Chapter 351

In the rumbling rain, in the seemingly abandoned houses around, strange figures appeared from windows, alleys, and roofs. At the same time, after Xia De and the professor finally jumped out of the window, the figures of local residents appeared on the street behind them.

Professor Kajia might not be able to see clearly because of his old age, but Xia De saw it very clearly. The faces of those residents were clearly the same as the oil painting, showing an ugly and terrible appearance. Maybe not as pure and terrible as the captain of the Fishbone Pirate Ship, but definitely not normal humans:

"This old street... Professor, Mr. Scott, you run first. Go in the direction pointed by Miss Pulin."

Xia De said, and a silver light arc flew out from his hand, cutting off the head of the manservant who poked his head out of the window they just jumped from.

That head fell on the rainy street, spinning and stopping at Professor Kajia's feet. The eyes were not closed, and the strange fish eyes with blood color looked particularly disgusting.

Professor Kajia looked at Xia De in surprise, with a sudden realization expression on his face:

"So you are... I understand! Let's go first."

The folklorist who had cooperated with the church, how could he not know the existence of Ringed Shushi. The professor grabbed his student who was looking at the surroundings in fear, and ran straight to the street that had not been blocked yet.

Princess Lei Qianya and Xia De stood together, the former nodded and took a deep breath. As the paper roll thrown away burned, the faint green light spots flew out from her body. A few seconds later, the phantom figure of a forest archer carrying a quiver appeared beside her.

"The cult organization here is transforming humans into that kind of terrible fish-man."

The princess summarized the situation in the rain, controlling the archer to nock an arrow, the green light pierced the rain curtain, accurately piercing the throat of the fish-faced creature closest to the two, and other things looked at them with fear.

"Mr. Jude lifted the mermaid curse should not be a lie, transforming into a mermaid, the curse might disappear. He used this kind of talk to attract the Ringed Shushi infected with the curse locally, wanting to transform them into this kind of ugly thing, preparing more manpower for the sea return ritual."

Xia De also said, backing against Princess Princess Lei Qianya, the silver moonlight in his hand pushed forward gently, the light arc cut through the rain curtain like a shock wave, cutting the three fish-faced creatures rushing out of the abandoned stone house at the waist.

Although these things look terrible, except for being difficult to kill and having stronger physical fitness, they have no special power at all.

Just as Xia De thought so, Princess Lei Qianya suddenly pulled his arm, making him step back two steps. Almost in the next second, an arrow made of black liquid flew past his face.

The two looked at the alley on the side at the same time. Mr. Jude, who claimed to go upstairs to take antiques, looked at the two with a thin and long salted fish in his hand. The sound like a mouthful of phlegm passed through the rain curtain into the ears of the two:

"I originally thought you were really reporters, wanting to transform you into the dependents of the Lord. I didn't expect that you were Ringed Shushi attracted by the rumors I spread, that's even better..."

People with fish characteristics on their faces hid in every corner of this street and peeked at the two, and Xia De noticed under the reminder of the woman's voice in his ear that there were at least four Ringed Shushi hidden among those fish-like creatures.

Since this ancient street is the stronghold of the Scarlet Secret Sect, there must be more than one Ringed Shushi stationed here. I am afraid that all the residents of this whole street are terrible creatures transformed by the cult, some live here, and some have long infiltrated the city.

"Your companions can't escape either, someone will intercept them. This street has been mastered by us for hundreds of years, a large ritual from the ground to the high altitude, ensuring that no matter what happens, it will not attract the attention of people outside."

Mr. Jude looked at the direction where the two scholars escaped. Princess Lei Qianya pursed her lips, while Xia De looked across the rain curtain at the Peace Church located in the old city area of Lengshuigang. The church was not very far from here, but even without the so-called ritual, in the rainy weather, don't even think about the sound of steam bombs spreading beyond the range of one street.

"Xia De, you..."

The princess, who was soaked all over, looked at Xia De. Her red long hair was stuck to the side of her face, looking very embarrassed:

"Do you know what you are going to do?"

Xia De nodded:

"Understand, but need to fight for some time, so that we have a chance to escape."

"No problem."

She took out two rolls of parchment from both hands. As the flames burned in the rain, the phantom figure of the princess holding a spindle appeared on the left, and the phantom figure of the little girl wearing slippers and carrying a basket appeared on the right.

Duo Luo Qian said that the important manifestation of the mutual influence between the two of them is that the power of both sides can be used.

The whistle and bell rang, and the Ringed Shushi hidden in the buildings all rushed out, but they seemed to be just low-level Ringed Shushi. The princess holding the spindle and the little girl selling matches met them in the rain, and Mr. Jude, who was closest to the two, shook the thin and long salted fish in his hand again. Princess Lei Qianya hooked a thin red silk ribbon from her earring and flew toward Mr. Jude.

Mr. Jude didn't dodge, the salted fish in his hand emitted a faint silver light. He swung the fish in the rain quickly. Although the appearance was very ridiculous, the red silk ribbon was actually deflected because of this.

Xia De threw away the frog leg in his hand, squatted slightly in the rain, and then jumped into the air with a fierce jump. Looking up at the rainy sky, when he reached the highest point, his body disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared at a higher place 30 feet away.

"This height is enough."

The highest building in the nearby block was not higher than him. Xia De narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction of the Peace Church, then pointed his finger at the sky, and his spirit exploded at this moment:

"Silver Moon!"

In the dim morning of the rainy day, even the flash could not spread very far. But located at high altitude without building cover, this light that almost blinded everyone on the ground still immediately attracted the attention of the Peace Church.

Xia De landed safely, Princess Lei Qianya did not suffer damage because she lowered her head and closed her eyes in time, but most of her opponents lost all their vision in a short time.

"Run!"

The strange light that appeared in the city had already attracted the attention of the church. The high-level Ringed Shushi stationed locally could appear at any time. The members of the cult also thought of this point. In the chaos at the end of the flash, not many people were still thinking about leaving Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya behind.

"Wait, only he has seen our faces at close range."

The blurry archer figure beside the princess appeared again, nocking an arrow, the arrow pierced the rain curtain and shot at Mr. Jude at the entrance of the alley. But the middle-aged man who was blind in both eyes flicked the salted fish in his hand lightly, actually blocking this arrow.

"That fish has special resistance to energy-based attacks!"

"The church people are coming!"

The golden light spots had appeared in the high sky, it would be too late if not leaving.

"You go first, absolutely cannot let the church see you."

Xia De pushed Princess Lei Qianya, and then rushed toward Mr. Jude head-on. The princess nodded with some worry:

"Run to the east in a while, I will wait for you there."

Saying this, she ran toward the direction where the two scholars left, holding the skirt.

Boots stepped on the puddles, but the splashing water couldn't keep up with the moving footsteps. Mr. Jude turned and ran along the alley toward another block, the sound from behind let him know someone was chasing him:

"Stop him!"

Although blind in both eyes, he knew there were helpers in front.

The two fish-like creatures ambushed in the alley immediately crossed Mr. Jude and shot at Xia De with guns, but the old-fashioned gunpowder guns they used were prone to problems in rainy days, and at this moment they were aiming at moving objects, and Xia De was unscathed after two consecutive gunshots.

The sound of wind came from behind, Mr. Jude remembered the sharp moonlight he saw just now, and immediately turned back to block with the salted fish in his hand. But unexpectedly, what split the rain curtain and the air was not moonlight, but more like a playing card:

"What?"

The salted fish that could resist energy was actually cut into two sections by a playing card, which surprised even Xia De. He thought it was a relic, but didn't expect it to be an alchemical item.

Immediately, the outsider who was still more than ten steps away from catching up with his opponent, let the flying moonlight split toward Mr. Jude's head.

The middle-aged man continued to run while letting his life ring appear behind him. The 【Guardian】 spirit rune flickered, and a full-body metal armor wrapped in seaweed actually appeared from the air, blocking the moonlight attack.

That armor moved slowly toward Xia De, as if wanting to stop him. But Xia De, who caught up, swung his sword, and the two-handed greatsword slashed down with huge potential energy, cutting the metal armor into two, and the cut section was smooth and incomparable.

"Oh!"

Mr. Jude, who was running in front, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the strange technique backlash made him stagger and almost fall.

The second spirit rune 【Drowning】 lit up, and the blasphemous spiritual light surged, making Xia De, who was chasing in the rain, suddenly feel breathless:

"Underwater breathing."

The strange technique effect was targetedly broken, and Xia De continued to approach with the two-handed sword. Mr. Jude didn't run away anymore, he covered his chest and breathed heavily, turning to face Xia De:

"You think I'm blind in both eyes, so I'll be afraid of you?"

The four-ring life ring appeared completely, and the three runes 【Guardian】, 【Fish】, and 【Sacrifice】 lit up at the same time. The flashing silver light made the middle-aged man seem to grow taller on the spot. His face became closer to the terrible appearance in the oil painting, while his hands gathered rainwater, fixing the liquid into a thin thorn sword and a shield with a mermaid pattern.

A gunshot rang out, it was Xia De who fired a shot, his revolver's waterproof performance was not bad. But Mr. Jude resisted this shot, and then his ears detected the sound of wind on both sides at the same time, so the thorn sword in his right hand pierced the flying playing card, and the shield in his left hand blocked another playing card.

Because he was blind, he didn't see Xia De jumping above him, relying on the power of the spell that had not yet faded.

"Ha!"

The sword light fell, and the corpse and pieces of blood fell toward the potholed alley ground. The silver greatsword disappeared in Xia De's hand, and the blood attached to the sword left more traces on the trouser legs.

Because he knew it was a low ring, Xia De dared to chase up. This was not a fair fight. If the other party's eyes could see the attacks on both sides, he would definitely not choose to give up the defense of the front.

At this time, gunshots came from behind again, and Xia De subconsciously dodged. Coincidentally, a whole team of Ringed Shushi appeared behind the alley, so he didn't solve the two fish-like creatures that fired at him, but jumped fiercely onto the roof of the alley, and then left quickly in the rain.

There were sporadic gunshots behind him, and the Keizer Lane had the golden light unique to divine arts. Xia De vaguely heard the sound of that team of church Ringed Shushi rushing up behind him:

"Look, I knew there must be fish-men who can shoot!"

Running all the way east, after crossing two streets, he successfully saw Princess Lei Qianya and the carriage. The coachman and the two scholars had their eyes seriously injured, and only the maid in the carriage was lucky enough to have nothing happen.

Xia De jumped down from the roof, squatted down with the impact of landing, and then a bounce, nimbly darted into the carriage from the carriage window:

"Run... oh!"

Then he collided with the group of blind men in the carriage.

The maid and the princess couldn't care about the wailing of the group in the carriage, they drove the carriage together, carrying everyone and running wildly along the rainy street toward the distance.
