Chapter 62: Hooked Jade Claw

  Bai Cangdong slowly turned around, saw the man's appearance, and almost exclaimed. The man was actually the Four-sided Knight, but at this time the Four-sided Knight did not ride his golden lion beast, nor did he wear heavy armor, just a very ordinary hemp cloth garment. If Bai Cangdong's memory wasn't good, it would be really hard to recognize him at a glance.

  "I don't know when you arrived, but those people attacked me first and I fought back. What's wrong with that?" Another person might have turned around and left, not bothering to respond, but the Four Cardinal Knights were truly contracted knights of the Wind Flower Earl, with unmatched strength. It was not someone White Eastern could match, and he didn't want to be his enemy if it wasn't necessary.

  "You shouldn't have killed them all. With your strength, you could have easily driven them away, but instead you chose to kill mercilessly. Your murderous intent is too strong." The Four Knights' voice was devoid of any emotion.

  "Since you've all seen it, you should know that the mistake isn't mine. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Bai Cangdong didn't want to entangle with the Four Cardinal Knights any further.

  He also felt a little strange in his heart, he was not a bloodthirsty person, and he didn't know why the urge to kill had been growing stronger recently, as if he would have an impulse to kill at any moment.

  "Hold on, your killing intent is too heavy, it's not suitable for you to continue walking in the depths. Follow me and I'll think of a way to help you dispel your killing thoughts." The Four-sided Knight said.

  "It seems like you're handling too many things." Bai Cangdong ignored the Knights of the Four Directions and left on his own.

  The four-sided knight suddenly appeared in front of Bai Cangdong, blocking his way.

  "Must you make things difficult for me?" Bai Cangdong said with a serious expression, looking at the Four Knights.

  "It's not about being your enemy, but rather helping you wash away the murderous intentions in your heart." The Four-sided Knight said indifferently.

  "Don't say I don't have any murderous intentions, even if I do, it's my own business, no need for you to interfere." Bai Cang turned around and left, evading the Knights of the Four Directions.

  The four-sided knight appeared in front of him again: "Before washing away your murderous intentions, you must follow me."

  "What if I say no?" Bai Cangdong's murderous intention was already stirring.

  The four-square knight didn't say a word, but still blocked his way, the meaning was very clear, unless he could get past him, otherwise he had to follow.

  Wow!

  Bai Cang Dong drew his sword without hesitation and struck directly at the Knight of Four Directions. A white, divine light transformed into a magnificent slash that descended upon the knight's head.

  The four-sided knight did not flash or chop, with golden light on his palms, suddenly sandwiching Bai Cangdong's long knife.

  Bai Cang Dong jerked back, but his long knife was as if stuck in steel, unable to move. He had no choice but to abandon his knife and dash towards the iron chain bridge with a swift movement of his body.

  But the Four Knights' speed was indeed extremely fast, and before Bai Cangdong could rush to the iron chain, the Four Knights had already appeared in front of him again.

  Bai Cangdong didn't dare to use his most skilled martial arts, and could only use the "Hui Feng Zhang" he had seen before, as well as the "Luo Lei San Shi Liu Dao" and the "Jing Dian San Shi Jian" to dance with the Knights of the Four Directions.

  But no matter what kind of martial arts Bai Cangdong used, the Knights of the Four Directions would simply slap out a palm and dissolve all his fierce attacks into nothingness, forcing him to retreat or defend.

  Bai Cangdong was shocked by the war, don't say he couldn't use his most skilled martial skills, even if he really used them, I'm afraid it's not the opponent of the Four Directions Knights. The strength of the Four Directions Knights is almost as deep and unpredictable as the sea, at least Bai Cangdong can't see through his depth.

  "What exactly do you want to do?" Bai Cangdong couldn't beat him, and he couldn't run away either. He stopped fighting and stared at the Knight of the Four Directions, asking.

  "I just want you by my side. Once you've washed away your murderous intentions, you can leave as you please." The Four Knights' leader said with conviction.

  "You......" Bai Cang was choked with emotion and couldn't speak, after a long while he sighed and said: "Where do you want me to go with you?"

  "I should have taken you back to Fenghuacheng and found a way to dispel your murderous intentions, but I have pressing matters at hand now. You can follow me for the time being."

  Thus, Bai Cangdong had no choice but to follow the Four-sided Knight. Fortunately, the Four-sided Knight was also heading down into the Abyss, and their paths coincided, which somewhat comforted Bai Cangdong.

  The Four Square Knights killed many undead along the way, and many viscount-level undead were unable to withstand his palm. Bai Cang watched with a stunned expression.

  The Four Square Knights' innate divine light had grown to an extreme, and if they were to engage in a fierce battle with their innate divine light, Bai Cangdong felt that he would be no match for him even with his own palm.

  "You keep saying I have murderous intentions, but you yourself can't even kill a single member of the Four Directions Clan without slaughtering them like dogs. Your killing aura is many times stronger than mine, what qualifications do you have to say that you want to wash away my murderous intentions?" Bai Cangdong said coldly as he looked at the Four Directions Knights and directly cleaved one of the Jade Dog Beasts in half.

  "You're wrong. If I had a killing aura, would those undead dare to approach me?" The four-sided knight's face was calm and peaceful, like an ancient well without a single ripple.

  "It's as if you're telling the truth." Bai Cangdong sneered at Si Fang Qi Shi's words, he acknowledged that Si Fang Qi Shi's strength was indeed formidable, but to say that he could make the undead dare not approach just by releasing his killing aura, he would never believe it.

  It's strange to say that after this, the two of them walked in the abyss for nearly an hour, but they didn't even meet a single undead creature, which made Bai Cangdong feel surprised and uncertain.

  "We'll rest for a moment here." The knight sat down on a rocky outcropping, closing his eyes to rest.

  Bai Cang Dong thought the Knights of the Four Directions were also heading to Qing Shi Ping, but unexpectedly they stopped at a completely unrelated place, as if they had already reached their destination.

  Bai Cangdong looked around the stone peak, but didn't find anything special. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he had no way to do anything about it, so he could only patiently sit down in a place.

  A chill wind blew out from the depths below, for having entered the depths of several thousand meters, the seasonal wind grew stronger and stronger. The armor on Bai Cang's body was no longer able to completely withstand the cold, and the bone-piercing chill made him shiver involuntarily.

  After waiting for nearly half a day, Bai Cangdong felt his body getting colder and colder, but the four knights on the other side showed no signs of leaving, still resting with their eyes closed.

  "It's been a long time, Four." A figure landed on top of the stone peak and walked directly towards the Knight of Four.

  "Peacock, you're late." The Four Knights said calmly.

  "We ran into some trouble on the way and almost lost our lives, but fortunately we made it just in time," said the man known as Peacock with a smile.

  The four-sided knight frowned slightly: "There are only a few people nearby who can take your life, don't tell me you met the lord of Dalun City."

  "The lord of Dalun City would not make things difficult for a small person like me. I was passing by San Shi Tian when I encountered the Flying Heaven Roar, and almost got shaken down from San Shi Peak by that guy's roar," said Kong Que.

  "Alas, if it were in the past, Lord City Master would have eliminated that Flying Sky Roar long ago. However, with his remaining lifespan being limited and many things to arrange, he doesn't have the energy to deal with it now." The Four-sided Knights heard the name of the Flying Sky Roar and believed Peacock's words, saying so with some emotion.

  "Who is this little guy? Don't tell me he's your son?" Kōng Qiáo was sizing up Bái Chéng Dōng with great interest.

  "A young fellow who had just been promoted to viscount not long ago, yet his killing intent was extremely heavy. I was in a hurry to get here, so I could only bring him along with me. After returning to Fenghuacheng, I'll think of a way to dispel the killing intent on him."

  The peacock's eyes lit up again, and he re-examined Bai Cangdong: "Is the killing intent very heavy? Is it because you were cursed by the Undying Clan, or did you cultivate a special martial skill or longevity technique?"

  "It's still unknown now." The Four Knights shook their heads and said.

  The peacock has been sizing up Bai Cangdong, and Bai Cangdong has also been sizing up the peacock. Although it's hard to tell what level of person the peacock is, someone who can chat and laugh with the Four Corner Knights will definitely not be a weakling.

  "Has Hook brought the Jade Claw?" the Four Knights asked.

  "Aren't you reassured by my handling of things? We've hunted the Tyrant Turtle together more than once or twice, when have I ever made a mistake?" Peacock summoned two three-fingered jade claws connected by a jade chain, looking quite unusual. Then he disarmed one of them and tossed it to the Four-sided Knight.

  "I hope we can get the Jade Tortoise Shell this time, our time is running out." The Four-sided Knight took over the Jade Claw and armed himself directly.

  "Damn it, we've killed that tortoise over 120 times in more than 20 years, but not a single piece of its shell has been obtained. If it weren't for the fact that the thing must be made from the tortoise's shell, I would have given up long ago." Peacock said somewhat irritably.

  "I have a feeling that this time we will definitely get the Jade Tortoise Shell." The Four-sided Knight said with a very good attitude, smiling.

  "You've finally arrived, your premonitions have never been accurate." The peacock gave the Four-Directional Knights a glance, and unexpectedly walked up to Bai Cang's face, suddenly reaching out with one hand towards his head.

  Bai Cang Dong had long been prepared. The moment the peacock made its move, he flew backward and countered with a gust of wind palm.

  The peacock did not pursue, standing still, allowing Bai Cangdong's life-essence divine light to slap on his body. Only to see the blue light on his body flash once, and Bai Cangdong's life-essence divine light suddenly collapsed, unable to hurt him in the slightest.

  "Not bad, you can help out a bit after Ba Yu Gui comes out later. Take this." Kong Que disarmed the other hook jade claw and threw it to Bai Cang Dong.

  He caught the hook-shaped claw, and a faint white light flashed in the east. This strange thing turned out to be a viscount-level golden armor.

  Since everyone is here, Bai Cangdong didn't think of protesting anymore and directly equipped the Jade Claw armor. In any case, this was a viscount-level golden armor, might as well grab it first and talk later.

  "It's about time, and the Tyrant Turtles should be revived too."

  The peacock's voice had just fallen when the stone peak suddenly shook violently, and the entire mountain was trembling.
