Chapter 253: A Surprise Attack

“Young master, look. The fire element fluctuation of this dragon crystal is very pure. It must have been a green dragon that was close to advancing; such a pity,” One of the knights said.

The child jumped off the warhorse with a smile, stroked the dragon crystal, and said, “What are you waiting for? Go and fetch me the dragon scales.”

“Young master…” The other knight said with a disgruntled face, “That is a fully-grown dragon. If it’s only us, it’s impossible…”

Before the knight could finish his sentence, a black figure appeared like lightning out of the ground. Then, a few white flames were shot out at the same time, causing the knights to be divided.

Most of the knights had been completely focused on the huge dragon crystal, and Han Jin had attacked the knights in close proximity, which had caught them by surprise. Only one of the knights who was furthest from Han Jin managed to dodge the attack, while the rest of them were instantly hit.

With the flashing movements of the white flames, the knights screamed in pain. Han Jin rushed forward toward his only opponent while the knight drew out his sword. Before the sword could reach Han Jin, a cold current that could immediately freeze his blood circulation immediately surrounded Han Jin. Afterward, the knight thrust his sword toward Han Jin’s throat.

Han Jin took a deep breath and threw a Fire Charm toward the knight. He had seen Moxinke and Hayden fight a couple of times, and the fighting spirit of the knight standing in front of him was extremely strong. His ability was definitely beyond Hayden’s; he was at least a tenth-grade swordmaster!

Initially, the knight had wanted to use the force from his Defense Strength of Fighting to split the flame apart, but he immediately changed his idea once he saw the miserable state of his companions from the corner of his eyes. The sword light flashed across and hit the flame that was coming in his direction.

A huge explosion occurred. The white flame was stuck onto the sword and was brightly burning. The knight’s face turned pale. He threw the sword toward Han Jin, took a step to the left, and drew out another sword from one of the knights that were rolling on the floor and screaming in misery.

The speed at which the knight had thrown out the sword was extremely fast. Fortunately, Han Jin had a habit of chanting the Art of Spirit Possession before any battle started. His head instantly moved to the side while the sword swept directly next to his neck. The violent wind following the sword still rang in the air.

Han Jin was no longer a rookie to life-threatening battles. He showed no signs of fear and continued to attack while releasing another Fire Rune. The knight snorted and released a large dazzling sword light. The sword was originally about one meter long, but at the moment, the sword had a sword light that was two or three meters long. The sword harshly swept across, and along with its sword light, the Fire Rune Han Jin had released scattered into pieces. The sharp edge of the sword was still slashing toward Han Jin’s waist. It was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone!

When the sword light emerged, Han Jin felt that something was wrong and immediately moved backward. The sword light swept toward Han Jin’s waist, and the sharp wind violently ripped Han Jin’s robe apart. Although he had the Art of Spirit Possession to protect him, the frozen air still managed to leave a green mark on Han Jin’s abdomen.

If Han Jin were the one who had the upper hand, he would continue to chase after victory, and this was exactly what his opponent did! The knight did not show any mercy. He jumped into the air and shouted, “Frozen Seal…” The dazzling sword light became even brighter, and a faint mist that wrapped around it headed in Han Jin’s direction.

Han Jin continued to move backward, or in other words, he was blown backward by the current heading in his direction. The mist that was wrapped around the sword smashed onto the ground like a sledgehammer. About a dozen meters of their surroundings were immediately covered with frost.

Han Jin frowned. He was in a hurry and hadn’t expected to encounter such a difficult opponent!

The knight stopped attacking Han Jin. Instead, he took a diagonal step, trying to block a person behind him, and vigilantly stared at Han Jin.

This was an unnecessary move. Han Jin’s eyes flicked and immediately thought of the thunderbirds who had forcibly destroyed a meteorite in order to protect their eggs.

Han Jin immediately opened his mouth and a green-ray shot out. It immediately turned into a giant sword that was at least twenty meters long and had weird engravings all over and swung it against the knight. Han Jin had not used this skill for a very long time. It may have some effect when used against normal professionals, but when facing a real superior, it is unlikely to cause any harm to the opponent. The battle with Caroline had been one of his most unforgettable lessons.

But, that was one situation, and this was another.

The knight was shocked. He then let out an explosive roar and ran toward the giant sword. His glow from his fighting strength was shining at its brightest. He had also noticed that this attack would be immensely powerful and that he had only one choice.

There’s always a difference between guesses and the truth. Only those who have witnessed it first hand would know how scary Han Jin’s skills are! Even if Yalina were to be given enough time to set up magic matrices and magic protective skills, Yalina still wouldn’t dare stand in the same spot when resisting Han Jin’s attacks.

A loud explosion occurred. The mist that had been released by the knight exploded like a fragile balloon, and the dazzling sword light scattered like a piece of glass. Next, the knight’s sword was crushed into ashes, and finally, the knight fell to his knees like a dead fly.

This time, the one who would pursue victory was Han Jin. He released another fire rune, and it directly hit against the knight’s body. The knight slightly struggled for a while, and then became motionless.

The child had been laughing with excitement this whole time – maybe because he had thought that his knight could protect him. When the last knight was defeated, he finally realized that he was wrong and looked at Han Jin with fear as he moved backward step by step. ” You… what are you doing? Please don’t… don’t come over… I can give you everything!” He took out a variety of items like gadgets, gold coins, magic crystals, and even his snacks, and threw it all over the floor.

Han Jin looked at the child and noticed a space ring that was even larger than a gold coin sitting on the child’s soft and tender finger. However, Han Jin did not want to rob from a child. He walked toward the child and said, “I don’t want anything from you, as long as you sleep for a while.”

“What?” When he heard that Han Jin only wanted him to sleep and had no intention of harming him, he stopped moving backward. He looked at Han Jin in shock and said, “But… I can’t fall asleep now…”

“That’s not a problem.” Han Jin smiled. “I can make you sleep.”

As Han Jin got closer to the child, the child’s head gradually leaned back, and his eyes were full of fear and were pleading for mercy. Han Jin bent down and gently hit the child’s neck. The child rolled his eyes and softly fell onto the ground.

It was finally quiet. Han Jin let out a sigh of relief and walked toward Murphy’s body. He paused for a moment and said to himself, “I’m so sorry that I couldn’t help you.” Although he felt a little guilty, if he was to face the same situation again, he would do the same thing. If Murphy had already advanced to the rank of Golden Dragon, there may still have been a chance for them. But to pit a Green Dragon against a Golden Dragon and Han Jin against a Dragon Knight? It was useless. Moreover, Murphy had already been injured, and all of their efforts had gone to waste.

Then, Han Jin turned around and strangely stared at the dragon crystal. His companions had sacrificed themselves to buy time for him, but he, on the other hand, had been too occupied with looking for the dragon crystal. This was a little unreasonable, but now wasn’t the time to explain himself. Nicholas’s battle flag was waving in the airs of St. Petersburg, and even the Dragon Knight had entered and was roaming around St. Petersburg. This meant that the thing that Jeddes had been worried about has happened!

Of all of Nicholas’s strengths, the most daunting one was his unfathomable strength! If it was only wisdom alone, no one had the upper hand. Guevara has won many, but has also failed as well; his experience of victory and sorrow wouldn’t be any lesser than Jeddes’s. Jeddes has been dealing with Nicholas as a subordinate, and Lola, who has always been the weaker one, was still able to stop Nicholas’s expansion. This meant that both of them wouldn’t be much weaker than Nicholas.

However, Nicholas’s strength was too strong. Jeddes had mentioned before: five years ago, he had used only two swords to defeat Archie, who was a sword saint. The first sword had shattered Archie’s sword light and blasted Archie hundred meters away, and the second one had destroyed Archie’s Defense Strength of Fighting. Nicholas’s popularity among the citizens was mostly due to his strength. What would be more inspiring than seeing the sword saint whom they had all thought was undefeatable be defeated?!

Murphy’s death naturally meant that the dragon crystal would become loot. Instead of allowing Nicholas to get the dragon crystal, he would rather keep it to himself. This was the cruelty of the world. However, he hadn’t expected the dragon crystal to be so huge.

Han Jin sighed as he placed the dragon crystal into his space ring. As he was about to leave, something that was flowing down from Murphy’s body caught his attention.

The fatal wound that had caused Murphy’s death was on his neck. The knight who practiced frozen skills was not bleeding as his wounds were all frozen. Murphy had similar wounds on his chest, but they were all burnt and were not bleeding as well. However, the knights had cracked open the dragon’s skull and had removed the crystal. This meant that all this blood was flowing from the dragon!

Murphy had a big physique, so even though his heart had already stopped pumping, his blood had not clotted. The blood that was flowing out had a golden glow with a trace of warmth. It was dripping down drop by drop which had finally formed a stream of blood.

Han Jin hesitated as he thought about his past. He remembered the time when he had completely exhausted all of his energy during a battle, and at his most desperate state, it was the dragon’s blood that had saved his life. It had even helped him breakthrough! If a young dragon had such powerful energy, what about an adult one?!

But at the same time, Murphy was his comrade. Although they had only known each other for a couple of days, it was shameless for him to also take the dragon blood after taking the crystal. Han Jin became very conflicted; should he leave? But the energy shouldn’t be wasted, right? Han Jin struggled between these two, but Jeddes’s worry and fear finally made the decision for him. Once the Crucia were to collapse, there wouldn’t be anyone left to stop Nicholas!

Han Jin raised his sword light and flew over to Murphy. Perhaps it was because of the desire for power or something else, but his lips were trembling. Han Jin leaned down and swallowed a mouthful of the golden dragon blood.

This was not blood! It was a burning fire, a feeling of extreme comfort! Han Jin felt that every single cell in his body was screaming in excitement. He was so excited that he wanted to cry, dance, and even sing to vent his emotions. But in the end, he chose to take a deep breath and lean down again.

The child who was supposedly unconscious suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Han Jin without making any sound. His face showed a cold and evil expression that was not usually found in children of his age! He slowly picked up a sword and quietly walked toward the dragon’s head. He then jumped while directly piercing the sword toward Han Jin’s back.

No one would expect this child to be a martial art genius! A true professional! On the other hand, Han Jin was still immersed in his dream, unaware of the danger heading toward his direction.
