After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 127 Holy Duel and the Ice Witch (please vote for me at the end of the month!)

Outlying Island, Santos City, Central City.

The main hall of the Holy Sect of Libra symbolizes the front of the place where the "God of Libra" has the supreme power.

Under the illumination of countless pairs of eyes and pale golden light, the water drop princess Ariel stood up slowly at the witness seat.

The gorgeous long dress with a blue background and gold embellishments fluttered in the breeze. On the face covered by tulle, the blue-gold eyes were like the vast sea.

As the droplet princess Ariel stood up, the crowd that was originally noisy and commotion due to the "judgment" suddenly announced by Pope Libra became silent again.

If Saint Berg Cavendish, Pope of Libra, symbolizes the divine power on the outlying island, then Ariel, Princess of Water Drops, is undoubtedly the embodiment of the royal power of the Santos royal family.

When the Water Drop Princess Ariel appeared in front of the public, there were many representatives of royal power, either the king or a certain prince with the right to inherit the position. However, since the Water Drop Princess Ariel showed her peerless talent, There was no other choice for the representative of royal power.

Everyone knows, even the people can see that the future of the Santos Kingdom will eventually fall into the hands of Princess Water Drop.

This is why so many people participate in the "Water Drop Blessing".

Do you think people really choose to participate in the "water drop blessing" just for the illusory luck? No, in their view, "water drop blessing" is not the so-called luck, but a stepping stone to "connect" with the future king!

Once you get the "Water Drop Blessing", it is equivalent to getting a level jump.

It is never the people's support that makes Princess Water Drop a success, but Princess Water Drop is blessing the people.

She is the Water Drop Princess and the uncrowned queen of this country!

But now, in this country, there is an unprecedented head-on conflict between the supreme leader of theocratic power and the representative of royal power.

For a moment, all the people were stunned. Even the pirates and adventurers who were not from the Kingdom of Santos and were mixed in the crowd were stunned by this scene.

——The sky is going to change.

This is the thought that comes to everyone's mind.

Regardless of the public's reaction, on the high platform, Pope Libra held a scepter and continued to recite the "Words of Judgment."

"Drop Princess Ariel."

"You instructed the heretic-witch Meloye to steal the holy relics, preventing the 'sacred ritual' from starting."

"The glory of God is slightly flawed, and this is all because of your unforgivable sin!"

"Anyone who tarnishes the glory of God must wash away his sins in the form of fire."

"Now, I, the Pope of Libra, Saint Berg Cavendish, hereby declare that you are guilty and must be punished by being burned at the stake!"

The powerful pronouncement instantly reached the ears of everyone around the high platform. Two beams of light golden light were cast from the top of the Libra Holy Church main hall, falling on Pope Libra and Princess Water Drop respectively, like the two ends of a scale.

Facing the "judgment" of Pope Libra, the blue-gold eyes of Water Drop Princess Ariel were very calm, without any disturbance.

A clear and ethereal voice slowly sounded.

"Where's the evidence?"

"God's revelation requires no evidence." Pope Libra said calmly.

"Ha." Ariel, the droplet princess, chuckled, like a blue and calm blue, but it could not hide the prelude before the storm came: "In this case, there is nothing to say."

"Just use what you call a 'sacred duel' to measure everything."

"If you lose..."

"The great god witnesses everything. If I lose, everything will be up to you." Pope Libra's expression did not change at all.

——Sacred duel is a special product of the development of "sacred ritual". When both parties in the trial are unable to provide strong evidence, a duel will be held. The two parties in the trial can go on stage to duel themselves, or they can entrust an "agent" A duel is held, and the outcome of the duel will largely affect the outcome measured by the "Sacred Scales".

At the moment when the "Holy Scale" cannot be opened due to the loss of the "holy object", the two parties in the trial are naturally unable to provide evidence for weighing. In this case, directly opening the "Holy Duel" is the simplest and most direct way.

On the high platform.

Pope Libra and Princess Water Drop looked at each other from a distance, and a pale golden "Holy Duel Platform" rose between them.

"Hartman, go ahead." Pope Libra said calmly.

After the voice fell, a middle-aged man wearing dark silver light armor with a weight and a light golden "Libra" mark etched on his chest said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty the Pope."

On the opposite side, Princess Water Drop did not speak, but standing behind her, a female knight in pure white armor stepped forward.

The two knights charged up their strength at the same time and jumped onto the pale golden "Holy Duel Platform".

"The Holy Cult of Libra, the first judge, Hartman Priven."

The middle-aged knight said solemnly.

The Judgment Office is the judicial institution of the Libra Holy Cult. Every judge is a third-level hero professional.

"The Iris family, the princess's attendant knight, Hadari Nicholson." The pure white female knight spoke without a trace of warmth in her voice.

After simply announcing their homes, the spirituality of the two of them surged up like giant torches.

One silver, one white, like two shocking sharp edges, dividing the sacred duel field.

Among the crowd, two unattractive figures wearing gray hooded robes watched quietly.

Normally, this outfit would be very conspicuous when walking on the street, but in the undercurrent city of Santos, there are too many people in similar outfits, so the presence of the two of them does not appear to be out of the ordinary.

Under the shadow of the hood is a pair of dark blue eyes.

Freni glanced at the two knights on the "Holy Dueling Field", then swept her eyes from Pope Libra and Princess Water Drop, and stayed on Princess Water Drop for a second longer.

Miss Witch frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"This feeling……"

……

The end of the intricate dark cave.

Ryan stood at the cave exit with several other members of the "Overturned Palace", overlooking the huge rift valley below.

What was presented to them at this moment was an extremely majestic and huge underground world. One could not help but wonder, would such a huge underground space really not cause the surface of the outlying island to collapse? .

The terrifying rift valley, which is thousands of meters long, almost divides the entire underground world into two, like a divine punishment sent by the gods.

Such great power, if it were not formed naturally, could only be achieved by gods.

The droplet princess with a liquid body stood at the edge of the cave entrance and whispered: "As agreed, I have brought you to the Saint-Phile underground rift valley."

"As for how you leave, 'Red Kite' has already mentioned to me that you have another way to teleport."

"Well, I'll see you later, everyone."

"I wish you all the best."

As the clear sound spread, the body of Princess Water Droplet gradually collapsed, eventually turning into countless water droplets and dissipating in the air.

Ryan and several others looked at each other, and No. 3 Huang Bing, who was wearing a white hooded robe, was the first to speak: "Let's go, hurry up, without the seal of the 'Sacred Scale' to be consolidated, the entrance to the maze deep in the rift valley will be available at any time. Risk of being breached.”

"If we can attack and kill those men in black robes before the maze opens, our mission will be much easier."

Hearing this, the other people nodded in agreement.

The goal of this special mission is to penetrate deep into the underground maze after it is opened, and block the entrance to the ninth floor to prevent anyone from entering.

Ordinary pirates or adventurers do not have the ability to reach the entrance to the ninth floor of the underground maze. Even if there are, the number is very small. Therefore, the main enemy of this mission is the group of black-robed men with unknown identities and unknown purposes.

At present, the seal at the entrance to the underground maze has not been broken. If we can deal with those black-robed men in advance before then, and then go deep into the underground maze and guard the entrance to the ninth floor for a day, then everyone who performs the task will Not only can you complete the special mission indicator that must be performed once every three years, but you can also get the additional benefit of a mid-level rare item.

Of course, it is also very difficult to deal with these black-robed men in advance.

According to the known intelligence, the spirituality of these men in black robes is very strange. Without targeted countermeasures, not many members of the Overturned Palace are absolutely certain of victory in one-on-one situations, let alone these black-robed men. The number of people is probably greater than the "Sons of Overthrow" who entered the underground rift valley of Saint-Phile.

But even so, No. 4 Green Wave, No. 5 Qing Ling and No. 6 Blue Mountain did not raise any objections after listening to No. 3 Huang Bing's proposal.

Firstly, this is indeed the fastest way to complete a special task. Secondly, the person who made this suggestion is No. 3!

Noticing some doubts in Ryan's eyes, Qing Ling explained softly beside him: "Zifeng, you have only joined the Overturned Palace for a short time, and you don't know many things."

"Lord Huang Bing No. 3 is a third-level extreme professional. The palace master once said that even among all third-level extreme professionals, Lord Huang Bing is enough to be among the top ten."

After hearing this, Ryan was stunned for a moment.

Can he be ranked in the top ten among all level three extreme professionals?

The gold content of this sentence is a bit high.

It is true that the number of third-level hero professionals is very small, but that is for a certain region. If the scope is extended to the entire world, the number will be quite considerable.

Among so many Tier 3 hero professionals, what kind of strength do they have to be able to be considered as one of the top ten?

Although he had long felt that No. 3 Huang Bing, the guy in the white hooded robe, was mysterious and had great strength at first glance, Ryan did not expect that he would be so powerful.

Even Ryan himself does not dare to say that he will definitely enter the top ten of the third level at this stage. After all, he has not fought with a third level extreme professional yet, and he is not sure about the strength of the third level extreme professional.

What, you said he is just a first-level professional?

That's fine.

The existence of Huang Bing can be called a reassurance for Green Tide, Qingling, and Blue Mountain.

With Huang Bing leading the team, everyone is very confident. Even Qing Ling, who has personally fought against the black-robed man and knows how powerful he is, has eyes full of eagerness to try.

This made Ryan more and more curious about Huang Bing's strength.

Since several people have decided to try to attack the people in black robes, Ryan naturally has no objection.

In this way, the five people with unified opinions began to set off in the direction of the rift valley.

The Great Rift Valley is not far from the exit of the secret passage. After walking for more than ten minutes, the five people arrived at the edge of the Great Rift Valley.

As you get closer, you can feel the majesty of the Rift Valley even more.

Ryan looked at his surroundings.

As Qing Ling once said, the environment in the St. Feiler underground rift valley is quite bad. Not only is there a layer of thick black fog above, but even the soil on the surface is light black in color.

This situation is obviously abnormal, as if it has been contaminated by some kind of pollution source.

The Great Rift Valley is very deep, and the visual distance is at least hundreds of meters. Even a third-level hero professional will die if he jumps straight down without special means.

Several people made eye contact, and then began to use their own methods.

Qingling directly melted into the shadow and dived to the bottom of the valley easily.

Huang Bing was much more elegant. He stepped out of the rift valley. The next moment, a ladder made of ice crystals was formed under his feet. One end of the ice ladder was embedded in the rock wall. Every time he walked down a step, The stairs above shattered into mist, as if we were walking not into a rift valley, but into our own back garden.

Beside the rift valley, only Ryan, Green Tide and Blue Mountain were left looking at each other.

With just one glance, the three of them knew their respective occupation types - they were all close combat professionals. Involuntarily, the eyes of the three of them showed sympathy for each other.

Compared to the calm Qing Ling and Huang Bing, the three of Ryan could only go into the rift physically.

Fortunately, for third-level melee professionals, it is not difficult to use the concave and convex points on the rock wall of the rift valley to get to the bottom of the valley with repeated use of force.

Soon, the five people regrouped at the bottom of the valley.

The light at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley is very dim, and the ground is not solid soil, but muddy wet mud.

"Where to go?"

Lan Shan asked angrily, and after Huang Bing thought for a few seconds, he pointed to the other side and said: "Here, I can feel the strange spiritual fluctuations there, which should be the remnants of the loosened seal. .”

Ryan glanced at Huang Bing curiously.

I don’t know what the occupation of the overthrown son No. 3 is, but his perception is so sharp.

Since Huang Bing could point out the direction, everyone no longer hesitated and started heading there.

After advancing for a certain distance, Qing Ling suddenly said: "Wait, don't we need to hide for a while? Just walking over like this, what kind of attack is this?"

"It's an attack, yes." Huang Bing, who was walking at the front of the team, said in a calm tone: "But who said an attack has to be sneaky? The best sneak attack is to kill all the enemies."

Huang Bing's words calmed Qing Ling. Although she felt something was wrong, she really couldn't think of a reason to refute. In the end, Miss Assassin could only choose to remain silent.

Ryan glanced at Huang Bing, admiration flashing in his eyes.

Although this guy hides his head and shows his tail, his acting style really suits his taste.

As a hunter who hunts giant beasts, hide-and-seek assassination is really not suitable for him.

Although there are also types of hunters who lay traps and shoot cold arrows in the back, the big sword hunter talks about the word "reckless" - either the monster will die or I will die.

Cat cars and the like are commonplace, right?

cough cough...

Ryan coughed secretly in his heart.

You still have to be cautious, after all, the main body is not a traveling clone, and there is no chance of coming back after death.

The five of them all had third-level strength, and their footsteps were quite fast. Not long after, they arrived at the depths of the Great Rift Valley. From a distance, they could see about ten men in black robes forming a circle, and in the center of the circle , is an altar made of a large number of unknown bones.

On the altar, there is a cross, and a figure is tied to the cross, but it is different from the normal cross. This black cross is long at the top and short at the bottom. It is not an orthodox cross, but a reverse cross!

In front of the reverse cross altar is a translucent energy plane with a radius of tens of meters and embedded in the ground.

It is the entrance seal to the underground labyrinth.

At this moment, subtle cracks appear on the surface of the seal. If so, it will take a long time before the seal is completely damaged. The bloody veins extending from the reverse cross altar cover the surface of the seal.

These blood-colored veins seemed to be alive, and every pulse caused the cracks on the surface of the cover to spread more.

The man in black robe is actively accelerating the opening of the seal!

The undisguised arrival of Ryan and others immediately aroused the vigilance of the man in black robe.

Because of Qingling's sudden intrusion last time, the men in black robes were already prepared for someone to arrive here. Therefore, the moment they appeared, five men in black robes flew towards them. .

The way these men in black robes move is quite strange. Every step they take will form black mud on the ground. Rather than running, it is better to say that they are sliding.

The black robe of the leading man in black robe is slightly different. There are blood lines on the collar. This can no longer be called a black robe, but should be called a black robe with blood lines.

Seeing the five men in black robes approaching quickly, Huang Bing said calmly: "Leave the leader to me. That guy looks interesting. As for the other four, you can each pick one."

After saying that, Huang Bing's body had disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had come to the side of the man in the blood-striped black robe and struck out with one palm.

Following his movements, a large amount of ice mist began to gather, and in an instant, a huge palm of ice was formed, driving the man in black robe who was caught off guard directly into the rock wall beside him.

"So fast!"

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly. Huang Bing didn't even make a sound from disappearing to reappearing. This way of moving is by no means a pure physical movement, but more like "teleportation". Of course, this is not the point, the point is However, looking at Huang Bing's ice palm attack, and thinking of the scene where he had just controlled ice to form a ladder, an idea emerged in Ryan's mind:

He, no, should I say, she is a witch?

This way of manipulating elements at will is simply impossible for ordinary professionals. Like Qing Ling, although she can escape into the shadows and use the power of shadows to cover her weapons, she is determined not to be able to do so. Only witches can To do this.

A look of surprise appeared in Ryan's eyes.

If it were a witch, it would be normal for her to be in the top ten of the third level.

Witches are inherently "taboo" existences, and their combat power is far superior to those of the same level.

A series of thoughts flashed through Ryan's mind, but it was not the time to continue thinking deeply at this moment, because four other men in black robes were already rushing towards them.

The blood-striped black-robed man was pulled away from the battlefield, but it did not make the four black-robed men change the direction of their actions.

Perhaps it's because they have absolute confidence in their leader.

But as the distance got closer, when one of the four black-robed men saw the purple mask on Ryan's face, his steps suddenly stopped and his eyes suddenly changed.

The three men in black robes beside him noticed something strange about their companions, but at this moment they had their arrows ready and had no time to ask more questions, so the three of them each chose an opponent and launched an attack.

The man in black robe who stopped looked at Ryan's indifferent eyes, his body trembled, and the fear from the past suddenly surged into his heart, and he turned around and ran away.

Such an action not only shocked and angered his companions, but even the eyes of Lu Chao, Qing Ling and Lan Shan showed a look of astonishment.

But soon, Qingling thought of something.

Could this guy be one of the three men in black robes who attacked her last time?

Although she didn't know what happened between Zifeng and the three men in black robes after she was unconscious, there was no doubt that if the men in black robes were able to escape without fighting, the battle that happened that day would definitely leave a lasting impression on the men in black robes. A very deep psychological shadow.

The sudden escape of a black-robed man made the other three black-robed men panic and angry. For a moment, they could neither advance nor retreat. However, Lu Chao and others would not just stand there and face the three black-robed men. launched an attack.

Green Tide is a third-level [Great Knight]. With one [Charge], he arrived in front of a black-robed man at an extremely fast speed. He slashed out his big sword, and the sword force like a tidal wave firmly bound the black-robed man to his original position. The ground makes it difficult to escape.

Qingling escaped into the shadows, and when she reappeared, she was behind a man in black robes. In the past, when faced with three men in black robes, she had no choice but to run away after being attacked and bearing the "Heart-Eating Mark", but this did not mean that she would be afraid of the men in black robes when one on one.

As for Lanshan, he also chose a man in black robe, and his attack method was also quite rough. He had a heavy shield in one hand and a mace in the other. I don’t know what kind of skills he used, but the man in black robe was uncontrollable. Head towards him.

And Ryan, because a man in black robes fled without fighting, became the only idle person in the audience.

He stood there, not in a hurry to take action, but turned his attention to the battlefield between Huang Bing and the man in the blood-striped black robe.

It has to be said that the man in black robe with blood patterns still has a few brushes, and his strength is more than a little stronger than the man in black robe that Ryan has dealt with before.

Under Huang Bing's offensive, although he was in dire straits, he still managed to survive, and his strength should have reached the third level limit.

But if this trend continues, the man in the blood-striped black robe will be defeated in less than half a minute.

On the other side, the five remaining men in black robes at the reverse cross altar also saw the situation here.

Realizing that something was wrong, they all immediately mobilized. When the man in black robe who fled without fighting met these five people, he was grabbed by the face by another man in black robe with blood stripes at the head, followed by a tragic and tragic scene. Yelling, the man in black robes shriveled up without any resistance. In just a few seconds, he turned into black ashes and died.

After dealing with the fleeing men in black robes, the five people rushed to the battlefield. Among them, the leading man in black robes with blood stripes broke away from the team and attacked Huang Bing, while the other four went toward Ryan and others. Come.

From the beginning of the battle to now, only a dozen seconds have passed, and this time is not enough for Green Chao, Qingling and Lanshan to deal with the black-robed man they are facing.

In fact, except for Qingling, the fighting situation between Green Tide and Blue Mountain is not optimistic.

In terms of spirituality, Green Chao is stronger than Qingling, while Lanshan and Qingling are about the same. But the problem is that both of them are pure melee professionals. They are helpless in the face of the strange spirituality of the black-robed man. Among them, the weaker one Instead, Lanshan slowly fell into a disadvantage in the battle.

Although Qingling had many battle experiences and the ability to escape from shadows, she had left many wounds on the black-robed man, but these injuries could not play a decisive role at all, let alone, in the black-robed man's body. In his eyes, the shadow's covering effect was very poor, and Qing Ling could not end the battle at hand in a short period of time.

In this case, four more men in black robes joined the battlefield...

Before the battle began, how could they have expected that someone in the black-robed group could hold back the powerful Huang Bing.

Now, with the addition of another third-level extreme level blood-patterned black-robed man, it becomes even more impossible for Huang Bing to complete the battle in a short time.

For a moment, the three of them felt extremely heavy and even a little desperate - should they give up the mission?

However, just before the four men in black robes were about to enter the battlefield, they all stopped in unison as if they had been frightened in some way.

The moment the four of them stopped, a large black and yellow sword penetrated the ground in front of them. A strong shock wave swept across, forcing the four of them to retreat.

An armored hand grasped the hilt of the black and yellow sword.

"Your opponent is me."
