1393 Slashing a Blue Deacon with Wind Wings

Edited by Aelryinth

The dueling ground collapsed. Zhao Manyan dragged Violet Ghost’s dead body across the ground and tossed it into the air above the members of the Black Vatican.

Most of them were under Violet Ghost’s leadership. Even though the death of their leader would not necessarily scare them away, it would still destroy their morale!

“Old Zhao, well done!” Zhang Xiaohou finally smiled in relief when he saw Zhao Manyan had taken Violet Ghost out, even though his face was covered in filth.

“Our backup is here. Our backup is here!” someone started screaming among the soldiers, and the rest of them immediately followed. They acted as if a huge troop of reinforcements had arrived. Their morale was completely different than before!

Zhao Manyan suddenly realized why it had always been so important to take out the enemy’s commander first. He realized how morale could significantly influence the strength of an army.

It proved that Mo Fan’s decision to kill the Cold Prince was on point. Only killing a Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican would decrease the number of people who crazily worshipped these evil maniacs!

“Send all these scum to Hell!” Zhao Manyan felt the strong morale of the defenders. As the person that had taken down Violet Ghost, he believed his words would stimulate those that had fought so hard to protect the ancient keep!

The thick armor on him fell off as he was yelling. They turned into countless pieces of armor attaching to the defenders, adding a layer of protection to them!

Feng Yufei’s eyes flickered with hope when he saw Zhao Manyan’s impressive spell.

As expected of the Mage that had resisted the attack of a Ruler-level creature, he was able to strengthen the defense of over a hundred people simultaneously. It was sturdy enough to protect them from some of the relatively powerful Intermediate Spells!

Most Mages could only rely on Equipment for defense. Unfortunately, that Equipment would only last for a certain period of time, so most of them would either die or suffer serious injuries if they were attacked…

As a result, even though the defense was not as effective as when Zhao Manyan was casting it on himself, it was still an extra life for many of the Mages. It meant they could go all out at the enemy!

“The Cursed Beasts can’t hurt us anymore. Kill, ignore those Cursed Beasts, kill the Black Clergy and Blue Deacons, and the Cursed Beasts will die too!” Qu Kang yelled.

The Cursed Beasts could not break through the armor that Zhao Manyan had granted the defenders. They immediately launched their counterattacks at the Black Clergy, Blue Deacons, and their ghastly-looking creatures!

“Commander Zhang, there’s a Blue Deacon hiding behind those Cursed Beasts. He is the one that killed Captain Fan!” a Battlemage pointed in a direction and shouted.

Zhang Xiaohou immediately looked in that direction and saw a guy hiding in the shadows. He seemed to be commanding the Black Clergy after Violet Ghost died. He kept giving orders to the members of the Black Vatican.

“I’ll deal with him!” Zhang Xiaohou said.

He had already sprung ahead two hundred meters while his voice was still lingering in the air. A bunch of Dark Beasts pounced at him, but Zhang Xiaohou had already moved past them while they were lifting their claws. The Dark Beasts completely missed their attacks!

Zhang Xiaohou’s speed was shocking. The Cursed Beasts did not have a chance of stopping him, despite their numbers.

The Blue Deacon quickly ran away with Fleeing Shadow when he saw Zhang Xiaohou approaching.

Zhang Xiaohou had killed at least five Blue Deacons and countless Black Clergy so far. They would have seized control of Shenmu Keep if it wasn’t for him!

The Blue Deacon did not dare to stay any further, knowing the person that had killed many of his comrades was now targeting him!

“Do you think you can run away?” Zhang Xiaohou was amused.

He did not lose to anyone in terms of speed, even Shadow Mages. Zhang Xiaohou had learned to be a scout while he was stationed at the Qinling Mountains. The cunning demon creatures were hidden inside the mountains, but Zhang Xiaohou still managed to find them!

The Great Wall was quite long. The Blue Deacon ran along it and reached the other side of the fighting. He decisively jumped down from the Wall.

Zhang Xiaohou was riding a gust of wind while sprinting. He immediately noticed a black shadow moving down the Wall.

“Earth Prison!” Zhang Xiaohou slammed his hand onto the wall. A brown ring of light rapidly flew toward the shadow.

When the ring made contact with the shadow, thick rocks emerged from the wall and formed a cage around it, entrapping the Blue Deacon with the Shadow Element.

The Blue Deacon was forced to reveal himself. He was about to escape through an opening when Zhang Xiaohou arrived. He immediately lost his balance when the strong wind blew at him. He fell half the Wall’s height down from where he was.

Luckily, he was on the back side of the wall. If he was at the front, the starving creatures of the Underworld would have immediately torn him to pieces!

“Please, spare me, I was forced to join them!” The Blue Deacon knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He realized it was impossible to run away from Zhang Xiaohou.

Zhang Xiaohou was stunned for a moment. The guy had lost his will to fight before he attacked. Was every member of the Black Vatican a coward?

As Zhang Xiaohou was thinking, something the same color as the wall was wriggling behind him, silently approaching the flying Zhang Xiaohou from behind like a spider approaching its prey.

The Blue Deacon was distracting Zhang Xiaohou with his words while controlling a Dark Beast to sneak up to him…

He had to wait until the Dark Beast was close enough to deliver the killing blow. He had to make sure the guy did not have a chance to dodge the attack, nor a chance to cast a defensive spell or activate his defensive Equipment!

The Blue Deacon believed the creature was close enough. The begging look in his eyes turned vicious!

“Die, you fool!” the Blue Deacon screamed.

Zhang Xiaohou had a curious look when he saw the shift in the Blue Deacon’s expression.

A deadly claw swiped at his neck from behind at a tricky angle. However, Zhang Xiaohou nimbly moved to the side without turning his head…

He even moved at the perfect time and was well aware of the reach of the Dark Beast’s attack. He did not move a centimeter further than what was necessary.

The Blue Deacon gaped. He did not expect the guy could dodge the attack so easily.

“I really despise your kind, especially when I see these ugly creatures killing people under your command. Why do you never understand how important the people that you have killed cold-bloodedly are to others!?” Zhang Xiaohou swore icily, floating in the air with the help of the wind.

The Wind Wings had left his back while he was speaking. The Wind Wings turned into wind blades circling around the Blue Deacon and the Dark Beast.

The Blue Deacon was extremely scared of dying, and immediately fled for his life. The ambush had failed. He would only die if he tried to fight this man!

The wind blades slashed at their targets from different directions and angles. There was no escape from them, nor was there any way to defend against them. The Blue Deacon that naively thought he could run away and his Dark Beast were sliced into pieces. Their blood spattered across the place.

The Blue Deacon and his Dark Beast died to Zhang Xiaohou’s wind blades in less than two seconds!

The Wind Magic, slightly stained with blood, returned swiftly to Zhang Xiaohou’s back and reformed into wings. Zhang Xiaohou took a deep breath. He beat his wings and returned to the top of the Wall and the Magic Fire Beacon, where fighting was still taking place.
