, and his pale face showed an unprecedented seriousness, "I didn't expect it. That guy actually appears here."
"Who?" Lin Lichuan asked with a frown.
"Selte Rodrigo, the chief priest of the Qiming Sect and the deputy chief executioner of the execution center. He is an extremely rare dark element user, and he also practices a dark attribute martial arts technique. This kind of The fighting method that combines dark element energy with dark attribute energy is unique to him in the entire continent, and I will never admit it!" Lu Qiu gritted her silver teeth.
"It's the Qiming Cult again." Lin Lichuan frowned, "What level of Knight of the Bright Moon is this man named Selt?"
"Level 30." Lu Qiu smiled bitterly.
Lin Lichuan took a deep breath. No wonder that man put so much pressure on him. If Selt hadn't used most of his power to deal with Lu Qiu, he would have been hit long ago. Instant kill.
You can tell by looking at Lu Qiu's situation at this time. At the cost of destroying two high-level extraordinary guardian items, she was still seriously injured by Selt's palm.
Level 30 is only two biological energy levels higher than level 28, but their strengths are completely different.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but look angry.
“It’s so shameless for the majestic Peak Knight of the Moon to use such a clumsy sneak attack against a weaker opponent than himself!”
Lu Qiu said softly: "The execution center of the Qiming Cult is specifically responsible for dealing with some shady matters. Every member will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. As the deputy chief executioner, Selt is no exception."
"Are you familiar with the Qiming Cult?"
Lu Qiu replied: "The Enlightenment Sect has little reputation in the southern part of the mainland and the other three regions, but it is a notorious organization in the central region of the continent. They worship the Star Clan and believe that the Star Clan will return to the mainland sooner or later. The irresistible force conquers the entire human race. Therefore, the Qiming Sect has always been aiming to weaken the human race and has been secretly carrying out sabotage activities. It is either provoking conflicting wars among major forces or assassinating various geniuses of the human race. If not for their secretive whereabouts , has long been uprooted by the major heraldic families of the Qingkong Dynasty."
After hearing this, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Although I had expected that the Qiming Cult was not a good person, I didn’t expect that it was actually a traitorous organization. As a human being, it actually planned to help foreign races invade the human race. I don’t know what those guys were thinking in their minds?
Lin Lichuan subconsciously recalled the various behaviors of the Qiming Sect that he had seen before, including the mercenary leader who smuggled arms, the leader of the resistance forces in Baiguan Province, and Lu Meng who was lurking in the Zhou family with the intention of provoking conflicts between the Zhou and Gu families. Zheng, and Giadanzo who intervened in the civil war between the crown prince of the Tania Empire... In the past, they used to think that the Enlightenment Cult was only acting evil, but now it seems that every action they take is clearly premeditated, in order to provoke a civil war among the human race. So as to weaken the strength of the human race.
It just happened that all these things were ruined by him.
"I'm sorry~IndoMTL.com~ It's me who has caused you trouble. The Qiming Cult and I have a lot of grievances. This time they are probably coming for me." Lin Lichuan said apologetically.
Lu Qiu smiled palely, shook his head and said softly: "Achuan, I am a direct descendant of the heraldry family, and I have the power of a knight. I am naturally the assassination target of the Qiming Sect. Once they find out that I have left the center of the continent, When the region comes to the south, they will definitely not let me go."
"It's just that I didn't expect that it was Selt who took action. One of the five great priests went deep into the Ring of Sighs to hunt us down. The Qiming Sect really thinks highly of us." Although he said it like a joke, Lu Qiu's expression was not relaxed at all, but was filled with solemnity.
Lin Lichuan also frowned deeply. He vaguely remembered that there were two men in gray robes near the Star Refining Tower at that time. They were obviously members of the Qiming Sect, but it didn't matter anymore. With just one Celtic, he and Even Lu Qiu couldn't deal with it together, let alone Lu Qiu who was still seriously injured.
"The top priority right now is to find a place to hide so that you can concentrate on recovering from your injuries."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Lichuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright, and he already had a calculation in his heart.
