Chapter Ninety-Five: Awakening

  In the midst of angry roars, the middle-aged knight rushed out from within the courtyard gates, having abandoned his warhorse. Alone and with only one sword, he charged towards Han Jin. Han Jin swung his hand and shot out a Thunderbolt Seal, then swiftly moved his body to retreat backwards.

  The lightning magic released by the magician was mostly distorted, while Han Jin's thunder symbol was a straight line of electricity that fell from the sky and hit the middle-aged knight directly.

  With a loud crash, the middle-aged knight's body suddenly stiffened. Han Jin's heart skipped a beat as his figure suddenly floated forward again. His original intention was to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack and take out the other knights first, but he didn't expect the paralyzing effect of the lightning magic to also be present in the Lei symbol, so his plan naturally had to change.

  Han Jin was only seven or eight meters away from the middle-aged knight, and in an instant, his figure had approached, his left hand stretched out, and he slapped the middle-aged knight.

  At this moment, the middle-aged knight's mouth suddenly revealed a sneer, and his sword flashed, stabbing straight at Han Jin's heart.

  Han Jin was shocked and suddenly realized he had fallen into a trap. His right hand flipped over, and a wooden puppet appeared out of thin air between them. Han Jin's left hand followed suit, slapping the back of the puppet, using it as leverage to rapidly retreat backwards.

  The middle-aged knight let out a low shout, and his sword shone brightly. The wooden man had just met the sword light when he was struck and flew out.

  Han Jin was retreating at the fastest speed, but the middle-aged knight pursued him relentlessly. The sword light flickered only a few meters in front of Han Jin's body, and the bone-piercing chill surged towards him wave after wave, causing Han Jin's eyebrows and hair to be covered with a layer of snow-white frost, and his speed became more and more sluggish.

  However, Han Jin did not want to escape at this time. Because he decided that from now on, he must eradicate the problem once and for all, so as to prevent similar things from happening in the future. That's why he just used his full strength to kill three knights earlier, and this middle-aged man in front of him must die too!

  Han Jin waved his hand and struck out another talisman, five ghostly spirits appeared out of thin air, no need for them to launch an attack. The middle-aged man's charging speed was too fast, he directly crashed into them.

  Five ghosts screamed and surrounded the middle-aged knight, Han Jin swung his hand again to cast a fire talisman, directly attacking the middle-aged knight's lower abdomen, then paused. He leaped up and pounced forward, his fist pointing towards the middle-aged knight's chest.

  "Roll!!" The middle-aged knight let out a loud roar, and his protective aura began to vibrate at an extremely fast speed.

  The five ghosts were all knocked out. The middle-aged knight's long sword suddenly rose, shattered the fire talisman that Han Jin had thrown out, and rushed past from the flames, swinging his sword down towards Han Jin's chest. Dazzling sword light burst forth with a loud crash.

  Han Jin didn't know how to describe the sword light, and with his eyesight after releasing the Divine Fist Technique, he still had to squint. Now he was in a desperate situation, unable to retreat or avoid it, so he could only release a Wooden Puppet Seal to block in front of himself.

  A loud crash was heard, and the wooden man instantly turned into countless fragments flying in all directions. The remaining sword light pierced through the fragments, striking Han Jin's chest, tearing his long gown open. Blood splattered everywhere, and a deep wound appeared on Han Jin's chest, half a foot long, almost penetrating to his internal organs. His body was like it had been struck by a fierce bull, flying backward uncontrollably until he crashed into a courtyard wall. Han Jin could no longer hold back, opening his mouth to spit out a stream of blood.

  The middle-aged knight had already forgotten to capture Han Jin alive, and his figure suddenly rose up, another sword light sweeping towards Han Jin.

  The severe injury made Han Jin sober, and there was always a gap between reality and ideals. Before, he had been relying on luck to kill a 7th or 8th rank professional in close combat, but with his current abilities, it was far from enough.

  Han Jin looked at the middle-aged knight with a cold gaze, and his body suddenly sank downwards, disappearing into the earth.

  The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, then went crazy, rushed up and swung his long sword wildly on the ground, shouting non-stop in his mouth. He thought that Han Jin was able to escape calmly last time because he was careless and gave Han Jin an opportunity to cast a silent spell, so this time he tried his best to entangle Han Jin and attack him, but unexpectedly, the other party could still escape.

  At the time when the middle-aged knight went mad, Xanier, Sasou and others had already hidden in a very ordinary civilian house. This house was bought by Michel during the day, as Raje said, more than ten gold coins were not a big deal, if something unexpected really happened, this house would become their shelter to save their lives. Now, the fact has proved that Raje was right.

  The sound of horseshoes came, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the gate, Mo Xinkai got out of the carriage, and Michelle also jumped down from the driver's seat and walked into the gate one after another.

  After a moment, the horse pulling the carriage seemed to have been frightened and suddenly let out a loud whinny, dashing forward. The courtyard gate opened silently by itself, then closed again, and Lei Zhe's figure gradually appeared inside the gate. He waited carefully for another moment before walking towards the inner room.

  "What about Raphael?" Xanthe asked.

  "He's blocking those knights." Moshenko plopped down in his chair.

  "Are you going to let him stop those knights by himself?" Sasou shouted.

  "What can I do?" Mo Xinko was already unhappy in his heart, he suddenly stood up: "He must let me go, is it possible that under such circumstances, I still argue with him about who goes and who stays?"

  "Keep your voice down!" Xanthe whispered: "Do you want to attract attention?"

  "Need...or not...I'll go take a look?" Lei Zhe said slowly.

  Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground in the middle of the room, startling Xian Ni'er and others. Mo Xin Ke subconsciously drew his giant sword, while Lei Zhe simultaneously activated his stealth ability. The next moment, they saw clearly that the person was Han Jin.

  Han Jin's body shook slightly. His injuries were not light, but who could he blame? He had been too eager to kill the other party and had underestimated them.

  "Raphael, you... have lost so much blood!" Xanthe exclaimed softly as she supported Jin's advance.

  "No big deal, have you forgotten who I am?" Han Jin smiled. He quickly manipulated the spell, and then slapped the symbol on his wound. Soon, the gushing blood was stopped by an inexplicable force.

  "How did it end up like this?" Sasou, Reze, Mosenko and others all gathered around, looking at Han Jin with concerned eyes. If you say that Han Jin is their leader, it's a bit of an exaggeration, because the members of the team are temporarily equal. But Han Jin is absolutely their spiritual pillar, as long as Han Jin is there, they have hope, and one day, they can stand on the top of the high golden pyramid.

  "That guy is tough to deal with." Han Jin sighed: "His fighting skills are strange, it's like he can freeze everything around him in ice. My body was greatly affected. I didn't even dare breathe, one breath and my throat felt like it was being pricked by needles."

  "Don't say so much, sit down first." Xian Ni'er turned around and pulled over a chair, helping Han Jin to sit down.

  Mo Xinke was shocked and said, "What's so strange about that? That's Bing Feng Dou Technique, along with Xing He Dou Technique, Lei Bao Dou Technique, Long Yan Dou Technique, and Da Di Dou Technique, which are the five major inheritances of Dou Techniques."

  "Ah..." Han Jin silently lamented in his heart, how did he say the wrong thing again!

  "Are you really okay?" Lei Zhe asked in a low voice. In fact, Lei Zhe was not someone who liked to say unnecessary words, but he was worried and needed confirmation.

  "It's really nothing, don't worry." Han Jin hesitated for a moment: "It seems... the current situation is not optimistic, Xilena, take them outside, we have something to discuss."

  "Good." Xilena nodded and then took Michelle and others out.

  "Originally wanted to keep it until the crucial moment..." Han Jin smiled wryly: "Mo Xinkuo. Come over here for a moment."

  Mo Xinkai walked over in big strides: "What's wrong?"

  Han Jin took out a talisman and placed it heavily on Mo Xinkuo's chest. Then, he stretched out his right hand and began to draw continuously on Mo Xinkuo's chest. Han Jin usually released the talismans quickly, but this time, it took him over ten minutes, perhaps because of the excessive blood loss, his face turned paler and paler. Xian Ni'er and others tried to interrupt Han Jin several times, but they were worried that stopping the spell would have adverse effects on Han Jin, so they could only watch from the side.

  After a long time, Han Jin finally let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Go!"

  That talisman emitted a few rays of white light and then disappeared into Mo Xingke's chest.

  "What's your feeling now, Mo Xinke?" Han Jin asked.

  "It's really strange......" Mo Xinkai scratched his head: "It seems like... it seems like there are two of me."

  "That's right, I was worried it wouldn't work." Han Jin smiled.

  "Raphael, what does this magic do?" Xanthe felt very curious.

  "I gave him another life."

  "What? What does it mean?" Mo Xinke asked in confusion.

  "In other words, when you are subjected to a fatal attack, this magic will die in your place."

  "What about me?"

  "Nonsense." Han Jin rolled his eyes: "You're still alive, of course."

  Xian Ni Er, Sa Si Ou and others all took a cold breath, the room suddenly became eerily quiet, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. People walking on the edge of danger knew too well the significance of this magic, and since Han Jin was able to release one spell, he would naturally be able to release another. Wouldn't that mean that those under Han Jin's protection would have an invincible body?!

  The priestly line's forbidden curse, the Great Sacrifice Technique, can also produce a similar effect, but that is at the cost of harming oneself to save others, and cannot be compared to Han Jin's magic.

  "Raphael, can you guarantee this magical effect?" Xanier said in a trembling voice.

  "I was once killed by a female thief, but I'm still alive now." Han Jin said calmly.

  "Mo Xinkē, don't move!" Xian Ni'er said suddenly after a moment of silence, drawing back her longbow with an arrow already aimed at Mo Xinkē.

  "Hey! What are you doing?" Mosike jumped up.

  "Xian Ni Er, what's gotten into you?!" Han Jin cried out in exasperation: "Do you think this kind of magic can be released so easily?"

  "Ah, yes, yes!" Mo Xinke nodded vigorously, though he was also very curious about this magic, but absolutely did not want to use death as an experiment.

  "Why didn't you use this magic when you were injured?" Lei Zhe suddenly asked.
