Chapter 842 The Inheritance of the Paladin

“Holy Light Slash!”

Jankovic pulled his sword out before Cesar could figure out what had happened.

“Divine Master controls everything. Divine Master says that time stands still, and time will stand still—the Great Prophecy.”

Alex obviously didn’t want to miss this golden opportunity. She froze the surroundings around Cesar with the Great Prophecy.

Faced with the combined attacks of the two great experts of the Divine Court, Cesar hurriedly protected himself with the black mist.

He was no match for the Pontifex Maximus and the Paladin. The black mist was quickly purified by the Holy Light Cross Sword.

After the black mist dissipated, they saw Cesar’s face clearly.

It was an extremely horrible face. His hollow cheeks were ghostly pale like a skull and his gloomy and horrible eyes shone with a vicious light.

“Cesar, go to hell!”

Seeing that he was about to make huge contributions, Jankovic became excited and raised the Holy Light Cross Sword for the second time.

“It’s not that easy to kill me!”

A flicker of a mad smile crossed Cesar’s weird face. Then he chanted a spell quickly.

“Dear God of Darkness, I am willing to sacrifice my life. I pray to you to use the curse of darkness and let these people present become your sacrifice — The Curse of the God of Darkness!”

At the last moment of his life, the great wizard did not wait to die. Instead, he sacrificed his own life to use the most powerful form of dark magic: the Curse of the God of Darkness.

When he had finished reciting this spell, his body burst into a mist of blood before the sword could reach him.

What was strange was that the bloody mist did not dissipate; instead, it exuded a huge pressure, as if the God of Darkness was really here.

Qin Haodong was also shocked. The reason why he had set up the Trapping Array was that he wanted to kill Cesar, who was their potential enemy.

Besides, he wanted Jankovic to fight with Cesar and both of them would be injured. He didn’t expect that this guy would use such terrible dark witchcraft.

He immediately took out the Demon-vanquishing Wand from his Storage Ring to keep his friends safe.

The wand was a Buddhist weapon. It immediately detected the aura of the dark magic and shone with the Buddhist halo.

Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief. He then covered Xi Youmi, Alex, and the others with the halo.

In order to get credit, Jankovic had rushed toward Cesar. He was too far away from them and was not covered by the Buddha Halo and there was nothing Qin could do to save this man.

Everything happened in an instant. The Curse of the God of Darkness was triggered by Cesar’s life, so its power was astonishing.

Jankovic, who was scared out of his wits, tried his best to fight off the mist with his sword.

However, the weak power of the Cross Sword was not able to withstand the curse of the God of Darkness. In the blink of an eye, the holy light was consumed, and then Jankovic was enveloped in a mist of blood.

“Ah…”

Jankovic let out a mournful howl. Then with a clatter, his sword fell to the ground.

The blood mist came forward and enveloped Qin Haodong and the others. A blurry huge demon God opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow them in one gulp.

However, the Demon-vanquishing Wand was a holy weapon of Buddhism. The Buddha’s light blocked the blood fog like a solid barrier.

A few seconds later, the Demon God roared unwillingly and then slowly dissipated in the air.

After the blood mist dissipated, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief, as if they had just been through hell.

Cesar’s body had disappeared and there was only a single crystal staff left.

Alex looked quickly in Jankovic’s direction, but there was nothing there except his Holy Light Cross Sword.

She immediately turned pale. The loss of the Pontifex Maximus, Anthony, yesterday, and the death of a Paladin, Jankovic, today, was a great blow to the Divine Court.

Qin Haodong looked indifferent. He picked up the Holy Light Cross Sword and said to Alex, “Don’t be sad. Anyway, you’ve killed a high-level Great Wizard. That is a trade-off.”

Alex came to her senses, shook her head, and said, “There are only four Paladins in our Divine Court. Now one of them has been killed. I’m afraid I can’t explain it to Divine King.”

Lev said, “There’s nothing to explain here. Cesar’s dark witchcraft was terrifying and all of us would have died if Master hadn’t protected us in time.”

Alex knew it. She said to Qin Haodong, “Qin, thank you for saving me.”

“It’s nothing!”

Qin Haodong held the Holy Light Cross Sword and asked, “It looks great. Is it the holy weapon passed down in your Divine Court?”

Alex said, “That’s right. Like the sacred Six-lights Star, the Holy Light Cross Sword is a holy weapon of the Divine Court. Only by obtaining its inheritance can one become the new Paladin.”

Qin Haodong suddenly had an idea, “What do I need to get the inheritance of the Paladin?”

“The knights of the Divine Court have to be strong, brave, pure, and righteous at the same time!”

Qin Haodong said, “That’s easy. I know someone who meets all your requirements. He can get the inheritance of your Paladin.”

Alex asked in surprise, “Really? Are you serious?”

Typically, it took two to three decades to find a successor, so once the Paladin or the Pontifex Maximus died, the Divine Court would suffer a severe blow and would not be able to regain its strength in a short time.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Miss Alex, how could I lie to you?

“Well, you can take rest for a while and I’ll give one alive and kicking Paladin back to you. He’ll definitely be ten times stronger than the previous one.”

Alex nodded in confusion, but at the same time, she still hoped that Qin really had an excellent candidate. If she could quickly find the inheritor of the Paladin, the Divine King might not be so angry.

Xi Youmi brought Alex and the others back into the room while Qin Haodong called Chen Fugui. “Come here. There’s something you need to do.”

Ma Wenzhuo, Chen Fugui, and the others were lurking near his house. After receiving the order, Chen Fugui soon came into the courtyard of the villa.

“Boss, what do you want me to do?”

Qin Haodong showed him the Holy Light Cross Sword. “I want you to get the inheritance of this sword and become the Paladin of the Divine Court.”

Chen Fugui said hesitantly, “Boss, is this okay?”

“Of course. You’ll be as powerful as the Saint if you can get the inheritance of this sword. Don’t you want it?”

“Of course I want to improve my strength, but I’m a bit of a boor. Do you really think I can be the Paladin?”

“Don’t worry about that. Just do as I say.”

Then he asked Chen Fugui to take a Purifying Pill.

As a ninth-level grandmaster and a former soldier, Chen Fugui was both strong and brave. At the same time, he was very righteous, the only thing he lacked was a pure constitution.

After taking the Purifying Pill, the only obstacle was now removed.

“Have a try.”

Qin Haodong then waved his hand and the Holy Light Cross Sword flew toward Chen Fugui.

The moment he grabbed the hilt of the sword, the sword suddenly shone, and Chen suddenly had many new memories in his mind. So this was the inheritance of the Paladin.

As Qin Haodong had expected, Chen Fugui became the Paladin of the Divine Court easily.

Feeling the sudden surge of the aura of light, Alex ran out of her room.

She was quite stunned at her first sight of Chen. She didn’t expect that the Holy Light Cross Sword would really be passed down so quickly.

“Miss Alex, this is my friend, Chen Fugui. From now on, he’ll be the new Paladin of your Divine Court.”

“Oh my god, how did you do it?”

So many amazing things had happened these days. Yesterday the holy Six-lights Star chose a Huaxia man while today the Cross Sword was also passed down to a Huaxia person.

This broke the thousands of years of tradition of the Divine Court, and also changed her perception of the holy force.

“Miss Alex, I didn’t do anything. It’s just that my friend has everything that is in line with your conditions, so I asked him to have a try.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Do you think I can really control the inheritance of your Divine Court?”

Alex was convinced. Both the holy Six-lights Star and the Holy Light Cross Sword were holy weapons that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Divine Court. It was said that they were treasures left behind by the Divine Master.

Even the Divine King could not decide the inheritor, let alone this young Huaxia man. At the thought of this, all her doubts were dispelled.

Qin Haodong said to Chen Fugui, “Show Miss Alex your inheritance.”

Chen Fugui nodded, took out the Holy Light Cross Sword, and swung it.

The blow came with a sharp sound and a dazzling holy light.

Alex’s expression changed again. The power that Chen Fugui had displayed was so great.

Not only was the holy light more than twice as powerful as Jankovic, but it also had a fierce aura. This was something that none of the Paladins possessed.

Of course, she didn’t know that Chen Fugui used to be a ninth-level grandmaster and he was now practicing both the skills of the Divine Court and the Huaxia martial arts.

In addition, he was better than Jankovic when it came to the requirements for paladins. He was stronger, braver, and more righteous. After taking the Purifying Pill, he even had a higher inheritance than Jankovic.

Both Khorkina and Lev looked shocked. If they were to fight against such a powerful Paladin, the only option would be to run away.

Qin Haodong said to Alex, “What do you think? Are you satisfied with my friend?”

“Qin, you really surprised me,” Alex said. “But I have to report this to Divine King after such an important thing has happened.”

It was naturally a good thing for Chen Fugui to be powerful, but it was also weird for two Huaxia men to join the Divine Court. She had to report it to Divine King immediately.

Then Alex left the villa with Chen Fugui and headed toward the Grand Duke Andrey’s Manor together.

Looking at their backs, Qin Haodong smiled playfully. What would Divine King think if he replaced all the Pontifex Maximus and the Paladins with his men from Huaxia?

After dealing with the matters of the Divine Court, he turned back and said to Khorkina and Avril, “Please come with me.”

Then he took them to the small valley not far from the villa. First, he set up a formation to block the aura, and then he set up a Taiyin Qi-gathering Formation.

“Please get ready. I’ll help you improve your strength.”

“Thank you, Master!”

Khorkina said excitedly.
