Chapter 511: Instantly Killing a Legendary Paladin
"Holy Charge!"
The Legendary Paladin spurred his Holy Unicorn into a charge.
The Holy Unicorn lowered its head, aiming its horn at Li Wei. The Power of Light gathered at the tip, forming a massive spearhead.
The Holy Charge was like a Holy Spear piercing through the firmament, stabbing toward Li Wei.
There was no dodging it.
The Legendary Paladin’s aura had locked onto Li Wei.
If he chose to flee, turning his back on the Holy Charge would only lead to a swifter death.
The charge Skill had always been the strongest attack of a Knight Professional.
This held true even for a Legendary Paladin.
This was the Legendary Paladin’s all-out attack.
The full-powered strike of a Legendary Level expert.
Li Wei wasn’t confident he could block it. After all, defense had never been his strong suit.
His strength lay in attack.
Facing the Legendary Paladin’s all-out attack, Li Wei made no defensive move.
Instead, at this critical moment, he shifted his gaze away and looked up at the sky.
The Legendary Paladin was somewhat bewildered by Li Wei’s strange reaction.
But the charge was already underway. He could only press forward, with no room for hesitation.
"RAAAGH!"
The Legendary Paladin roared, charging with unstoppable momentum.
Even if Li Wei had a trick up his sleeve, he would shatter it with his Holy Charge.
This was his unwavering conviction.
Absolute confidence!
As the Legendary Paladin’s roar erupted with immense power, the Holy Charge instantly grew stronger, its might increasing severalfold.
RUMBLE!
The sky trembled.
A red meteor appeared in Li Wei’s vision. It was what he had been looking at.
He had been waiting for a long time.
And it had arrived at the perfect moment.
Li Wei had cast this Magic long before joining the battlefield.
Meteor Fireball Technique!
WHOOSH!
The fiery red meteor streaked across the sky, plummeting toward the earth.
Target locked... the Legendary Paladin!
After being pushed away by Li Wei, Gu Sewei had wanted to go back and face the enemy with him.
But upon seeing this scene, she instantly understood his plan.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she fled from Li Wei’s side as fast as she could.
The Legendary Paladin’s charge was incredibly fast. Even with the Meteor Fireball Technique’s high speed, it would be difficult to score a direct hit.
Relying solely on the secondary explosion damage after the Meteor Fireball’s impact would be unlikely to cause a fatal blow to the Legendary Paladin.
To decide the battle in a single strike, the only chance was for the Meteor Fireball Technique to hit the Legendary Paladin directly.
To that end, Li Wei had chosen a target that would guarantee no deviation... himself.
In front of him, the Legendary Paladin charged at high speed, determined to run him through.
Above him, the red meteor that tore through the sky plummeted down, bringing annihilation.
"Holy Charge! Pierce!"
The lance formed from the Power of Light pierced Li Wei’s figure.
The hundred-plus layers of Invisible Armor on Li Wei shattered almost instantly under the Holy Charge’s assault, unable to resist it at all.
The Invisible Armor shattered, scattering blue fragments across the sky.
Li Wei’s Flame Body was torn apart by the lance, erupting into a shower of flames.
Just a moment later, the red meteor descended.
The Legendary Paladin had no time to dodge.
BANG! BOOM!
A blinding golden light erupted from the Legendary Paladin’s body, but it was quickly swallowed by the even more dazzling light of the explosion.
Li Wei’s body was also completely crushed by the massive meteor.
He was smashed into the ground along with the Legendary Paladin, perishing with him in the colossal explosion.
Covered by an Ice Shield to block the scorching Flame Shockwave, Gu Sewei stared wide-eyed at the center of the explosion. Even as the blinding light stung her eyes and made them tear up, she refused to look away.
She was incredibly worried.
’An attack this terrifying... it’s comparable to a Forbidden Curse Technique.’
She didn’t know if Li Wei could survive.
Gu Sewei knew that the one who had just saved her was Li Wei’s real body, not some Illusory Body.
Feeling Li Wei’s aura vanish in an instant, a pang of pain shot through Gu Sewei’s heart. Overcome with anxiety, she cried out, "Li Wei!"
She recklessly charged toward the center of the explosion.
BOOM! WHOOSH!
The terrifying shockwave blasted her several hundred meters back.
It was impossible to get close.
Only after the aftershocks of the explosion completely dissipated, revealing an enormous crater, could Gu Sewei enter the battlefield.
Gu Sewei stared blankly at the crater before her. There was no trace of Li Wei to be seen.
Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn’t accept losing two crucial people in one day.
"Li Wei..."
Gu Sewei knelt on the charred earth, letting out a choked sob.
TSSSS!
Her tears landed on the scorching ground and instantly evaporated into steam.
The Frost Staff emitted a blue light, protecting Gu Sewei from harm.
Gu Sewei reached out her right hand, weakly grasping at the air, as if hoping to catch Li Wei’s soul.
Suddenly, the Fire Elements scattered within the crater began to rapidly converge in the air at its center.
Gu Sewei slowly raised her head, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the change before her.
Her immense grief had rendered her unable to process what might happen next.
After the Fire Elements gathered, a giant, fiery red egg appeared in the center of the crater. Its surface was covered with vibrant red flame patterns.
The sight brought Gu Sewei back to her senses. A trace of confusion appeared on her face. ’What is that?’
Just as she was about to move closer to investigate what this thing was,
The giant egg burned away and shattered, and a figure emerged from within the flames.
The moment she saw that figure, an immense joy surged through her heart.
Almost instantly, she was certain that the person before her was Li Wei.
Without any hesitation, Gu Sewei sprinted toward him.
Hearing the commotion, Li Wei turned and saw Gu Sewei running toward him.
He quickly shouted, "Wait... I’m not wearing any clothes..."
Gu Sewei threw herself into Li Wei’s arms, hugging him tightly with all her strength, unwilling to let go for even a second.
Her tears soaked his chest, streaming down his skin.
Seeing this, Li Wei could only sigh and hug her back, no longer caring that he was completely naked.
He had just been resurrected and had nothing on him; he was stark naked.
It was the first time Li Wei and Gu Sewei were so... exposed to each other in the real world, and he felt a little embarrassed.
But seeing Gu Sewei so heartbroken and then so overjoyed, Li Wei pushed aside those superfluous thoughts.
He only felt a pang of regret for not telling her about this beforehand.
If he had, she wouldn’t have been so devastated.
She wouldn’t have thought he was dead.
Because Li Wei really had died.
He had somewhat underestimated the power of the Meteor Fireball Technique.
He originally thought he could withstand it by relying on his Flame Lord form and the Middle Level Flame Immunity Extraordinary Trait.
He never expected that he wouldn’t be able to take it at all. He was torn to shreds almost instantly by that violent power.
After being hit directly, the Legendary Paladin had barely survived even by using all his strength, and was gravely injured.
Then, he died in the explosion.
The moment the meteor hit Li Wei, he lost consciousness as his entire body was blown apart.
Upon death, the Holy Spirit Level Extraordinary Trait "Nirvana Rebirth" was triggered.
And that was what led to the scene Gu Sewei had witnessed.
In short, he had traded his life for the Legendary Paladin’s.
Li Wei could now be said to have truly earned the achievement of killing a Legendary Level expert.
It was just that this method would be difficult to repeat.
Trading a life for a life wasn’t a suitable tactic for every opponent.
Take Locks, for example. He had more than one life. If Li Wei traded his life for one of Locks’s, he would be the one losing out.
Besides, the Legendary Paladin might not be truly and completely dead.
Perhaps after death, he could ascend to the Divine Realm and become a Holy Spirit Angel.
In any case, Li Wei had won this time, albeit in a very brutal fashion.
Nirvana Rebirth was incredibly powerful, but it could only be used once every month.
During the cooldown period of the Nirvana Rebirth Extraordinary Trait, if Li Wei died again, it would be for real.
Li Wei would have to be much more cautious during this period.
Li Wei got dressed, cleaned up the battlefield, and quickly left with Gu Sewei.
Before the meteor fell, Li Wei had stuffed all of his belongings into the Magic Cottage.
Otherwise, his entire fortune would have been obliterated along with him.
As for the Legendary Paladin, only two of his items survived the destruction.
Other than that, not even his bones remained.
Let alone a Spatial Ring.
The two items were a golden, transparent hexagonal crystal and a palm-sized golden emblem.
Li Wei had seen the golden emblem before; Torresta had given him a similar one.
A Holy Emblem of Light!
This was a special emblem that only the Saint Hall of Light could issue.
Li Wei never imagined that such a thing could withstand an attack on par with a Forbidden Curse.
And without a single sign of damage.
This was beyond his imagination.
After all, even the Legendary Paladin’s Legendary Armor and Legendary Weapon had been shattered in the blast.
Yet the Holy Emblem of Light was left without a single scratch.
’Could it be a creation of Divine Power?’ Li Wei wondered.
Only creations of Divine Power in this world could possibly possess such an astonishing characteristic.
This was a "sturdiness" on the level of Rules. The Meteor Fireball Technique had not yet reached the level of Rules, so it was normal that it couldn’t break it.
As for the other item, the transparent golden hexagonal crystal, Li Wei wasn’t sure what it was.
After Gu Sewei saw it, she told him what it was.
"It’s a Holy Crystal. That’s what he used to summon the Eight-winged Bright Angel during the Divine Worship Ceremony," Gu Sewei explained.
Li Wei’s face showed surprise.
’So this belongs to the Light God?’
’A Holy Crystal... it sounds like it might be the same kind of thing as the Heart of the Holy Spirit.’
However, Li Wei could feel that the Holy Crystal contained a rich amount of Holy Power.
His eyes narrowed slightly. He wondered if this Holy Power could be digested and absorbed by Saint Xi.
He was still puzzled as to why the Light God and the Bright Angels possessed the same Holy Power as the Holy Giant Dragon.
Did they share a common origin, or was it merely a similar type of power?
Li Wei didn’t know the hidden story behind it.
After stowing the Holy Crystal and the Holy Emblem of Light, Li Wei and Gu Sewei rushed back to the Ice and Snow City at full speed.
The Ice Emperor, the Demon God’s Apostle Basam, and the Eight-winged Bright Angel Russell had all disappeared into the spatial rift.
For a short time, Gu Sewei no longer had to worry about the Ice and Snow City being in danger.
And Li Wei finally had time to quietly focus on his Cultivation and break through to Tier Six.
