Chapter 1542 - 8: Holy Healing Church

Chapter 1542: Chapter 8: Holy Healing Church

The shackles in Su Xiao’s hand were sliced into several pieces, and before anyone could react, he swung sideways, sending a head with a stupefied expression flying into the air.

Bang!

A swath of yellow crystals flew towards Su Xiao, diamond fragment bullets. Su Xiao pushed out with his left hand, an energy shield appeared at his side, deflecting all the diamond bullets.

Slish, slish...

The long knife swept past, among the dozen or so men and women in black beside Su Xiao, only one managed to escape. He sprinted forward a few steps and dove into a street-side shop.

Pale blue blade aura closely followed, and as the man in black just plunged into the shop, the blade aura cut open his spine.

From the rooftop of the two-story building, the bearded man witnessed everything, his eyes showing horror. He turned around to flee, and at that moment, a sharp pain shot through his leg. Looking down, he saw a large black and white furred dog biting his calf.

With a swoosh, the sound of the wind came, a long knife pierced through the bearded man’s left shoulder, with blue steel shadow energy cascading, permeating into his body.

"Ah!!"

The bearded man let out a loud scream, the veins on his face bulging, but he was not a kind-hearted person. As he was stabbed, he had already drawn a short dagger from his waist, aiming it at Su Xiao’s lower three paths.

A light blue crystal layer wrapped around Su Xiao’s calf, he kicked straight, directly striking the dagger’s blade tip.

After a crisp sound, the short dagger was broken by Su Xiao’s kick, it was clear that the crystal layer form of the blue steel shadow was harder than steel.

"Where’s Issa?"

Su Xiao pressed down with the Dragon Slash in his hand, the bearded man collapsed painfully onto his knees.

"Bah!"

The bearded man spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Su Xiao tilted his head to dodge.

"I will never betray Lundorf... ah!!"

With force from Su Xiao’s hand, the Dragon Slash pierced into the bearded man’s chest, slowly cutting toward his heart.

"Hey, hey, wait!"

The bearded man’s bloodied hand lifted.

"As fellow warriors, can you give me a clean death? Also, don’t kill Lundorf’s sole offspring."

Blood trickled down the bearded man’s mouth.

"Okay."

Su Xiao found this bearded man a bit strange, the first request was reasonable, but sparing Lord Lundorf’s only son seemed odd.

"That b|itch... is in the Royal Palace."

Slish.

The long knife pierced through the bearded man’s chest, he fell to the ground, a purple treasure box appearing beside his corpse.

Picking up the treasure box, Su Xiao leapt down from the second-story rooftop, he hadn’t fought a large group of soldiers in a long time.

Previously, after Su Xiao ’surrendered’ and retreated, the soldiers returned, wielding gleaming knight heavy swords.

Su Xiao was instantly surrounded, he sheathed the Dragon Slash in his hand, posing for the Drawn Sword Slash.

"Stab!"

A shout came from behind the soldiers, dozens of soldiers rapidly closed in on Su Xiao, holding their swords double-handed, the sword tips pointing directly at him.

The surrounding soldiers drew closer, these were obviously soldiers used to employing the human sea tactic. 120 soldiers divided into three squads, the innermost thirty, wearing heavy armor, responsible for close combat with the enemy. Moving outward were fifty halberd soldiers, if the first squad was wiped out, they’d cover the front immediately. The third squad wore leather armor, highly mobile, preventing enemies from escape.

soldiers formed three rings encircling Su Xiao, the first squad’s dozen longswords were within 30 centimeters, judging by the stability of these swords, these soldiers were experienced killers.

"Kill!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and at that moment, Su Xiao’s long knife unsheathed, a surge of blood energy clinging to the blade.

Ring Break.

Clang,

The long knife rang crisply, a scarlet ring-shaped blade aura spread outwards, armor, heavy swords, flesh all severed on contact.

The scarlet blade aura dissipated after spreading at least fifty meters, the surrounding soldiers stood frozen, a blood line appeared on the armor at their chests.

Thud, thud...

Bodies sliced in half fell to the ground, after one slash from Su Xiao, the entire street fell silent, within a fifty-meter radius, the buildings bore barely visible slash marks. Though they seemed unaffected, these structures had been cut through.

"Bu Bu, have you determined the Royal Palace’s location yet?"

Just as Su Xiao spoke, a nearby building collapsed with a roar.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang, who had blended into the environment, emerged. Previously, when Su Xiao was feigning surrender, it had integrated into the surroundings, scouting ahead.

"Lead the way."

Su Xiao walked over the scattered corpses on the street, he initially considered a secret infiltration, but found it too inefficient, far less effective than breaking through.

Clang, clang~

With two slashes, A Mu, tied like a dumpling, regained freedom. This honest ’Niu’ was furious, after tying it up, the guards hadn’t held back on the kicks. The reason remained unknown, a failed feign of surrender, followed by a beating, no wonder A Mu was upset.

The man, the dog, and the cow swiftly ran down the street, the situation now simple: directly break into the Royal Palace. The world’s difficulty level was Lv.30 to Lv.42, indicating that as long as Su Xiao wasn’t excessively unlucky, he wouldn’t encounter an unmanageable enemy.

City center, inside the Royal Palace of the Aoshan Kingdom.

The Aoshan Kingdom, newly founded twenty years ago, lacked profundity, even its name derived from the King’s hometown.

The King of Aoshan Kingdom, Lundorf, did not like being called King, since kings on this continent held little value, preferring people to address him as Lord, while his confidants simply called him sir.

At this moment, inside the Royal Palace, Lundorf wore a troubled expression.

"Issa, are you sure those pursuing you are not Witch Hunters? Not sanctioned by the Holy Healing Church, Witch Hunters?"

Lundorf picked up his wine glass, drank deeply, wearing a red gown embroidered with gold thread, despite dressing neatly, his manner was crude.

"Definitely not."

A slightly hoarse female voice came forth, the woman wore a witch hat, the very target Su Xiao was hunting, Issa.

"Then why flee to me."

Though crude, Lundorf wasn’t stupid; by the portable package Issa carried, she clearly escaped from the Magdeburg Gathering Place.

"I don’t want to be targeted by those lunatics from the Holy Healing Church, I shouldn’t need to explain further."

Issa didn’t disclose the truth; in fact, she knew well, if Aiseya told her to flee, it nearly meant she couldn’t oppose the pursuer.

"Holy Healing Church..."

Lundorf’s expression grew more troubled; compared to other kingdoms or gathering places on the continent, the Holy Healing Church was a most fearsome entity, an organization dedicated to hunting witches.

"Sir, sir!"

A guard in golden armor rushed into the Council Hall, appearing very flustered.

"Speak."

Lundorf stood up, never taking his eyes off Issa.

"Sir, the person you’re after has been found."

"Oh, then bring him up."

Lundorf’s face turned displeased; his subordinates’ panic caused loss of face before Witch Issa.

"This..."

The guard looked troubled, his voice lowered, for Su Xiao was about to break into the Royal Palace, the main street’s five thousand troops had been dispersed.

"The fugitive... is about to break into the Royal Palace?!"

Lundorf felt he might’ve misheard; even if the Holy Healing Church hunted witches, they wouldn’t charge into a Royal Palace. It was simply absurd.

Upon hearing this, Issa beside him was visibly startled.

Boom!

A loud noise sounded, seeming as if something had slammed against the outer wall of the Royal Palace.

Clang...

Large slash marks appeared on the Council Hall’s iron door, the door shattered.

Wielding the long knife, Su Xiao stepped into the Hall, blood dripping from the blade tip.
