Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

Wait a minute, Honglu, do you know where Xichun is?

While the group on the Border Bus were dodging the strange creatures, Gregor suddenly thought of this and turned to ask them.

"If we follow the original rules, we should be at the Iron Threshold Temple right now. But now..."

At this point, Honglu paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at the twisted creatures outside, roaring and charging madly toward the wall.

“I’ll go with you.” Just as the group on the Border Prison Bus fell silent, Kong Qiu, carrying a blood-stained club, spoke wearily, “Most of the monsters are currently attracted by the companies and groups stationed outside, so there won’t be many on the road.”

After hearing Confucius's words, Dante and his party expressed their gratitude and then immediately went to the Temple of the Iron Threshold.

Along the way, human remains torn apart by suburban orcs could be seen everywhere, but the broken remains all looked dry, as if they had been dried out by something.

Even though the Border Prison Bus crew had been through many battles, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines when they saw those bizarre corpses.

However, it seemed that what they feared most was what happened. Just as they were about to reach the Iron Threshold Temple, pairs of yellow eyes lit up in the dark tunnel.

"You all go in and rescue them first. I'll hold these guys off. Zilu, you go help them."

After giving the order, Confucius focused his attention on the five golden rings that illuminated the staff in his hand, and finally faced the roaring, twisted monsters charging towards him.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the people inside seemed to have been devoured by those monsters, leaving only some broken hats and weapons. No one saw any trace of those twisted monsters again.

After entering the secluded valley and passing through the blue-painted gate of the now-broken garden, they finally arrived in front of the Border Prison Bus crew.

Just as the group was about to step onto the bridge, Zilu warily stopped the people in front of him and then drew his knife.

With a loud clang, a burst of water suddenly appeared on the surface below, and then a long sword emerged from it and slashed down precisely, but Zilu barely managed to block it.

Just then, everyone noticed Lei Heng's graceful figure leap onto the bridge. After dropping the dying Xi Chun guard on the ground, he spoke:

"Ha, what good luck! Luckily, I planned to take down the head of the family from the beginning, and I didn't expect that no monsters would actually find this place."

After marveling at his narrow escape, Lei Heng noticed the approaching group from the Border Prison Bus. His gaze immediately locked onto Hong Lu at the front, and he gripped the blade in his hand, asking:

"I say, these damn monsters, you lunatics created them, didn't you? You're incredibly vicious! I doubt many of us will make it back alive!"

After Lei Heng angrily rebuked him, he suddenly seemed to remember something, then tilted his head and spoke to the other person:

"By the way, it seems the singularity in your place is quite useful. So, the family head who went inside must have some related items on him, right?"

Just as Lei Heng was congratulating himself on making a quick buck, he suddenly saw Zilu, who had blocked his attack. After a moment's thought, he spoke:

"Hey, isn't this Tianjiuxing? What are you doing here? Hmm, I can't open that gate anyway, so I can only wait for them to come out—how about we have some fun first?"

At this point, Lei Heng raised his weapon and pointed it at the other party, saying:

"I heard that you have found a way to protect the body with the mind. I have recently mastered the ability to turn my inner self into an aura, so I want to test it out and see who is stronger between us."

"If you don't agree, I'll have to take this guy's life."

At this point, Lei Heng stepped on the Xi Chun guard lying on the ground and then spoke smugly.

As the group from the Border Prison Bus drew their weapons and looked at each other, Zilu, in order to uphold his beliefs, decisively agreed to the option and then deployed his protective shield. However, he was still seriously injured by Lei Heng's circular blade.

After eliminating a threatening target, Lei Heng quickly gripped his weapon, watching as a group rushed towards him, hoping to extract more information about the monsters from Hong Lu so he could escape safely.

Upon seeing this, Sancho reacted first, stepping forward to block the opponent's attack, but was surprised to find that his power seemed to be bound.

"Little girl, you seem a bit restrained." Noticing that Shangqiu seemed to be holding back, Lei Heng mocked her smugly, then twisted another ring on his weapon and charged at the criminals.

Looking at Shangqiu, bound by the connection, Dante realized that this was a completely unfair battle.

Just as Dante was consumed by self-reproach, he received a wake-up call and expressed his gratitude to Honglu. Finally, Dante made a wish—that this wish would extend along the golden branch, and then make everything equal.

This wish bound Lei Heng to the same constraints as those imposed on sinners. However, the immense pressure of experience still made it difficult for Dante and his companions to achieve victory.

As the enemy's attacks intensified, rapidly closing in on Dante and forcing him to grip his weapon tightly in preparation for a powerful sword strike, a hearty voice rang out from afar:

"Who do you think you are, acting so arrogantly? Let me teach you a lesson!"

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a tall monk holding a blood-stained monk's knife, with a somewhat tired Confucius behind him.

........................

"Damn it, what the hell are those two giant beasts that came out of there?"

Just as the stationed troops were struggling to defend against the orc attack from the suburbs, they suddenly discovered that a whale and a bird, two giant beasts, had suddenly emerged from the central area of ​​Hongyuan. Just looking in that direction filled them with fear.

Fortunately for them, the two giant beasts preferred eating monsters to eating people, and had successfully attracted a large wave of attacks from the suburban orcs.

Of course, just as everyone saw the threat had decreased and was about to take the opportunity to retreat, they discovered that the strange group that had suddenly appeared had blocked their retreat route.

Then, the member at the front, wearing a black cloak, coughed twice and then spoke naturally:

"Wait a minute. If you want to leave, hand over all the singularity-related equipment you have first."
