However, the two people who were together obviously did not have this awareness. Arima Yanobu was carrying a huge weapon bag, which contained her two-meter-long stick. She licked her tongue and looked like she was ready to hit someone at any time.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna, on the other hand, had a smile on his face and was walking leisurely in front, looking like he was out for a trip.
Li Muzhi originally wanted to remind the two to be careful of sneak attacks. He opened his mouth but still said nothing. The two did not look like they would be cautious. He could only look around carefully, ready to defend against attacks from the darkness at any time.
However, he soon found out that he was overthinking, and the unconventional Paradise Cult once again demonstrated their mysterious operations.
The blonde girl held the crutches with both hands and pointed them at the ground, standing straight. Although her figure could not compare with that of the senior, her size was very well-proportioned. Her blonde hair was combed very beautifully and she had a reassuring smile on her face.
The very simple white dress looks like a gorgeous court costume on her, and she seems to be very easy to get along with. Humans are visual animals, and the girl's temperament makes the darkness around her seem not so eerie and scary.
"Nice to meet you." The girl lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed to the two of them politely. Her voice was very gentle: "My name is Windsor Christina Hephatos. You can just call me Hephatos."
"I feel like I'm here for afternoon tea." Li Muzhi shrugged. He originally thought that even if the Paradise Cult didn't launch a sneak attack, they would wait in the base for them to use the terrain advantage to fight. But it turned out that they were waiting at the door like they were welcoming guests. Did they really think he was here to visit and exchange ideas about the cult?
Because Hephaestus, the deputy leader of the Paradise Church, was too upper-class, he didn't know where to start complaining for a moment. His eyes turned to Hikari Fangxu who was standing on Hephaestus.
This old rival was still dressed in a black suit, like a competent knight, standing quietly behind the princess she was protecting. If it weren't for her fair skin, she would easily disappear into the darkness and people would ignore her existence.
Arima Yanobu didn't buy it. He slammed the stick in his hand to the ground, making a sound of the floor breaking. He leaned forward and grinned at Hephaestus: "Hey, you are the deputy leader of this cult, right? Then let's fight."
The corner of Li Muzhi's mouth twitched, and his eyes looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna who was standing beside him. Facing the unfathomable Hephaestus, Arima Yanobu would most likely suffer a loss if he could only be brute.
As a result, Tsuchimikado Setsuna didn't care at all. He consciously stepped aside a few steps, covering half of his face with a folding fan, with an expression of watching the fun.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss Yanokaku." Hephatos said apologetically, "I was born with an eye disease, and my right foot is also disabled, so I can't fight."
After saying this, he pointed at his right foot without any concern, not caring about Arima Yanobu's provocation at all, but instead seemed to be apologetic for disappointing the other party.
"Hmph." Even Arima Yanobu couldn't bear to provoke such a polite young lady for a moment, and just snorted coldly.
"But..." Hephaestus changed the subject and glanced at Hikari Fangxu standing beside her and said, "My knight can fight with you. I believe she will not let you down."
"It doesn't matter to anyone." Arima Yanobu pulled out a two-meter-long stick: "Then come on."
"Then I'll have to trouble little Fang Xu." Hephaestus smiled and glanced at Hikari Fang Xu behind her.
Ten minutes later, with a loud "boom", the transformed Arima Yanobu fell heavily to the ground, creating a big hole.
Chapter 138 Suddenly Blushing
Arima Yanobu is very beautiful, different from the stunning beauty of Yuzuru Hanayama, and different from the cold and charming aunt. She is like a female leopard running on the grassland, full of wild charm.
After the transformation, her height increased to three meters, but it did not affect her beauty at all. She was a large wild beauty. Her strength was almost unmatched by any other demon.
But her condition was not very good at this moment. She covered her abdomen with one hand, where there was a huge wound. Blood flowed out from between her fingers. She was breathing heavily, with a look of confusion on her face.
Hikari Fangxu stood not far away, holding the hilt of the sword made of spiritual power with both hands, and the tip of the sword was inserted into the ground. He stood straight like a medieval knight, with no intention of pursuing the victory.
Everything that just happened was too weird. Hizuru Fangxu did not show much suppressive power. His moves were standard, but he was always the first to arrive after launching later, using the least amount of strength to block and deal with every fierce attack of Arima Yanokaku.
"Ah, what a formidable opponent~" Tsuchimikado Setsuna put away his folding fan and pointed at Hizuru Fangxu standing over there: "It's as if he can see future attacks and use his spiritual power to defend in advance."
"It seems that our little Fang Xu is just that strong." Hephaestus still had a smile on her face and said sincerely: "Why don't you go back first? If you continue to move forward, you will only lose your lives in vain."
Arima Yanobu suddenly stood up from the ground. After just a moment, the bleeding from her abdominal wound had stopped. However, she was obviously enraged at this time. She could not accept being defeated in front of her man.
She took a step forward, leaving a dent in the ground. In her anger, her strength increased to another level.
"Wait." Li Muzhi came up from the side, stood beside Arima Yashiro, and said softly, "Let me do it."
Arima Yashiro's handsome face turned cold in just a moment. He looked down at Li Muzhi, who was not even as tall as his chest, and said in an unprecedentedly dangerous tone, "Do you think I will lose?"
Because of his words, Arima Yanobu's attention was completely focused on him, and a strong murderous aura seemed to be overflowing, as if his answer did not satisfy her, she would immediately be hit with a long black stick.
"Uh..." Li Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that Mamiya would react so strongly. Was it the legendary beating of teammates? He patiently explained: "Her fighting style is restrained by yours. Let me deal with her instead."
"Humph." After hearing his explanation, Arima Yanobu's expression eased a little, and his tone was not as dangerous as before, but it left no room for doubt: "I will never give my prey to others. If you understand, stand back."
"But I can't let you continue to get hurt." Li Muzhi's face was not very good. Although Arima Yanobu was very strong, she had no team awareness. If her combat power was wasted here for no reason, it would be very troublesome to deal with the leader of Paradise later.
And judging from her expression, it doesn't look like she would listen to my opinion at all.
However, after Arima Yanobu heard what he said, he paused for a moment, and in an instant he lifted his weird posture and returned to the appearance of an ordinary human, carrying the big black stick on his shoulder.
She walked straight past him without saying a word from beginning to end.
"Uh..." This sudden change made Li Muzhi stunned. He looked at her handsome back with a confused face. Didn't this guy just swear that he would never give the prey to others?
Why did she leave suddenly? And the moment she turned around, I seemed to see a slight blush on her pretty face.
He quickly shook his head to get rid of this terrible thought. It was obvious that he had seen it wrong.
He looked again at Hikari Fangxu who was standing quietly on the side, stretched out his right hand, and a katana made of white fox fire slowly emerged from his palm. At the same time, his left hand took out a simple Gothic-style gun from his backpack.
This is the special long-range weapon given to Evelyn by Tsuchimikado Setsuna. Evelyn has never had the chance to use it in previous battles, so naturally she was brought along when she attacked the Paradise Cult headquarters this time.
The demonic power in her left hand gathered together, and traces of foxfire appeared on Evelyn's gorgeous gun body, which quickly wrapped up the gun body, shining with the unique beautiful light of foxfire in the night.
Holding a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he can switch between close and long distances freely, which is very flexible. Li Muzhi nodded with satisfaction at his current appearance. He didn't know whether he was strong or not, but he was quite handsome anyway. He said to Hikuru Fangxu: "Then let me be your opponent."
"I'm sorry." The speaker was Hephaestus who was standing nearby. She looked at Li Muzhi who was about to rush over and said apologetically, "I don't mean to offend you, but your demonic power is still far behind Xiao Fangxu's. There is no need to make a fearless sacrifice."
After saying this, he looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna who was standing beside him with a smile, and said sincerely: "The three bishops of the Paradise Church all died in the Seimei Shrine. How about asking Setsuna to take action? If you can beat Kogata Oo, then we will let you pass. If you lose, please take your companions and leave, so that no unnecessary sacrifice will happen again."
"Hey, hey." Li Muzhi had a strange expression. This Hephaestus was weird all over. She was obviously saying provocative words, but she made people feel very sincere, as if she was really doing it for your own good. "You are underestimating me too much."
"No, you misunderstood." Hephaestus explained seriously: "It is not shameful to admit the difference in strength."
"It doesn't matter." Tsuchimikado Setsuna closed the folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his face: "My son represents me with full authority, your promise is valid."
After saying that, he winked at Li Muzhi and gave him a thumbs up.
"In that case." Hephaestus also smiled, crossed her hands on her crutches, and said with a smile: "Then Xiao Fangxu, please try not to hurt Mr. Li."
"..." Li Muzhi looked at the two people who made the decision after just a few words, his expression was indescribably awkward. It was obviously a very serious battle, but the two of them ended up making it feel like a competition between kindergarten kids.
Rihe Fangxu didn't care at all. He just raised his two-handed sword, looked at Li Muzhi, and said softly, "Come on."
He didn't waste any words and fired a few shots. Bullets made of fox fire shot out from Evelyn's small mouth.
Hikari Fangxu did not raise his sword. Instead, a spiritual glow appeared on the armor that was hit by the bullet, easily blocking the fox fire bullet.
At this moment, his figure appeared in front of her like lightning, and the Fox Fire Sword in his hand chopped down vertically. Just as she raised the sword to block, an abnormal blush suddenly appeared on her face. Due to the hesitation, the action of raising the sword was also slowed down by half a beat.
Chapter 139: Do you want to marry into the royal family?
The foxfire katana was extremely fast. Hikuru Fangxu was stunned for only a moment and realized it was too late to defend herself. She instinctively sensed the danger from the beautiful katana made of white flames and had to retreat in embarrassment to avoid the katana's attack range.
Of course Li Muzhi would not give up the opportunity. The moment Evelyn stepped back, he raised his left hand and fired six bursts of white flame bullets.
It seemed as if Hizuru Houxu had lost the ability to strike first after being struck afterward that he had when fighting with Arima Yanokaku. Spiritual power flashed through the armor on his right hand, and he hastily blocked the white flame bullet.
Li Muzhi seized the opportunity, and his physical fitness was greatly improved after being tempered with demonic power. He alternated between long-range and short-range attacks, relying on the powerful destructive power of the Fox Fire Sword. For a while, he made Rihe Fangxu exhausted and vaguely took the initiative in the battle.
This scene also surprised the spectators. Hephaestus' beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and it was obvious that she was extremely confused about the current battle situation.
"Hmph." Arima Yashiro snorted coldly while standing aside, looking at Hizuru Fangxu with a very unfriendly look. She could tell at a glance that although Li Muzhi was growing very fast, he was still far inferior to herself at the moment, not to mention Hizuru Fangxu who had just shown overwhelming strength in the battle.
It was obvious that the problem was with Hikari Fangxu. That kind of calmness had completely disappeared from her, and her sword skills were full of mistakes. Her breathing was chaotic, and her heartbeat was extremely abnormal. It was good enough for her to be able to exert 50% of her tenth level of strength.
The fight between the two continued. Rihe Fangxu's face was full of shame and anger. Although he did not perform well, he still relied on his own strong strength to withstand Li Muzhi's first wave of attacks.
In anger, the two-handed sword attacks were rough, but the force was a bit more fierce than before. Each sword cut a long crack on the ground, as if he was eager to defeat Li Muzhi.
"Xiao Fangxu, your breath is disordered." Hephaestus stood aside and reminded softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Hikari Fangxu not only did not calm down, but became even more ashamed and angry, his face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. He completely ignored defense, sped up again, and slashed at the Fox Fire Sword with the two-handed sword in his hand.
Li Muzhi was waiting for this opportunity. At that moment, he decisively let go, dodged sideways, lifted Evelyn with his left hand, aimed at her abdomen, pulled the trigger, and fired six shots in a row.
Hizuru Fangxu was stunned. She didn't expect that a warrior would directly give up his weapon to get the opportunity to attack.
But she was not panicked. In the previous battle, she had been prepared for his shooting. Although the strange white flame bullets were powerful, the bullets made of demonic power were not difficult to defend against if she was prepared.
So she did not choose to defend herself with a sword, but instead used spiritual armor to defend her abdomen, and the sword in her hand directly chopped at the shameless man.
However, the reality was beyond her expectations. The bullet that hit her abdomen was not blocked by her spiritual armor. Six bullets hit the same position, and the overlapping bullets penetrated her armor that was used to defend against demonic power.
The force of the impact caused her body to step back a few steps. Hikari Fangxu glanced at her abdomen out of the corner of her eye. That was not white flame at all, but clearly six specially made small armor-piercing bullets.
Even though her abdomen was protected by armor made of spiritual power, it was still pierced by a bullet, but the wound was not deep.
In anger and embarrassment, Hikari Fangxu raised his two-handed sword and chopped again.
However, this time the attack was blocked by a folding fan and could not move at all.
The hand holding the folding fan was a slender jade hand. It was the Tohno Setsuna who was standing beside with a smile on her face. She still smiled as she looked at the somewhat exhausted Li Muzhi with an encouraging expression.
Then he looked at the puzzled Hikari Fangxu and said softly: "You have already lost."
Hikari Fangxu frowned and tried to exert force with his hands, but found that his two-handed sword was blocked by the folding fan and could not be pressed down at all.
"Xiao Fangxu, come back." Hephaestus walked forward with a smile, holding his cane, and looked at Li Muzhi and said, "Thank you for showing mercy."
Hikari Fangxu was stunned at first, but she understood immediately and her face looked unhappy. In the last fight, she was eager to defeat Li Muzhi and lost her vigilance. If the last six bullets were not shot at her abdomen, but at her head, she might have been seriously injured if she was careless.
It was obvious that Li Muzhi had been plotting against her from the very beginning. His weapon did not look like a modern firearm at all, and he had been using demonic power as bullets from the very beginning, intentionally making herself think that it was a demonic power amplitude prop.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Hephaestus.
"It's okay, little Fang Xu, you've tried your best." Hephaestus comforted him softly, then turned to look at Li Muzhi, reaching out her hand and touching his cheek.
"Uh..." Li Mu was stunned. Could this noble girl, who looked like a medieval aristocrat, be a nymphomaniac? But considering that she was blind and seemed to have a disability in her legs, he did not do anything extreme and let her grope around.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna stood nearby with a smile on his face, not caring at all that his child was taken advantage of by the other daughters. Instead, he began to look at Hephaestus as if he were examining his daughter-in-law.
Hizuru Houao and Arima Yanokaku stood aside, their faces turning green.
Fortunately, Hephaestus didn't have to fumble for long. She put down her hand, smiled and saluted Li Muzhi, and said gently: "Let me introduce myself again. I am Windsor Christina Hephaestus, the second princess of the British Empire. I was kidnapped by the Paradise Cult while visiting Tokyo. Thank you very much for rescuing me, Mr. Li. When I return home, I will ask my mother to give you a special reward. I have memorized your appearance. Mr. Li is much more handsome than I thought."
"..." Li Muzhi's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that she was really a princess, but he didn't feel that surprised. It seemed that this was more in line with her identity. However, her ability to lie with open eyes was really inconsistent with her pure and noble appearance. Generally speaking, princesses should be naive. It's okay to rebel on the spot. Of course, he also knew that if her identity was real, there would be nothing he could do to her. Moreover, if the leader of Paradise finally won later, she would probably join the sect right away.
So he asked, "I wonder what special rewards there will be?"
"According to Yan Country, if the person who saves your life is handsome, you must marry him." Hephaestus's expression did not change at all: "Mr. Li, have you considered marrying into the royal family of the British Empire?"
"Princess!" Hikari Fangxu finally couldn't help it, his face was extremely ugly: "Absolutely not, this despicable guy, when he was fighting with me...
After talking for a long time, his face became redder and redder. He couldn't say the rest of the words. He just glared at Li Muzhi with shame and anger.
