Looking at Ding Jinyu's shocked and frightened face, Lin Ze let out a breath.
In fact, in terms of strength alone, even if he is stronger than Ding Jin, he is only slightly stronger. After all, the latter is a ninth-level swordsmith, and he is already considered to be one of the top few in the world of swordsmanship.
It's a pity that Ding Jin's 'Blood Emperor' was restrained a bit by his spiritual energy, so he was defeated so humiliatingly.
If it were another ninth-level swordsmith, even if Lin Ze could defeat him, it might not be so easy.
"Lin Ze!"
Su Lin's cold voice brought Lin Ze back to reality from his thoughts. He turned around and found Su Lin walking towards him. The girl's body was covered in blood, and there was a deep wound on her abdomen. The blood had already covered it.
The clothes around him were soaked in a small amount.
"You're hurt."
Su Lin was startled, looked down at the wound on his abdomen, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small injury, it's okay with me."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Ze shaking his head. Then he reached out and pressed softly on the wound on Su Lin's lower abdomen, and a hazy milky white light emerged.
In an instant, Su Lin felt that the severe pain in her abdominal wound was greatly relieved, and waves of warm and cool sensations came clearly, making her feel as comfortable as if she was in a hot spring.
The light lasted for more than a minute. When Lin Ze removed his palm, Su Lin looked down and was surprised to find that the wound had disappeared and the skin was as smooth as ever. If there were not blood stains still left on the clothes, there would be no trace of it.
Signs of injury.
"Is this also Honglian's ability?" Su Lin asked in astonishment, eyes widening in surprise.
Lin Ze nodded without any further explanation.
Fortunately, Su Lin heard the words and stopped asking questions. Lin Ze had brought her so many surprises so far that she was already a little numb.
The nearby guild members saw this scene and marveled at it. They were quite envious of Su Lin, but they did not dare to step forward and ask Lin Ze to help them treat him. The terrifying strength that the latter showed in the battle just now was still vivid in his mind.
, making them very in awe.
"That's right! We have to return to the settlement as soon as possible!"
After coming back to his senses, Su Lin seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said urgently.
"The Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce are preparing to attack the guild headquarters!"
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows: "What's going on?"
Su Lin immediately explained the origin of the matter to Lin Ze in detail. Only then did the latter understand why the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce had set up this trap. It turned out that they were trying to lure the main force of the guild out of the settlement and then take the opportunity to sneak attack on the guild headquarters.
idea.
"We need to notify the rescue team immediately, and then rush back to the guild headquarters to provide support!" Su Lin said urgently.
"Okay!" Lin Ze nodded without hesitation.
He and the Autonomous Council are now in a desperate situation. If it and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce succeed in destroying the Swordsmith Guild and growing in power, then he may have to leave the settlement and become a wanderer in the ruins of the city.
After several previous battles, the guild team suffered heavy casualties. Even the leader, Li Chengdu, was killed by Ding Jin's sword, and his blood was drained alive while he was in a coma. Now, including Lin Ze, there were only seven or eight people left in the team.
Without delay, they immediately rushed towards the exit of the ruins. When they arrived at the exit, they happened to bump into Pan Zongchang and his people coming to support. After a detailed explanation, Pan Zongchang's expression changed drastically when he learned about the conspiracy of the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce. He was in a hurry.
Turn back and lead the support team back to the settlement area.
More than twenty minutes later, the group hurriedly arrived at the north gate, only to be stopped outside.
"The chairman of the committee issued an order that all entrances and exits to the settlement area are temporarily blocked. Unfortunately, until we receive the order to lift the blockade, we have to stay outside for the time being!" The deacon responsible for managing the opening and closing of the city gate stood on the wall.
He looked at the people below with a smile.
Pan Zongchang said angrily: "That's nonsense, why didn't we receive a similar order?"
"Didn't I say that this is an order from the chairman of the committee?"
"Where does the Autonomous Council get the power to block the door alone!?"
"Anyway, this is the order. Stay outside and don't think about rushing through the door, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"You!!" Pan Zongchang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Lin Ze couldn't stand it any longer, shook his head and said, "It's obvious that they've already broken up with each other, but you're still here trying to reason with them."
Pan Zongchang smiled bitterly: "I have no choice. In order to resist the insects and beasts, the four gates of the settlement are made of steel and are indestructible. If they insist on closing the door, we alone will never be able to break it.
."
"Where is the door switch?"
"Ah?" Pan Zongchang was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he still pointed out the location to Lin Ze.
"Get ready, when I open the door, you rush in!"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, a golden-red light emerged from Lin Ze's body, instantly condensing into a pair of blazing armor, and then two cyan winds suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him, faintly forming the shape of wings.
As Qingfeng flapped his wings, Lin Ze suddenly shot up against the sky, rushing towards the wall like a sharp arrow.
The advanced spiritual art ‘Wind Feather’!
Lin Ze has just learned this spiritual technique and is not very proficient yet. He cannot maintain it for a long time. It is not enough for traveling, but it is more than enough for short-term flight and rushing up a giant wall.
The guards on the wall didn't expect that someone would dare to charge up alone, and they were immediately shocked.
"Why are you still standing there? Beat him down!"
The deacon was the first to react and immediately shouted angrily.
All the guards woke up from a dream and attacked one after another. The dense winds, sword light and bloody blades fell head-on like a heavy rain, sweeping towards Lin Ze like a tsunami.
Lin Ze was not afraid at all. He put his left arm in front of his head and flew upwards at high speed against the overwhelming attacks, crashing into the dense attacks like a cannonball.
Immediately, a burst of incessant tinkling sounds erupted. In an instant, Lin Ze suffered at least thirty or forty attacks. However, he only stagnated slightly before he broke through the attack interception. In a flash, he was already
Climbed the wall.
All the guards had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Before they could react, the flaming sword auras in their field of vision suddenly enlarged.
Under the huge wall, Pan Zongchang and others watched in stunned silence as Lin Ze rushed up the wall with great force, followed immediately by bursts of ear-splitting explosions, with faint flames rising into the sky, and shouts of death and screams coming one after another.
After a moment, he trembled violently, turned around quickly and shouted to the people behind him: "Get ready to fight. As soon as the door opens, we will rush in and go directly to the guild headquarters!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
Standing outside the huge wall, you can clearly hear the shouts of death inside gradually moving downwards. Not long after, you arrived behind the gate. More than ten seconds later, you heard a muffled roar and the heavy steel gate slowly opened.
Pan Zongchang immediately became energetic and took the lead in rushing forward, shouting at the same time: "Charge!"
The members of the guild held weapons in hand and ran towards the door. They thought they would encounter fierce resistance after entering. However, when they entered, they were shocked to find that the ground was full of charred corpses, and traces of flames could be seen everywhere.
The guards had turned into birds and beasts and scattered in all directions, fleeing into the distance in panic.
Pan Zongchang grunted and swallowed his saliva, looking at Lin Ze not far away who looked like a reborn god of fire, with no concealed shock in his eyes.
When he heard that Lin Ze had killed Ding Jin, he was still a little unbelievable, but what he saw before him left him with no doubt. Lin Ze's strength had undoubtedly reached a level that was beyond his reach.
"This speed of strength improvement is almost the same as that of a monster!" Pan Zongchang couldn't help but secretly marvel.
"Let's go."
Lin Ze walked over and looked at Pan Zongchang in surprise, wondering what he was doing.
"Oh, oh, okay, let's leave now!"
Pan Zongchang woke up with a start and responded hurriedly, with a hint of respect in his tone unconsciously.
After breaking through the gate, on the way to the guild headquarters, everyone basically encountered no decent interceptions. As soon as the scattered enemies appeared, they were killed by everyone's concentrated fire.
Not long after, Lin Ze and others arrived at the headquarters of the Swordsmith Guild in the core area. When they were still hundreds of meters away from the headquarters, they saw two groups of people confronting each other from a distance.
With a quick glance, Lin Ze quickly had a panoramic view of the situation not far away.
The two sides facing each other were, as expected, the Swordsmiths Guild, and the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce. The latter's number far exceeded the former, almost three times the total number of the former, and their momentum was overwhelming.
On the other hand, the guild's momentum was a bit sluggish, and most people still had expressions of shock and anger on their faces. It was obvious that they did not expect that the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce would suddenly join forces to attack them.
What surprised Lin Ze was that standing at the front of the guild was Peng Xianxi, who was still unconscious before.
"Peng Xianxi? When did he wake up?"
Peng Xianxi's expression was calm, his eyes were filled with divine light, and he could not tell that he was in a coma not long ago.
The sudden intrusion of Lin Ze, Pan Zongchang and his entourage immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. After seeing the faces of the intruders, the guild members gathered at the entrance of their own door could not help but let out bursts of surprise. Looking at the autonomous people on the opposite side,
Many people in the committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce showed expressions of astonishment, apparently not expecting that the guild team, which had been lured away from the settlement, would actually appear at this time.
"President!"
Pan Zongchang quickly came to Peng Xianxi's side and looked at him with surprise and joy. Peng Xianxi's awakening was undoubtedly good and surprising news at this time.
Peng Xianxi patted him on the shoulder, then turned to look at Lin Ze, a smile appeared on his slightly weathered face, and he nodded and said, "Thank you."
Lin Ze understood what he meant and said calmly: "You're welcome, everyone gets what they need."
Su Lin on the side heard the conversation between the two and glanced at them with some confusion.
"It seems that Ding Jin's action failed."
A low and majestic voice suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation and attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Ze followed the sound and his eyes immediately fell on Master Qi and Gao Mingliang in front of the crowd opposite.
