Chapter 206 You Are the New Hero in My Heart

North of the city, deep mountains.

Chen Ping, Su Xixi and Ma Zi were trapped in the barrier of the cave.

Even if Chen Ping activated the "sacrifice" and took out all kinds of trump cards, he could not shake the barrier at all.

At the moment, there were only three magic stones given by Letina, which Chen Ping was reluctant to use.

He had seen Letina's strength, which was an existence that could kill the devil in seconds. It was a waste to use a magic stone here.

Xue Na and others dealt with hundreds of bandits outside, rushed to the barrier in front of the cave, and bombarded the barrier in turns, but there was no effect.

"It seems..."

Chen Ping took out a magic stone casually, but before he could use it, the invisible barrier suddenly dissipated by itself.

Li Shan, who waved his spear to attack the barrier, staggered: "Damn, why is it gone?"

"Lionheart City!"

Chen Ping ran out first.

At this time, night had fallen. Standing on the hillside and looking south, a blazing fire had ignited in the direction of Lionheart City. Even standing in the North Mountain, one could feel the heat coming.

"I'll go first, you catch up as soon as possible!"

Chen Ping said, and the mechanical wings behind him instantly unfolded. With the blessing of the wind wings, he flew towards Lionheart City at a high speed.

Five or six minutes later, Chen Ping slowly landed in the sea of ​​fire in Lionheart City.

A large number of monsters with physiques as strong as mountains and metallic blue-gray skin, wearing heavy armor, were slaughtering the people in the city.

Their ferocious faces were covered by helmets, leaving only a pair of murderous eyes and occasional fangs, which made them look more barbaric and fierce.

The weapons in their hands were huge and heavy, and both the giant axe and the long sword were shining with cold light.

Chen Ping raised his hand, and the bracelet showed that he was a fourth-level demon berserker.

He killed his way to the front of the Glorious Temple. The guards outside the door suffered heavy casualties and almost lost their ability to resist.

The exquisite carvings on the wall had been completely destroyed. After killing several more demon berserkers, Chen Ping came to the hall.

"Translate for me!" The black-robed man yelled at Jingnan.

"Dream on!"

Jingnan had a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. He threw away the staff in his hand. His eyes turned scarlet. He drew out a dagger and rushed towards the black-robed man.

Chen Ping wanted to step forward, but was surprised to find that their strength was far above his.

The black-robed man actually reached the diamond level. Even if he couldn't kill Chen Ping with a casual blow, it was enough to seriously injure him.

Chen Ping has never been an impulsive person. He immediately took out the magic stone given by Letina, stepped back a few steps, and waited for the opportunity.

Jingnan, who was originally at a disadvantage, became stronger and stronger in the battle, and his strength even overwhelmed the black-robed man.

"This kind of power... Are you... a half-demon?" The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and stared at Jingnan.

"Go to hell!"

There was no holy aura on Jingnan's body. Holding the dagger, he launched a fierce attack on the black-robed man.

"Since you are a half-demon, then... it's the same!" The black-robed man laughed loudly and retreated. Then, a red magic circle suddenly appeared under his feet and then disappeared.

"Jingnan! You... you used that power again!"

As soon as the black-robed man left, before Chen Ping had time to step forward, Archbishop Barutu staggered over from the side hall.

"My Lord Bishop! I'm sorry... I didn't intend to use this power at all... but..."

Jingnan quickly recovered as usual, looked at his hands, and finally looked at Barutu.

"The more times you use this power, the easier it is for you to be eroded by this power."

"My Lord Bishop, the demons outside are gathering again!"

A knight covered in blood ran into the hall.

"This...what should I do!"

"By the way, you are bounty hunters, can you help save the people of Lionheart City!"

"No problem!" Chen Ping nodded, and secretly scanned the complete stone tablet with the scarlet bracelet. Although he didn't know the meaning of the text on it, it was always right to write it down first.

"My Lord Bishop, Miss Jingnan, you hide here first, and leave the demons outside to us!"

When Chen Ping left the cathedral, Ma Zi and others also rushed back to the city.

They all changed to red quality equipment, and the two of them could barely deal with a level 4 demon.

There were not many demon berserkers left in the city, and a few were severely injured by the Knights of the Temple.

"Xiao He, follow me closely!"

Chen Ping led Ke Heer all the way to the south of the city and dealt with more than a dozen demon berserkers.

Until late at night, the fire in the city was basically extinguished, and the demon berserkers were all turned into corpses.

"Warrior! Thank you for saving my life!"

In the chaos, Chen Ping also saved the tavern's proprietress Ella. She also killed several demon berserkers, which caused her old illness to relapse and she was accidentally attacked from behind by another demon berserker.

At the critical moment of life and death, she was saved by Chen Ping.

"It's just a small favor, you're welcome, proprietress!"

"The tavern is well preserved. There are several rooms inside. If you don't mind, you can stay here temporarily tonight!" Ella suggested.

The most severely damaged place in the city is the Glorious Temple. At least it is temporarily uninhabitable, so Chen Ping did not refuse Ella's kindness.

After simply rescuing some civilians, Chen Ping and others moved into the guest room of the tavern to rest.

The nights in the Star Continent seemed long and short. Chen Ping had a strange dream.

When he woke up, the sun shone into the room.

"Warrior, you are awake!" Ella looked at Chen Ping who had opened his eyes, with a blush on her face.

"Well, I was too tired last night... Those demon berserkers are very strong!" Chen Ping added.

"Actually, my real name is not Ella."

"Not Ella? What is your name?"

"My name is Karna. Ella is the name of a tavern owner who helped the God-chosen hero Lu Lan during the Fate Hammer War. Later, she was killed by the demons. I changed my name to pay tribute to this hero!"

"I told you my real name because you saved me last night and you are also the... new hero in my heart!" Ella looked at Chen Ping and said affectionately.

"It is also my honor to meet you!" Chen Ping said with a smile.

"You should be leaving soon, right?"

"Maybe, it should be soon!"

"I hope you won't forget me, whether it's Ella or Karna!"

"No!" Chen Ping answered seriously.

"By the way, have you heard of half-demons?" Chen Ping asked.

"Half-demons?" Ella's face changed slightly when she heard these three words.

"The Fate Hammer War left not only the destruction of civilization on the Star Continent, but also the fear of the demons!"

"Not long after the Fate Hammer War ended, a race of mixed demons and humans appeared. Their bodies resembled those of the demons and they also possessed similar powers to the demons!"

"All races have strong hostility towards these half-demons, and the most obvious hostile attitude is among the holy healers."

"In fact, there are many different opinions about the origin of half-demons. The two main ones are that they are the product of the combination of demons and humans, and that when the demons appeared, a red moon appeared in the sky. Later, the red moon was shattered by the chosen one, and some people were infected by those fragments and powder and turned into half-demons!"

"The country formed by the holy healers, the Saint Asia country, insisted on destroying the seeds of demons and launched a large-scale judgment under the banner of 'God's will'. Other countries stood idly by. Watching, and even if the half-demons had the power of the demons, they did not use it to resist, but just kept fleeing and wandering around the continent. "

"Finally, in order to survive, they went to Philadelphia in the cursed land. It was an abandoned place. There was nothing except the scars left by the life hammer war. The half-demons used the least resources to maintain a minimum life! "

"After a period of trial and error, they learned to hide their innate demon characteristics. They can maintain the image of humans in daily life, and the half-demons who can't control themselves have completely become demons. Although they are half-demons, they always feel that they are more human! "

"They think that when humans and demons go to war again, their power will be needed. This is the meaning of the existence of half-demons given by God. "

Ella finally sighed. After listening to her story, Chen Ping also understood Jingnan's true identity.

After a simple arrangement, Chen Ping led the team to the Temple of Glory.

Many seriously injured knights fully recovered with the help of the holy healer Jingnan, and the restoration of the temple was also carried out in an orderly manner.

In the center of the hall, Chen Ping saw Barutu and Jingnan, who looked exhausted.

"Thank you for your help. You are the benefactor of Lionheart City and our hero!" Barutu said gratefully after seeing Chen Ping.

"My Lord Bishop, you are too kind!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he took out the head of Qingta. This bounty mission was issued by Barutu, so he naturally had to find him to redeem the reward.

"This... The temple was just destroyed by those demons, and the losses were extremely heavy. I may not be able to give you the bonus for the time being!" Barutu looked a little embarrassed.

"My Lord Bishop is polite. This is also considered to be eliminating harm for the people. Even if there is no reward, I am willing to do it!"

"Heroic and righteous, I admire it!" Barutu was a little surprised by Chen Ping's answer. It was the first time he saw a bounty hunter who was not for the bounty.

"My Lord Bishop, I am also very interested in some magic. I wonder if I can read it..."

"The library of the temple is indeed the best preserved place. I can take the hero to read it without any restrictions!" Barutu agreed immediately.

Just as he was about to take Chen Ping away, Chen Ping's space stone moved.

Chen Ping paused and took out an item.

It was the mini hammer he got after clearing the last secret realm.

"What's going on?" Chen Ping frowned slightly.

"This... this secret that has been sealed for thousands of years... is finally going to see the light of day..."

Barutu also stopped.
