Chapter 681: a.s.sa.s.sination
Fei liked to show off in front of his enemies.
Since the power of the demon beast legion was so strong, and their appearances were so shocking, how could the king not be smug?
Therefore, he didn't hesitate to mock Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand mercilessly.
"This is unexpected…… No one would have expected this. The little Chambord Kingdom pressed me to this degree! Your strength is enough for Chambord to be a dominant force in the region, and you should be proud."
At this moment, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand had to admit that even though he overestimated the Chambord Kingdom by multiple folds, it was still not enough. His plan was destroyed, and he was losing in this situation.
The strength Chambord showcased was enough to make them into a level 5 or a level 6 empire; they couldn't be called an affiliated kingdom anymore.
Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand couldn't believe what he was seeing, and he was stunned to the max.
Right now, no words could describe what was going on in Senxi's mind.
He looked down on the ground and saw the masters on the side of Chambord coordinating with supreme king-level demon beasts. Chambord was in a great advantage, and they were crushing the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]. In just a few minutes, the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were severely injured or killed; they couldn't put up a defense.
What surprised him even more was that the many citizens of Chambord who were standing outside the square somehow disappeared when Chambord was flipping the situation around. In the big Chambord City, except for the people on the square, not a single person could be seen.
"Where did all of those ordinary people go?" he thought, "This is clearly a set-up! The Chambordians planned this in advance!"
Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand suddenly turned ugly as soon as he thought about that; his face even paled.
He suddenly realized that the plan that he came up with carefully had been see through by this young king already. Even though he thought that there were many hidden trump cards, and they were in stealth, it seemed like this young king already predicted them…
No! The better way to put it was that the King of Chambord already knew what was going to happen before the [Dragon Hunt Operation] took place!
This thought flashed in Senxi's mind, and it made his heart race as his body shivered.
The reason that he was liked and valued by Bishop Platini of the Northern Regional Church was that he was great at strategic planning on top of having immerse strength. He was really considerate, and he always kept the entire picture in mind, making him an excellent advisor and strategist.
However, he failed this time! Not only in strength, but he also got crushed in terms of his plans and strategies.
"How did the King of Chambord know all of this? Could it be that there are traitors on the inside of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]?" he thought.
Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was dumbfounded, and he quickly thought through the people who were in the alliance, wanting to identify the person or group who betrayed him.
At this moment, he looked down at the square unintentionally, and his pupils instantly contracted when he saw the battles that were going on.
He wasn't sure when, but the No.2 Mercenary Group in the region, [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], disappeared.
The mercenary group that was only below the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] in the region was hired by him from the Leon Empire, and the masters of that mercenary group were saying that they were going to kill all the Chambordians before the wedding.
However, the members and the group leader who had a gold mask were nowhere to be seen; they didn't put up a fight and somehow escaped.
This discovery made Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand realize something, but it was already too late.
The momentum of tonight's event already left him.
As death wails sounded on the square, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand suddenly raised his head and stared at Fei. He said viciously, "I haven't lost yet! Anyone who isn't on the realm of Sun-Cla.s.s is an ant! The battles on the ground are battles between ants. As long as I defeat you, and the two elders defeat their opponents, this situation would still be back at my control!"
"This is also what I want to tell you." Fei squinted his eyes; this signal that he was about to attack.
"Hahaha! You are just an arrogant kid! When did you advance into Sun-Cla.s.s? How many days have you been a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord? There are differences between Sun-Cla.s.s Lords as well! The dignity of experienced Sun-Cla.s.s Lords can't be challenged by a kid like you!"
After completely ignoring what was happening on the ground, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand instantly unleashed his power.
The short, burned-like stick suddenly shone in his right hand, and it emitted a terrifying sensation. It felt like a G.o.d woke up from his sleep, and this weapon targeted Fei and locked onto him.
"Huh? It is a semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon?" Fei was a bit surprised. As his pupil contracted a little, he instantly created some distance between himself and Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand.
The king sensed a chilling and dangerous sensation from this short stick that was black and looked ordinary a moment ago.
"That is right! This is the most sacred treasure of the Red-Sand Shrine, the [Black Reef Staff], a semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon. I thought that I wouldn't need it for tonight, but……" As he said that, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand suddenly raised the [Black Reef Staff], and a wave of burning silver holy power instantly poured out of it. It lit up the sky, and it looked like there was a sun in the middle of the night.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!
Arrows of light shot toward Fei like raindrops in a storm.
Fei concentrated his energy and didn't dare to underestimate his enemy.
"Crystal wall!" he shouted and pushed his right hand forward. A golden crystal wall instantly appeared in front of him and blocked all the silver arrows. Then, the arrows were bounced back at an even faster speed.
However, by now, Senxi already disappeared from where he was.
A gush of sharp energy struck toward Fei from his right. Not sure when, but Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand already appeared to the right of Fei, and [Black Reef Staff] torn through s.p.a.ce and easily penetrated Fei's body through his back.
One lucky strike?
However, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand didn't look happy. It was because Fei's body that got penetrated suddenly turned into nothing.
What Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand hit was only an afterimage that Fei left since he moved so fast.
Using the same method, Fei already appeared behind Senxi and punched out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of energy storms appeared in the sky and expanded outward.
The two Sun-Cla.s.s Lords dashed around and appeared at different locations at every split second as if they were phantoms. They were attacking each other as tests and tried to see what each other was capable of. In just the blink of an eye, they had already struck each other more than 100 times, and they were evenly matched; neither of them got the upper hand.
After they struck each other one more time, the violent explosive energy created a tear in the s.p.a.ce, showing several black cracks that revealed the void.
Both Fei and Senxi shivered, and they backed off each other.
Fei felt like both of his arms were numb. After all, Senxi was a powerful Sun-Cla.s.s Lord, and he wasn't easy to deal with.
As he unleashed his power one more time and tried to use a different technique, he suddenly detected a sense of danger that he never felt before. All the pores on his body opened, and all his hair stood up.
He was only able to back off for a bit at that split second, and a terrifying dash of cold light flashed by.
A deep wound appeared on his shoulder, and blood instantly gushed out.
At the moment, even his shoulder bones could be seen.
