Chapter 362 Rescue and Treatment
An exploding fireball as big as an adult's head flew towards the pile of firewood soaked in kerosene, causing Gate, who had just rushed out of the crowd and ran into several fully armed guards, to feel despair and let out a painful cry.

"Do not!!!"

He was completely helpless at this moment and had no chance to use the seal to accurately extinguish the fire. Even if he used it forcibly, he would be intercepted on the spot by the guard in front of him wearing anti-magic armor.

But the next moment, he saw a strange scene. Although the fireballs collided with the firewood pile, no sparks were produced. The firewood doused with kerosene seemed to be non-combustible and did not react at all.

"Ok?"

The old man in black robe who used the fireball technique was shocked when he saw this. He raised his hand and wanted to make another fireball to see what was going on. However, as soon as he raised his arm, he found that a masked man in black had rushed into his side within five meters of him. He had a long knife in his hand, and his cold murderous intent was not concealed at all.

"Guard! Guard!"

Seeing this, the old man directly launched the huge fireball he had just prepared at the attacking man in black, then quickly retreated with his old legs, while not forgetting to call on the guards around him to protect him.

The main reason was that this enemy appeared too strangely and was too close to him, so he needed the help of his guards to get the time and space to cast a counterattack spell.

But then he saw the huge fireball he had released was chopped in half by a knife from the man in black who was rushing towards him. Then the man in black rushed straight towards him without any guards to help intercept him.

"what happened!"

The old man in black robe was a little surprised when he saw this. It was difficult for him to understand what those loyal guards who usually practiced every day were doing at the moment, so he knew he could not escape, so he quickly used a protective spell to surround his body and scanned the figures around him.

All the guards were around him, but they seemed to be petrified, motionless like stones. No wonder no one came to protect him just now.

And at a farther distance, the man in a hooded cloak who rushed out of the crowd was fighting with the captain of the guards and two ordinary guards with a long sword.

His agility was clearly superior to those of the kingdom's soldiers, and his swordsmanship was extremely precise and mature. He pierced the throat of an ordinary guard in one encounter, and then fought the remaining two alone.

However, the strength of the captain of the guards is not comparable to that of ordinary guards. It will take some time for the hooded man to deal with or get rid of them.

Just as the old man in black robe finished observing the situation around him, the man in black who rushed towards him slashed at his neck with a long knife.

However, the old man was not too panicked, because he had already used a protective spell to protect himself. The spell was called "Blade Guard", which was a spell specially developed for close combat with sharp weapons. It could withstand high-intensity physical attacks in a short period of time.

when!
Sure enough, the man in black chopped down with his knife, but before it touched his neck, it was blocked by a layer of metallic light that emerged in front of him, making a sound like hammering iron.

"Shock and Deterrence!"

The old man in black robe seized this opportunity and used a control spell on the man in black who rushed in front of him. He had to restrain this enemy, otherwise the sword blade protection would be forcibly broken if it was hit too many times, and he would end up being hacked to death.

"Killing! Killing!"

"Someone is here to rescue the witch!"

"Go report to the mayor!"

……

Around the fierce battle, the citizens who were originally watching made chaotic and noisy noises. These people did not dare to get involved in the bloody battle. Most of them fled in all directions, and the chaos was almost to the point where people trampled on each other. However, there were a few who were brave enough to watch the excitement and chose to stay and watch from a distance.

Wang Zhifan's real body was still in the original place at this time, that is, the outermost edge of the crowd. He rode on a red deer horse, passed the chaotic crowd below, and looked around the stake nearly a hundred meters ahead, judging to what extent this battle should proceed.

"That old man's strength is pretty good. Let the clone play with him for a while longer and squeeze out complete combat data. We should be able to defeat Gate, but we're a little slow."

It turned out that Wang Zhifan had intentionally sent his clone to fight the old man in black robe. If he wanted to get rid of this man as soon as possible, he could use a power similar to the source of ice to kill him instantly. The reason why he controlled most of the guards and let the clone fight him alone was to put enough pressure on him to force out more combat information, which could be stored in the tower later to maximize its value.

"Considering the arrangements later...it seems better for me to rescue those two people?"

Then Wang Zhifan thought about the follow-up arrangements. He had an incomplete idea in his mind, but he could give it a try after all.

So he, who was originally watching and assisting the battle from a distance, suddenly appeared in person. His figure directly crossed the space and appeared in front of the stake. Then he cut the ropes with two knives, causing the two women tied up on it to fall down.

He reached out and grabbed one at a time to prevent the two poor creatures from falling onto the firewood pile below and getting into any accidents. However, this close contact also made him notice that the two women were in quite serious physical condition. They must have been severely tortured before being burned at the stake. Not only were their tongues cut, but they also had many other terrible injuries. Even if they were rescued, they would not survive long.

"Ladies, please hold on, my Lord will save you."

In view of this, Wang Zhifan put them on the ground and helped them stand steadily while speaking to them.

Both ladies looked very weak and almost fell down as they took unsteady steps, but the tears in their eyes and the continuous grunting sounds coming from their mouths showed that they were very emotional and wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

Of course, it was impossible for Wang Zhifan to support them the whole way away, so he chose to activate his spatial ability and move with them to the direction of two horses in the distance, and put them on the back of Gate's old horse.

His series of actions took place in a very short period of time. Although the people in the battle noticed it, they were unable to interfere. Instead, they were shocked by the way he teleported away.

As soon as Gate saw that the target had been rescued, he immediately turned around and retreated. The captain of the guard and another guard who were fighting with him did not choose to intercept him because they found that the enemy this time seemed to be beyond their cognition and not something they could deal with.

The old man in black robe who was fighting with Wang Zhifan's clone almost forgot that there was an enemy beside him. He stared blankly at Wang Zhifan's departing figure for half a second. This was because as a magic professional, he knew very well what the ability displayed by the enemy just now meant.

For a moment, these people all thought of letting the enemy leave and then reporting the intelligence to the kingdom’s top leaders to take action. However, what they didn’t know was that this was the last time in their lives.

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
There was a series of dull explosions. All the people directly involved in the burning, including the old man in black robes and the chief guard, exploded and turned into ice crystals. The entire surface of the stake was covered with frozen human debris. Even some areas far away from the stake had the same situation. Those were the few people who liked to watch the fun, so Wang Zhifan took special care of them and cleared them out. "We need to leave this city as soon as possible."

The demon hunter Gate rushed to where Wang Zhifan was within two seconds after the explosion and jumped onto his heavily loaded old horse. While speaking, he did not forget to check the situation of the two women on the horse and nodded to one of them.

But Wang Zhifan did not accept his suggestion and quickly replied:
"No need to leave. Find a secluded place nearby to rest. Do you know a suitable place?"

"Is this...really possible?"

When Gate heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this man, whom he had just met but was very familiar with, would choose to stay here.

"Their bodies can't stand too much torture. I need to find a place to pray for the blessing of my Lord so that they can be cured as soon as possible."

Wang Zhifan immediately gave an explanation. When he finished these two sentences, he could see excitement flashing in the eyes of the two women who were barely sitting on the horse. It seemed that they were also very clear about the condition of their bodies. Wang Zhifan's words meant that there was still hope of survival.

"Then let's go to the hotel I mentioned before. It's relatively hidden, and their boss and I'm familiar with them."

Gate quickly figured out where to go.

"Okay, just point me in the direction and I'll help shorten the journey."

Wang Zhifan then followed the demon hunter's instructions and used his spatial ability to continuously transfer their positions. This was not only faster but also more covert.

A minute or two later, the four of them and their two horses arrived at a remote neighborhood and entered an inconspicuous alley. Then Gate knocked on the door of a small hotel and helped the two women in first.

Seeing that the place was not very spacious, Wang Zhifan first unsummoned the Red Deer Horse and then entered the inn to carry out follow-up matters.

After he came in, he found that there was a different world here. The small hotel outside was just a disguise. The main body of the hotel was located underground, with multiple areas such as the casino and the entertainment industry, as well as very secluded private guest rooms. No wonder Gate suggested coming here to rest.

At this time, in an underground room, Gate was holding one of the rescued women. In this temporarily safe environment, he could express his emotions.

"Elena, everything is over! The king will definitely find a way to heal you! Then we will take revenge on those people together!"

Since the tongues of the two women had been cut off, they could not talk to each other. It was only Gate who said words of comfort, and the woman named Elena could only listen and cry. The same was true for the other woman who was rescued. She felt that although her life did not recover after being rescued, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that Gate and the woman had almost finished talking and their emotions were brewing, Wang Zhifan started his work.

He walked up to the two women and said solemnly:
"Ladies, I am deeply saddened by what you have gone through... But please rest assured that I will try to pray to my Lord for a miracle to heal you completely."

"Wang, can they really recover completely?"

Gate, who was standing by, immediately asked after hearing this.

Mainly in his understanding, the injuries suffered by the two women from severe torture were difficult to heal, and perhaps only the legendary top power could do it. But the problem is that the extraordinary power is now declining, and there is no one strong enough to help them, but the young man in front of him seems very confident.

"Yes, it can be done as long as my Lord answers my prayer."

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan immediately answered in a firm tone, then took two steps back and began the ceremony.

I saw him find a candle from somewhere, stretch out a finger to light it instantly, then hold the candle in his right hand at the height of his forehead, stare at the candlelight, and use his left hand to draw fixed shapes on his chest. Specifically, he was writing the word "Ren".

These actions were all thought up by him on the spur of the moment, and their main purpose was to make people feel that he was really performing some ritual and praying to some existence.

Of course, in addition to the ritual movements, prayers are also very necessary. Wang Zhifan kept chanting at this moment:

"Great Lord! You are the embodiment of mercy! Those who suffer will surely receive your salvation!"

"Merciful Lord! You are the master of heaven! All the power of light will bless the most loyal believers!"

……

After a somewhat tedious and empty speech, Wang Zhifan, without waiting for Gate and the other two women to figure out what was going on, truly activated the strongest power he had mastered through the Badge of the Lord of the Universe, the power of the law of time.

He set his target of change to the two women in front of him, and then by reversing the passage of time, the various injuries in their bodies gradually disappeared and recovered to their original state, especially their severed tongues, which also returned from the past, restoring them to their best condition.

When the two women found that the pain in their bodies was quickly disappearing and a part of their mouths appeared out of thin air, their faces were instantly covered with tears and they let out uncontrollable cries of pain.

This is an expression of extreme excitement. No words can express their current feelings, only tears can explain it.

"It really worked... This is a miracle... It's the great power of miracles!"

The demon hunter Gate, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but exclaim. He had thought that the treatment Wang Zhifan mentioned would be discounted, but he had never expected that the recovery would be so thorough, completely beyond the scope of conventional treatment and reaching the realm of miracle.

"You two are very lucky! My Lord has answered my prayers! It seems that you are the lucky ones favored by my Lord! I really need to introduce you to the grace of my Lord..."

Wang Zhifan also took the opportunity to introduce his faith to these people.

This may sound a bit abrupt, but considering that he has only known them for a day and has displayed strength far beyond the ordinary, it is easy to justify the source of the power by attributing it to a mysterious existence. Moreover, people with this worldview can easily understand such things and can't help but believe it.
