When did the evil spirit get behind me? I didn't even sense it. No, it wasn't just me, Uncle didn't sense it either!
Zhang Yuanqing's heart tightened. Before he could turn around, he saw a dazzling bronze light erupting behind him. At that moment, Zhang Yuanqing uncontrollably shuddered and felt fear, like an ant facing the wrath of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Then, he saw a sharp and domineering bronze aura tearing through the boxes, tearing through the walls, and exposing the dark and empty void.
"Huh? Why am I okay?"
Zhang Yuanqing quickly calmed his inner fear and began to examine himself.
Not only him, but also Zhai Cai beside him, and the vampire Augusto not far away, had survived the powerful bronze energy.
However, their bodies all exhibited a kind of virtual projection texture, as if they were from another world.
Zhang Yuanqing looked down again and saw that his body was also in the void. Uncle, pulled us into an "un-lockable void" state?
Zhang Yuanqing understood. This was the same effect as the Sliding Shoes, and it was one of the strongest life-saving skills of the Void class.
Uncle, wearing a burgundy suit and a silver mask, tsked, "Our target for this trip has appeared."
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly turned his head to look. About five meters behind him stood a humanoid figure wearing golden armor. The style of the armor was the same as that of the Knights of the Holy See, except that there was no face guard. It was fully armed, looking heavy and clumsy.
Inside the helmet without a face guard was a pale, rotten face with a high nose, deep eyes, a full beard, and grayish-white, lifeless eyeballs.
In addition, this humanoid figure wearing golden armor held a golden knight's straight sword. The bronze energy that had just torn through space was from this sword.
Zhai Cai stared at the pale, rotten face, his tone both joyful and sorrowful, "He is the Paladin Simon, Rodney, a demigod who died in the battle to destroy the Holy See. I saw him in a copy. 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 treasury."
As he spoke, his eye sockets surged with darkness, and a majestic Yin energy surged on his body, automatically outlining sealing talismans that connected into an arrow, which suddenly shot out.
The Paladin's corpse stood still, allowing the arrow composed of talismans to strike the armor and dissipate into wisps of swaying Yin energy.
"The armor and sword on him are demigod items of the Knight class," Uncle said. "They protect the remnant spirit inside the armor."
"In the beginning, the Pope threw the Paladin's body directly into the treasury, and he wanted to use his remnant spirit to guard this place. Tsk, it's a bit troublesome. The remnant spirit is driven by instinct, controlling this armor, and its combat power is considerable."
Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai looked at the Chairman together and said in unison, "It's up to you."
As soon as the words fell, a mental wave came from the golden armor: The rules of this battle are: no escaping the battlefield, no hiding in the void.
The Paladin held the golden straight sword, and ripples of bronze spread from the blade.
The rules of the treasure space were modified, and the four fell out of the void state, their bodies becoming solid.
The Chairman cast the void skill again. His body changed between the real and the virtual, and finally successfully hid in the void. However, after the bodies of Zhang Yuanqing and the others changed between the real and the virtual, they were fixed in a real state.
Failed to enter the void.
The Chairman snapped his fingers, "Banishment!"
No one disappeared from the scene. The Chairman tsked, "Just a random edict is comparable to a rule-based 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 asked anxiously.
At this moment, the Paladin held his sword behind him, lowered his knees and charged towards Zhang Yuanqing.
His speed was extremely fast. In everyone's vision, they only saw a streak of yellow light shooting out.
In the next second, he would smash Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun turned into a pure electric current and struck into the distance. The lightning struck the ground, Zhang Yuanqing's body condensed, and his heart was filled with fear.
When the Paladin launched the charge, he certainly did not react. He had a kind of fear and powerlessness of mortals facing bullets. If he had not obtained the Lightning Boots and had always been stable, equipping this item in advance, that blow would have directly sent him back to The Way of the Extraordinary.
Seeing this scene, Zhai Cai felt even more panicked. If it were him, he would not be able to dodge it at all and could only resist it head-on. With the intensity of that blow just now, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
Rule-based items are already very tricky, and any edict from the Paladin is a rule.
Simply terrifying!
"Chairman, what should we do?" Zhai Cai shouted.
"Don't panic, young man, you are not calm at all." The Chairman said lightly. Although he said that, the look in his eyes under the mask was extremely solemn, without any ease.
The Paladin's sword missed, his body rotated, and he slashed out a brilliant sword light towards the four of them.
The Chairman lightly raised his hand and pushed forward with his palm. The space in front suddenly solidified, showing a three-dimensional sense like an ice cube, blocking the overwhelming and terrifying sword light.
Seeing this, the Paladin jumped up and slashed down on the ice-like space. "Crack" The ice shattered and then returned to normal.
The Chairman and the Paladin collided together, and there was a close fight. Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai couldn't see the two of them making moves at all. All they heard was the rumbling impact and the exaggerated space fluctuations.
The props hanging on the wall fell one after another, the boxes overturned, and the materials were scattered all over the ground.
Uncle's elbow swung away the Paladin's sword, and he launched a set of fast and rapid Wing Chun punches at the enemy's chest, making the armor rattle.
The final palm sent him flying.
"Cool!" Zhai Cai shouted loudly. Zhang Yuanqing was also surprised. He didn't expect that this family loser who only knew how to run could have such excellent close combat ability. You must know that the Knight's close combat ability ranks among the top five in all classes.
The Chairman chuckled and said proudly: "Did you really think I only knew how to run? The Void class 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 mid-term. How could I have survived to the late stage?"
After saying that, he rushed towards the Paladin aggressively. "Bang!" The Chairman, who had just gone into battle, rolled back in embarrassment and returned to the two of them.
The joy in Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai's eyes was still there, but their faces slowly froze.
The vampire Augusto quickly and silently shrank back into his silver coffin and closed the lid. He decided to die in the coffin.
"Cough cough," the Chairman said in a deep voice, "It seems to have stimulated this guy and awakened his fighting instinct."
Not far away, the Paladin stood proudly, and the armor released a strong golden light, like the Dragon King returning.
Zhai Cai kept a straight face, "Now, what should we do now?"
As soon as he asked this question, he saw the Paladin jump high and raise his straight sword to perform a jump slash at them.
The Chairman grabbed two items from the void and threw them to them, saying quickly, "Put them on."
It was the Explorer's Hat and the Explorer's Coat that he had lent to the two of them before.
Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai quickly put on their hats and coats.
The Chairman supported the space barrier to buy time for the two of them.
"Crack!"
The solidified space shattered like glass. The Paladin, who had broken through the obstacles, landed heavily, but did not continue to attack the three of them.
Instead, he stood woodenly, having lost track of his traces, and looked around blankly.
The Chairman said, "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a remnant spirit. The remnant spirit has limited intelligence and is easily affected. Now he can't see us."
"However, this state can only last for ten seconds at most. He will react and set a rule of not being able to be low-key."
Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged, "Then what are you waiting for, Old Uncle? You are a complete demigod anyway, and you can't even deal with this kind of evil spirit?"
"Nonsense, I can take on three top demigods at a time." Uncle reprimanded his nephew's rudeness, and sighed: "But it's not cost-effective to spend money for this kind of low-intelligence enemy."
The Merchant class is the only class that can spend money.
Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the props and materials in the treasure house, "These are all windfall fortunes. Spend it as you like! Hurry up and suppress this thing."
Uncle said unhappily, "Stupid spendthrift! If we spend all these things, wouldn't we have come for nothing?"
Zhai Cai's blood pressure soared, and he roared: "Ten seconds are almost up, don't waste time on useless disputes."
If it weren't for the identity of the Chairman as a Void Demigod, he would have spewed out swear words and cursed with words full of "motherly love."
He had never seen such a demigod, without the demeanor of a senior expert at all.
"I told you not to worry, a young man is not reliable." The Chairman flicked his fingers, and the distant silver coffin was forced to tip over. Augusto, who was preparing to die in the coffin, rolled out.
Augusto, who didn't know he had been betrayed, just rolled out of the coffin when he saw the golden Paladin, stiffly twisting his neck, looking at himself.
His expression changed drastically immediately. Without thinking, his flesh and blood disintegrated into bats, and he fled to the other end of the treasure house, leaving an inconspicuous little bat in the coffin.
The Paladin noticed the movement and chased after him with his sword.
The Chairman didn't pay attention to the vampire's condition, and said quickly, "I have an idea. The remnant spirit is protected by the armor. If you want to transcend and cut down the spirit, you must first seal the armor. We just obtained the Eternal Night, which can reduce the activity of this armor. After that, I will set up a sealing 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 remained calm on the surface: "Chairman, please don't waste time."
At this time, Augusto's flesh and blood differentiated into bats, which were annihilated in the Paladin's sword light.
Losing his target, the Paladin became dazed and confused again. The Chairman had quietly slipped into the corner, squatted down, and took out a black stone platform that was half a person tall. Using his finger as a knife, he carved complex and profound runes on the stone surface.
Zhang Yuanqing took out the Sky Swallowing Beast and threw it to Zhai Cai, saying, "Delay him for a while, I want to see the set effect."
He wanted to see the set effect just now, but the Paladin suddenly interrupted him.
Zhai Cai took the jade Pixiu and after reading the attributes, his heart was relieved. He put the Sky Swallowing Beast into the item bar, took it out again, and placed it on top of his head. Then, he took the three tubes of Life Source Fluid handed over by Yuanshi Tianzun, inserted them into the jugular vein of his neck, and injected them into his body in one go.
Zhang Yuanqing took out the Thor set, four lightning orbs, and a lightning spear. The lightning orbs automatically attached to his right arm, chest, feet, and eyebrows.
The moment the set was put on, a dazzling and bright blue light swallowed him.
Thick electric snakes danced along the void.
The dim treasure house became bright, and the aura of destruction filled every space.
The low-key state was broken, and the Paladin twisted his stiff head and looked over.
In the next second, he turned into a stream of bronze light and swept towards Zhang Yuanqing. Zhai Cai, who had been prepared for a long time, strode forward, thrusting the knight's long sword into the ground, and a bronze light lit up, constructing a thick wall in front of him.
The Paladin's long sword shattered the guardian wall erected by Zhai Cai with the force of a bamboo shoot, and he hurriedly blocked it horizontally. With a sound, the knight's long sword in Zhai Cai's hand shattered, but because the Sky Swallowing Beast swallowed most of the power, the golden straight sword only struck Zhai Cai's shoulder, embedding itself in the bone, without cutting off his entire arm.
On the other side, Zhang Yuanqing, who activated the set effect, understood the set's ability. The Thor set's skill was called Wrath of Thor.
It allows the wearer to have the divine power of the early ninth level and control skills such as electromagnetic cannon, lightning flash, magnetization, lightning strike, electromagnetic protection, and thunder storm.
Lightning Bishops below the ninth level can only use it for three minutes. Lightning Bishops of the ninth level can wear it stably for a long time.
For non-Lightning Mage classes, the wearing time depends on the level. If it is also the ninth level, the wearing time is about three minutes. If you have self-healing and other abilities, the time will be extended.
Non-Lightning Mage classes below the ninth level can use it for one minute. If you have self-healing and other abilities, the time will be slightly extended.
In addition, he is constantly suffering from a paralyzing negative state, so it is not suitable for close combat during wearing.
Zhai Cai kicked the Paladin in the chest, but the other party didn't move at all. He flew backwards with the force, and the Life Source Fluid quickly healed the wound on his shoulder. He turned his head and shouted, "Come and help!"
"Paralysis, this set is very suitable for acting cool."
In his vision, Yuanshi Tianzun was covered in electric light, his hair standing on end, and the electric light flickered with fluorescent blue. The electromagnetic helmet covered his whole body, and the lightning mark on the center of his eyebrows was bright and dazzling.
The black lines formed by the carbonization of the blood vessels on his face had a kind of god-like fallen beauty, like a fallen Thor.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Paladin expressionlessly. The blue-and-white eye sockets seemed icy and ruthless because he couldn't see his eyeballs.
He suddenly disappeared, leaving a path of electric arc flashing in the air, and came to the Paladin's body.
He pinched a lightning orb in his palm and pressed it against the Paladin's chest. Boom! The plasma shot out, and the Paladin flew out.
