Only by suppressing Chairman Xie can we possibly save her!
However.
Just then.
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet glowed, and a huge cage rose up.
"who?!"
At first glance, a vast array of knights and priests clad in armor had already surrounded the area.
It's the Knights Templar!
The group of leaders were all familiar to everyone: Luo Yu, Park Guochang, Ji Bochang, and two other silver-ranked individuals.
"His Holiness the Pope is right, you really are sea monsters!"
Luo Yu wore a cold smile, looking as if his scheme had succeeded.
"Get out of my way, I don't have time to deal with you now."
Before Xu Shi could say anything, Xie Qingyan retorted first.
"Shut up, you witch!"
Another Silver-ranked warrior shouted, "This monster is a scourge to the nation and should be executed!"
Clearly, they had been secretly monitoring Xu Shi and his group's movements, waiting for them to make a ruckus so they could catch them all in one fell swoop, a classic case of trapping them like turtles in a jar.
The original plan was, of course, to take advantage of the chaos to deal with these despicable outsiders, and then use the public opinion to pin the blame on them. After the deed was done, they would be the heroes who had defeated the monsters.
But there was an unexpected bonus! Xie Qingyan actually gained some of the Sea God's power!
That's great, no need to put on the hat anymore, it's already on by itself.
They also knew the principle of capturing the leader first, so they not only sent a large number of knights and priests to trap them with a formation, but also dispatched five of the highest-ranking silver knights. These five were all staunch traditionalists who had long been eager to tear Xu Shi to pieces.
Especially Luo Yu.
"Xu Shi, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day."
The once sunny young man now had a sinister look on his face. "How did you, an outsider, manage to win over Xiaofeng and Xiaoling so easily?! Even Uncle Pan is so fond of you that he's willing to turn against me?!"
"Because I'm stronger than you?"
Xu Shi asked tentatively.
"Shut up!"
Luo Yu roared with a gloomy face, continuing to speak to himself, "The thought of killing you makes my palms itch!"
"Die!"
As the former protagonist, he was not one to talk much. Before he finished speaking, the long sword in his hand was already glowing with black light, carrying the power of devouring as it stabbed towards Xu Shi!
He had long seen through it; Xu Shi himself had little fighting ability and only knew how to talk big from behind, relying entirely on his wife and guards for actual combat.
But now he is short of people around him, and those who remain are all too busy dealing with the crazed Xie Qingyan. Who can he rely on?
After a period of arduous training, Luo Yu's strength has made a qualitative leap, and he is very confident that he can kill this annoying guy in front of him in one move!
only.
Just when the tip of his sword was 0.01 centimeters away from Xu Shi.
Suddenly, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he could no longer move forward even a fraction of an inch.
Looking back, he saw a tentacle pressing against his shoulder, gradually turning from transparent to pitch black.
"Such great ability has been given to a piece of trash like you, what a waste."
Xie Qingyan's icy voice rang out, "Kill him? You think you're worthy?"
The next second, the tentacle suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, exerting tremendous force to pierce through his shoulder blade in an instant!
That wasn't all. The round, hole-like wound spread at a visible speed, engulfing his entire arm in no time!
"ah--"
Luo Yu looked at Xie Qingyan in disbelief, only to be surprised to find that the dark light in the other's eyes had completely disappeared, and his eyes were clearer than anyone else's.
"you……"
He instantly realized that this was not a sign of madness at all.
When he turned back, Xu Shi looked at him as if he were an idiot and smiled helplessly.
"You're right, it's like catching a turtle in a jar."
