Origin Paradise!

Jiang He shifted his gaze, his All-Seeing Eye locking onto his prey.

Leaving the lair, the view suddenly opened up. In the coastal defense fortifications not far away, a team heard the internal alert and went into combat readiness. The leading lieutenant colonel was using flag signals to inquire about the situation in various locations.

boom!

The gray warhorse charged forward, a flash of silver spear light appeared, the fortification wall collapsed, the upper body of the knight-level officer exploded, leaving no trace of his body. The surrounding soldiers turned around, only to see a sudden rise of blood mist dissipate, and a gray shadow sped past, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Dead...dead!?"

"what happened!"

"what is that?"

Two seconds later, William arrived at the coastal defense fortifications, stopped abruptly, raising a cloud of dust. He stared grimly at the wrecked body on the ground, then burst into full speed again, relentlessly chasing after the figure in the distance.

"How dare you cause trouble! I'll definitely kill you today!"

Two streaks of light darted through Karibibu Harbor, occasionally raising plumes of dust into the sky. Jiang He relentlessly hunted down knight-level officers throughout the harbor, striking them whenever he passed by.

……

"Throw everything away."

Forget about those gold coins!

"Family guards, cover our retreat!"

In the castle on the outskirts of the port city, surrounded by gardens in full bloom, an elite Grand Knight-level elder urged the Wyatt family members to evacuate. The direct descendants, branches, relatives, servants, and all sorts of people totaled over a thousand.

“Elder, I will stay here and lead everyone to evacuate. You should go and support Father.” William’s eldest son said.

The elder looked at the young man beside him and sighed, "Lord William's strength is enough to handle any situation. Since Hong Kong has been attacked, there is likely more than one attacker. Family bloodline is the most important thing, and I must take responsibility for this."

"But……"

"Alright, wait until you take over the family business before you give me orders."

The elders dragged the boy away, and the current attackers are most likely just bait to lure the fighting force away. Once the members don't have enough power to protect them, the danger is self-evident. The fact that Earl William's situation hasn't been resolved yet shows that the forces eyeing the Wyatt family are not simple.

Thousands of people left in an orderly fashion, heading towards the underground castle.

The top of a distant mountain peak.

The great knight, clad in construct armor, activated the alchemical array left behind. His armor bore the blood droplet symbol of the Holy Blood Church, and a moment later, a dark figure materialized.

"Your Holiness, the port of Karibib has been attacked, the Dragon Blood ritual has failed, and the high priest in charge has been confirmed dead."

The Grand Knight, codenamed "Dragon Blood," knelt on one knee. The Holy Blood Church is an organization that collects various rare bloodlines, with the aim of finding the secret methods to advance to the title level. Because this aim aligns with the desires of Grand Knights and Grand Wizards, the Holy Blood Church is exceptionally large in scale, with its influence spreading throughout various countries.

"Who were the attackers?" the Black Marquis asked.

Dragonblood replied, "That man has a red moon between his eyebrows. According to the Wyatt family's intelligence, he should be Rhine, the Broken Swordsman from the northern lands of the Stuart Kingdom. He killed Silver Sword Rosard."

"You will remain a member of the Wyatt family and continue to work with them."

"clear."

The dark figure disappeared.

Dragon Blood quietly descended the mountain, chasing after the distant group.

……

boom!

Inside the coastal fortifications, the knight officer stood frozen, shivering, watching the ever-growing silver light before him. He wanted to escape, but his body wouldn't obey him; it was as if no movement could escape the gunfire, and his fate had already sealed his doom.

Seeing this, William unleashed a sword strike from afar. The sword slash was only half a meter long, yet it contained terrifying tearing power. The enemy was intentionally hunting down the knight; this was the twentieth victim.

Bang!

The knight officer's body was never found.

The sword severed Jiang He's left arm, and blood splattered everywhere.

But with the death of the last prey, the transformation mission was completed.

[Hint: You have met the requirements. The transformation into a bronze body has begun, and your energy is entering a sublimation phase.]

[Note: Silver Body - Increases all stats by 30%, including elemental resistance, mental resistance, and status ailment resistance by 30%, and reduces total damage dealt by Bronze Beings by 30%]

[Hint: Silver energy – higher density and mass; each point of silver energy equals 2 points of bronze energy]

In an instant, the fracture was completely healed by the powerful self-healing and the burning embers, while the severed arm turned to ashes by the black flames.

Jiang He clearly felt his strength increasing. His muscles, like tough rocks, became increasingly firm under the baptism of silver energy. Every inch of his skin seemed to contain endless power, his bones were like those forged from fine steel, and his figure became more upright and agile.

Every gesture reveals the vigorous vitality and powerful resilience of the enhanced body. Silver energy surges within the body. When energy undergoes a qualitative change, it means that the energy level of various skills has been improved. At the very least, the hardness and toughness of the Overlord's Armor have been further enhanced.

"A pseudo-silver level where the proof of strength has not yet been completed."

"Roughly the standard peak Silver level combat power."

Jiang He looked back at the enemy relentlessly pursuing him. The enemy, who had been chasing him since the Silver Age, was roughly equivalent to an ordinary grandmaster in the ancient martial arts world. He was far from being one of the best at that level, such as one of the Ten Masters of the World. At this moment, he had every chance to fight to the death.

Chapter 296 Proof of the Strongest Mission

Beneath the leaden-gray clouds.

The waves surged gloomily, crashing against the beach again and again. The sand had lost its golden luster and turned a dull grayish-yellow, appearing rough and cold in the dim light. The sea breeze howled by, carrying a biting chill and salty dampness. In the distance, the reefs appeared and disappeared in the haze.

William watched helplessly as the enemy advanced.

He was all too familiar with the process of going from a knight to a grand knight, but this meant one thing: the other party was really just a knight before, rather than using a concealment technique at a higher level.

William gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. He had never heard of a knight performing like this before. Most importantly, it seemed that the two sides could no longer reconcile.

A gigantic three-headed demon wolf suddenly materialized.

William wiped the sword with his sleeve, and the sword light trembled at the edge of the blade. This A-grade secret treasure, which had been passed down in the family for hundreds of years, became more and more excited, and the power of the ocean's vibration gradually filled it.

"In Wyatt's name, I will kill you here today."

Jiang He remained expressionless. A fight was inevitable. He had taken away the dragon's achievements, tens of thousands of barrels of gunpowder, and killed twenty knight officers. Unless there were greater benefits, the conflict was irreconcilable.

Whoosh!

William took a step.

No need to build up power, two chivalrous virtues—honesty and justice—burst forth.

Honesty makes the Vibrating Sword glow, adding 20% ​​true damage to it. Justice protects the body; as long as the knight enters combat, Justice will exempt him from 20% of the total damage he suffers. In the distant past, even without a steed and a sword, a knight who believed in virtue could forge ahead.

Close in, swing the sword, and slash.

With a tearing sound, the reinforced coastal fortifications were cleaved in two. The three-headed wolf granted William extreme biting power, and the vibration of the treasured longsword caused the air to tremble violently.

clang!

The spears clashed, and the Long-Hate Dragon Spear was raised high.

Jiang He turned and swept out, striking the enemy's abdomen. In an instant, various states erupted, and his speed soared to its peak.

William did not defend himself, and the two chased each other for dozens of miles. He knew, of course, that the monster in front of him would undoubtedly become faster after advancing to the rank of Grand Knight.

The longsword continued to fall after the collision. Although it lost its momentum, the sword light suddenly trembled and then exploded violently.

Demon Wolf Sword Technique: Wolf Howl.

In an instant, an invisible force erupted from the blade, spreading rapidly through the air like a surging tide. Where the sword technique reverberated, the space seemed to be violently kneaded by a pair of invisible giant hands, trembling and colliding rapidly, forming ripples that were imperceptible to the naked eye yet possessed astonishing energy.

Click!

More than a dozen cracks appeared, but the Overlord Armor, shaped by silver energy, remained intact and successfully withstood most of the shock. However, a small amount of power still managed to penetrate the interior through resonance.

Jiang He first felt a sharp, piercing pain in his ears, followed by what felt like countless fine needles piercing his skin, and finally a continuous, deafening roar, as if his head had been struck by a heavy hammer.

The old gentleman's blow sent him flying hundreds of meters away.

When the shock wave struck the protective wall of the fortification, countless tiny cracks appeared on its surface, resembling a spider web being torn apart. The cracks rapidly expanded and spread, intersecting and merging with each other, causing large chunks of soil and rock to peel off and collapse, raising clouds of dust.

The once impregnable fortifications collapsed, turning into ruins and rubble.

Jiang He vomited a large amount of blood and fragments of internal organs, but without stopping, he rushed straight out, seemingly unharmed.

The smoke and dust exploded.

A few drops of blood dripped from the tip of the silver spear and disappeared.

William looked down at his abdomen. Just as he drew his sword, his opponent, with extreme speed, had slashed a long, horizontal wound across his waist, severely damaging his armor.

Even though the sword energy of a peak Grand Knight was incredibly pure, it was still unable to remove the strange energy contained within. The wound had already rotted, the edges withered and weathered, and the potent poison spread.

boom!

His figure arrived, his spear like a dragon.

William's face contorted with rage as he swung his sword, unleashing a ten-meter-tall wolf shadow that surged forth.

Demon Wolf Sword Technique: Wolf Shadow.

The wolf's shadow clashed with the spear, and the former suddenly collapsed. From the countless fragments made of sword energy, the silver spearhead pierced straight for the target's head.

Boom!

William parried with his sword, but the unimaginable force instantly shattered his balance. The extreme kinetic energy caused a crack to appear on the blade of the treasure sword, forcing him to move sideways and retreat. However, the spearhead relentlessly pursued him, always pressing forward.

call!

Suddenly, three-colored flames burst forth from the spear.

Jiang He, wielding a silver spear, brought a whistling sound to the wind and slashed down at the enemy with great force. The spear light was like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the air and carrying a chilling killing intent.

Bang!

William swung his sword to parry, and the clash of spear and sword produced a deafening roar, the shockwaves sending up clouds of dust.

Jiang He's gaze was cold and stern as he thrust his spear again.

Seeing this, William quickly ducked and used the blade of his sword to block. The two were evenly matched, and in the blink of an eye, the flashes of guns and swords clashed, and a series of crisp sounds echoed all around.

The longsword and silver spear clashed fiercely, creating sparks that looked dense and terrifying from afar, like flames burning fiercely. Countless spear flashes and sword slashes overflowed from them, wantonly destroying the mudflats, leaving hundreds of gun craters and slash marks all around.

Boom!

William suddenly heard the echo of death.

Jiang He suddenly thrust his spear upwards with all his might, and a dazzling dark red light burst forth from the tip of the spear. The light was almost tangible, shooting out with unstoppable force, like a giant sword rising from the ground.

The mudflats were easily torn apart like brittle paper. The cracks were initially as fine as a spider web, but then they quickly widened and deepened. Wherever the gunfire went, it made a chilling "sizzling" sound, and tri-colored flames quietly spread.

In an instant, a deep ravine was formed, stretching for hundreds of meters. The rocks at the edge were charred and shattered by the enormous impact, and a hundred-meter-long dark red light shot upwards, slashing straight down at the enemy.

Thirty-six wolf smoke guns.

The attack was too fierce, and the guns were raised too quickly.

William had no time to dodge and could only move his body. His left shoulder of the armor broke open, and then his arm flew out. The spear light slashed past like a half-moon that suddenly rose. Its sharpness was invincible. The wound was smooth and flat, and then it quickly withered and rotted.

The excruciating pain and disorientation struck, the gunshot carrying the damage to the soul, causing William's silver will to boil. He took a step to steady himself, and then the knight's true form in mid-air fell down and merged with him. Finally, he thrust his sword straight in, the movement honed to perfection.

Demon Wolf Sword Technique - Three-Headed Wolf Bite.

The Wyatt family possesses the bloodline of the Dire Wolf, and when combined with the Dire Wolf Breathing Technique, they have terrifying biting power.

Three sword beams overlapped, and the wolf lunged forward.

Jiang He dodged, his speed so fast that it blurred the vision of the elite knight, but the sword light, like a relentless raging wolf, struck his chest in an instant.

This was the ultimate sword strike from a peak-level Grand Knight.

The Overlord's Armor that covered his entire body shattered.

The second layer of Overlord Armor followed suit.

The combined force of shock and tearing, along with swordsmanship, pierced through the suddenly rising domain armor.

A shocking hole suddenly appeared in Jiang He's chest, its edges jagged and mangled, with tattered fascia and broken blood vessels hanging around the opening, as if it had been ripped apart by wolf fangs.

Blood gushed out of the cave like an out-of-control fountain, flowing down his body and instantly staining the ground in front of him a glaring crimson. His tattered clothes were soaked in blood and clung tightly to his body.

The remaining power wreaked havoc within his body, causing severe injuries that even highly effective self-healing and the embers of eternal flame could not repair instantly.

The two sides exchanged a move.

After William merged with the knight's true form, his flesh and blood rapidly multiplied, and his size increased. The fusion of the demon wolf bloodline with the demon wolf's true form transformed him into a monster.
