Chapter 147 Memories of Moon Worship
Chapter 147 Memories of Moon Worship
The hooded man had a gloomy face, but his gloomy expression could not be expressed through the bird-beak mask. Seeing the auction price soar to 6 platinum again, he clenched his fists and then gritted his teeth and said to the person beside him:
"Hey, what's going on? Is this how you and the Central Weapon Shop cooperate? You know we need this thing, but you still want to auction it off. Are you looking down on our Moon Worship Sect?"
Sitting in the shadows nearby was a man in fancy clothes. He was wearing the uniform of a Central Weapons Store manager and had a fancy armband on his arm. He seemed to be a senior executive of the Central Weapons Store.
He spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't get excited, Mr. Priest. We definitely don't mean to look down on you. We just can't help ourselves. Of course, we also want to sell it directly to your sect privately, but the owner of this thing is extraordinary."
The priest of the Moon Worship Sect asked in confusion: "Why? In the Elemental City, besides the three Elemental Academies, are there people that your Central Weapon Shop can't deal with?"
The senior staff member said mysteriously: "According to the rules, we should keep the identity of the person who provided the auction item confidential."
But he quickly changed the subject: "But since we are partners, I can make an exception for you. Look, I let a group of you into my private room."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to the four believers who were standing behind him like clay sculptures or wooden carvings.
The Moon Worship Cult priest interrupted impatiently, "Don't argue with me. Tell me who the seller is. Also, tell me the identity of the person who has been bidding against me. He dares to snatch things from the Moon Worship Cult. He wants to die."
The man was not angry at the priest's interruption. Instead, he smiled and said slowly, "You must have heard of the seller's name. His name is Qi Yang."
"Qi Yang? The madman who faced the entire Goblin army alone?" The Moon Worshiper was shocked when he heard this, but he soon realized his own mistake, and then he restrained his emotions and asked in a low voice:
"Are you saying that he provided this world-destroying flesh and blood?"
"That's right. Now you know why we don't dare to deal with his things in secret. And I can tell you that he is participating in the auction on site right now."
The Moon Worship Sect priest was shocked and began to think: If it was him, he should have no shortage of gold coins, so why would he auction this flesh and blood? And he was still at the scene...
Suddenly an idea popped into his mind, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat: Could it be that he deliberately auctioned off the flesh and blood just to see if the person who bought the flesh and blood was us, so that he could catch us all in one fell swoop?
The priest recalled the first time he saw Qi Yang:
At that time he was in Mithril City, which was a small city. Its total area was less than one-fifth of the Elemental City. Moreover, the land was barren and its location was at the border of the Corrupted Land, so there were not many residents.
Fortunately, that place is rich in mithril mines, so there are still many caravans coming and going, but that's all.
Therefore, apart from purchasing supplies, the Moon Worship Sect had no intention of developing its power there.
Just as he was about to return with the mithril materials, the entire city was suddenly invaded by the goblin army.
At that time, he was standing on the top of a tower, looking at the goblin army that surrounded the city, and suddenly his scalp felt tingling, because, looking at the number, there were at least several thousand people, almost ten thousand.
Moreover, these goblins are different from ordinary goblin monsters. Their equipment is well-made and clearly divided, from archers with bows and arrows to warriors with greatswords.
There were even a few variants of goblins. They were huge goblins, holding sticks as thick as centuries-old trees, and they were ready to make a move not far away.
Seeing this, the priest turned his head to look at the defenders on the city wall and found that the defenders on his side were not as strong as those goblins in terms of weapons or numbers.
He was a little anxious about this and prepared to find a place to escape so as to avoid being caught in the crossfire when the city was breached.
At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened slowly, and under the gaze of the people, a figure slowly walked out. The man walked slowly to the front of the city gate and stood still, with a long sword on his back. He had an indifferent expression and stood still in the face of thousands of troops outside the city.
Just as he was wondering who this person was, he heard people around him shouting:
"It's the white ghost——Qiyang!"
"Great, we are saved!"
"Thank God..."
The priest was stunned for a moment and then said to himself in confusion: "Demon Hunter? He seems to be very famous, but why have I never heard of him..."
Qi Yang was seen wearing a simple white swordsman's robe, looking at the goblin army in the distance with an expressionless face, and finally he slowly drew out the long sword from his back.
The common style is also very simple, without any fancy patterns or decorations, but judging from the cold and shining blade, it is definitely a good sword.
Then he did not make any unnecessary movements, but simply raised his sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the thousands of goblins opposite him.
The goblin army seemed to be provoked by his action, or they felt that the sight of the city gate being wide open with only one person defending it was a humiliation to them, so with the sound of a horn, they launched an attack on the city gate at the same time.
As the goblin moved, Qi Yang also moved. He pushed his feet hard and rushed out quickly, leaving a hole of neither deep nor shallow on the ground under his strong stomping.
Almost in an instant, he rushed into the goblin army, and then the sword in his hand flashed coldly. With just one sword, he took the lives of several goblins around him.
The goblins around were startled by this sudden scene, but they quickly reacted. Several goblin warriors holding axes and machetes roared and chopped at him.
However, his figure flashed and these attacks hit the air. As he dodged the attacks, the sword in his hand stabbed out, blood splattered, and several goblins died at his sword moves.
In the following time, the priest was more and more surprised, and finally he was shocked beyond measure, because he saw Qi Yang flying around the battlefield like a fluttering butterfly, and every movement of it would take the lives of several goblins.
Those sword moves were neither grand nor gorgeous; they were just extremely simple moves, but their power was astonishing.
