Then, he slowly raised it, and the several red gems on the top were pointed at Buck who was sneering. "You...damn it, stop it!" Seeing that the other party not only completely ignored her tips, but also started chatting with the enemy on his own, Nancy became a little anxious. She thought that although this little guy's strength surprised her, he was still a child after all, and he lost his temper in a few minutes! She wanted to scold them a few more times, but when she saw that the two were about to fight, she realized that it was best not to disturb their attention, so as not to distract them and cause bad consequences. So she just glared at Qi Ji with a little dissatisfaction, then moved quickly, and came to the carriage where her sister's family was at almost flashing speed, acting as a guard. But most of her attention was focused on the cloaked girl holding a red agate staff, with a faint orange-yellow flame flickering between her hands. Once Qi Ji is at a disadvantage or something unexpected happens, she will immediately cast spells to rescue him! "Little sister, I hope you can be stronger..." She stared at the cloaked girl not far away, pursed her lips, and a slight sense of uneasiness gathered in her heart. "Otherwise, even if you were about to be killed, I would not ask 'that person' for help..."
Chapter 167 Where's the promised confrontation? ! She spoke softly, with a faint ripple in her pupils, as if there were waves rippling in them. This was a change that had not occurred when he was fighting with the puppet and Buck just now. Qi Ji didn't notice Nancy's abnormality, or rather, he pretended not to notice. At this moment, she apparently focused her attention on the deacon of the Church of Life. At the top of the red agate cane in his hand, a few clusters of deep red flames appeared faintly. And it is slowly increasing. Brighter and brighter until it blooms completely! "...Although you have been pretending to be calm, you are actually very angry about the death of your colleague and you want to kill me right away... Well, in that case, I will send you to see him so that you two can have a good talk." Qi Ji's voice came out in a relaxed and leisurely tone, but the content seemed a bit scary. Seeing the changes that had taken place on the cane that originally belonged to Rice, Buck's expression darkened slightly, his long and narrow eyes narrowed, revealing a wary look. He did not look down on her just because she looked very young. Although I was in a "hidden" state before and couldn't directly observe the outside world, so I didn't know how the first "Dark Afterbirth" was destroyed... But he at least understood that the attacker who destroyed the "Afterbirth of Darkness" was not the same person he had been fighting with, but a third party. Apparently, the person who had been fighting the "Afterbirth of Darkness" was the woman with the long hair. Besides that, the only person on the field who looked capable of fighting was this young girl in a cloak and a hood... It was her who used a strange spell to sneak attack the "Dark Afterbirth" and destroyed it in one blow! Even though it was a sneak attack, the "Dark Afterbirth" was in a state of "total defense" at that time. The fact that it can instantly penetrate its defense and directly annihilate its body can also explain a lot of problems.
This mysterious cloaked girl is by no means an ordinary person, but a true master who has at least reached the level of a high-level righteous mage. It is even very likely that he has several high-quality spiritual equipment. Definitely not to underestimate! Even though he had two "Dark Afterbirth" puppets to protect him and carried several high-quality spiritual equipment, he could not take it lightly and had to be extremely careful. Otherwise, failure and death will surely end! Qi Ji raised his eyebrows playfully and suddenly said, "My spell has a very short pre-swing. Are you sure you don't want to act quickly before I'm ready?" "...Okay." Buck smiled coldly, staring at her with his eyes, and quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body: "How dare you go against the Lord's will? You are courting death. I don't mind giving you a ride!" After saying that, Buck raised his right hand slightly, with his palm facing the ground, and pressed down towards Qi Ji: "Wheel of Misfortune!" Layer upon layer of illusory rings appeared in front of him. They were all composed of extremely complex and intricate dark red lines, and were filled with a large number of runes, pictures and symbolic symbols. They were extremely mysterious and strange. On both sides of his body, the dark red lines on the surface of the two "Dark Afterbirths" standing there also began to move, breaking away from the puppets and merging into the countless overlapping wheels, making them fuller and thicker. It seems that some powerful and evil power is sprouting inside and is about to break out of the shell, bringing great disaster and fear to anyone who dares to stand in its way! Seeing this, Qi Ji also grinned, looking innocent and cute: "Come on, let's face off." She shook the red agate cane violently with her right hand, and an extremely rich scarlet light flowed from the top of the cane to the back of her hand, as active as flowing water and as bright as flame. "Om!—" The blood-red light shot into his pupils, and Buck's eyelids trembled. At that moment, he suddenly had a very strange illusion in his heart. It was as if the crimson light was devouring his soul. An extremely evil, violent and terrifying aura burst out from the light, making him feel suffocated as if he was falling into an abyss. It seemed as if I would be sucked into that force in the next second, with no chance of recovery. Even the soul may be sucked away by it! He was horrified to find that the power of that ball of light seemed to be even more terrifying and brutal than the pressure of the "Wheel of Disaster" that he was about to unleash! “…What the hell is this?” This walking stick originally belonged to their "Life Church" and was Deacon Rice's personal weapon. As a deacon myself, I know its nature and level very well! It has many functions, is very practical, and is of a decent level. It is a very useful spiritual equipment, otherwise it would not have been chosen by Rice as a personal equipment. However, there is absolutely no such power!
This was such a terrifying power that even a high-level righteous mage like himself felt an absolutely irresistible sense of oppression! He felt a chill all over his body, and a chill ran through his heart: "Who...are you?!" Buck was shocked, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face and asked Qi Ji in a casual manner. "Well..." Qi Ji glanced at him, maintaining the red light on his cane that was already filled to the extreme and ready to go, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a pure smile. Then, she narrowed her eyes teasingly and clenched her right hand imperceptibly. The dreamy light suddenly burst out! The crimson light like a tide instantly filled the surrounding environment, covering up the twilight of the setting sun. As Buck and the others stared in amazement, the red agate cane in the cloaked girl's hand suddenly turned red! The scarlet red color seemed to be burning with a raging fire, emitting wisps of faint glow. Waves of scorching hot air spread out along with the flaming red light. "……who I am?" Qi Ji opened his lips and playfully revealed his cute little canine teeth, as pure and innocent as a child: “A traveler driven by interest.” As he spoke, the red flame of the red agate cane became stronger and stronger, just like the sun, making it difficult to look directly at it. It also makes people feel waves of stinging burns, as well as the scorching heat that is terrifying. She swung her right hand forward and threw the cane in her hand forward! “Swish——” The air was torn apart and pierced by mournful cries, mixed with crisp explosions. The cane drew a beautiful straight trajectory in the air, spinning at high speed, and then shot towards where Buck was standing! "……not good!" Buck's face changed drastically, and a strong sense of foreboding arose in his heart. His reaction was extremely quick, he immediately withdrew the "Wheel of Disaster" that he had prepared, and gathered his own spiritual power and that of the "Afterbirth of Darkness". He pushed off with his toes and slid back a few meters, buying himself a few tenths of a second before the cane, which was coming at him like a cannonball, hit him. In this extremely short period of time for an ordinary person, he concentrated his mind, summoned his own spiritual power at an incredibly fast speed, and released several defensive spells almost in no particular order. While all kinds of dazzling spiritual shields, deflection fields, stray arrow protection and other spells were superimposed in front of him, the two "dark afterbirths" also changed their forms rapidly. It transformed into two layers of nearly spherical black "curtains", wrapping his body tightly.
The black and shiny surface is supported by the rapidly flowing dark red runes, trying to resist all incoming attacks! At this moment, the cane that seemed to be burning with dark red flames also touched the outermost barrier. Chapter 168 Red Flame Staff At this moment, the light emanating from the smooth surface of the "Dark Afterbirth" covered with dark red runes suddenly increased. In contrast, a red flame burst out from the top of the staff, surging like a tsunami! In an instant, the two outermost barriers were broken through. Then, it hit the third defensive barrier along the way, the "Spiritual Shield". There were more than a dozen layers of irregularly shaped translucent sheets, showing a light red color, overlapping each other at a certain distance, and floating slowly in the air. Like the thin ice floating on the lake in winter. And their fate, after facing the red agate staff burning with red flames, was not much different from that of fragile floating ice... "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Deafening explosions continued to be heard. The translucent light red spiritual shield was shattered in an instant, denting and breaking, denting again, and breaking again. These pieces of spiritual shields exploded one after another, turning into stars in the sky, floating in all directions and dissipating. "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" In this area, bursts of muffled thunder-like sounds erupted. Countless cracks appeared on the ground, and huge gaps appeared one after another, like scars, spreading in all directions. The whole area looked as if it had been plowed. “BOOM! BOOM!” The third line of defense, consisting of more than a dozen layers of "spiritual shields", was broken through in an instant! But after piercing through two layers of the "Afterbirth of Darkness" curtain and more than a dozen layers of "Spiritual Shield" defense, the red agate cane that penetrated forward like an armor-piercing bullet, the flames lingering around it... A little bit weaker. It seemed that the three previous lines of defense reduced the energy it contained. The layers of spiritual shields were all shattered into star sand. Although the momentum had weakened, the still powerful cane reached the fourth line of defense. It is a "network" composed of countless "deflection fields" and "flowing arrow protection"! They appear as extremely dense and intertwined silk threads, like a series of illusory yet dense spider webs, overlapping and entangled with each other in an irregular manner. Any incoming object, once it enters their coverage area, will be subjected to a very violent lateral thrust, causing it to involuntarily deviate from its original trajectory. "Whoohoo-"
However, when faced with the cane burning with red flames, the expected phenomenon did not happen. The incoming red flame staff showed no signs of deviation at all, still drawing a straight and unbiased trajectory... and hitting Buck's body directly! Because... those illusory spider-web-like threads couldn't even touch the main body of the cane! They were merely burned briefly by the leaping and tumbling outermost layer of the red flames, like a dragonfly touching the water, and then immediately disintegrated, shattered, and dissipated. In the gaps between those threads, filled with faint light, the air vibrated violently, and then quickly calmed down, as if some of the power contained therein was dissolved by the red flame without any resistance.
