Chapter 944 The New Moon Ceremony!
So many years have passed, and the little girl who was saved by the Sword Saint has grown into a graceful young woman.
The image of Sword Saint Zhou Ping wielding his sword to slay a god left a deep imprint on Li Ruodie's mind, one that she could never shake off.
It is for this reason that Li Ruodie's awakened forbidden power is related to the sword.
Many people don't understand why Li Ruodie, who clearly came in first place in the training camp, ultimately chose the bottom-ranked Team 332.
Li Ruodie explained that Anta County is her hometown, and she wants to use the sword in her hand to protect her homeland.
What no one knew was that the Dragon Elephant Sword, which carried Anta County back to its homeland of Great Xia, was taken away by the Sword Saint.
But the sword left behind by the Sword Saint, named Guardian, took root and sprouted in the little girl's heart, growing from a tiny seed to a thriving tree that will eventually become a towering giant...
The sword rises, the sword falls!
The figure, seemingly divine, departed with a sword, while the black goat cub's body was annihilated by the chilling sword energy!
Clang!
Li Ruodie sheathed her sword, and her entire demeanor resembled that of a legendary sword immortal, ethereal and extraordinary.
"Xiaodie, next time we encounter a monster, can I take the damage-dealing position in our Heaven, Earth and Man Three Talents Formation? I also want to experience the thrill of taking down a whiny monster with one punch."
Wang Jiaqi clenched his fists, eager to try.
"Wang Jiaqi, what do you mean by 'encountering monsters again'? Can you please give me your jinxed mouth instead..."
Before Li Ruodie could finish speaking, all three of their walkie-talkies rang simultaneously!
"Xiaodie, Xiaopang, Jiaqi, there's something going on in the village, come quick!"
"Roger that!"
The three of them immediately set off, rushing towards the village!
Li Ruodie used the Orchid Butterfly Dance Cloud-Wandering Steps, her movements graceful and ethereal, leaping back and forth on the tree branches like a snow sprite!
Wang Jiaqi was engulfed in flames, transforming into a streak of fire as he raced forward, only a few minutes slower than Li Ruodie.
Chubby Chen Nan tried hard to keep up with the two guys, but he was already drenched in sweat after only a short time...
"No, no...you two...wait for me..."
……
Black goat calves rampaged through the village, shattering its tranquility. Flames raged everywhere, and cries filled the air, creating a scene resembling a living hell!
A middle-aged woman looked out the window with a tense expression, tightly holding the child in her arms.
Behind her stood a figure draped in a black cloak.
The man was tall, and his face was obscured by a cloak, making him unfathomable.
The man in the black cloak said slowly, "You see? These terrifying monsters devour all living things."
"If you want to live, you must do as I tell you, otherwise, neither you nor the child in your arms will escape..."
The voice in the black cloak was as seductive as a devil's whisper.
The woman, holding the child, immediately knelt before the man in the black cloak and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Please, sage, save me!"
"Please, sage, save me!"
"Save the children!!"
The man in the black cloak slowly said, "Bite your finger and, as I instructed, draw a magic circle on the ground..."
Without hesitation, the woman bit her finger and began to crookedly draw a magic circle on the ground as instructed by the man in the black cloak.
After the magic circle was completed, the man in the black cloak raised his hand and smashed the roof, scaring the woman who was holding her child into screaming and shrinking into a corner.
A beam of moonlight shone down from the roof shattered by the black cloak, landing precisely on the magic circle drawn with blood.
Under the scattered moonlight, the blood magic circle seemed to come alive, and began to writhe incessantly!
The man in the black cloak looked at the woman and said, "Next, begin reciting the incantation I'm about to give you, word by word, and you will receive the protection of the Supreme Mother Goddess."
The woman nodded quickly, looking at the black cloak with great reverence.
"The great and supreme Mother Goddess, the Black Goat of the Forest who gave birth to countless offspring, Shub Nicholas!"
"As your loyal family member, I am willing to give everything, and pray that your blessings will spread throughout the world!"
As the woman finished chanting the incantation, the blood magic circle on the ground began to rotate continuously, flashing an eerie red light!
The hazy moonlight that had been cast began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The woman looked devoutly into the receding moonlight, where the newly risen moon was tinged with an eerie crimson hue…
Under the woman's gaze, the eerie crimson crescent moon resembled a sinister smile, its arc dangerously curved.
If someone with the ability to cause and effect, like Lin Qiye or Gu Tianchen, were present, they would be able to see it clearly.
The causal power within this woman was being frantically devoured as she gazed at the non-existent crescent moon in the sky!
The man in the black cloak nodded with great satisfaction; another new moon ceremony was complete!
boom!
The door to the room was kicked open and smashed towards the black cloak!
The man in the black cloak reacted very quickly, turning around and kicking the wooden door to pieces!
Amidst the flying debris, a red cloaked figure rapidly approached and slashed fiercely at the black cloaked figure!
The man in the black cloak seemed to have known the opponent's attack methods all along. He raised his hand and conjured black threads that wrapped around the Night Watch's standard longsword.
Following these threads of cause and effect, the man in the black cloak had already figured out the identity of the newcomer.
"Lu Yu, captain of the 332nd squad of the Great Xia Night Watchmen in Anta County."
"Your forbidden realm sequence isn't high; the Sea Realm is already the ceiling you can reach in your lifetime..."
"Interesting. You actually have karma related to the Great Xia Emperor of Fengdu? Are you Chen Han's agent?"
"This one is..."
Driven by curiosity, the man in the black cloak touched one of the black threads...
Swish!
A sharp sword aura swept out, instantly severing all the causal threads wrapped around the blade, and Lu Yu regained his freedom of movement!
Lu Yu gripped his straight sword tightly, creating distance between himself and the man in the black cloak, shielding the mother and child behind him...
"It's a very strange ability. It saw through my strength in just one glance, and even saw the cause and effect on me."
"Why don't you just give me your ID number?"
Lu Yu gripped the straight knife in his hand and said in a seemingly casual manner.
The man in the black cloak said slowly, "Captain Lu, stalling for time is useless. The reinforcements you need probably won't arrive."
“Not only in Anta County, but also in all the places, big and small, within the Great Xia territory, the offspring of the Supreme Mother Goddess have descended.”
"To survive, do you think these ordinary people would choose our New Moon Ceremony, or you Night Watchmen who have been silently guarding in the darkness, unknown to the world?"
Lu Yu said coldly, "You think you can subdue the people of Great Xia with these petty tricks? You underestimate the people of Great Xia, and you underestimate the Night Watchmen of Great Xia!"
hum! ! !
Lu Yu grabbed the mother and child behind him and jumped out of the window!
boom! ! !
A violent explosion rang out, and the detached cabin was instantly blasted to pieces by the air cannon!
A dark figure slowly approached...
The surging air currents lifted the black cloak, revealing the monster's true form, causing Lu Yu's pupils to shrink sharply!
