Chapter 184: Ice Blade
When the kiss falls, the most devout faith also arrives at the same time.
Hitzfeld could feel that the two souls had never been so entangled and harmonious as they were now. Even when she was forced to be used as a "weapon" by Xia Yibing, it was never like this, because she was the only one who was giving, but now it was a two-way fusion.
It was a magical feeling... as if there was finally a special light spot in the mysterious network, and she opened her heart to this side and was willing to dedicate everything to it. Hitzfeld could also use this connection to transfer his own power over.
However, it also has contradictions.
On the one hand, she was trusted wholeheartedly, and on the other hand, she could also feel the woman's extremely strong possessiveness of her - not only for this body, but also for her soul, her thoughts, and her will.
It was as if she finally had her first believer in the mysterious system, but this was also her last believer, because this believer had no intention of sharing the "god" with other believers. She wanted to enjoy the grace of the "god" alone. This was indeed a special relationship...
"Cough cough!" A coughing sound came from the side, and Hitzfeld realized that he had been immersed in this long kiss for too long.
She felt ashamed to be tasted like this in front of others, and she pushed the woman's shoulders hard, finally breaking free.
“Um… Ms. Imaar.” The tone of the voice in the Human King’s body changed again, becoming more like that of Queen Sarah: “Even I always thought that you two were just playing around… Well… I must apologize to you now…”
Sina's body also contains half of Alvin's soul, so she can do it, temporarily speaking first.
Elwin was indeed very surprised: she grew up in the palace and had hardly ever left the capital in her life. The decadent life in Wayne Port was already well-known far and wide, and this was not only reflected in the relationship between men and women, but also in the fact that some noble ladies from wealthy families would have fantasies about the same sex.
But as she described, it was mostly just "playing around". Such a relationship was so fragile that both parties didn't even mind cheating on each other. Irwin thought that Director Imaer was just using the young detective to relieve his boredom, but after witnessing their affectionate process, he realized that he had misunderstood her.
These two are serious about this.
And indeed, as long as she didn't get married, it wouldn't be considered a violation of her original vow.
"Hurry up and go!" The inquiring and curious look in his eyes was too embarrassing. Hitzfeld didn't dare to look up at all, and just pushed the woman blindly, "Now you are a 'believer'... go find the Rubik's Cube and the control center... then I will 'descend'... go!"
Xia Yibing pursed her lips, smiled, and left without saying anything.
None of the surrounding guards tried to stop her. They also spat out dirty things, and most of them received orders from the captain of the guards to disperse to guard the outer hall.
Xia Yibing ran out almost three steps at a time, the excitement in her heart was beyond words.
It's not just as simple as "the relationship between the two has taken a step further", nor is it just that the girl's last words satisfied some fantasy of hers... that superficial.
Yes, she really liked the nun's uniform. Strictly speaking, she really liked the way Hitzfeld "behaved" like that - she liked her politeness and alienation towards outsiders, her dignity, her calmness and rationality, and especially liked the shyness revealed when this dignity was stripped off by her own hands.
So the key is not actually the nun's uniform, but the nun's uniform can further enhance this feeling.
But she is not such a superficial person... Even if the relationship between "believers" and "God" is to serve on the one hand and blaspheme on the other... this does sound much more exciting, but the real reason why she is excited is that "they really disclosed this relationship."
Luca Madeleine's didn't count, at least the relationship was disclosed in front of the king.
This was a very important development. It completely changed the nature of this relationship, meaning that it would most likely receive Elwin's endorsement in the future, and they would definitely have more conveniences when getting along - maybe they wouldn't even have to hide anymore.
Of course, the prerequisite is to survive this catastrophe safely.
Her expression turned cold and Xia Yibing quickly put away her smile.
Aisuen seemed to have said that there should be no drastic emotional changes in times of crisis... whether it is negative or positive emotions, anger or excitement, it is unreasonable.
The principle seems to be that "emotional changes can lead to the secretion of various hormones, and hormones will strengthen the body in a short period of time", but there is a huge hidden danger here - you will forget to retain some strength.
Killing people is not easy, but surviving on the battlefield is really difficult. This is destined to be a long battle, which tests not only strength, but also physical strength and endurance. Every time you chop a knife, you must retain some strength to prevent unexpected accidents.
Aisuen once gave an example of a man who, because of excessive emotion, rashly used all his strength on the battlefield. While killing crazily, he said strange things like "I don't need to be afraid anymore", and finally died from an enemy sneak attack.
Oh, I can't do such a stupid thing.
It might be the order of Captain Cassius that no one stopped him from running out. Xia Yibing came to the front door of the palace according to her memory, and after crossing the long corridor, she heard ghosts howling in the distance.
This was not a noise that a human could make. Squinting his eyes, he saw a group of guards forming a double line of defense, strangling a group of blood-red monsters like a meat grinder.
There was a reason why she called them bloody monsters - those things retained their human form, but they had no organs on their faces except for a mouth-like pit. Their bodies seemed to have no bones and any movements were limp. The muscle fibers attached to the surface of their bodies had turned into thin "blood lines". Their structure was a bit like a puppet woven out of wool. They had lost their sanity and only knew how to mindlessly attack the defense line.
Those who were chosen by Cassius to guard the palace were all elites, most of whom had mastered some of the blood mage's skills. Each of them wore bone armor, with a stature of more than two meters. In their hands, they either held a bone blade giant sword as big as a door panel or a giant bone spur shield that was heavier than a person. They divided the work and cooperated with each other in a precise manner, and strangled these monsters very efficiently.
But there are hidden dangers... Xia Yibing was far away so she could see the overall situation of the battlefield clearly. She found that the number gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger.
Although the meat grinder is constantly strangling the blood men, on the one hand... these blood monsters are extremely difficult to kill. Even if they are chopped into blood mud and stepped underfoot, as long as those thick and long "blood lines" are still there, they will spontaneously look for nearby materials, wrap them around, and weave bit by bit, like tailors with self-awareness. Soon, another group of blood men will stand up again.
On the other hand, more bloody people kept running from the distant streets to join the battlefield. As the strength of the two increased, the defense line was in danger of collapse.
Xia Yibing knew that she had arrived at the right time. She did not hesitate or even say hello to anyone. She grabbed Changxia out of thin air with her right hand, using the void as a sheath. With the momentum and inertia of dragging and running, she jumped high from behind the crowd and chopped vertically towards the crowded street.
As he chopped, his heart moved, and a feeling of the fusion of soul and flesh descended upon him. When the Changxia Sword was raised, it was just a slender ice sword, but it continued to thicken and thicken during the chopping process, turning into a thick-backed battle sword with a straight blade, pointed head, and oblique corners!
Zheng——
The sword light separated from the sword itself and turned into an enlarged shadow of its outline and fell on the street, first cutting a narrow crack more than ten meters long in the road surface, and then the huge shadow shattered with a loud bang, generating a violent cold wind that swept around, and all the bloody people who approached were frozen into ice sculptures by the cold wind.
clack clack...
Then the ice sculptures shattered at the same time, turning into blood crystals and powder, and it seemed that they could no longer get up.
Captain Cassius of the imperial guards was originally having a headache about how to consolidate the defense line. When he saw this scene, he was shocked and then delighted. He quickly ordered the guards to retreat to the main entrance, thus reducing the defense area a lot.
After slashing a few more times to freeze and cut the approaching bloody crowd, Xia Yibing landed slightly beside Cassius and asked, "Where are the people who came here through Luca's connections now?"
She now understood that it was impossible for Ethan and his people to really hide from the palace's spies.
So why not just ask instead of looking for it herself? This person seemed to be of high status, if he didn't know she could ask someone else.
Coincidentally and naturally, Cassius really knew about this matter. He pondered and said, "If you ask those outsiders, the house they rented is at No. 10 Xueling Road!"
"Where is the Blood Spirit Road?"
Cassius pointed out the direction for her: "Follow this road to the end, turn right when you see the sign, and walk to the end. It's across from the market in the trading area."
"Thanks."
Xia Yibing rushed out directly.
Cassius was shocked because the road he pointed out was now completely filled with bloody people. He even wanted to ask if she should send a few people to help her, but he didn't expect her to be so reckless!
Then he saw Xia Yibing slashing with a few sharp cuts, clearing the crowded street into a blood-crystal path.
“…”Well, it seems these things are not obstacles for her.
Xia Yibing’s advancement efficiency was extremely high.
The blood monsters may not be easy to deal with any kind of weapons and spells, mainly because they know how to recycle waste. Even if they are chopped into pieces or smashed, as long as there is blood thread remaining in the blood mud, they can weave them back and join the battlefield.
But facing the Changxia Knife that was possessed by the Dead Bone Ice Needle, this trick was useless. Xia Yibing ran wildly while swinging the knife as if he was in an empty space. Wherever he passed, people flew and blood exploded, leaving only blood crystal powder floating in the wind. He quickly slaughtered most of the street.
She didn't care at all whether this would relieve the pressure on the palace. On the contrary, her sense of urgency became even more severe.
These bloody people should have been awakened by Yin Seer's "corrupted blood"...
He thought as he cut her.
Luca vomited out filth only after he was illuminated by the light of Jiyang, but it is not ruled out that there are more people who were not illuminated by the light, and they account for the vast majority of the residents here.
It is said that Oujin City has a population of more than 100,000 people. This number is actually not large for a city. After all, even Hei Mu City has hundreds of thousands of people. But if the number is used to form an expedition team of only ten people, Xia Yibing doubts how many minutes her companions can last.
One hundred thousand versus ten people, conservatively speaking, they would have to deal with several thousand bloody people each. This was not a comparison of the same magnitude at all, she had to find them as soon as possible.
He slashed out with a blade of light again, cutting the bloody people in the fan-shaped range in half. Watching them bleed, freeze, and shatter into powder before they hit the ground, Xia Yibing felt the power again.
The condition is maintained well... Although the distance is so far, there is still a force transmitted to me.
It's Aisun.
She was like a torch in the dark night... or even moonlight. The cold light shone on her heart, comforting her and supporting her to ignore the sneakiness and keep pushing forward.
The blood puppets seemed to be aware of her power and gathered faster and faster. They also knew how to form giant blood puppets in an attempt to block her way forward.
Xia Yibing didn't care. The newly evolved Changxia Sword was too powerful. If one blow from the sword didn't kill him, she would use two. If that didn't work, she would just use the sword to cut off the supporting legs. Her forward efficiency would not change much.
...As Aisuen also said, the weakness of giants is that they also stand on the earth.
After hacking and slashing like this, she soon found the so-called market. It was a downhill entrance where she could see a narrow street branching off in front of her. However, the residential area diagonally opposite had completely collapsed. The only thing left was a half-collapsed small building, from which a series of panicked screams were coming from.
A group of blood puppets are besieging the small building. The survivors can barely hold on by relying on the narrow gaps formed by the collapse, but it is only a matter of time before it falls.
Xia Yibing rushed over to kill all the blood puppets and tried to get inside, but was met with the tip of a gun.
He avoided the tip of the gun and grabbed the gun shaft. The cold frost spread along the gun shaft, and soon he heard screams coming from the darkness ahead.
"My hand...ah! My hand!"
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." She came in, looked around among the survivors and didn't find Ethan and others, and continued: "Tell me if you have seen a 'centaur'."
The combat capability of human beings is negligible in front of the blood puppets. The only hope for those people to break out and escape is to rely on Baliu to transform into a centaur.
"Yes! ... Yes!" The survivors were terrified, and someone immediately answered the question, "There is a 'centaur'! There are people on its back... There seem to be some people in its stomach!"
"Where did they go?"
"Over there! Over there!"
After leaving the small building, Xia Yibing searched and hacked along the way in the direction indicated by the survivor, and finally found the target ahead.
It was a fairly large human group, with some soldiers forming a defense line. They were not as strong as the palace guards but at least they were wearing bone armor for protection. Some refugees were guarding behind them, and in the middle there was an unusually thick blood bone tree.
When Xia Yibing saw the blood-bone tree, her eyes lit up and she quickly rushed to the soldiers. As they stared in astonishment, she pushed aside her shield and walked into the crowd. Sure enough, she found Ethan, Darent, Leon and others under the roots of the tree.
"Director (Captain)!"
Everyone was surprised, obviously they didn't expect her to come to their aid.
And there was more surprise than joy, how could she suddenly become so fierce...
"Who has the Rubik's Cube?" Xia Yibing was too lazy to talk nonsense in front of her companions.
Time was too tight and it would take some time to find the control hub, so she switched directly to wartime mode and would explain any bullshit later.
Fortunately, her companions were of the same kind as her. Ethan, as her old subordinate, understood her very well and immediately handed over the backpack in his hand: "Here it is!"
"Give me!"
After taking the backpack, she did not forget to open it and take a look.
There were several books and a piece of black cloth inside. When she pulled aside the cloth, she saw a cube that was completely black and shone brightly under the light. She knew it couldn't be wrong.
"Teniz didn't come?" She felt relieved. She didn't see the artist prince in the crowd.
“How could we possibly bring him to a place like this…” Ethan smiled bitterly.
The purpose of bringing him out originally was to train him. This operation was dangerous and no one might be able to go back. Teni wanted to come himself, but was vetoed by his temporary leader.
"What a pity." Xia Yibing muttered to herself, criticizing Xi Na, "He could have met the child's mother..."
"what?"
"Nothing much, just pack up and get ready to follow me down...Also, are you Gu?"
She looked up and saw the old man's face on the trunk of the blood bone tree, confirming her previous guess - this big blood bone tree was actually transformed from an ancient man!
"Moren Shaw released me from the box," Gu replied. "He said I was too useful to you to stay there and waste time."
"Moren Shaw...where are the others?"
"He left. I think he was heading towards the palace."
"Then we should have just missed each other... Oujin City is not big but not small either. How did you find this place?"
"My compatriots are here." The old man stretched out a branch and pointed at the somewhat embarrassed Baliu.
"Oh~~ Devil Ivy girl, we are all descendants of the ancient Nether Fruit Tree."
Is there still this relationship?
Looking at Baliu with some surprise, Xia Yibing sincerely hoped that such coincidences would happen more often!
But Moren Shaw said that ancient is useful to us?
Isn't he a retard? Is he back to normal?
Oh, he is Sina's Bloodsworn... It is also possible that he knows the most among all the Bloodsworn, including the secret of the Apis Cube. His dementia is not a hidden danger but a protection for his consciousness, making Yinsel unable to perceive his true thoughts.
Tsk...it turns out that woman is very good at playing dirty tricks.
If she's still alive after this, I'll have to find a way to kill her.
"Captain?" Ethan didn't know that his old captain had become darker, and asked blankly: "What did you say just now? Are we going to go to the ground now?"
"No, it's the underground passages you passed through when you came up. Aisuen suspects that the interior is mechanically driven. There must be a core control room. The Apis Cube can control this place."
Xia Yibing gave them a brief description.
"Just like controlling the Pierre?" The group of people were surprised and delighted again - this big guy is much cooler to drive than a broken submarine!
"About the same." Xia Yibing answered while thinking, and then suddenly asked Gu: "Can your roots drill down?"
