# Chapter 445: Crystal Knight
"It's over. Today, I'm afraid we're all going to die here."
"Such powerful sound wave force, even the defensive formation can't block it."
...
The sound erupting from the Langhuan Golden Bell was like millions of vengeful spirits wailing, screaming, and slaughtering. It didn't just impact one's physical body but also affected the soul, making people timid and fearful.
Some of the Heaven Extreme Realm warriors of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group hadn't yet cultivated their Martial Soul, so they couldn't withstand the impact of the sound waves. Their souls were injured, they were terrified, and they wanted to escape.
But just as they rushed out more than ten zhang, they crashed into a golden light barrier. The light barrier emitted a repulsive force, sending them flying backward.
"I refuse to believe I can't even break through a light barrier."
A mercenary warrior whose cultivation had reached the Small Extreme Position of the Heaven Extreme Realm lifted a heavy Mysterious Iron War Blade, bent his legs, and sprang up.
Holding the blade handle with both hands, he gathered all his strength into the war blade and slashed downward, dragging a long blade aura behind him.
"Bang!"
That slash was like striking a bronze wall or iron barrier, producing a huge metallic collision sound and splashing out a large shower of sparks.
The piercing sound burst his eardrums, and bright red blood flowed from his ears.
With a clang, the war blade fell to the ground.
He flew backward, covering his ears with both hands, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony.
The Green Robe Star Envoy, whose entire body was burning with flames, laughed loudly, mobilized his true qi, raised his Blazing Flame War Hammer again, and struck the Langhuan Golden Bell once more.
"I'll block the sound wave attack. Mysterious Shadow Light Shield."
Silver Moon Lingkong formed hand seals, pushed upward, and a white sacred qi emanated from her body. Above her head, a circular light wheel immediately appeared, rotating slowly, blocking the sound wave attack.
The Mysterious Shadow Light Shield was a Ghost-grade mid-rank martial technique that could only be cultivated by martial artists who had awakened the Sacred Light Divine Martial Mark. Once cultivated to great perfection, it was enough to block the attacks of sacred artifacts.
Di Yi sneered coldly and said, "Silver Moon Lingkong has been restrained by the sound waves of the Langhuan Golden Bell and cannot make a move. Crystal Knights, now it's time for you to act! You are wearing Crystal Bone Armor and are immune to sound wave attacks. You must annihilate the Silver Sky Mercenary Group completely."
"Rumble!"
The sound of iron hooves rang out, kicking up a large cloud of mud and dust.
Led by two Knight Commanders, eighteen Crystal Knights, riding barbarian beast mounts and holding two-zhang-long Dragon Bone Spears, charged into the golden light curtain.
The Crystal Knights were invincible, cutting down the warriors of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group in a chaotic rout.
A mercenary warrior whose cultivation had reached the Middle Extreme Position of the Heaven Extreme Realm, holding a heavy sword with both hands, leaped seven meters high, flew behind one of the Crystal Knights, and swung his sword diagonally, slashing at the left side of the Crystal Knight's neck.
"Bang!"
The heavy sword struck the Crystal Bone Armor, producing an explosive sound, but it didn't break the armor.
That Crystal Knight suddenly turned around, revealing an icy gaze, and thrust out his sharp Dragon Bone Spear.
"Pfft!"
The Dragon Bone Spear pierced through the mercenary warrior's lizard-skin armor, stabbing straight through his body. The tip of the Dragon Bone Spear came out from the warrior's back, exposing half a meter of blood-red bone shaft.
The Crystal Knight lifted the mercenary warrior on the Dragon Bone Spear, blood continuously dripping down the shaft.
"Die!"
Tu Ling clenched her snow-white teeth, a cold light of hatred in her eyes. Holding a serpentine crystal longsword with one hand, she broke through the air from ten zhang away, thrusting toward the left eye of that Crystal Knight.
Her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Heaven Extreme Realm, and she was a master on the Heaven Ranking. The serpentine longsword in her hand was a ninth-rank True Martial Treasure.
As she thrust out her sword, a cold chill surged from the blade, as if it would freeze the air.
That Crystal Knight let out a hoarse laugh, shook his arm, and spun the Dragon Bone Spear, shaking the corpse of the previous Heaven Extreme Realm Middle Extreme Position mercenary warrior into pieces, which flew out as bloody fragments.
Then, holding the spear with both hands, he used it like a staff and fiercely swung it at the charging Tu Ling.
Tu Ling didn't clash head-on with the Crystal Knight. She immediately withdrew her sword technique and, like a beautiful snake, used agile footwork to rush along the Dragon Bone Spear to the Crystal Knight's front.
"Whoosh!"
She struck out with her sword again, like a snake spitting its tongue, still aiming for the Crystal Knight's left eye.
Just as she was about to succeed with her strike, suddenly, another Dragon Bone Spear thrust out from her left side, piercing the armor on her left shoulder and leaving a long bloody gash.
Tu Ling's expression changed as she saw another Crystal Knight appearing on her left.
The strength of a Crystal Knight was already comparable to a Fish-Dragon Realm First Transformation powerhouse. Moreover, they were impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire.
Although Tu Ling was ranked in the top one hundred thousand of the Heaven Ranking and was powerful, she was in constant danger under the combined attack of two Crystal Knights, forced to dodge, and nearly had her body pierced by the Dragon Bone Spears several times.
"Bang!"
After dozens of exchanges, one of the Crystal Knights swung his spear and struck Tu Ling's abdomen, sending her flying backward, spitting blood, and crashing heavily to the ground.
"Die."
The other Crystal Knight drove his barbarian beast to Tu Ling's front, raised his Dragon Bone Spear, and thrust it down at her chest.
Tu Ling pressed her hand against her chest, feeling as if her five viscera were splitting with pain, unable to even move a finger. Looking at the spear thrusting down from above, her eyes were filled with despair.
Suddenly, a young figure appeared before her. It was Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stretched out his arm, and his five fingers emitted purple lightning light, tightly gripping the Dragon Bone Spear.
The tip of the Dragon Bone Spear was less than an inch from Tu Ling's chest.
Seeing the young man standing beside her, Tu Ling's expression relaxed. "Zhang Ruochen."
She quickly mobilized her true qi, circulating it through her body in a major cycle. Her injuries recovered somewhat, and she immediately struck the ground with her palm, springing up.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Dragon Bone Spear with one hand and flicked out a fifth-grade healing pill with the other. "Take this first."
"Thank you."
Tu Ling didn't stand on ceremony. She took the healing pill and immediately swallowed it.
"Hmph, kid, you're asking for death."
That Crystal Knight didn't take Zhang Ruochen seriously at all. Holding the Dragon Bone Spear with both hands, he mobilized all his strength, trying to fling Zhang Ruochen away.
But Zhang Ruochen's feet seemed rooted to the ground. No matter how hard that Crystal Knight tried, he remained completely still.
"One-Character Heart Piercer!"
The other Crystal Knight immediately rushed up, executing a domineering move. He thrust his spear forward horizontally, carrying a tremendous force, aiming at Zhang Ruochen's chest and abdomen.
"Zhang Ruochen, be careful! The combined attack formation of the two Crystal Knights is extremely powerful, doubling their combat strength." Tu Ling warned.
Tu Ling's cultivation was already quite strong. If she only faced one Crystal Knight, she was confident she could defeat him.
But against two Crystal Knights, she couldn't hold out for a hundred moves, showing just how formidable the Crystal Knights' combined attack techniques were.
"Dragon God's Tribulation."
Zhang Ruochen showed no fear. He flew up from the ground, rushed in front of the Crystal Knight, and struck out with his palm, unleashing a large area of lightning light.
