Chapter 265
265 – Escape
Faldina’s eyes brimmed with deathly stillness. Suddenly, she felt her sealed strength return to her in full.
Boom!! Following a loud sound, the floor underneath Faldina caved in strangely, and she and Edith fell to the floor below.
Faldina looked coldly at Edith, pointed at him, and a dozen arcane projectiles slammed into him ruthlessly.
With his guard down, Edith barely managed to urge his nearly-attained Sacred Swordsman qi to defend himself before being hit by the dozen arcane projectiles and being sent flying.
At the moment when he was hit by Arcane Projectiles, Edith’s eyes were overcome with shock and incredulity, but he was still sent flying by the strong impact.
Faldina silently chanted an incantation, pointed with her hand, and launched the level-1 spell Dark Fog. A thick, dark fog gushed out and covered everyone in the room at once.
In the thick, dark fog, Dassault’s eyes flashed with graveness, and he took out a jade card. The jade card released fluctuations of divine spell power and white light shot out of it.
Dark Fog was instantly dispelled under the white light.
The Knights of the sword of justice knew that Faldina was a very strong Archwizard, so Dassault carried many magic treasures on him.
The moment Dark Fog was dispelled, Dassault’s figure flickered, and he shot towards the big hole like a bolt of lightning.
Fireball, Ice Cone, Windblade, and other level-1 spells burst out from the hole and crazily slammed towards Dassault.
A brilliant sword ray sparkled. Frightening Sacred Swordsman rank qi was channeled, and a powerful sword ray ring suddenly broke out and slammed into the elemental spells.
The densely packed level-1 spells were completely shattered by Dassault’s sword ray ring.
The qi of the Feisuo Plane was a kind of life energy. Although the capacity of qi was not up to par with that of the inscrutable life energy cultivated by Warlocks, but once it erupted, its strength was enough to crush many low-level spells.
The various level-1 spells only blocked Dassault for a moment. Meanwhile, a pair of wings of wind formed behind Faldina. Surrounded by hurricanes, she smashed the door of the inn and flew outside like if a fairy.
“Weakness!”
“Petrification Ray!”
“Web!”
“Fear!”
“Stun!!”
“…”
Faldina had just rushed out of the inn, when dozens of negative status spells dropped from the sky and slammed towards her.
Bright crystals emerged around Faldina and formed a diamond-shaped magic shield.
The various negative status spells fell on the diamond-shaped magic shield and collapsed immediately.
The numerous diamond-shaped crystals were part of the Legend rank secret treasure crystal network. While it was being operated, no level-1 or level-2 spells could harm Faldina before she depleted her spirit force.
Faced with the numerous spells, Faldina seemed to turn into a huge bird, as she flew towards an alley to the side.
The terrain of the St. Tulan City was very complex. Once Faldina escaped into the complex network of alleys, she could escape with her life.
“Psyche Shock!” An Archwizard silently recited an incantation, point at Faldina, and conjured the level-3 spell Psyche Shock.
Faldina’s lovely body was suddenly jolted, and she fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings.
Although the marvelous crystal network could weaken the power of most level-3 spells, but it could not shield a person from level-3 spells completely.
“Air Bind!” Another Archwizard silently recited an incantation and pointed at Faldina with the magic staff in their hand.
Countless streams of air condensed madly and formed chains that swept towards Faldina and twisted around her firmly.
When Faldina came to her senses, immense spirit force poured into the crystal network. The crystal network released strong magic light and directly dispelled Air Bind.
Cough!! Cough!! Suddenly, Faldina bent over, covered her mouth, and coughed. Blood dripped onto the ground from between her lily-white fingers.
An Archwizard sighed lightly, and his eyes flickered with admiration: “What a terrific little girl! She is of such a tender age, yet already has the cultivation base of an Archwizard! Unfortunately, she is from the Titan Empire!”
Faced with the siege of dozens of Wizards and the offensive of 2 Archwizards, Faldina still nearly managed to escape. In addition to the Legend rank secret treasure crystal network, her own strength was also first class.
“Weakness!”
“Web!”
“Fear!”
“Stun!!”
“…”
A series of spells dropped from the sky and landed on Faldina, yet were blocked by the secret treasure crystal network. Every time a spell was blocked, the crystal network dimmed a bit, and Faldina’s face turned a bit paler.
The 2 Archwizards silently recited incantations and sent binding spells towards Faldina.
Morrince 2,867th wanted Faldina alive, so she had to live. Such was the power of the emperor of the Morrince Empire, which was one of the strongest human empires on the Feisuo Plane.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly, huge explosions engulfed the street.
The Knight and Wizards of the sword of justice were completely engulfed by the frightening explosions.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and stone fragments flew about.
The moment the explosions occurred, the Wizards blessed themselves with defensive spells.
The 2 Archwizards took a few steps back, silently recited incantations, and also blessed themselves with defensive spells.
The people on site had very ugly expressions after the smoke and dust from the explosions dispersed completely, as they discovered that the heavily injured Faldina, who was supposed to be a sitting duck, disappeared.
Still inside the inn, Yang Feng looked outside, sneered, and ridiculed: “The Hansen Family is something else, you even set free a person whom His Majesty wants to capture. It seems that the relationship between the witch and Edith is really intimate!”
In the room, with his hands clasping his head, Edith curled up into a ball despondently. He looked like a waste.
Isere smiled faintly, and started distorting things: “Earl Ian, the Hansen Family is loyal to His Majesty. Edith stabbed the witch with his sword. He never really loved that witch, he just wanted to use her to get information about the Titan Empire.”
“Oh, is that so? Have I misunderstood you, Edith?” Yang Feng looked at Edith, who looked like a corpse, with a look of amazement on his face, and asked with a smile: “Edith, you never really loved Faldina, you just wanted to use her to get information about the Titan Empire, is this true?”
Edith, who looked like a corpse, opened his eyes and stared at Yang Feng. His gemstone-like eyes, which were even prettier than those of a beautiful woman, were full of enmity.
Isere snapped: “Edith, answer Earl Ian! The Hansen Family is a pillar of the Morrince Empire as well as a most loyal vassal of His Majesty. Tell him so!”
Edith’s body trembled slightly, then he bit his lips hard and said while stressing each syllable: “I, Edith, never loved Faldina! I just used her to get information about the Titan Empire!”
Once he uttered those words, Edith broke his lips from biting them to hard. Blood trickled from his lips and dropped to the ground. These words seemed to have sapped his body from all its energy, and he crumpled on the bad, looking lifeless.
“It’s a pity, it seems that I have misunderstood you. I will give an account of everything that happened today to His Majesty. Goodbye!” Yang Feng revealed a smile, turned around, and went outside in large strides.
The Lightning Sacred Swordsman Cassius followed behind Yang Feng while keeping his vigilance, on guard of the members of the sword of justice special force.
Dassault looked at Yang Feng’s back, and his eyes flashing with graveness. He said slowly: “This fellow is very dangerous!”
Isere looked coldly, then sighed slowly, and said regretfully: “The Lightning Sacred Swordsman was actually recruited by him. He is getting more and more of a handful. Damn the Orthux Family.”
If Isere hadn’t coveted the wealth of the Miracle City at the time, he would not have pushed for the hunting fang corps of the Morrince Empire to attack the Miracle City. Later, if the Orthux Family hadn’t supported Yang Feng and pushed for him to gain the status of a hereditary peer earl, the Miracle City wouldn’t be difficult to deal with in Isere’s view.
Now that Yang Feng was a hereditary peer earl of the Morrince Empire and had the Lightning Sacred Swordsman Cassius by his side, it had become even more difficult to deal with him.
As the master of the Miracle City, Yang Feng had great wealth. And as a hereditary peer earl of the Morrince Empire, he was able to turn that great wealth into his strength.
Isere could easily guess that more and more Sacred Swordsmen of the St. Tulan City would choose to join Yang Feng’s camp. Due to his extremely vast fief, the Red Earth Wasteland, even if he granted 10,000 barondoms, that still wouldn't impact him negatively.
It was due to his potential that the Orthux Family chose to support Yang Feng and draw him into their faction.
Not far from the inn, in a hidden basement of an ordinary house, Faldina’s complexion was pale as she gasped for air. Blood trickled down from her belly and fell on the floor.
