Chapter 557

The bride under the moon was very beautiful, wearing a white veil, and the white wedding dress fit her figure perfectly, the width of the cinched waist also showing her slimness. Her carefully groomed hair hung behind her, and she wore a pair of black high heels on her feet.

A rough estimate, her height in high heels was a bit taller than Yiluna.

And the reason for thinking she was a "corpse bride" was because, judging from the body shape and blurred features, this was clearly the "fiancée" they had just seen in the house.

"Can you tell what kind of relic it is?"

Xia De asked Yiluna beside him, and the girl from the Orthodox Church answered with some annoyance:

"There are simply too many relics that can give a corpse the ability to move. Without determining the other party's characteristics more precisely, I cannot give an answer."

The 【Ring of Fish Training】 that Xia De currently holds also has the ability to "resurrect" a corpse, but putting that ring on a dead person's finger and chanting the spell causes consequences far more complex than just the resurrection of the dead.

"In any case, let's test her strength first."

Xia De said, and Yiluna nodded on the side, standing side by side with him:

"Quick battle, quick decision. There are other residents on this street. The silence spell is not easy to use in such an open environment. Remember not to make too much noise."

The corpse bride did not attack while the two were talking, but stood quietly in the middle of the street under the moonlight, as if she were not accustomed to the environment here. And as Xia De drew the Moonlight Greatsword from the air, and golden lightning flickered in Yiluna's palms, she finally moved with stiff limbs.

Waving the sharp knife that emitted a cold light with her right hand, she rushed toward the two standing people like she was sliding. Before this, Xia De really could not imagine the scene of a bride in high heels rushing under the night sky with a sharp knife:

"Perhaps it can be used as material for Dorothy's novel."

He thought wildly in his heart.

"Sunlight Spear!"

Yiluna said in a low voice. The projected spear did not make a loud crackling sound because she was deliberately controlling its power.

The golden thunder pierced directly through the bride's veil, and she slashed with the sharp knife in her hand. The metal knife collided with the thunder, and the weakened Sunlight Spear dissipated a portion, but most of the golden thunderbolts followed the blade and spread to the bride's body.

At the moment when the corpse bride's movements suddenly stiffened, Xia De's figure appeared above her.

"Lagley's Jump!"

Xia De slashed at the bride's head with both hands, but at the last moment, the bride, who had broken free from the paralysis, raised her hand to slash upward with the sharp knife. Sword and knife collided, and silver moonlight debris splashed in the clanging sound. Xia De, holding the sword with both hands, used the downward slashing motion to forcefully suppress the knife in the corpse bride's hand.

That knife, one did not know what material it was made of, but after colliding with the Moonlight Greatsword, it actually only had a notch chipped out at the blade.

"Good opportunity, Yiluna!"

Xia De said in a low voice.

"Coming!"

A black vortex appeared beside Xia De, Yiluna's hand reached out quickly, and the high-held Sunlight Spear slashed directly at the bride's face at close range. The high-level divine art of the Church of the Sun, 【Sunlight Spear】, has a saying that the closer the distance, the stronger the power.

This kind of situation, which was almost a face-to-face hit, even if Yiluna had reduced the power for the sake of quietness, was enough to destroy most targets.

But the one in front of her was clearly not a normal target. Pierced through the face by the Sunlight Spear, even the veil had a big hole, but the corpse still remained active.

The foot in high heels kicked Xia De away, and then she actually disappeared into the air, and then appeared behind Yiluna with a knife.

"The 【Sunlight Spear】 that restrains the undead has no obvious damage to it, and was that actually spatial movement just now?"

Xia De could not understand what could create such a terrifying undead. And Yiluna on the other side also noticed the wind behind her. She had considerable combat experience and did not dodge at all, but summoned her Life Ring.

The bell and whistle sounds when the Life Ring appeared could only be heard clearly at close range. And the golden Life Ring that emerged from the high-temperature steam mist forcefully bounced the corpse behind Yiluna away.

For ordinary Ringed Sorcerers, the Life Ring cannot be used as a weapon, but the Chosen One is different. In the Crystal Forest, she even held the scales in the dark to protect Xia De and Difa.

"Spatial Stabilization Halo!"

Xia De's figure also appeared behind Yiluna, and then immediately activated the strange art that prohibited the enemy from moving spatially. He swung his sword again, then was blocked again by the sharp blade in the corpse bride's hand, and left a notch on that knife again.

Xia De noticed this time that the bride was wearing a wedding ring on her right hand, but unfortunately, the ring was also an ordinary object and not the relic that caused the corpse to move.

"Balance!"

Golden ripples spread, and Xia De, who was contending with the corpse bride with a greatsword, clearly felt the other party's strength weakening rapidly. At the same time, looking closely at the veil that had been opened with a small hole, Xia De also clearly saw the face behind the veil.

The damage caused by the Sunlight Spear had disappeared, and the bride's face was clearly the third missing corpse, which was Annie Julian.

"What exactly does her brother want to do?"

Both hands exerted force suddenly, completely pressing the knife in the bride's hand back in front of her. As the bride kept retreating, Xia De continued to press forward without yielding. Suddenly, behind the veil, the mouth painted with bright red lipstick opened, and then, a bright red tongue like a snake was spat out.

That tongue seemed to want to pierce Xia De's throat, but Xia De, who had just been sprayed with darkness spat out by Dac Nisi not long ago, had long been prepared for this move by the enemy. Holding the sword with his right hand, his left hand pulled violently from the upper right to the lower left.

The tilted moonlight slashed out, severing the slender tongue, leaving cracks on the white wedding dress, and then leaving a huge wound on the corpse.

The wound did not bleed, as if the skin and flesh of this body had already been scorched, and even if it was cut, it was just cut.

Holding the sword with his right hand to continue suppressing, his left hand pressed directly on the other party's face:

"Felliana's Witch Light!"

A brilliant yellow halo spread outward layer by layer from under his hand. Under Xia De's control, the range of the strange art was only the area under his hand.

The cold skin first melted like lard under his palm, followed by the layers of flesh and blood under the skin, until the hard skull. In the time of a single breath, Xia De's hand pressed on the bride's face, like a charcoal fire falling into butter, melted most of this face.

At the same time, pitch-black filthy chains flew out from Xia De's sleeves, winding around the bride's body along her neck. But the corpse bride still did not stop her movements; she abandoned the weapon in her hand and escaped from the chains like an illusory shadow.

That shadow, which seemed to be sliding, retreated dozens of steps, then stood in the middle of the street under the moonlight again, motionless.

"Xia De, look!"

Yiluna pointed to the wound on the corpse slashed by Xia De's moonlight, the wound was repairing, but the speed was not fast.

"Must create a large-scale wound at once to make her stop moving."

Xia De also understood:

"The other party can not only move spatially, but also use shadows, and the corpse itself is extremely hard... Yiluna, can you make her stand in place and keep her motionless for at least three seconds?"

"I can. Although I haven't learned the series of strange arts of that witch's decree, I think I understand the principle. Xia De, only one second!"

As she spoke, the seventeen-year-old girl walked quickly toward the corpse.

Xia De dropped the frog legs and jumped, landing lightly on the roof of the two-story shop along the street. He looked up at the silver moon overhead, then drew intersecting silver light marks in the air in front of him with his arms.

The intersecting moonlight stayed in the air. Xia De calculated the distance and angle, spread his hands, and threw a deck of 54 cards into the night sky. The cards overlapped each other, and under the effect of the strange art 【Treasured Item】, they formed a square about the size of two palms in the air.

"Now!"

The golden Life Ring behind Yiluna melted like molten gold, and reorganized into golden scales behind her:

"Decree!"

She shouted softly, staring wide-eyed at the corpse wearing a veil and a wedding dress under the moon, holding her two hands together, and pointing her middle finger at it:

"Stop!"

Quickly turning to look at the night sky, Xia De under the moon spread his arms and jumped under the moon. He came lightly into mid-air, reached out to press toward the Luo De cards in the high sky, adjusted the direction of his feet with the help of the opposite reaction force, and then pressed down with both hands to kick.

His body tilted and fell, touching the intersecting light marks parked in the air. Then his feet stepped on the center of the intersecting moonlight and tilted downward. Silently, the corpse bride was slashed into four uneven pieces from the right shoulder by the accumulated moonlight falling from the sky.

Xia De's feet landed on the ground, leaving intersecting indentations on the street, while the four pieces of the corpse, neatly cut, actually turned into fly ash and disappeared behind him. Those ashes, like slender streams, flew into the door crack of the closed grocery store.

Xia De did not turn around, but froze looking at the traces on the ground:

"Breath of Time!"

Taking a sudden breath, as the invisible airflow rose from the ground and entered Xia De's nasal cavity, the damaged stone bricks under his feet reversed in time, returning to the complete state of three seconds ago.

Yiluna, who ran over in a hurry, saw this scene but did not say much:

"The other party seems to have disappeared with severe injuries. Taking advantage of this time, let's go in and capture Toby Julian quickly. No matter what that was just now, it absolutely has something to do with the other party!"

【Look at the window on the upper left.】

Xia De looked up at the third-floor window of Mr. Julian's house. The third floor had no lights on. In the dim moonlight, behind the glass window of the corridor, the corpse bride with her veil lifted slowly retreated, her dull eyes and body together, disappearing into the darkness.

"I really hope I don't have nightmares tonight."

Xia De thought this again:

"Third floor, the other party is on the third floor."

The two walked toward the entrance of the grocery store. After Xia De unlocked the door, they broke into the store. Xia De walked in front holding the Moonlight Greatsword, and Yiluna followed vigilantly behind, preventing sneak attacks from the rear.

When the ashes just now flowed in the air, they left extremely faint traces of 【Whisper】 elements. Chasing these traces, the two came from the first floor to the third floor. The third-floor corridor had no lights on. In the dimness, Xia De looked at the position where the corpse bride had just appeared:

"This way, in the room at the end."

The two walked side by side quietly along the corridor toward the inside. Without knocking, Xia De pointed his finger at the door lock. This kind of purely physical door without any protection posed no obstacle to him at all.

Taking a deep breath, Xia De slammed his side into the door, pushing it open. At the same time as he rushed into the room, which was also not lit, a shout came from the wall behind the door:

"No one can stop me, go to hell, you all!"
