Chapter 613
Chapter 613
"How does it feel to revisit the old place?" Bai E's mouth corners slightly raised, looking at Wan Di with a hint of ridicule.
"Not here, I live in the inner city." Wan Di shook his head slightly, without much expression on his face.
"Haha...you are worthy of being the crown prince of Xuanfeng." Bai E chuckled.
"There, walk out of that door and you'll reach the Acropolis." Wan Di raised his hand and pointed his finger at an arch not far away, his expression calm.
Everyone walked quickly towards the door, but as soon as they took a step out, a broken bridge appeared before them, blocking their way.
The stone slabs of the bridge were broken into pieces, with jagged breaks, as if they had been torn apart by a tremendous force.
"It seems that it's not just the enemies that are hindering us. This bridge has been in disrepair for a long time, and the craftsmanship of Xuanfeng City is also unreliable at times?" Bai'e frowned slightly and turned to look at Wan Di.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the Outer City was built by criminals."
"Oh, no wonder you are so fragile. Maybe these people are taking revenge on you." Bai E sighed helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face, as if he was very troubled by the broken bridge.
"It doesn't matter. It's never shameful to resist here, no matter if it's an enemy or a death row prisoner." Wan Di said nonchalantly.
"However, now it has stopped the people who wanted to kill Nicardoli. At times like this, we should miss the power of Teacher Tibao." Bai'e spread his hands, a helpless look on his face.
"What a coincidence, the expert is right here." Xing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of confidence, and then took a confident step forward.
"Oh? Teacher Tibao taught you? Apart from anything else, performing miracles depends a lot on talent. Without the resonance of a priest, an ordinary person would fall into a coma after reciting two prayers."
"Since you've volunteered, please show me your skills." Bai'e moved aside, a hint of curiosity on his face, leaving Xing with enough space to display his skills.
Xing turned his head and glanced at Lin Yu, who nodded slightly, his eyes full of encouragement.
After getting the response, Xing no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and pointed his palm at the broken bridge.
She closed her eyes, chanted a prayer silently, and a soft light surrounded her.
As the light flickered, a beam of energy flew out from Xing's hand, like a stream of agile water, quickly wrapping around the broken stone bridge.
In the blink of an eye, the cracks in the stone bridge began to heal slowly, and the broken stone slabs were pieced together again. Soon, a complete stone bridge appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Amazing! Really skilled." Bai E exclaimed in surprise, his eyes full of admiration. After all, he was not there when the broken stone pillar was repaired before. Now that he witnessed Xing's ability with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
However, just as everyone stepped onto the stone bridge, there was a violent vibration, and the stone bridge quickly returned to its broken state.
Everyone nearly slipped and fell, but they all steadied themselves, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
"It's broken again... It seems that the power of the Titans can't maintain the stability of the bridge." Bai'e's face was full of regret. He shook his head helplessly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
The crowd continued to move forward and soon arrived at the big door on the steps.
Just as they approached, the door suddenly opened slowly with a dull sound.
"Look, the door is open!" said Bai'e.
"What a genius! No one would have noticed if you hadn't told them." Wan Di rolled his eyes, his tone full of disgust, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
When everyone walked through the gate, the scene before them made them hold their breath.
In the air not far away, there was a huge golden sword hanging. The sword body was shining with bright light. It was about fifty meters high, as if it was a star falling from the sky, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
“Even though the world is broken, the Blade of Scourge still hangs over the heads of the people.”
"It's really spectacular..." Bai'e exclaimed.
"You haven't seen it at its most magnificent. In the past, Nicardoli used that giant sword to destroy Aigle's heavenly kingdom and one city-state after another."
"It is not only a weapon, but also the faith of the Xuanfeng people. The souls of those who sacrificed heroically on the battlefield will temper the blade in Nicardoli's hand and become part of the power of the God King."
"This is the Titan's conquest. Nicardoly, his followers, and the people who believe in "Dissension" are invincible and victorious. Even if they die, they will embrace eternal glory." Wan Di explained.
"Isn't that a bit exaggerated? I can remember three defeats of Xuanfeng City in the Golden War." Bai E frowned.
"It's not shameful to be defeated by conspiracy and vicious schemes. Those who should be ashamed of it are the weak and despicable people." Wan Di narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of anger in his eyes, and his tone was full of disdain.
"That's right, 'It is better to die in battle than to return with honor'. The people of Xuanfeng are straightforward and spend their entire lives on the battlefield. No wonder the Titan of Zagreus's Trickery loves to play tricks on you the most." Bai'e nodded slightly, a wry smile on his face, his eyes revealing a hint of sympathy for the people of Xuanfeng.
"But these are all things of the past. Guess what I'm thinking, Wandi?" Bai'e looked at Wandi with a smile on his face.
"It's probably not a good thing, to put it simply." There was a hint of vigilance in Wan Di's eyes and a hint of impatience in his tone, as if he knew Bai E's thoughts very well.
"This is not just an expedition, it's also a battle of victory. Now that we're here, why don't we have a hearty fight?"
"You and I reenacted the original "Hanging Blade Festival" one by one."
"Let me see the most grand fighting competition in Xuanfeng City, and add a layer of glory to the current expedition, and see who can kill more crazy followers?" Bai'e's voice became more and more excited, as if he couldn't wait to start this competition.
"What's the bet?" Wan Di frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons of this challenge.
"The final blow to Nicadori."
"Interesting. I accept your challenge."
"What about us? Become referees?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"I know him. This guy only likes to fight alone. There are two paths ahead. Just follow me."
"There's no racing, only the number of spoils. The counting depends entirely on one's own conscience. Don't worry, I won't count the enemies they kill as my own." Bai'e explained to Wan Di.
"It doesn't matter. What if we count the three of them?"
"You know nothing about this place, so I'll let you take ten steps first." Wan Di raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of pride, and his tone was full of confidence.
"Haha, I'm completely underestimated, but I won't be humble! Everyone, let's go!" Bai E laughed loudly, an excited smile on his face and his eyes full of fighting spirit. Then he led Lin Yu, San Yueqi and Xing forward.
