I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 208 : 189. Another female elf
The knights never expected a masked figure to suddenly appear.
What they expected even less was that as soon as the masked person appeared, Knight Rek beheaded them with a single sword stroke, instantly killing them; such a weakling.
"Who's this idiot?" Ito Mei shook her head with a tsk and slowly stepped forward to unveil Xia Feng's mask.
But at that moment, another cloaked person wearing the same mask slowly emerged in the air.
Everyone looked up in confusion.
After exiting the Nirvana State, Xia Feng looked down, clenched his fist, and felt the surging power flowing throughout his body.
His Spiritual Pressure state briefly soared to Fourth Rank, and, due to his originally high power level, after tripling, it directly skyrocketed to a state normally only reached by a Fifth Rank.
Quickly adapting to this immense power, Xia Feng looked up at the knights and whoosh—
Without wasting words, he stepped forward, and with a soft bang in the space, he turned into a black and white afterimage that swept behind a Black Moon Knight. As his shining blade edge flew through splits, he had already surged toward his next target.
"?! "The suddenness of it all left the knights dumbfounded. The knight whose head had fallen was a newly risen Fourth-order Spirit Master. Even if he couldn't use his Spiritual Clothes, his physical strength was supposed to be formidable. How had he been so easily breached and killed?
Swoosh—Two more heads of Third Rank Spirit Masters flew through the air.
"He's Fifth Rank! Damn it, scatter!" Rek was the first to respond, shouting as he turned to run.
He was actually Fifth Rank too, but Miracle Star River had its own rules that forbade Fourth Rank and above Spirit Masters from entering.
That's why, upon entering Miracle Star River, the overall strength of Fifth Rank Spirit Masters would be suppressed to Fourth Rank level by the Rule Power of the Star River.
To break through Rule Power and recover one's real strength wasn't impossible, but it could only be done for a brief two hours. Rek needed to ensure that he later had an absolute chance of obtaining the Heavenly Stone Embryo, so he couldn't recover his strength right now.
Hearing Rek's warning, the faces of the knights changed drastically as they scattered in all directions like frightened animals.
Boom—Xia Feng's figure flashed in front of Ito Mei, and with a punch, he blasted her head apart; but to Xia Feng's surprise, as his fist made impact, her body deflated like a balloon, instantly turning into a wrinkled piece of human skin that fluttered to the ground.
"Has she run away now..." Xia Feng frowned. The human skin before him ignited with black flames, as if it was about to self-destruct and vanish. Xia Feng, thoughtfully, reached out and touched the black flames, and the burning pain that seared souls was transmitted to him.
"You have been attacked by the B-rank Spiritual Artifact 'human skin puppet', detection of replication possible..."
As the human skin vanished within the flames, Xia Feng didn't linger and turned to continue his pursuit of the others.
Unfortunately, his speed had not reached Fifth Rank level. Despite possessing invincible bodily strength, he couldn't fully employ it.
Nevertheless, it didn't matter. As long as these people still carried Yao Stones on them, he would continuously sense and then find them.
Not one would escape.
Picking up the three Yao Stones that had fallen, including one each of Fire Obsidian, Wood Stone, and Water Bright Stone, Xia Feng only needed the Water Bright Stone. However, if he could snatch other attribute Yao Stones, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
After collecting the Yao Stones and placing Mushroom, who had turned into an actual mushroom, into his pocket, he briefly sensed the direction and then began a frenzied chase.
...
"Boss, who the heck are you! For fuck's sake, stop chasing, will you?"
Miracle Star River No. 7 had suddenly descended into chaos, as many who were leisurely enjoying the wonders of the star river had begun to desperately flee. This was because a lunatic wearing a "K" mask was attacking indiscriminately, claiming that in order to maintain the justice and peace of the Star River, they needed to hand over their Yao Stones.
Yao Stones were the very anchor of their existence in this place; how could they possibly hand them over.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll give you the Yao Stone, isn't that enough?"

The Black Moon Church felt fortunate, lucky that this masked "K" person was attacking indiscriminately, as even members of the Elemental Church had their Yao Stones seized by the masked individual, leading to a significant reduction in their personnel. One by one, having lost their Yao Stones, they were forced to return to the Present Realm.
[Water Bright Stone +1+1....+1]
With Xia Feng's efforts to rob from the rich to give to the poor, he had successfully obtained 12 Water Bright Stones, as well as 26 other attribute Yao Stones.
The goal of 100 Water Bright Stones was still far away; the responsibility was heavy and the road, long.
"Who exactly is this 'K' person!" At some point above the Star River, Ito Mei's face was grim. She only had one chance to escape using the human skin method, and she couldn't believe she ended up using it like this. She utterly loathed this inexplicable "K" person.
"No matter who he is, Ito Mei, it's none of your concern," intoned an elegant, handsome man with flowing golden hair, floating aloft with hands behind his back, wearing a suave tuxedo, speaking down to her, "Your only task now is to awaken the goddess quickly, so that she may drop the Heavenly Stone Embryo!"
Ito Mei's eyes narrowed slightly; she did not like the man's slightly contemptuous tone, but there was no helping it; the man was Jin Zhengen, a Knight from the headquarters, who inherently looked down upon them, members of the branch offices, with disdain.
Moreover, this man was a Level 5 Fierce Battle Knight.
A so-called Fierce Battle Knight was a Body Master specially trained by the Church Court; their Spiritual Pressure ranking might be low, but their bodily strength reached an astonishing level after consuming massive amounts of spiritual blood essence fruits and other materials.
Take Jin Zhengen, for example, his Spiritual Pressure was only Third Rank, but his bodily strength was rated Level 5, equivalent to the bodily strength of a Fifth Rank Spirit Master.
However, the ultimate limit of these Fierce Battle Knights was also set in stone, doomed never to ascend to the Venerable Realm. But to most Fierce Battle Knights, this hardly mattered.
This time, the Black Moon headquarters had dispatched two Level 5 Fierce Battle Knights and six Level 4 Fierce Battle Knights, which showed the resolve and determination to secure the Heavenly Stone Embryo at all costs.
Just then, from afar, a massive man of two and a half meters tall leaped towards them, landing steadily upon the Star River, bowing his head emotionlessly and announcing in a deep voice: "The number of Elemental Church members has decreased by another 12."
This giant was another Level 5 Fierce Battle Knight; most Fierce Battle Knights were quite tall, making Jin Zhengen, who maintained a normal physique, the exception.
"Heh, it seems that this appearance of the 'K' person is a good thing for us after all."
Jin Zhengen's eyes narrowed as he said blandly, "In these past eighteen hours, almost all of the Elemental Church's top combat forces have been plundered by the 'K' person and returned to the Present Realm. This way, once the Heavenly Stone Embryo appears, the Elemental Church will no longer be able to compete with us."
"But the 'K' person is still here," said Rek, the Knight, standing next to Ito Mei, furrowing his brow and speaking gravely, "It's better to be careful, the target of the 'K' person won't be as simple as just the Yao Stones."
"Your concerns may be excessive, Lord Rek."
Jin Zhengen chuckled and shook his head, "Whatever his purpose is, he is merely a Fifth Rank Spirit Master. Does he think he can fight so many of us?"
"Besides, every one of us has a Spiritual Artifact. More than twenty Spiritual Artifacts can form many kinds of combination attacks. Do you think he can handle being attacked by all of us?"
Speaking dismissively, the blond man casually snapped his fingers, and behind him a figure emerged, materializing as a delicate woman with pointed ears, dressed in a resplendent gold gown, gently landing on the ground.
The Elf woman looked warmly at Jin Zhengen, curtsied, and said softly, "Master, your commands?"
"Monitor the surroundings."
"Yes." The Elf woman's forehead immediately opened a single eye, beginning her surveillance.
This was Jin Zhengen's Spiritual Artifact, the Light Elf, which had gained a humanoid form due to an accidental curse during the Artifact Disaster.
