The blade of the black knight's sword passed directly past everyone, but was blocked by a level 3 warrior.
Several level 0 or level 1 warrior guards had half of their bodies cut off in an instant.
The Black Knight itself is a ghost species, and it wears solid black armor, which leads to this weird and difficult situation.
Unless your strength really completely suppresses it, the battle will be very difficult.
After Wang Shu and Gu Beichen heard Xu Le's shout, they glanced at Gu Jianuo subconsciously.
No matter what, as night watchmen, they always have to complete their most basic tasks.
If Gu Jianuo is unwilling to leave at this time, as night watchmen on the mission, they cannot leave.
Wang Shu and Gu Beichen shook their heads slightly:
"Xu Le, you are no longer a night watchman. There is no problem in leaving now, but we are different and have responsibilities."
Seeing that Gu Beichen and Wang Shu were unwilling to leave, Xu Le felt helpless and could only persuade Gu Jianuo:
"Miss Gu! Let's go. If we continue to stay here, we will only become weird targets and then be crushed to death by them."
Gu Jianuo also frowned, but she did not agree to Xu Le, and just stared at the Black Knight and the Sleepless Warrior.
Seems still hesitating.
What does she want to prove, to prove herself? Or perhaps to prove the power of the light.
Xu Le couldn't see clearly, and even Gu Jianuo couldn't explain clearly.
Anjie on the side had already rushed towards the black knight, and her body immediately erupted with a large number of golden branches, wrapping around the black knight's body.
But her strength is only level 2. Even after being strengthened by the Light, her physical strength is only level 2.
Coupled with the effect of the Golden Light Tree, at this time, she can only compete with level 3 ordinary monsters.
Facing the level 4 ghost species, the Polluter Black Knight, Anjie was completely inadequate.
"Yeah!~"
She used her branch to grab a sword from the warrior on the side.
The golden branches wrapped around the sword and suddenly stabbed at the Black Knight's mask.
Poof!
Golden-white light burst out from Anjie's body, and her power seemed to really hurt the Black Knight's body.
Seeing this result, Gu Jianuo's frown finally relaxed:
"Yes, warriors with light power can definitely do it, Xu Le, we haven't lost yet."
If it was normal, Xu Le would have followed her words.
But what is the situation now? Black tide, weird and endless black tide.
The Tribulation of the Red Moon.
To explain it literally, it can even be said to be a disaster that Red Moon is afraid of.
What do you, a level 3 alchemist, do here?
Xu Le knew that his original plan was to start when the red moon was about to end, or when everyone fell into a deadly battle.
But the situation changed, and he had to take Gu Jianuo away in advance!
Otherwise, Wang Shu and the others will all die!
The first thing to do is to anger her.
Xu Le took a deep breath and suddenly said to Gu Jianuo:
"Are you confused by Alchemy and Demon? Do you think we are facing only the Black Knight?
The Black Knight is just the first wave of level 4 weird attacks. If you are not hopelessly stupid, come with me now, immediately, immediately."
Gu Jianuo was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Le to talk to her like this.
And it was in such a reprimanding tone...
"Xu Le, do you know who you are talking to?"
"I'm talking to you, Gu Jianuo, your mind is really not clear. The short-term power has blinded your mind.
Do you really think that just because you have mastered some ancient technology, you are great?
Then have you ever thought about how, if ancient technology was really amazing, how did the first, second and third eras perish?"
Xu Le's words made Gu Jianuo hesitate.
Yes, if ancient technology could really change everything, then the first few eras would not have died out.
But just after this moment of hesitation, the battle situation in front of him changed again.
Clang!
The Black Knight cut off half of Anjie's body with one sword stroke. The level 4 polluter is an unrivaled power in front of Anjie.
But Anjie did not die because half of her body was cut off.
Her limbs were connected by the branches of the golden tree, and she endured the severe pain and continued to struggle with the black knight.
But the Black Knight didn't tolerate her at this time. He pinched Anjie's head with his armored palm and tore off the golden branch on his body.
Then, the black knight's sword stabbed into Anjie's body one after another.
Puff! Puff!
Gu Jianuo knew that if he didn't take action at this time, they might not even be able to deal with the Black Knight.
She couldn't care less about her injuries.
Among the people present, if there was anyone who could kill the Black Knight head-on, it would undoubtedly be her.
Ahem! Gu Jianuo coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and used the technique forcefully.
"Spell - Corrosion and Refining."
After a burst of psychic energy, a red circle appeared under the feet of Anjie and the Black Knight.
The power in the red circle spread to the Black Knight and Anjie.
The black knight's armor is gradually covered with red marks. These red marks are actually the rust of the armor.
This powerful armor, corroded by Gu Jianuo's magic, finally could no longer hold up.
But Anjie's situation was even more tragic. The red color corroded not only her armor, but the reflection on her body completely corrupted her tissue.
Anjie looked at Gu Jianuo desperately, feeling like a child looking at his mother.
Gu Jianuo felt this emotion, but she didn't look at it, just turned her head helplessly.
After Gu Jianuo's technique, Wang Shu and Gu Beichen also found an opportunity.
"Brother Shu!"
"coming!"
Wang Shu struck the black knight's helmet with a jumping chop, and the huge force shattered its already corroded armor.
The Black Knight's body is like a black mist.
After losing his armor, he suddenly grabbed Wang Shu, but Wang Shu dodged him.
Gu Beichen has also prepared the technique.
"Pyroblast!"
boom!
Under this blow, the black knight without armor protection was immediately engulfed in blazing flames and explosions, and was finally killed.
The Night Watch Team 2 on the other side also assisted Ruan Di in killing the Living Corpse Dragon and the Sleepless Warrior.
After killing more than a dozen guards and one night watchman, this wave of high-level weird attacks was blocked.
Under the red moon, weirdness is still charging.
However, the situation seems to have changed at this time.
Some monsters comparable to or even more powerful than the zombie dragon flew into the sky and began to move towards the central area of the lighthouse.
They directly passed through the defense of the city wall, and it seemed that the tall tower in the center of the lighthouse was their final target.
Or perhaps, the tower is where the weirdos die.
The short but brutal battle finally ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, under the impact of low-level weirdness, the soldiers did not dare to slow down their firepower.
When Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le, she found that Xu Le was also looking at her.
"Xu Le, you already knew this?"
Xu Le's expression was calm and in an ethereal state, he began to think about what he should do next.
The provocation has worked. The next step is to make Gujiano lose her original consciousness and let her make new judgments and changes.
This change will become a change in destiny.
"Gujiano, haven't you ever thought about why Weird attacked the lighthouse during the Kuroshio?
The golden tree people have the power of light, which comes from the lighthouse, and during the dark tide, the lighthouse is like all weird beacons.
Therefore, those who use the guidance of light will surely die."
Xu Le's words made Gu Jianuo fall into silence again.
She looked at the towering tower, her eyes still unwilling:
"All this is for the rise of Xiacheng District."
"Rise? Gu Jianuo, don't beautify yourself too much. Do you still remember the way that little girl looked at you before she died?
If you really cared about the feeling of Xiacheng District, you wouldn't add anything of your own.
You...have selfish motives."
I don’t know whether it was because Xu Le mentioned something that hurt me, or because of my own obsession.
Gu Jianuo suddenly raised his head and suddenly roared at Ruan Di;
"Ruan Di!"
"I am here."
"Shut him up."
"yes."
Ruan Di rushed directly towards Xu Le. It was obvious that after he transformed into a golden tree, his ideology was connected to Gu Jianuo.
If it weren't for the Kuroshio, this method would be quite outrageous.
But at this time, Xu Le was not afraid at all. Instead, he said like a reminder:
"Are you angry from shame? If you want me to shut up, why don't you use a puppet?"
Gu Jianuo gritted her teeth secretly and directly used the divination puppet technique. She wanted to give Xu Le, a disobedient subordinate, some color.
"Kneel down."
Xu Le raised his head slightly and looked at her expressionlessly.
The situation Gu Jiano imagined of Xu Le kneeling in front of her and surrendering did not appear.
Of course, Xu Le didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
"Then what?"
Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le in disbelief, how could it be possible? How could the soul control of the fortune-telling doll be ineffective?
"You hid the doll? I tell you that it is in vain. Unless the doll is destroyed, the doll can be effective anywhere."
Xu Le nodded silently again.
"I know, so, what next?"
For some reason, Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le and suddenly had the illusion that he was very tall.
It's not just the height, but the indifference, and the feeling that she can't control.
"You destroyed the doll? How is that possible? You would die if you did."
"Every warlock's ability is powerful. I always firmly believe that Miss Gujiano is also powerful in my perception.
Therefore, I will use all my preparation, all my strength, all my knowledge, and my complete thinking to deal with you.
Hack your abilities, hack your thoughts, and... hack your puppet technique."
When he heard that Xu Le could break the puppet technique, even the determined Gu Jianuo couldn't help but feel dazed.
The technique of controlling dolls has actually... been bothering her for 14 years.
From the moment she handed her doll to Xiong Zemo 14 years ago, she completely lost her freedom, faith, and everything.
If that kind of thing could be easily escaped, she would have escaped long ago.
Why wait until now, when things can no longer be maintained with Xiong Zemo.
She looked at Xu Le with a slightly hopeful look.
"How did you crack it?"
Seeing the distracted Gu Jianuo, Xu Le knew that this might be his fleeting opportunity in the thread of fate.
He took out a card from his pocket and threw it to Gujiano.
"Everyone has his own destiny. When a warlock takes control of his own destiny, some things can change."
Gu Jianuo subconsciously caught this Guyin Duo Destiny card.
"What do you mean? Is this your last struggle?"
Although her heart was very shaken, her will was not so easily yielded.
Ruan Di on the side took another step closer, and the branches of the golden tree had extended to Xu Le's side.
Gu Beichen and Wang Shu had already clenched their weapons, as if an internal conflict was about to break out at this moment.
But Xu Le was not moved at all. He was still indifferent and lofty.
It's like being a bystander from a different perspective.
"Gu Jianuo, I am a Red Moon Warlock. This is a divination that I have done my best for you. Don't you want to see it?"
Gu Jianuo was silent for a while, and finally turned over the card in his hand!
[Black Card-Puppet]
A puppet controlled by threads, showing a mechanized smile.
Positive: control, mastery, manipulated destiny.
Opposite side: everything that is false.
"Marionette? Are you trying to be sarcastic? Or are you implying?"
Of course Gu Jianuo has studied the Red Moon Warlock, otherwise, she would not be able to change the divination results.
Even using techniques such as countering the fortune-telling doll.
For the card of puppet, Gu Jianuo only felt disgust in his heart.
"It's neither a sarcasm nor a hint, Gu Jianuo, this card is a revelation I made for you and an arrangement of fate. Take a good look at it."
Gu Jianuo frowned slightly. Xu Le's words were a bit baffling. Looking at a card?
She is not a Red Moon Warlock, so what is she looking at? How to look at it?
At this moment, Xu Le suddenly pointed at her, and her warlock instinct made her subconsciously want to avoid this ordinary finger.
But her body seemed to be trapped by the card in front of her, unable to move at all.
The sense of destiny actually passed through Xu Le's conscious world and dragged Gu Jianuo into it.
…
The earth became empty and all the people disappeared.
Apart from Hongyue, she and Xu Le were the only ones left in this world.
"What did you do to me? Where is this place?" Gu Jianuo frowned.
"This is the established world of destiny, where the thread of destiny exists."
Xu Le stood calmly in front of Gu Jianuo and said calmly.
"The world of destiny? Since destiny is determined, what's the point of knowing it?"
Xu Le turned his back to the red moon, and the light of the full moon illuminated his body, giving him an extra layer of red holiness.
In this world of destiny, Xu Le's body slowly floated up.
When Gu Jianuo looked at Xu Le from an upward perspective, that king-like feeling appeared on Xu Le.
Gu Jianuo subconsciously thought of a title.
Is Xu Le the person who can control his destiny?
Xu Le slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his fingers slightly, and a thin silver thread gradually appeared in his hand.
"The established destiny forms the threads of destiny. When you can hold the threads of your own destiny, you also have the possibility to change your destiny.
This is a real thread of destiny, do you...want to try it?"
Gu Jianuo looked at the silver thread and stretched out his hand while his body trembled slightly.
The warlock's intuition told her not to touch Xu Le's thread.
But the failure of the potion, the confusion about the future, and the desire for destiny in her heart made her completely suppress the reason that belonged to the warlock.
In the end, Gu Jianuo reached out his hand towards the thread of fate.
Buzz!
A strong consciousness rushed into Gujiano's mind.
This consciousness destroyed all her original mental energy. At this moment, even Xu Le in front of her disappeared.
She stood alone under the red moon.
Facing the endless black tide and weirdness, only despair, helplessness, and fear are left.
She wanted to move her body, but found that her body was entangled with silk threads and she could not move at all.
Then, like a puppet, she began to be pulled by these threads, hung in mid-air, controlled by her body, and turned into a puppet.
Each of these threads carries a special symbol.
Although she had never seen these symbols before, she seemed to understand their meaning.
Freedom, power, dignity, knowledge.
These threads that controlled her destiny kept pulling her, and in the process, they deprived her of the power to resist.
Let her only become a puppet succumbing to fate.
As the strange black tide draws closer and closer, Gu Jiano is completely unwilling to accept his fate and enters a state of madness.
"I do not believe!"
Her body surged, her bones began to mutate, metal wrapped her arms, and her sharp claws gradually extended.
After turning on her demon form, she bit into the threads of fate that bound her.
The solid destiny is almost unshakable. Gujiano broke his own teeth and broke his claws.
But she still didn't give up her resistance. She didn't believe that her fate would be like this, and she didn't believe that she would die here.
"I don't believe it!~"
The demon spit out a stream of red rotten liquid from his mouth.
These liquids gradually corroded the threads. Gu Jianuo pulled with all her strength, and she finally tore the threads off one by one.
She knelt on one knee like a trapped animal, looked at the strange tide close at hand, and let out a signature roar:
"Kakakaka!~"
…
"Did you see it?"
Xu Le's voice rang in Gu Jianuo's ears, breaking her away from her fate.
At this time, they still exist in the first level world of destiny, which is what Xu Le calls a world with a determined destiny.
After confirming that he was free from the feeling of being in control of his destiny, Gu Jianuo quickly looked at the thread in his hand.
She discovered that the thread had been broken!
Xu Le smiled slightly.
"It seems that you have chosen a path that goes against fate and have the power to resist it.
This road is not easy to walk, have you... thought about it?"
Gu Jianuo squinted at Xu Le and did not answer Xu Le's question clearly.
"snort!"
The world of destiny was shattered, and Gu Jianuo and Xu Le returned to reality.
The two of them negotiated for a long time in the world of destiny.
But in reality, only a few seconds pass.
To Gu Beichen and Wang Shu, it looked like Gu Jianuo held the [Black Card - Puppet] and remained silent for a few seconds.
Under everyone's gaze, Gu Jianuo first looked at Ruan Di's golden trees.
After hesitating for a few seconds.
Finally, she looked at Xu Le in front of her and said:
