Under Lin Qiye's full strength, this sword was extremely fast. An Qingyu felt a chill coming from his side, and the hair on his body stood up!
He dodged to the other side like lightning, but still couldn't avoid the sharp edge of the sword. The broken sword blade scratched his forehead, and a wisp of scarlet blood swayed into the sky.
One sword slashed out, followed closely by Lin Qiye's second sword. An Qingyu's gray eyes shrank, and his body quickly turned into thousands of rats, scattering in all directions. The sword light flashed through the rats, but there was no trace.
Leave no trace.
The rats climbed over the ruins and finally gathered around the church, and the Anqingyu figure walked out again.
He reached out and touched his forehead, but the scar did not heal on its own. He stared at the blood in his palm with a complicated expression.
In mid-air, Shen Qingzhu's figure gradually fell down, separated into three places with Lin Qiye and No. 27, and surrounded An Qingyu.
"Come back to Daxia with us, Deputy Captain An." Shen Qingzhu said slowly, "You have no way to retreat."
An Qingyu glanced around, and there was no trace of panic in those gray eyes.
"Daxia?" An Qingyu shook his head, "I can't go back."
He raised his right hand and pressed it heavily to the ground. The next moment, the ground under the stone platform dozens of meters away from him suddenly turned into quicksand, directly swallowing the stone platform and the sleeping girl on it.
At the same time, the time and space around Anqingyu became violently disturbed, and a space vortex bloomed behind him.
"Stop him!" Lin Qiye flew out immediately, and Shen Qingzhu, No. 27, also set off at the same time, rushing towards An Qingyu from three different directions!
An Qingyu raised his toes slightly and fell backwards toward the space vortex behind him. His gray eyes stared at Lin Qiye, who was approaching rapidly, and he spoke calmly:
"Goodbye...Captain Lin Qiye."
Lin Qiye threw the Tiancongyun Sword in his hand with all his strength, creating a terrifying sonic boom, but it only passed through the center of the fading vortex lightly, and the figure wearing a torn black robe had disappeared.
The figures of the three people stopped in place.
The cold wind blew through London, which was covered with fallen leaves, and the gray rain gradually dissipated. Lin Qiye looked at the empty nothingness in front of him, clenching his fists tightly...
"He has always been very good at escaping." Seeing this, Shen Qingzhu sighed helplessly.
"He took Chloe away." No. 27 looked at the quicksand in the distance, his face under the hood gloomy, "We can't just let him leave like this, I will continue to chase him!"
As soon as the words fell, No. 27's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared directly in place.
"Qiye, what do you say? Are we still chasing?" Shen Qingzhu turned around and asked.
Lin Qiye stood there, silent for a moment, then shook his head:
"His spatial ability comes from the Gate of Truth, and he can cross extremely long distances in an instant. Even if we chase him now, we can't catch him... Even if we catch him, we may not be able to keep him."
Lin Qiye slowly walked to a broken wall, picked up the Tiancongyun Sword on the ground, and looked at the remaining blood stains on the sword, with bitterness in his eyes.
He clearly remembered that when he saw Future An Qingyu in hell, there was a scar on his forehead that was either a sword mark or a knife mark... At that time, he was still surprised that with Qingyu's resilience, how could it be so easy to leave it?
scar.
Now it seems that the one who left that scar on An Qingyu was himself.
"Then...what should they do?"
Shen Qingzhu pointed to the side.
On top of the scattered ruins, a few knights were kneeling down in front of the quicksand where the stone platform had been, piercing their knight swords into the ground, tears streaking down their cheeks, as if they were repenting something.
After this battle, there were originally seventy or eighty members of the Holy Order of Knights, but now there are only eight left. Even if Charles is included, there are only nine. The church has been almost destroyed. The most important thing is that all they have
Chloe, the saint protected by faith, was also snatched away by An Qingyu.
On this ruined land, they had nothing left.
Clang——!
After one of the knights finished confessing, he suddenly pulled out the sword in front of him and swung it straight towards his throat!
The other knights immediately drew their swords and wanted to die to apologize without hesitation.
Shen Qingzhu frowned, and the six gray wings behind him vibrated hard. The strong wind directly knocked the knight swords from their hands and inserted them upside down into the broken wall in the distance.
The knights were stunned for a moment and turned to look.
"Although I don't like the behavior of some of you, your sense of belief and loyalty are indeed worthy of praise." Shen Qingzhu said lightly, "It would be a pity to seek death like this."
The knights looked at each other and shook their heads:
"My patron saint, this is the oath we made a few years ago. Now that this agreement has not been fulfilled, we should naturally die to apologize. There is nothing to regret.
For the sake of Lady Saint, I have offended you a lot. On behalf of other knights and Lady Taylor, we sincerely apologize to you...
Please don’t stop us anymore.”
Previously, they fought with Lin Qiye and others because Saint Chloe took the initiative to attack Lin Qiye, causing some knights to mistakenly think that they were enemies rather than friends. However, after the previous protective battle, the stance of Lin Qiye and others had become clearer.
However, although the knights are loyal, they are not stupid. By now, they have also realized their mistakes.
After the words fell, they slowly stood up and still walked resolutely towards the knight's swords stuck upside down on the ground.
At this moment, a figure stopped in front of them.
"Lord Charles, do you want to break your oath?" Seeing the figure in red and white armor, the knights frowned slightly.
Charles glanced at everyone and shook his head,
"Our oath has not yet been completed, why should we break it?"
"Not completed yet? But the Holy Lady has been..."
"The Saint was only taken away, not killed. Moreover, with the strength of the Saint, if she really felt that she was in danger, how could she still not wake up now? She was deliberately taken away by the attacker.
of."
Upon hearing the second half of Charles's words, all the knights were stunned at the same time.
"What are you talking about? Being taken away on purpose?"
"Didn't you notice? In fact, the Holy Lady has woken up a long time ago." Charles stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Qiye, "He is the best evidence."
All the knights turned to look at Lin Qiye at the same time. On his ragged chest, a mysterious golden mark was glowing.
"[Covenant]?!!" The moment they saw this mark, all the knights' pupils suddenly shrank.
"[Covenant]?" Lin Qiye looked down at his chest in confusion, "What is that?"
