Who are you calling a stable boy?!

Jue Si Jue Ming chuckled softly.

Due to her special background and the fact that her duty is to guard the six divine armors and the Dark Holy Scripture Armory, she is actually much older than she appears and has lived a secluded life for many years, unknown to the public.

Therefore, it's no wonder that she stands out in the pilgrimage escort team today, appearing alongside the members of the Dark Scripture.

The captain noticed that many people in the surrounding crowd were staring at and discussing Jue Shi Jue Ming.

Hopefully, Master Likun's judgment is correct.

That's all he could think.

Fortunately, like Zetsumei, he was wearing a metal helmet, so the public couldn't see the gloom and sorrow on his face at that moment.

The first half of the pilgrimage went more smoothly than he had expected.

The floats paraded around the city without encountering any attacks and arrived safely at Six Saints Square.

As for the representative who will be giving a speech, needless to say, it is Li Kun.

As the captain of the Dark Codex, he was prepared to go on stage with Likun for safety reasons.

But the black-robed figure that came to greet Likun made the captain give up the idea.

He knew that it was Likun's personal bodyguard, a Razmir priestess known as Tu.

Accompanied by Tu, Likun stepped onto the stage that everyone was watching and addressed the believers gathered there.

As a holy master of the Razmir sect, he is the only Razmir priest in the capital who never wears a mask in public.

That kind and gentle old face is now bathed in the midday sun.

He first glanced around the audience, then was about to speak—

"Whoosh—Bang!!"

Suddenly, three-colored fireworks rose into the sky and exploded from several locations in the capital.

These fireworks were conspicuous even in the midday sky, and the sharp sound of their explosions was enough to be heard throughout the city.

The sudden commotion seemed to freeze the air in the entire Six Saints Square.

Then, someone in the crowd shouted, "It's terrible! The Expeditionary Force has invaded!"

Thus, after a brief silence, a violent uproar ensued.

"Protect the High Priest and Master Rikun!"

The captain leaped onto the podium, raised his gun, and shouted.

Under his instructions, the guards performed their duties in an orderly manner and proceeded to protect the various high priests.

"Master, thieves are attacking, please take shelter for now."

Turning to the side, the captain whispered to Li Kun.

But Li Kun remained unfazed, still smiling, and calmly stroked his long, white beard.

"Am I avoiding thieves?"

His clear laughter echoed throughout the square, so loud it didn't sound like that of an old man with white hair and beard.

That smile made the restless crowd in the square freeze in shock.

"Since you've come, why not show yourself?"

Looking at the crowd, Li Kun laughed and said, "They can't be ashamed to see an old man like me who's halfway to the grave, can they?"

"Hehe! It's my own fault for not recognizing you, Grandpa Zheng!"

—Before Li Kun finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared on the podium.

Carrying sticks on their shoulders, with a grin on their face.

Who else could it be but Zheng Jing?

Despite being confronted by the guards with swords and spears, Zheng Jing didn't even glance at them, but merely sized up Li Kun from head to toe.

"Looking like a human but a dog, he's really suited to be the mouthpiece for that spicy noodle dish."

"You audacious madman!"

With a sharp shout, the captain stepped forward.

Normally, he shouldn't make a move so easily, as he should be wary of the other party using a diversionary tactic. But right now, besides his personal bodyguard Tu, Li Kun also has Jue Si Jue Ming watching over him. He should take the lead against this thief who dares to be the first to show his face!

With a flash, he rushed to Zheng Jing at a speed beyond human comprehension, and thrust his spear forward—

"Boom."

With a casual flick of his wrist, he sent the man flying like a baseball. Zheng Jing then picked at his ear.

"when!"

The neck suddenly clashed with the blade of the giant black scythe, producing a metallic clang.

Without turning his head, Zheng Jing flicked his wrist and casually struck again with the stick.

This time, however, the attacker behind him managed to evade him.

"Oh? Little girl, you're quite skilled."

With a quick glance, Zheng Jing saw Jue Shi Jue Ming crouching a few steps behind him, wielding a giant scythe, and sincerely praised him.

"...Is it you?"

"Ok?"

"Was it you who routed an army of 16 on the Kazpin Plain?"

"It's me, Lao Zheng. What's up? Is one of your friends inside?"

"How could that be?"

There was something suppressed in Jue Si Jue Ming's laughter.

Zheng Jing raised an eyebrow and pointed with his golden cudgel at Li Kun, who was still laughing.

“Young lady, you’d better step aside. If you want an autograph, wait until I, Old Zheng, kill this old dog.”

“That won’t work. My mission today is to protect him.”

"You still won't tell your true feelings to your brother Zheng?"

"laugh!"

Upon hearing this, Zetsuki gripped the long handle tightly with both hands and shouted in a trembling voice, "As expected! You're the same, aren't you!"

Forget all that nonsense, let's have a fight!

As she spoke, she moved.

This move is all-out effort!

Martial Arts Techniques: [Gale Speed ​​Break], [Steel Fist Strike], [Super Penetration], [Superpower Boost], [Possibility Hypersensitivity]!

The giant scythe in her hand, once belonging to the Grim Reaper, could inflict a fatal wound if it struck its target.

If even the neck cannot be cut open, then a more vulnerable spot must be found for attack.

So this time, Jue Si Jue Ming targeted Zheng Jing's eyes!

The six-in-one martial arts technique granted her an explosive boost to speed; the speed of her desperate, all-out dash was probably comparable to Shalltear's all-out charge.

"when."

The flying sparks and the strange, unnatural feel of cutting into flesh caused the expression beneath the helmet of death to freeze.

But she didn't even have time to gasp in surprise.

Because that big stick with the golden headband had already swept across her waist and abdomen.

In an instant, the armor that once belonged to the God of Wind exploded, and beneath the flying armor fragments, a girl collapsed to her knees, spitting blood.

Her armor, which possessed knockback resistance, prevented her from being knocked away by the blow like the captain of the Dark Scripture.

But the armor left by the gods was ultimately not enough to protect her from Zheng Jing's blows.

In a daze, Jue Si Jue Ming met those golden eyes.

There was no joy of victory, no contempt for the weak, and not even a trace of the arrogance of the strong.

If I had to say, I think there's something in there that seems to be...

Compassion?

...What? I wasn't hit in the brain.

This became the last thought that surfaced in her mind before she was swallowed by darkness.

Why bother?

Shaking his head, Zheng Jing looked up at Li Kun.

"Old dog, it's your turn."

Chapter 330: Blocking the Bridge of Helplessness!

Before Li Kun could respond, a cloud of mist suddenly emerged from the still chaotic crowd.

The fog expanded extremely quickly, enveloping everything in the surroundings in the blink of an eye.

However, it came quickly and left quickly.

The next moment, the thick fog vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

But when the midday sun shone on Liusheng Square again, only three figures remained standing on the vast square.

"...The Map of Mountains and Rivers, Little Sage, you're quite the schemer."

Li Kun had somehow picked up a staff and maintained his smile, but his gaze toward Zheng Jing had turned gloomy.

As the high priest of Razmir, he naturally recognized that the strange phenomenon just now was caused by the activation of the Mountain and River Map.

That's why he knew that right now, centered around Liusheng Square, in the core area of ​​the capital, there were probably only him, Tu, and Zheng Jing in front of him.

"What else can you evil heretics do besides engage in these despicable acts of taking hostages and using moral blackmail?"

Zheng Jing curled his lip: "Since I knew you would definitely have this trick up your sleeve, how could I, Old Zheng, not be prepared?"

"You are the chosen one of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. My god has decreed that I should treat you with the utmost respect. There is an old saying in Tianxia: those who follow the will of Heaven prosper, and those who defy it perish. If you, Little Sage, repent and return to the right path, and help my sect achieve its goals, my sect will definitely do everything in its power to help you break through barriers and achieve legendary status. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Hehehehe, hehehehehe! Woohoo!! Ahahahaha!!!"

Zheng Jing burst into laughter, pointing his stick at Li Kun: "They say a leopard can't change its spots, and you old dog, you even like to eat the old kind of shit!"

"You're not bad at pedantry, but why don't you have any original words? This is about whether you can survive my beating, hmm?"

"you--"

"Shut up! You white-bearded scoundrel, you old thief with white hair!"

Just as Li Kun was about to speak again, Zheng Jing glared at him and stopped him.

Seeing Li Kun choke on his throat, he turned his anger into a smile.

"Hey, don't be angry or impatient, I was just teasing you."

With the stick in hand, Zheng Jing strode toward Li Kun.

"Even if new words appear, you won't survive!"

"Then, Little Saint, you're going to have to suffer the consequences of your refusal to listen to reason."

As if he had gotten carried away with speaking Tianxia, ​​Li Kun lowered his voice, and as he spoke, the six statues behind the podium, each eight meters tall, suddenly came to life!

"Oh?"

Looking at the six animated statues, Zheng Jing noticed that they all wore silver masks.

Who in the religious kingdom could have imagined that the idols they had worshipped for hundreds of years were actually six masked demons of the Razmir sect?

While Zheng Jing was observing, one of the six golems, the one in the form of the Earth God, raised its heavy hammer and aimed to smash at Zheng Jing.

With a chuckle, Zheng Jing didn't stand on ceremony and leaped to meet him.

In an instant, Liusheng Square became a battlefield.
