Chapter 458 When the White Night Dawns, Celestial Phenomena Strike
The white knight aimed his bow and arrow, and fired a shot that pierced through the miasma with a pale white aura, advancing relentlessly.
The miasma parted several hundred meters, revealing the true form of the target: a figure dressed in gray-white tight-fitting clothes, holding a longbow, and wearing a pale mask.
Bai Ze found the true form of the Heavenly Feather Bow.
But in the next instant, Tianyu Gong retreated in mid-air, transforming from solid to ethereal. The pale arrow struck, but no blood was seen; only a feather drifted down from the sky.
"It's the Heavenly Feather Illusion of the Heavenly Feather Bow, it missed!" Dmitri exclaimed.
"It's alright, let the arrows fly for a while," Bai Ze said calmly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the pale aura suddenly shifted, as if it were alive, and headed towards another shadowy figure.
The aura moved with incredible speed, closing in almost instantly.
The miasma parted, and the figure of the Heavenly Feather Bow was revealed once more.
"snort."
Tianyu Bow let out a cold snort, his figure flashing and shifting, as if teleporting, once again turning reality into illusion. A feather was hit by the pale white aura, and it seemed to have lost all color, instantly disappearing.
The pale aura continued relentlessly, like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing the true form of the Heavenly Feather Bow and shattering several illusory bodies in succession.
"This is the manifestation of the plague. Once its presence is detected, it will follow you like a shadow, infecting all related entities."
Bai Ze spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Dmitri became even more certain that Bai Ze had received the sacred scriptures of the Ursus Orthodox Church.
However, in reality, it was all about words becoming law.
By borrowing biblical stories and adding concepts, the various transformations within them are abilities that Bai Ze himself possesses.
The Cantongqi is best known for its ability to depict change.
Seeing that the pale aura was like a leech, relentlessly pursuing him, Tianyu Gong finally stopped dodging.
With a flick of his arm, an arrow was already nocked on the bow.
He drew his bow and shot an arrow mid-air; the arrow's shadow pierced the air, meeting the pale aura.
Upon contact, the pale aura crumbled instantly, utterly unable to withstand the arrows of the Heavenly Feather Bow.
However, when that pale aura dissipated, it spread like a fog, reaching the other shadowy figures.
The ghostly figures were tinged with a ghastly white aura in the miasma, and the illusory forms of the Heavenly Feather Bow vanished one by one.
At this moment, Bai Ze spoke again: "When the second seal was opened, I heard a second living creature say: 'Come!'"
Then another horse came out, and it was red.
"Power was given to the rider to seize peace from the earth and to make people kill one another; and a great sword was also given to him."
With a neighing sound, a scarlet figure rode a crimson horse, galloping out with a fierce and bloody aura. The scarlet longsword in his hand cut a trajectory like a river of blood, and the scarlet sword energy surged towards the Heavenly Feather Bow.
At the same time, the white knight was about to draw his bow again.
Just as it was about to aim at the Heavenly Feather Bow again, the surroundings suddenly darkened.
Darkness descended suddenly, like a primordial beast swallowing everything in its path.
Countless dark shadows rushed out from the darkness, their menacing aura directly assaulting Bai Ze and Dmitri themselves.
铮—
The military knife that Bai Ze had used as a disguise for his identity was drawn at this moment, and a sharp blade light burst forth from the blade, piercing through the approaching black shadow.
The saber swung, responding to Bai Ze's senses, tracing a mysterious arc of light before meeting a dark shadow in the darkness.
when-
The two clashed, producing a metallic clang, and holy light erupted, illuminating the darkness.
Light and darkness alternated and shifted, and the shadow of a sword emerged from the darkness, clashing with the military knife. The heavy sword force and the blade's edge collided head-on, then scattered into a blur of light and shadow, shattering the light and darkness.
Then the darkness vanished in an instant, and a dazzling light burst forth from it, the brilliant sword light covering the surroundings and threatening to shatter the space into hundreds of fragments.
"war."
A flash of blood appeared, and a torrent of blood followed the swing of the greatsword, engulfing the sword light. It then circled around Bai Ze and Dmitri, transforming into a blurry, blood-red knight.
At the same time, a pale arrow pointed towards them, causing the sword's momentum in the light and shadow to suddenly retreat.
As light and darkness alternated, a figure flickered between the light and shadow, retreating to the side of the Heavenly Feather Bow.
"leader."
Upon seeing this person, Tianyu Gong immediately called out in a low voice.
Even with a mask on, his respect for this person was evident.
Without a doubt, this person is the leader of "White Night" and also a traitor to the Chivalrous Society—"White Night Dawn" Lin Mohe.
The so-called "white night" is a special astronomical phenomenon.
In some high-latitude regions, around the summer solstice each year, the sky remains bright even after the sun has set, hence the name "White Nights".
Lin Mohe once registered the title "Bai Ye Xiao Shi" with the Martial Arts Association, and his martial arts skills are naturally related to light. Based on this technique, the supernatural power he has condensed is the control of light and darkness.
Lin Mohe relied on this supernatural power to remain unharmed despite being hunted by the Renxia Society for so many years, and even made a name for himself in Fanzhu.
"Why are the people from Ursus looking for Xu Cheng?"
Lin Mohe's figure was constantly shifting between light and darkness, his true form unseen, only his faint words conveying his doubts.
Moreover, judging from his expression, he seemed certain that Bai Ze was looking for Xu Cheng.
That's right. Xu Cheng just left Rhodes Market not long ago, and we came from Rhodes Market.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Bai Ze said—
"What's it to you?" Bai Ze said indifferently.
"That's right, what's it to you?" Dmitri scoffed. "We Ursus people can find whoever we want and go wherever we want."
The Ursus people can do whatever they want, do you have a problem with that?
We'll talk after you beat us into submission.
This is why the Ursus people are called brutes.
The typical Ursus-style reply left Lin Mohe speechless. Meanwhile, the two knights, shrouded in plague and blood, remained locked on Lin Mohe and Tianyu Gong, ready to attack at any moment.
At this point, Bai Ze became increasingly interested in Xu Cheng.
The "heretics" that Xu Cheng mentioned seem to be purging the members of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult.
This sounds like a good person, but what good person gets called a "heretic" by cultists?
So-called heretics and heretics are different. They are generally within the same belief system but have different stances, and may even be enemies of each other.
If Xu Cheng calls someone a "heretic," then even if they don't share the same belief in the Great Freedom, they are at least a believer in an evil god.
So here's the question: what is the connection between Lin Mohe and the "heretics" that Xu Cheng mentioned?
Why would an assassin organization like his get involved in the fighting between cultists?
Thinking of this, Bai Ze twitched his fingers, intending to take down the two of them first.
He could extract anything he wanted to know from their minds. Even if they were both dead, as long as their brains weren't damaged, Bai Ze could still extract useful information from them.
Sometimes, the dead are much more honest than the living.
Once the decision was made, the two knights, formed from the aura of killing and plague, began to fluctuate, ready to make their move.
But Lin Mohe reacted faster than Bai Ze had anticipated. Almost the instant Bai Ze made his decision, light and shadow shifted, and the world suddenly plunged into darkness.
When the light returned, Lin Mohe and Tianyu Bow had vanished without a trace.
"What speed!" Dmitri exclaimed upon seeing it.
"They went into Huangfengling and chose not to leave."
Bai Ze, looking at the trail of energy extending into the interior of Huangfeng Ridge, sheathed his sword and said, "It's really strange. This assassin is so professional, willing to risk being attacked from both sides by us and the Great Freedom Demonic Sect, just to find Xu Cheng."
Inside Huangfeng Ridge was a branch of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult, while outside were Bai Ze and Dmitri, two Ursus officers.
If Bai Ze and his companion call over the main force of Ursus and block the way out, wouldn't they be in a very difficult situation?
The enemy is inside, and the enemy is outside; we've trapped ourselves.
"Should we go in?" Dmitri asked.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze thought for a moment and then asked, "According to Ursus's usual practice, how should this situation be handled?"
This question immediately piqued Dmitry's interest, and he was happy to share his experience from Ursus with Comrade.
"If we were on Earth, we would call in a nearby military base to bombard them with missiles, and then go in to deal with any survivors after the bombing. If there is no military base, we would use the explosives we carry to carry out a remote demolition."
Dmitri said with great interest, "On the Mountain and Sea Realm side, they directly call on their comrades or nearby Orthodox members. Orthodox members usually travel in groups, and their hymn teams are really fierce. They can gather holy light together and project it from a distance to form a holy light cannon for attack."
It's safe to say that Ursus Bear lives up to its name, unleashing its full firepower.
When in doubt, just bombard them first. After all, none of them are our own people, so if they die, they die.
Even if there are our own people inside, since they have fallen into enemy hands, they might bombard them first.
The specific situation depends on the position of one's own people.
"Comrade, if you're not in a hurry, you can wait for me to gather the brothers who are still in Rhodes Market," Dmitri said, looking into the depths of the mountains. "It's just that there might not be enough people to cover the entire mountain range."
Huangfengling is a high mountain with deep cliffs, stretching for hundreds of miles, and it also has caves. A hundred men are not enough to carry out a bombing mission.
To cover the entire Huangfengling area, it would take at least half an army group.
But that would be beyond what eight stars could afford.
The divine power of half an army group is something that at least a ten-star martial artist would be able to withstand.
"There's no need."
Bai Ze shook his head and said, "Anyway, we're going to launch a large-scale offensive first, right?"
As he spoke, he ascended into the air and gradually emerged from the miasma.
Looking into the depths of Huangfeng Ridge, and then at the sky, Bai Ze obtained all sorts of data, including wind speed, terrain, and weather.
The Dharma form, overlapping with the body, simulates the shape of an intelligent brain, serving as an external brain to process information. At the same time, Bai Ze slowly circulates his energy, adjusting his divine sense to its peak state.
"There's a scientific phenomenon called the butterfly effect," where the flapping of a butterfly's wings in the Western Ocean might cause a storm in the Eastern Seas.
Bai Ze spoke slowly, his words flowing effortlessly, "If humans could calculate all the factors involved, could they artificially influence the weather like a butterfly?"
We will get the answer soon.
Having obtained all the information and data, Bai Ze didn't need to perform any further calculations; he simply said, "The wind comes."
o
The wind and clouds in the sky gradually changed, initially just speeding up, then getting faster and faster, from a gentle breeze to a gust, and then to a gale and storm.
An unprecedented storm is forming in Huangfengling. Strong winds blow into the mountains, causing the miasma that never dissipates to flow and surge like a torrent.
Then, the miasma was blown away.
As it surged, it was carried out of the mountains by the wind and spread rapidly.
The azure miasma on the outside dissipated at a visible speed, while the yellow miasma inside appeared more turbid and stagnant, yet it was also being blown and fluctuated by the strong wind.
The sky and earth darkened, a storm struck, and Bai Ze stood in mid-air, like a god who controlled the wind and thunder.
"Lei Lai."
Boom—
With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning struck the distant mountains, dispersing the yellow miasma.
Then several more bolts of lightning struck down in succession, crashing into the mountains and hitting the ridges.
As its name suggests, Huangfengling began to be swept by yellow winds.
The wind, carrying the yellow miasma, howled across the sky, and wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered, life gradually faded, and the natural cover was slowly removed.
Lin Mohe, who was disappearing into the depths of the mountains with Tianyu Bow, stopped in his tracks, staring in disbelief at the strong wind that was blowing.
As for deeper inside, there were already faint or overt streams of energy appearing.
The people inside were naturally aware of the fight between Bai Ze and Lin Mohe on the outside.
In fact, they had already made preparations for this.
Having occupied Huangfengling for so many years, it was easy for them to take defensive measures by relying on the terrain.
If Lin Mohe hadn't retreated with the Heavenly Feather Bow in time, the Great Freedom Demonic Sect would probably have already launched a sneak attack.
Lin Mohe's alertness prevented the Great Freedom Demonic Sect from activating its defenses in time, while Bai Ze's move nearly overturned the entire terrain.
The raging wind howled and surged into the mountains, its turbid yellow color gradually spreading across the landscape and filling every corner of the caves.
Under these circumstances, the members of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult could no longer hide.
They had to face the dangers of Huangfeng Ridge head-on, and in the face of the miasma and winds, they had no choice but to use their internal energy to resist them.
The energy surged up, making it clearly visible to Bai Ze, who was gazing into the distance high in the sky.
"rise."
He slowly raised his hand, as if supporting some invisible weight.
The yellow wind howling through the mountains formed tornadoes as Bai Ze moved, taking shape in the mountains and then moving through the air like a giant dragon, disappearing into the caves.
Almost the instant the yellow wind tornado was unleashed, a violent aura surged forth from a distant cave, shattering the yellow wind.
At the same time, it also completely exposed the members of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult.
"Ursus's modus operandi is quite effective."
Bai Ze stood in mid-air, watching this scene, and said calmly.
If there's terrain, overturn it; if there's danger, blast through it. The key is to be ruthless and thwart the opponent's preparations.
