"Stick to the righteousness in your heart...Do you think I could be corrupted by the current atmosphere in the church?"
Leit Solo looked at the bandits calling out in the distance, and the words he heard were nothing more than "drag the girl over here".
What kind of existence could be speaking through the mouth of the dead, and why would it come to me?
Gods grant life to mortals, protect them while they live in this world, and provide a home for their souls after death. If there were no gods, there would be more dead souls than living people in this world, and terrifying demons would be everywhere.
The Paladin's faith was not shaken at all, but his mood tonight had not been good from the beginning to the end, and it was even worse now.
Looking at the robbers in the distance.
"They are people who have committed countless evil deeds, and their hands are stained with the blood of innocent lives. Compared to the enemies of God, these guys are the evil demons in the world!"
Muttering to himself, Leit picked up the spears dropped by the bandits on the ground and ignored the scimitars on the corpses.
In a javelin-throwing posture, unleash your body's strength.
“Swoosh~” “Swoosh~” “Swoosh~” “Swoosh~”…
In just a few seconds, he threw out six spears, targeting the robbers who were collecting property in the distance. Then the next moment, he exerted force with his feet and rushed out as fast as a horse.
The original traveler's camp, the campfires and the makeshift tents were littered with corpses and bloodstains. Some bandits were searching the corpses, taking nothing, whether it was money or jewelry.
Although the travelers' fire was still burning, it was now emitting sparks because no one had added firewood for a long time.
"The profits from this vote are really limited. Look at these poor fellows, their wallets are empty!"
One of the robbers showed his companion a purse of money he had found on a fairly well-dressed corpse, but when he poured out some of the money, he immediately smiled.
Although there was not much in the purse, there were several shining gold coins.
"Oh! I didn't realize that! Now I..."
“Puff”, “Puff”, “Puff”…
The robber and several of his companions were all pierced through the body by the high-speed flying spears, and were blown away in the direction of the spears due to inertia.
These robbers all have one thing in common: they hold torches.
As soon as the torch fell to the ground, the bandit leader knew that he was in trouble, but he didn't expect the situation to be worse than he imagined.
The cold color of the sword is mixed in the shadows and firelight, and the heat of the spurting blood is mixed in with the coldness of the wind.
“Ah!!!” “My hand!!”
“Puff” “Puff”…
"On the left!! One person!!!"
“I can’t see clearly, I can’t see clearly!!!”
“He’s too fast!!”
"ah!!"
“Puff” “Puff”
“I think I hit him!!!”
…
The scene seemed to fall into chaos in an instant, just like when the bandit group raided the traveler camp just now and the travelers had no ability to fight back, but at this moment the roles seemed to be reversed.
"Kill him!!! He is alone!! Kill him!!! He..."
The bandit leader hid behind the camel with a bow in hand and shouted loudly, but his voice gradually became weaker.
He stared around in a cold sweat. Apart from the faint moans, the sounds of his men had disappeared without him noticing.
There were still two arrows in the quiver, and he missed any of them just now.
At this moment, a hand suddenly pressed on his head, causing the brutal robber to freeze.
The blood on Leyte's hands flowed along his palms to the top of the bandit leader's spine.
"Evildoers, may you look up to the light of our Lord in hell!"
“Puff~”
The long sword pierced the heart of the last robber, which also meant the end of the Paladin's killing tonight. None of the remaining 23 robbers escaped.
However, Leyte did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he held his weapon nervously and carefully guarded the corpses on the ground, as if he was afraid that the corpses would jump up and continue fighting him at the next moment.
Qin Xiaoxia looked at this scene with some amusement, but he had no intention of showing up again. Instead, he kept urging the paladin to leave quickly in his heart.
After being on guard for a few minutes, Leyte seemed to have finally confirmed something and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He returned to the place where he had rescued the two girls, called them out, and escorted them to the city they had been to. At that time, the two girls could also notify the city guards to clean up the mess.
It is not convenient for Leit himself to show up, and he will only leave alone when he is far away from the city gate. After all, this is a sensitive period.
As for the idea of destroying the bandits' lair, forget it. Judging from the fact that the bandits' camels and horses were carrying tents and sleeping supplies, they were nomadic and it was not suitable for him to stay here any longer.
…
Qin Xiaoxia's soul remained in the traveler's camp, and watched the paladin and two women leave on camels and horses beside the corpses scattered all over the ground.
"Huh~ Finally gone!"
He walked up to a "corpse" and looked at him with a smile.
The reason why he was so anxious to get Leit to leave was because Qin Xiaoxia discovered this guy, a man pretending to be dead.
Obviously, all living creatures have individual physiological structures or organs that are different from normal individuals, and this guy has a crooked heart.
The heart of the Ridgetop Man was located in the center of his chest, but this guy's was located on the left side, so that the Paladin's sword did not pierce his heart.
Moreover, he knew some special life-saving techniques, like yoga and some qigong, which allowed him to slow down his breathing and heartbeat to a very inconspicuous level. He actually deceived the enlightened paladin under the cover of his companions who were twitching and groaning on the ground.
Of course, luck is also a big factor. If this guy was beheaded by a sword like some of the bandits, he would still die even if his soul could leave his body.
The robber naturally had no idea that he was being watched by some strange being.
Ten minutes after the Paladin left, the "corpse" trembled and struggled to sit up from the ground.
"All...all dead?"
There were corpses all over the ground, and all the robbers were lying here.
"Uh... Fortunately, the major blood vessels were not severed... No, I have to get out of here quickly! Someone will definitely come to clean up the mess!"
Having said that, he was now dizzy from excessive blood loss. He tried several times to stand up, but ended up kneeling on the ground.
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”
Cold sweat covered his body, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain. He supported himself on the ground with one hand and covered his chest with the other, but blood still seeped slowly from between his fingers, not to mention the cut on his back.
He was now dizzy from the pain and exhausted, and couldn't even treat his wound roughly.
"This time the wound is too severe... I should die..."
Even with this thought in mind, he still tried his best to crawl towards a camel horse.
"Even if you know you are doomed to die, you still want to struggle. This is life!"
A low and emotionless voice suddenly sounded beside the robber, causing his hair to stand on end even though he was already drowsy.
He had seen something different out of the corner of his eye, something that had not been there before.
He turned his head stiffly, and a tall figure shrouded in a black robe appeared beside him with a blurry, particle-like illusion. He could not see the face or even the body structure clearly.
The entire black robe seemed to be constantly fluttering, with waves in a particle state. Overall, it looked like an ordinary ridgetop man was like a child in front of it.
It was terrifying and weird, especially when one was on the verge of death.
“You, you…you are…”
"Are you ready to die?"
The shadow's tone remained calm, and two faint lights appeared and disappeared on his face under the shadow.
"Your destination is hell!"
"I...I...I didn't...I was...I actually..."
The robber temporarily forgot the pain and spoke tremblingly and stutteringly.
The tall black figure crouched down, and the terrifying and strange aura seemed to be extremely cold, which stimulated the robber's body to become numb, and even the wound on his chest bled more.
Hell! Am I going to hell? There really is a hell! What the church preaches is true!
The thing that is more terrifying than death is undoubtedly knowing that you will not have peace after death and will not be able to escape the horrible pain.
"Perhaps... you can make a deal with me."
"Well, can I survive that?"
The shadow's dim glow remained unchanged, but the robber intuitively felt it was getting even colder.
"Hehehehe... Greed is human nature, and so is stupidity! Life and death are part of the law. If you want me to change this, you can't pay enough."
"Mortal, I only give you one chance to choose. Make a deal with me and open your heart. I guarantee that your soul will not fall into hell!"
Letting the robber's soul completely dissipate will indeed prevent him from falling into hell. In this regard, Qin Xiaoxia was not lying to him.
