"Why? Why did they have to be like this?" Fang Xin asked in puzzlement.

  It took a couple of seconds for his attendants to understand what he meant: "The evil count was always like that, not to be conquered but destroyed!"

  The evil earl could have conquered if he had been willing to conquer, rather than kill, but the evil earl never took territories and villages, only destroying them. Fang Xin understood this meaning, at which time, Yu Ruyi suddenly shook violently.

  This is the urging of the sacred instrument of merit, Fang Xin's face was uncertain, with dozens of enemies below, and only three on their side. Even if they counted the male villagers who were still resisting, charging down would likely end in uncertainty. However, standing by and watching the massacre unfold without intervening would damage his own principles and nature, and reduce a certain degree of merit.

  "What shall we do, Your Excellency?" asked the attendant, grasping his sword.

  "Tell them... just tell them I've donned the armor of a knight!"

  Two attendants exchanged a glance and hastily helped Fang Xin put on his knight's armor, Fang Xin closed his eyes motionless, expressionless, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

  In any case, practicing virtues should be consistent from start to finish.

  The two attendants dressed him very quickly and in ten minutes he was fully armored.

  Fang Xin rode his horse, pulled down his face mask, and then charged straight down from the hill. The two attendants also galloped down after him.

  "Jade as I wish, following my heart's desire, strengthening all aspects of my power!" Rushing to within a hundred meters, Fang Xin muttered to himself, and suddenly, the Jade Wish shook violently, its virtuous energy transforming into a warm current that surged directly into his body, making the heavy armor feel instantly lighter.

  Draw bow, nock arrow, shoot!

  A dark soldier, not even having time to make an expression, was suddenly pierced by an arrow that directly entered his body. The powerful impact brought him two meters backwards, nailing him alive to the wooden board behind him, and he let out a miserable scream.

  In a hundred-meter dash, in just one shot, Fang Xin's warhorse was extremely fast. Fang Xin discarded his bow and arrow, drew out the knight's long sword, and the techniques and principles of Yue Men Swordsmanship flashed through his mind in an instant. The long sword had already slashed down without hesitation!

  "Whoa!" A dark soldier was splattered with blood, and another dark soldier was directly hit by the horse's charge. When the warhorse crashed into his body at a speed of 30 meters per second, his ribs made a cracking sound, and then he flew out like straw.

  At almost the same time, Fang Xin felt a numbness in his body, followed by a burning pain. Fang Xin glanced sideways and saw the opponent's archer.

  "Charge!" Without even looking at the arrow that had already pierced half an inch into his body, Fang Xincheng urged on his warhorse and charged towards the four archers tens of meters away. Yu Ruyi was crazily stimulating her inner secretion, suppressing all fear while her killing intent and ferocity burst out like never before.

  The other party is also an old hand, immediately bending the bow, shooting arrows, and aiming.

  Fang Xin's eyes locked onto his target, and he urged his horse into a fierce gallop.

  "Whoosh!" Four arrows shot out almost simultaneously, Fang Xin slightly dodged to one side, his long sword blocking them.

  One arrow whizzed past, one clashed with the long sword, and two more arrows shot out at close range. Although they didn't have time to fully draw their bows, and were protected by thick armor, the arrows still pierced through the heavy armor, entering an inch deep.

  A long sword flew out, and at this time Fang Xin's divine power was born. The two archers were almost cut in half in an instant. Fang Xin ignored the long arrow and turned his horse around, the warhorse neighed and turned its head, charging straight ahead.

  Fang Xin swung his sword again and saw the opponent's eyes filled with fear, then his face split in two, brain matter and blood flying into the air.

  The two attendants finally caught up and rushed straight at the archer.

  Fang Xin killed the archer and then rushed straight towards a place that was still resisting.

  In the midst of the warhorse's neighing, an opponent, a giant of a man wielding an iron mallet in one hand, let out a furious roar and suddenly struck down with the iron mallet that was tied to an iron chain!

  Fang Xin didn't hesitate and cut him down with a horizontal sword strike.

  "Boom!" With a loud noise, Fang Xin let out a muffled groan. Although he was wearing knight's gloves, his hand still shook violently, and a thread of fresh blood seeped out from the gap between the gloves. His eyes narrowed, and the horse instead of retreating, took a step forward.

  Blood splattered everywhere, heads flew out.

  Again, with a swift and fierce charge, two dark soldiers were instantly knocked flying, the long sword struck, several dark soldiers who were still resisting were all beheaded on the spot, and several militiamen suddenly felt a slight relief from pressure.

  "Get your militia organized, both of you!" Fang Xin bellowed the order, now consuming his merit every moment to exchange for power, every second was extremely precious.

  After finishing speaking, he completely disregarded these and charged towards the dark soldiers he saw. The dark soldiers were unable to resist, and wherever they went, blood splattered everywhere.

  He rushed out of one place, but Fang Xing's heart suddenly sank.

  A dark knight rode forward on horseback, followed closely by four attendants. All of them were dressed in black armor but without helmets, revealing their young and gloomy faces. They grasped sword hilts in their hands, with eyes that were blood-red.

  A pair of eyes, Fang Xin, although in an abnormal state, still felt a chill in his heart. This kind of eye was cold and ruthless, and he didn't know how many people had been killed to have such a terrifying gaze.

  "Ah, a fine young knight, why don't you come under my lord's banner? You already have the qualifications to become a Dark Knight." The other said with a tone of leisure.

  Just by feeling, I also know that this person is much stronger than the knight last time!

  Fang Xin took a deep breath, and in the brief moment of that breath, he adjusted his entire body's energy. He urged his horse forward, charging straight ahead. His opponent sneered, drawing out his long sword.

  All of a sudden, there was a loud "crack" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and Fang Xin's whole body shook, while his opponent only moved slightly. From this point on, the difference in strength between the two sides can be seen.

  At this moment, the Dark Knight calmly turned his horse and did not pursue, allowing Fang Xin to return on horseback. The previous blow had already made it clear that they were evenly matched in strength, but when they clashed for the second time, his eyes suddenly narrowed sharply!

  "Double merit combustion!" Fang Xin only felt a sudden shock throughout his body, and suddenly his eyes turned black, with golden light actually floating in his pupils.

  Gate of Swords Technique: Piercing Thousand Armies!

  "Clang! Clang! Clang!" Fang Xin struck out with over a dozen swords in an instant, the first three of which his opponent managed to resist, but the latter seven or eight left him breathless, and he was instantly hit multiple times, blood splashing everywhere.

  The two horses parted, and the dark knight was still riding on his horse, only with his left hand stretched out to touch his body, a strange and unbelievable expression appeared, and after taking a few more steps, he fell down with a loud crash.

  "Master!" The four attendants, who were originally at ease and preparing to watch their master's bravery, took a few seconds to react, let out a shrill cry, and then suddenly came to their senses and rushed forward.

  At this time, Fang Xin fell off his horse and landed in front of a burning house. He tried to get up but found himself unable to move.

  "Jade as you wish, jade as you wish?"

  Fang Xin's heart truly sank, and he hastily looked down, his jade pendant dull and without luster.

  "Boom!" A piece of burning wood fell from the top of the house, and the four attendants didn't care at all, letting the flames fall on their bodies as they rushed towards Fang Xin.

  Sneering, he swung his sword, and with a long slash, it came straight down. In that instant, Fang Xin's face revealed an unparalleled despair.

  Am I going to die here?

  "Ding Dong!" Another sound was heard, and a surge of power quickly spread throughout his body. Before Fang Xin could even feel happy, the sword light burst forth, and in an instant, four swords were struck out. The four attendants were shocked, staring incredulously at Fang Xin, who had swiftly jumped out to a distance of three steps away.

  "No...it's impossible..." The words tumbled vaguely from their mouths as the four stood with dull eyes, refusing to fall.

  Fang Xin struggled to walk to a nearby place, pulled out the arrow from his helmet, and fresh blood splattered.

  "Stop consuming!" Fang Xin muttered to himself, and suddenly, an unbearable fatigue surged up his body. He could no longer stand upright and rolled onto the ground. His mind sank into the Jade Like Intent, a step that was usually easy for him to take, but now it was so difficult. One of the attendants had already fallen, and another attendant pulled out a sword from the last dark soldier's corpse.

  Yu Ruyi suddenly shook violently, Yu Ruyi's merits increased greatly, directly rushing to the top, and can return now.

  This must be the merit obtained from protecting the village, but where did that merit come from earlier? The battle hasn't ended yet, it should only appear after the battle ends, Fang Xin thought to himself, his eyes becoming blurry.

  Darkness began to fill his vision, and Fang Xin prepared to activate the Jade Like Intent.

  Just then, a light descended, and a vortex of light appeared in the air, producing an irresistible attraction that pulled him straight up.

  In an instant, a peerless sun appeared, feeling its way in quickly.
