Chapter 374: Dark Night Elf (4th Update)
The little girl was trembling with fear, but after hearing her sister’s words, she nodded, then sobbed, “Sister, it’s all my fault….”
The young girl shook her head. “We aren’t to blame, the fault lies with these people!”
As she spoke, her expression gradually became holy, and her eyes blazed with a brilliant light.
At the same time, beneath her long hair, two pointed ears slowly became visible.
“Stop her, that little wench is preparing to self-destruct in sacrifice!” the scarlet-robed Executor commanded coldly.
Two purple-robed Deacons sneered, “Don’t worry, Executor. Now that they’ve fallen into our hands, even if they wanted to die, they can’t!”
As they spoke, a holy radiance emerged on their faces.
“The Deity said, ‘Let there be light!’”
After a low chant, a dazzling light, like shackles, firmly trapped the young girl.
Wherever the light touched, black smoke rose from the girl’s body, and she let out a piercing scream.
The little girl started to cry out in pain, “Sister!”
The young girl lay on the ground in agony, her body uncontrollably trembling, then with her last bit of strength, she said, “Sister, quick, self-destruct! Don’t go on living!”
Her voice was full of endless despair.
Because she knew, once in the hands of this group, what awaited them was an endless stream of humiliation.
She had been bound, and she was robbed of even the chance to die.
But she couldn’t let her sister fall into that never-ending darkness as well.
Upon hearing this, the little girl’s face showed a look of determination, and her eyes shone with a dark light; her little ears, surrounded by a faint golden halo, poked out from her hair.
“Royal Family? Ha-ha! We’re really lucky this time, to have caught such fine goods!” The two purple-robed Deacons said, overjoyed.
But before they could make a move, the scarlet-robed Executor waved a hand, and a beam of light in the shape of a cross flew out.
The little girl was firmly trapped in a cross of light beams, shaped like the letter “X”.
“No!” the young girl screamed in agony.
“Under the glory of the Deity, heretics like you can only atone with your bodies!” the Executor said indifferently.
But just then, a calm voice was heard.
“Using the name of the Deity to persecute the innocent, is this… the glory of the so-called followers of the Light?”
“Who’s there?” All three cried out in shock.
“Just a passerby!” With these words, Xue An walked through the Barrier of Light at the mouth of the alleyway, slowly approaching.
“We are people of the Church of Light, purging the heretics. Please leave now!” The two purple-robed Deacons exchanged glances, then said firmly.
The way Xue An had disregarded the Barrier of Light alarmed them, so they did not want to start a conflict with Xue An.
Meanwhile, the young girl on the ground watched Xue An with a shocked look.
Wasn’t he the man from Huaxia they met at the restaurant?
How did he appear here?
Xue An looked down at her with a smile, “An Elf? Seems like a rare Dark Night Elf at that! I never expected to find your kind still existing in this world.”
With just one sentence, he revealed the young girl’s origin.
The young girl was taken aback, astonishingly shocked and at a loss for words.
But the little girl had already started crying and begging, “Uncle, please save us, they are bad people. They captured us just to bully us, and we are not heretics!”
Xue An smiled gently, “Don’t be afraid, stop crying.”
With that, he raised his hand.
The light that had firmly bound the two girls scattered like frightened subjects before their emperor.
This act shocked all three members of the Church of Light.
How is that possible?
How could he so effortlessly break the sacred magic of the Church of Light?
Then Xue An raised his head and looked at the three dumbstruck individuals, and said indifferently, “What I hate the most is people like you who use grandiose excuses to engage in treacherous and vicious deeds.”
“So… how do you plan to die?”
At this moment, the three of them had also recovered from their shock, and then the scarlet-robed Executor gave a sinister smile.
“A Huaxia cultivator? I admit, you are indeed very powerful, but you need to understand, we are from the Church of Light, and I, am even an Executor of the heretics’ tribunal!” he said with a face full of arrogance.
“The existence of these two Dark Night Elves is an insult to the light, so it is only natural for us to eliminate them. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing has happened, otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?” Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Otherwise, our Church of Light will not let go of anyone who dares to oppose us.”
Xue An chuckled, “That sounds quite threatening! Too bad…”
As Xue An spoke, he took a step forward, and countless sword lights suddenly arose.
“In my eyes, even the deities you worship are but ants, let alone you!”
As his words resonated, the sword lights fell like the darkening of skies.
The intense killing intent caused the three individuals to turn pale in alarm.
“Divine Light!” roared the scarlet-robed Executor.
A screen of light enveloped him.
But the two purple-robed ministers didn’t have time to resist and were slaughtered into pools of blood by the sword lights.
“Who on earth are you? Why do you oppose us!” the scarlet-robed Executor yelled fearfully.
“Me? I am just someone who can’t stand by and not help when he sees injustice!”
With that, Xue An waved his hand, and the sword lights completely overwhelmed the screen of light.
Within the span of a breath, the screen of light shattered completely, and the Executor let out a piercing scream before falling silent.
After the sword lights dissipated,
there were only three puddles of blood on the ground as proof of their existence.
Then Xue An turned around, looked at the two dumbstruck Dark Night Elves, and smiled slightly.
“There, you are safe now!”
The young girl and the little girl shuddered, then bowed their heads with immense respect.
“Dark Night Elf, Youna!” the young girl said.
“Dark Night Elf Royal Family, Isabella!” the little girl said.
“We thank you for your rescue, Sir!” the two said in unison.
Xue An gave a faint smile, “It was nothing, no trouble at all. I am quite curious, though, how can there still be members of your race in this world?”
What Xue An meant was, in this world where spiritual energy was so scarce, as beings born from nature’s spiritual energy, elves should not have existed any longer by all accounts.
Youna’s face showed hesitation.
Xue An waved his hand, “Alright, there’s no need to force yourself to speak.”
Then he turned to the Dark Night Elf Royal, Isabella, with a smile, “My two daughters have been pestering me to play with you!”
Isabella’s eyes gradually brightened, and then she nodded vigorously.
The friendship of children always progresses rapidly.
Like right now,
Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian and the Royal Isabella had already become as intimate as sisters.
Youna, on the other hand, seemed restless.
Xue An chuckled, “Are you afraid that the people from the Church will come for revenge?”
Youna nodded, her face showing a look of panic.
The years of persecution and assassination had turned the Church of Light into their worst nightmare.
