Chapter 402: Chapter 372 Truth 1/2

"I can’t go on like this... otherwise... I’ll die!" he was very clear in his mind. If he didn’t make changes, he might really die here.

The massive blood loss had left him unable to even use Extreme Shadow or the Star Shattering Sword Technique. His whole body was continuously plagued by a heavy sense of weakness, barely able to muster any strength.

He tried connecting to the Sword Canon Space, but there was not even the slightest response. Although this was anticipated, Lin Fei was still somewhat disappointed.

He was a speed-type swordsman, but facing an enemy whom he couldn’t even see made it impossible to fully utilize his speed.

At this time, the advantage of having high defense became apparent. Defense and counterattack were the only options now.

Lin Fei knew this, but he was helpless; this was the adversary’s turf, and he was far less familiar with it than his opponent. Moreover, the most critical issue was that he simply didn’t know when that guy would appear. The constant sense of tension was a considerable drain on his spirit.

"Huff..." He slowly regulated his breathing. This was the worst situation he’d faced since his rebirth. The opponent left no traces, and there were a large number of powerful enemies all around.

"It’s because I was too arrogant..." he murmured to himself. "I thought there was no one in the outer world who could harm me anymore, but... "

A faint blue potential energy weakly surrounded him. It was a defensive layer formed by wrapping the combined powers of True Force, pseudo-True Force, and the Power of the Divine Artifact with potential energy. The defense was strong enough to resist the continuous bombardment of missiles and artillery.

It was dark all around, with a faint white mist blurring everything.

Suddenly, a burst of light lit up the street outside.

Like a flare, it instantly illuminated the entire street.

Lin Fei lay behind the counter, where the darkness and the counter provided the best concealment. He completely hid his aura and quietly watched the street outside.

Bang!!

A figure was suddenly smashed from afar, bringing up debris on the street surface, rolling several times, and spreading a large amount of blood on the ground.

The figure finally lay in a position directly in Lin Fei’s line of sight, groaning and trying to rise but collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

Following that, with a whooshing sound of flight, a silver figure slowly landed on the cement debris on one side. It was a man dressed in silver armor, a pair of silver metal wings slowly stretching behind him as if they were real wings.

From Lin Fei’s angle, he could only see the man’s profile, with brown short hair and a chiseled face that looked quite fierce.

"Paul, don’t think about escaping any longer, how much strength do you have left? How many more times can you teleport?" the Silver Armored Knight calmly said. "It’s useless..." He took steps towards the figure on the ground.

Lin Fei hid behind the counter. The excessive blood loss made it difficult for him even to maintain his focus. Nevertheless, he intently observed the movements outside.

Shh!

A sharp aura pierced through Lin Fei’s defensive layer and instantly left a wound on his thigh.

"Damn!" Lin Fei’s heart tightened.

"Who!!" The Silver Armored Knight outside suddenly turned to look towards Lin Fei’s position.

But just then, the figure on the ground suddenly lunged forward. Mid-air, the person transformed rapidly into a huge white-furred wolf, howling and pouncing towards the Silver Armored Knight.

"Die!!" Circular light discs, similar to magic formations, radiated from the giant wolf’s claws. The disks rotated slowly.

The Silver Armored Knight hastily conjured a huge silver Tower Shield in front of him, but the shield’s light had barely formed when it was viciously shattered by the giant wolf.

"No!!"

He roared in shock and anger, his body erupting in countless bursts of white light.

Boom!!

The ground shook violently.

Lin Fei gasped for breath, slowly closing his eyes, as he couldn’t even withstand the glaring white light now. Sweat trickled down his cheeks. His vision darkened, and a multitude of fine dots swam in his sight. He knew these were symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain and eyes.

Once the white light had dissipated, Lin Fei turned her attention back outside.

The countless fragments that had been there before were now completely blown away, leaving a huge pit five or six meters deep in the place where the two of them had stood. Clusters of energy aura that had not yet fully dispersed still lingered in the air, and the thick fog was violently shaken apart, allowing Lin Fei to clearly see the condition within the pit from not too far away.

The white giant wolf’s body was split in two, and the Silver Armored Knight’s head had rolled to one side, his torso to the other. The two had turned into four pieces. It looked like they had both perished together.

Lin Fei slowly stretched out her hand and flicked fiercely toward the pit.

Hisss!

An invisible force immediately struck the giant wolf’s body.

A tiny blood hole promptly appeared on the surface of the giant wolf’s body. Yet the giant wolf still showed no response.

Lin Fei did the same thing to the Silver Armored Knight.

Even in such a sorry state, she had to maintain a high level of vigilance.

She had seen the battle between the two as well. Although it was not a loud affair, the energy they condensed was incredibly intense.

Especially the white giant wolf. It was obviously not a transformation-type Psychic, yet it could transform into a giant wolf. Clearly, this was the result of a Psychic merging with their totem.

Anyone capable of merging with their totem was at least of A rank. But the aura on their bodies did not reach the A rank.

Therefore, they must have achieved this effect through some special Secret Technique or item.

After probing the two, Lin Fei finally forced herself to walk out from her hiding spot and quickly went over to the corpses.

She inspected the giant wolf’s body first.

She found some medicine with unknown effects among the white fur. That was all there was.

She then felt around the Silver Armored Knight’s body and found a small dagger hidden within the inner layer of his armor. The dagger was a pale purple color, the blade twisted in a wavelike form. The hilt had no guard, resembling a simple line rather than the cross-shaped ones. A cross was carved at the end of the black hilt.

There was also a small, wallet-like leather pouch containing some cards and small paper-wrapped packets. There were three packets, all wrapped in white paper. Each was marked with a different pattern.

One was shaped like a droplet, one had a skull, and the last one had a cross.

After collecting all the items, Lin Fei swiftly left her original location.

On her way out, she was attacked suddenly twice more.

Although she was injured both times, she discerned a pattern from them.

"These attacks don’t seem to be from that guy acting alone..." Lin Fei pondered, carefully examining the wound scars on her body. They were almost all pierced by claw-like sharp instruments. While they were strong, they didn’t carry the slightest trace of True Force.

Walking slowly along the street, Lin Fei first took out the paper packet marked with a cross and applied a bit of its contents to a small wound on her hand, indeed feeling a cool and comfortable sensation.

"It indeed is emergency medicine," she said, quickly tearing open the paper packet and gulping down all the Purifying Powder.

She had read that those from the Holy See usually carry three packets: one with Purifying Powder, one with Holy Healing Powder, and one with Holy Sacrifice Powder.

These three powders, where both Holy Healing and Purifying had healing effects, and Holy Sacrifice Powder was a lethal toxin that upon ingestion, immediately burned life force to unleash all one’s strength, meant for a do-or-die situation. Moreover, it was not meant for ingestion but for application on wounds.

After ingesting the powder, Lin Fei distinctly felt a stream of warmth spreading from her stomach to her entire body, and the dizziness and fatigue from blood loss slowly subsided.

"Indeed, it’s medicine made by Psychics in collaboration," she tightened her grip on the Black Demon Sword at her waist, gave a cursory glance over her body, and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

Her black shirt and jeans were full of rips and tears, and the exposed skin underneath was covered in grime. She looked many times more disheveled than when she had entered the place.

"But this medicine has only relieved the feeling of weakness in the body; it can’t do anything about the damage to the body’s vital essence..." She was very clear in her mind that if she couldn’t evade that guy’s sudden ambushes, the danger was still present.

However, having weathered so many attacks, Lin Fei had also vaguely noticed something about the enemy’s attacking pattern. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
