Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 309 - 306: Be Gentle
Chapter 309: Chapter 306: Be Gentle
Qin Feng took a slight detour to avoid the Red Robed Archbishop and Doro Holy Knight chasing from afar, quickly heading towards the church.
By the time he arrived at the square in front of the church, the commotion from the west side of the city had not yet reached there.
After all, there were more than ten miles in between, and even though the Fire Ape had shown extreme ferocity earlier, it had actually been controlling its own Demonic Qi, to the extent that even its roars hadn’t reached this area.
Therefore, even the higher-ups inside the church were unaware of what exactly had happened; they had only sent out a team of Guardian Knights along with a few priests to the west side of the city, to investigate or rescue those injured in battle and cult members.
Qin Feng changed into the Mage Robe he had worn previously in the Red Flame Demon Realm and put on a mask. After a moment’s thought, he also took out the Sky Battle Halberd.
It had been a long time since he had used this Divine Weapon, and today he would pretend to be a warrior.
...
Though he couldn’t use Fighting Energy, he had already advanced to Golden Core, and his command over Daoist methods had heightened by a level; mimicking the luminosity and fluctuations of Fighting Energy was still possible.
After getting dressed up, Qin Feng’s figure flashed, and he jumped out from a hidden spot, landing heavily on the square with a loud bang.
Suddenly, the entire square shook vehemently a few times, and footprints about two feet deep appeared under Qin Feng’s feet, with cracks spreading through the stone slabs within several yards around him.
Such a domineering entrance immediately frightened the commoners who had gathered around to watch the Church Court execute the evil Undead Mage, causing their faces to change color as they quickly retreated to the distance.
This suddenly appearing figure was clad in a long robe that faintly emitted Demonic Qi, holding a large and fearsome weapon in his hand, clearly not someone benevolent.
And here he was, appearing at the church at the moment they were about to execute the evil Undead Mage, most likely associated with that mage.
Indeed, Qin Feng’s next actions confirmed this.
He swung his Long Spear, and a broad Fighting Energy Blade slashed toward the iron chains on the Undead Mage.
This ‘Fighting Energy’ Blade was extremely sharp, cutting through the originally sturdy chains with a single hit.
The two Guardian Knights guarding by the side shouted in anger, drawing their Cross Swords and charging toward Qin Feng.
Qin Feng let out a strange laugh, swept his Big Spear horizontally and easily knocked the two Guardian Knights away like hitting rag dolls.
He then stepped forward, reached out, and pulled out the iron nails embedded in Xiu Xin’s palms.
“Are you alright?” Qin Feng asked.
“Not really.”
Xiu Xin gave a bitter smile, “I am severely injured. Earlier, in an attempt to dispel the overbearing Qi left in my body by the one who severely wounded me, I exhausted all my True Yuan and now lack the strength to use an Escape Skill.”
“No worries, I’ll take you away now to heal you.”
Qin Feng spoke and reached out to support his arm, preparing to leave the area.
“How audacious!”
“Is there really a heretic bold enough to come to our place for a rescue? Truly seeking death.”
Just then, a group of Church Knights and several Red Robed Bishops suddenly charged out of the church.
Leading them was none other than Aleksey, the leader of the church’s Guardian Knights.
As for the several Red Robed Bishops, they were bishops overseeing churches in other cities who were gathering here to go to Holy Mountain.
Different from the Archbishop of Lanton City, these bishops were a level lower than the Archbishop; naturally, their strength wasn’t as formidable, but they were comparable to Magic Guide Masters.
“Heretic, you shall be executed.”
Aleksey, holding a Cross Sword, stepped forward and sent a crescent-shaped Fighting Energy Slash directly at Qin Feng.
Aleksey was a late-stage Golden Knight, commanding hundreds of Church Knights in Lanton City, holding a position of high authority and power. He had led attacks on heretics several times before, finding it effortless, so he was somewhat haughty. Seeing Qin Feng, he immediately charged forward.
In his view, this guy was no different from previous heretics.
However, he soon paid the price for his recklessness.
Qin Feng flicked his Big Spear. The heavy and wide body of the spear shattered the Fighting Energy Slash while also knocking away Aleksey’s Cross Sword, subsequently stabbing forward in a fluid motion.
The strike was incredibly fast.
Even as Aleksey tried to dodge, he only managed to avoid the spear’s blade but could not evade the Crescent Blade on the Sky Battle Halberd.
With a swift movement, the wide and sharp Crescent Blade slashed across the waist armor of this Knight Leader.
“Ah…”
Aleksey screamed, hurriedly retreating backwards, dropping his Cross Sword, his hands tightly clutching his waist, blood already gushing out like a fountain through his fingers.
Actually, with his strength, he wouldn’t normally fail to block even one of Qin Feng’s moves. However, his pride and underestimation of Qin Feng, coupled with his unfamiliarity with Qin Feng’s Martial Skills and weaponry, led to his quick defeat.
A trace of terror appeared on Aleksey’s face as he stared fixedly at Qin Feng, acutely aware that his intestines had been sliced by the opponent’s weapon; had the weapon moved slightly further, it might have bisected him at the waist.
This shocked him immensely. What kind of weapon was this, to be so sharp?
Could it be a Subdivine Weapon, perhaps?

The several Red Robed Bishops behind also changed expressions. To heavily injure a late-stage Golden Knight in one blow, it was likely that he was on the level of a Doro Holy Knight.
With this thought, they immediately halted in their steps, not daring to move forward.
For matters of life and death like this, it was better to let the Guardian Knights handle them; they were priests, better suited to hiding behind and casting Magic or performing rescues.
Like the Knight Leader Aleksey, who was now severely injured and needed their healing.
Thus, several Red Robed Bishops began chanting Spells, simultaneously casting Healing Techniques to treat Aleksey’s wounds and sending out Magic signals for help to summon back the Archbishop and Holy Knight who had gone to the west side of the city.
As long as those two returned, they would have nothing to fear.
In the woods to the west of the city, the two archbishops were investigating.
They were curious as to where the Fire Element Demon Beast had run off to, as it hadn’t left even a trace of its presence.
Just as they were puzzled, their expressions suddenly changed, and they turned to look toward the city, seeing that a Magic signal for help was coming from the direction of the church in the east.
“Not good, we’ve been tricked!”
“Who dares to provoke the Light God Church again and again, even daring to attack my church?”
The two didn’t dare delay, seeing so many magic signals erupt at once; it must be very dangerous. They feared that being late could result in severe casualties, so they were flying back at full speed.
Under the collaborative healing of several Red Robed Bishops, it wouldn’t be long before Aleksey’s originally fatal injuries would heal as if nothing had happened.
The bishops had a simple plan: heal the injuries of this Knight Leader and then have him stand at the forefront, to prevent the opponent from charging at them directly.
Meanwhile, the guardian knights fearlessly rushed toward Qin Feng.
Even though they had seen their leader severely wounded by the man in the black robe, there was still no fear in their eyes; they all charged crazily.
The Church Knights lived their lives in the church, filled with thoughts of loyalty to the Church Court, completely unafraid of death.
Then, they actually died.
After all, not fearing death doesn’t mean one can’t die. Qin Feng had no time to tangle with these knights; he had already sensed two powerful presences rapidly approaching from the west.
He had to leave before those two powerhouses returned, at the very least move away from the vicinity of the church, and then hide.
So he spared no effort, and although he did not use the Azure Dragon Battle Skill, he still struck with all his might.
The advancement of the Azure Dragon Daoist Body gave him tremendous strength; the Sky Battle Halberd, a Divine Weapon, was equally formidable, easily slicing through the knights’ Cross Swords and their Knight Armor. In just a few breaths, the square was littered with corpses, dozens of guardian knights slain by him.
Next, Qin Feng swung the War Halberd in his hand multiple times, slashing several broad ‘Fighting Energy Blades,’ then, taking advantage of the guardian knights not yet surrounding him, he quickly picked up Xiu Xin, his figure flashing as he ran swiftly to the distance.
Behind him, the Red Robed Bishops and white-robed Priests cast Light Element Magic, whether it be Light Arrow Rain, Magic Missiles, or the Light Spear, various long-range attack magic aimed at Qin Feng.
But before these spells could reach him, they were all shattered one by one by the swings of Qin Feng’s War Halberd, and shortly after, before the priests could continue chanting their magic spells, his figure rapidly disappeared from the street.
The guardian knights chased after him for a while but soon realized they couldn’t locate Qin Feng at all, and could only return in frustration.
Moments later, the Archbishop and Doro Holy Knight quickly returned, and upon seeing the scene of corpses strewn across the square, their faces turned pale.
Only upon discovering that the dead were merely ordinary guardian knights and that there were no high-ranking officials among the casualties did their faces slightly relax, though they still looked terribly upset.
“What happened?”
The Archbishop landed and asked the crowd.
“Reporting to the Archbishop, a heretic came to rescue that Undead Mage, and then…”
“How many people came?”
“Just one.”
“Hmph, a bunch of useless trash.”
The Archbishop cursed angrily, “Such heavy losses, and you couldn’t even detain a single heretic?”
“Archbishop, it’s not that we didn’t want to capture that heretic, he was simply too powerful.”
A Red Robed Bishop said, “That person only made one move and severely injured Aleksey. If we hadn’t rescued him in time, Aleksey might already be dead.”
“What? One move severely injured Aleksey?”
The faces of the Archbishop and the Doro Holy Knight changed. “Could it be that a Sword Saint Level individual has come?”
“This…”
Several Red Robed Bishops exchanged glances, then hesitantly said, “We’re not quite sure. His War Power is very strong, but if he really were a Sword Saint, he should have been able to defeat us easily. Yet, he quickly fled, and the way he resisted our spells when he left didn’t seem like that of a Sword Saint.”
“A Quasi-Sword Saint, perhaps?”
Holy Knight Doro nodded. “That would still be an extremely strong War Power. Which direction did he run?”
“South.”
One of the Guardian Knights said, “He ran faster than a Unicorn. We followed him south for a street but then lost track of him.”
Holy Knight Doro and the Archbishop exchanged looks. “It seems that the demon beast must be his Demon Pet. He only feigned an attack to lure us out, aiming to rescue the Undead Mage that I had captured.”
The Red Robed Archbishop nodded slightly, then with a frown said, “For a mere Undead Mage, a Quasi-Sword Saint Level expert came to risk a rescue. It seems the identity of that Undead Mage is no simple matter.”
“Speaking of which, that Undead Mage is indeed somewhat different from other Undead Mages. His Magic and Undead seem somewhat strange.”
Holy Knight Doro shook his head. He was not well-versed in Magic and didn’t know how to describe the differences.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and flew south. “I’ll go search to see if I can still trace him.”
…
Qin Feng hadn’t run very far. In fact, he hadn’t even left Lanton City.
After leaving the street where the church was, he used the Earth Escape Divine Power in an unseen spot to hide his presence and dived underground, then headed westward through the city.
He found an empty room near the church damaged by the Fire Ape and settled Xiu Xin there.
No masters from the Church Court would come to this place for the time being, at most some ordinary priests and knights to clean up the damaged church.
He placed Xiu Xin on the bed, his actions somewhat rough, causing Xiu Xin to wince in pain.
“Endure it. Can’t a big man like you handle this little pain?”
Qin Feng replied irritably, “Back when I was cultivating the Azure Dragon Daoist Body in the Dragon Transformation Pond, I stayed there for so long without making a sound. Your resilience is really too weak.”
Xiu Xin helplessly said, “Look at my current condition. I can’t even muster a bit of True Yuan, enduring this much is already pretty good.”
“Let me see.”
Qin Feng pulled open his clothes but failed to notice that the blood on his wounds had already scabbed and stuck to his clothes, causing Xiu Xin to roll his eyes in pain. “I’m telling you to be gentle. I might not die by those guys’ hands, but you might end up killing me.”
“With me here, how can I let you die so easily?”
Qin Feng waved his hand, and instantly a milky-white light appeared and landed on Xiu Xin.
This was the Healing Divine Power derived from the Azure Dragon Divine Technique when he had absorbed too much of the Power of Giant Dragon Origin and combined it with the Azure Dragon Daoist Body.
