212: The broken knight, tormented by pain

"Space Rift!?"

John was immensely shocked as he watched the rift slowly open before him.

Professionals possess extraordinary power.

They seem to be able to ascend to heaven and descend to earth, omnipotent.

But there are still many unsolved problems.

The foremost among them is spatial traversal technology.

In this world, those who can transmit messages across space are few and far between.

And items with such attributes are all of Orange Tier quality or higher.

"As expected of Sword Emperor's grandson."

"Can the ability to traverse space also be inherited?"

John swallowed, in his impression, only the Sword Emperor of Jiu Zhou, Lin Xuan, seemed capable of freely teleporting across space.

But Lin Xuan is an Emperor-Ranked Professional.

Qin Yang is only Rank 60 and has already mastered this ability.

He truly couldn't imagine what heights he would reach in the future.

Just as John was astonished, Qin Yang had already stepped into the space rift.

"You come along too, I need an introducer."

Qin Yang turned back and said to John.

He had done so many good deeds, there had to be a witness, right? Below the top floor of the Holy Light Tower.

Deputy Commander Tina was trembling uncontrollably.

The figure made of black-purple Qi that she faced was precisely the most powerful, cruel, and terrifying existence in the history of Professionals.

Ice Heart Queen, Saniman A Min.

Just thinking this name in her mind made her feel an extreme, bone-chilling cold.

That was the temperature of death.

"Why... why are you still in this world?"

Tina's voice trembled, as if she had lost the courage to guard the Holy Light.

Ice Heart Queen did not answer, but merely smiled faintly: "Let me see the willpower of a Holy Knight."

Immediately after, purple flames flared in her hollow eyes.

A sharp mental wave rushed into Tina's mind and exploded instantly.

"Ah!"

Tina let out a painful howl, then began to convulse all over.

One mental shock after another exploded in her mind.

This was the infamous skill, Agonizing Torment.

An ability that causes no damage but inflicts extreme pain.

And when cast by the Emperor Tier Ice Heart Queen, the pain generated was super-multiplied.

In an instant, Tina had already collapsed to the ground, her body twitching like a worm.

Her body would curl up one moment, then suddenly arch up the next.

Tears, saliva, and white foam streamed all over the floor.

"Hahahahaha!"

Ice Heart Queen let out a wild laugh.

Tormenting a Holy Knight made her feel the pleasure of revenge.

The four words "Ice Heart Queen" had made the world fear her for four hundred years.

And how could the two words "Holy Light" not make her feel Hatred for four hundred years?

"Why can Holy Light encompass everything, yet not the power of the undead?"

"Holy Light, what exactly are you afraid of?"

"Tell me!"

"Elebella!"

Perhaps she recalled the past.

Ice Heart Queen suddenly became hysterical.

But these words were useless to a Holy Knight.

She wanted to obtain the holy sacrifice divine mirror and question the Holy Light Goddess, Elebella, face to face.

"Uh... uh uh!"

Tina on the ground convulsed violently, continuously spitting white foam.

Her entire being was wandering in the immense pain of being unable to seek death.

Ice Heart Queen glanced at her with disgust, purple flames reigniting in her eyes, and said: "Open the barrier."

This voice, filled with magical fluctuations, had the ability to control people's minds.

Tina's mental attributes were almost zero, her mind already unclear, how could she resist manipulation?

In her intense pain, she tremblingly reached out her hand towards the bronze door.

Buzz!

With a beautiful, ethereal hum.

Before the bronze door, ripples appeared out of thin air.

The barrier, which blocked everything, was dissolving like a glacier.

Ice Heart Queen's lips curved into an arc.

The revenge plan, brewing for four hundred years, was about to succeed.

She wanted to shatter the holy sacrifice divine mirror, sever the Holy Light Goddess's connection with this world, and make Holy Light disappear from this world!

Just then, she suddenly felt a surge of mental fluctuation.

Immediately, her Soul felt as if it had been pierced by ten thousand steel needles, erupting in intense pain.

"Agonizing Torment?"

Ice Heart Queen was horrified.

She had actually been subjected to Agonizing Torment by someone?

Fortunately, her Emperor Tier strength was not enough to make the Ice Heart Queen instantly collapse.

She turned her head sharply, looking at Tina on the ground.

Tina's eyes were still vacant.

Only because of the interruption of "Agonizing Torment."

She was no longer under the control of the Ice Heart Queen.

She lay on the ground, disoriented, breathing weakly.

"It wasn't her."

Ice Heart Queen suppressed the intense pain deep in her Soul and scanned the hall.

Soon, in the shadows of a corner, she detected something unusual.

"Come out!"

Ice Heart Queen flipped her right hand and blasted a purple flame into the shadows.

Instantly, three figures flew out from the corner, moving at extreme speed to stand before the Ice Heart Queen.

They were three masked men with curved swords at their waists, exuding a chilling killing intent from head to toe.

Ice Heart Queen was slightly startled.

She couldn't even see the attribute panels of these people.

Judging only from their aura, their strength was probably at the Hero Rank.

"Such strong stealth ability."

Ice Heart Queen thought to herself, then asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Hero Rank in the eyes of the Ice Heart Queen was less than an ant.

But at this moment, she was not in her true body, so she still couldn't underestimate the people before her.

To be able to lurk under her nose for so long, they were probably not ordinary Professionals.

Moreover, since they dared to show themselves, they must have means to deal with her.

The three assassins did not answer the Ice Heart Queen's question.

Instead, at the same time, their eyes glowed red.

Instantly, Ice Heart Queen once again felt the pain of her Soul being pricked by needles.

These three individuals had simultaneously unleashed "Agonizing Torment."

"Damn it!"

Ice Heart Queen growled.

She was already a Soul body; although she wouldn't be defeated by Agonizing Torment, under such interference, she couldn't instantly cast skills.

Just as Ice Heart Queen endured the pain, wanting to cast a skill to counterattack.

She heard a cold voice.

"Domain Expansion, Asura Training Ground."

"What?!" Ice Heart Queen was startled, looking up.

At some unknown point, another space rift had appeared in front of her.

A man's figure was faintly visible within the rift.

The man wore a star-patterned robe and had sharp eyes.

A mysterious pressure emanated from his entire body.

And in his eyes, there were actually six pupils!

One of the purple pupils was emitting ripples, as if possessing a huge suction force.

Buzz!

Ice Heart Queen only felt her spirit jolt.

Immediately, she felt a centrifugal force.

When she adjusted her state again,

The environment she was in had changed.

At this moment, she was in a huge gladiatorial arena, with no one on the empty circular stands.

But in the center of the arena, a tall figure stood like a colossal pillar reaching the sky.

He had red hair like a lion's mane and rough, dark gray skin.

His muscles were bulging like hills.

His fangs curved upwards in a blood-red maw.

Ice Heart Queen floated in the air, yet she had to look up at this giant.

Even with her Peak Emperor Tier Rank, she couldn't discern the opponent's strength.

Faintly, she could even feel a trace of divine aura from his body.

"Is... is it a Demon God?"

Ice Heart Queen's Soul trembled, her heart filled with horror.

At her Rank, very few things could suppress her.

But the aura of this giant before her gave her a powerful sense of oppression.

Before Ice Heart Queen could open her mouth to inquire, she heard the giant speak.

"Asura King, Moya."

"By the command of the Supreme Emperor, I'm here to spar with you."
