A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

But Bai Lan didn't wait at all, and continued to swing the sword in his hand, pressing forward with each move.

She was already furious. This Tatar was so powerful that he could actually fight her for more than ten moves with his bare hands.

Isn't this a slap in her face?

What Bai Lan hates most is humiliation.

Suddenly, she exerted force on her feet, leaped into the air, increased her speed to the limit, and slashed down with a knife.

Her timing was perfect, because there was someone behind the Tatar coach. It was one of his disciples.

If the opponent retreats again, the knife will chop off one of the disciples' heads.

Now the Tatars could no longer escape by retreating.

He unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and it collided heavily with the magic sword.

A sinister smile appeared on Bai Lan's face, she was tricked!

Whenever weapons clash, she wins. There are no exceptions!

Under the electric current, no matter how high the Tatars' martial arts skills were, their bodies would become stiff and numb.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's body was numb and unable to move, she slashed down with her sword, aiming directly at the neck.

With one blow, I will separate your head and body!

The world is cruel. Even if you have talent, a famous teacher, and decades of hard training, it is still no match for a magic sword.

Something suddenly emerged from the side and touched the magic sword. Under the influence of this force, the magic sword was deflected and only grazed the Tartar's chest.

A bloody wound was opened and blood spurted out, but the person was saved from being beheaded.

A disciple rushed over and pulled the master away.

What pierced the magic sword was nothing but a long stick.

There was a piece of cloth wrapped around the stick.

The one who inserted the long stick was none other than Thomas.

The mainstream weapon material of this era was steel, which is a conductive metal. However, the hilt of a sword was mostly made of wood, which is an insulator.

However, Thomas knew that insulation is relative. Any object can conduct electricity, but the ability varies. So-called insulators are simply very poor conductors of electricity, so insulation is a relative concept.

The electricity attached to the magic sword is enough to penetrate wood.

The amount of electricity released by the sword varies. Specifically, the greater the impact force, the greater the current released.

Under normal circumstances, there is only a visual effect. When you are still, even if you touch the blade with your hand, it will not cause any harm.

Only a severe head-on collision can release a sufficiently powerful electric current.

However, it only penetrated the wood of the hilt. After that, the remaining energy was no longer enough to kill, and could only cause a short period of numbness. So, if it was sufficiently insulated, then the electric current of the magic sword would not be able to penetrate it.

So Thomas came up with this trick... and it turns out it works.

Bai Lan was furious and swung his hand to chop at the long stick.

A long wooden stick can block electric current but cannot block a knife blade, so it can be cut in one stroke.

But the long stick in Thomas's hand retracted and stretched out, and the long knife missed, but the tip of the stick hit her arm instead.

The force wasn't great, and the fabric cushioned it, so no damage was done.

But it still made her wrist tremble and she almost dropped her weapon.

Bai Lan's face flushed red, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Captain, stop!" Thomas said softly.

"Who do you think you are!?" Bai Lan was fuming, barely able to contain her anger. "How dare you tell me to stop!"

In shame and anger, she hummed, grasped the sword with both hands, and slashed at Thomas with her backhand.

He struck out in anger, as fast as thunder, leaving a bright blue arc in the air.

But Thomas seemed to have anticipated her movements and had already begun to dodge before the long sword was swung out.

Even with lightning speed, it is impossible to hit an opponent who anticipates and dodges.

However, this kind of detail is something that both combatants can sense, but it is difficult for outsiders to understand. All everyone can see is Thomas dodging in time.

The magic sword hit nothing.

Thomas took advantage of the moment when the opponent's powerful blow missed and was unable to withdraw his attack, dropped his long stick, took a step forward, and unexpectedly seized Bai Lan's wrist.

Now, the magic sword can no longer be swung.

"You... are looking for death!" Bai Lan's eyes turned red.

But there was a difference in arm strength between men and women. Thomas's grip was like an iron clamp, and she couldn't break free.

"Captain, look around." Thomas reminded in a low voice.

Section 28 Conflict 3

I don't know when, but many people appeared around.

This is the pagan settlement area in Kiev.

In other words, the entire attached city is almost full of pagans!

The commotion in the martial arts gym has attracted many outsiders.

The pagans stood in the distance, surrounding the place in layers, looking at these outsiders with gloomy eyes.

Moreover, these people are not the elderly, the weak, women or children, but adult men.

The Russians have always been brave and warlike, and carrying weapons is a tradition for them.

They must be holding some kind of rally nearby, which is why they were able to attract so many people in such a short time.

But no matter what, the current situation is that Bai Lan and his team have been surrounded.

You can feel the naked, undisguised hostility.

Now, the firewood has been piled up, the oil has been poured, and only a spark is needed to ignite the fire.

If the Tatar coach just now was killed, it would be a good spark.

As for what will happen after the fire starts...

There are only a few dozen people on their side.

There are at least thousands of pagans here, not to mention the endless supply of reinforcements once a fight breaks out.

Even though the quality of our side is higher and there are more core combat forces, they cannot withstand such a huge difference in numbers.

Even though the elite claimed to be unafraid of being surrounded, that was just a claim. At least on this point, Crow had made it clear to Thomas.

When there was only one person on the opposite side, he was defeated in three seconds, and then he got the chance to escape.

What if there's more than one person on the other side? Then I'd definitely give up. I can't break out from here!

Anyway, Thomas felt that he still had a chance of escaping, but others could forget about it.

This is not because he is elite and has strong combat power, but because he learned body skills and has the ability to barely climb walls and fly over rooftops.

Bai Lan's struggle stopped.

She was not mentally retarded and could clearly feel the dangerous atmosphere that was just a hair's breadth away.

Thomas slowly loosened his grip.

On the other hand, it wasn't just one person who sensed the danger.

The others who were searching inside also smelled this unusual scent and rushed towards the yard, which was the training ground.

Damn, this is clearly a trap.

All I can say is that this woman was too impulsive and arrogant, so she stepped in.

If someone had been killed just now, the situation would have collapsed.

Bai Lan retracted the magic sword, and the next moment, she held the sword in one hand and pulled out a dagger from her waist with the other hand and stabbed it towards Thomas' face.

Thomas dodged by turning his face to the side, and the sharp blade cut off a strand of hair and cut a gash on his face.

A few drops of blood rolled out.

Thomas took a step back, a stiff smile on his face.

"Captain..." Anger rose in his heart.

The last bit of goodwill, or rather, the last bit of hope, was shattered by this blow.

"We come here on the orders of the Grand Duke... Do you want to rebel?" Bai Lan ignored Thomas, put away his weapon, and looked around at the pagans.

She was confident and fearless.

Because she originally despised these lower-class people and didn't think they were scary at all.

Of course, given the current situation, she knew that she could not continue the search.

Although she wasn't afraid, her men had already lost their fighting spirit. In this situation, no matter how unwilling she was, she knew she should retreat.

The Inquisitor took the lead and headed for the gate. Although there were countless pagans with weapons standing in front of the gate, they silently made way for Bai Lan.

After all, the other party represents the authority of the Grand Duke of Kyiv.

Thomas followed the end of the team and left the nearby city.

"Master Thomas," Janos appeared out of nowhere. "It's my fault."

"It's okay, you did the right thing." Thomas gently touched the small cut on his face with his hand.

But my heart is filled with indifference.

He watched Bai Lan jump onto her mount and ride away, as if he was looking at a dead person.

I originally intended to save the other person's life, so I naturally won't make things difficult for myself now.

Yes, he already knew that Bai Lan would die.

And it would be a very tragic way to die. He would probably be raped and murdered and then his body would be hung for public display.

Maybe it wasn't rape and murder, but in any case, he would definitely be severely tortured and humiliated before death, using all kinds of means.

If this were not the case, how could it arouse the anger of the church?

There is a mysterious black hand who wants to stir up conflict between Christians and pagans, so he chose Bai Lan.

This doesn't mean that they want to use Bai Lan to kill a few pagans, but the other way around.

The Grand Prince of Kiev would not want his subjects to engage in civil war, so the death of a few pagan Christians would not matter at all.

The last time, Alar’s ​​entire team was wiped out (only Thomas was left), and it was also silent and without further news.

Therefore, if one wants to further provoke the conflict between the two sides, it is only possible if someone with a high enough status dies.

Bai Lan barely meets this standard, after all, she is an inquisitor.

If Thomas had not arrived, Bai Lan would have killed people indiscriminately, thus inciting a civil uprising.

This is the most perfect answer. Even if we investigate later, we can only blame it on her brutality and cruelty, and no clues or evidence can be found.

But if Thomas was behind this, he would definitely have a backup plan. After all, some details are beyond our control. What if everyone kept silent? What if Bai Lan was in a particularly good mood that day? What if something unexpected suddenly caught her attention?

The scene where "the judge incited a civil uprising and was killed" could not be performed.

Then it will be replaced by the plot of "the inquisitor is assassinated for angering the pagans."

Thomas would definitely arrange it that way anyway.

And, Thomas was sure, it would happen today.

It should be tonight. After all, it's dark and windy when it's best to kill or burn someone.

Thomas began to think about what he should do about this matter.

I originally wanted to save people, but now that they don’t want to be saved, I have to think of something else.

After all, it's not good to just sit back and watch everything happen.

Speaking of which, Thomas has been coveting the other party's magic sword for a long time.
