Chapter 263 Sword Qi Like a Waterfall
"The door is actually open?"
Ryan saw the bronze door slowly open and guessed that the person who opened the door might be Naretta.
However, this doesn't have much impact.
At the entrance to the third floor of the mausoleum, there were thirty-six gargoyles squatting on the short sacred road. With these alchemical creatures guarding the gate, no matter how many masters came, they could not force their way in.
Ryan didn't think much about it. He quietly went up the stairs and touched the stone pillar near the entrance, intending to take a look.
The magic barrier on the third floor of the underground palace is like a one-way glass. It is pitch black when viewed from the outside, but extremely clear when viewed from the inside.
What Ryan didn't expect was that the commotion outside was quite loud.
At this moment, in the second-floor palace outside the bronze gate.
The well-equipped official knights of the Rosas family were driving a group of about two thousand civilian scavengers towards the bronze gate.
Looking at the tense look on their face, you can tell at a glance that they are not willing to do this.
When Ryan saw it, he immediately guessed what was going on.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he muttered, "Tsk tsk, these guys, so this is what they were planning to do."
…
The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder.
The scavengers who had survived in the first level of the maze were driven down by the Knights of the Rosas Family before they could find a way out.
Originally they thought those guys were kind enough to take them out, but unexpectedly, they arrived at the second floor of the ruins deeper underground.
The scavengers were not stupid. When they saw the poisonous insect corpses all over the ground and the strange bronze gate, they immediately understood something: those noble lords were going to let them go to the minefield again to explore the unknown third level for them.
At this point, the scavengers immediately stopped working.
The previous level of the maze had already caused them heavy casualties, with nine out of ten killed. Now they had encountered a bronze door that no one knew where it led to. No one would agree to explore it.
Because this is basically a death sentence.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? We don't plan to continue exploring the ruins. We want to get out! Why did you bring us here?"
"We are free hunters! Even if you are nobles, you have no right to force us to participate in any hunting operations in the wild!"
"Prince Harper, what you are doing is against the Wilderness Hunters Convention! Aren't you afraid of causing backlash from other Wilderness Hunters..."
“…”
However, what responded to these indignant scavengers were cold and mocking faces and the black muzzles of guns.
As for the Wilderness Convention?
Since the people of the Rosas family planned to use the method of "forced conscription", they naturally had no intention of leaving any survivors.
Prince Harper didn't have the patience to waste time talking to a bunch of dead people, so he said, "Now the land west of the Alcoron Mountains belongs to my 'Glorious Kingdom'. And you are now in the territory of my Rosas family. What I say is the law!"
But as soon as he said this, a hunter immediately retorted: "We, the Mountain Rat Group, are a hunting group of the Omar Empire, not the subjects of your Glorious Kingdom. Besides, this is a wilderness, not subject to the laws of the nobility. Why should we obey your call?!"
There is something right in what this scavenger said.
Whether it was the former "Glorious City" or any territory of the two empires, they paid a high entrance fee, which was equivalent to having the right to hunt in this land.
As free hunters, they have no obligation to obey the call of the lord, even if the other party is a prince!
Hearing this, Prince Harper's face suddenly darkened and he sneered, "Why?"
"Bang!"
"Peng!"
Before he could finish his words, the man responded with two gunshots.
The civilian scavenger opened his eyes wide and fell directly into a pool of blood.
"Just because of this!"
Prince Harper didn't even bother to look at the body, as if it was nothing more than crushing an ant.
He put away his musket, sneered as he looked around at the wasteland hunters, and asked loudly: "Now, does anyone still think that I don't have this right?"
"How dare you kill someone!"
"We are free hunters. Why are you killing people?!"
“…”
The civilian hunters were furious and wanted to ask for an explanation. Although the bullet did not hit them, the death of the rabbit made the fox sad. Everyone saw that the prince of the Rosas family was indifferent to the lives of the civilian hunters.
If you don't do something, the next shot from the other party might hit you.
But what responded to them was the sound of gun bolts being pulled in unison.
Click, click, click…
The noble knights around them immediately pointed their guns at the group of wasteland hunters in the center of the hall.
For a moment, the whole hall was as quiet as a casual conversation.
These surviving civilian hunters were like sheep surrounded by a group of vicious wolves, weak and helpless.
There were only about two thousand surviving wasteland hunters, but there were nearly ten thousand noble knights surrounding them in the hall.
Whether in terms of numbers, equipment, or extraordinary rank, the official knights of the Rosas family far surpass the civilian wasteland hunters.
Moreover, the exit has been blocked. If a fight really breaks out, these individual scavenger hunters will have no chance of survival at all.
Originally being "tricked" into hunting, these civilian hunters were filled with resentment.
Although those nobles had bad intentions, they could only blame themselves for being "greedy" and not anyone else.
They survived a narrow escape...
The survivors also found enough treasures in the maze. As long as they got out alive, they could live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.
It's a blessing in disguise.
But now, I never expected that I would be forced into a desperate situation again.
Those noble knights, with guns at hand, forced them into the front of the bronze gate...
…
On the other hand.
A few minutes ago, when the scavengers in the first floor of the maze were forced by the Knights into the hall to assemble, in the temporary command post not far away.
A man and a woman were drinking tea leisurely, looking very relaxed.
The man had a bald, rat-like face and a hideous scar on his face.
This person is Sid's A+ level wanted criminal, the only surviving thief leader of the "Nine-Headed Phantom Thieves", and the fourth-level assassin [Desert Eagle] Youke.
Of course, he is now a dignified nobleman, "Viscount Yuke" of the Glorious Kingdom.
The charming woman next to him, wearing a revealing gauze dress, was none other than his niece, Moon Beauty, Maritis.
Next to the two men, there was a strong man holding a whip, who would whip the man who was chained not far away from them from time to time.
The guy with whip marks all over his body and looking like he was dying was naturally Guy.
Being whipped became a daily occurrence, but no one could see any pain on his face.
"Do you remember? The scar is caused by you. You killed my brother and chased me for three days and three nights. Tsk tsk, now you have finally fallen into my hands..."
"Guy, when you killed my father and uncles, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
“…”
No matter how he was tortured and humiliated, Guy never made a sound, as if he felt no pain and no humiliation.
This made the two thieves, Yuke and Maritis, unable to feel any pleasure of revenge.
But killing him like this would make him feel too easy.
At this moment, two gunshots rang out throughout the palace.
At this moment, Guy, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, suddenly raised his head, and his pupils focused for the first time.
When I turned around, I saw the scavenger who raised objections being shot dead by Prince Harper, a scene of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey".
Guy's strange expression was noticed by Maritis and Yuke.
The eyes of this charming woman lit up, as if she had thought of something.
She walked over gracefully and said sarcastically, "Hey, Mr. Guy, I almost forgot that you are the legendary Sword of Justice. You hate these bullying behaviors the most."
After a pause, she continued, "Oh, look, the poor and innocent scavenger was shot dead. What should we do, Mr. Guy, who represents justice?"
“…”
Guy looked up at her, a hint of coldness flashing across his expression.
He had indeed killed many such guys in the past.
No matter who they come from, nobles, wealthy people, gangsters... as long as they do evil, they will be treated equally.
"Oh, our Mr. Guy is angry?"
When Maritis saw the murderous look in Guy's eyes, she was not afraid but sneered at him.
She asked repeatedly, "Don't you like to fight for justice? Don't you want to eradicate all evil in time? What about the justice you uphold?"
Seeing Guy like that gave her more satisfaction than a whip could ever give her.
She added, "Now I am not afraid to tell you that this plan was my idea. None of the more than 2,000 hunters will survive. They will all die here. But...what can you do to me?"
At this time, the bald Yuke at the side also interrupted, with a wicked smile in his eyes, "Oh... forgive me for just hearing about it, Mr. Guy, you actually have a daughter? Tsk tsk, don't worry, she will not survive after this hunting. I will definitely arrange someone to take good care of her..."
After hearing what the two said, Guy finally stopped being silent and spoke.
He asked calmly, "Do you know... why I tolerated your misbehavior all along?"
Maritis didn't care about the cold tone at all and asked provocatively: "Hey , why?"
She really enjoyed the other person's angry look as if he wanted to kill her but couldn't.
Guy replied calmly, "Because I have been reflecting on a question over the years: Should people who make mistakes have a chance to reform themselves?"
After a pause, he continued, "I think it is understandable that you seek revenge on me. Even if you want to kill me, I don't think you deserve the death penalty..."
Hearing this, Maritis felt as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
A look of crazy disdain appeared on her face, and she sneered, "Hahahaha... Mr. Guy, you are still so righteous! We want to kill you, and you think we don't deserve to die?"
"No, you deserve to die. But not because you want to kill me, but because of them."
Guy shook his head and looked at the free hunters who were being forced into the bronze gate.
First came to excavate this ruins,
The Rosas family told us that there was a maze and monsters in the underground palace...
Although there was a suspicion of deception, no one was forced at all.
The hunters suffered heavy casualties, which was the price they paid for their greed and carelessness.
But now, this is blatantly forcing people to die.
That is truly "evil".
As he said this, the fierce light in Guy's eyes that had never wavered became more and more solid, and he said again: "If you change your ways, even though you were guilty in the past, I will not be qualified to kill you. But if you continue to do evil, I will not tolerate you..."
"You said you wanted to kill us because of those civilian wasteland hunters?"
Yuke laughed at the side, "Your reasons are still so ridiculous. Even in this situation, you are still so naive and stupid!!!"
Not to mention the indirect deaths, even if he was asked to kill thousands of people with his own hands, this leader of the largest phantom thieves group in Theed would not have any psychological burden at all.
But I didn't arrive first. Will the other party want to kill me for this reason?
He laughed and said, "Mr. Guy, when it comes to killing people, you have killed tens of thousands of people, much more than us. Excuse me, do you deserve to die?"
"Everyone must pay for their mistakes..."
Guy did not argue, but said calmly: "I have killed innocent people, so I am naturally guilty of great sins... But I have never doubted the justice of my insistence! Good deeds cannot make up for bad deeds, and bad deeds cannot cancel good deeds. I deserve to die , but you deserve to be killed too!"
This statement completely angered the two Phantom Thieves.
Maritis walked in front of Guy and continued to sneer, "Yo... Mr. Guy, how are you going to kill me? Just with your mouth?"
She had originally tried to torture this guy with her mental power, but she had never expected that the other party was so determined that he would definitely not give her the slightest chance to use his mental power.
Now that she finally saw Guy showing some emotion, this enchanting beauty immediately took action.
Her slender fingers slid down Guy's body and slid to three fingers below his belly button. She did not even try to hide the sight of her loose gauze skirt, as if she wanted Guy to see it clearly.
Happy? You're overthinking...
Lust can make people happy, but it can also make them experience the most painful torture in the world!
But Guy was totally unmoved, he looked at the body of Maritis in front of him with a calm gaze, as if he was looking at a pink skeleton.
At this moment, a sharp sword light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a low voice came out of his throat: "With the sword in my hand!"
At this moment, Guy, who had been like a walking corpse, suddenly changed his aura.
The flame that seemed to be swaying in the wind and about to go out at any time suddenly erupted like a volcano and turned into a scorching sun!
The energy suddenly expanded, causing sand and rocks to fly all around, and an extremely amazing fighting spirit erupted.
And in a flash, behind him... the sword energy was like a waterfall!
The golden sword qi, like thousands of golden scales, flowed upstream in the Dou Qi waterfall...
This made the people around him, looking at this majestic momentum, instinctively feel a tremor from the depths of their souls. Just like an ant looking up at an elephant, people could see a deep despair.
At this moment, Guy looked like a god, with one hundred and eighty thousand golden sword energies wandering around his body, radiating a brilliant light.
He slowly stood up.
The iron chains on his body seemed to be made of paper and broke crisply under the attack of the sword energy.
…
Seeing this scene, Maritis and Yuke opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief. They were forced to lose their balance by the overwhelming fighting spirit and took several steps back.
"How is it possible! You... aren't you a useless person..."
"The Silver Leaf Clan's 'Break Vein Poison' has no cure at all. How...how could you..."
These two people never expected that the "useless person" they thought would actually possess such a strong fighting spirit.
And the scary thing is, I didn't even sense it before...
This amount of fighting spirit is several times stronger than what they saw when "Sword of Justice Guy" was at its most powerful period!
In fact, he is stronger than any fifth-level expert they have ever seen!
Perhaps only the “Ten Legends” can possess such terrifying fighting spirit!
What’s more, the most terrifying thing is the “sword intent” that makes people feel frightened at the sight of it!
Yuke was shocked and asked, "What kind of 'sword intent' is this?!"
He had personally experienced Guy's [Pure Sword Intent] in the past. Although it was very strong and made people feel a murderous sharpness, it was already the first-class sword intent that a swordsman in the world could comprehend.
But compared with the golden sword in front of him, it felt like it was at a completely lower level!
As the sword intent came out, Youke felt as if all the evil thoughts in his heart had been killed. Before he could even make a move, it was as if his soul had been chopped in half.
It's like a rat in a sewer suddenly seeing the sunlight, with an instinctive sense of fear.
"How is it possible... Even when he was at his peak, he couldn't have suppressed me to the point where I couldn't make a move..."
The shock on Yuk's face turned into despair. He found himself wanting to draw his knife, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't do it.
"This is... artistic conception suppression!"
On the other hand, [Moon Beauty] Maritis's "Lust Sequence" is originally a spiritual extraordinary.
She is much more resistant to the suppression of this artistic conception.
But she also understood instantly that this was not a suppression of extraordinary cultivation, but a suppression of artistic conception!
A kind of oppression that comes from the soul, momentum and spirit.
However, he and Uncle Youke were both at the fourth level, and even the "Ten Legends" would not suppress them to this extent.
Oh my god, this guy...what kind of terrifying "artistic conception" has he comprehended? !
Guy walked over step by step, muttering something, "With the sword in my hand, I will defend the justice in my heart!"
