A tit-for-tat conversation with the Seed of Light. (5800)
Following Cao Xing's order, Braum was the first to step out from the crowd, his body rapidly enlarging!
In a short amount of time, he transformed into a giant over two meters tall!
He let out a roar.
"Little ones, come over and attack Braum!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the assassins uncontrollably rushed toward Braum!
It was his area-of-effect taunt skill—Giant's Roar!
The eyes of this group of assassins simultaneously held a look of seeing a ghost.
Before they could even react.
A larger figure appeared in front of Braum.
It was Jode Ironfrost!
This true member of the Giant Clan, just standing there, gave people an extremely powerful sense of oppression!
Then, he directly raised his massive fist!
"Whoosh—"
A terrifying suction force came forth!
In an instant, all these dozen cultists were sucked in front of him.
The next moment, Jode Ironfrost punched out!
"Boom!!!"
This punch also created a sonic boom.
The moment these Church of Light assassins made contact with Jode Ironfrost's heavy fist,
they felt as if they had been struck by an iceberg, suffering compound fractures all over their bodies!!
They were sent flying backward in an instant!
[-66232!]
[-41526]
[-67622!]
[-68622!]
[-79242!]
…
Terrifying damage numbers appeared.
The combination of these two big guys, Braum and Jode, was quite formidable!
With just one punch, they heavily injured these assassins.
On the other side.
Hilda, exuding a bloody aura, made a casual gesture.
A massive number of self-destructing Blood Spiders lunged over, directly attaching themselves to these elite assassins to detonate.
"Puff! Puff, puff!"
Instantly, flowers of blood exploded.
The Blood Poison status on these elite assassins stacked by dozens of layers!
[-115240]
[-115240]
[-115240]
[-115240]
…
Terrifying damage numbers in the hundreds of thousands appeared!
The intense Blood Poison made these elite assassins let out bone-chilling screams!
"Ah!!! Damn it, I've been bitten by a spider!"
"What kind of poison is this? My bones are melting!"
"Evil guy!"
Half the residents of Redstone Town could hear these screams.
Many residents were awakened from their sleep in the middle of the night, but none dared to come out.
They hid in their rooms, trembling.
In just two or three seconds, these Tier 6 elite assassins fell into a near-death state!
The Blood Spider Queen, after evolving to Master-level, was truly terrifying!
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing directly raised his staff.
Then, he unleashed a [Ice Tornado Storm] + [Iceberg Drop], covering all dozen people below.
"Swish…"
Two massive Ice Dragons soared into the sky and began to spin at high speed!
"Boom! Rumble!"
When the massive magical fluctuation dissipated,
most of the Church of Light assassins had their HP reduced to zero and were killed instantly on the spot.
Only the last two or three elite assassins were deliberately kept alive by Cao Xing.
[You killed Church of Light elite members * 11, gained EXP: 139562, gained Honor Points: 188]
[Combatants gained EXP: 69781]
…
The battle outside ended in a crushing manner, taking less than a minute in total.
And inside the building ahead, the sounds of fighting were still coming out.
Cao Xing quickly said, "Tie these guys up and bring them back to the territory."
He was just worrying about where to find members of the Church of Light, and it turned out they had come to him on their own.
This way, he could take these assassins back and have Isabelle use [Confession] to force out clues about the Church of Light headquarters.
Of course, even if he couldn't force out clues about the headquarters, getting some other information would also be good.
Hearing the order, Braum quickly walked over.
He rolled over the three heavily injured Church of Light assassins and tied them into a knot.
Cao Xing quickly crossed the courtyard and entered the Baron's Mansion.
As soon as he entered, he immediately saw Sarah and this white-robed priest still in a state of combat.
However, it was Sarah who was one-sidedly crushing the opponent.
An archer being closed in on by an assassin—needless to say what the consequences are, right?
Especially since it was a violent assassin like Sarah.
Every slash landed, splashing up a terrifying 40,000 to 50,000 damage!
The white-robed priest's HP plummeted like flowing water!
If it weren't for his nearly 900,000 HP, he would have been killed by Sarah on the spot long ago.
But even so, the battle had only been going on for a minute.
This white-robed priest's HP had already dropped below 300,000.
Obviously, this remaining HP wouldn't let him last much longer!
"Damn it! Who on earth are you!"
The white-robed priest looked at Sarah before him, questioning in shock and anger!
And when Cao Xing entered, his gaze immediately locked onto him!
"Otherworld Lord…"
"So, the mastermind behind this guy is you…"
In this instant, he seemed to understand something!
However, just at this moment.
Sarah snapped her fingers.
"Snap!"
[-258232!]
Shadow Bloom!
A massive burst of damage erupted.
It directly blasted the white-robed priest away.
He only had a little over 10,000 HP left.
Just as Cao Xing was preparing to finish this guy off with an [Ice Breaking Flying Blade].
At that moment, a powerful light erupted from the white-robed priest's body!
"Hum!"
This light was too intense, directly illuminating the entire Baron's Mansion!
It made the sky over Redstone Town as bright as day!
But Cao Xing felt a familiar aura within it.
That was the aura belonging to the Sacred Scripture!
At the same time, a male voice emerged from this white-robed priest.
"Kaire, what happened?"
The white-robed priest, clutching his chest, said with difficulty, "Lord Seed of Light, an unexpected situation has occurred!"
"A group of people suddenly broke in and ruined our plan. The leader is a…"
Before he could finish, Sarah's Flowing Fire Blade had already slashed across his throat.
"Pfft!"
[-117951!]
Critical Strike!
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed Church of Light, White-robed Priest, Lv56, Tier 6 Boss-class creature, gained EXP: 73920, gained Honor Points: 600]
…
He wanted to reveal Cao Xing's identity, but was directly interrupted by Sarah's finishing move.
He stared blankly in the direction where Cao Xing was.
Finally, he collapsed.
However, after this white-robed priest died, the power of light on his body still had not dissipated.
The atmosphere seemed to be in a state of silence.
The male voice appeared again and asked.
"Who are you?"
Cao Xing's eyes flickered; through the conversation of the white-robed priest just now, he already knew the other party's identity.
Seed of Light!
That existence who, like him, was also a human Survivor but had been chosen by the God of Light.
At the same time, it was also his enemy.
This was also the first time he had heard the other party's voice.
It sounded like he was also an Easterner, just like him.
Seeing Cao Xing remain silent, the Seed of Light on the other side was no fool.
"In the Gale Snowfield, there aren't many who have the ability to kill Kaire."
"And Kaire was following my orders to deal with that traitor."
"Before this, I sent people to investigate all the powerful figures near the Baron's Mansion."
"In this area, there is only one person who possesses Master-level combat power!"
"I know your identity now!"
"You are… Cao Xing!"
Cao Xing's eyes flickered.
This guy actually had something.
He actually managed to deduce it was him all of a sudden.
This was also related to some clues Cao Xing had revealed earlier.
After all, his performance in the Battle of the Oracle was truly too eye-catching.
Possessing four Master-level combatants, and being a Survivor of the Gale Snowfield.
It was hard not to associate them together.
Cao Xing still did not speak.
But the other side had already confirmed his guess.
"Cao Xing, I know it's you!"
"Before this, I had already sent people to investigate you."
"You think you've hidden yourself perfectly, but actually, you had already been seen through by me long ago!"
"That witch making a move in the Battle of the Oracle already exposed that you had been to the Witch Forest."
"Later, I learned about some deeds through other Survivors."
"The Three Heroes Association's Fang Long and Jiang Qingyun, who had grudges against you, were both wiped out one after another. Later, some people went to investigate and discovered the power of demons in their territory."
"In other words, that demon in Lake Doron City was also you!"
"Very well, disrupting our operations again and again, and even stealing our church's Sacred Scripture!"
"You will soon pay the price for your actions. I will definitely make you regret coming into this world!"
Cao Xing pondered for a moment and knew he couldn't keep hiding it.
He chuckled, "Is that so? I'd like to see how you plan to make me regret it."
"You are the Seed of Light, right?"
"Did you like the gift I sent you a few days ago?"
"Did that group of demons give you a surprise?"
Hearing this, the light on the white-robed priest's corpse instantly flared up significantly!
At this moment, the Seed of Light was in a new stronghold, his hands trembling as he held the Dawn Sacred Scripture.
Upon hearing Cao Xing's voice, he stood up directly from his chair, looking forward with eyes full of hateful light.
This was the first time he had been this close to his enemy!
The murderous intent in his heart was nearly boiling!
"Damn guy, it really is him!"
"Cao Xing, I want you to die!"
A moment later, he took deep breaths continuously to calm himself down.
He knew that this was the most critical moment.
His tone returned to calm as he said.
"Cao Xing, I really didn't expect that the one who has been targeting our church is actually an Otherworld Lord like you."
"You have truly exceeded my expectations!"
"I estimate that even the God of Light would not have thought that an Otherworld Lord could develop so quickly."
"And once He notices, you will bear the wrath of a god and perish in an instant!"
Speaking of this, the Seed of Light changed the subject.
"However, considering that we are both from Blue Star, I can give you a chance."
Cao Xing on the other side heard this and chuckled again.
"Oh? What kind of opportunity are you offering me?"
Seed of Light said: "Hand over the scripture, and lead your master-level members to join the Church."
"Not only will all previous grudges be wiped clean, but when the God of Light descends, I can even speak on your behalf and have him help you break through to Legendary!"
Cao Xing seemed intrigued. "Is that so? The God of Light has the ability to help others advance to Legendary?"
"Of course, the power of a deity is beyond your imagination!" Seed of Light said proudly.
Cao Xing said: "Since the deity is so powerful, why can't you even deal with some demons?"
Upon hearing this, the tone on the other side stiffened.
A moment later, Seed of Light snorted coldly: "What do you know?"
"The noble God of Light is currently in a sealed state and cannot use much divine power."
"Once he descends, that group of demons will be annihilated in an instant!"
Cao Xing narrowed his eyes and continued: "Then when your God of Light comes out, have him talk to me."
This meant that Seed of Light was not qualified.
The young man on the other side naturally heard the mockery in Cao Xing's words.
"Cao Xing, don't push your luck. Do you really think you're worthy of having the God of Light meet you in person?"
Cao Xing said calmly: "Yeah, otherwise, does anyone in your Church of Light have the qualifications to talk to me?"
"I managed to reach first place among tens of millions of Survivors. What can you do?"
"Without relying on the so-called Church of Light, you aren't even as good as the most ordinary Lord."
"You've even developed a sense of superiority from being a dog for the God of Light."
"If you were standing in front of me right now, I could kill you within a second. Do you believe me?"
Hearing the disdain in Cao Xing's tone, Seed of Light was almost losing control.
Because what Cao Xing said was the truth.
If it weren't for the Church of Light, if he had developed his territory by following the rules like other Survivors, he might have died long ago.
However, Seed of Light was unwilling to admit it.
He regained his composure and said.
"Stop acting tough, Cao Xing! I have already pinpointed your location."
"If you are unwilling to submit, your territory will face our retaliation!"
"Now, I am in the shadows and you are in the light. Opposing us will not end well for you!"
Cao Xing listened to the other party's threat, his expression remaining unchanged.
"Is that so? Then how do you know I haven't pinpointed your location?"
"Do you think you can hide your little maneuvers at the border from anyone?"
"Or perhaps… you think you've hidden yourself very well?"
Hearing this, the other side fell silent for a moment again.
He was somewhat surprised that Cao Xing actually grasped so much information.
However, he also seemed to see that the other party was bluffing him, and he must not reveal his flaws at this moment.
"Cao Xing, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
Cao Xing chuckled: "I return those words to you."
"When the day comes that I drag you out, I hope you won't regret it."
After exchanging a round of harsh words, the light dissipated completely.
And Cao Xing stood there, carefully pondering the conversation that had just taken place.
This was the first round of probing between the two sides.
Now, they had both roughly determined the location of their enemy!
Cao Xing, in the Gale Snowfield.
Seed of Light, in the border region.
At this moment.
These two men, who both came from Blue Star, were both gazing toward the direction where the other was located.
Clearly, their identities destined them to be enemies.
It was a life-or-death struggle between the two!
Now, it was just a matter of seeing who could find the other first!
Or rather, whoever possessed greater power would be the final winner.
And Cao Xing now possessed dozens of master-level powerhouses.
These master-level powerhouses, bolstered by powerful status effects, could even be considered hero-level.
In other words, he now possessed dozens of heroes.
Besides that, he sat upon nearly two thousand powerful warriors capable of fighting one against a hundred, or even a thousand, as well as an undead army of over a hundred thousand!
Plus, the Lizardman Totem capable of killing a Legendary in seconds.
Let alone retaliation from the Church of Light.
Even if this faction mobilized its entire nest for a direct confrontation, Cao Xing would not be afraid at all.
He looked at the corpse of the white-robed priest and murmured.
"Church of Light, when I find your headquarters, that will be the moment of your annihilation."
Meanwhile.
Sarah picked up the soul and weapon dropped by the white-robed priest, then said respectfully: "My Lord, these are the items that just dropped."
Cao Xing nodded slightly and took the things from Sarah's hands.
[Obtained: White-robed Priest: Carey's Leader-level Soul * 1]
[Obtained: Master-level Heart of Power * 1]
[Obtained: Cursed Scale Longbow (Gold)]
[Obtained: Large Agility Book * 7]
[Obtained: master-level elemental crystal * 62]
…The harvest was not bad; a soul and a Heart of Power.
Cao Xing put them into his backpack and then ordered: "Very good. Now, leave the Baron's Mansion immediately and go to the entire Redstone Town and its surroundings."
"Check if there are any traces of other assassins nearby."
"Understood!" After speaking, Sarah disappeared directly into the shadows.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing looked toward the two people shivering in the corner.
Besides Fitz Walker, there was another woman in her thirties, but because she was well-maintained, she looked only in her early thirties.
Her facial features were somewhat similar to Fitz Walker's.
Her dark brown pupils stared at Cao Xing, with a look of uncertainty and suspicion in her eyes.
The young Baron, clutching the arrow in his shoulder, walked forward with a pale face.
Then he said with an excited expression.
"My… My Lord, you have finally come!"
Cao Xing nodded. "How is your situation now?"
Fitz Walker replied: "I am fine, I just took an arrow to the shoulder, the situation is okay."
Speaking of this, he said angrily: "These damned cultists, they are truly too bold!"
"They actually dared to invade the Baron's Mansion!"
Cao Xing laughed: "Don't you understand the nature of these cultists yet? These crazy guys, there's nothing they wouldn't do."
"It's not bad that you managed to save your life this time."
Upon hearing this, Fitz Walker also managed to pull a smile onto his face.
"What you say is true, My Lord, these…"
Before he could finish his sentence, his face suddenly turned pale, his body went limp, and he fainted.
"Thump…" Fitz Walker fell to the ground.
The expression on the mature woman's face changed to one of panic in an instant.
"Fitz!" "What's wrong with you, my child!"
She knelt hurriedly beside Fitz, and because her movements were too violent, several buttons on her clothes popped off.
Revealing a patch of snowy white on her chest, as well as black lace underwear.
Cao Xing frowned slightly and checked Fitz Walker's panel.
Then he said: "He is fine, he is just poisoned."
Upon hearing this, the woman nearby quickly came to Cao Xing's side, begging with her face full of entreaty.
"My Lord… please, save him!" "I only have this one child…"
Cao Xing lowered his head and immediately saw that patch of snowy white, and that massive scale that could not be grasped with one hand.
He averted his gaze and placed it on Fitz Walker.
"Don't worry, it is very simple to save him."
Hearing this, the panic on the woman below gradually dissipated, and she asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Really? My Lord?"
Cao Xing couldn't be bothered to explain much more to her and pressed the communication device on his ear directly.
"Rabb, bring the Light Feather Chicken to me."
"I am at Redstone Town next to the Wright River."
Hearing the voice, the Wild Boar Warrior Rabb, who was in the territory, immediately said loudly: "Understood! My Lord, I am coming right now!"
After ordering Rabb, Cao Xing called for others.
"Braum, carry him to the bed first."
"Everyone else, go and clean up the battlefield of the Baron's Mansion."
"Clear away the corpses of these Church of Light assassins."
After hearing the order, everyone began to take action.
Jode Ironfrost picked up the white-robed priest's corpse and dragged it out of the room.
Others were cleaning up other traces of the battle in the courtyard.
Meanwhile, the noble woman sitting on the ground looked at Cao Xing's back, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
She seemed unable to understand why those powerful beings were so obedient to him.
Furthermore, when her son had an accident, he also reached out to him for help.
What exactly was this person's identity, and how much power did he possess?
In her puzzled gaze.
Braum had already lifted Fitz Walker up and placed him on the desk nearby.
Then he went out to clean up the battlefield.
Cao Xing sat leisurely on a large animal skin chair nearby, his gaze surveying this Baron's Mansion.
Come to think of it, this was his first time coming to Fitz Walker's Baron's Mansion. He scanned the surroundings, and a look of disappointment gradually appeared in his eyes.
Although the decoration here was luxurious, compared to his own Lord's Castle, there was still a huge gap.
And the defensive strength was also very weak.
The entire Baron's Mansion, all guards added together, was only over a hundred people, and their levels were not high.
This battle could be said to have wiped out the entire force.
In the Gale Snowfield, it was not easy for these natives to raise a guard team of level 30 or 40.
However, this was not something Cao Xing needed to worry about.
Meanwhile, the mature woman walked over gracefully and brought him a cup of hot water.
She placed it respectfully by his side and said pleadingly: "My Lord, please, you must save Fitz…"
"He is the only man in our family left."
"This child is also very hardworking; he just became a Viscount, and he has a bright future ahead."
"If you can save him, I am willing to agree to anything you ask…"
