Chapter 237: Chapter 198: Cross Slash (Additional Release Requesting Subscriptions)_2

The knight answered politely, "Wandering Knight Wal, extends his greetings to you, miss beautiful!"

"Wal... you must be a powerful knight who has already condensed a Combat Energy Seed, yet you have not been recognized by a noble who would grant you a Sealed Land?"

Sofia was somewhat surprised.

There were many kinds of knights, like her two guards, who actually couldn’t even count as knight retainers.

A true knight must practice a Breathing Skill, then condense a Combat Energy Seed, in order to fight in heavy armor, becoming the enemy of tens of thousands on the battlefield.

In the face of such killing machines, even if ordinary farmers revolted, a thousand would not be the match of one knight.

"It’s not like that, I just like to wander..."

A playful yet seemingly profound sorrow surfaced on Wal’s face.

At this moment, they saw a young man approaching, "What a heroic rescue of a beauty..."

Fang Xing was merely sighing to himself while also harboring some ideas about this knight.

Well, anyone else would certainly hope for something to happen with the beautiful noble young lady.

But he was interested in Wal’s knight Cultivation Technique.

After all, everything this world could offer him, he had to discover on his own.

"Who are you?"

Wal looked at Fang Xing with an inexplicable wariness.

"A foreigner on a long journey."

Fang Xing nodded in greeting, "Also... I want to learn some knight techniques, would you be willing to teach me? I can pay for lessons!"

"The Magic Technique I practice is not to be shared."

Wal naturally refused.

He was actually very wary of this person who had suddenly appeared on the road.

"Then there’s no helping it..."

Fang Xing scratched his head; the other person wasn’t bad, so if he just attacked and used Soul Search, it seemed like he would be the villain.

Although becoming a villain wasn’t a big deal, if he lost his sense of morality, he would surely also lose his baseline.

When the contamination of the Evil God returned, he might no longer possess such a pure Martial Arts Will.

’Forget it, there must be knights up to no good; just find one...’

Fang Xing waved his hand, ready to take his leave.

At that moment, Sofia bit her lip and made a request to Wal, "Although it’s presumptuous, could you escort me to the nearest Duncan City?"

"It would be my honor..."

Wal smiled faintly and agreed.

Suddenly, both he and Fang Xing frowned at the same time, looking around.

Whoosh whoosh!

A breeze blew by, bringing a stench of decay.

The sky dome grew dark, as if night that would make visibility near zero was about to fall.

"What’s this..."

Wal’s eyes were filled with solemnity as he immediately drew his Cross Sword, positioning himself in front of the carriage, "There are wild spirits roaming, Miss Sofia, please stay inside the carriage and do not come out..."

He scratched his head again, "May I ask, has your baron family offended anyone?"

Among the three people present, the noble young lady was the most likely target of an attack.

Of course, it could also just be bad luck, stumbling upon a roaming wild spirit.

’Is this... corruption by the Evil God?’

’Indeed, the people of this world seem to have mastered the use of the corruption by the Evil God, to the extent that it’s somewhat supreme...’

Fang Xing glanced at Wal.

He could sense that Wal’s so-called ’Combat Energy Seed’ was also a kind of corruption by the Evil God, only it had been completely domesticated.

And even a completely new Evil God organ and tissue had been generated within the body!

’If those research fanatics at the college knew about this, they would go mad...’

’Especially the Nine Swords Academy... The development here in this world seems to have some similarities with some of the cutting-edge research at the Nine Swords Academy.’

Fang Xing thought to himself.

As a Martial Artist, he naturally did not take courses involving advanced technology; it was mainly research on Ancient Martial.

For example, the research group he had previously participated in discussed the possibility of merging two S-level Martial Arts Scriptures.

As a researcher, one needed to personally practice, and also make suggestions for improvements.

Strictly speaking, he was more like a tool being studied as a graduate student.

Just then, a shadowy figure gradually emerged from the darkness ahead.

The figure seemed neither alive nor dead and was enveloped in a terrifying contamination from the Evil God; Fang Xing actually found the appearance quite familiar.

"Is that Ba Yi... what monster has he been turned into?"

"The Voodoo Corpse of the Sado Sect?!"

Wal’s body ignited in a layer of translucent Fighting Spirit, terrifyingly boosting all his physical abilities. "Evil beings should be purified... Radiant Cross Slash!"

He charged forward, arriving in front of Ba Yi’s Voodoo Corpse as a flash of holy radiance appeared on his Cross Sword.

In mid-air, it seemed as if a white cross of light had passed through.

Sizzle!

Wal’s Cross Sword cut down like a hot knife through solid fat, splitting Ba Yi’s Voodoo Corpse right down the middle.

This Voodoo Corpse, made by Mensa using a considerable amount of material, had yet to show its power before being severed in two.

"Not only the body’s Fighting Spirit... That Cross Sword, according to the Sado Sect’s classification, should have been Sealed with ’Spirit’ which enables it to slash evil beings, right?"

Fang Xing nodded inwardly upon seeing this, "It seems that the extraordinary paths of this world all seem to have a relation to Spirit... is it only itself that can counteract the contamination of the Evil God?"

"Is this... a Cross Sword?! Cross Slash?!"

Miss Sofia was awe-stricken as if she saw an idol, "Are you perhaps one of the people from the renowned Holy Knight Order of the Church Court?"

There were many Cultivation Techniques for knights in the world.

But those who could use ’Radiant Cross Slash’ were very few!

Moreover, every one of them was a renowned figure; this sword technique came from the Radiant Church and was a standard issue of the Church’s most famous Holy Knight Order!

"A wandering important figure... must have a story to tell..."

"And a brainless noble girl with ample bosom..."

Fang Xing glanced at Wal and then at Sofia, feeling as if he was quickly assembling the standard cast for an adventure story.

"Be careful... although the Voodoo Corpse is dead, the strangeness around us hasn’t dissipated..."

Wal looked up at the still dark night sky, holding his sword in both hands, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"Because the Voodoo Corpse was just an appetizer, the main course is still to come..."

Fang Xing’s eyes were deep and profound, as if he could see more shadowy figures slowly emerging from the darkness.

A burst of radiance spewed from Wal’s Cross Sword, making his expression change, "A true Evil Spirit is approaching..."

Sweat beaded on his forehead as he knew his sword had been blessed by the gods and could warn of powerful Evil Spirits nearby.

Now, this radiance signified that the approaching Evil Spirit was extremely terrifying!

It was beyond his ability to cope.

"Oh Lord... could it be that I must once again forsake the oath I once took before the gods and flee alone? No! Never!"

Wal seemed to recall something, his expression steadied, and he took out a silver jewelry box from his chest, opening it to reveal a layer of black, foul-smelling grease.

He picked up a silk handkerchief and carefully applied the sword oil to the Cross Sword.

"Hey, stranger..."

While working, Wal called out to Fang Xing, "It’s extremely dangerous around here right now, if you don’t want to die, get back to the carriage quickly..."

"Ah!"

Just then, a scream echoed out.

It was Sofia’s nanny!

Somehow, she had been hoisted up high by a pair of antlers, her limbs pierced through, blood dripping down continuously...

"It’s a Deer Head Spectre!"

Wal, who had finished applying the Holy Oil, also saw the spirit that flickered in and out of the fog.

"I’ll hold it off; you all run!"

With a swipe of his hand, the blade of the Cross Sword ignited.

And it wasn’t just any flame; it directly dispelled the darkness, driving back the original fog...

"Radiant Cross Slash!"

Wal charged towards the Deer Head Spectre.

He was well aware that he was no match for the Deer Head Spectre.

Moreover, a Spirit couldn’t be killed outright; without the cooperation of a Divine Shepherd, even if he could inflict severe damage on the foe, he couldn’t Seal it.

In essence, staying meant certain death.

Yet for the oath he once swore in his heart, he still chose to stand before the common people!
