Nightmare Light

Chapter 176 Shi Xionglue's Assassination
"Luo He, prepare to die!"

Shi Xionglue's voice was not loud in the square where the battle was raging, and theoretically no one would be able to hear it.

But strangely, after he roared, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

If someone could look down at the entire square from mid-air at that moment, they would see that all the thousands of people still alive in the square, including the Crusaders, laymen, and even Vice-Bishop Zhao, all shivered in that instant.

Most of them did not hear Shi Xionglue's voice, but they still trembled involuntarily.

The feeling is like a frog unaware that a snake is approaching, but the fear from the depths of its soul still renders the frog immobile, leaving it to wait for the heavens and earth to kill it.

The extreme chill and fear sent shivers down everyone's spine.

At this moment, Shi Xiong also leaped closer to Lin Wang.

He held the cleaver high, its blade gleaming with a cold light.

Lin Wang suddenly turned his head.

In his giant form, his senses are enhanced many times over, so he sensed the approaching enemy immediately.

But what unsettled Lin Wang was—

Although his senses are many times stronger in his giant form than in normal form, in this form, almost any enemy within his perception range...

His intuitive judgment was that it was "not worth mentioning".

Aside from a few extremely powerful beings who resembled demon gods, the same conclusion applies to all other enemies, including Old Joe and Sen.

But the burly man leaping towards him gave him a different feeling.

For the first time in his life, he felt a stinging pain all over his body while in the state of white flames.

Lin Wang came to the conclusion that this man posed a threat to him, and a threat to his life!
He quickly mentally considered how to deal with hundreds of powerful Crusaders, an archdeacon, and such a sudden and incredibly powerful ruthless individual.
In fact, Lin Wang sensed that there was another equally powerful aura rapidly approaching him in the square!

A realization dawned on Lin Wang—this burly man must be the one who had given him a threatening look in the square earlier…

The person who was in the car earlier was probably him too!

Holy crap, when did I mess with so many ruthless people? Am I some kind of pariah?

Lin Wang made a self-deprecating remark.

But he knew very well that this enemy was attracted because he unleashed the full power of the White Flame—the other party was probably not after him, but after the original owner of the White Flame!
Now is not the time to think about these things; let's deal with the current situation first.

Lin Wang took a breath, collected his thoughts, and focused his energy on his right fist, preparing to deliver a powerful blow to the place that had leaped towards him.

However, at that moment, the Crusaders in the square suddenly moved when they saw the strong man falling like a meteor!
"Enemy attack!"

Several priests of the Crusader turned around at the same time and unleashed a continuous barrage of divine spells into the air.

Although Shi Xiong was incredibly powerful, capable of easily killing anyone present except Lin Wang, he had nowhere to hide in mid-air, and these divine attacks were as dense as rain.

So he still had to take action.

Shi Xiong slightly sheathed his knife, curled up into a ball, and grabbed an iron pot to shield himself.

After a divine spell, the iron pot began to glow and grew to be half the size of a person, blocking all the divine spell attacks.

After the divine attack ended, the iron pot was riddled with holes.

Shi Xiong threw down the pot and landed—he landed less than two meters from Lin Wang. So, he grabbed the cleaver and slashed down at Lin Wang.

At the same time, he casually took a soup ladle off his armor, tossed it to the Crusader crowd without even turning his head, and said: "Don't get in the way."

The ladle spun and danced, beginning to glow in mid-air, radiating a sacred aura, before flying into the ranks of the Crusaders.

The ladle looked ordinary and unremarkable, but it made a loud bang when it crashed into the Crusader's ranks.

Like a bowling ball hitting a cup, the Crusaders were sent flying backwards and fell to the ground.

Those incredibly powerful Crusaders who slaughtered laymen like cutting melons and vegetables couldn't even withstand this man's spoon!
The knife that slashed at Lin Wang had neither divine magic nor any other worldly magic aura. It looked like an elderly chef slowly chopping a bone with a knife.

But alarm bells were ringing in Lin Wang's mind. He even took a step back.

Lin Wang retreated while controlling his body shape, shrinking it to about two meters tall, roughly the same height as himself.

At the same time, he swiftly conjured more than a dozen ice shields in front of him.

The ordinary-looking knife struck the ice shield.

Snapped!
Previously, this ice shield had blocked the full-force attack of more than a dozen Crusaders.

But now, these ice shields shattered into pieces like bricks hitting glass under Shi Xionglue's strike.

The blade continued its relentless attack, slashing at the second and third...

Shi Xionglue's strike only stopped when the twelfth ice shield was shattered.

At this moment, his blade was only one ice shield away from Lin Wang's chest.

In theory, there was no force that could stop him from killing Lin Wang, but at this moment, Shi Xionglue's brows furrowed.

He stared warily at the white fire giant before him, his whole body tense, gripping a strainer in one hand and a cleaver in the other.

"How can you be so weak! What kind of trick are you up to now!"

Lin Wang didn't care about the other person's suspicions; he just wanted to take advantage of the moment when the guy stopped and give him a good punch.

"Hey... guess?" He deliberately lowered his voice and said something in a hoarse tone that made the other person suspicious.

At the same time, Lin Wang stepped forward, his hand blazing with fire, and threw a heavy punch at Shi Xionglue's face.

This earth-shattering punch had almost always dealt a heavy blow to the opponent in past battles.

This time was different. Shi Xiong simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the punch. At the same time, he swiped the ladle in his hand and struck Lin Wang in the face.

The burly white fire giant was sent flying by this blow.

Lin Wang rolled several times in the air, forcibly controlling his body, and landed hard on the ground.

In that instant, he felt a sharp, stabbing pain throughout his body.

The strange priest's attack was not as simple as a sieve—the moment the sieve struck him, a powerful and divine force surged into his body through the sieve, simultaneously taking effect in every meridian and muscle.

Stimulated by that power, Lin Wang's entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This was the first time since he transmigrated that he felt the man in front of him truly had the ability to kill him!

This guy is too strong... I have to think of something...

Just as Lin Wang was thinking quickly, a figure leaped out from right in front of him.

The tall, slender girl in black straightened up in front of Lin Wang.

"Who's hitting Lin Wang! I'll bite you, you little rascal!"

"White cat? What are you doing out here?" Lin Wang exclaimed in surprise. "Let's go back quickly, this guy is very powerful!"

But the cat girl wouldn't listen to him at all. She just opened her arms, her claws gradually lengthening, her tail swaying uneasily behind her, and she made angry "meowing" sounds.

She looked ahead angrily.

She saw Shi Xionglue.

Her pupils began to contract.

She crouched down, assuming a posture ready to attack.

Then, she and Lin Wang heard Shi Xionglue's surprised and trembling voice.

"Saintess?! You...you're still alive?!"
