Chapter 1 When Does Evil Arrive?

How could I not sense the evil spirit behind me? Not just me, even Uncle didn't sense it!

Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill in his heart. Before he could turn his head, he saw a dazzling brass-colored light behind him. At that moment, Zhang Yuanqing trembled and felt fear beyond his control, like an ant facing the rage of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Then he saw the sharp and overbearing brass-colored aura tearing apart the box, tearing apart the wall, exposing the dark void.

"Huh? Why am I okay?"

Zhang Yuanqing quickly calmed his inner fear and began to examine himself.

Not only him, but Zhai Cai beside him, and the vampire Augusto not far away, had also survived in the strong brass-colored aura.

However, their bodies all showed a virtual projection texture, as if from another world.

Zhang Yuanqing looked down again and saw that his body was also in the void. Uncle pulled us into an "intangible" state?

Zhang Yuanqing had an understanding in his heart. This was the same as the effect of the sliding shoes, one of the strongest life-saving skills of the Void Wanderer.

Wearing a burgundy suit and a silver mask, Uncle tsked, "Our target for this trip has appeared."

Zhang Yuanqing turned his head sharply and looked over. He saw a humanoid figure in golden armor standing about five meters behind him. The style of the armor was the same as that of the Knights of the Holy See, except that there was no face mask. It was armed to the teeth and looked heavy and clumsy.

Inside the helmet without a face mask was a pale, rotten face with a high nose and deep eyes, a full beard, and gray-white, deathly eyes.

In addition, this humanoid figure in golden armor held a golden knight's longsword in his hand. The brass-colored aura that tore apart the space just now was slashed out by this sword.

Zhai Cai stared at the pale, rotten face, his tone a mixture of joy and sorrow, "He is the Holy Knight Simon Rodney, a demigod who died in the battle to destroy the Holy See. I've seen him in a dungeon. He was an upright and brave knight."

Zhang Yuanqing sighed, "He has been dead for a hundred years, and his remnant spirit has not yet dissipated, still guarding the Holy See's treasure vault."

As he spoke, darkness surged in his eye sockets, and a majestic yin energy surged on his body, automatically outlining seals that connected to form an arrow, which suddenly shot out.

The corpse of the Holy Knight stood still, allowing the arrow composed of seals to scatter into wisps of yin energy on the armor.

"The armor and sword on him are demigod items of the Knight profession," Uncle said. "They protect the remnant spirit in the armor."

"At the beginning, the Pope threw the Holy Knight's corpse directly into the treasure vault, not without the idea of using his remnant spirit to guard this place. Tsk, a bit troublesome. The remnant spirit is driven by instinct, manipulating this armor, and its combat power is quite considerable."

Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai looked at the Chairman together, and said in unison, "Leave it to you."

As soon as the words fell, a mental wave came from the golden armor: The rules of this battle are: No fleeing the battlefield, no hiding in the void.

The golden sword in the Holy Knight's hand swayed, and brass-colored ripples spread out from the blade.

The rules of the treasure vault space were modified, and the four of them fell out of the void state, their bodies becoming tangible.

Chairman used the Void skill again, his body changed between the virtual and the real, and finally successfully hid in the void, but the bodies of Zhang Yuanqing and the other two were fixed in a real state after the virtual and real changes.

Failed to enter the void.

Chairman snapped his fingers. "Banish!"

No one disappeared from the scene. Chairman tsked and said, "A random law is comparable to a rule-type item. Its level is half a level lower than mine, so it can't really imprison me, but your ranks are too low and you are suppressed by the rules."

"Unable to hide in the void, unable to teleport away, what should we do?" Zhai Cai's tone was anxious.

At this time, the Holy Knight held his sword behind him, his knees sinking, and charged towards Zhang Yuanqing.

His speed was extremely fast, and all everyone could see was a flash of yellow light.

The next second, he would smash Yuan Shi Tian Zun. Yuan Shi Tian Zun transformed into a pure current and struck into the distance. Where the lightning struck, Zhang Yuanqing's body condensed, and he felt a burst of fear.

When the Holy Knight launched his charge, he definitely didn't react. There was a kind of fear and powerlessness that mortals feel when facing bullets. If he hadn't obtained the Boots of Lightning and had always been steady, equipping this item in advance, he would have been sent back to the Lingjing Xingzhe just now.

Seeing this scene, Zhai Cai felt even more flustered. If it were him, he would not be able to dodge it and could only withstand it head-on. With the intensity of that attack just now, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Rule-type items were already very tricky, and any law of the Holy Knight was a rule.

It was terrifying!

"Chairman, what should we do?" Zhai Cai shouted.

"Don't panic, young man, you're not calm at all," Chairman said lightly. Although he said so, the look in his eyes under the mask was unusually solemn, without the slightest hint of ease.

The Holy Knight's sword missed, his body rotated, and he slashed out a brilliant sword light towards the four of them, driving the longsword.

Chairman gently raised his hand and pushed it forward. The space in front of him suddenly solidified, showing a three-dimensional sense like an ice block, blocking the overwhelming terrifying sword light.

Seeing this, the Holy Knight jumped up and slashed down on the ice-like space with his sword. "Crack!" It shattered, and then returned to normal.

Chairman and the Holy Knight collided, engaging in close combat. Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai couldn't see the two men's moves at all. All they heard was a rumbling sense of impact and exaggerated spatial fluctuations.

The props hanging on the wall fell one after another, the boxes overturned, and the materials scattered all over the floor.

Uncle used an elbow to swing away the Holy Knight's sword, and then unleashed a set of quick and rapid Wing Chun punches on the enemy's chest, making the armor clatter.

With a final palm strike, he knocked him away.

"Cool!" Zhai Cai cheered loudly. Zhang Yuanqing was also taken aback. He didn't expect that this family disgrace, who only knew how to run, actually had such excellent close combat skills. You must know that the knight's close combat ability is among the top five in all professions.

Chairman chuckled and said smugly, "Did you really think I only know how to run? The Void Wanderer also has a talent bonus for fighting. If I didn't have some skills, I would have been beaten to death when I stole people's treasures in the early and middle stages. How could I have survived to the late stage?"

After saying that, he rushed towards the Holy Knight aggressively. "Bang!" As soon as he went into battle, Chairman tumbled back to the two of them in a mess.

The joy in Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai's eyes was still there, but their faces slowly froze.

The vampire Augusto swiftly and silently shrank back into his silver coffin and closed the lid. He decided to spend the rest of his life in the coffin.

"Cough, cough," Chairman said in a deep voice, "It seems like I stimulated this guy and awakened his fighting instinct."

Not far away, the Holy Knight stood proudly, his armor releasing a strong golden light, like the return of the Dragon King.

Zhai Cai's face was tense. "Now, what should we do now?"

As soon as he asked this question, he saw the Holy Knight jump high, raise his longsword, and perform a jump slash at them.

Chairman grabbed two props from the void and threw them to them, saying quickly, "Put them on."

It was the Explorer's Hat and Explorer's Coat he had lent to the two of them before.

Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai quickly put on their hats and coats.

Chairman supported a spatial barrier to buy time for the two of them.

"Crack!"

The solidified space shattered like glass. The Holy Knight, who had broken through the obstruction, landed heavily, but did not continue to attack the three of them.

Instead, he stood there woodenly, lost track of his target, and looked around blankly.

Chairman said, "No matter how strong he is, he is still a remnant spirit. The remnant spirit has limited intelligence and is easily influenced. Now he can't see us."

"However, this state can only last for ten seconds at most. He will react and formulate a rule that can't be low-key."

Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged his old uncle, "Then what are you waiting for? You are a complete demigod anyway, you can't even deal with this kind of evil spirit?"

"Bullshit, I can take on three top demigods at once." Uncle reprimanded his nephew's rudeness and sighed, "But it's not cost-effective to spend money on this kind of low-intelligence enemy."

The Merchant profession is the only profession that can spend money.

Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the props and materials in the treasure vault. "These are all windfall wealth, you can spend it as you like!"

"Hurry up and suppress this thing."

Uncle said unhappily, "Stupid spendthrift! If these things are spent, wouldn't we have come here for nothing?"

Zhai Cai's blood pressure soared, and he said angrily, "Ten seconds are almost up, don't waste time on useless disputes."

If he hadn't been afraid of Chairman's identity as a Void Wanderer demigod, he would have already cursed him out with the most profane language.

He had never seen such a demigod, who didn't have the demeanor of a senior at all.

"I told you not to worry. Hasty youth leads to sloppy work." Chairman flicked his finger, and the silver coffin in the distance was forced to roll over. Augusto, who was preparing to spend the rest of his life in the coffin, rolled out.

Augusto, who didn't know he had been betrayed, had just rolled out of the coffin when he saw the golden Holy Knight stiffly turning his neck and looking at him.

His face changed drastically immediately, and without thinking, his flesh and blood disintegrated into bats, fleeing towards the other end of the treasure vault, leaving an inconspicuous little bat in the coffin.

The Holy Knight noticed the movement and chased after him with his sword.

Chairman didn't pay attention to the vampire's situation and said quickly, "I've thought of a way. The remnant spirit is protected by armor. If you want to save the spirit, you must first seal the armor. The Eternal Night we got just now can reduce the activity of this armor. After that, I will set up a seal formation to subdue this armor. But you have to buy me two minutes."

Two minutes? I can't even last ten seconds! Zhai Cai muttered in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface: "Chairman, please don't waste time."

At this time, Augusto's flesh and blood differentiated into bats and were annihilated in the Holy Knight's sword light.

The Holy Knight, who had lost his target, became dazed and confused again. Chairman had quietly slipped to the corner, squatted down, and took out a half-person-high black stone platform, using his finger as a knife to carve complex and profound runes on the stone surface.

Zhang Yuanqing took out the Devouring Beast and threw it to Zhai Cai, "Delay him for a while, I want to check the set effects."

He wanted to check the set effects just now, but the Holy Knight suddenly interrupted him.

Zhai Cai took the ink jade Pixiu and after reading the attributes, he felt relieved. He put the Devouring Beast into his inventory, took it out again, and placed it on his head. Then, he took the three tubes of Life Source Fluid that Yuan Shi Tian Zun handed over and stuck them into the veins of his neck, injecting them all into his body.

Zhang Yuanqing took out the four thunder orbs and one thunder spear from the Thunder God Set. The thunder orbs automatically attached to his right arm, chest, both feet, and forehead.

The moment the set was equipped, a dazzling bright blue light engulfed him.

Thick electric snakes danced wildly along the void.

The dim treasure vault became bright, and the aura of destruction filled every space.

The low-key state was broken. The Holy Knight twisted his stiff head and looked over.

The next second, he turned into a brass-colored stream of light and swept towards Zhang Yuanqing. Zhai Cai, who had been prepared for a long time, strode forward, planted his knight's longsword, and the brass-colored light shone, constructing a thick wall in front of him.

The Holy Knight's longsword shattered the protective wall erected by Zhai Cai with irresistible force, and then hastily blocked it with his sword. With a sound, the knight's longsword in Zhai Cai's hand shattered, but because the Devouring Beast devoured most of the power, the golden sword only hit Zhai Cai's shoulder and embedded itself in the bone, without severing the entire arm.

Zhai Cai kicked the Holy Knight in the chest, but the other party didn't move at all. He borrowed the force and flew backwards. The Life Source Fluid quickly healed the wound on his shoulder. He turned his head and shouted, "Come and help!"

"Paralyzed, this set is very suitable for posing."

In his sight, Yuan Shi Tian Zun was wrapped in electric light, his hair standing on end with the electric light flickering, and the electromagnetic armor covered his whole body. The blood vessels on his face had carbonized to form black lines, giving him a kind of god-like fallen beauty, like a fallen thunder god.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Holy Knight with a blank expression, his blue and white eye sockets emotionless because he couldn't see his eyeballs.

He suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a path of electric arcs flashing in the air, and came to the Holy Knight.

He conjured a thunder orb in his palm and pressed it against the Holy Knight's chest. Boom! Electric plasma burst out, and the Holy Knight flew out.
