There was also a man in a kimono chasing after Fang Linyan.
He was originally wearing a windbreaker, but after recovering from the blindness caused by the flash grenade, he took off the windbreaker, revealed the kimono inside, rushed toward Fang Linyan, and pressed his left hand on the katana handle at his waist.
Seeing the momentum of this man rushing forward, he looked like hunting a beast, which gave Fang Linyan a sense of danger!
But at this time, Fang Linyan had no intention of fighting with him. He just locked on to the falling artifact and charged toward it at full speed.
Fang Linyan’s current agility was almost 3 times that of a normal person, and the Basic Step LV7 played an amazing role.
He quickly jumped off the cliff and climbed down. His movements were as agile as an ape. Many movements could even be edited into the parkour collection.
Almost under the condition of ensuring safety, he reached the bottom of the cliff at the fastest speed.
Fang Linyan saw that the artifact fell down just within a minute, but the vegetation around all turned yellow and withered.
This was caused by the large amount of dead aura contained in it.
After the artifact landed, a large number of illusions appeared above it. There were shrill screams, and there was a shocking fire. If it was an ordinary person, he would have been enchanted.
This artifact did not belong to this world at all, so after falling to the ground, it tried its best to assimilate the surrounding environment.
After Fang Linyan saw such a strange situation, he couldn’t help but say worriedly,
“High priestess, I have activated [Athena’s Blessing] now, but my HP is pitifully low…”
“This thing looks very lethal. Are you sure this thing can’t pierce the magic shield? Otherwise, I’m dead!”
The high priestess said in a confident tone,
“Don’t worry. I promise there will be no problem.”
Fang Linyan mustered his courage and rushed forward, then he found that the magic shield surface began to ripple with golden light. Obviously, the goddess’ divine power was repelling those dead aura and illusion.
Then he approached this artifact, the divine power of the Goddess surged up instantly, dispelling the illusion. Fang Linyan immediately saw its appearance.
This thing was a windscreen that looked very decayed.
The silk and satin covering the windscreen had turned yellow, and the frame looked like human bones. It gave a sense of desolation.
However, the font on it had turned black. It seemed that a long time had passed since it was written with human blood.
A corner of the windscreen had even been burned, revealing an ugly black border, which looked like burnt paper money too.
The windscreen was written with a long poem:
Fifty years in the world are nothing compared to the sky. (Come from Atsumori)
Everything is as illusive as water.
Letting life run its course, entering oblivion as it arrives.
The enlightenment of Bodhi and the feeling of remorse fill the heart.
You are going to the capital right now. If you see the head of Dun Shengqing!
Looking at the world, there is no one who can live forever.
…
If one looked carefully, he could find that the handwriting on this windscreen was full of melancholy in its domineering style. It also expressed the desolate feeling of a hero’s end.
Fang Linyan read the content carefully, then he came back to his senses,
“This… isn’t this the farewell poem of Oda Nobunaga, a powerful daimyo who almost ruled the world during the Warring States Period in Japan?”
The overlord Oda Nobunaga, on the eve of unifying the world, was rebelled by his general Mitsuhide, then he set fire to kill himself at the Honnoji Temple in Kyoto.
It was also the largest and most famous coup in Japanese history.
Because Oda Nobunaga once did the evil thing of burning Mount Hiei and slaughtering seven thousand monks.
And Mount Hiei was a Buddhist holy place at that time, so there had been rumors about it.
He was the reincarnation of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, and he was the enemy of Buddha.
Nobunaga’s final outcome was also self-immolation at the Honnoji Temple, which was his retribution for burning Mount Hiei.
…
At this time, time was running out, Fang Linyan put aside these distracting thoughts and reached out to grab this seemingly dilapidated screen.
His behavior immediately enraged the man in kimono with a katana who was chasing after him. He roared angrily and slashed at a distance of tens of meters!
After the katana slashed, it actually formed a wheel-shaped terrifying aura that launched toward Fang Linyan from a long distance.
But Fang Linyan jumped to the side to avoid his slash.
Then he grabbed onto the dilapidated windscreen while dodging.
Immediately, illusion appeared in front of his eyes. A man in a white and red robe sat in the room. His body was already stained with blood.
There were many scorched black monsters that looked like evil spirits roaring and writhing around.
There were shrill shouts and cries.
However, this illusion was fleeting. As Fang Linyan’s body gleamed with golden light, the illusion of an olive tree appeared to directly suppress it, allowing him to grab this windscreen without any danger.
After Fang Linyan touched this thing, he felt as if he was touching the cold human skin, which was extremely uncomfortable!
His body temperature and blood essence seemed to be drained continuously.
So he had an idea and immediately stuffed this thing into the private storage space!
He actually did it successfully.
Fang Linyan checked and found that the introduction of this thing was actually very simple.
Name: Evidence of Honnoji Temple
Nature: Important plot item
Special Effect: {Shroud}, injecting evil power into it to cover up the presence of the subordinates within 100 meters nearby.
Special Effect: [Tenka Fubu], with it as the core, it can perform the art of evil sacrifice to seal the designated area and continuously summon powerful red horo and black horo.
Explanation: This is a powerful evil artifact. I hope you find the right people to handle it.
…
After getting the item, Fang Linyan didn’t want to fight anymore.
He didn’t bother the man in kimono who was chasing behind. He just wanted to regroup with the high priestess first.
After all, the high priestess had been under siege before, and she even assisted him.
If something happened to her, Fang Linyan would lose the most important skill [Athena’s Blessing].
Fortunately, after running a few hundred meters, Fang Linyan looked at the manor and found that the dark clouds above it had subsided, probably because the artifact was taken away by him.
At this time, gunfire and explosions sounded in the manor. Obviously, the two sides were in a heated battle.
In this situation, Fang Linyan still chose to return, but by the time he rushed into the manor, everything had already been settled.
There was a huge corpse lying on the ground. Its height was at least 4 meters!
The corpse had 2 heads, 3 legs, and 4 arms. It looked like a triangular stool when it walked upright.
It was wearing a strangely black armor with amazing defense. There were a lot of skulls hanging around it as ornaments. It was by no means a product of this world at first glance.
Not only that, but the faces on the horned helmet mask of the corpse were constantly changing. These faces were all painfully distorted human faces.
These changing faces were the victims who were devoured after being killed by this guy. Their flesh and soul would be turned into nutrients to grant it powerful killing power.
Although the corpse was already dead at this time, there was still an indescribable murderous intent emanating from the body.
It exuded a large amount of corpse and death aura. The surrounding vegetation withered and formed a dead area of several hundred square meters. Even the bugs frantically fled.
Fang Linyan looked at the monster, but he didn’t find any fatal wounds on its body. He wondered how the high priestess killed it.
At this time, the high priestess was wearing a gorgeous priestly dress, held a golden scepter, and stood next to the giant corpse. She looked spirited with a hint of smile.
Beside her was a golden double-headed python, which was Alessandro, the snake avatar of the Goddess.
Grabbing one foot of the giant corpse in one bite, he dragged it towards a nearby pool.
Fang Linyan saw that it seemed to be dragging with great difficulty, so he went up to help directly. Only after dragging did he realize that the monster’s corpse was surprisingly heavy.
Moreover, wherever the giant corpse was dragged, there would be a horrible burnt mark on the lawn and the ground.
After pushing this giant corpse into the pool next to it, needless to say, all the hundreds of ornamental fish died.
Then, under the instructions of the high priestess, Fang Linyan drove a bulldozer from the side to fill up the pool directly.
After finishing these tasks, Fang Linyan was panting and sweating profusely, but there was nothing he could do about it.
As a man, he really couldn’t let the graceful, elegant, and beautiful high priestess do these rough jobs.
TL: What kind of upgrade would he get this time?
