Chapter 689: The Nun Pursuing Sin

Xia De's left hand drew a brilliant arc in the air, and because the enemy's movements were slow, this strike was not blocked.

The moonlight accurately hit the head of the man with a face full of black hair, almost splitting that head into two halves:

"I won... hmm?"

But the pulling force on the Chain of Sin in his right hand did not weaken, and that head flowing with black blood was actually slowly recovering like time flowing backward.

"Damn it, this thing actually has immortality."

Realizing this point, Xia De knew that he really couldn't beat him.

He had already begun to prepare to run away again, and at this time, the astonishing force transmitted from the chain suddenly weakened. After the enemy's head recovered, he actually walked toward him slowly. Because of the imprisonment effect of the 【Chain of Sin】, his pace at this time was even slower than just now.

"I can only take a detour from the corridor at the other end of the stairs."

Xia De pulled the chain in his hand and ran forward. When he felt that he had pulled enough distance, he retracted the chain and then rushed forward quickly.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind, and it was the combination of 【Space Stabilization Halo】 and 【Lagley's Jump】 again. Xia De dodged the flying kitchen knife narrowly.

But the high-intensity battle in succession had already made him feel tired, and at this time it was really...

"No, how can I feel this way when running for my life? Yes, it's 【Sloth】 influencing me."

Fortunately, that feeling of fatigue was not strong, and Xia De still ran forward. After passing the stairwell, on the twisted corridor in front, the fire stars on the blood-red carpet were denser, and the temperature here was also higher. Obviously, the Ringed Shushi who manipulated the flames walked in this direction.

The long corridor was empty without any figure, and the heavy footsteps behind were like messengers of death following closely. The turn of the corridor was just ahead, but the turn actually reflected a red light.

In the burning sound that could be vaguely heard, Xia De also heard the sound of a four-legged animal kicking the ground quickly, and the appearance of this sound indicated that there was a new enemy ahead.

There were pursuers behind, and Xia De had no choice. Holding the 【Leaf of Youth】 in his mouth, holding the sword and walking forward quickly, and what ran out from the other end of the corridor was a hunting dog burning with flames... or rather, a hunting dog that was burned by flames and therefore howling in pain.

Its appearance was exceptionally terrifying; the position of the dog's head was clearly a human face, and the dense milky white bumps on the surface of the pitch-black charcoal-like skin were enough to cause the most instinctive discomfort.

It darted out from the other end of the corridor, howling crazily and pouncing toward Xia De.

The feeling of the sword carrying the body appeared again. The left foot didn't move, the right foot slid to the left rear to dodge, dodging the pounce. The body rotated using the potential energy of the sliding step. When the body returned to upright again, he held the sword with both hands and used the potential energy of the rotation to dance the long sword and slash at the hunting dog in the air.

This sword was accurate and ruthless; what pounced was a complete burning hunting dog, and what landed was two segments of burning corpses.

Solving the enemy so easily was not because Xia De and the sword were too powerful, but because this hunting dog had suffered more serious injuries, and the person who seriously injured it was just on the other side of the turn.

What Xia De saw after bypassing the turn was a burning corridor. The corridor was really burning; the ceiling, walls, ground, with the surging heat waves, the crackling burning sound almost made Xia De mistakenly think that he had left the range of that strange Sin Mansion.

The corpse of a fly as big as a human head strung on the long sword slid to the ground, and the blind nun wearing a gray nun's robe turned around slowly in the flames. The gray-white long hair was not affected by the flames, but instead swayed behind her because of the wind.

That silver crown-style eye mask was facing Xia De. She held a black sickle in her left hand and a gray sword made of stone-like material in her right hand. On the hem of the robe and the two weapons, fire-red embers were flickering with light; this was the power of 【Primordial Fire】 mastered by the nun.

The firelight made everything in front of him blurred, and the uneven heat distorted the air, making that nun who had always been quiet and steady have some strange colors.

She walked toward Xia De, but actually seemed to be sliding above the carpet. Passing by Xia De's side in the firelight, the sparks on the sickle touched the back of Xia De's hand, but it was not hot at all.

And after Xia De turned around, the nun had already confronted the man with a face full of black hair who was also holding two sharp blades at the turn of the corridor.

The long sword in the right hand pulled out a fire-red residual image in the air. Under the horizontal sweep, it cut off the long knife in the man's left hand in one blow. While the man's right-hand kitchen knife slashed over, she retreated as if drifting backward, dodged the slash, and the sickle in her left hand swung down, leaving a deep wound on the opponent's chest.

"Fire."

Xia De heard the nun sigh softly, and then the surface of the gray stone long sword in her right hand appeared with dense cracks. As the firelight appeared from the cracks, the gray stone shell on the surface peeled off, revealing the long sword completely composed of flames.

The sword itself was growing and widening, until it became a greatsword that seemed to be used by a giant.

The nun thrust the sword with one hand, accurately hitting the wound just cut open by the sickle. The blade didn't pierce into the enemy's body, but instead relied on this light strike to make the opponent fly backward with his feet off the ground.

Dancing the sword with one hand, it still seemed like drifting and moving. Every step forward, fire-red light would leave residual images in the air. With Xia De's dynamic vision, he didn't even see clearly how many swords Sister Feilian had swung. He could only see that guy with a face full of black hair being hit by countless firelights in the air.

When he finally hit the wall at the turn of the corridor, he had completely lost his breath.

Of course, this kind of monster has immortality, so it will repair itself after a while, but at least it doesn't constitute a threat now.

The nun held the sickle in her left hand, and the greatsword in her right hand lowered slowly. The flames on the blade contracted and gradually cooled, until that layer of gray stone shell wrapped the sword body again, and only a few sparks could be seen on the sword body.

She turned around slowly. In the light of the fire scene, on the silver crown-style eye mask that was flickering with light, the dense and complex patterns were unexpectedly clearer than ever before. The symbol of vines wrapping around eyes, and ancient runes hidden in the corners of the crown along with the stretching leaves, this eye mask was simply a work of art.

Xia De raised his hand to take off his mask to say hello, but realized that for Sister Feilian, it made no difference whether he wore a mask or not:

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."

It was the nun who took the initiative to say hello, and Xia De also breathed a sigh of relief:

"Good morning, Sister Feilian, I didn't expect to meet you here. Shall we leave together? I already know that there is an exit in the underground wine cellar."

"I still have some things to do, I came here for some fire seeds."

She shook her head slightly, and then asked:

"Do you know where the owner of the manor is? They won't tell me."

"On the third floor, but I suggest you don't go over. If you just want to find a trader who can trade, I suggest you go to the second floor."

He told the location of the room where he met the blood-sucking species:

"Then I wish you luck, I will leave from the underground wine cellar first. Speaking of which, I have some things to talk to you about in a while."

This refers to the boundary of the third floor of Saint Theresa Square No. 6.

"I will wait for you outside after leaving the 【Sin Mansion】."

"Okay."

The nun nodded slightly, and then walked toward the direction Xia De came from. With her walking, the corridor that had already extinguished the flames ignited a big fire again, but those flames had no effect on the nun who had traces of embers on her body.

And the reason why Xia De didn't suggest going with the nun was that this place was really not suitable for him to wander around. The danger of the fishbone pirate ship lies in the choice in the middle and the cabin at the end, and now the 【Sin Mansion】 has dangers everywhere.

"However, the gray stone long sword in Sister Feilian's hand, I remember Grandma Cassandra said, the name is 【Ash】, and like 【Night Watcher】, it is a Sage-level relic, and that sword seems to be able to be used in conjunction with Sister Feilian's 【Primordial Fire】. As expected of the leader of a large organization, Sister Feilian really has a lot of good things."

With this thought, Xia De walked quickly along the corridor that was still burning that the nun came from, toward the entrance of the wine cellar. ===== CHAPTER 690 =====
