Chapter 565 Lord of the Holy City
Li Muhan and Michael did not encounter any obstacles when pushing open the golden door, and no barriers appeared like before. After all, this was Li Muhan's world.
Behind the door was the castle's luxurious and spacious lobby, and the heavy door slowly closed behind them.
The lobby is spacious and luxurious, and every inch of space demonstrates the noble status of the castle owner.
The white marble floor is laid out, reflecting the dazzling light of the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
The walls are inlaid with exquisite reliefs and oil paintings depicting sacred religious scenes. The images of angels and saints are lifelike, as if they will walk out of the paintings at any time.
The two largest and most eye-catching murals are Gabriel and Raphael.
Seeing this scene, Michael was furious.
"To actually compare oneself to someone with unrivaled power is simply blasphemy!"
However, beneath this holy beauty, an imperceptible aura of danger is flowing faintly.
Li Muhan frowned sharply, his intuition telling him that this castle was not as simple as it seemed.
"We'd better be careful."
He lowered his voice and spoke to Michael, with a golden light flashing in his eyes. Then the black bracelet turned into arm armor, and the Demon-Subduing Sword also appeared in his hand.
Michael nodded, his expression became alert, and the next second he held the fiery red cross sword in his hand.
Li Muhan and Michael continued to explore the castle, looking around vigilantly.
They soon discovered that the castle was not static.
Everything inside seemed to be changing all the time. Although everything seemed peaceful and harmonious, the uneasiness in their hearts became more and more intense.
The atmosphere here was too strange, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in secret.
"Young man, don't stay too far away from me. I can take care of you in case we encounter an enemy attack." Michael warned, his tone serious and tense.
"Brother, just take care of yourself."
Li Muhan said with a smile.
The two walked cautiously through the corridor, pushing open one exquisite door after another, searching for clues.
However, both the gorgeous reception room and the magnificent banquet hall were empty.
The thick carpets absorbed the sound of footsteps, adding to the silence of this magnificent castle.
At this moment, a slender figure suddenly flashed out from the corner and rushed towards Li Muhan quickly!
"Sneak attack!"
Li Muhan was shocked and instinctively raised his sword to suppress the demon and assumed a fighting stance.
However, the next second, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and a pair of soft arms tightly embraced his neck.
"Brother, brother! Brother! I found you! Brother!" A clear and pleasant female voice sounded in Li Muhan's ears, the tone was joyful, with a hint of sob.
Li Muhan was stunned. He looked down and saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old hugging him tightly, her cheek pressed against his chest, her tears soaking his clothes.
The girl has long, shiny black hair, skin as white as snow, and a faint fragrance emanating from her body, like the scent of lilies.
The proud breasts were pressed tightly against Li Muhan's chest, causing him to gasp. Even in his inner world, he instinctively wanted to avoid being contaminated by the scent of any other woman.
But the girl's movements were so fast that even Li Muhan couldn't dodge and was directly hugged by her in a bear hug.
But what made Li Muhan feel most strange and surprised was that the girl looked almost exactly like himself, except that the contours and lines of her facial features were relatively softer.
Li Muhan raised his hand hesitantly, wondering whether to push the girl away.
Subject Zero looks the same as herself when she was a child, but she is only eight years old, only eight years old.
But now this girl... she's only eight years old?!
"Who are you?"
Li Muhan asked in confusion, feeling that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't match him with Subject Zero.
The girl shuddered when she heard that, and slowly raised her head, looking at him in disbelief with her big, tear-filled eyes.
That delicate face, like a porcelain doll, was slightly distorted with shock and sadness, and crystal tears slid down her fair cheeks.
Oh shit.
It turns out that old women's clothes are so beautiful?
"Brother...you...don't you remember me?"
The girl asked in a trembling voice, her tone full of hurt and disappointment.
She bit her lips and her eyes quickly turned red, as if she was about to burst into tears in the next second.
Michael quickly warned, "Young man, don't be fooled by appearances. Feel her soul. This is the same person as the frozen girl."
Li Muhan was awakened by Michael's words, and immediately used his own strength to feel the girl hanging on him, and sure enough.
Aside from her appearance, the girl's aura was exactly the same as Subject Zero's.
"...An An?"
Li Muhan did not call her Zero, but called out her name directly. Although it is still not certain whether Subject Zero is Li Chengtian’s daughter Li Lingan, the girl obviously responded to this name.
"...Brother, my name is...An An?"
"Get off me first. You're... uh, grown up now."
Li Muhan smiled awkwardly, but the girl hugged him even tighter.
"No...no, my brother will disappear."
"Don't worry, I won't disappear. I will take you away from here."
"...Leave here...Brother, I, we don't have to leave. We have everything here. We can live here forever. I will always be with you, brother. You can also bring me in. The three of us will be together forever!"
The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, but Li Muhan frowned.
"An An, listen to your brother. This is not the place you should stay. There is a bigger and wider world waiting for you outside."
Michael did not disturb the two of them. He walked to the side, put his hand on the wall, and began to feel the atmosphere of the castle.
"I can only sense Gabriel's presence...where is my other brother hiding?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange breath, and then the walls of the corridor suddenly began to become uneven.
"careful!"
Michael realized something instantly and then shouted at Li Muhan.
A sharp blade flashing with golden light pierced out from the wall almost at the same time, heading straight for Li Muhan and the girl.
The sharp tip of the knife gleams with holy light and exudes a sacred breath.
Li Muhan pulled Li Ling'an behind him at the moment when the blade was about to pierce his body, and then raised his hand to cut off the white sharp blade.
But the next moment, more sharp blades stabbed from all directions.
The fiery red cross sword was swung out at this moment, colliding violently with the sharp blade, making a harsh sound of metal friction.
"Get out of here! Go!"
Michael yelled.
Li Muhan picked up the girl and ran to the other end of the corridor.
Behind him, Michael was doing his best to resist the sharp blades that kept coming out from the wall, buying them time to escape.
"Put me down! Brother! I, I can fight!! I won't allow anyone to hurt you!!"
The girl struggled on Li Muhan's shoulder, and a white sharp blade stabbed at her head. Li Lingan opened her mouth and bit the blade, and then with a snap, she bit the blade emitting holy light into pieces.
"...I'll have to brush your teeth thoroughly when we get out."
Li Muhan carried Li Ling'an on his back while waving the Fu Jiang Zhen Mo.
He did not dare to use too much power. As Elias had said before, if this castle was Li Lingan's inner world, it would be better to avoid causing too much damage to it.
Finally escaping from the corridor, the three of them fought and retreated to the hall.
At this time, the place was no longer quiet. Countless angels holding sharp blades had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for Li Muhan and others to step into the trap.
"demon."
A holy and solemn figure sounded from above.
Li Muhan looked up and saw a six-winged angel floating above the castle hall. He held a scepter in one hand and a thick ancient book in the other.
All the angels seemed to be waiting for his guidance.
"Who are you?"
Li Mu looked at him coldly.
The visitor's face was expressionless, his voice filled with divine authority: "I am the Lord of the Holy City, Raphael, the being closest to Heaven. Demon, you are not worthy to share this divine grace with us."
"You're such a jerk, you're still so arrogant."
Li Muhan raised the knife with one hand and pointed it at Raphael in mid-air.
"In that case, let us begin this trial."
Under Raphael's guidance, all the angels spread their wings, their weapons flashing with golden light, and a great battle was inevitable.
"An An, wait for me, come down first."
"Brother, I, I can fight too! I want to be with you!"
"No, you stay here and protect yourself. I will end this as soon as possible."
Li Muhan didn't want Li Ling'an to participate in this battle. After all, this was still Li Ling'an's world, and he had to wait for an opportunity...
An opportunity that could turn the tide of battle in an instant.
