This assassin is upright

Chapter 289 Hermod's Counterattack (asking for monthly tickets!)
With Lu Wen's sudden appearance, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The three of them stared at each other in silence.

Lu Wen looked at Yu Zhun, then at Long Pan on the other side, and couldn't help but mutter something.

"Mad, what are you doing to me again?"

Yu Jun was instantly overjoyed.

I just said it would be great if Lu Wen was here, but I didn’t expect that Lu Wen would be here.

"Help me quickly, this guy is a bit difficult to deal with!" With a low shout, Yu Zhun attacked without hesitation with a pair of daggers in hand.

He had already stolen the opponent's Shanghao Tower, and the remaining system was left to Lu Wen to solve.

"Okay." Lu Wen shrugged.

After a brief assessment of the situation, he was already prepared to take action. He drew out his two swords without hesitation and followed Yu Zhun.

On the other side, Long Pan came to his senses after his initial shock, and a feeling of ecstasy gradually emerged in his heart.

There is no doubt that this guy who suddenly broke in is also a player from the Palace of Gods and Demons, and it is even possible that he is the reinforcement called by Yu Zhun.

And this is definitely a good thing for him.

Every time you kill a player from the Palace of Gods and Demons, you will get an opportunity to gain enlightenment at the [Tianxu Dojo] granted by the owner of the Tianxu Palace!
Thinking of this, Yu Zhun and Lu Wen were not enemies at all in his eyes, but simply walking opportunities for enlightenment.

"Ridiculous!" Long Pan laughed, his aura surging, "One is not my opponent, so how can two be my opponent?"

The moment he finished speaking, he punched Yu Zhun who rushed towards him first.

"I will let you know the huge gap between you and me!"

"boom!!!"

His fists touched the dagger in Yu Zhun's hand, and the terrifying power flowed into Yu Zhun's body along the dagger, instantly causing cracks to appear on the surface of his body, and blood spurted out, dyeing him into a bloody man.

However, facing such a terrifying attack, Yu Zhun had a strange smile on his face. Not only did he not respond, but he actively let his blood flow out. His life was instantly emptied, and he locked his blood.

As his body flew backwards, blood-colored threads burst out from the void and instantly wrapped around Long Pan's body tightly, as if a blood-colored gauze dress was woven on his body.

Secret treasure [bloody gauze].

This is an item that requires the user to sacrifice all of his life and blood to activate, and it has a guaranteed and absolute binding effect.

Among all the secret treasures obtained from Estelle, this is one of the very few that Yu Zhun had not originally intended to use.

But at this moment, he chose to use it without hesitation.

And its effect did not disappoint Yu Zhun.

The moment Long Pan was restrained, Lu Wen, who had closed his eyes, stepped forward and slashed with the two swords in his hands.

"I will grant you final death!"

"ridiculous!"

Even at this moment, Long Pan still had a mocking look on his face. Even though he was unable to move, he did not think that the sudden reinforcements in front of him could break his almost infinite defense.

However, the next moment, Long Pan's mocking expression froze.

As Lu Wen slashed out with two swords in succession, Long Pan's health bar was instantly emptied, accompanied by the sound of a life-saving item shattering.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wen used two more swords to clear his next blood line.

“No…” Long Pan’s expression became terrified. He looked at Lu Wen as if he had seen a ghost, and his voice suddenly rose.

"you can not…"

"Shut up!" Lu Wen responded domineeringly, instantly activating [All Things Are Silence] and then slashing out the last sword.

Long Pan's body shook violently, and the next moment he turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving only a ball of extremely rich black willpower flying towards Lu Wen.

"Not bad, not bad." Satisfied with receiving the power of Long Pan's wish, Lu Wen smiled happily, "It's a small profit."

"It can be considered as making up for some of the consumption in that damn place."

Hearing this, Yu Zhun, who was about to ask Lu Wen how he got here, narrowed his eyes slightly and exclaimed, "You went in too?!"

"Ah?" Lu Wen looked at Yu Zhun, confused.

"Could it be that you also..."

"That should be correct." Yu Zhun nodded slightly, "Have you also entered a new world, where..."

He briefly described his discoveries in that unknown world.

"Hiss..." Lu Wen couldn't help but take a breath, "Although you and I are in different positions and encounter different cities..."

"But you can't gain power after killing someone, and there's that guy called 'Great God', these are basically the same."

Yu Zhun nodded slightly when he heard this.

These similarities are enough to show that they have entered the same unknown world.

The only thing that is a little confusing is, if they really entered the same space, why would the communication props fail?
Putting this doubt in his mind for the time being, Yu Zhun quickly thought of another question.

Before this, he always felt that he was probably the only one who would enter that unknown world.

But now, it has been confirmed that Lu Wen has also entered the same world, so the other three should have done the same.

He had the experience of destroying a secret realm before, and combined with his own guesses, he guessed a way to leave there, but others had never destroyed a secret realm (except for the island secret realm), so it was difficult for them to guess the method.

How should he find a way to remind other teammates?

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun couldn't help but look at Lu Wen beside him.

"How did you get out there?"

"Me?" Lu Wen scratched his head and chuckled, "You may not believe it, but I kicked Dongtu in the ass and then got out."

Yu Zhun: “???”

Seeing Yu Zhun's puzzled expression, Lu Wen told Yu Zhun the whole story with a smile.

After hearing this, Yu Zhun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This guy…

He had the same experience of destroying the secret realm as himself, and had encountered scenery that was exactly the same as the desert secret realm, but he had no association at all. But by chance, he got out successfully.

"Forget it." Yu Zhun shook his head slightly.

Let’s think about how to help the other three teammates leave.
-
"Boom boom boom!!!"

The long stick swept across the surrounding wilderness, smashing everything in sight into pieces. Dongtu's extremely ugly expression finally eased a little.

The second time.

This was the second time that the guy named Lu Wen escaped from his sight.

What’s even more infuriating is that this time the other party actually kicked him in the butt.

Such behavior is tantamount to humiliation in Dongtu's eyes!

"Three times is the limit. Next time we meet, I will grind you into dust." Dongtu muttered with gritted teeth, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Click——"

A shattering sound was heard at this moment. Dongtu's expression froze slightly, and then a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly grabbed a broken life card and looked at the name on it, his face full of surprise and confusion.

Dragon Climbing…

Eliminated?

If he didn't take action, who else could eliminate the opponent? ! Tianxu God Clan?

No, they would not dare to do such a thing even if they had a hundred guts, not to mention that even the strongest members of the Tianxu Divine Clan were definitely no match for Long Pan.

Well, there seems to be only one answer left.

Dongtu's expression darkened.

It’s a player from the Palace of Gods and Demons!
If you think about it carefully, Long Pan was killed after Lu Wen was teleported away from his hands. The timing was really coincidental.

Therefore, Lu Wen is most likely the one who killed Long Pan.

But Lu Wen's strength alone cannot achieve this.

Therefore, there is also a player from the Palace of Gods and Demons present!
Thinking of this, Dongtu's eyes became even more confused.

First, it was confirmed that Yu Zhu was in the Tianxu Dojo, and then Lu Wen was brought out of the Tianxu Dojo. Now it has been confirmed that the third player from the Palace of Gods and Demons is in the Tianxu Holy Realm.

There were clearly only five players from the Palace of Gods and Demons who entered here, a number much smaller than the disciples who entered the Tianxu Palace. Why did he have the illusion that the other party was everywhere?

After staying there for a moment with an uncertain expression, Dongtu headed towards Huanhai City without hesitation.

He wanted to use the power of the Illusionary God Cult to enter the sealed secret realm again!
"Praise the grace of the great God!"

In the most luxurious palace in a city, Hermod was devoutly performing the same worship posture as the other believers around him. His extremely standard posture made it impossible for others to distinguish him from the believers.

After completing the daily routine of worship, Hermod stood solemnly among the crowd, completing one task after another that the believers needed to do.

After realizing that harvesting faith was simply not feasible in this unknown world, Hermod made a decision that went against his ancestors.

If you can't beat it, join.

A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole, and even the most devout and firm faith will often collapse from within, so Hermod plans to understand these believers and then find ways to persuade them to oppose.

He has been trying to do these things over the past week. Although he has not yet figured out how to incite rebellion, his hard work pays off and he has completely penetrated into the inner circle of believers.

With his understanding of faith, he even gained the worship of other believers and was considered a favorite of the great god.

Of course, this did not bring him any faith.

Because in the eyes of these people, everything is still the credit of the great god.

Today is a very important day for the believers of this city. Hermod heard other believers talking about this special day a few days ago, but he still didn't know what to do on this day.

However, he instinctively felt that what was going to happen next might be very important to him.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

A voice resounded at the front of the believers.

A man in a plain white robe looked at the crowd with compassion, "Today, it is time for us to baptize the sinners."

"There are many sinners in this world. They have violated the will of the great god and committed blasphemous acts, thus receiving punishment from the god."

"Their sins require us to baptize and purify them, and this is also our duty as believers of the great god."

As his words fell, the believers below stood up and shouted.

"Baptize sin! Purify sin!"

Hermod also shouted along, but he was vaguely worried in his heart.

Purifying sin, he didn't know that the power of faith could be used in this way.

There's probably something strange about this matter.

Amid passionate shouts, the believers in the temple formed a long queue and walked out of the hall and into the streets and alleys.

Their shouts attracted more and more believers, until almost all the believers in the entire city gathered in the team.

An inexplicable strange feeling became stronger and stronger in Hermod's heart.

Finally, all the believers in a city walked out of the city gate and came to a wasteland outside the city.

They began to sing in unison in strange accents and perform some strange and bizarre dances.

Hermod's brows furrowed instantly.

His intuition told him that this dance must not be imitated, otherwise it might have a great impact on him.

Taking a deep breath, Hermod pretended to blend in with the crowd, doing other actions and howling from time to time.

Fortunately, everyone was immersed in their own fanatical beliefs and did not notice his abnormality at all.

A moment later, a figure quietly disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Hermod, who had always been paying attention to the situation of other believers, cast his eyes over immediately and his pupils shrank slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third figures disappeared one after another.

Watching more and more believers disappear from the world, while other believers were completely unaware and were still immersed in this crazy dance, Hermod felt his heart gradually sinking and a creepy feeling emerged.

With his keen sense of the power of faith, he could feel it clearly.

These people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, but in fact, their last drop of faith had been completely squeezed out, and their spirit had been devoured.

And the source that devours faith is beneath the earth!

All these forces were gathered at an undetectable place underground to reinforce something like a seal.

and many more…

seal?!
Hermod's pupils shrank suddenly.

Yu Zhun’s words in the secret island realm now echoed in his mind.

Each secret realm may have once been a prison used by the master of Tianxu Temple to suppress and seal powerful opponents. However, some of the sealed opponents were relatively weak and disappeared after countless years of erosion. The secret realms they were in then became ordinary secret realms.

But there are still some sealed opponents who have not disappeared.

The secret realm they are in has become a special secret realm like the island secret realm, where the sealers are imprisoned!

At this moment, the power of the seal that Hermod felt made him understand everything instantly.

Great God...

Yes, in this holy world of Tianxu, who else is qualified to be called a great god and worthy of having so many believers believe in him madly?
Thinking of this, the corners of Hermod's mouth twitched strangely.

He actually wanted to steal that girl's girl, which really shows that he is ignorant and fearless.

Fortunately, he hasn't really taken action yet, otherwise if the other party noticed something unusual, it would be effortless to kill him.

but…

Hermod looked down at his feet, his eyes flickering.

If this world is related to the secret realm, should he stop this ceremony and reduce the power of the reinforced seal?
After a brief contemplation, a look of determination flashed in Hermod's eyes.

He is not the kind of person who likes to fuss around. Once he has an idea, he will just do it.

At worst, I can crush the life-saving item and go back to the Palace of Gods and Demons directly.

Having made up his mind, Hermod raised the staff in his hand.

Amid screams, countless believers fell in a pool of blood.

Until he was the only one left on the field, Hermod slowly put down his staff and stared at the ground, as if he could penetrate the ground and sense some kind of sealed power hidden deep underground.

At this moment, as the force reinforcing the seal came to an abrupt halt, it seemed as if something terrible was shaking inside the seal.

Immediately afterwards, a barely detectable crack appeared on the seal and continued to expand.

He smiled.
