The Black Knight was struck to the ground by Fang Ritu’s Copper Hammer, creating an unfathomable deep pit. The surrounding ground was shattered, turning into scorched earth, with burn marks and pungent smoke rising. His body lay silently on the scorched earth, scattered pieces of broken equipment around him, two broken swords thrust into the ground, their once vivid glimmer now dulled. In the Black Knight’s eyes, a spark of defiance still flickered deep inside, though his body was completely immobile. His Abyss Demon Armor bore shocking burn marks, the skin beneath it charred and twisted like deadwood, revealing patches of raw flesh and bone, too ghastly to behold. The eyes on his Abyss Demon Armor were bloodshot, darting around anxiously, as streams of black energy flowed towards him. His limbs contorted with every shallow breath, accompanied by violent heaving, as if each breath brought him immense torment. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 The air was thick with the smell of burning and faint blood, inducing a deep sense of suffocation. Fang Ritu knelt on the ground, panting heavily, unable to move a single finger due to exhaustion. The cells inside her body were already beginning to self-cannibalize; she needed sustenance immediately, or else she would fall into eternal slumber. In mid-air, the Star Sage, with eyes deep and dark like brilliant stars, shot Ye Bai a meaningful glance. "He has the same talent as me, doesn’t he?" The Star Sage suddenly asked, noticing President Zhang’s furious glare directed at her, and smiled. "I know the answer now." "So that’s how it is." After saying this, the Star Sage transformed into radiant starlight and vanished. President Zhang’s face was an uncertain mix; what did the Star Sage’s parting words mean? What had she discovered? This cannot be, Ye Bai must leave Jiaying City as soon as possible. If the Star Sage targets him, he might stray into perilous paths. Lines of black energy surged towards the Black Knight, gradually healing his injuries. Even the broken swords were slowly restored, their blades once again sparking with black electricity. The arcs crackled in the air. "Hahaha, Fang Ritu, your stamina is running low now, isn’t it?" The Black Knight’s voice, strained and painful, escaped his lips. "But I am eternally unending." "Once I’m restored, it will be the moment of your demise." "Don’t harbor any hope of rescue." "Your saviors were intercepted long ago." The Black Knight’s words abruptly stopped. A sword, engraved with dragon patterns, traced a perfect arc through the sky, accompanied by a keen piercing sound. This sword emitted a cyan glow, splitting into seven Dragon-slaying Swords imbued with vast Dragon Qi. Each Dragon-slaying Sword radiated a golden light, and empowered by the Ancient Bronze Sword, each one executed a Thousand Dragon Slash. The sword bodies resonated in the wind, faint echoes of dragons roaring could even be heard. Seven streaks of sword light flashed, carving seven dazzling frigid lines through the air like lightning tearing through the dark night, illuminating everything around. When the tips of the Dragon-slaying Swords radiated cold gleams, fiercely piercing towards the eyes on the Abyss Demon Armor. The pupils on the Abyss Demon Armor contracted suddenly, even the Black Knight’s face showed incredulity. How did his weakness get exposed? The seven eyes on the Abyss Demon Armor were the Black Knight’s Achilles’ heel. As long as the seven eyes on the armor were simultaneously struck, the Black Knight would perish. This secret had been kept close to his heart; he had never spoken of it. Relying on his indestructible body forged by the Abyss Demon Armor, the Black Knight could frequently battle beyond his tier. The Black Knight’s eyes filled with terror, but his body had suffered severe injuries, his limbs violently twisted. Now he writhed on the ground like a maggot, but this could not stop the descent of the Dragon-slaying Swords. With unmatched speed, the sword tip pierced into the eyes on the Abyss Demon Armor, a surge of warm black liquid gushed out, a mix of the Black Knight’s blood and the liquid from the eyes on the Abyss Demon Armor. The liquid dripped to the ground with a "plop" sound, creating a shocking pool of blood. The Black Knight’s wails became more heartrending, his body convulsed madly in agony, but all efforts were in vain. White streams of energy emerged from the Black Knight’s body, directly spreading into the air. The Dragon-slaying Sword was extracting the essence of the Abyss Demon Armor, converting it into its own power. From afar, it seemed like an Abyssal Demon Dragon had seven golden Dragon-slaying Swords inserted into its body. The surface of the Abyss Demon Armor instantly dulled significantly, the Black Knight sensed his life ebbing away. He was facing imminent death~ Suddenly, a memory surfaced in his mind, one that had been sealed away. Once upon a time, he was a living human, with a happy family and harmonious life. Because of a well-orchestrated conspiracy, his wife and daughter were burned alive, offered as sacrifices to the Demon God. The townsfolk were a group of cultists, they targeted tourists who came to the town. Offering them as sacrifices to the Demon God, he watched his wife and daughter being burned alive. He fell into a deep despair. A mocking voice echoed in the Black Knight’s mind. "I beg you, whoever you are, be it angel or demon, I want power, I want the power of revenge." The pupils of the Black Knight were filled with despair, his voice hoarse from long hours of shouting, emitting a sound like sawing wood. "Burn him, burn him." The cultists around raised their torches, chanting slogans, and hurled the torches toward him. The torches landed on the straw, the flames licking his body, but he felt no pain at all. His heart was too filled with despair, too pained, at this moment, the Black Knight only wanted to join his wife and daughter in the underworld. "Oh, pitiful soul, a soul once holy and noble, now defiled by despairing emotions." "I grant you Abyss Demon Armor, hoping you can fight well for me, from now on, your name will be Black Knight." "I need you to assist me well." "Let the beautiful memories be sealed away completely, from now on you shall only possess despair." Amidst the flames, a human clad in Abyss Demon Armor walked down step by step, his eyes filled with hatred. Overnight, the entire town was destroyed, blood covering the ground. The world lost a kind soul, but gained a notorious Black Knight. In retrospect, it was all a conspiracy. It was all a scheme by the Blood Saint to control him. He was the enemy who killed his wife and daughter, and yet he had guarded him for so long. Tears of regret flowed from the Black Knight’s eyes, and his body completely turned into white bones. The Black Knight under the Blood Saint of the Resurrection Association, fell with endless regret. By the Blood Pool of the Resurrection Association. One of the eyes of the Blood Saint suddenly shed a black tear. He clutched his eye tightly. In his other eye appeared a frenzy. "The Black Knight has fallen." "Ye Bai, I am irreconcilable with you!!!" The demise of the Black Knight was equal to having a crucial arm severed, making the Blood Saint, already at a disadvantage in the Resurrection Association, even more passive. Originally about to break through Tier Five, the Blood Saint now dared not act recklessly. According to the rules of the Resurrection Association, once the Blood Saint breaks through Tier Five, the battle for the Saint will officially commence. Originally, while the Black Knight was present, the Blood Saint could still contend. Now the Blood Saint could only lie low like a turtle for a while. Otherwise, once he breaks through Tier Five, it will be his time of demise. Fang Ritu couldn’t hold on any longer, she released the Heavy Hammer, letting it drop to the ground. Before losing consciousness, she saw a Sunflower appear in front of her eyes. So fragrant, so fragrant. In the midst of fainting, Fang Ritu felt a sweet liquid pour into her mouth. The once restless cells gradually calmed down under the soothing of the nectar. In the Jiaying City Pet Beast Union office. President Zhang looked gravely at Ye Bai: "Ye Bai, this time, you must leave Yandong Province." "Proceed to the Imperial Capital ahead of time." "You’ve been targeted by a Star Sage of the Evangelical Association." "I can’t tell you the specific reason, but you can no longer stay at Shen Mountain Middle School." "In this hunting operation by the Evangelical Association, the Undead faction suffered heavy losses, their leader, the Necromancer, will not spare you." "Although I don’t know why he didn’t participate in this event, you’ve already made it onto their blacklist." "They can no longer protect you." "Staying at Shen Mountain Middle School is not good for you, or for Jiaying City." "Just as it happens, the Young Qilin Cup in Flame Country starts in the Imperial Capital, you should go to the Imperial Capital." "Remember, do not approach the Star Sage, this is the advice of your Senior Uncle to you." "Once you commit an act harmful to Flame Country, don’t blame Senior Uncle for cleaning up the family himself." At this moment, Ye Bai had a question: "In that case, how can I take the college entrance exam?" President Zhang laughed: "With your master and grandmaster here, are you worried you can’t take the college entrance exam?" "Don’t worry, I will provide a recommendation letter here." "Moreover, the college entrance exam for Pet Beast Masters is different from that of ordinary people." "The location for your exam will not be in Yandong Province, just wait for notification." "By the way, your rewards for previously saving everyone have not been realized, and this time you saved Fang Ritu again; you can choose two treasures from the treasure vault of the Provincial City Union in Yandong Province."
