Chapter 016: Klaus

“Good! I’ll set off right away!” After hearing Du Fan speak, Basha ended the call promptly.
“If Second Brother can make it in time, I think there won’t be any danger,” Nayiuxiu said, sighing in relief after hearing the end of Du Fan and Basha’s conversation.
Just as Nayiuxiu felt relieved, changes occurred in the camp of the Third Legion ahead! Behind the Third Legion, a force of 20,000 cavalry suddenly lifted the cloaks covering them, revealing their bright white armor! Even their horses were equipped with simple armor!
As soon as this army appeared, it headed straight forward. The soldiers of the Third Legion quickly cleared a path for them.
Seeing the energetic appearance of this army, with a faint magical aura surrounding them, Du Fan immediately sensed trouble!
This army was the ace of the Holy Church—the elite among cavalry: the Sacred Light Knights!
“Nayiuxiu, stay on the Qing Suo and keep an eye on everything. I have to go! This Sacred Light Knights isn’t something ordinary armies can withstand!” Du Fan said urgently.
“And you three, come with me too! Your dark magic can enhance the damage dealt to the Sacred Light Knights!” Du Fan added firmly.
Soon, the group of Sacred Light Knights reached the rear of the Third Legion’s cavalry. The Third Legion’s cavalry, who had been holding their positions, also cleared the way upon seeing their arrival. At that moment, Du Fan appeared along with three dual-elemental holy-level magicians.
As soon as Du Fan arrived on the battlefield, his first action was to summon Feifei, the massive boar!
This level-9 magical beast had no other special features aside from its huge size, immense strength, and impenetrable skin that made it practically invulnerable to weapons!
Of course, this invulnerability applied only to ordinary soldiers and weapons.
Du Fan certainly didn’t expect to single-handedly fight against 20,000 Sacred Light Knights! His sudden appearance was merely meant to disrupt their formation and battle plans!
But just as Du Fan raised his Thunder Sword to charge at the Sacred Light Knights, a giant light sword suddenly shot out from their ranks, aiming straight at him!
Judging from the power of that sword, it seemed determined to split Du Fan in two!

“Great timing!” Seeing this formidable lightsaber, Du Fan shouted loudly. A white light enveloped his body, and the energy forming an absolute defense field turned into a wall of light that headlined straight for that massive lightsaber!
Originally, Du Fan didn’t need to do this, but considering the three Holy-level magicians behind him, he chose to withstand it head-on!
With a screeching sound, the huge lightsaber shattered into countless fragments of light, which vanished entirely as they scattered.
At the same time, the wall of light in front of Du Fan also disappeared in an instant!
“Could that expert from the Church come out and meet me?” After blocking that lightsaber strike, Du Fan clearly sensed that the opponent was also a master of domain powers, so he spoke up directly.
While speaking, Du Fan waved his hand a few times behind him. Soon, the three dual-domain magicians cooperated and quickly retreated to the front line with Moses and Allen!
“Sir Du Fan, Klaus, deputy commander of the Light Knights, greets you,” said one knight below upon hearing Du Fan’s question, immediately bowing to him.
“Sir Klaus, I want to ask—why is the Church targeting my Green family? It seems our family hasn’t done anything wrong to the Church!” Du Fan suddenly spoke coldly upon realizing the powerful figure below was a master from the Church.
“I’m not aware of the specific details of this matter. But, Du Fan, for those thousands of Church heroes who were cruelly killed beneath Red Lake City, I will avenge their injustice today!” Klaus retorted fiercely in response to Du Fan’s cold tone.
“Haha! Hahaha! What a joke! You Church people are nothing but despicable tricksters who strike in secret! Just like this time—hiding among the guard troops. People like you dare call yourselves heroes? You’re nothing but wolves in sheep’s clothing!” Du Fan laughed loudly.
“Hmph! Even if you kill thousands of our priests, what can you do?” Du Fan said coldly again. “In my eyes, even if I wipe out all the scum in your Church, it won’t satisfy my desire for revenge for my father’s death!”
“By the Light God! Today, witness how I purge this heretic before me!” Klaus suddenly declared upon hearing Du Fan’s words.
“If that’s the case, Klaus, let me see your tactics,” Du Fan laughed heartily.
As soon as these words were spoken, Du Fan’s entire body suddenly glowed brightly!

With a loud roar, a massive surge of energy formed a green-colored blade, which immediately swept toward Klaus!
Klaus muttered something under his breath, and soon, a shield of light rapidly formed in front of him, blocking Du Fan’s enormous wind blade!
However, unlike before, this time it was Klaus’s shield that shattered first!
As his shield broke, Klaus had to dodge to the side. As soon as he did, the Holy Light Knights below suffered the consequences!
With a loud crash, beneath the sky full of wheat ears and straws, nearly a hundred Holy Light Knights along with their horses were torn to pieces by that blade!
It seemed these hundred or so Holy Light Knights were not going to survive!
“Du Fan, you’re truly heartless!” Klaus said bitterly, watching as over a hundred knights were killed in just one strike.
“Klaus, how can you not feel pain after you slaughtered so many soldiers from the Northern Legion back then?” Du Fan retorted fiercely.
……
In the midst of the Third Guard Corps, there was a group of people. If not observed closely, they would seem ordinary soldiers, but those who knew them would recognize that among them were the current Regent of the Gavin Empire, Prince Fischer, and the court’s chief mage, Master Abraham!
“It’s almost time. Tell the Green Dragon Army and the Black Snake Army to speed up!” Fischer said smilingly after seeing that the Holy Light Knights had been launched but slightly delayed by Du Fan.
Soon, the Northern Legion noticed that when the Green Dragon Army and the Black Snake Army were still ten miles away, they suddenly accelerated their pace!
“Perfect!” George exclaimed fiercely upon hearing the news!
Just as a huge black flag adorned with a terrifying face appeared on the plain on the side of the Black Snake Army, George shouted, “Brothers! The enemy has arrived! Gather your strength! We’ll drive them away in disarray and show those kids from the Black Snake Army that their forces can never compare to ours!”
“Roar!” Hearing George’s call, twenty thousand soldiers of the Northern Legion roared in unison!
It wasn’t until the Black Snake Army was five hundred meters away from George that he gave the order to attack!

At the same time, George’s Vajra Thunder Ape roared and led the charge at the Black Snake Army! George, riding on a warhorse, followed closely behind the Vajra Thunder Ape, leading ten thousand light cavalry in a swift assault on the Black Snake Army!
The Black Snake Army was also highly combat-effective! Even under the attack of twenty thousand troops from the Northern Legion, they managed to maintain their formation and resist the attacks tenaciously!
Just as George was about to dismount the knights of the Black Snake Army, a dark figure suddenly emerged from behind their ranks! The long sword in the figure’s hand was aimed straight at George!
When the figure reached George, it turned out to be Ulbas, the one who had fought against Moses at Xiaohan Pass!
At the sight of Ulbas, George felt a surge of relief. If Ulbas was in the Black Snake Army, then it was highly likely that Huamusi was in the Green Dragon Army. And in the armies of Carol and Xiao Yulong, who were fighting against the Green Dragon Army, there were no domain masters present!
Looking at Ulbas, George breathed a sigh of relief. Amidst the fierce battles on the battlefield, with warriors fighting everywhere, it would be impossible for Ulbas to succeed using only his assassination skills in such an environment.
Soon, the two clashed in battle.
……
“Master, it seems Klaus isn’t a match for Du Fan. You should go take care of him quickly,” Fisher said to Abraham, watching Carol struggling under Du Fan’s attacks.
“Yes, my lord!” Abraham replied promptly.
With a swirl of his sleeves, Abraham soared like a giant bird toward Du Fan and Klaus.
“Abraham, are you coming to die too?” Seeing Abraham flying toward him, Du Fan quickly flew to the side.
In this way, Du Fan, Klaus, and Abraham stood at three separate positions.
“Du Fan, stop talking nonsense and fight if you want to!” Hearing Du Fan’s words, Abraham didn’t waste time either. His ten fingers moved rapidly in the air as if playing a piano.
Soon, various colored lights began to emerge from Abraham’s hands.
Upon closer inspection, these lights came from seven rings on Abraham’s fingers.
After releasing the colorful lights, Abraham suddenly stretched out his hand and swiped—catching those lights in his palm!

Immediately afterward, Abraham’s hand trembled, and the colorful lights formed a whip-like weapon over ten meters long. Holding this colorful whip, Abraham swung it at Du Fan!
“Hmph! Abraham, what, you’re not using that broken bowl anymore?” Du Fan sneered as he saw the whip coming toward him.
Hearing Du Fan mention that destroyed divine weapon, Abraham became even angrier, and his whip swished even more violently!
With a flick of his wrist, Du Fan grasped Zhai Xing in his hand.
Zhai Xing could transform star combat energy into any imaginable weapon form. Soon, a long whip made of star combat energy emerged from its tip and rushed toward Abraham’s whip.
Star combat energy was already of extremely high quality, and after merging with radiant combat energy through mutation, its power increased even further!
Once the mutated star combat energy wrapped around Abraham’s colorful whip, Du Fan secretly channeled his strength!
Immediately, a series of crackling sounds came forth, and Abraham’s colorful whip exploded!
