Chapter 463: Battle Begins

The blocked entrance was not limited to the one where Qin Ran and Shi Qi were located. After investigation, the other two were also completely sealed.

bang bang!

Shi Qi knocked hard on the sudden stone wall.

Such a dull sound immediately made Shi Qi frown.

Based on experience, Shi Qi was able to judge that the thickness of this stone wall was at least beyond the range that ordinary people could dig.

Subconsciously, Shi Qi looked at Qin Ran.

Although it is beyond the scope of ordinary people, there are still existences here that are not ordinary people.

In Shi Qi's mind, it shouldn't be too easy for Qin Ran to break through such a stone wall.

However, to Shi Qi's surprise, Qin Ran frowned when he looked at the stone wall in front of him.

"Is there a problem with this stone wall?"

Shi Qi reacted immediately.

"Since the stone wall has appeared, it must be Smoot who wants to stop the people who enter the passage, and leave from here!"

"It's impossible for him not to know that I can break through these stone walls, so..."

While speaking, Qin Ran pulled out the [Words of Arrogance] from the box.

In a tentative way, stabbed a sword.

Woo!

Even though it was a tentative attack, the wide dark red blade still made a whistling sound.

Ding!

As sparks splashed, the tip of the sword pierced into the stone wall.

But then the strong 'temple power' suddenly burst out.

Dazzling, eye-catching white, like a flash bomb.

Even if Qin Ran had been prepared for a long time and retreated more than ten meters away the moment he realized something was wrong, he still felt the scorching pain all over his body again.

"Damn it!"

"This TM is obviously aimed at!"

"2567, are you okay?"

With cursing, Shi Qi quickly ran over.

"fine!"

"It seems that Smoot's 'jealousy' for Nicole is a little deeper than I thought!"

Qin Ran shook his head, but looked at Shibi with lingering fear.

If it wasn't for his habitual cautiousness and caution, that moment just now would have caused him to be seriously injured—although with the healing potion and [Wrist of Mordos. Recovery, even, even if it is a fatal attack, Kieran is sure to escape.

But the scene in front of him was enough to tell Qin Ran a message: Smoot must have made this place perfect in order to convince those who stepped into the trap.

There will be no loopholes for him to exploit.

And that's not good news.

Because, this will inevitably make it more difficult for Qin Ran to leave.

As for staying here and waiting for Smoot to return to announce the victory?

Ever since he figured out the ins and outs of the matter, Qin Ran had no such thoughts.

Although he didn't feel any malice from Smoot, the other party's indifferent attitude towards him was enough to show that the rumors that the other party was jealous of Nikelle were not groundless.

Likely to be true.

Moreover, it is very likely that there will be some secrets that ordinary people do not know.

Under such a premise, Qin Ran would be an idiot if he still stayed here.

After all, a person who can make such a layout, do you expect the other party to have a good attitude towards an assistant of an "old rival" who is unhappy and unable to fight?

The answer is obvious.

Qin Ran understood very well that it was wishful thinking to want the other party to send him away.

I'm afraid, being imprisoned in this 'prison' that was painstakingly built is the best result.

He had no doubts that when the other party was building this place, such thoughts had already emerged in their hearts.

And why?

Naturally, we have to wait for Nicolei to lead her.

Think about it, what kind of expression would a Smoot who had just wiped out the enemies inside and outside the sanctuary face the "God of the Earth" who lowered his head?

"I'm afraid you will be very proud?"

Qin Ran whispered.

"What?"

Shi Qi didn't hear clearly.

"nothing!"

It is far better not to say something that will only increase the burden when spoken.

Then, without waiting for Shi Qi to ask any more questions, Kieran started to touch the walls around the passage while holding the 【Words of Arrogance】.

As a result, when the force exerted on [Words of Arrogance] exceeded the scope of an ordinary person and reached the level of destroying the wall itself, the 'power of the temple' began to appear.

"Sure enough, Smoot won't leave us with such an obvious loophole."

"Since the entrance doesn't work and the walls don't work, then we only have one way left!"

Qin Ran pointed behind him.

"Smoot targeted you like this, how could he set up an exit?"

Shi Qi asked.

"It is for me that the exit will be set up!"

"If he really wants to imprison me, everything in front of him is naturally enough!"

"But what he wants to show is that he wants to torture me because of jealousy. Therefore, even if it is to convince those who have stepped into the trap, he will definitely leave an exit—a way I see. It’s an exit that I can’t touch at all!”

"Is there anything more tormenting than the hopelessness that is so close at hand but out of reach?"

Qin Ran looked at Shi Qi with a smile.

"If this is the case, I will definitely not be able to laugh!"

Shi Qi pursed his lips and shook his head.

Our sheriff couldn't have imagined what he would be like in that environment.

I'm afraid it will collapse?

Therefore, he was very puzzled as to why Qin Ran could say such words with a smile.

"The more desperate you are, the more you have to laugh, otherwise... there is really no hope at all."

"Despair is sometimes more terrifying and powerful than you imagine, but sometimes it is more pitiful and weak than you imagine."

"And whether it's scary and powerful or pitiful and weak depends on how you look at it."

Qin Ran walked towards the other side of the passage as he spoke.

Shi Qi immediately chased after him, and said in his mouth.

"Hey, don't make it sound like you've experienced despair."

"Also, is it really appropriate to describe despair as pitiful and weak?"

"Sometimes, it's appropriate!"

"I don't think it's appropriate at all!"

...

The voices of the two became farther and farther away.

Gradually disappeared.

And in the hall where Qin Ran and Shi Qi stayed before, a special team with a number of hundreds of people was gathering.

The leader's hair had long since fallen out, and his snow-white beard had grown to his chest. He was an old man whom Smoot called 'Waste Simon'.

The old man glanced at the closed trial passage.

Then, his eyes turned to Nisir who had been sluggish because of his appearance.

"Sorry, Nisir!"

"I didn't mean to deceive you!"

Simon bowed apologetically.

But Nisir was completely unresponsive.

Because, the deacon of the church was really surprised.

Inside the sanctuary, Smoot and Simon's feud was well known.

But now, it is Simon who is leading the team!

In an instant, many thoughts appeared in Nisir's mind.

"It was all cheated by Smoot and you!"

Nisir looked at Simon with a wry smile.

The latter bowed again full of apology, but he didn't have time to say another word.

Mysterious texts have emerged from the floor under their feet, and the white light has changed from light to thick, until it is dazzling.

"I wish you triumph!"

Nisir, who knew the meaning of it well, straightened his expression.

He clenched his right fist on his left chest and bowed his head in respect.

And his voice echoed endlessly in the wide hall, and finally spread out of the hall.

Just as the horn of the charge must resound through the sky, so does the sound of such words.

Although one person's voice is very weak, there are ten or hundreds of them.

How about a thousand?

And there are more than a thousand people in the church!

Their voices and fighting spirit gathered together and soared into the sky.

And in the distance...

A huge ship came sailing.

Under the moonlight, a series of large-caliber iron cannons radiated a heart-piercing cold.
