Chapter 677 Sneak Attack (Thanks to 'GrayFFF' for the reward!)
Although this God of Killing has become famous in the Holy Alliance in recent times, this is the first time that Edward has truly seen the true face of this God of Killing.
To be honest, if you only look at his appearance, the God of Killing in front of you is like a young man from a big family, with handsome looks and extraordinary temperament.
I'm afraid no one would regard him as the killing god who hunted down thousands of orcs alone and massacred the entire Golden Shield Family's base.
However, this seemingly gentle young man is not only the vicious killing god in people's eyes, but also quietly killed nine White Flag Knights of the New Temple and Marshall, who possessed the peak strength of the Black Flag, tonight.
More importantly, he almost single-handedly solved the plan for the new temple tonight and rescued the heirs of various holy cities and Adela.
Moreover, he was wounded and stabbed by a sword while trying to save Adela.
Such an enchanting young man, even Edward thought he could not compare to him when he was young.
Just as Edward was staring at Marshall with complicated eyes and inexplicable amazement in his heart, Gervis had recovered from his previous murderous aura. He leaned over, took off a space ring from Marshall's finger, and put it in his arms.
Then he straightened up, looked at Edward and smiled slightly.
After staring at each other for a moment, Gervis didn't say much. He put the Crimson Moon into the scabbard and prepared to leave.
Now that the matter has been resolved, he must be ready to leave. The black kiwi fruit is running out of time, and it would be dangerous if he stayed here any longer.
When Edward saw that the young killer was about to leave without saying a word, he glanced at the sword wound on his back. Because the fight had stopped, the bleeding from the wound had stopped. Considering the physique of the young killer, it was not a fatal wound.
So Edward thought for a moment and did not stop him. He just said after Gervis turned around: "My Sky City owes you a favor. If you need anything in the future, you can ask me for anything that Sky City can do!"
After all, Edward had never met Gervis before, and didn't know Gervis' true character. He only knew that the young man was decisive and courageous, so he didn't say any other words of thanks and directly made a promise to Gervis.
And such a promise is no small matter. Sky City is the first holy city of the Holy Alliance. What Sky City can do is truly unimaginable.
When Gervis heard Edward's promise, he paused for a moment, but did not say whether he would accept Edward's promise or not.
After a brief pause, Gervis began to walk slowly out of the crowd.
Most of the New Temple members in the field have been killed, and only Natali is still resisting stubbornly under the siege of two Holy City Lords. However, it is obvious that he is just a grasshopper in autumn and will definitely not be able to escape tonight.
As for the monsters that had suddenly gone crazy before, they had calmed down after Gervis took the purple kiwi fruit back to the system mall.
When Gervis walked out of the crowd, most people in the field were looking at him, although everyone already knew that Gervis was the God of Death.
However, because of his action of rescuing all the young descendants, no one from the holy city lords spoke out to stop him from leaving.
Not to mention that this young God of Death is already extremely powerful, and they have also heard Edward's promise. If anyone wants to attack this God of Death at this time, they will have to face Duke Edward.
"Gwei...wait a minute!"
Just as Gervis was about to walk out of the crowd, Adela, who had been standing next to Johnson and staring at Gervis, reacted. Seeing the horrific wound on Gervis's back, she immediately ran towards Gervis.
"Adela, I should leave now! I'll come see you later when I have time. Happy birthday!"
When Gervis heard Adela's slightly tearful words, he couldn't help but stop for a moment, turned around and said to Adela with a smile.
"Can you... don't leave? Go to my manor first and take care of your injuries. With my grandfather here, they will definitely not dare to deal with you!"
When Adela came closer, she saw that his back was soaked with blood. Naturally, she was worried that Gervis would leave like this, so she ignored the gazes of hundreds of people and made a halting plea to Gervis.
"No need, Adela! My injury is not serious! I will write to you when the time comes!"
Seeing Adela's tearful and pitiful appearance, Gervis smiled slightly and said something to Adela in a very subtle tone.
Gervis was very happy that he could save this girl tonight.
To be honest, the reason why Adela had such an experience was because I asked her to help sell medicine.
So when Edward made the promise earlier, Gervis neither agreed nor refused.
If nothing happens in the future, this promise will naturally not be used, but if he really encounters a difficult problem, Gervis will not be stubborn and will ask for help.
"Can……"
Adela wanted to say something but finally stopped and watched Gervis turn around and leave.
"careful!"
"careful!"
"Hulton, you dare!"
But just when everyone thought that the God of Death would leave safely, when Gervis was about to walk out of the crowd, suddenly a figure shining with strong light came towards Gervis like a meteor.
And this figure is Hulton from the Golden Shield family.
When Hulton realized that the young man in front of him was actually the God of Death, resentment immediately arose in his heart.
If it weren't for what happened tonight, after knowing Gervis's identity, perhaps Houston would have found a way to kidnap Gervis and force him to reveal the identity of the mysterious pharmacist.
But Gervis saved many heirs of the Holy City Lords tonight, which was enough to offset what he had done in the past. These Holy City Lords would no longer attack this God of Death as they did before.
Therefore, Hulton decided that he must kill this killer here tonight to avenge his brother and son.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to hunt down this God of Killing again in the future. If this God of Killing is really allowed to grow up, the Golden Shield Family will never have the chance to take revenge.
"Go to hell! Exploding Fire Slash!"
Faced with the exclamations of the crowd and Edward's angry shout, Hulton not only did not stop, but instead increased his speed, wanting to kill the killer with one blow.
While everyone was exclaiming in surprise, Gervis also noticed the sudden change in the situation.
Faced with Hulton, whose strength was much higher than Marshall, Gervis didn't even dare to draw his sword.
In an instant, he raised the Crimson Moon in his hand, along with the scabbard, to block the direction of Hulton's attack.
But Hulton's attack was long-planned, and this explosive fire slash was equivalent to his fatal blow.
Gervis simply used his sword to block, but he couldn't stop his power at all. In the blink of an eye, Houston rushed in front of Gervis with terrifying power.
boom!
There was a loud bang in the field at first, as Gwei blocked Edward's tenacity, but then there was another deafening bang.
In an instant, the figures of Gervis and Hulton were shrouded in smoke and dust.
"Grevith!"
As Adela was closest to Gervis, she was also affected by the aftermath and was blown two or three meters away. However, after falling to the ground, Adela did not stop at all. She stood up immediately and wanted to rush in the direction of Gervis.
"Adela, danger!"
Johnson originally wanted to rush towards Gervis to stop Hulton, but he saw Adela also rushing towards the field. He immediately changed direction, grabbed Adela's wrist and dragged her to the side.
If a fight breaks out there again later, Adela, a junior magician, will definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Hulton, you deserve to die!"
Edward also rushed over at this time. Seeing that Houston's attack not only hit Gervis, but also injured his granddaughter, Edward roared and rushed directly into the smoke.
Ding ding ding!
Then, in the smoke and dust, there was the sound of rapid clashing of swords.
"Edward, although this killer god has done you a favor, he has nothing to do with my Golden Shield family. Moreover, he killed my heir and my brother. What does it have to do with you if I kill him now to avenge him?"
As Edward and Hulton continued to fight, Hulton fought and retreated, then explained loudly to Edward!
Although he did not see the body of the God of Death, his full-strength attack was so powerful that even the Black Flag Knight could not withstand it, so Hulton had already regarded the God of Death as a dead man.
Now that the God of Death has been killed, Hulton naturally does not want to fight a life-and-death battle with Edward, and he is no match for Edward.
“You deserve to die!”
Edward would not listen to Hulton's explanation. With a strong spiritual light on his body and a long sword with fierce sword light, he continued to attack Hulton.
Just a moment ago, he told the God of Death that he could make any promise to him that the City in the Sky could fulfill. In fact, this was just a disguised way of showing everyone his intention to protect the God of Death.
But the next moment, Houston suddenly attacked the killer young man in front of him, and even injured his granddaughter. This showed that he did not take the Sky City seriously at all.
"Duke Edward, are you going to go to war with our Golden Shield Family?"
After all, Houston is one generation weaker than Edward in strength, and only the old duke of the Golden Shield family is a strong man who can be compared with Edward.
In just a moment, under Edward's fierce attack, Houston was already unable to defend himself.
Seeing that Edward was not going to stop, Hulton began to threaten him.
"So what if we start a war! You are not worthy to talk to me about starting a war. If you want to start a war, call your father!"
Edward snorted disdainfully, and the sword in his hand became even sharper.
puff!
Finally, Hulton was so tired of parrying that he slowed down a little. The wrist holding the sword was numb from the shock, and the palm holding the hilt was directly cut by Edward. Two fingers fell to the ground along with the sword.
"Oh, Edward, how dare you hurt me!"
Two of Houston's fingers were chopped off, and the pain immediately made him furious, and he roared at Edward.
"Not only do I want to hurt you, I also want you to pay the price for what you did before!"
Edward's words were cold, and without any pause, he continued to chop at Hulton with his sword.
Wow!
At this moment, the many lords of the Holy City who were watching finally became excited!
"Duke Edward! Stop it!"
If Edward just wanted to teach Hulton a lesson, the other city lords would definitely not say anything.
But now Duke Edward really wants to kill Hulton, and several allies of the Golden Shield Family and the lords of several other top holy cities can no longer sit still.
He immediately rushed over here quickly. If Hulton was really killed by Edward, the Holy Alliance would be in chaos.
when!
Edward didn't care about the words of other holy city lords, and his sword had already slashed towards Houston.
But at this critical moment, a sharp shield suddenly appeared in Houston's hand.
This pointed shield is more than half a person's height, golden in color, and engraved with many ancient and exquisite inscriptions.
When Edward swung his sword, it was blocked by the golden shield.
There was a soft golden light flash above the golden shield, and with the sound of metal collision, Edward's sharp sword disappeared without a trace, and Hulton also saved his life because of the sharp shield.
"Duke Edward, Hulton cannot be killed!"
The city lords who had come finally arrived beside Edward and Houston. Several of them quickly stood between Edward and Houston and tried to persuade them.
"What? Have you forgotten who rescued your offspring so quickly?"
Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for Edward to kill Hulton again, not to mention the obstruction of these city lords.
It was the golden shield that Hulton took out. If Edward didn't use the most powerful means, he would not be able to hurt Hulton.
But if the most powerful means were really used, the entire Leng Feicui Manor would probably be reduced to ruins today.
"Duke Edward, that's not what we meant. It's just that if you really kill Hulton, our Holy Alliance of Humanity will be plunged into civil strife!"
Several city lords were bullied by Edward and their faces turned pale. It was obvious that they knew that they were being ungrateful by doing this.
But they would definitely not agree to let Hulton be killed by Edward.
"Grevith! Are you okay? Gervis!"
As Edward and Houston were fighting, the smoke and dust where Gervis was had dissipated. Adela saw Gervis lying in a pit and immediately broke free from Johnson's grasp on her wrist. She ran to Gervis and hugged his upper body in her arms, with crystal tears falling continuously.
"snort!"
Hearing Adela's urgent cry with a sobbing tone, Edward glared at Hulton and everyone else fiercely, and without any further delay, he quickly went towards Gervis behind.
Arriving beside Gervis, Edward first checked Gervis's breath, and found that Gervis still had this strong sound, and immediately felt relieved.
Without any hesitation, he took out a spiritual fruit from the storage space and put it into Gervis' mouth.
This is a fruit from a holy tree, which contains immense spiritual power. It is very effective for healing wounds or cultivating fighting spirit. It is considered an extremely rare and precious fruit.
"Take him back to the manor! Take his sword with you!"
After feeding the spiritual fruit to Gervis, Edward shouted to the guards around him.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Several guards hurried forward and carefully lifted Gervis up, heading towards the open space in front where the carriages were parked.
"Adela, don't worry. The young killer has an extraordinary physique, so there shouldn't be any problem. Let's go back and let Bedford treat him. He will be fine in a few days!"
Edward supported Adela and walked behind several guards, comforting her in a low voice.
"Yeah, Grandfather!"
Earlier, Adela had seen that Gervis was still alive, and after hearing what her grandfather said, she felt relieved and nodded in response.
