221: All members promoted to LV9! (Additional update)

In the center of the ruins, Valerius felt like he was going crazy.

He wandered around in this damned ruin like a headless fly for nearly half an hour, not to mention the shadow of an enemy, he didn't even find a single corpse of his subordinates.

The surrounding scenery seemed to repeat forever, no matter which direction he walked, he would eventually return to the starting point.

And he could feel that the life force of his team had all disappeared!

Annihilated!

"Ah ah ah! Get out!"

Valerius roared, his Holy Light power erupting without reservation, forming a golden storm that swept in all directions!

He wanted to break this damned Formation in the most brutal way!

However, just as his Holy Light storm was about to expand to its maximum, the surrounding space suddenly twisted.

The scene before him changed.

The original ruins disappeared, replaced by the town square.

And in the square, twenty figures stood quietly, their cold gazes, like looking at dead men, staring at him.

"Finally willing to come out? You rats hiding in the gutter!"

Seeing the enemy appear, Valerius was not surprised but delighted.

In his opinion, as long as the enemy dared to appear head-on, there was only one dead end!

He was a Rank 7 Peak Inquisitor, dealing with these mere twenty 雜兵 was a piece of cake!

"Get ready to repent in the Holy Fire!"

Valerius raised his greatsword high, chanting sacred incantations, and golden Holy Light runes swirled around him.

"Shield Formation!"

Eight Shield Soldiers roared, slamming their tower shields onto the ground, protecting everyone behind them.

"Holy Impact!"

Valerius roared, swinging the greatsword in his hand forward!

A huge golden energy wave, like a roaring giant wave, rushed towards the Shield Formation!

Boom—!

A violent explosion echoed throughout the square, and the ground was ploughed into a deep gully.

Valerius's face showed a confident smile, in his opinion, with this strike, the opponent's Formation would inevitably collapse.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, his smile froze on his face.

The bulwark formed by eight tower shields was actually intact!

On the shields, a faint blue water curtain flowed, dissolving most of his violent attack.

"How is this possible?!" Valerius couldn't believe his eyes.

Just as he was lost in thought.

"Fire arrows!"

Six arrows entwined with Spiritual Qi flew over the shield wall, arcing through the air, sealing all of Valerius's evasion routes from six different angles.

"Petty tricks!"

Valerius snapped back to reality, roaring, a Holy Light shield appearing on his body, and he swung his greatsword.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The arrows were all repelled.

But before he could catch his breath, a louder roar came from behind the Shield Formation.

"Overlord Spear that Breaks Formations!"

Six spearmen, from the gaps between the Shield Soldiers, charged simultaneously!

The six spears, during the charge, seemed to merge into one, transforming into a brilliant spear light that tore through the air, directly piercing his chest!

This spear, gathered the full strength of six Rank 5 Soldiers, and was amplified by Bai Lingyue's "Bishui Art", its power had far exceeded the scope of Rank 5!

"Not good!"

Valerius's face changed drastically, he felt a fatal threat from that spear light!

He wanted to dodge, but his body had just finished resisting the arrow rain, his old strength was gone, and new strength had not yet been born.

He could only hold his greatsword horizontally in front of his chest, pouring all the Holy Light power in his body into it!

Boom—!!!

An earth-shattering roar exploded in the center of the square!

The brilliant spear light collided with the greatsword infused with Holy Light!

Crack!

The cross greatsword in Valerius's hand, that weapon meticulously crafted by the church workshop, actually broke!

Starting from the tip of the sword, it shattered inch by inch, exploding into metal fragments flying all over the sky!

The spear light, with undiminished momentum, slammed into his breastplate.

Puff!

Valerius was struck by lightning, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and his entire body flew backward.

The magnificent silver Inquisitor armor on his chest was shattered, revealing the bloody and blurry chest underneath.

He lost.

He lost so cleanly, so thoroughly.

He struggled to stand up, but what greeted him were six cold spears, pressing against his neck and limbs.

"W-why..." He raised his head with difficulty, looking at these expressionless Soldiers in front of him.

Why could these seemingly ordinary Soldiers unleash such terrifying combat power?

Their coordination, their combat skills, were like a precise killing machine!

Mo Yan slowly walked out from behind the Soldiers, looking down at him, his tone flat.

"Because, you are too weak."

After speaking, he didn't give Valerius any more chance to speak, and swung the longsword in his hand.

A head soared into the sky.

The battle ended.

The next second, a series of dense System prompts flooded Mo Yan's mind!

"Finally Rank 9!" Mo Yan felt the Spiritual Qi surging in his body, several times stronger than before, and his heart was agitated.

"I wonder if there will be a bigger surprise for the automatic production effect when I reach Rank 10 Foundation Establishment."

He was even more surprised by the performance of the Soldiers, "Twenty Rank 6 elites, with Spiritual Moon, were actually able to kill a Rank 7 Peak... The potential of my army is even greater than I imagined!"

Mo Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, waved his hand, and collected all the corpses and equipment on the battlefield into his talent space.

"Spiritual Moon, remove the Formation, we should withdraw."

"Yes, my Lord."

Bai Lingyue waved her delicate hand, and the mist shrouding the entire Black Crow Town quickly dissipated like a receding tide.

The group of people, carrying rich spoils of war, left quietly.

Less than two hours after they left, from the direction of the Digenha Diocese, several even more powerful auras were rapidly rushing towards Black Crow Town at an astonishing speed.
