Chapter 658 “Sword of Despair and Fear” (4500)
“The position of the fifth Aoyin rune has moved.”
Simio, the Saint Lion, one of the four kings of the Golem Gate, is on a mission in the Yana United States. He leads a team and follows Kaxiu’s will to find the last remaining rune of the five cornerstones of the Aoyin civilization.
The rune is in the shape of two overlapping eye outlines with double pupils.
On the island in the middle of the lake, Kaxiu sat cross-legged, and there were four points on the surface of his tall body that were glowing slightly. The back of his right hand, the back of his left hand, the shoulder of his left arm, and the center of his chest. Life, death, nature, and spirit have all been controlled by him, and only the last puzzle gap has not been filled.
Once the five runes are gathered, Kaxiu will have the means and confidence to target Xiadu, which is the last insurance in theory. Otherwise, he can kill or even destroy Xiadu’s body, but he cannot prevent Xiadu from returning to the concept of disaster, which is extremely funny. It was equivalent to actively letting the Boss start the second stage and fall into a more difficult battle.
“Oyin rune, Oyinskalo…”
Kaxiu was shrouded in golden sunlight and muttered to himself.
“I really don’t know where this mysterious Oyin civilization has gone now. Ten thousand years have passed, and Oyinskalo should have descended on many worlds invaded by disasters, like leaving five cornerstone runes, sowing the seeds of resistance. Maybe there will be a chance to meet them in the future, but now let’s focus on the present…”
The day before, February 19th, night.
South Reef Island, Yana United States, Pennsylvania.
There is a Douglas fir forest in the northern suburbs of Huangmu City.
Douglas fir, also known as South Reef Yellow Fir, is also the origin of the name of Huangmu City. This Douglas fir has a leopard-like bark pattern. It is a tall tree that can grow to 100 meters and is spread along the coast from north to south.
So, this forest is unusually empty and heavy. The tall treetops blocked the moonlight, casting large shadows, making the light on the ground not so sufficient. The vast but relatively closed forest space gives people a sense of sight of a deep valley, deep forest, and old forest, which makes people feel extremely depressed.
At night, walking in this forest. There was a rustling sound in the grass, and there were sounds of unknown animals crawling. The breeze blew, and the leaves and branches slapped each other, like waves piling up. Looking up, a thick and tall yellow fir rose from the ground and extended all the way to the sky.
It looked like a giant standing quietly on the ground.
“Hurry, hurry, follow closely!”
Next to a thick yellow fir tree, a well-proportioned and powerful man waved to the back and shouted in a low voice. The sound of trekking suddenly came from the grass, and branches and roots were torn off from time to time.
“Joey, you’re moving too fast, I can’t keep up with you…”
A beautiful woman in office clothes came out of the bushes panting and grabbed the man’s hand.
“Sorry, Yulia, I shouldn’t have involved you in this matter. You’re just an ordinary person, it’s too dangerous for you…”
Joey hugged Yulia with some regret. The two were a couple.
“Joey, you must tell me what you know.”
“There shouldn’t be secrets between lovers, right?” Even at night, Yulia’s eyes were sparkling, staring at her boyfriend with big eyes.
“Okay, okay. But you must not tell anyone…”
Joey raised his hands and finally chose to explain the truth.
His identity is not simple. On the surface, he is just a deputy manager of a bank, but in fact he is an exorcist. And he is the son of the president of the Southeastern Exorcist Association of the Yana United States. They have been dealing with the bad guys hidden in human society. It is a monster, a monster that eats human souls. Some people call them evil spirits, while the Exorcist Association prefers to call them nightmares. Nightmares feed on people’s fear.
Plant a fear mark on people, and then slowly torture them until they die.
Souls born in this extreme fear environment are the most delicious.
Since birth, Joey has followed his father to learn how to use the blood power in his body, control source energy, and practice exorcism. After adulthood, he joined the actual combat and constantly solved the tasks assigned by the Exorcist Association. And the surface identity is just his disguise. Every time a mission requires Joey to arrive in a city, the Exorcist Association will help him arrange an identity. Investigate strange cases until they are solved.
In the past two or three years, the number and quality of nightmare groups in Pennsylvania have increased significantly for some reason, causing many tragedies. So Joey and his companions were arranged to live here permanently to find out the reasons for the abnormal activity of the nightmare group. It was during this period of stable residence that Joey met Julia, and the two soon fell in love.
As time passed, Joey gradually found out why the nightmare group gathered towards Pennsylvania. It was the place he came tonight, deep in the Citiwood Forest in the northern suburbs of Huangmu City.
The nightmares seemed to be looking for an ancient relic. And deep in that relic, there was what they were looking for, the legendary treasure.
“Sword of Despair and Fear”
Nightmares are monsters that play with fear, and are born masters of manipulating despair. If they get the Sword of Despair and Fear, what will happen? I’m afraid no one in the entire East Coast of the Yana United States can cure it!
Joey naturally reported the situation to the headquarters of the Exorcist Association.
The Exorcist Association also gathered forces half a month ago. The scattered combat forces arrived in Huangmu City one after another, waiting for a grand action.
Tonight, Joey observed the movements of the humans controlled by nightmares as usual. Unexpectedly, they took action at this time. What was worse was that because the number of nightmares in that area was too dense, Yulia didn’t know when she was planted with the fear mark and became the prey of a nightmare. Joey panicked the first time he learned about it.
The fear mark will continue to devour the spirit of the marked person. Only by killing the nightmare that planted the mark in person can it be removed.
He absolutely could not sit back and watch his girlfriend die little by little in the future.
Therefore, Joey made an exception and brought Yulia, an ordinary person, to the action of the Exorcist Association this time. He hoped that in the subsequent fighting and fighting, he could find the nightmare and kill it in person to exorcise it.
In this way, Yulia could return to a peaceful life.
Under the shadow of the tall yellow fir tree, the lovers hugged each other and felt each other’s thumping heartbeats. Joey patted Yulia’s back.
“Don’t be afraid, leave it to me next.”
“I will definitely find the nightmare that planted the fear mark.”
“Even if I can’t, I will beg my father to help me…”
Joey, who has always been quite rebellious because of his strict family education, felt for the first time how lucky he was to have such a strong and reliable father.
Deep in the Citiwood Forest, there was a half-collapsed cave entrance.
One after another, figures in gray robes were busy back and forth. The huge ritual formed a half-crescent shape, covering the surrounding area of 50 to 100 meters. Within this range, human bones that were pale in the moonlight were inserted at key nodes, and scarlet blood connected the bones.
This is the mysterious ritual of the nightmares. Through eighty-one specially selected lives, the desperate kerosene before the death of the living beings is assisted to form an induction ceremony. After ignition, the location of the treasure can be locked.
“Speed up, this ritual will start at zero o’clock.”
A nightmare that looked like a leader, a hoarse and terrifying voice came from under the hood. A few seconds later, it suddenly took off its hat, revealing a strange head. It was clearly a human face, but the surface was covered with a cloud of illusory black smoke, which kept changing into evil spirits, demons, and monsters.
Even the faces of men, women, old and young screaming in pain.
This is the nightmare, a semi-parasitic dark creature. After they devour the life and soul of the host, they will gain some of its physical qualities. When the nightmare descends on the new host, it can give this new body a terrifying blessing, combined with the nightmare’s own mental ability.
Its clan potential is not inferior to that of the werewolf blood clan.
“Remember, no matter what approaches the blood soul ritual, kill them all!” The leader Nightmare snorted coldly, with a ferocious expression: “Exorcist Association, do you think I don’t know that you have been tracking the traces of our Nightmare clan? If you dare to come today, I will send you to death…”
Outside the Citibank Forest, figures wearing white shirts and black vests, which look like hunting clothes and gangster clothes, gradually approached. There were many of them, holding a short knife in the left hand and a pocket glass ball in the right hand. They were cold and silent, as if waiting for something.
In front of them, a tall figure with a black suit on his shoulders, leaning on a cane in his left hand, reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a silver lighter. With a click, the flame swirled and approached the end of the lit cigarette.
The man stood in the darkness, a red light burning and smoke floating.
“Carter, you lead a group of people to cooperate with the police to block the entire forest. Don’t let people outside get in or people inside escape.” The man turned his head and looked at a figure on his left.
“Understood.” The figure nodded.
“The rest of you, enter combat mode, turn on exorcism mode…”
“Today, we’re going to play a big one!”
The man laughed in a low voice, and then led the team into the forest.
Half an hour later, on the outskirts of Huangmu City, outside the Huangsu forest.
The two figures came to the front of a landmark boulder as if they had agreed. One was wearing a gray robe and the other was wearing a black robe. The steps were extremely fast, as if they were flashing and moving, and suddenly appeared.
“Carlo, you are on time.”
The black-robed figure spoke, he had been waiting for a while.
“Vincent, I will never be late for this matter.”
The gray-robed figure walked step by step to the boulder and stopped.
Under the white moonlight, the two took off their hoods at the same time. Suddenly, they revealed two slightly old, but still majestic and powerful faces.
If there were masters of the secret martial arts world on the east coast of the Yana United States watching here, they would definitely exclaim. Because these two people were once famous. Burning Fist Carlo and Blood Hand Vincent are both the first elders of the big schools. They used to be the masters of the sects, and now they have retired to serve as the foundation of the schools. That’s right, these two people have the strength of top fighters.
Twenty or thirty years ago, they loved and killed each other, were both enemies and friends, and even had the title of peerless pride. Their legends are prevalent in the secret martial arts world.
In front of the boulder, Carlo and Vincent were chatting about the past.
“This is the third time we have teamed up since we discovered the cave ruins nine years ago. It is really dangerous inside. Even the top fighters will be in trouble if they are not careful. After three collaborations, we have only opened up the first level of the ruins. I don’t know if we can…”
Fenquan Carlo sighed, as if recalling something.
“The first floor alone has brought a lot of heritage and benefits to our school. Those items with a breath of fear, regardless of their own value, are worth more than the money they can give to the disciples. In the past nine years, the success rate of the new generation of disciples in our school has increased significantly, and they have frequently achieved excellent results in the league…”
Blood Hand Vincent shook his head and continued.
“I really don’t know what kind of treasures will be in the last floor of the ruins? I will die with my eyes wide open if I don’t see them…”
After a few greetings, the two of them rushed towards the woods in the distance.
Soon, they came to the yellow fir forest.
When they were quite close, the two of them stopped suddenly.
In front of them, a group of figures in hunting suits blocked the road. There were even police officers nearby, with torches flickering.
“Who? Who’s there!?”
Members of the Exorcist Association rushed over immediately. Some held short knives, some held glass balls, and looked over with scrutiny.
Carlo and Vincent were motionless, as if they were shocked by them.
“Leave immediately! There is a murder scene ahead! Back off!”
These exorcists in hunting suits pressed forward and shouted.
Less than two meters away, Carlo and Vincent slowly raised their heads, looking past the gap between the exorcists’ bodies and suddenly looking at the darkness behind them: “Friend… Your domineering aura is not suitable for hiding…”
“What friend? I told you to leave immediately, didn’t you hear me?”
Several demon hunters frowned and came up to forcefully drive them away.
Not far away, in the mountains and forests, in the dark shadows. A strong figure like a lion walked out slowly with heavy steps. The moonlight shone down, outlining the tall outline of the body, the high nose bridge, and the long golden hair that was casually draped over the shoulders like a lion’s mane.
On the shoulders, two golden rivets stuck the short cloak behind.
The cloak fluttered up and down, revealing the word “魔” on his back.
He had no expression on his face, and his handsome face looked like a statue.
“Tell me the location of the ruins and I’ll let you two live…”
His tone was plain, but it was ferocious and murderous.
“Haha, good boy!”
Carlo’s expression collapsed, with a sneer.
“This is the first time in the entire East Coast Secret Martial Arts World that someone dares to talk to me like this!” Vincent took off his hood, revealing a strong face.
Three powerful figures, divided into two directions, confronted each other from a distance.
A solemn invisible aura was constantly colliding in the air.
“Hey, what’s going on! How did you get into the woods again? Come out quickly! There’s a murder scene inside, do you want to go to jail?”
Two demon hunters ran over to the left of Saint Lion Simiu.
There was also a policeman following behind, obviously to support them.
However, Saint Lion Simiu, Burning Fist Carlo, and Blood Hand Vincent all ignored the movement beside them. They only had each other in their sight.
“Then let’s try… How strong are you?”
A cold light flashed in Carlo and Vincent’s eyes at the same time, and they rushed out in an instant, with fiery and blood-red spirits bursting out of their bodies.
Saint Lion Simo left a residual image on the spot, and his strength increased at the same time!
Bang! ! !
A surging and violent wind and waves swept away, blowing away the nearby exorcists and police officers. Some unlucky ones hit the trees and fainted on the spot.
Sand and rocks flew, and leaves fell like rain.
Boom boom boom boom!
Three amazingly strong figures, entangled and fought wildly, breaking countless nearly 100-meter-high yellow fir trees along the way, and plunged straight into the depths of the forest. Shockingly, a tunnel visible to the naked eye was dug out.
“Who are they!!!”
On the spot, only some witchers with tears in their eyes and dizzy heads were left standing stupidly. He stared in amazement and jaw-dropping at the three people disappearing in the distance and the shocking traces of destruction they left behind.
