Soon, Qi Ji and his friends arrived at a small hotel.
Gawain and Lancelot go to the backyard to park the carriage.
Qi Ji led Melina, who was wearing a cloak, into the hotel.
The hotel was deserted, with only the boss sitting at the counter with a sad face. After seeing Qi Ji, his expression improved slightly, but he was still sad.
"Welcome." One could tell from the boss's voice that he was forcing himself to say the welcome.
Qi Ji looked around and said with a smile: "Boss, your business is just average."
The boss was a middle-aged man who had experienced a lot. When he heard Qi Ji's ridicule, he forced a smile and said, "Sir, you are joking. This is not business at all. This is no business."
Qi Ji spread his hands and said, "Indeed, when I entered the city just now, I saw very few people entering and leaving the city gate."
The boss sighed, "Ever since the strict policy of witch hunting was implemented, people in Frye City have been strictly restricted from leaving the city. The news of a large number of women being beheaded has spread, and outsiders almost no longer come here to do business. How can business be good..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Melina who was silent behind Qi Ji, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Guest, if you are coming to the city from outside, please be careful to protect your female companion. Recently, Lord Frye and his city guards have been hunting witches more and more crazily. I have heard a lot of rumors..."
Then, as if he had been holding it in for a long time, he shared with Qi Ji and the others the rumors he had heard about Lord Frye secretly capturing the wives of merchants coming from outside the city and abducting women from villages and towns outside the city.
Qi Ji and Melina looked at each other. Based on the city guards and prison car that they had dealt with before entering the city, the boss was telling the truth about many rumors.
Nine times out of ten it’s true.
Night falls.
Qi Ji and his friends checked into four guest rooms at the hotel. After tasting the simple meals prepared by the owner himself, they returned to their respective rooms together.
In the room, Qi Ji, who had taken off his armor before dinner, put it back on silently.
He planned to assassinate Lord Frye.
As a young man who has received a good modern education on Earth and has extremely correct values.
Now we see the tyrannical policies being implemented by Lord Frye and the people being oppressed by terror under his rule.
At the same time, Qi Ji now has the corresponding abilities.
If he doesn't do anything about this, he really won't be able to get over it.
He is not some saint or righteous ally.
I just simply thought that it would be great if there was someone like Lord Frye living in the same world with him.
The breath exhaled by Lord Frye may go through a series of transmissions and be absorbed into his body.
He felt extremely uncomfortable.
But now he has the ability to make such a guy unable to breathe anymore.
So why not do it?
Soon, his equipment was ready. He just had to wait until the night became completely dark and the vigilance of the city guards and the city lord dropped to the lowest point before he could go out.
However, he didn't wait to take the initiative.
Before it was completely dark, there was a burst of noise outside the hotel.
As balls of fire were reflected outside the window, Qi Ji looked out.
A whole team of fully armed soldiers holding torches had quietly occupied the open space in front of the hotel.
Downstairs, the hotel owner's trembling voice of inquiry was heard, followed by his cry of pain as he was pushed to the ground, and the continuous shouting of a large group of men.
"They're on the third floor!"
"Hurry! Don't give them a chance to run away!"
"Capture the witch first. If the other three men resist, kill them without mercy!"
…
The sound of someone going up the stairs was heard in a mess, and Qi Ji heard it clearly with his super hearing that was far superior to others.
He gave an icy smile.
Okay, I didn’t find it, but they found it first!
He put the wolf sword on his back, put on the wolf shield in his left hand, drew the single sword hanging at his waist with his right hand, pushed open the door and walked out.
As soon as I walked out into the corridor, I saw a group of soldiers crowded together in the corridor, running towards me with ferocious and excited smiles on their faces.
The moment they saw Qi Ji, they all shouted loudly.
“Here!”
"It's one of the men, kill him!"
“Kill!”
As they spoke, the soldiers at the front raised their weapons and attacked Qi Ji without saying a word.
Behind Qi Ji, several doors opened one after another, and Melina, Lancelot and Gawain, who had not had time to put on armor, walked out together.
Lancelot and Gawain, both holding two-handed swords, were about to step forward to help.
Then the three of them saw a scorching aura emanating from Qi Ji, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a human-shaped ball of fire.
The ball of fire rushed towards the soldiers, and the single sword in Qi Ji's hand was wrapped with a layer of flame-like phenomenon visible to the naked eye.
The God of Fire, Kagura! The Battle Storm Blade!
With the help of breathing techniques, Qi Ji held the flame-wrapped single sword in his right hand and slashed at high speed, as if turning into a fire tornado, and quickly swept across the entire corridor in just two seconds.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Along with the sound of blades cutting flesh, more than a dozen soldiers who rushed forward in the corridor were turned into a large number of broken limbs and arms by Qi Ji's high-speed slashing!
Blood rained down from the sky, turning the corridor on the third floor of the hotel into a hellish sight.
Behind Qi Ji, there was no longer a single enemy standing in the corridor.
At the stairs at the end of the corridor, several soldiers who followed up saw the man covered in blood and the hellish scene behind him, and could not help but scream in extreme fear.
This man is a devil!
The next second, these soldiers were also beheaded by Qi Ji with a single blow.
In less than half a minute, an entire team of twenty city guards were killed by Qi Ji.
Qi Ji, covered in blood, walked downstairs step by step. When he reached the first floor, he saw the captain of the city guard sitting at the dining table, and a soldier sitting beside the captain, bending over with a fawning look on his face.
That soldier was the city gate guard who checked Qi Ji and his carriage entering the city today.
Next to the two city guards, on the ground, the humorous innkeeper who had been chatting and laughing with Qi Ji and the others during dinner just now was lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
The boss said proudly during the meal that when he received the news that the city lord was hunting witches, he sent his wife and daughter back to the countryside early for safety reasons. Although he is now alone in the store, at least his family's lives are safe.
Now, because there were female guests staying in the hotel, they were implicated and died inexplicably...
What a disgusting and miserable world!
Qi Ji took a deep breath, and in front of the horrified eyes of the city guard captain and the informant soldier opposite him, he turned into an evil ghost completely covered in blood and flames.
Die!
Inside the hotel, two screams of extreme fear suddenly stopped.
When Melina and the two knights rushed downstairs, all they saw was Qi Ji standing there silently.
And two headless bodies.
"Mr. Qi Ji..." Melina took a step forward, not knowing what to say.
Qi Ji let out a long sigh, his face calming down from anger. He turned around and said to the three people, "The three of you find a place to hide. When it's daybreak, we will gather at the west city gate and set off."
He looked at Gawain and Lancelot again: "You two, protect Melina well, it should be okay, right?"
The two nodded.
"Please lend me your cloak." Qi Ji looked at Melina and said lightly.
Melina looked at Qi Ji with eyes that seemed to be shining. She immediately took off her cloak and handed it to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji took it, put it on, fastened the buckles on his chest, put on the hood, and his entire face was hidden in the shadows.
Melina was wearing a long cape that reached down to her calves, but it didn't even reach over Qi Ji's knees.
"Mr. Qi Ji, are you going to kill the city lord?" Melina finally couldn't help but asked.
When the two knights heard her words, they looked at Qi Ji in surprise.
Qi Ji nodded his head slightly under his hood: "Well...if I don't kill him, I will be upset and unable to sleep."
"I understand, I wish you success!" Melina smiled brightly.
The two knights beside her looked at Qi Ji in shock.
Although we already know for sure that this guy is terribly strong, but what confidence does he have that he dares to challenge a true third-level master just after entering the extraordinary realm?
Qi Ji didn't say anything more to the three of them, turned around and left the hotel.
After walking out of the hotel door, he figured out the direction, then jumped up heavily, and then landed on the roof of the hotel like a feather.
During dinner in the evening, the innkeeper told him the direction of the city lord's inner castle.
Well, let's use the information given by the boss to facilitate his revenge.
Looking in the corresponding direction, one can see in the distance a luxurious inner castle built on a higher slope.
Under the moonlight, a cold smile appeared on Qi Ji's face.
The next moment, he, covered by a dark cloak, turned into a black shadow and leaped quickly between the buildings, perfectly avoiding the soldiers patrolling the streets under curfew, and soon arrived at his destination.
Frye City, the inner castle of the city lord.
He raised his head and looked at the city wall which was much shorter than the outer city wall, but still nearly ten meters high.
The view seemed not to be blocked by the city wall, but passed through the wall and looked directly at the city lord's mansion at the highest point of the castle.
…
In the City Lord's Mansion, at this moment, Frye City Lord Varner was walking out of his secret room with his head down, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Then, a long tongue stretched out from his mouth and gently licked away the blood.
On the floor in front, the Mediterranean Clerk was kneeling on the ground. He saw the city lord's tongue that was not like that of a human out of the corner of his eye, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
He reported in a trembling voice: "Lord City Lord, today's witch hunting operation has failed twice. I am reporting this to you!"
Lord Frye smiled gently, walked to his throne and sat down gently: "Tell me, what's the situation."
The clerk immediately spoke quickly: "First of all, the deputy commander of the city guard, Sander, and all his subordinates were killed several kilometers away from the city while transporting a large number of newly captured witches back to the city."
"Okay, I understand. What about the second thing?" The city lord's voice showed no emotion.
The secretary was even more frightened, and reported very quickly: "The second thing is that just now a team of city guards went to capture a foreign witch, but encountered fierce resistance. All the soldiers in the team died, and the rebels are nowhere to be found."
The city lord was silent for a while, and huge pressure began to gather towards the clerk.
Just before he was about to piss his pants from fear, he couldn't hold on any longer.
The city lord laughed, "It seems that we have caught a real witch. Send out orders to close the city gates and search the entire city."
The clerk immediately fell to the ground and responded loudly: "Yes, sir!"
Seeing that the secretary didn't dare to look at him and ran away like the wind, Lord Frye didn't care.
He just smiled grimly and murmured, "I wonder if the blood and flesh of this witch are as delicious as those of pure virgins."
"And the man who was spying on me in the square. Although I couldn't see his face, the scent of his flesh and blood was deeply engraved in my mind..."
"Now, that fragrance is lingering in my castle..."
"Come on, come to me quickly..."
If someone could see Lord Frye's appearance at this moment, they would be terrified.
Because, although it still had human facial features, it did not look like a human face at all.
In the empty lobby, sinister laughter that did not sound like something human could make echoed, becoming increasingly crazy.
…
Just when Lord Frye ordered a city-wide search for the whereabouts of Melina and others.
Qi Ji had easily crossed the inner castle wall and successfully entered the city lord's inner castle with the superb skills brought by the Flying Sword Style, Ba Style and Phantom Butterfly Ninja Technique.
With his ninja-like skills, Qi Ji almost completely avoided all the sentries inside the castle.
There were some fixed sentries that did not move at all and were guarding specific passages, and they were all shot to death by Qi Ji with his ghostly flying knives.
These fixed outposts actually showed Qi Ji the way to the city lord's location more clearly.
Until he wound his way up and pushed open a huge door.
Behind the door is a spacious atrium.
Inside the atrium, the clerk stood proudly, without any of the servile, frightened and humble look he had when he was in front of the city lord.
Behind him stood rows and rows of armored soldiers, all looking at Qi Ji with murderous intent.
The secretary looked at Qi Ji, who was surrounded by them. He was tall, wearing a cloak and a hood, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. He said in a proud voice: "When the city lord ordered me to take people to guard this place, I was confused. I didn't expect that there was a rat squatting here!"
The nearly one hundred guards behind him made him look extremely confident: "There are a hundred elite soldiers here, you little rat, just surrender!"
He fully expected that the enemy, who were playing tricks and daring not to reveal their true faces, would kneel down and beg for mercy under his overwhelming numerical advantage.
Unexpectedly, the tall cloaked man opposite didn't even take off his hood. His face couldn't be seen clearly in the shadow of the hood, only his murderous eyes were shining.
The clerk shouted angrily: "If you refuse to surrender, then die!"
"Crossbowmen, release your arrows!"
Under his command, at least half of the soldiers took out their bows and crossbows.
The sound of the bowstring being plucked was heard.
The next second, a torrential rain of arrows shot towards Qi Ji!
In front of dozens of flying arrows, Qi Ji smiled coldly, and the cloak on the left half of his body suddenly rose up.
Then the cloak was instantly penetrated by the rain of arrows.
Ding ding ding ding dang dang!
Amidst a series of dense metal collision sounds, the cloak slowly fell and dispersed.
What caught the eyes of the clerk and all the soldiers was a large shield with a wolf face pattern carved on its surface.
All the arrows were completely blocked by this big shield!
The next second, Qi Ji’s lowered head appeared above the big shield. His eyes, still shining under the hood, trembled slightly, and a monstrous murderous intent spread out and rushed out!
One side of the heart!
With just one glance, more than half of the soldiers, including the clerk, were terrified. Their stomachs contracted uncontrollably and they fell to the ground, vomiting continuously.
The remaining small half of the soldiers, perhaps because of their extraordinary willpower, or because of their high level of cultivation and full of spirits, were able to resist Qi Ji's murderous intimidation.
They shouted and raised their swords and spears to kill Qi Ji.
However, their fate was even more tragic.
They were not mentally intimidated by Qi Ji, and what they faced was the two-meter-long wolf sword in Qi Ji's hand!
Qi Ji held the shield in front of him and the wolf sword at the side of his face, making a one-handed sword-holding posture similar to the bull posture.
A second later, he stomped his right foot on the ground suddenly, and the floor tiles were broken by his huge foot force, but his figure had already turned into a series of afterimages and rushed out rapidly!
The God of Fire Kagura!
Wolf swordsmanship——Wolf arrow thrust!
Chi chi chi!
With one thrust, four consecutive sounds of flesh being pierced by metal were heard.
Qi Ji led the four enemies pierced by his sword and slammed the sword into the wall. When he pulled it out, the people on the sword screamed and fell to the ground, and died a few seconds later.
Qi Ji had already jumped right above the crowd on the other side.
Bang!
Wolf pounces!
With a move of inverted sword, he nailed a sergeant who looked the tallest and strongest to the ground.
Although the surrounding soldiers were shocked, they still reacted immediately and stabbed their spears at Qi Ji in the center in an orderly formation.
Qi Ji sneered, spun his body at high speed, and swung the wolf sword with one hand, sweeping it in a counterclockwise direction at high speed!
With the first high sweep, all the spears stabbing at him were cut off!
With the second low sweep, all the soldiers rushing towards him were cut in half!
Qi Ji did not stop, and once again leaped into the next wave of gathered soldiers...
Five minutes later.
The entire courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was flooded with blood, and pieces of limbs and flesh were scattered everywhere.
The groans of soldiers who were not yet dead could be heard from time to time.
Qi Jilang held his sword upside down and stabbed it down suddenly, ignoring the clerk's pleading eyes and blasting his head.
Then he took a deep breath and walked towards the next room step by step on the smooth floor covered with blood.
Fighting one against a hundred is just a piece of cake.
If these one hundred soldiers were all replaced by first-level transcendents, maybe they could still be considered average.
Qi Ji pushed open the door, and there were no more soldiers guarding the subsequent corridors and rooms.
He took the spiral staircase to the top floor of the city lord's inner castle, walked through a long corridor, and finally pushed open an extremely tall door at the end.
Inside, Lord Frye sat on the high lord's chair like a little giant, overlooking him.
"You're here!" A deep and powerful voice came from the city lord's mouth, "I knew that those rubbish couldn't stop you."
Qi Ji raised his head slightly and looked at the mountain-like city lord. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and he could see the weirdness of this city lord at a glance.
He had a bald head, eyes that were set far apart, and his pupils were turned outward, completely unfocused.
In his bloody mouth were teeth as sharp as files, and his long, pointed tongue stuck out from between his teeth and kept swinging.
A large amount of saliva flowed out of his mouth, and the fishy smell filled the entire city lord's room.
Qi Ji sneered: "It turns out that the city lord has already turned into a complete monster."
Lord Frye slowly shook his head and said in a voice full of pride: "No, no, no, I'm not a monster."
As he spoke, more smelly liquid flowed from the corners of his mouth: "I am a loyal follower of the invincible demon lord "Beelzebub the Gluttonous", and I am the pioneer of the demons to break through this world."
"And you..."
The pupils in Lord Frye's eyes were moving around, as if he wanted to focus on Qi Ji, but he could never focus, so he simply controlled one eye to look at him.
"The best, most delicious flesh and blood on your body will become the nutrients for me to be promoted to a higher-level follower and exert a stronger gluttonous power."
“Hoo-hoo-hoo—”
After Lord Frye announced that Qi Ji was his ingredient, his aura was no longer restrained and spread out as terrifying might.
Waves of huge resentment dissipated madly, carrying with them the despair of countless innocent women who were devoured by it, and turned into dark images that spread towards Qi Ji.
Then, Lord Frye slowly stood up. The window behind his seat, which was originally illuminated by the bright moonlight and appeared bright, was now completely blocked by his body as tall as a hill.
After just a few steps, Lord Frye stood face to face with Qi Ji.
Judging from the size alone, Lord Frye, who is at least three meters tall, can be called a giant.
Qi Ji, who is less than 1.9 meters tall, looks as small as a child in front of such a giant.
Qi Ji raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly. He showed no fear of the giant at all: "You are very tall, so I guess it will waste a lot of food. Killing you can save food for many people."
“Hoo-hoo-hoo—”
Lord Frye let out a gasp that sounded like laughter, lowered his head and looked at Qi Ji, his mouth corners cracked, revealing his fangs.
"Strictly speaking, I wasn't that tall and strong. Ever since I received the blessing from Lord Beelzebub, I have the ability to grow stronger by swallowing food..."
Lord Frye seemed to be recalling the pleasure he felt when enjoying his food, and a large amount of smelly saliva gushed out from the corners of his mouth like a waterfall.
"At first, I ate a lot of delicious food, and I became stronger quickly. Later, those delicious foods gradually lost their appeal to me, so I started eating raw blood. Later, blood food couldn't satisfy me, so I ate all kinds of small animals alive..."
"Later, I also lost interest in animals. But my wife, that bitch, was afraid of me and wanted to leave me just because she saw me eating animals alive!"
Lord Frye's expression turned into anger, and then he drooled a lot: "She is so delicious!"
He looked at Qi Ji with his crooked eyes and said with a smug smile: "From now on, except for delicious women, I will no longer be interested in any food."
Qi Ji looked at him expressionlessly: "So, in order to maintain your gluttonous desire and obtain women's bodies in a reasonable way, you launched a witch hunt?"
"Huhuhuhuhu——You are very smart!" Lord Frye laughed sinisterly and slowly extended a hand to Qi Ji. "I changed my mind. I won't eat you anymore. You are a talented person. Cooperate with me. Let's become the vanguard of Lord Beelzebub and conquer this world together..."
The sword flashed!
Bang!
"……boundary……"
Lord Frye's huge arm spun and flew up.
Qi Ji held high the Wolf Sword that had been used to slash people, his face was as cold as ice, but his eyes were filled with two balls of exploding flames.
As Lord Frye covered the broken end of his arm and screamed in pain while retreating.
He said coldly: "You make me feel sick."
At the same time, the wolf sword in his hand turned into a phantom and disappeared, turning into a deformed giant sword that looked like a piece of black rock.
The next second, black and red flames ignited on the huge sword.
Manyan Extra Large Sword——Manyan Flame Mode!
Well then, you disgusting demon apostle, become the ghost under my sword!
