157: One sword becomes ten thousand swords! Powerfully wipe out

After Chen Ming extracted hundreds of Templar Knights, the number appearing began to sharply decrease.

Hearing an unusual sound from above.

Chen Ming and Qin Hongyue almost simultaneously raised their heads and looked up.

They saw a greatsword rapidly falling straight down from the sky.

Its speed was so fast that even the surrounding air was frictionally burning with dazzling firelight.

Bang! Boom!

The greatsword plunged straight into the ground, cracking the floor tiles, which were lifted up in large pieces and shot out in all directions carried by the strong wind.

Seeing this, Qin Hongyue immediately used a flicker step, appeared before Chen Ming, raised her arm, her long sleeves fluttering.

With her palm facing forward, she transformed her spirit energy into a shield, blocking the flying stones.

The stones shattered into dust after impacting the shield at high speed.

Chen Ming was very satisfied with Qin Hongyue's act of protecting her Master.

Then, his gaze fell upon the giant sword whose tip was completely buried underground, a sword at least twenty meters long.

The hilt and guard were engraved with complex patterns, resembling a goat-headed monster.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, "Goats, in the eyes of church believers, should belong to demons, right?"

He didn't understand how a demonic sword could appear among a group of Templar Knights in such an environment and atmosphere.

The style of the black greatsword was completely opposite to that of the previous pure white Templar Knights.

The next second, behind the greatsword, a rectangular, blood-red teleportation gate opened, longer and wider than the blade.

One after another, pitch-black figures walked out from within.

"Armor? Plating? Mecha?"

Four knights walked out from it one after another. The armor they wore had complex patterns and many joint lines.

So much so that Chen Ming couldn't be sure whether this belonged to armor, plating, or...

In his understanding, armor was more focused on unity.

That greatsword was the same; its style was completely different from the Templar Knights, giving a very intuitive feeling that the Templar Knights came from heaven and served God.

While these four knights before him came from hell and associated with demons.

They also had a pair of wide, iconic demon horns on their heads, and held greatswords with special structures. Unlike traditional sword hilts, they had horizontal grips, like brass knuckles, with a greatsword connected at the front.

They held the sword in their right hand and a solar round shield in their left. The shield surface was engraved with complex patterns and text, which, although incomprehensible, revealed a hint of evil.

The four demonic knights seemed to be carved from the same mold. Chen Ming studied them carefully for a long time but couldn't find any difference.

"That greatsword doesn't seem to be prepared for them. Could it be exclusively for the final boss?" Chen Ming made a reasonable guess.

Seeing the demonic knights raise their swords and shields, Qin Hongyue conjured a flying sword completely condensed from spirit energy beside her, shooting towards one of the demonic knights like an arrow.

Seeing this, the demonic knight quickly raised the solar round shield in its hand, intending to block.

However, it overestimated the hardness of the shield and the sharpness of the spirit energy sword.

The moment the shield surface collided with the sword tip, it shattered into pieces.

Although the demonic knight dodged in time, it still couldn't avoid having an arm cut off.

Bang! Boom!

The heavy steel arm fell heavily to the ground. Black flames still flickered at the severed part.

The next second after Chen Ming noticed something was wrong, the severed arm surprisingly returned to the demonic knight's body as if it had a magnetic attraction function.

"It doesn't have strong self-healing ability, but it can restore its limbs after they are cut off?"

What surprised Chen Ming even more was that the solar round shield, which should have been shattered, also pieced itself back together and was restored to its original state.

Everything that happened before seemed to have never occurred.

Based on Chen Ming's many years of experience playing various mobile games, online games, and single-player games, there must be a core within these demonic knights.

If this core isn't shattered, no matter how much damage is done, they will return to their original state.

Qin Hongyue had clearly also discovered this point.

Before her, a vertical sword simultaneously condensed a hilt upwards and a blade downwards.

When the blade was fully formed and the four demonic knights were five or six meters apart.

Qin Hongyue's eyes changed slightly, and she spread her hands outwards.

One sword transformed into ten thousand swords!

"..." filled Chen Ming's field of vision.

The sword tips fell, their sharp points directed straight at the four demonic knights.

The moment Qin Hongyue's raised arm fell.

Swish swish swish! Swish swish swish! Swish swish swish...

Ten thousand spirit energy swords, dense as rain, fell overwhelmingly towards the four demonic knights.

Constantly shattering them! Madly shattering them!

Parts scattered all over the ground during their movement.

Although the core was working hard to repair, it ultimately couldn't keep up with the speed of destruction.

For them, this move by Qin Hongyue was a dimension-reduction strike.

Finally, Chen Ming saw the blood-red core hidden beneath the armor, a crystal core the size of a Kylin melon.

Bang! Boom!

The crystal core was precisely pierced by a spirit energy sword and cracked.

Immediately shattering into pieces.

The demonic knights' movements froze, and they rapidly disintegrated. The body fragments that were flying back halfway also fell.

[Extraction successful! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained new Undead Servants: Demonic Knight +4!]

The entire combat process was even easier than Chen Ming had imagined. Except for the Infinite Reassembly skill, the four demonic knights didn't even have time to use their other skills before being mercilessly annihilated by Qin Hongyue.

Seeing that the demonic knights were no longer reassembling, Qin Hongyue waved her hand, and the ten thousand swords returned.

They re-merged into one sword, standing vertically and hovering beside her, ready to be dispatched at any time.

Qin Hongyue didn't rush to take credit. She returned to Chen Ming and reported.

Like Chen Ming, her gaze was fixed on the teleportation gate, which showed no sign of closing despite the death of the demonic knights.

On Chen Ming's side, it didn't matter even if the Secret Realm Instance announced its end here.

He had gained a very clear understanding of Qin Hongyue's strength.

Her strength was formidable, and she had extensive combat experience.

Most importantly, this Human Empress, who was not only stunningly beautiful but also outrageously strong, had 100% loyalty to him.

To be called Master by such a top-tier powerhouse, for Chen Ming, felt amazing, very amazing.

He liked this feeling.

Bang!

A louder, heavier footstep landed, interrupting Chen Ming's thoughts and forcefully bringing him back to his senses.

Looking over, before it had fully appeared, a thick arm was the first to reach out from the teleportation gate, gripping the pitch-black demonic greatsword.

The moment the five fingers tightened their grip, the originally pitch-black blade, from the center of the guard, seemed to have blood flowing down, carving a strange blood-red rune onto the sword surface.

"Blood recognition of Master?" Chen Ming quipped.

Following that, a black knight, whose style was more refined compared to the demonic knights but without losing its domineering and intimidating presence, walked out from the teleportation gate.

With a boom, it spread its four wings!
