CHAPTER 265: CHAPTER 113: ARRIVAL OF CELESTIAL KINGDOM ARMAMENT

The flesh and blood truly struggle to resist the metal storm of steel machines. Even Lin Rui’s shield couldn’t hold up, needing continuous casting to sustain. These immobile Holy Temple Knights were immediately shredded under the war machine’s onslaught, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Rows of knights were hit by a barrage of bullets, bursting apart, sending severed limbs and bones scattering in all directions.

A cacophony of system notifications sounded, and Lin Rui’s experience bar whirled rapidly.

[Ding, Explorer Level increased by one.]

[Ding, Revelation Sound trait has been triggered, rewarded with one point in Charm.]

Indeed, the tables turn. Last time, the Holy Temple Knights ambushed Lin Rui at the grave exit; this time, it was Lin Rui’s turn to ambush those Holy Temple Knights before the altar.

But the war machine’s firepower lasted only a moment. With the fall of many Holy Temple Knights, the cyan world created by the round tombstone matrix suddenly trembled violently.

The golden beams pouring down from the sky abruptly reversed, with dazzling golden light bursting forth from the altar, shooting towards the sky’s open gate.

Wherever the golden light touched, a mighty circular shockwave swept outward in all directions.

Accompanying this circular shockwave, a furious rage descended from the sky, engulfing the world.

Under this rage and majesty, all the knights, all the undead, even Audrey and the Tier Four Walnut, knelt instantaneously.

The icy-cold might spread all over, the furious killing intent made Lin Rui’s coat flap fiercely, yet with the robust immunity trait’s support, Lin Rui only buckled his knees for a moment before standing straight once again, hands behind his back as he gazed at the dazzling spiritual storm ahead.

Yet, at this moment, his brow was furrowed, completely unsure of what was transpiring.

After the berserk spiritual energy swept the land, the Holy Temple Knights, kneeling with long swords held in reverse, rose in unison, a blazing spiritual reaction from their bodies shining as brightly as the sun.

The leading Knight Commander’s visage had even disappeared; inside his helmet, only a fierce golden light remained. Even more astonishing was his long spear, entirely transformed into a beam of gold, with arcs of lightning occasionally bursting around it, effectively wielding lightning in his hand. As he rose, spiritual energy from the spear unfurled, forming a pair of golden wings behind him.

All knights rose simultaneously, moving in unison with a dreadful aura, the powerful clashing sound of their armor relayed an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The leading Knight Commander pointed the longspear at Lin Rui, his voice metallic and resounding with a murderous intent said, "For the blasphemer, there’s only one fate: death! Slay them all! Leave none alive!"

All knights simultaneously raised their swords, nearly a thousand surged forward. The surging spiritual energy created countless sonic booms.

Lu Weite was utterly ashen-faced, his teeth chattered incessantly, wailing in despair, "All are Tier Five Heroic Spirit Level! We’re doomed."

Audrey was also deathly pale, nearly a thousand Tier Five Heroic Spirit Level Knights; it was the Celestial Kingdom’s Heroic Spirit Legion descended into mortal bodies!

With the strength of a mid-level village like the Golden Pansy Domain, contending against the Celestial Kingdom’s armament... there was utterly no hope of survival.

Walnut was the first to rise, linking three crimson chains to three Heroic Spirit Knights, converting 40% of each damage she dealt into healing to mend the three knights.

As a Heroic Spirit Level troop, she exhibited unparalleled courage and determination; even facing a thousand foes, she remained fearless, sword in hand, she confronted the Tier Five Heroic Spirit Knights head-on.

"Seeking death!" The Holy Temple Knights’ voice, as solid as iron, echoed.

In an instant, a dozen longswords slashed toward the slender figure.

"Go die!" Walnut’s frosty voice also rang out, as the long swords fiercely clashed, the sound of metal meeting iron echoed continuously.

At this moment, even the Celestial Kingdom’s Heroic Spirit Warriors regarded the battle amid the fierce and resolute war priestess in the center with respect, a Tier Four Heroic Spirit Vampire, besieged by a dozen Tier Five Heroic Spirit Knights, yet she bravely fought on without retreating, her resolve and quality earned the warriors’ respect and additional amazement!

What kind of formidable support allowed her, a Tier Four Soldier, to withstand the assault of a dozen Tier Five Knights and still not fall immediately?

Seeing the gentle face of the girl smeared with blood, and her slender body covered in sword wounds penetrating through the body alongside countless deep and exposed gashes, the knights’ fury erupted.

Sterling roared, "Damn it, you bastards, go to hell for me!"

Violent spiritual energy erupted inside him; despite a gap of two large tiers, he still charged ahead relentlessly, the dazzling warhammer unyieldingly smashed into the Heroic Spirit Knight’s body.

Yet, still being a Heroic Spirit Level, the huge discrepancy in physique and will meant that this ferocious strike left the opponent unmoved. However, as the opponent’s longsword lifted, Sterling was sent flying backwards, a massive sword wound stretched from his right shoulder to his left abdomen, his chest ribs were sliced into two.

If not for the powerful Commander Trait of Lin Rui and several strategic item bonuses, he would not have been able to stand and wield a sword again.

The sacred spiritual energy and the dazzling Sword Qi cross in his chest, even with the Holy Grail’s healing enhancement, they couldn’t heal, and his shattered heart fell out, blood splattering the battlefield in front of him.

Audrey’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears, she slowly reached out and caressed Lin Rui’s right cheek, saying, "My Lord, this time it truly seems to be certain death. I hope your visage could imprint on my soul, never to forget even in death."
