Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Chapter 1323: Luo Tian’s Scheme

The five rank nine demonic beasts were quickly dealt with.

The power displayed by the Paladin Legion was pretty incredible.

But the moment the five demonic beasts died, their bodies slowly vanished, and ten more demonic beasts charged out from the void.

They were exactly the same, still rank nine demonic beasts!

Luo Tian’s expression didn’t change as he looked at the Black Robe High Priest and said, “It seems your people tripped the mechanism. Before, there were five demonic beasts. And now there are ten. If we kill these, I’m afraid twenty more might appear.”

Luo Tian had already suspected this.

Originally, he wanted to wear down the Paladin Legion.

Perhaps even crippling them if not killing them.

But now, Luo Tian felt a sense of appreciation toward them. If even just a few of these paladins could be made to serve him, it would be an incredible asset. Leveling up in the future would be much easier.

The Black Robe High Priest smiled indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter how many demonic beasts of this level come. They are nothing to me.”

His voice was calm, showing complete disregard for these rank nine demonic beasts.

Was the strength of the Church truly that formidable?

Luo Tian replied, “You aren’t afraid, but what about these paladins? They aren’t invincible, and it isn’t right to use them as cannon fodder. You are an expert of the Honorable Emperor realm, so these demonic beasts might be nothing to you. But they will still cause trouble for your men, right?”

As Luo Tian was speaking, one paladin quickly found himself in a life-threatening situation under the pincer attack of several rank nine demonic beasts.

Had it not been for his extensive combat experience, he would have likely been turned into a pile of mangled flesh by now.

The Black Robe High Priest didn’t even glance at that paladin, simply stating coldly, “The Tribunal does not raise useless trash.”

He did not make a move.

But Luo Tian made a move, using his God Flame. He prayed silently in his heart, “God, please let this be an instant kill!”

It was unknown whether it was a massive burst of luck or his prayer actually worked; the unleashed blast of God Flame made a massive “boom” sound.

That demonic beast that was about to strike was blasted into ashes. Luo Tian had directly saved that paladin’s life.

Luo Tian’s use of God Flame shocked everyone present except for Liu Zhan.

This was especially true for Kailin!

Their Paladin Legion believed in power!

Luo Tian’s instant kill seemed even more formidable than Kailin’s Sky Sword Technique. She required two strikes, while Luo Tian killed his target instantly with one. For the paladins, this shock felt like an electric surge to their hearts.

The Black Robe High Priest narrowed his eyes. That flame had seemed ordinary, yet it exploded with such terrifying power. He smiled faintly and said, “It seems I underestimated you. But then again, how could someone chosen by the Ancient King be simple?”

In an instant, the Black Robe released a wisp of aura that settled on Luo Tian.

Illusion Fairy immediately warned Luo Tian, “He has left a trace of aura on you. Should I remove it?”

Luo Tian made a thought, “No need.”

The more the Black Robe High Priest guarded against him, the more it proved he was afraid.

This was exactly what Luo Tian needed.

The paladin who had narrowly escaped death quickly withdrew from the battlefield to be replaced. He gave Luo Tian a very respectful look, performed a knight’s salute, and said seriously, “Thank you!”

Luo Tian only smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.

The Black Robe High Priest’s eyes were cold as he harrumphed at that paladin, “Useless!”

Luo Tian did not intervene again for the rest of the battle.

Some things were best handled with restraint.

Doing too much would look fake and produce the opposite effect.

Because one of their own had been saved, the paladins were filled with gratitude toward Luo Tian. This was especially true for Kailin. Her gaze was different from the others because the person Luo Tian had just saved was her younger brother, Kailun. He was her only living relative in this world!

The battle continued.

Just as Luo Tian had guessed, once the ten rank nine demonic beasts were slaughtered, twenty more immediately rushed out.

Originally, only six paladins were fighting, but now fifteen had joined the fray.

The remaining few stood behind Luo Tian and the others.

Kailin struck out with her sword, forcing one demonic beast back, but another took advantage of the opening and swept its sharp claws toward her.

“Holy Light Shield!”

She blocked with a shield that materialized in her left hand.

“Ommm~!”

A halo of light emanated from the shield and neutralized most of the force, but her body still staggered backward. On her other side, another demonic beast moved as if being controlled and lunged forward instantly.

It unleashed an explosive double-fisted strike, slamming down from above.

Its fists were like a pair of heavy hammers.

“Commander…”

“Commander, watch out!”

“Sister!”

Kailin was very strong and a great fighter, but no matter how well she fought, she couldn’t possibly face four rank nine demonic beasts at once. Moreover, the intelligence of these demonic beasts was exceptionally high, no weaker than a human’s. They basically understood tactical coordination.

Luo Tian’s brow furrowed before he shouted at the Black Robe, “She’s in danger! Aren’t you going to act?!”

The Black Robe High Priest’s lips curved into a cold smile. “If she can’t even handle these demonic beasts, then she isn’t qualified to be the commander.”

He showed no intention of stepping in.

The Black Robe High Priest had his own plans.

He wouldn’t intervene for the sake of the Paladin Legion.

In truth, these paladins were all incredibly cold and arrogant. Within the Holy See, their faith wasn’t in some god, but in the most basic form of power!

In his eyes, it would actually be good news if Kailin died.

As long as Luo Tian didn’t die, nothing else mattered!

In an instant, Luo Tian made his move.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To him, it might be considered the most crucial moment of all.

If he wanted to possess such a super paladin legion, now was the time to demonstrate what true power looked like!

Luo Tian made a thought, “Level four physical body, activate!”

His body instantly became stronger, releasing a surge of raw power!

He shifted his stance before his body shot out like a ghost, positioning himself directly in front of Kailin as he clenched both fists tightly.

“Boom~!”

“Boom~!”

Air explosions erupted from his left and right.

“Shoulder Dash!”

“Whoosh~!”

“Boom~!”

Luo Tian’s body smashed forward, intercepting the demonic beast that was about to strike Kailin. He pointed his right finger and shouted, “Come at me if you have the guts! What kind of man would bully a woman?!”

Before Luo Tian could throw out some more provocative words, the demonic beast indeed abandoned its attack on Kailin and targeted him instead.

It slammed its massive fists downward.

Luo Tian didn’t move away, and he couldn’t afford to. He thought to himself, “Motherfucker, this daddy is putting everything on the line! I hope it works!”

He pushed his physical defense to its absolute limit.

Facing the heavy double-fisted strike of a rank nine demonic beast, he clenched his teeth and shouted back at Kailin, “Quickly get out of here!”

“Boom~!”

The demonic beast’s fists slammed down!

Luo Tian took the hit head-on!

A self-injury scheme?

Naturally.

Even if Luo Tian was no match for a rank nine demonic beast, his cultivation had reached the Great Diffusion 9th rank, and his physical body had reached level four. He should be able to withstand a single attack from a rank nine demonic beast, right?

Honestly, Luo Tian wasn’t entirely sure!
