The Warrior of Love

And as long as the blood shadow captures the villagers, I will have a lot of vitality to squander. I will never lose before turning the whole village into a death prison! Unless you kill me with one blow... hehe..."

After saying this, Hilde just smiled to himself, as if he thought he was joking.

After all, even the Demon King didn't dare to say that he could kill a strong person of her level with one blow.

"hateful!"

Alia was horrified and said to Jiang Liu quickly, "No, we can't just sit there and do nothing. We must go and rescue the villagers quickly. It will be too late if we are late!"

"Calm down, Alia. There are still three minutes left. It's more than enough time." Jiang Liu glanced back at the goddess.

Alia and Jiang Liu looked at each other for a moment, and seeing those dark eyes that were calm as if everything was under control, they unexpectedly calmed down.

"Jiang Liu..."

"More than enough? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hilde frowned and said unkindly, "What can you do in such a short time? Are you planning to kill me?"

"Yes." Jiang Liu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that was natural and normal.

"Is this a provocation? Do you want me to attack?"

Hilde looked cautious: "But I won't attack. After the battle just now, I have fully understood the fact that your fighting ability is superior to mine. But at the same time, I also realize your flaws!"

Jiang Liu opened his eyes slightly, looking a little surprised, and Heber and Alia also looked over.

He actually had defects or something - the two goddesses really couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know how you managed to make an ordinary long sword compete with my magic spear, but even if you use superb sword skills and special skills to make up for it, it can't cover up the fact that your equipment is just a pile of garbage!"

Hilde said seriously, “Compared to your impeccable defense, your attack power is not that outstanding—at least not as outrageous as your defense power.

Even with the holy magic, it only split my armor.

This level of attack is certainly very strong, but I am immortal. As long as my flesh and blood cannot be destroyed in one blow, I can continue to regenerate. Don't bluff, you absolutely can't kill me in such a short time-"

"Long-winded!"

Jiang Liu frowned. After listening to her talking to herself for such a long time, he finally became impatient.

"I thought you were going to say something great, what a waste of time!"

He changed from holding the long sword with one hand to holding it with both hands, raised this basic equipment called "garbage" high, and pointed the cold sword tip to the sky.

Unlike the previous unconscious strengthening, Jiang Liu now actively wrapped the armament color domineering around it, and the light and shadow around the sword body were slightly distorted.

"Strong defense? Weak attack? That's really confusing. - Have you seen my "attack power"?!"

"Cut off past karma"!

"Gods and ghosts are afraid of it"!

[Original o Light and Dark]!

The dazzling light condensed on the long sword that was full of domineering power, and in a trance it looked as magnificent and brilliant as transparent crystal.

Non-humans and evil beings will be judged by this sword!

"Impossible, how can there be such a thing, what on earth is this——"

Can't avoid it! Can't stop it!

The Valkyrie realized at the first moment that this was definitely not an attack she could withstand, but her body seemed to be imprisoned by iron and she couldn't even take a step to escape.

"Om!!"

The sword blade raised a flashing trail that cut through the sky and earth, instantly destroying all defenses, severing the girl's body along with her hard blood-red armor, and then drowning her in the light that bleached everything in the universe...

In the distant village, the villagers who were easily captured by the Blood Shadow and dragged to the square to be left to die like animals, regardless of gender, age or status, fell into despair in the face of this insurmountable gap in combat power.

The guards in the village had already been knocked down, but luckily Blood Shadow followed orders mechanically, so he only incapacitated them without killing them.

But soon the blood shadows gathered together, surrounded the villagers who had no power to resist, and gradually revealed ferocious expressions, waiting for the time limit to expire before they started killing -

At this moment, the ground shook slightly, and a holy white light shot straight into the sky from the distant mountains and forests!

"Ahhh-"

At the same time, the blood shadows let out extremely shrill screams and turned into ashes in the black smoke, leaving only the villagers with bewildered faces...

Chapter 360: Learning to Cook Can't Save the Sword God (Repaying Debt 16)

"Thank you so much, thank you for saving this village, brave man!"

A crowd gathered at the entrance of the village, looking at Jiang Liu and the other two with gratitude, curiosity, and admiration. Standing in front of them was a white-haired old man who fit the image of an "elder" perfectly.

"I was really in despair at that time. If you hadn't defeated the Demon King's army in the woods, this village would have been... wuwu, really, no matter how many times I say thank you, it can't express my feelings.

Please stay in this village for a while to relieve your fatigue from the battle and the journey, and let us repay you in return!"

"Don't cry, old man."

Alia took the elder's hand and said gently, "Our mission is to defeat the devil. We don't have much time to stay in one place. We appreciate your kindness."

"How could it be... Ugh!"

The elder waved his hand, and a half-grown young man came forward holding a long object wrapped in green cloth.

"Since the heroes are responsible for saving the world, we can't force them to stay, but please accept this anyway."

"this is?"

"This is the best sword in our village!"

"Can it be exchanged for gold coins of equivalent value?"

"Ugh?"

"What did you say!"

Heber poked Jiang Liu in the side with his elbow, a pleasant smile appeared on his delicate face, and he put away the sword.

"Thank you. The hero will carry your hopes and use this sword to continuously slay demons and save this world."

“It’s our honor!”

-

"Why not change it into money? We are out of gold coins now."

"How can a hero take the villagers' gifts and exchange them for money?"

Heber crossed his arms over his chest, his left foot treading unsteadily on the ground.

"This is a token of the villagers' love and proof of the hero's achievements, do you understand? You know, in any heroic story, heroes don't care about money, but they value relationships the most! How can something of such great commemorative value be measured with worldly money?"

"You really like it, Hero's Tale." Jiang Liu sighed helplessly.

"Of course……"

Heber's cloudy sky suddenly turned sunny and he became cheerful all of a sudden.

"We are now experiencing a story that only appears in books, and we are writing our own heroic tale! Little Hercules, you'd better realize this quickly!"

Looking at Heber's cute smiling face that was bright and without a trace of gloom, Jiang Liu's mood suddenly became brighter.

"Well, as long as you are happy, that's better than anything else. Let's enjoy this journey."

Jiang Liu smiled silently: "It's been a long time since I last became a real "hero"."

"You are worthy of being my hero!" Hebe happily hugged Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu was about to reach out his hand when he heard a voice from the side.

"You two, although it's a good thing to have such a good relationship, it's broad daylight now." Alia complained, "And there is a third person present, okay?"

I don't mind you joining - these words suddenly flashed through Jiang Liu's mind.

He then realized that his improper thoughts meant that he could never be an "orthodox hero" and he suddenly felt a sense of self-loathing for no apparent reason.

but……

Looking at Alia's curvy figure, a combination of plumpness and slenderness, which could be described as a "perfect" goddess-level figure, the feeling of self-loathing quickly disappeared.

As a man, this is normal - he forgave himself easily.

"Be careful your eyes may fall off."

"Forehead……"

"Humph!"

Heber loosened her hand, turned her head and snorted, but soon a strange sound from her stomach distracted her.

"Ugh...I'm hungry."

Pursing his lips, Heber looked at Jiang Liu with a hint of dissatisfaction. Jiang Liu followed suit and asked Alia to open the door to the realm of gods, preparing to solve the problem of lunch.

What, picnic?

Are you kidding? Isn’t the cafeteria in the God Realm more enjoyable than having a barbecue in the wilderness?

Although it might seem a bit of an overreaction to go back to the God Realm just for a meal, at least one of the Four Heavenly Kings has been dealt with, so just treat it as a small celebration party.

Arriving at the God Realm Cafeteria, Heber, who loves sweets, has happily run to the pastry section. Jiang Liu can already foresee the scene of her coming back with a whole plate of cakes...

"what?"

In the cafeteria, Jiang Liu met an unexpected person - the "Sword God".

"Celseus, why are you here?"

Is it strange that the Sword God is in the cafeteria? Of course not. It is normal for anyone to appear in the cafeteria. After all, it is a public place.

However, the strange thing is that Celseus did not come here as a diner, but worked here as a chef or a kitchen helper.

"Master, Master!"

The Sword God, who was conscientiously spreading cream on the cake dough, almost dropped it when he heard the sound. He finally managed to hold it steady and turned around to see Jiang Liu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Master, you are back..."

"What's going on? Aren't you the Sword God? I almost didn't recognize you when you were wearing a cat apron."

Jiang Liu blinked: "Changed job?"

“Ah… yes, yes!”

Celseus forced a smile and showed Jiang Liu the cake he had just made.

"I suddenly realized that the true meaning of life is not in fighting, so I gave up the sword and turned to the way of cooking, hoping to bring happiness to more people."

"Wow, your thought level is quite high."

"If you don't mind, Master, would you like to try a piece?"

"Then I'm not welcome..."

"How is it?" asked the Sword God with some nervousness and anticipation.

"Hmm... I can't say it tastes bad, I can only say it's very subtle." Jiang Liu tilted his mouth, "The middle of the dough is not baked, but the outside is a bit hard. It's obviously because the heat is not well controlled. But for beginners, as long as it's not burnt, it's good enough."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, Master. I will keep working hard!"

"Well, don't be complacent, be modest and learn with an open mind to make progress - what the hell!"

Jiang Liu suddenly punched the bar, which scared the Sword God.

"I'm not teaching you cooking! Where's your sword? What kind of sword god is it without a sword?

What a joke! I taught you because you were so sincere, and now you tell me to throw away the sword? Are you kidding me? You called me master, but now you are like this... Do you think I am easy to fool?!"

"Uh-huh-"

It was no wonder that Jiang Liu was so angry. After all, among his many martial arts, he was most proud of his swordsmanship. He had not originally intended to teach it to the Sword God (he was not suitable for learning Jiang Liu's style of swordsmanship), but seeing that he was determined and sincere, he did his best to guide him in his practice.

Although the styles of the schools are completely different, Jiang Liu has managed to raise the realm of the Sword God by half a level through careful training, which is considered a rare effort.

But now he said he would give up sword and turn to cooking?

Doesn't that mean that Jiang Liu's hard work over the days was in vain? !

"Give me a good reason, Celseus."

"babble!"

Obviously, the Sword God was much taller than Jiang Liu, but now he was like a small animal, curled up into a ball under Jiang Liu's oppressive gaze, looking extremely pitiful.
