However, just as Yechen stepped back, intending to stay away from the long cross sword, its dark sword body, as if aware of Yechen's vigilance, once again burst into a dazzling holy light.
In the next second, countless light thorns erupted from the holy light, hitting Yechen's figure directly.
The young man's eyes changed, his body bent, he swung his arms and lifted the golden-patterned black hood to cover his whole body, and he was immediately blasted ten meters into the air by this thorn of light.
Chapter 0096 Instructor Knight Josk
Josk joined the Knights of the Holy Light at the age of ten and became a trainee knight. After that, he devoted himself to the Holy Lord Angrinoander for more than 40 years.
He grew up in a remote farm in the north of the Holy Light Pure Land, the son of a certain miller.
Before the age of ten, Josk’s life was no different from that of ordinary rural children. He read books, herded sheep, often stayed with his parents to help with farm work, and learned how to maintain the mill. That’s all, it’s as simple as that.
And his original life trajectory should have followed the wishes of his parents, becoming the next miller, managing the land passed down from his ancestors, and passing it on to the next generation in a normal way.
However, one day before Josk's tenth birthday, a strange figure appeared in the field near the mill, which shattered Josk's peaceful farm life, and even changed Josk's entire life trajectory.
This figure, holding a giant machete, against the sunny sky, walked silently into the idyllic countryside where Josk lived, and then... started killing without looking at the target or asking why.
When he brutally slaughtered all the villagers he saw in front of him, the man's face didn't even change at all, as if his behavior was like breathing movements necessary for survival, and it wasn't worth his thinking.
In this way, the stranger who fell from the sky followed the pure desire to slaughter in his heart, and brought a bloody disaster to the ordinary farm with a blank face, butchered every villager in the streets and houses with a blank face, and finally hacked all the villagers with a blank face. Decapitated the heads and limbs of Josk's innocent parents.
On this day, Josk was grazing sheep in the mountains, and accidentally lost two lambs, so he returned to the village anxiously, ready to be scolded by his parents, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was bloody and broken limbs all over the ground Purgatory on earth.
Just because of a stranger's whim, Josk's hometown was destroyed like this, and Josk's parents died in such a tragic way at home.
Josk was startled by the sudden bloody scene in front of him, so he just knelt down at the door of the blood-spattered house, kneeling from morning to evening.
Afterwards, several armors were engraved with scars, as if the Knights of the Holy Light who had just experienced a great battle, appeared in front of Josk as a child, and told the whole story to the only survivor of the farm.
It turned out that the person who ruthlessly slaughtered his parents was a person who came out of the Olympian maze, and was once a member of Olympian hunters, code-named Butcher Hunter.
Lost his sanity due to unknown reasons in the Olympian Labyrinth, this butcher hunter is a defector from the hunter group and has become a madman full of madness and desire to kill. The frontier, and finally slaughtered any creatures that appeared in front of him, has been a habitual offender wanted by the Olympian Hunters and the Holy Light Knights for many years.
After Josk's catastrophe, the knights unfortunately allowed him to escape back to the Orin Labyrinth.
As a result, Josk's deep-rooted hatred for Olympian hunters began the first step.
The Knights of the Holy Light originally planned to send this helpless child to an orphanage in a nearby town, but during the escort, they accidentally discovered that the survivor of the massacre seemed to be very sensitive to the power of the Holy Light. With obvious induction, Josk was finally sent to the Knights Monastery in the City of Holy Light.
And Josk's knight career ushered in the beginning.
From apprentice knight, he was promoted all the way to quasi-knight, then he was elected knight, and finally became instructor knight.
Before he was in charge of training the new generation of newcomers, Josk devoted most of his energy to searching and filling the maze and potholes, as well as the follow-up treatment. Among them, the one that made him most persistent was the hunt for the butcher hunter.
Josk wants to avenge his parents by cutting Butcher Hunter to pieces.
But over the past few decades, although the butcher hunters have completed several massacres in the Holy Light Pure Land, they have never been caught by Josk.
After each murder, the mysterious butcher would flee back to the Olympian Labyrinth and disappear under the tracking of the Holy Light Knight Cult.
Josk's revenge was fruitless, and his paranoid mind could not be rewarded, so he could only vent on the follow-up processing of the maze pothole incident.
Today's execution of Yechen and the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce on the spot is not the first time he has committed a crime.
Due to his childhood experience, Josk has distorted hatred for hunters and mazes. Therefore, when he was alone in charge of dealing with subjects who had contact with labyrinth creatures and might be contaminated with the breath of the abyss, Josk always kept "preferring" several times. Kill one hundred by mistake, don't let one go," the ruling concept once sent a total of more than 100 innocent residents of Shengguang Pure Land to the stake.
This lunatic, in the name of purifying the souls of these people, turned countless fresh lives into countless charred corpses in the flames and howling.
Don't ask men and women, don't ask young and old.
Although the situation is different from that of the butcher-hunters who slaughtered his hometown, the essence is not far from it.
Moreover, during the execution of these atrocities, Josk's methods were always clean and neat, without any substantive evidence being obtained by the church, so naturally he could not accept any sanction that should be accepted.
As time went by, after retiring from the front line, Josk was transferred to be an instructor knight, and although his strength in the Knights of the Holy Light was not top-notch, his talent and talent in training students was surprised by him after that dug out.
In the next ten years, Josk taught a group of new knights, and most of these newcomers became the leaders of the new generation of the Holy Light Knights, but they also lasted for more than ten years. In his practice, he was influenced by Josk's subtle influence, and he also hated the maze and the hunter to the bone, and he also didn't take the people and residents in the Holy Light Pure Land seriously.
In this way, Josk, as a big lunatic, even though he couldn't kill innocent people on the front line, he still taught new little lunatics continuously, and continued to secretly slander the reputation of the Church of the Holy Light...
Therefore, Josk is undoubtedly a scumbag, a big scumbag who deserves death.
And Kelly, Tucker, Zhang En, and Maqisha are the little scumbags he taught.
However, after meeting Yechen, the four lunatics were punished viciously, which ultimately caused Josk's years of hard work to be ruined.
Josk was angry because of this.
This was the most furious moment in his more than 40 years of knight career, it was almost like... reuniting with that butcher-hunter.
Chapter 0097
In the dark sea of trees, accompanied by a burst of holy light and countless light thorns, a figure flew upside down among the treetops, and then fell heavily on a huge rock.
After some rolling and turning, Yechen fell to the bottom of the huge rock, and finally slowed down in a piece of soft soil.
"Uh……"
Yechen groaned in pain, and looked down at the black cloak with gold patterns on his body.
At this moment, there are seven light thorns stuck on the surface of the cloak, respectively penetrating into Yechen's chest, shoulders, arms, wrists, abdomen, thighs, and insteps through the cloth of the cloak.
Then, the light spurs dissipated on their own initiative, and Yechen's affected parts immediately showed a thick blood color, and the black cloth of the cloak was soaked in dazzling bright red.
"Well……"
Yechen's face was grim for a moment, but with the anesthetic effect of the previous painkiller, he managed to get up from the mud, but his whole body was still swaying, like a dying grass, A breeze is enough to overwhelm it forever.
"When most people see me throwing the long sword, they will take it away without thinking, and want to take the opportunity to disarm my weapon..."
Just as the young man stretched out his hand to lean against a cluster of tree roots next to him, struggling to maintain his sanity, a majestic voice suddenly came from the other end of the forest.
"But it surprises me that a brat like you can't do that."
After the words fell, an old Holy Light Knight wearing pure white heavy armor walked out of the shadow of the forest slowly and appeared in front of Yechen.
His identity, of course, is Josk, the last remaining instructor of the Knights' Cloisters.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
With his heavy eyelids open, Yechen stared at Josk's face, paying attention to Josk's movements. With trembling hands, he drew out the slender straight knife at his waist, and then used the blood squeezed out of his own fresh wound to try to cut it. Edge once again added a sharp red light.
Josk walked in front of his long cross sword, stretched out his hand and pulled it out of the rock crevice neatly, and walked towards Yechen, speaking in an indifferent tone.
"Blades, bullets... Are these your natal arcane arts? It's easy to understand..."
Yechen quickly smeared the blade with new blood, and then threw a mocking smile at Josk.
"Heh, is it appropriate for you to say that? Because all your students died because of my 'easy to understand' ability?"
Obviously, Yechen is trying to provoke Josk, because once a person is angry, his actions are prone to flaws, and Yechen is eager for Josk to make flaws.
As long as there are flaws, he still has a chance to turn things around.
So, no matter how little or how small, as long as Josk has a flaw, Yechen will have hope, and everything is easy to talk about.
However, regarding the hunter's provocation, the knight twitched his lips, then nodded his head slightly, agreeing with the former's statement.
"You're right. My students died one after another at your hands, which only shows that their strength is still not strong enough."
Hearing this, Yechen clenched his teeth and clenched his lips.
Because the calmer Josk appears, the less likely it is that he will survive.
"However, no matter how useless or disappointing the performance of the four children, Kelly, Tucker, Zhang En, and Marquissa, they are all my students, and I depend on their growth. In the eyes..."
When Josk said this, one wrinkle, two wrinkles, and finally dozens of wrinkles quickly appeared on his originally calm brows, making his face look as fierce as a ghost.
"And you killed them."
"As the instructor of these students, I will naturally make you pay the price."
"Don't try to die a happy death."
The voice of the Holy Light Knight, carrying a ferocious oppressive force, pierced Yechen's eardrums through the narrow aisle of the forest, causing all the muscles in his whole body to tremble violently instinctively at this moment because of his resistance to death stand up.
In the next moment, Josk's figure struck Yechen like lightning.
The distance of [-] meters was crossed in an instant by this chosen holy light knight.
Yechen's pupils were enlarged to the extreme at this moment.
He clenched the long knife with both hands, placed the tip of the knife at the throat height of the human body in front of him, posed in a standard mid-section posture, and then concentrated all his remaining attention, staring at the flickering white light in front of him.
Josk's sword shadow, as fast as thunder, bypassed the point of Yechen's knife pointing at his throat, and flashed towards Yechen's lower body.
But the focus on the front line of life and death still made the "blood blade" in the young man's hand turn into a red glow, which barely blocked the landing point of the white thunder in front of him, and blocked his legs and knees.
Bang!
The crisp sound of gold and iron clashing resounded through the dark sea of trees.
A crack suddenly appeared from the tip of the Yechen red knife.
Joske held the sword in both hands, and after attacking Yechen's lower body, he immediately switched to one hand and slammed his sword towards Yechen's neck.
Driven by the power of the Holy Light, the knight's sword is ridiculously fast.
Ye Chen couldn't see it clearly, and could only rely on the changes in the airflow in front of him and his fighting intuition accumulated over the years to instantly push the "Blood Blade" to his chest.
Boom!
The sound of friction between the blade and the blade startled away the birds and beasts in the forest.
Ten cracks suddenly appeared from the center of the blade of Yechen's red knife.
Josk held the sword with one hand, stabbed Yechen's throat, and quickly swung the cross sword in an arc on the top of the skull, then resumed holding it with both hands, raised it horizontally, and finally moved towards Yechen's side, slashing with all his strength. out.
The holy light bloomed, making the knight's blade shine to the extreme at this moment.
Although Josk's arm-raised horizontal slash was not as fast as the previous two surprise attacks, and the angle was not as tricky as the previous two surprise attacks, he just felt the cold wind blowing towards his face and the dazzling white light that made him unable to open his eyes. Yechen immediately understood that the power of the holy light contained in Josk's sword was already extremely terrifying.
However, Yechen could not avoid it now, and in the end he could only slash the broken "Blood Blade" towards Josk's looted blade, risking his life and giving it a go.
Clang!
The sound of the blood knife breaking and smashing hurt Yechen's brain.
Hundreds of cracks spread upward from the broken tip of the knife, reaching the blade of the "Blood Blade", and finally caused the entire blade to shatter into pieces, scattered and flew, cutting Yechen's cheek.
The ferocious power of the holy light smashed the slender straight knife covered in scars in the young man's hand while defeating the offensive of the mysterious power.
And Yechen, by virtue of the sacrifice of the blade, created a life-saving leisure for the movement of his footsteps, and saved his body from being directly cut off by Josk's long cross sword, but the strength extended from the latter's sword edge , but still penetrated into Yechen's chest through the black cloak with gold patterns on his chest.
Boom-!
A heavy sound sounded like a cliff collapsing.
The boy's figure flipped backwards, smashed through tree roots, smashed into rocks, and after creating a gully that was as long as a hundred meters, it finally flew out of the woodland, slid down the hillside, and fell across a wild field. In the bright yellow flower garden.
The difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves... is really too great.
Chapter 0098 Hunter Men and Women
Ye Chen's body rolled a few times in the bright yellow flowerbed, and finally stopped by the soft flower branches.
"Uh……!"
He crawled among the yellow flowers, sat up dying, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, before falling back into the mud between the flowers.
At this moment, the black cloak with golden patterns on Yechen's body has been twisted into a shriveled strip. Compared with the previous appearance after being hit by a shell from the Abyss Seeker, the condition is not much better. Obviously After a long period of time, he could no longer renew the life of Yechen's bodyguard.
At this moment, the young man was in severe pain all over his body, and his mind was in a daze.
However, in a daze, he raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly saw a bright mist in front of the flower garden.
This mist quietly diffused in front of Yechen, like a wall, enclosing the forest road connected to the flower garden, and isolating Yechen from the outside world.
At first glance, Ye Chen subconsciously thought it was just a thick cloud of water vapor, but through careful observation, he was able to feel a familiar energy breath in it.
Countless memory fragments flew by before the young man's eyes, and then an answer consciously surfaced, telling the young man as follows:
This mist, like the Riyue Mountain he visited back then, is an energy barrier formed by the natural mystical power permeating the air.
