----------------------------
"You?!"
"You are?!"
"The Archbishop of the Divine Punishment Sect - Romni?!"
’Damn it!’
Recognizing the identity of the man with such a gloomy face in an instant, Aurora felt a shiver running through her body.
When dealing with Benjamin earlier,
Aurora merely intended to subdue him.
However, when facing the Archbishop of the Divine Punishment Sect, Aurora immediately gave up any intention of holding back! Her eyes narrowed abruptly, and the terrifying thunderous Aura suddenly enveloped her right fist! Her killing intent for this extremely dangerous madman was fully unleashed without reservation!
More importantly!
"Romni!"
It was this man who had brutally killed her son and daughter! He was the one she had been seeking for years, the target of her vengeance!
In the next moment,
Without further ado,
Surrounded by an overwhelming killing intent, Aurora swung her iron fist with the force of a thunderbolt, striking fiercely at Romni’s head!
Facing Aurora’s attack,
The man called Romni revealed a chilling smile.
"My lady’s welcome is truly warm!"
Laughing wildly,
Romni waved his left fist fearlessly! A white energy full of oppressive aura and a bizarre corrosive smell clung to Romni’s left fist!
"Boom!!!"
With a deafening explosion,
Their iron fists violently collided! Purple and white energy fiercely intertwined, creating astonishing shockwaves! In an instant, the surrounding noble ladies and children, including Benjamin, were blown dozens of meters away by the aftershocks of this burst of power!
Of course,
Yumo also pretended to fly away.
"Ah, I flew~~~~!"
At this moment, having focused all her attention on observing Romni, Yumo seemed to neglect the dedication of an actress. Unconsciously, her words carried a hint of flattery. Fortunately, everyone around was focused on self-preservation and didn’t notice anything unusual about Yumo.
...
After the energy clash, the surrounding Blue Rose Garden had lost its previous beauty, becoming a complete mess.
The noble sons and daughters, including Lady Alita and Xingya, were all lying in disarray in the distance. Under normal circumstances, the aftershocks generated by the clashes between Saint-level powerhouses could cause serious damage to these ordinary people with little strength.
However, these noble ladies and children generally had protective magic scrolls, which could be activated when necessary to ensure their safety. This prevented large-scale casualties. But, after being baptized by the shockwave, these delicate women and children were instantly frightened, standing dumbfounded in their tracks, crying and looking at Aurora in terror...
After the energy clash,
The raging purple thunderlight was ultimately suppressed by the gloomy white light.
After breaking free from Romni’s restraint, Aurora leaped backward, putting distance between her and the Archbishop.
Glancing at her right hand, blood continuously flowed down. Aurora couldn’t help but bite her lip, her eyes full of unwillingness.
This confrontation was undoubtedly her defeat.
Not only was her aura suppressed, but her right arm also suffered significant damage during the power collision.
In contrast, Romni, not far away, had no wounds on his body. He was pushed back several meters but still had that nonchalant and chilling smile on his face.
This,
This guy,
Must be at least high or peak sevnth-tire…
Realizing this, Aurora’s uneasiness soared, and her gaze locked onto Benjamin.
"You actually teamed up with the Divine Punishment Sect?!"
Hearing these words,
Benjamin, who crawled out of the bushes, stood up without any guilt and looked at Aurora, laughing manically.
"Heh heh, so what if we teamed up? As long as I can become a marquis and no longer have to act according to your whims, it’s all good! My lady, if you surrender now, perhaps, I can ask Mr. Romni to leave your corpse intact~"
Upon hearing this,
Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Keep dreaming..."
Feeling the cold killing intent constantly erupting from Aurora’s eyes, Benjamin couldn’t help but retreat. Although he had the support of the Divine Punishment Sect’s expert, his fear of Aurora over the years remained strong.
Swallowing, Benjamin sneered at the brown-haired man who was taking off his white armor.
"Mr. Romni, I’ll leave the rest to you. Kill her however you like!"
"Heh heh, that was my plan all along..."
After removing the cumbersome armor and revealing the black clothes bearing the Divine Punishment Sect’s emblem, Romni’s pupils suddenly flashed a sinister white cold light. An overwhelming killing intent enveloped everyone present, like the wailing of ghosts. Many children and women with weaker mental fortitude were shocked and fainted on the spot.
The cold murderous aura, like a sharp blade, constantly stabbed at Aurora,
Making the pressure within her heart intensify even more.
’This man is indeed dangerous...’
At the same time,
Such a massive energy impact naturally attracted the attention of the count’s guards! In an instant, nearly a hundred guards and members of the Snowstorm Knights rushed into the garden, surrounding Romni and Benjamin!
Everyone immediately drew their weapons, vigilantly watching the surrounded brown-haired gloomy man.
Seeing reinforcements arrive,
Aurora breathed a sigh of relief,
Immediately after, the Marquise signaled a deputy officer of the Snowstorm Knights beside her with her eyes.
’Quickly take the ladies and children away from here! And protect Xia’er!’
’Understood, my lady!’
The knight who received the order immediately led a group of people towards the back, taking the unconscious and frightened noble ladies and children away from the battlefield in a hurry! Likewise, Yumo, who originally wanted to watch for a while, was forcibly pulled away by the knight, leaving her with a hint of regret.
However,
After seeing Xia’er leave, Aurora couldn’t help but feel a weight lifted off her shoulders.
With Xia’er gone and no more troublesome nobles,
She could finally fight without holding back!
Thinking of this,
Aurora roughly tore off the bottom of her skirt and her sleeves, turning the expensive dress into a more battle-friendly outfit! After receiving the sword handed to her by her subordinate, Aurora suddenly swung her sword, pointing the blade at Romni’s forehead.
"Scum of the Punishment Sect! Since you dared to come to our Wind City, don’t expect to leave alive! It’s time to settle the blood debt you owe in Wind City!"
As soon as the words fell,
The surrounding soldiers burst into intense energy! Two members of the Snowstorm Knights beside Aurora even ignited their powerful sixth-tire power! The combined oppressive force of the soldiers and Aurora ultimately suppressed Romni’s sinister white light!
This greatly boosted Aurora’s confidence,
After all, no matter how powerful Romni was, he was ultimately just one person. One person couldn’t possibly withstand the siege of so many people!
However,
Just as Aurora was thinking this,
Romni seemed to guess Aurora’s thoughts and laughed heartily, without restraint.
"HAHAHAHAHA!... HAHAHA! My lady, you don’t really believe I came alone, do you?!"
"What?!"
Aurora’s eyes widened, and she quickly looked around, sensing something was wrong.
The next moment,
Under the astonished gazes of Aurora and the knights, dozens of people wearing the black cloaks of the Divine Punishment Sect suddenly appeared from all directions like ghosts! The people who had originally surrounded Romni were now surrounded themselves?!
Although these black-cloaked individuals were fewer in number than the knights,
Their overall momentum was stronger! A horrifying chill instantly suppressed every knight present.
These members of the Divine Punishment Sect,
Though few in number, were all elites. The intensity of their aura was far stronger than the soldiers on Aurora’s side...
’Damn it...’
Aurora couldn’t help but bite her lip, as a cold sweat slowly dripped down her forehead.
However, at this moment,
Beside Romni, Benjamin, who had been knocked down by the knights’ imposing presence, hurriedly stood up. Upon seeing so many elite members of the Divine Punishment Sect, this pink-haired man immediately revealed an ecstatic expression!
"Hahaha! As expected of Mr. Romni! Your preparations are impeccable!"
"Well, that’s all thanks to you, young Marquis, for providing the pass."
Romni courteously replied,
"Without your pass, it would have been difficult for us members of the Divine Punishment Sect to sneak in."
"That’s true."
Benjamin smirked proudly.
Then, as if remembering something, Benjamin hurriedly reminded, "Oh right, Mr. Romni! Don’t let that impostor young lady escape! And those noble ladies and their children, they all heard our conversation earlier! We absolutely cannot let them live! Otherwise, it will affect my rule in the North later on!"
"Hehe, of course..."
With an eerie smile full of wickedness and a meaningful glance at Benjamin, Romni then looked in the direction where Yumo and the others had left.
"Those tender-skinned, delicate fellows must be interesting to kill. How could I possibly let them go? They won’t be able to escape, hahaha!"
