Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Xia Ji spat and held the iron sword in his hand. He stood outside the cave entrance and just swung his sword. When he was tired of killing, only the bear king and a few black bears were left.

When he finally used his last bit of strength to chop off the head of the Man-Bear King, the black-robed elder stretched out a long, skinny hand from his sleeve and sucked Xia Ji over through the air. The skeleton-like hand pinched his neck and lifted him up in the air, leaving him with only one breath to breathe.

Xia Ji felt weak all over and his hands were powerless. He couldn't hold the iron sword anymore and it fell to the ground with a clang.

"You can join our church and obey the church forever. I can let you go and make you the chief warrior of the church. Otherwise, you will die."

The black-robed elder watched Xia's fighting method and was quite surprised by his martial arts. At this moment, he felt a little sorry for his talent. There was no martial arts practitioner in the entire Order Church who had such strength as him. If he could join the Order Church and become an obedient martial arts practitioner, it would greatly enhance the strength of the martial arts practitioners in the church, which would be a good idea.

"Then can you let Luna go?"

Xia Tian lowered his hands. Although he was controlled by the other party like a rag doll, he ignored his life and death and said with a cold and contemptuous smile, "If you let her go, I can join you."

The black-robed elder threw him to the ground. He was no longer a threat and dared to negotiate terms. He shook his head and said, "I will take her away. It is impossible to let her go."

"Then I can't join you," Xia Tian said with a calm smile, "I'll only follow Miss Luna."

Du Yueqiu rushed out of the cave and helped Xia Ji, who was lying powerless on the ground. She helped him sit on a rock and let him lean against the stone wall to rest.

She raised her head and said to the black-robed elder, "Rudolf, if you let us go, I swear I will never pursue the matter."

Although the black-robed elder was arrogant, he still placed his right hand on his heart, bowed respectfully to Du Yueqiu, and said, "Miss Luna, I'm sorry. Please understand that I don't have the power to do this."

"Rudolph, aren't you afraid that grandma will hold you accountable? You should know that even if you kill me, you won't live long."

"Yes, I know." The black-robed elder bowed again and replied, "But I am a loyal believer of Master Otto. I only obey the Master. I have no right to ask about other matters."

"Well, I'll let you deal with me as you wish," Du Yueqiu pointed at Xia Ji, "but please let him go, he's just an unrelated outsider."

The black-robed elder shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

Xia Tian took this opportunity to take a quick rest. After regaining some strength, he stood up and said, "Then let's have a duel."

The black-robed elder felt incredible and even offended. "I advise you to give up this idea. Even if you recover, you can never be my opponent."

Xia Ji just smiled calmly, walked up to him calmly, and said, "How can you know if you don't try it?"

He wanted to pick up the sword on the ground.

However, the black-robed elder sucked the sword in mid-air and took it in his hand to examine it carefully. But as soon as he took it in his hand, he found that the sword with the rusty scabbard was very heavy, as if it weighed ten thousand pounds. No, even heavier, his skinny hands could hardly hold it.

This was something he had not expected. The sword was already so powerful even without being unsheathed, how powerful would it be if it was unsheathed? He had an idea, which was to pull out the sword and see. He grasped the hilt and tried to pull it out, but it was impossible to pull it out. He then tried his best but still could not pull it out.

Impossible! He was just very curious, what kind of sword was it that he couldn't pull out?

"What kind of sword is this?" asked Rudolf.

"Sword of Faith." Xia Tian answered truthfully.

"What? It's... the Sword of Faith."

Rudolf's body trembled involuntarily, and his blood vessels seemed to be frozen. He was afraid of this name from the bottom of his soul. His shaking hands loosened, and the iron sword naturally slid down and stuck straight into the mud.

"Who gave you this sword?" Rudolf grabbed his neck again. "If you tell me, I will consider letting you go."

Hearing a few whimpering sounds from Xia Tian's throat, Rudolph let him go.

Xia Ji coughed twice and just said, "You are not qualified to ask."

Then, he bent down to pick up the sword, wiping the scabbard and the hilt with his hands, trying to wipe off the dirt on them. He looked relaxed and asked, "You seem to be afraid of such a sword, why?"

"Can you draw this sword?" Rudolf asked back.

Xia Tian shook his head and answered truthfully: "No."

Rudolf laughed at this time. "So you can't do it either. Then there is nothing to worry about. If you can pull out this sword, not only will I bow down to you, but even Patriarch Otto will bow down to you."

"Oh?" Xia Ji just smiled faintly, "This sword is so powerful? Then I can only try my best to pull it out."

He turned to Du Yueqiu and said, "I'm going to fight him later. You go into the cave and hide. As long as I'm alive, I will never let him hurt you."

"You can't beat him, you'd better find a way to escape." Du Yueqiu shook his head and said, "He is one of the three elders in the Order Church. Apart from the red elders, he is the most powerful elder in black."

"I don't care whether he is the elder in black or the elder in red," Xia Ji said, "If he wants to take you away, even if the leader comes, he has to ask me, this sword, whether I agree or not."

Du Yueqiu said with red eyes: "Why bother? You don't owe me anything, and you have nothing to do with me."

"You are stupid," Xia Ji said with a smile, "You and I are already in the same boat, how could they let me go? Go in and don't get in my way."

A strange expression appeared on Rudolf Baisha's face. His deep blue pupils slightly opened and he stared at Du Yueqiu and said, "Ms. Luna, why are you with this strange man? I'm afraid Madam Sera will be dissatisfied with you, too."

Mrs. Sera is Du Yueqiu's grandmother.

When he mentioned Lady Sera, he bowed unconsciously towards a certain direction in the sky.

"It's not your turn to point fingers at me," Du Yueqiu said, "You dare to disobey and openly violate the will of the mistress, so there is no need to pretend to show respect."

"I'm sorry, I'm also following the orders of the leader, and the leader is also following the orders of the Lord Father. I have no choice."

Du Yueqiu went back into the cave and waited. She knew that Xia Ji was determined to fight the black-clothed elder, and she just hoped for a miracle to happen.

Rudolf was afraid of the sword. When Xia Ji rushed over with the sword and stabbed him in the head, he did not confront him head-on but dodged.

Xia Ji slashed several times but all his swords missed. Rudolf came up behind him like a ghost, and his skinny fingers stretched out like lightning. Xia Ji was aware of it and dodged, but he was still stabbed by him. With a hiss, his palm pierced Xia Ji's left rib.

Xia Ji felt the pain and reacted immediately. He didn't even turn his head back and was determined to hit the opponent even if he got hurt. He quickly turned his hand back to cut Rudolph's arm.

Rudolf inserted his four fingers a few centimeters deeper, and wanted to strike deeper, but the sword came too fast, so he could only pull his hand back to avoid it, and his fingers retreated with blood.

In the summer, I covered my lower ribs with my hands, and blood suddenly gushed out from between my fingers.

Indeed, even if he had not lost his strength, he would not be a match for Rudolf. He slashed twice with his sword and then retreated to the cave entrance, leaning his back against the stone wall and observing the opponent.

Du Yueqiu rushed forward again, she tore off a circle of cloth from the corner of her clothes and bandaged Xia Ji's wound. While bandaging, she said to Rudolf, "Stop, call Otto out, I can talk to him about the terms."

"Talk about conditions?"

Rudolph looked at her but made no further attack.
