The Villain Saint is my secondary account

This naturally missed Marilyn, but the blinding fire temporarily obscured her vision.

The girl's blue eyes under the tricorn hat reflected the burning trees, and in an instant she caught a fleeting figure.

The fifth shot, the bullet flew through the forest and hit the figure's chest accurately, but there was no expected blood splatter, it was just a cloak with flames.

Marilyn almost immediately turned around to look at the fire, and Ye Xiao's ghostly figure had already rushed out from the flames.

At a close distance, she turned the gun and pulled the trigger. The last bullet whizzed out of the chamber and headed straight for Ye Xiao's face.

It was at this moment that Ye Xiao drew the knife from his waist.

There was a crisp sound of metal clashing, and the copper-iron bullet broke into two, brushing against Ye Xiao's temples and disappearing into the night.

At the same time, there was a diagonal knife wound on Marilyn's chest, and blood splattered like ink, dyeing a bush red.

The musket slipped and the girl leaned weakly against the tree trunk behind her. Her tricorn hat fell off, and her gray-gold ponytail stained with blood fell over her shoulders, revealing a beautiful and haggard face.

Ye Xiao sighed and sheathed his knife.

He controlled the force of the knife's blow, making sure he lost his combat ability but not his life.

I'll bandage this girl up, give her some blood medicine, and then carry her on the packhorse.

"I don't know your purpose, but should we consider this the end?"

Ye Xiao walked forward slowly, but was surprised to see that the spirits surrounding Marilyn became clearer and clearer, and even revealed hollow facial features.

"clang--"

It was like the sound of an eternal bell echoing among the trees, like an invisible hand stirring Ye Xiao's soul.

The scenery in the field of vision was slightly distorted, and the increasingly ferocious spirit was entwined and danced, and finally disappeared under Marilyn's old brown windbreaker.

The girl's body seemed to be supported by something as she slowly straightened up. On her fingerless gloved palms, a short-handled sickle with a chain at the end emitted a faint white fluorescence.

When Ye Xiao saw those watery eyes again, the girl's blue pupils were now completely occupied by white starlight, like a bright moon.

"Ah... Damn, there's still a second stage."

Ye Xiao said angrily.

Chapter 20 Healing Stick Technique

Ye Xiao raised his hand and threw an empty medicine bottle at Marilyn's face.

The girl simply tilted her head slightly to avoid the flying medicine bottle, and glass fragments flew onto the tree trunk behind her.

"call……"

After taking another bottle of stamina medicine, Ye Xiao began to feel the discomfort caused by the accumulated toxins.

The medicines in this world are always poisonous no matter how they are purified. Even if it is high-quality potion obtained from the Duke's house, the side effects will become worse if you drink it continuously.

Marilyn swung the sickle in a pale arc, and the sharp moonlight swept past Ye Xiao's side as he hurriedly dodged, cutting off a series of tree trunks and finally leaving a deep groove on a huge rock.

The white magic power that continuously gushed out of her body greatly extended the cutting range of Marilyn's sickle. The dense moonlight from each cut gathered into a storm that swept across everything around it.

The narrow forest now limited Ye Xiao's space to dodge, and the mithril inner armor engraved with defensive magic array patterns on his body was as thin as paper under the pouring moonlight, and a crack would be torn if he was not careful.

But Ye Xiao was not impatient. He calmly shuttled between the gaps between the gorgeous sword lights. He did not keep a distance with his steps, but followed Marilyn like a shadow and observed the surrounding environment.

He found that Marilyn, who was affected by external forces, was not as calm as when she was holding a gun. Her cold eyes became more and more crazy as the magic power surged out.

After drinking several bottles of blue medicine and physical medicine, his mental and physical strength finally recovered slowly as he dodged and moved.

The moment Marilyn's sickle was about to strike, the staff in Ye Xiao's hand also lit up with a green light.

"Wind Calling"

The rising air current lifted Ye Xiao up into the air. If he was on an open ground, he would have become a sitting duck.

But this was in the forest. As he rose up, he retracted his staff behind his back, lowered his upper body and rotated 120 degrees, and his feet just happened to step on a thick branch that was horizontal in mid-air.

The sudden change in three-dimensional orientation caused Marilyn's sickle to lose its target.

Amid the tangle of swirling grass and trees, a gap suddenly appeared in the dense net-like moonlight.

Like a cannonball fired from a gun, Ye Xiao glared at the tree under his feet, holding the knife in both hands and rushed towards Marilyn in mid-air.

But this was still a distance of nearly eight steps, enough for Marilyn to chop the retracted sickle along the chain again.

The pale blade light was like a crescent moon, splitting the air and heading straight for Ye Xiao who was still in the air.

This time Ye Xiao did not dodge. He gritted his teeth and summoned all his strength to clench the knife and chop it upwards, fiercely confronting the sickle with the moonlight in mid-air.

However, his weak physical attributes were unable to control the Grandmaster's energy and strength. His knuckles broke and his arms lost strength instantly, and he only slightly deflected the direction of the sickle into the air.

Even the blade forged from fine steel finally broke in these fierce battles.

Marilyn grabbed the chain and tried to retrieve the flying sickle, but Ye Xiao, who was falling rapidly in the air, did not hesitate at all. He held his breath and used all his strength to throw the broken knife in his hand out.

The broken blade drew a straight line of white light and pierced the extended chain, driving the chain straight into the half-remaining tree stump behind Marilyn.

Marilyn twisted her body and used her arms to pull out the part of the chain that was inserted into the tree stump, knocking away the broken blade that was nailed in.

But Ye Xiao took advantage of this opportunity and rushed to the girl within half a step.

He pulled out the staff behind him, grasped the middle with both hands, and swung the solid wood inlaid with crystals at the girl's stunned face with all his strength.

The dull sound that seemed to be able to awaken the sleeping soul made the old man hiding in the bushes in the distance tremble all over.

Of course, Marilyn, who was possessed by a huge magical power, would not be smashed to pieces by this stick, but the bloody saliva spurting out of her mouth and her wide-open eyes showed that she was in great pain.

The fierce force caused Marilyn's petite body to fall to the ground at an angle. Ye Xiao, without any mercy, took advantage of the situation and held the staff horizontally, pushing it down against the opponent's throat from top to bottom like rolling dough.

Marilyn loosened the chain with pain, and the white light in her pupils became brighter.

"Great God, I pray to you to send down the healing holy light..." Ye Xiao suppressed the irritable girl and muttered to himself.

The small fist wearing fingerless gloves hit Ye Xiao's waist hard. This kidney-killing blow almost made him roll his eyes, but he still endured the pain and recited the following spell.

"…Save the person in front of me!!!"

A blood-red magic circle unfolded in the air, and the magical power that suppressed chaos instantly filled the space.

With a "beep" sound, a black ball of tentacles shot out from the center of the magic circle and accurately jumped into Marilyn's slightly open mouth.

"Well!!!!"

Not in the mood to watch the girl twitching on the ground, Ye Xiao covered his abdomen and rolled over to a stone nearby, retching on the grass.

That kidney-healing fist method with magical powers is so damn painful.

"Ah...ah..."

The interlocking breathing sounds of the two people echoed in the silent grove, and the battle finally came to an end in this subtle way.

About half a minute later.

When she gradually regained consciousness, Marilyn jumped up from the ground, rushed over and grabbed Ye Xiao by the collar.

"You...what did you give me to eat!?" The usually gentle voice was now filled with trembling and panic.

"...Ms. Marilyn...please let me catch my breath for a moment..."

Ye Xiao wiped the sweat off his face, but the blood on his palm made his face even dirtier. "...I just cured your disease, Plague Hunter...The thing behind you is also the source of the spread of the plague, right?"

Hearing this, Marilyn unconsciously let go of Ye Xiao's clothes and fell silent.

"Epidemic... or to put it another way, the evil god." Ye Xiao leaned against a large rock, panting as he spoke, "You are also believers of the evil god, right?"

“Not a believer,” Marilyn whispered, “but a plague hunter. Actually, a hunter of the Full Moon Cult.”

"Almost all of them are worshippers of the evil god." Ye Xiao waved his hand. "When we first met, I was wondering if there really was a charity organization like the Plague Hunters in the world."

“No matter how slow you are, it is hard not to notice the traces of existence higher than life behind the plagues when you encounter them repeatedly. How can mortals not be polluted and bewitched by the evil gods when they are constantly in contact with them?”

"So, what you do is actually just working for the god behind the cult you mentioned."

"But it did eliminate the plague." Marilyn replied, her blue eyes becoming lively again after the cold moonlight was removed. "My hometown, the small town on the border of the Kingdom of Valen, or here, the beast transformation in Liangqiu Village, although it was through His power, the people in these places returned to peace."

"Is this why you insist on carrying out the orders of the cult even though you have been so severely polluted by Him?" Ye Xiao smiled, but the filth on his face made his smile look a little scary. "If you go to my world, you will definitely become the king of the part-time job world."

"what are you saying."

"Nothing, I'm used to talking trash, ahem." Ye Xiao continued, "In fact, compared to exorcising the evil god's pollution, your man's real goal is probably to devour him."

"Finding weak gods to help them devour their power is the goal of the Full Moon Cult and the Plague Hunters."

Chapter 21: The Last Gasp

"So, this is what the person behind you told you?" Marilyn said faintly.

Behind me? Isn't there a rock behind me?

Ye Xiao was so scared that he looked back.

"...I mean the god you are loyal to." Marilyn looked at Ye Xiao speechlessly, "The spell you just used is also the spell of the contracted evil god, right?"

"Oh...oh." Ye Xiao was stunned. "It's okay if you say that, but the one in my family is more kind."

It was the first time Marilyn heard a believer use "my one" to describe the god they believed in.

But at least he seems to be kind, otherwise this guy who talks nonsense would have been strangled to death by the tentacles just now.

"But there's still something I don't quite understand. Why did you want to kill Hyde?"

"Kill Hyde?" Marilyn frowned slightly. "The being I am loyal to did guide me to capture the old man Hyde because his bloodline is very special."

"Special bloodline... What bloodline?" Ye Xiao glanced at the little old man who was still hiding in the distance and looking at this side quietly. If this guy had special bloodline, how could he become like this? ?

"The bloodline of a miracle caster." Marilyn said frankly. For some reason, she was instinctively honest when facing Ye Xiao's questions.

"What can this guy and the miracle master do..."

Wait, Ye Xiao slapped his head.

The pendant rewarded by this guy can open the tomb of the one who inherited the profession of miracle caster. Thinking about it this way, this guy is indeed related!

I have always regarded the pendant as a quest item and never thought about why it was on him!

However, it is indeed a bit outrageous that the descendant of the miracle magician's bloodline has become like this.

"Special blood can also increase the power of gods." Marilyn continued to explain, "So the god in Liangqiu Village is also using Mr. Hyde's blood to be born and intervene in reality to become a more powerful god."

"I see. So the horse was indeed the vessel for the birth of the Liangqiu Village god," Ye Xiao nodded. Now everything connected. "After extracting Hyde's blood, they chose a delivery room nearby. Luckily, that delivery room wasn't Hyde's, otherwise the scene would have been too exciting."

"The vessel for the birth of a god...at least it will choose motherhood."

"I'm sorry, I'm still a little lacking in knowledge in this area." Ye Xiao shrugged, "So at that time, you deliberately assassinated Hyde in order to prevent His birth and gain more powerful power?"

"No, even if the god of Liangqiu Village was born normally after fusing the blood of the miracle magician, he would not be stronger than the one who served at the Full Moon Cult." Marilyn shook her head. "My physique can be used as a medium to project his power. Rather, I am a little confused as to why the god of Liangqiu Village was born in such a hurry, and was born before his blood was even fully fused, so that he was destroyed before leaving any consciousness."

"Huh?" Ye Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong. "You mean you didn't assassinate Hyde?"

"I just want to catch him, why would I kill him?"

"So you didn't go steal Hyde's blood sample this morning, and you didn't get a gun and shoot him in the basement?"

"I went to the dense forest this morning to look for the remains of the god of Liangqiu Village. After I found the remains were empty, I realized that the god had been triggered and reborn, so I rushed back to the village." Marilyn frowned, "I don't have the time or the need to kill Hyde."

"Haha, good fellow." Ye Xiao held his forehead with his hand, "Damn it, that guy fooled me."

"Who are you talking about...?" Marilyn asked curiously.

"He's talking about me, Senior Sister."

A familiar and deep voice sounded quietly, as calm as ever.

With a feather on his hat and wearing a gray windbreaker, Wengerman walked slowly out from behind the tree trunk next to him.

"Wengerman!? What's wrong with you? Aren't you resting in the tavern..."

“Sorry, Senior Sister, I really don’t want to see you possessed by that thing again.” Wengerman sighed, “The Plague Hunter, the Full Moon Cult, ah, they are all shit, they are all the playthings of that evil god.”

"Wengerman." Marilyn stood up. Because of the knockoff version of "Healing Light", her clothes looked tattered, but her body was still healthy. "What do you mean?"

"Sister, don't you understand? If we don't break away from the Plague Hunters, sooner or later we will all be doomed and become nutrients for the Full Moon Cult to worship the evil god." Wengerman took off his hat, and his eyes, which should have been brown, turned into vertical pupils like a beast. "Only gods can defeat gods. To get rid of the Full Moon Cult, we must rely on the power of gods."

"Your eyes..." Marilyn's expression was complicated, "Are you devoted to Cynthia?"

"No, I don't want us to become puppets of any god again. All gods are the same." Wengerman shook his head. "Cynthia's consciousness was devoured by me."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Xiao again, "But Cynthia's remaining consciousness alone is not enough, and it also needs to be fused with special blood to be born completely."
