I can go back to the mysterious age.

Chapter 658 "The Sword of Despair and Fear" (4500)

"The position of the fifth Austrian musical note has been moved."

The Holy Lion Simu, one of the four kings of the Golem Sect, is performing a mission in the United States of Anna. He led a team and followed Kaxiu's will to find the last remaining rune of the five cornerstones of the Aoyin civilization.

Its rune shape is the outline of two overlapping eyes with double pupils.

On the island in the middle of the lake, Ka Xiu was sitting cross-legged, with four points on the outline of his tall body glowing slightly. The back of the right hand, the back of the left hand, the shoulder of the left arm, and the center of the chest. Life, death, nature, and spirit are all under his control, except for the last missing piece of the puzzle.

Once the five runes are gathered together, Kaxiu will have the means and confidence to target Xiadu. This is the last theoretical insurance. Otherwise, it would be extremely funny if he could kill or even destroy the Xia Capital itself, but could not prevent Xia Capital from returning to the concept of disaster. It is equivalent to taking the initiative to let the boss start the second stage and fall into a more difficult battle.

"Oyinwen, Oyinskalo..."

Ka Xiu's whole body was shrouded in the golden sunlight, muttering to himself.

"I really don't know where this mysterious Oyin civilization has gone now. After ten thousand years have passed, Oyinskalo should have come to many worlds invaded by disasters, leaving behind five Like a cornerstone rune, sowing the fire of resistance. Maybe there will be a chance to meet them in the future, but now we should focus on the present..."

The day before, February 19th, night.

South Island, United States of Anna, Pennsylvania.

Huangmu City, in the northern suburbs, has a Douglas fir forest.

Douglas fir, also called South Key yellow fir, is also the origin of the name Yellowwood City. This kind of Douglas fir, with leopard-patterned bark, is a tall tree that can grow up to 100 meters and is found along the coast from north to south.

Therefore, this forest is extremely empty and thick. The tall tree crowns block the moonlight and cast large shadows, making the ground not so light. The vast but relatively closed woodland space gives people a sense of immediate vision of an empty valley, secluded forest, deep mountain and old forest, and feels extremely depressing.

Walking in this forest at night. There was a rustle in the grass, and there was the sound of unknown animals crawling. The breeze blows, and the leaves and branches flap against each other, clattering like waves piling up. Looking up, I saw thick and towering yellow fir trees rising from the ground, stretching all the way to the sky.

It looks like giants standing quietly on the ground.

"Quick, quick, follow closely!"

Next to a thick yellow fir tree, a well-proportioned and powerful man waved to the back and shouted in a low voice. The sound of trekking was heard in the grass, and branches, leaves and roots were torn off from time to time.

"Joy, you move too fast, I can't keep up with you..."

A beautiful woman wearing office workers' clothes came out of the grass panting, and took the man's hand.

"Sorry, Yulia, I shouldn't have involved you in this matter. You are just an ordinary person, and this is too dangerous for you..."

Joey hugged Yulia with some regret, the two were a couple.

"Joy, you must tell me what you know."

"There shouldn't be secrets between lovers, right?" Even at night, Yulia's eyes were bright, staring at her boyfriend with her big eyes.

"Okay, okay. But you must not reveal it to others..."

Joey raised his hands and finally chose to explain the truth.

His identity is not simple. On the surface, he is just a deputy manager of a bank, but in fact he is an exorcist. And he is the son of the president of the Association of Exorcists in the Southeastern United States of Anna. They have been dealing with the bad guys lurking in human society. It is a kind of monster, a monster that eats human souls. Some people call them evil spirits, but the Exorcist Association prefers to call them nightmares. Nightmares feed on people's fears.

Plant a mark of fear on people, and then slowly torture them until they die.

The souls born in such an environment of extreme fear are the most delicious.

Since his birth, Joey has followed his father to learn how to use the blood power in his body, control source energy, and practice exorcism techniques. After becoming an adult, he joined in actual combat and continued to solve tasks assigned by the Exorcist Association. And his superficial identity is just his disguise. Every time a mission requires Joey to arrive in a city, the Exorcist Association will help him arrange an identity. Investigate strange cases until they are solved.

In the past two or three years, the quantity and quality of the Pennsylvania Nightmare group have increased significantly for unknown reasons, causing many tragedies. So Joey and his companions were arranged to live here permanently to find out the reason for the abnormal activity of the nightmare group. It was during this period of settling down that Joey met Yulia, and the two soon fell in love.

As time passed, Joey gradually discovered the reason why the nightmare group gathered towards Pennsylvania. It was this place he came to tonight, deep in the Douglas woods on the northern outskirts of Yellowwood City.

The nightmares seemed to be looking for an ancient ruins. And deep in the ruins, there is what they are looking for, a legendary treasure.

"The Sword of Despair and Fear"

Nightmares are monsters that play with fear, and are born masters of despair. If they get the Sword of Despair and Fear, what's the point? I'm afraid the entire east coast of the United States of Ana is ungovernable!

Joey naturally reported the situation to the Exorcist Association headquarters.

The Exorcist Association also gathered strength half a month ago. Fighting forces scattered everywhere arrived in Huangmu City one after another, waiting for a grand operation.

Tonight, Joey, as usual, observed the movements of humans controlled by nightmares. Unexpectedly, they actually took action at this moment. What's worse is that because the number of nightmares in that area is too dense, Yulia was planted with a fear mark without knowing when and became the prey of a certain nightmare. Joey panicked as soon as he learned about it.

The fear mark will continue to devour the spirit of the marked person. Only by killing the nightmare that planted the mark in person can it be lifted.

He absolutely cannot sit back and watch his girlfriend die little by little in the future.

Therefore, Joey made an exception and brought Yulia, an ordinary person, into this exorcist association's operation. I hope that in the ensuing fights and battles, I can find the nightmare and kill it face to face to exorcise the demon.

Only in this way can Yulia return to a peaceful life.

Under the shadow of a tall yellow fir tree, the lovers embraced each other and felt each other's beating heartbeats. Joey patted Yulia on the back.

"Don't be afraid, leave the rest to me."

"I will find the nightmare that planted the mark of fear."

"Even if I can't do it, I will beg my father to help me..."

Joey, who had always been quite rebellious due to his strict upbringing, felt for the first time how lucky he was to have such a strong and reliable father.

Deep in the Douglas forest, there is a half-collapsed cave entrance.

Figures in gray robes were busy going back and forth. The huge ritual rail formed a half-moon shape, covering the surrounding area of ​​fifty to one hundred meters. Within this range, human bones pale in the moonlight were inserted into key nodes, and scarlet blood connected the white bones.

This is the mysterious ritual of the nightmares. Eighty-one specially selected human lives are used to assist the desperate fire oil before the death of the living beings, forming an induction ceremony. After igniting, the position of that Noble Phantasm can be locked.

"Speed ​​up, this ritual will be launched at zero o'clock."

A nightmare that looked like a leader, a hoarse and terrifying voice came from under the hood. After a few seconds, it suddenly took off its hat, revealing a strange head. It was clearly a human face, but its surface was covered with a cloud of illusory black smoke. The smoke constantly transformed into evil spirits, demons, and monsters.

Even the faces of men, women, old and young screaming in pain.

This is the Nightmare, a semi-parasitic dark creature. After they devour the host's life and soul, they will gain part of their physical qualities. When the nightmare comes to a new host, the new body can be given a terrifying blessing, combined with the nightmare's own mental abilities.

The potential of their clan is not inferior even to that of the werewolf clan.

"Remember, no matter what comes close to the Blood Soul Ceremony, kill them all without mercy!" The leader Nightmare snorted coldly, with a ferocious expression: "Exorcist Association, do you think I don't know that you have been tracking the traces of our Nightmare clan? Today you are If you dare to come, I will send you to death..."

Outside the Douglas Grove, figures wearing white shirts and black vests, looking like hunting attire and gangster attire, gradually approached. There are many of them, holding short knives in their left hands and holding a pocket glass ball in their right hands. Cold and silent, as if waiting for something.

In front, a tall figure with a black suit draped over his shoulders, holding a cane in his left hand, reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a silver lighter. There was a snap, flames lingered, and he lit the end of the cigarette.

The man stood in the darkness, a little red light burning, and smoke billowing. "Carter, you lead a group of people and cooperate with the police to seal off the entire forest. Don't let people outside enter or people inside escape." The man turned his head and looked at a figure on his left.

"Understood." The figure nodded.

"The remaining people, enter combat mode and turn on the exorcism mode..."

"Today, we are going to play a big one!"

The man laughed softly, then led the team and rushed into the forest.

*************************************

Half an hour later, on the outskirts of Yellowwood City, outside the yellowwood forest.

As if they had agreed, the two figures came to an iconic boulder. One is wearing a gray robe, the other is wearing a black robe. The steps were extremely fast, as if flickering and moving, and suddenly appeared.

"Carlo, you are on time."

The black-robed figure said, he had been waiting for some time.

"Vinson, I will never be late for this matter."

The gray-robed figure came to the boulder step by step and stopped.

Under the white moonlight, the two took off their hoods at the same time. Suddenly, two faces that looked slightly older but still looked majestic and powerful were revealed.

If there were masters from the secret martial arts community on the east coast of the United States of Ana who were watching here, they would definitely scream in surprise. Because these two people were once famous people. Carlo of the Burning Fist and Vincent of the Blood Hand are both the first elders of the large sect. They once served as the leader of the sect, but now they have stepped down to serve as the foundation of the sect. Yes, both of them have the strength of top fighters.

Twenty or thirty years ago, they fell in love and killed each other, they were both enemies and friends, and they even had the vague reputation of being an unparalleled pair of prides. Their legends are prevalent in the secret martial arts world.

In front of the boulder, Carlo and Vincent chatted like they were reminiscing about old times.

"This is probably the third time we have joined forces after discovering the ruins of the cave nine years ago. There are so many dangers inside. Even top fighters can get caught if they are not careful. After three cooperations, we only got through. The first floor of the ruins, I don’t know if I can…”

Burning Fist Carlo sighed, seeming to be recalling something.

"Just the first level has brought many foundations and benefits to our sect. Those items with aura of fear, regardless of their own value, are already beyond comparison in terms of tempering the will of the disciples. It’s worth it. In the past nine years, the success rate of the new generation of disciples under your school and my school has increased significantly, and they have frequently achieved excellent results in the league..."

Blood Hand Vincent shook his head and continued.

"I really don't know what kind of treasures there will be on the last floor of that ruins? I won't be able to rest in peace if I don't take a look..."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them headed towards the woods in the distance.

Soon, they came to the yellow cedar forest.

When they were quite close, the two men suddenly stopped.

In front of him, he saw figures in hunting attire blocking the road. Next to it, there was even police assistance, and torches flickered.

"Who? Who's there!?"

Members of the Exorcist Association rushed over immediately. Some people were holding daggers in their hands, while others were holding glass balls, and they glanced over with scrutinizing eyes.

Carlo and Vincent remained motionless, as if they were in shock.

"Leave immediately! There is a murder scene ahead! Stay back!"

These exorcists in hunting attire were pressing forward step by step, scolding.

Less than two meters apart in front of them, Carlo and Vincent slowly raised their heads, looking across the gap in the exorcist's body, and suddenly looked at the darkness behind them: "Friend... your domineering aura is not suitable for hiding..."

"What friend? I told you to leave immediately, didn't you hear me?"

Several demon hunters frowned and tried to drive them away by force.

Not far away, in the mountains and forests, in the dark shadows. A figure as strong as a lion walked out slowly with heavy steps. The moonlight shone down, outlining the tall outline of the body, the high bridge of the nose, and the long golden hair that looked like a lion's mane and was draped on the shoulders.

On the shoulders, two golden rivets stuck the short cape behind him.

The cloak fluttered up and down, vaguely revealing the magic words on the back.

His whole body was expressionless, and his handsome face was like a statue.

"Tell me the location of the ruins and I will let you two live..."

The tone was ordinary, but there was a ferocity and chill in it.

"Haha, good boy!"

Carlo's expression fell, with a sneer.

"This is the first time in the entire east coast secret martial arts world that someone dares to talk to me like this!" Vincent took off his hood, revealing a strong face.

Three powerful figures were facing each other from afar in two directions.

A kind of solemn invisible aura is constantly colliding in mid-air.

"Hey what's going on! How did you end up in the woods? Come out quickly! There is a murder scene inside. Do you want to go to jail?"

On the left side of Saint Lion Simu, two demon hunters ran over quickly.

There was also a policeman following behind, obviously here to support him.

However, Saint Lion Simu, Burning Fist Carlo, and Blood Hand Vincent all ignored the movement next to them. They only had each other in sight.

"Then let's try it...how much do you weigh?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Carlo and Vincent at the same time, and they rushed out in an instant, with fiery red and blood red energy erupting from their bodies.

The holy lion Simu left an afterimage in place, and his power increased dramatically at the same time!

Bang! ! !

A violent gust of wind spread out, blowing away the exorcists and police officers nearby. Someone was unlucky enough to hit a tree and fainted on the spot.

The sand and rocks are flying, and the leaves are falling like rain.

Boom boom boom boom!

Three astonishingly strong figures struggled wildly, breaking countless yellow fir trees nearly 100 meters high, and plunged straight into the depths of the forest. Astonishingly, a tunnel visible to the naked eye was dug out.

"They, who are they?"

On the spot, only a few demon hunters were left standing stupidly, their eyes filled with tears and dizzy due to the strong wind. He was stunned and jaw-dropped as he stared at the three people disappearing in the distance and the shocking traces of destruction they left behind.
