Chapter 189: Yet Another Female Elf
The knights didn’t expect a masked person to suddenly appear.
What they didn’t expect even more was that as soon as this masked person appeared, Knight Rick lopped off his head with a single sword, killing him instantly. He was so bad it was like picking one.
“Where did this idiot come from?” Ito Mi shook her head and tutted, stepping forward slowly to uncover Xia Feng’s mask.
But at this moment, another black-robed person wearing the same K-mask slowly materialized in the air.
Everyone looked up in confusion.
Xia Feng withdrew from his Nirvana state, lowered his head, and clenched his fists, feeling the surging power coursing through his body.
His Spirit Pressure temporarily surged into Tier 4, and due to his already high base, his Strength value tripled, directly skyrocketing to a state only achievable at Tier 5.
After quickly adapting to this powerful strength, Xia Feng looked up at the knights. Swish—
Without any nonsense, he stomped his foot. With a slight bang as space exploded, he transformed into a black and white afterimage, appearing behind a Black Moon Knight. His shining blade cut across, and as the head flew off instantly, he was already rushing towards the next target.
“?!” Everything happened too suddenly. The knights were still somewhat stunned. The one whose head fell was a newly promoted Fourth-stage Spirit Master; even if he couldn’t use his Spirit Robe, his physical strength was still formidable. How was he pierced and killed so easily?
Swish— Two more Third-stage Spirit Masters lost their heads.
“It’s a Fifth-stage! Damn it, scatter!” Rick was the first to react, shouted, and turned to run.
He was actually also a Fifth-stage, but the Miracle Star River had its own rules, prohibiting Spirit Masters of Tier 4 and above from entering.
It was also because of this that after entering the Miracle Star River, the comprehensive strength of Fifth-stage Spirit Masters would be suppressed to the level of Tier 4 by the river’s rule force.
It wasn’t impossible to break through the rule force and recover their strength, but that could only be done temporarily for two hours. To ensure the successful acquisition of the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo later, he couldn’t recover his strength now.
Hearing Rick’s warning, the other knights’ expressions also changed drastically. They scattered and fled like birds flushed out of their nests.
Bang— Xia Feng’s figure flashed in front of Ito Mi, and he punched her head, smashing it. But to Xia Feng’s surprise, as his fist impacted, the woman’s body deflated like a leaky balloon, instantly shrinking into a wrinkled human skin that fluttered to the ground.
“She escaped…”
Xia Feng frowned. The human skin in front of him simultaneously ignited with black flames, seemingly about to self-immolate and perish. Xia Feng thoughtfully reached out and touched the black flames. The pain of burning his soul assaulted him.
[You have been attacked by B-grade Spirit artifact · Human Skin Puppet. Replication detected.]
The human skin dissipated in the flames. Xia Feng didn’t linger, turning to continue pursuing the others.
Unfortunately, his speed hadn’t been increased to the Fifth-stage level. He possessed invincible physical strength but couldn’t utilize it to its fullest.
However, it didn’t matter. As long as these people still carried Obsidian, he could always sense them and find them.
None of them would escape.
Picking up the three fallen Obsidian stones, which included one Fire Obsidian, one Wood Obsidian, and one Water Obsidian, Xia Feng only needed the Water Obsidian. But if he could snatch other elemental Obisdians, he wouldn’t refuse them.
After putting away the Obsidian stones and stuffing the mushroom that had turned into a mushroom into his pocket, he sensed the direction slightly and began to chase and kill madly.
“Big shot, who are you! F*ck, stop chasing me, alright!”
Miracle Star River No. 7 fell into chaos for a time. Many people who had been leisurely admiring the spectacular sights began to flee for their lives because a madman wearing a K-mask was attacking indiscriminately, claiming to uphold the justice and peace of the Star River and demanding they hand over their Obsidian stones.
Obsidian stones were their anchor for existence here, how could they give them up. “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I’ll give you the Obsidian stones, alright!”
The Black Moon Holy See was fortunate that this K-Masked Man attacked indiscriminately. The Element Holy See’s people had also had their Obsidian stones plundered by the K-Masked Man, their numbers greatly reduced. One by one, after losing their Obsidian stones, they were forced to return to the Real World.
[Water Obsidian +1, +1, +1]
As Xia Feng diligently plundered the rich to help the poor, he successfully obtained 12 Water Obisdians and 26 Obisdians of other elements.
He was still far from 100 Water Obisdians; the road ahead was long.
“Who exactly is this K-Masked Man!” On some part of the Star River, Ito Mi’s expression was grim. She had used her human skin as a golden cicada shedding its shell only once, and she hadn’t expected it to be wasted like this. Her heart was filled with hatred for this inexplicable K-Masked Man.
“No matter who he is, Ito Mi, this is not something you should concern yourself with.” A handsome man with flowing blond hair hovered in mid-air with his hands behind his back. He wore an elegant tailcoat and said indifferently from above, “Your only task now is to quickly awaken the Goddess so that she can bestow the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo!”
Ito Mi’s eyes narrowed slightly. She disliked this man’s slightly contemptuous tone, but there was nothing she could do. This man was called Jin Zheng’en, a Knight from headquarters, and he possessed an innate arrogance towards those from the branches.
Furthermore, this person was a Tier 5 Mad Battle Knight.
Mad Battle Knights were body cultivators specifically trained by the Holy See. Their Spirit Pressure rank might be low, but after consuming massive amounts of Spiritual Materials like Blood Qi Pills, their physical strength would reach astonishing levels.
For example, Jin Zheng’en’s Spirit Pressure was only Tier 3, but his physical strength was rated as Tier 5, equivalent to the physical strength of a Fifth-stage Spirit Master.
However, the upper limit of these Mad Battle Knights was also fixed; they could never ascend to the Venerable realm. But this was irrelevant to most Mad Battle Knights.
The Black Moon Headquarters had sent two Tier 5 Mad Battle Knights and six Tier 4 Mad Battle Knights this time, clearly showing their determination to obtain the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo.
Just then, a giant man, fully two and a half meters tall, leaped from afar. He landed steadily on the Star River, lowered his head expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, “The Element Holy See’s numbers have decreased by another 12 people.”
This giant was another Tier 5 Mad Battle Knight. Most Mad Battle Knights were tall; Jin Zheng’en, who maintained a normal physique, was an anomaly.
“Heh~ It seems the appearance of this K-Masked Man is actually a good thing for us.”
Jin Zheng’en narrowed his eyes and said lightly, “In these eighteen hours, the Element Holy See’s high-end combat power has been almost completely plundered by the K-Masked Man, forcing them back to the Real World. This way, when the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo appears, the Element Holy See will no longer be able to compete with us.”
“But the K-Masked Man is still here,” Knight Rick said, standing beside Ito Mi, his brow furrowed. “We should still be careful. The K-Masked Man’s target is certainly not just Obsidian stones.”
“Knight Rick, you worry too much.”
Jin Zheng’en chuckled and shook his head. “No matter who he is or what his purpose is, he is only one Fifth-stage Spirit Master. Does he think he can fight so many of us?”
“Besides, each of us has a Spirit artifact. Over twenty Spirit artifacts can form many combination techniques. Can he handle one of us?”
Speaking disdainfully, the blond man snapped his fingers. Behind him, a sharp-eared woman dressed in a gorgeous golden dress appeared and landed gracefully.
The female elf looked at Jin Zheng’en with gentle beautiful eyes, bowed, and said softly, “Master, what are your orders.”
“Monitor the surroundings.”
“Yes.” The female elf’s forehead instantly opened an eye and began to monitor.
This was Jin Zheng’en’s Spirit artifact, the Light Spirit. An accident had caused his artifact to be cursed by an Artifact Calamity, giving it a humanoid form.
