Chapter 455: Chapter 377: Oracle Chapter 455: Chapter 377: Oracle As Su Yuan plunged into high-intensity combat, the interior of Qingming Realm began to slightly fluctuate.
“Caught up, huh…”
Antonios raised an eyebrow.
If Su Yuan was really caught up, that wasn’t something Antonios wanted to see.
He was already a wanted man of Qiguang. As the northern hegemon, Qiguang’s wanted criminals would also be synchronized into Rhein Country.
“Ruan Ruan… did something happen?” Yang Aoshan weakly asked.
“It’s nothing. Master is super powerful, nothing will happen!” Ruan Ruan comforted Yang Aoshan, but worry flashed in her eyes.
The last time Master was in battle, Qingming Realm never shook this violently. This could only mean that the opponent encountered this time might be very tricky.
If she didn’t have to keep an eye on Antonios here, she could have gone out to help.
At this moment, silver light flickered in Antonios’ palm as he flipped his hand to reveal a small silver knife.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Ruan immediately placed her hands on her hips and said: “Hey, you! I warn you, don’t try any tricks, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
Antonios shook his head and smiled: “I just want to check what’s happening outside. Don’t you want to see what kind of opponent your master is facing?”
“This…” Ruan Ruan’s small face immediately showed a conflicted expression. “Fine… just take a look. You better not try any tricks!”
Antonios chuckled to himself, thinking this little one is really naive…
Antonios walked to the edge of Qingming Realm and explored the border a bit. Then, silver light floated on the small knife in his hand as he slowly cut out a circle along the boundary.
“This space is exceptionally sturdy. If I had to go out, it would take quite a bit of effort. But as for just peeping outside a bit…”
Antonios took a deep breath and chanted in a low voice: “Sever… Connection!”
A strange wave appeared on the circle, and faint silver light gathered toward the center like rotating water light, just like opening a transparent glass window in the wall. The situation outside was revealed through this circle.
However, when he saw the Twelve Palace Star Robe and the Light Wings flashing like an aurora at high speed, Antonios’ pupils trembled slightly, and his face changed…
“Master! Squeak squeak!”
Sensing the strength of the opponent, Ruan Ruan subconsciously clenched her fists, even letting out her “true voice.”
Yang Aoshan was even more shocked in her heart.
As a Barrier Master, Yang Aoshan had dealt with many Shining Star and Radiant Moon Levels. She had witnessed many Shining Star Level battles.
But the intense pressure brought by the young man with the rapier was not something an ordinary Shining Star Level could compare to; it was almost on par with the Radiant Moon Level!
Since the scene opened by Antonios faced Su Yuan, the immersive feeling was even stronger.
At this moment, with the explosive spirit light, Sagittarius was once again sent flying.
Sagittarius, breathing slightly heavier, looked toward Su Yuan, feeling the numbness in his hands, and his eyes filled with shock.
“This person is actually this strong?”
In the past few months, he had been tasked with cleaning up those long-overdue troublesome wanted criminals. Up to now, he had already killed over twenty people.
Unexpectedly, today he encountered such a troublesome opponent!
Although the opponent’s speed was slightly inferior to his with the Light Wings, combined with his Instant Movement and other space techniques, his flexibility was no less than his own.
His strength and Star Power were even above his own!
Seeing that Sagittarius had finally calmed down a bit, Su Yuan, holding a long saber, asked: “I ask you, who are you looking for?”
“Looking for who?” Sagittarius frowned, coldly saying, “Who else, of course, Doctor Antonios!”
While speaking, Sagittarius put away the rapier and switched back to the Golden Bow.
Although Sagittarius preferred close combat, it seemed he would need to use his real skills to deal with this opponent.
“Antonios?…”
Su Yuan’s expression became a bit strange, thinking, as expected, he felt something was off before.
Su Yuan glanced at Qingming Realm and saw Antonios watching the battle.
Antonios said: “Let me out.”
Su Yuan straightforwardly released Antonios.
“So you were hiding him… I knew it, Ashley’s Oracle has never been wrong…”
Sagittarius, with a cold tone, looked at Antonios.
“Antonios, I thought you wouldn’t come out.”
Antonios frowned and asked: “How did you find me?”
Su Yuan was also curious. No matter what, he had taken Antonios this far, yet the opponent could still catch up without a target…
No…
Su Yuan recalled Sagittarius came from the northeast in the form of a Light Arrow…
Rather than saying he was chased, it was better to say he crashed straight into them!
“How did we find you? Of course, because of him.”
Sagittarius sneered, raising his hand, and a spherical object was thrown.
Seeing this, Su Yuan’s eyes moved slightly.
“Gwen?!”
Antonios’ eyes widened suddenly, flying up to catch it.
What Arthur threw was none other than Gwen’s head from Ford Street!
“Gwen!!” Antonios trembled, holding the head, then glared at Sagittarius. “Arthur, you deserve to die!”
Arthur mocked with indifference: “All tragedies stem from one’s own lack of strength. Antonios, when the gods offered you power, you refused, which is why you’ve become this stray dog.”
Su Yuan’s expression moved slightly. It seemed these two were old acquaintances?
In fact, Antonios and Arthur were once exceptional Holy Temple Knights under the same temple, even known as Gemini.
But now, one was a Twelve Palace Star Envoy, and the other was a wanted man.
Antonios clenched his fists, while Arthur coldly smiled.
“By the way, speaking of it, this guy seemed to want to shield you and tried to deceive us into going north.
But it’s laughable. With Ashley here, there’s no need to get information from his mouth.
Just leveraging the entanglement between your fates, Ashley already predicted that following this direction quickly, we would intercept you.”
Antonios said in a low voice: “If that’s so, you didn’t need to kill Gwen!”
Arthur’s voice was cold: “Anyone related to a wanted man is to be killed… If we don’t slaughter more, how will the Twelve Palaces establish their renown?”
“Damn it! Arthur, where’s the justice you once believed in?” Antonios’ face turned more ghastly.
Arthur paused, then coldly said: “The justice of the past? What’s the use of that? We, the Holy Temple, are the justice!”
“You!… You’ve changed. Since accepting the blessing, you are no longer the Arthur I knew!”
“But you are still the same foolish Antonios I know…” Arthur coldly said, “Isn’t it best for me to end your rebellious life myself!”
…
On the side, Su Yuan, through Sagittarius’ words, understood two things.
First, this Sagittarius was extremely fast, but perhaps not faster than Su Yuan traveling at full speed through the Space Gate.
Instead, because Sagittarius started earlier and followed some “prophecy” directly to this side.
Second…
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly: “So, there’s another person?”
At this moment, the All-Knowing Vision seemed to sense something.
Su Yuan glanced at the side and saw a flash of light behind Antonios. Another girl in a Star Robe appeared.
White hair, red eyes, petite figure, expressionless. The star sign on her body was the first palace of the Twelve Palaces—the Life Palace, Aries!
Aries Star Envoy, Ashley.
Su Yuan looked at the white-haired, red-eyed girl. There seemed to be countless destiny trajectories intertwining in her eyes.
“This is becoming… more troublesome.”
Arthur had ended his conversation with Antonios and looked at Su Yuan in the distance.
“I am the Holy Temple Sagittarius, here to eliminate the fugitives! If you are not involved, then leave. If you dare to interfere…”
Arthur drew his bowstring once more, a golden arrow shimmering.
“I will shoot to kill!”
Su Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows, calmly looking at the other.
Very arrogant, very pretentious, but his strength was indeed incredible.
Although Su Yuan had an interest in fighting, his current primary mission was to take Yang Aoshan back.
As for Antonios… whatever happens with him was no concern. They only had an employment relationship.
And now, he was about to leave Rhein. Releasing Antonios early didn’t matter.
Su Yuan turned his gaze toward Antonios.
Antonios knew Su Yuan had no reason to stay. Without saying more, he took a deep breath, and the silver small knife in his hand transformed into a short blade.
With Arthur there, Antonios knew he couldn’t escape; he had to fight!
Antonios put away Gwen’s head, locking his gaze on Arthur.
“Dead or alive, at least I’ll take some of your flesh with me!”
“Overestimating yourself!”
Arthur sneered, releasing the bowstring. The arrow, charged with golden light, shot straight at Antonios!
“Boom!”
The next moment, the golden arrow exploded, but a transparent Boundary-breaking Space wall blocked it.
Arthur’s face darkened, glaring at Su Yuan: “Looking for death?”
Antonios, surprised, turned to the side: “Su Yuan?”
“300,000 Star Stones,” Su Yuan stepped forward, saying, “Antonios, your bounty is 300,000. Give me 300,000, and I’ll save your life.”
Antonios smiled bitterly: “300,000… I’ve been wanted for so long, where would I have that many Star Stones?”
Even a Radiant Moon didn’t have that many Star Stones!
“Then sell yourself to repay it.”
Antonios paused, considering his circumstances, looking at Arthur and Ashley afar. What choice did he have?
After a brief thought, Antonios nodded solemnly: “Alright! Take me with you, I owe 300,000!”
“Good.”
Su Yuan smiled, and with a thought, the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber glowed red.
The reason for taking Antonios was because Su Yuan found his abilities useful. He indeed was talented.
Secondly, Antonios could have revealed Yang Aoshan’s situation but didn’t.
The tense north-south situation, mainly the Great Flame and Qiguang’s two factions, gradually opposed each other.
Rhein Country restricting southern talent flow was also under Qiguang’s command.
If Antonios had revealed Su Yuan’s and Yang Aoshan’s identities, Arthur and Ashley would have surely intervened. Antonios could’ve forced Su Yuan into resistance.
But he didn’t.
Comparatively, this wanted man Antonios seemed more like a “Knight,” while the Twelve Palace Star Envoys looked more like cold “killing machines”…
