Chapter 741: Ritual Sword and Sunlight Ray

Seeing the black mist bombs flying over, and knowing he couldn't dodge in time, Xia De simply stopped his steps. He extended his left hand forward, and the flying red butterflies gathered into a crimson shield, blocking the first round of attacks. Then his right hand swung the sword forward rapidly, and while silver light splashed out, the 【Night Watcher】 accurately broke every black mist ball. And when the last sword was swung, the pitch-black sword light broke the white fog, melted the black mist, and was finally held by Earl Dalak with one hand.

The sword light and the Earl were deadlocked for a short two seconds before the sword light dissipated, and the Earl's right hand completely melted, but it soon grew back again. This was of course not without a price; his body became more and more transparent.

"If you become completely transparent, will you completely lose your sanity? Since that's the case, I won't waste time either."

Xia De said, and as he dropped the long sword in his hand, loud bell ringing and whistle sounds came from the white fog behind him.

The scorching steam fog merged with the surrounding white fog, but the huge brass ring in the white fog became clearer and clearer as if it were drifting from afar.

Four-colored spiritual light shone, and as Xia De moved forward, the large life ring followed closely behind:

"Earl, then we don't have to waste time; please leave!"

As if responding to Xia De's words, the Earl, who was swollen like a corpse ghost, let out a miserable roar again. The black mist wrapped around him swept toward Xia De like tentacles, but as the runes of the great sin flashed with spiritual light, the 【Sin Chains】 flying out from the sleeve swept across, cutting those black mists one by one.

The ghost-face black mist bombs shot out again, and this time 54 Luo De cards flew out automatically from Xia De's pocket like flying knives. Attached with the power of the red butterfly, the paper cards in the sky collided with the flying black mist bombs. With the help of the red butterfly, the hardness of the paper cards could briefly contend with those black mists possessing the power of the Narrowed Space.

Chains, black mist, paper cards, red butterflies, and black gas intersected in the air, and the spiritual light on the life ring dispersed the thick white fog.

Seeing Xia De walking forward step by step, Earl Dalak, floating in the air, finally couldn't hold back. Carrying the black mist, he rushed toward Xia De holding the sword from the air. The attack from top to bottom already had considerable deterrent power, but Xia De was not panicked.

He watched the Earl getting closer and closer, accumulated the huge spiritual energy in his body, raised his right hand holding the sword, and pressed his index finger on the sword body:

"Silver..."

His brows frowned and inspiration came, the spiritual light of 【Silver Moon】 that was flashing with extreme spiritual light dimmed, while the enlightenment spiritual light of 【Witch's Light】 flickered suddenly:

"Sunlight Ray!"

The rich warm light representing the noon sun accumulated at his fingertips, but that positive energy light did not shoot out from his fingertips, but spread toward the 【Night Watcher】. The good compatibility between the demon-slaying sword and sunlight made the silver sword emit a scorching light like the sun.

That light gathered at one point at the tip of the sword, and as Xia De stabbed forward with both hands holding the sword, a huge sunlight ray beam shot out like a light cannon. The light cannon hit the black mist wrapped around the Earl head-on, and the black mist in the sunlight melted rapidly like encountering a natural enemy, revealing Earl Dalak who had almost completely turned into a corpse ghost.

His skin melted rapidly, but death could only overcome death. Relying on his strong immortality, when Xia De, who was panting, put down the long sword in his hand, the Earl just fell to the ground and could still climb up.

"The enhancement of 【Night Watcher】 to sunlight is much stronger than to moonlight, right?"

The consumption of that "sunlight light cannon" just now was a bit too much even for Xia De. As an angel-level relic that could be on the same level as Grace and Helen, the biggest characteristic of 【Night Watcher】 was actually serving as a spellcasting medium to enhance supernatural power. But as a sword against evil, its enhancement effect on different wonders was clearly different.

It was not that the concept of "silver moon" was not righteous, but that the concept of "sunlight" itself was too righteous.

Like a high-degree scald, Earl Dalak, who was now struggling to climb up, held that rapier that was about to break and rushed toward Xia De again. Hit head-on by the "Sunlight Ray", under his melted skin, he actually revealed the appearance that originally belonged to a human.

His sanity seemed to have recovered a bit, but he still chose to continue the duel. That rapier stabbed Xia De's chest accurately and ruthlessly, and Xia De raised his hand to push it aside with his sword. The left hand, which was empty, swung and slashed, and as his arm fell, the bright yellow long sword cut off the right hand of Earl Dalak holding the rapier.

Clang~ the rapier fell to the ground, the Earl retreated holding his broken hand, and the broken hand recovered to normal rapidly.

Xia De did not stop there. The yellow moonlight greatsword in his left hand dissipated into light spots, he took a step forward and took a deep breath, and all the power of the original death belonging to him gathered in his left hand.

"Soul Echo..."

The 【Heart Crystal Ring】 on his left hand was actually dyed black in an instant:

"Guide Death..."

The spiritual light behind the life ring exploded to the extreme, this blow would be the final blow:

"Mind Blast!"

The swung left fist made a sonic boom in the air, but because of the white fog, it did not spread very far. The soul power and mental power were vented, causing illusory afterimages to appear on Xia De's fist.

This punch hit Earl Dalak's chest head-on, and with the sound of an explosion, the Earl flew backward and fell to the ground, completely motionless.

He lay there facing upward, and white ash kept drifting upward from his illusory body.

Xia De, who was panting, leaned on his sword to rest for a while before walking over:

"Combined with Priest Augustus, I am still very powerful."

The life ring slowly hid in the surrounding white fog. Apart from the depression on the ground, the broken stone bricks, the withered big trees, and the lawn that was almost leveled, no one would know what had happened here.

Xia De carried the 【Night Watcher】 and walked to the Earl's side. Because of the effect of the combined wonder, before dissipating completely, the Earl recovered to the appearance of a living person.

He stared at the sky with bulging eyes and did not make any movement when he heard footsteps.

"Still not reconciled?"

Xia De asked softly.

"If you suddenly died of illness and got a chance to live again, would you be reconciled to leaving again?"

The Earl asked, his voice weak and hoarse.

Xia De shook his head, but the Earl who was lying down could not see this action.

He bent down and reached out, grabbing the Earl's cold arm. White ash flowed out from his palm, drifting toward the horizon that could not be seen.

Xia De pulled the Earl up:

"Finish the last card game; now it's the second game, the total score is 1 to 0, and the second game score is 2 to 1. Next, it's Mr. Watson's decisive round."

"I'm about to die, and you actually say this to me?"

The Earl looked like he wanted to laugh but also wanted to cry, but he saw that Xia De's expression was very serious, not like he was joking.

Xia De looked into his eyes and asked very seriously:

"Could it be that you don't want to play Luo De cards? Before leaving, finish this game?"

The Earl was stunned for a moment, and then actually nodded with some relief:

"Yes, this game should be finished."

He seemed to have really figured it out at this moment.

Xia De wanted to lend his spare deck to the Earl, but footsteps came from the direction of the building behind him. It was Priest Augustus supporting the old butler who looked younger than him, walking out of the fog.

"Young Master Lawrence, your deck is here."

The old butler, who was crying, handed the deck to the Earl, and Xia De also sat down, waving his hand to let the paper cards flying in the sky return to his hand one by one, pulling out afterimages.

The two sat on the ground, no need to shuffle the cards, and no need to pick out the other cards that had already been used in this game. Both of them got their first dark card, and then the Earl, whose body had begun to become transparent, got his second card first. Seeing that it was Flower 13, he lifted the bottom card and looked at it, and a weak smile appeared on his face:

"I stop, I am 21 points."

He did not flip over the bottom card.

"Earl, do you want to bluff me? I noticed that you didn't flip over the bottom card."

"Why flip it over? I chose to stop, but before you choose to continue or stop, I have the right not to flip over the bottom card."

This indeed conformed to the rules, but card players who did this usually used the technique of "bluffing".

"No, you must flip over the bottom card."

Xia De, who had already got his second card, avoided the direction of the old butler and showed the card face to Earl Dalak of Campbell. The Earl looked at the card face, and his expression froze. Then the smile that appeared on his face was a smile truly from the heart:

"So it was you. My wish has actually come true."

【Big City Player · 1853 Tobesk Champion】, Suit: Star 12. When drawing this card, you have the right to view one dark card of the opponent that has not been flipped over.

When he threw the paper cards just now, he threw the deck with special cards.

Xia De flipped over the bottom card for the Earl who was already almost unable to move, but the bottom card was not 8 points, but Moon 5, totaling only 18 points.

"Sure enough, you were bluffing me."

Xia De said softly, then checked his bottom card, which was actually Sun 9.

"Totaling 21 points, John Watson won three rounds first and won the second game. The score is 2 to 0, and Mr. Watson won."

The priest announced, and Earl Dalak shook his head slightly, looking into the white fog, the young man whose face seemed a bit blurred. He had reached the limit of his life, and even his soul was about to leave. And at this last moment, he actually felt trance-like that the person sitting in front of him didn't look like a person, but some kind of indescribable terrifying existence:

"21 points again, you are really blessed by the God of Gambling... I admit defeat, that 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Sleeping Princess】 belongs to you, this is not burying it..."

He reached out to Xia De, and Xia De then helped him up. The Earl's weight now was about five or six Mia cats.

"Mr. Hans, you have worked hard for so many years."

The Earl said to the old butler:

"After I leave, don't make things difficult for these two gentlemen. The family's property and title should be distributed according to the will; fortunately, I still have an illegitimate child. Thank you for your care for so many years..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and Xia De also felt that the weight leaning on him was about to disappear completely. 【741-

"I understand, I understand... You were supposed to leave this spring, and being able to return briefly now is already a blessing from God."

The old butler lowered his head and wiped away his tears.

Watching this scene, Xia De suddenly frowned. He turned his head toward Priest Ao Gu Si and gave him a very subtle nod:

"You do it."

His lips moved, but he made no sound. The priest actually understood lip-reading; although he did not know why Xia De wanted him to do this, he still unobtrusively came behind the Count and gently patted the Count's back. The outline of the Count's transparent body completely dissipated, and the white ash drifted toward the sky, drifting toward that distant place.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth. May God protect your soul..."

The old butler hung his head low, large drops of tears falling at his feet; Priest Ao Gu Si drew the holy emblem on his chest, closed his eyes, and prayed in a low voice; Xia De thrust his sword into the soil before him, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the sky shrouded in white fog.

Sister Daifulin burned the first nail Xia De brought, and Joey Barton took away the second nail on the ice lake that had been defeated by Xia De. Now, the third nail, through Xia De's efforts, had also been successfully removed by Priest Ao Gu Si.
