With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

The goblin paladin looked at the chaotic scene in the courtyard, picked up the teardrop-shaped gold-edged shield he had seized when he ambushed the bronze-rank adventurer with his left hand, and drew the broadsword from his waist with his right hand;

Note: The Goblin Paladin did not receive the family heirloom 'Light Silver Longsword' from the Thousand Gold Swordsman. Instead, the author gave him a broadsword of roughly the same rank to fight against.

Magic surged on the broadsword in the goblin paladin's hand, and blue-green energy filled the blade.

"Whoosh!"

The goblin paladin who rushed out from the third floor of the fortress slashed at Bai Ze. The goblin paladin had seen Bai Ze release his teammates when the battle started.

Knowing who the leader of the goblin paladin was, in order to prevent Bai Ze from summoning more teammates, he did not attack A Ying and Mi Sha on the second floor, nor did he pay attention to Meng Meng who was still having fun in the air.

"Ding!"

The sound of swords clashing rang in everyone's ears. The young swordsman and the others, who were helping the women out of the room, saw Bai Ze and the goblin paladin facing off in the courtyard.

Most of the captured girls had been violated by the goblin paladin. Seeing the goblin paladin in his armor and red cloak, several of the little girls began to tremble involuntarily.

But this time, several figures appeared in front of them. Aying, Misha, the Thousand Gold Swordsman, and others came to the front of the injured women, blocking the figure that terrified them.

The dwarf Taoist, the gardener scout, the mortal magician, and several rescued men in the Thousand Gold Swordsman's party began to lead the rescued women back in the direction they had come from.

Bai Ze had cleared away all the monsters along the way, so it was safe there.

"Cross Slash!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The goblin paladin has learned several sword techniques from the human adventurers. It easily defeated the bronze-rank shield warrior squad before, and the high-level shields in their hands have now become spoils of war in the goblin paladin's hands.

The Goblin Paladin, swinging his shield continuously, easily blocked Bai Ze's attack. The Goblin Paladin's exquisite shield and sword, enhanced by magic, were of a quality that surpassed even the rare purple equipment in the game.

If the Goblin Paladin is given some time, and it uses the Goblin Priest's advancement method to advance another rank, the two pieces of equipment it possesses could potentially become rare 'artifacts' among the goblin race.

"Shield and sword combo!"

"boom!"

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The goblin paladin, who could already speak human language, was not intimidated at all. He used the sword skills he had learned on Bai Ze. Judging from the moves, they should be the sword skills of that bronze-rank shield-sword master.

Bai Ze, who had blocked the goblin paladin's three consecutive slashes, looked with great interest at this goblin unit that had been blessed by the gods. Originally, goblins were a race that was not blessed by the gods.

It is impossible for a species with the unit of 'Saint' to exist in the goblin race, but the goblin paladin, who has evolved mentally and has the ability to learn, prayed to the gods for the first time, asking the gods to show the goblin race a way.

Some bored god actually answered the Goblin Paladin's prayer, thus making the Goblin Paladin the first 'Saint' of the Goblin race;

The goblin paladin who embarked on this path began his conquest, gathering his scattered goblin brethren, secretly learning the smelting techniques of human and dwarf craftsmen, and teaching them to his tribe, enabling the goblins within his tribe to begin arming themselves.

The goblin paladin is also constantly learning human attack methods, martial arts, magic, and anything else it can learn, and has gradually come to where it is now.

Most of the goblin minions that Bai Ze and Mengmeng dealt with were wearing armor, and some of the leaders and captains were wearing full armor and iron weapons.

"Raging Slash"

Bai Ze continued his attack. The moment the goblin paladin saw Bai Ze's wide-range attack coming, he nimbly crouched down and held his shield and sword horizontally in front of him to block several important slashes.

The goblin paladin, whose cloak had been partially torn off, glanced at the flying corner of the cloak and spoke in human language:

"Which gold-rank adventurer in the kingdom are you?"

Bai Ze stopped using his skills and tapped the bronze-level token at his waist with his sword.

"Ding~"

"Sorry, I'd only upgrade to silver if I killed you!"

"hateful!"

Bai Ze stood there, his body slightly relaxed, one hand holding the sword hanging naturally at his sides, a faint smile on his face.

Bai Ze's seemingly nonchalant and casual demeanor completely enraged the goblin paladin opposite him.

The goblin paladin's eyes widened, his heart burning with rage.

You should know that, judging from Bai Ze's previous attack methods and speed, the Goblin Paladin had always thought that Bai Ze was a Gold-rank Kingdom Warrior.

However, to the Goblin Paladin's utter surprise, after some probing, he discovered that Bai Ze had shown him a bronze-level adventurer's badge!

Recalling the two arduous battles he had fought to obtain the sturdy shield and the incredibly sharp broadsword in his hand, the goblin paladin felt a surge of shame and indignation.

Could it be that all those previous enemies were so easily defeated?

Or is it that my strength is not as great as I thought?

The goblin paladin, growing angrier with each passing thought, could no longer contain his fury and began chanting a spell that no one else could understand.

As the incantation began, the broadsword gripped tightly in the goblin paladin's right hand suddenly flashed with dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful magical force surged into the sword like a tide, causing the already gleaming broadsword to emit an even more dazzling and chilling blue light.

"A severe punishment!"

With a roar, the goblin paladin, having no strength left, swung his broadsword, imbued with powerful magic, and charged toward Bai Ze with overwhelming force.

Faced with the fierce attack, Bai Ze casually used Lingbo Weibu to dodge the goblin paladin's first few heavy blows.

The goblin paladin's sword sliced ​​across the ground several times, leaving deep furrows in its wake. Even the permafrost of the snow-capped mountains couldn't withstand the goblin paladin's full-force attack.

"You've got quite a temper!"

Bai Ze dodged the Goblin Paladin's attacks one after another, then used his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to slide to the right rear of the Goblin Paladin's body and slashed horizontally with his sword.

"Ding!"

It blocked half of it!

The goblin paladin was extremely annoyed by Bai Ze's strange movements. He couldn't block the sword completely, and a huge gap was cut into his back armor from the waist up.

If the Goblin Paladin hadn't reacted quickly, raising his right arm and using his elbow armor to deflect a sword aimed at his arm, his right arm holding the sword would have been severed.

"The response is good, but it's not enough!"

Bai Ze did not stop and continued his attack. He stomped one foot on the ground and unleashed his fury. A huge red circle appeared beneath Bai Ze and the Goblin Paladin, and streams of blood energy surged towards the Goblin Paladin.

Suppressing the surge of blood energy, the Goblin Paladin stepped back to the left, leaving Bai Ze's skill range. Once he regained his footing, the Goblin Paladin swung his shield, which glowed with a blue light, and smashed it towards Bai Ze's face.

Bai Ze didn't even try to defend himself, instead swinging his sword towards the upper half of the goblin paladin's left arm, which was protruding from the edge of the shield.

The goblin paladin understood the location of Bai Ze's attack and thrust his sword from his waist towards Bai Ze's upper body, where his heart was located.

Bai Ze saw all the movements of the Goblin Paladin's hands. With a smile on his lips, he extended his left hand and activated the special White Rainbow Palm technique he had learned from Wang Yuyan. The attack struck the Goblin Paladin's right-hand sword blade before the attack could land.

The goblin paladin felt an irresistible force suddenly come from his right arm and the sword in his hand. The sword in his right hand, which was thrusting forward, suddenly changed direction and slashed diagonally upwards towards his left arm.

Caught in a crisis, the goblin paladin could only quickly adjust his posture, pulling his left hand inward, trying to use his left-hand shield to block his suddenly out-of-control right hand and the sword in his hand.

Bai Ze used the Lingbo Weibu technique to slide out in a semi-circle to the right. With the goblin paladin's arms crossed over his chest, the unarmored upper arms were exposed to Bai Ze's sword.

Bai Ze raised his hand and swept it across, severing the goblin paladin's left arm holding the shield. The goblin paladin watched as his left hand flew out, but the momentum of his right sword sweeping across was still there. The goblin paladin gritted his teeth and endured the pain, extending his right sword to continue sweeping towards Bai Ze.

Bai Ze, having finished his horizontal slash, did not give the Goblin Paladin a chance to attack him. He stretched out his left hand and activated the Soul-Devouring Demon-Sealing Slash.

The suction force of the hard-controlled body came, and the goblin paladin's body was held in a sweeping posture by Bai Ze. A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound on his broken left arm, and the blood sphere gathered on Bai Ze's left hand was gradually increasing in size.

The goblin paladin felt his power draining from his body, struggled to look up at Bai Ze, who could manipulate blood, and said sternly:

"You...are not...an adventurer of the kingdom! Manipulating...blood...blood, you are also...a...believer of the demon god!"

Bai Ze looked at the goblin paladin, whose body had been drained of half its weight, with a grin.

"You're half right. I am indeed not an adventurer of the kingdom, and I am not a follower of the Demon God. I am the Blood Demon God!"

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, the goblin paladin's eyes widened. What level was he? He had actually provoked the Blood Demon God himself!

"bass!"

As Bai Ze unleashed his final Soul-Devouring Demon-Sealing Slash, the Goblin Paladin's head, splattering a little blood, flew into the sky;

In his final moments, the Goblin Paladin stared into Bai Ze's blood-red eyes, and even in death, he couldn't recall whether there was a "Blood Demon God" among the gods.

任务：击杀中高阶以上魔物20只（10/20）；击杀王级以上魔物5位（2/5）；

Bai Ze glanced at the goblin priest he had hung on the pillar. He had wanted to ask something, but unexpectedly, the goblin priest bled to death.

The fighting around Bai Ze had long since ceased, and the goblin guards who had charged out last with the goblin paladin had all been dealt with by A Ying and Mi Sha, along with the Thousand Gold Swordsmen.

Finally, the whispered conversation between the Goblin Paladin and Bai Ze was not heard by those around them due to the howling wind and snow. All they saw was Bai Ze and the Goblin Paladin putting on a spectacular fight in the courtyard.

The headless and armless goblin paladin lay at Bai Ze's feet, his flowing blood beginning to stain the surrounding earth red. The snowstorm that had swept up during their battle dissipated with the wind. The sight of Bai Ze standing there with his sword in one hand and his left hand outstretched captivated the Thousand Gold Swordsman.

The Thousand Gold Swordswoman stared at Bai Ze with hearts in her eyes. She was completely captivated by Bai Ze's swordsmanship and combat prowess. Bai Ze's fighting figure was exactly the image of herself in the Thousand Gold Swordswoman's mind.

Leading a team to storm a castle infested with monsters, clearing out the mobs, rescuing the trapped civilians, and finally facing the final battle against the BOSS, the magnificent swordsman's dazzling sword skills and outstanding combat techniques have all played out countless times in his heart and dreams.

The 4D live performance of Bai Ze made Qianjin Swordsman's heart completely devoted to Bai Ze.

Since the night the team was rescued by Bai Ze in the snow and returned to Snow Village, the two have spent several days together and then ventured into the snow mountain again. Along the way, Bai Ze taught them combat knowledge and explained the habits of monsters, which made the Thousand Gold Swordsman fall in love with him without her realizing it.

Bai Ze flicked his sword and struck the ground, causing the goblin blood that had been frozen on the sword to immediately fall off. He then turned and smiled at the people around him.

"All done! Call it a day!"

In the wind and snow, Bai Ze's white hair fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face dealt another blow to the swordsman. The swordsman quickly lowered his feverish head, feeling that if he looked at him any longer, he might get a nosebleed.

At this moment, Misha jumped down from the third floor of the fortress, carrying several stone tablets inscribed with runic characters. Everyone gathered around, and Misha spoke:

"These relic stone tablets may be the reason why goblin priests can extract human energy to create 'humanoid' goblins. There is a passage behind the fortress that connects to a mine, and the stone tablets may have come from there."

Bai Ze considered for a while and then asked for everyone's opinions:

"This kind of evil magic that can absorb energy could be a scourge no matter who gets it in their hands. Some people would use it to prolong their lives, while others would want to create a continuous stream of strong and healthy warriors."

My opinion is that we should destroy these stone slabs before anyone outside sees them, for whomever it may be!

The women around Bai Ze completely shared his opinion; now they were just waiting for the Thousand Gold Swordsman team and the rescued adventurers to express their views.

The Thousand Gold Swordsman was now completely captivated by Bai Ze. After realizing that these stone tablets were not good things, he naturally agreed with Bai Ze's opinion. The other four members of the Thousand Gold Swordsman's team also nodded in agreement.

The rescued adventurers had no fighting power and could not represent the people. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they had no means to do so, so they naturally agreed to let it go.

Bai Ze instructed A Ying to blow up all the passages inside the Snow Mountain Fortress, and to pay special attention to the mine behind the fortress, in order to prevent anyone present from having any other ideas after returning.

Aying nodded and turned to leave. Bai Ze told Misha to stand all the stone slabs up. Bai Ze raised the Wrath of the Mad Dragon and scraped the surface of each stone slab like scraping tofu, and all the words and symbols were scraped away.

After scraping the stone slabs, Bai Ze kicked them all away, shattering them completely and making these evil things disappear from everyone's sight.

After dealing with the monsters and the stone tablets, Bai Ze arranged for everyone to take advantage of A Ying's ongoing bombing of the mine behind the fortress to count the spoils and the number of all the monsters inside the fortress.

Most of the monsters burned to death by the cute lava potion in the rooms couldn't be collected for evidence. We could only loot the spoils and some relics in the rooms and collect the monster evidence in the open area of ​​the fortress, and that would be the end of it.

The siege of the snow mountain fortress has ended, with 3 mid-to-high-level monsters remaining (a goblin priest and a large goblin whose head was chopped off by Misha before it even left the house).

One King-level monster: A Goblin Paladin who has evolved into a Saint after learning.

The ordinary goblin shamans and a small number of goblin wolf riders did not cause much trouble for the group and were only counted in the total number of monsters. The final total number of monsters was 296.

A total of 15 people were rescued (2 bronze-rank shield-wielding swordsmen teammates, 9 captured women, and 4 men tied up in the room).

"boom!"

A muffled explosion came from behind the fortress; it was the sound of Ah Ying blowing up the mine.

A moment later, A-Ying leaped down from the third floor of the fortress and landed beside Bai Ze, saying:

"Let's go. The explosives inside the fortress have been planted. In ten minutes, this place will be completely destroyed. After a few snowstorms, there will be nothing left."

Bai Ze nodded and led everyone out of the courtyard. They met the rescued people on the mountaintop outside and left the area around the fortress.

Just as they reached another small hill not far away, a violent explosion came from afar, and bricks and stones flew and snowflakes swirled around the site of the Goblin Snow Mountain Fortress.

The explosion triggered a small avalanche, and the site of the goblin fortress was completely covered by the slid-down snow in no time.

The group took one last look in the direction of the Goblin Snow Mountain Fortress, then turned and followed Bai Ze away.

Halfway there, Bai Ze brought out a lot of hot food and water for everyone to use. Everyone was very grateful, but they were also wondering where the hot food and water came from in this freezing weather.

The Thousand Gold Swordsman naturally knew that Bai Ze had magical spatial equipment, and assumed that these were all stored in the spatial equipment in advance;

What the swordsman didn't expect was that the hot water was freshly boiled by the women in his personal space at Bai Ze's request, and the food had been prepared and sealed in the space beforehand.

After leaving the mountains, Bai Ze led everyone back to Snow Village. The residents of Snow Village looked at Bai Ze and his group and the rescued people in disbelief, and hurriedly went forward to greet them and take them back to their houses to rest.
