Chapter 192

"Bang!"

Just as the few people in the room had reached a consensus and the tense atmosphere had eased slightly, suddenly, the room's window was kicked open by a massive force! A black shadow pounced toward Baixue as swiftly as a goshawk—it was Nie Yingying!

Her movements were so fast that it was hard to react. The pitch-black 【Stabbing Twin Blades】 had no reflection in the dim room, as if it had merged with the darkness, pointing straight at Baixue's snow-white neck.

Although Luka and Vivian were skilled, the incident happened suddenly, and the two of them had no time to rescue her, so they could only watch helplessly as the dagger closed in on the Princess.

Just at this critical moment, a brilliant golden light erupted from Baixue's body! The radiance was like the breaking of dawn, instantly illuminating the entire room. The golden light quickly condensed, turning into a shield shining with sacred brilliance, steadily blocking the front of Baixue's neck.

"Clang—!"

The 【Stabbing Twin Blades】 struck the golden shield fiercely, emitting a crisp metallic collision sound. Nie Yingying's offensive was blocked dead in its tracks. A flash of surprise crossed her eyes, but she quickly returned to her cold expression.

'Holy Light Protection'—Nie Yingying was too familiar with this skill. In the 'Little Garden Invitation' plot world, that girl Duanmu Xing had used this move to save her from the Cyclops.

She borrowed the force to leap backward, landing lightly in a corner of the room, her gaze sweeping over everyone like a blade.

Sure enough, she saw that in the corner of the room, the golden light in the hands of the thin, small man who had been unremarkable all along was slowly dissipating.

And his face was pale at this moment; clearly, releasing a 'Holy Light Protection' was not an easy task for him.

【Holy Light Priest】! Green profession entry! A devout believer in the Holy Light, mastering the power of sacred healing and purification. His 'Holy Light Healing' can soothe pain, and 'Purifying Light' can dispel darkness and curses. He is an indispensable Guardian in the team!

"Well done, Piaier!"

Luka and Vivian reacted quickly, guarding Baixue on the left and right.

Baixue was also startled by this sudden turn of events and took a few steps back, her face pale, but she quickly steadied her mind.

Luka let out a low growl, his true Minotaur form faintly appearing, blue veins bulging on his thick arms, ready to launch a counterattack at any time.

Vivian gripped the magic wand in her hand, her gaze fixed sharply on Nie Yingying, and said coldly: "It's you!"

And Baixue, looking at the masked assassin dressed in black before her, asked in confusion: "Miss Vivian, do you know..."

Before Baixue could finish her sentence, Nie Yingying had already struck again! With a flick of her wrist, two feather-shaped flying daggers tore through the air like lightning, pointing straight at Baixue's throat and heart.

The speed of the flying daggers was extremely fast, closing in on the target in the blink of an eye.

However, this time, the Travelers were already on full alert. Luka's massive body stood in front of Baixue like a mountain. He just raised his hand slightly, and the warhammer in his hand easily deflected the two flying daggers, the blades embedding themselves into the wall with a "ding."

Vivian quickly raised her hand, the starlight on her magic wand flickering. The starlight that had originally imprisoned Aidehua Wangzi suddenly began to flow, and then shot toward Nie Yingying's direction.

"Starlight Binding!" Vivian gave a light shout, and the starlight tightened rapidly, like an invisible net, attempting to restrict Nie Yingying's movements.

However, Nie Yingying's figure was as agile as a ghost. She sneered, her body swaying slightly, and she actually escaped from the gaps in the starlight. Her voice was cold and mocking: "Astrologer! Too slow, unfortunately."

Vivian keenly sensed Nie Yingying's intention.

She turned her head and said to Luka and Baixue: "She is stalling for time! We must leave immediately, otherwise, if their reinforcements arrive, we'll be in trouble!"

Luka and Vivian coordinated perfectly, gripping their warhammers without hesitation, and dazzling thunderous power instantly erupted from the hammer. He let out a low growl, like a berserk beast, and charged straight toward the alert Nie Yingying. Thunder exploded in the air, emitting a deafening roar, forcing Nie Yingying to retreat a few steps to avoid the brunt of the attack.

And Vivian grabbed Baixue's arm and shouted at Aidehua Wangzi, who had just regained his mobility.

"Lead the way! Hurry!"

"Alright!"

Aidehua Wangzi didn't hesitate and turned to run!

Baixue was pulled by Vivian, her steps a bit unsteady, but she quickly adjusted her rhythm and followed closely behind Aidehua Wangzi.

Vivian ran while looking back to observe the battle between Luka and Nie Yingying, the star chart in her hand glowing slightly, ready to provide support at any time.

And Piaier, who had just performed a great service, was now only focused on burying his head and fleeing with the team. He felt he had done very well just now, and from here on, he just needed to save his own life.

At this moment, the Earl of Somerset, who had been alerted, had already arrived with a group of Gaodi Kingdom attendants and guards, and under Aidehua Wangzi's orders, began to surround and attack Nie Yingying.

Seeing Baixue escape, a flash of anxiety crossed Nie Yingying's eyes, and she tried to bypass Luka to pursue.

However, Luka's warhammer swept across like thunder, forcing her to jump and dodge. The 【Sky Assassin】 profession granted her short-term flight ability, allowing her to easily dodge Luka's attacks, but facing the crossbow bolts shot by the Gaodi Kingdom guards completely cut off her chance to continue pursuing Baixue.

"Thunder Shock!"

Luka didn't want to tangle with Nie Yingying here. A phantom of a warhammer formed by thunder took advantage of the gap while Nie Yingying was dodging the crossbow bolts and smashed fiercely toward her.

Facing the incoming attack, Nie Yingying forced her waist to dodge, but she was still grazed by the thunder light. Half of her body went numb, and she immediately fell from mid-air, twitching.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Luka, who had originally only intended to repel Nie Yingying to escape, immediately followed his years of combat experience and smashed his hammer fiercely toward Nie Yingying's head on the ground.

"Thunderous Might!"

Nie Yingying wanted to dodge, but her numb and twitching body wouldn't listen to her for a moment, and a look of despair immediately appeared on her face.

She had underestimated the Travelers of the world!

Was she really getting arrogant because of the newly acquired powerful profession entry?

The warhammer, carrying berserk thunderous power, smashed fiercely into the ground. Thunder light splattered, and lightning danced wildly in the air like silver snakes. Even the Gaodi soldiers who were trying to assist in the attack were intimidated by this power and retreated one after another to avoid the aftermath of the lightning, fearing they would be caught in it.

"Boom—!"

With a loud bang, the brick floor of the inn was instantly smashed into a huge deep pit. Gravel flew, and smoke and dust filled the air. When the smoke and dust dissipated, only a charred corpse could be seen lying in the pit, its head already smashed to pieces. The blood on the ground had long been evaporated by the high temperature of the thunder, leaving only a charred mark.

Luka stood at the edge of the pit, his gaze cold and stern, his Minotaur body rising and falling slightly, and the warhammer in his hand still flickering with lingering thunder light.
