Chapter 184 Fierce Confrontation
Twenty-six Holy Knights.

It is the name of the hidden Christian underground church in Kyushu. It commemorates the martyrdom incident a hundred years ago when the imperial court issued a ban on Christians and captured 26 faithful believers in Nagasaki. They were unable to convert and were subsequently executed.

Shan Zang's true identity is indeed a member of the Twenty-Six Holy Knights.

At the same time, several people present seemed to be shocked by the news.

There was a moment of silence as if time stood still, but this silence did not last forever.

Suddenly, a voice broke the calm.

"You must be the Hidden Kirishidan, the undercover agent hidden in Kurama-dera Temple, Master Zenzo."

Baijie continued to ask: "Is that so?"

In fact, he had such an association because Baijie knew in the main storyline of the game that there was a traitor among the Twelve Guardians of the Saints. Just like the famous saying goes, "The collapse of a castle is not due to external factors, but will inevitably be caused by internal factors." The reason for the fall of Kyoto must be that there was an internal traitor who betrayed the Twelve Guardians of the Saints, causing a strategic misjudgment and giving the Hachifukukai an opportunity to take advantage of.

"From this point of view, the 26 Holy Knights of Kyushu are worthy of suspicion..."

The fragments in his mind came together like pieces of a puzzle.

"At this point, there's nothing to hide."

Shan Zang's lips, which were tightly closed in a straight line, suddenly tilted slightly.

"Yes, I was originally a Hidden Kirishidan. I hid in Kurama-dera Temple for the greater good. However, becoming a disciple of the Fist Saint and becoming one of the Twelve Guardians of the Saint was an accident."

"Master Zenzo, are you planning to rebel against the imperial court together with that knight order?"

Ye Ming asked again.

She found it hard to believe that this monk, who seemed to have such a strong sense of justice, would intend to rebel against the imperial court.

"I don't have such an idea."

Zenzo shook his head.

"Even if we gather the strength of all the followers and believers of the Hidden Kirishitan on Kyushu Island and intend to confront the Yamato court, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg. Such behavior is unrealistic..."

——Surprisingly, this guy is quite rational.

"However, if we can contact external forces, such as the powerful force on the European continent that leads the European nations in their fight against the demons of Hell's Gate and Abaddon's Pit, that is, the support of the Papacy, we should be able to overwhelmingly destroy the Yamato, right?"

When Zenzo said this, Yeming and Ayaka's faces changed drastically.

This is not empty talk.

After hundreds of years of fierce fighting against the demonic forces in hell, the European countries have entered another level. Whether in terms of national scale and power, or the gradient of strong people they possess, they are beyond the norm.

Because of the long years of war, that continent has gathered a huge fighting force by using alchemy and the "Secret Law of Heaven" controlled by the Church.

The Council of Saints, the thirteen chosen ones of heaven who were born from the flesh and blood of saints, and in addition, the Knights of the Holy Church who guard the City of Black Angels. Terrifying strongmen have been born throughout the ages.

In addition, there are many rare and powerful people on that continent, such as Kutuzov, who is known as the "One-eyed God of War", the seventh-generation descendant of the Saint, the Sword Saint Dion, and Admiral Nelson who won the Battle of Trafalgar against the devil. They are all super-class strongmen with reputations in various countries.

Of course, if we can really get the support of the Holy City of the Vatican or even the European powers, it is not impossible to destroy this island regime.

"Of course, considering the complexity of the war on the European continent, this is just wishful thinking. The armies of European countries simply cannot spare the energy to resolve the affairs of a small island nation in the Far East. Ultimately, this idea is just empty talk."

Zenzo murmured, shaking his head.

"Furthermore, even if we receive support from foreign powers, it will only make us believers be regarded as evil traitors. This idea is almost meaningless and has no meaning."

He continued calmly, "We, the Inkishitan, simply hope that the imperial court will stop infringing upon our fellow Christians and allow self-government in Kyushu."

"The idea that this would still lead to civil unrest is simply not plausible."

Baijie quickly interrupted Shanzang.

"If we demand autonomy from the imperial court and trigger a new war, almost all of the Yamato people will be filled with hatred. I don't think such an idea will be accepted by the people... Also, these matters have nothing to do with us. Master Washizu's relics cannot be handed over to you."

Furthermore, he knew deep down that while Zenzo might be a good man, there was a dark and sinister force hidden behind the Twenty-Six Holy Knights, a group controlled by demon-worshiping angels who secretly worshipped Satan and the devil.

"Zenzo must be a true believer... He is completely unaware of the mastermind behind the Twenty-Six Holy Knights and acts solely to achieve his own ideals... However, in the final analysis, he was simply deceived and exploited."

"is it?"

Zenzo sighed deeply.

"Then it seems I can only use tough measures."

The monk extended one hand forward, drew back his right fist, and bent down, his movements flowing naturally and assuming a stance as solid as a rock.

"Because of the reality that is contrary to my ideal, I must take the relics of the Yuejialuo clan here. I am really sorry."

He didn't hesitate for a moment, and his fist rushed over like lightning.

The air cracked!
Shan Zang threw a punch.

He kicked the ground lightly with such force that it seemed to crush the rocks of the mountain. Boom! The next second, the snow piled on the ground exploded and the monk's fist struck him like lightning.

"I'll stop him. Go find Linghua Igozki first. Saving people is the most important thing."

Bai Jie conveyed the message through telepathy. He flew out with a pitch-black spear condensed in his hand. He aimed at the opponent's chest and stabbed it with all his strength.

Zenzo's fist shattered the black spear with one blow, and he kicked out with his right foot, sending out an attack like an arc-shaped shock wave.

However, Baijie jumped back, and the attack missed. Only a shock wave as sharp as a crescent moon spread in the void, shattering a tree in the distance in the middle and breaking it into pieces like an explosion.

Ye Ming and Ayaka immediately evacuated with Lila.

At the same time, a terrifying murderous aura that went beyond the will to fight emanated from Zenzo's entire body.

"Lord Baijie is quite powerful, and it will be difficult for me to hold back any longer."

At this moment, the monk who possessed the combat power of a boxer-level warrior said this while not slowing down the pace of his attack and continued to launch fierce attacks.

He quickly closed the distance and punched and kicked Bai Shi continuously. His attacks were so terrifying that each move could cut through the airflow and shatter the earth.

Shanzang's iron fists kept thrusting, trying to hit Baijie's arms and body. The lightning-fast attack seemed to be able to destroy even the snow-capped mountain.

Moreover, he insisted on using both palms to release focused shock waves at close range whenever he had the chance. Because he was being continuously attacked by him at close range, although Bai Jie was able to use his strengthened body to dissolve the attack and use the curse-returning barrier for defense, he could not find any chance to fight back.

This kind of close-range physical combat puts you completely in the opponent's territory. If you are careless, you will be targeted by Zenzo and receive a fatal blow, right?

"It's really powerful enough, but there's no reason for me to be weak here!"

Baijie activated the "Shrinking the Earth Amulet" and quickly moved and jumped to the other side in the air. At the same time, the spear condensed in his right hand pierced into the void.

The Sky-Escape Spear was activated, aiming at the monk's chest through the void of space. However, the attack only penetrated the air.

"what?"

Baijie was shocked.

"No, I've seen that move before."

Shan Zang said calmly, "Faced with a move I've seen before, it's impossible for me not to be on guard."

He seemed to sense the spear and took a step back in advance to avoid the attack.

"Also, the power you wield is similar to the Kurama Temple Demon King Style I inherited from my mentor..."

Shanzang took off the upper half of his monk's robe, and a powerful spiritual energy emanated from his body. No, it was a stream of strange bright red air. It was not spiritual energy, but a strong demonic energy.

"Especially the method of using demonic energy mixed with spiritual energy to arm the body seems to be exactly the same."

The strange red flames wrapped around him, and Shanzang's body was covered with a bright red exoskeleton, or a shell-like substance, as if he was wearing a layer of bright red armor.
