Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 5: Witch Hunting (Part 2)
Qi Ji and Melina saw the bloody and brutal scene before them, and showed their anger with their respective expressions.
"The customs and culture of Xicang Continent are truly amazing." Qi Ji said coldly.
In comparison, the Donghua Continent can be called a country of etiquette.
Melina also frowned and said helplessly: "It is indeed a bit too barbaric."
Outside the carriage, Lancelot and Gawain had already taken action. The cries of women they heard intermittently in the wind along the way were enough for them to judge the current situation.
So they did not hesitate any longer, and drove the carriage directly past the prisoner van team, and then both of them jumped off the carriage together.
The two sides soon met each other.
The knights in the prison car team saw two men approaching with swords in a menacing manner, and silently reined in their horses and stopped.
At the wave of the tallest leading knight, several men rode out on horseback and came before Lancelot and Gawain.
They did not dismount, but looked down at the two men condescendingly.
"What can I do for you, both of you?" A soldier knight stepped forward, speaking politely but with a cold expression.
Gao Wenming was obviously extremely angry, but he still showed a cheerful smile and asked with narrowed eyes: "Officers, you are escorting so many women. May I ask what crime they have committed?"
"They are all confirmed to be vicious demons and female demons. In response to the call of the Holy See, Lord Frye has ordered their arrest. They will be beheaded in the city tomorrow!" The soldier smiled grimly.
Then he looked at the two fiercely and added provocatively: "Anyone who resists arrest or intends to help the witch will be an enemy of the Holy See and Lord Frye."
Lancelot said nothing, and reached out to draw his sword, but Gawain gently held him down.
After calming Lancelot , Gawain continued to ask with a smile: "These witches are sinful and unforgivable. I wonder how strong they are?"
The soldier looked smug and boasted loudly, "Of course they are all powerful and terrifying witches who have killed countless people!"
The many knights following him and behind him also laughed loudly, and their laughter was full of pride and ridicule.
Along with their laughter were the women in the cages crying miserably and shouting their grievances.
Bang!
The sound of a sword cutting flesh was heard, and the laughter of the leading soldier stopped abruptly.
The next second, he slowly fell off the horse and fell face down on the ground. A large pool of blood slowly flowed out from under him.
Gawain held the bloodstained sword to his chest, still smiling, and said, "Since she is a powerful and terrifying witch who has killed countless people, how could she be captured by scum like you?"
"Enemy attack!" All the soldiers reacted immediately. Except for the tall captain and his two guards, more than a dozen soldiers immediately cracked their whips and rode their horses to rush over.
"You talk so much nonsense, but the result is still like this." Lancelot drew his two-handed sword and complained to Gawain before facing the enemy.
Gao Wen smiled and said, "We need to confirm it a little more to make sure we did nothing wrong. Now we can kill with confidence!"
The two men advanced side by side, showing no fear at all when facing more than a dozen soldiers charging on horseback.
The two sides immediately started fighting, and more than a dozen mounted soldiers completely surrounded the two men in a few seconds, making them disappear without a trace.
A few minutes later, Lancelot and Gawain were back to back, with bright red blood all over their bodies.
The two of them were breathing heavily but smiling.
All around their feet were the corpses and body parts of the enemy.
The two extraordinary people faced off against more than a dozen strong soldiers and won completely.
After all, there is an insurmountable wall between extraordinary people and ordinary people.
During the process, the sergeant named Sander and his bodyguard rode their horses in the back and watched the two men slaughter their subordinates calmly.
They remained expressionless and unmoved until more than a dozen of their men were killed or injured.
Seeing this, Gawain raised his head and shouted, "Big guy over there, I have handed over the lives of more than a dozen of your men. With such a huge loss, aren't you afraid of being punished by your city lord ?"
Sandel looked at the two men for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "We can have as many weak civilian warriors as we want. It doesn't matter if they all die."
"You two are quite skilled, and you have already embarked on the path of knighthood at such a young age." Sander's expression was fiery: "Come on, follow me, you can get money and women, it's much better than being a bodyguard or coachman for others."
He actually extended an olive branch to the enemies who slaughtered his men.
Have you seen how tolerant I, Sander, am? Come and cry bitterly, be inspired by me, and become my dog!
Then, he saw the way Gawain and Lancelot looked at him.
Disdain, pity.
It's like looking at a clown.
His face darkened and he dismounted. When he stood up, he was about two meters and twelve meters tall, and he looked extremely strong.
His two personal guards also dismounted and followed closely on both sides of him.
Behind them, the woman in the prison van looked at Sander's huge figure with fear.
It was this man who, like the most terrifying human-shaped beast, slaughtered all the people in the village who dared to resist, just to capture his own group of women and forcibly execute them as witches...
How could such a man be defeated?
Lancelot and Gawain also had solemn expressions. After their opponents dismounted, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from them.
"Level 2?" Gawain confirmed with Lancelot beside him in an inaudible voice.
Lancelot nodded and said, "I'm afraid so."
"We've hit a wall... The mayor of Fly City is at most level three, and how many level two subordinates can he have? And we've run into him?" Gawain tightly gripped the two-handed sword in his hand.
Sander looked at the two Knights of the Round Table with a cruel smile. His face was rough. He reached out from behind and pulled out a half-man-high long-handled axe and said leisurely, "I think the bodies of the two "knights" will make the city lord happier than the bodies of these two carts of ordinary women."
As he spoke, the muscles on his body bulged visibly, especially his legs and arms, which bulged much more than other parts.
As he finished speaking, a handful of dust rose up from under his feet, and suddenly it turned into a huge shadow that rushed in front of the two people.
What followed was a terrifying sweep with great force and power.
To an ordinary person, it would seem that Sandor suddenly appeared in front of Lancelot and the other man while they were talking, and his axe had already hit the raised swords of the two men!
With just one strike, Lancelot and Gawain were sent flying.
A first-level extraordinary person can absorb and condense the extraordinary factors between heaven and earth, that is, attract the "Qi" or "magic power" and retain it in the body. The extraordinary factors stored in the body will unconditionally and comprehensively enhance the extraordinary person's physical functions, allowing the extraordinary person to have nearly three times the original physical strength (in terms of strength value analogy) without changing the body shape and body structure.
The normal physical functions of a second-level extraordinary person may be limited higher than that of a first-level person, but because their bodies have undergone a certain period of adaptation and training and have fully adapted to the existence of extraordinary factors, they can begin to try to manipulate the extraordinary factors in the body with their minds, using the extraordinary factors to stimulate local flesh in a short period of time and unleash power far beyond the limit.
This so-called "power far beyond the limit" is truly far beyond the limit.
For example, if Qi Ji's current maximum strength is thirteen tons, then the normal strength he can exert during ordinary slashing and stabbing is actually less than thirteen tons. Normally speaking, it is good enough if the force efficiency can reach 40% to 50% of the limit.
And if on this basis, he uses the skills and techniques obtained from the Tower of Transcendence, or the various special skills of the various sects on the East China Continent, such as the "Tide Sword" of Jiange, his output efficiency can naturally be greatly enhanced, for example, to 70% to 80% of the thirteen tons, or even 100%.
But in any case, it is impossible to exceed what his maximum strength of thirteen tons can do.
In other words, without the help of "external force", Qi Ji can only make his attack power as close to "thirteen tons" as possible, but it is impossible for his attack power to actually exceed thirteen tons.
But if he reaches the second level and masters the method of manipulating the extraordinary factors to strengthen and stimulate the muscles, then he can truly achieve output beyond the limit.
It can produce an output of fifteen tons, seventeen tons, or even twenty tons!
Therefore, when a first-level warrior faces a second-level warrior, even if they have the same physical fitness, once the second-level warrior uses this technique named "Fa" in Donghua Continent and "Magic Burst" in Xicang Continent.
Then the first level can be defeated almost instantly.
At this moment, Lancelot and Gawain, who had flown out, fell to the ground and vomited blood after being hit by Sandor's powerful axe.
One blow and it was defeated.
Sander walked forward step by step, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "You two are indeed rare geniuses who can enter the path of "Knight" at such a young age, but the gap in "level" is like a chasm, which makes your weakness and my strength so obvious. Even if you are likely to become stronger than me in the future, and even have the opportunity to enter the advanced realm of the third and fourth levels, but now you can only die obediently under my axe!"
After saying that, Sander, who had already walked in front of the two men, raised the long-handled axe high and smashed it down at Gawain first!
Gawain had blood on the corner of his mouth and looked embarrassed, but he did not dodge or evade the attack from Sander. Instead, he had a calm smile on his face.
Cool!
The curtains of the carriage fluttered.
A figure entered quickly and appeared between Gawain and Sandor in an instant.
Sander's long-handled axe that was about to come down was forcibly stopped.
Blocking it was a long sword with a splendid and elegant shape, and the relief at the junction of the guard and the blade looked like a wolf's face.
"Mr. Qi Ji, although it's cool to turn the tide like this, next time you don't have to wait until the last minute to show up, right?"
Gao Wen looked up at Qi Ji's back, smiled innocently and said jokingly: "After all, I'm just a man, I won't be attracted to you."
