The two weapons collided, and to Cabernet's astonishment, his weapon shattered. The Sky-Splitting Battle Axe was sliced apart by Xi Nuo's star sword.
Cabernet dodged in time, but his left shoulder still took a hit, and his entire left shoulder was severed.
Cabernet didn't care about his injury; he cared more about the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe, which lay in pieces on the ground.
There are many ancient artifacts in this world, and among the rare ancient artifacts are the Forbidden Ancient Artifacts.
Cabernet's Sky-Splitting Battle Axe ranked seventh among the Ten Great Forbidden Ancient Artifacts.
"What in the world is that weapon of yours?! There's no such weapon among the Ten Great Forbidden Ancient Artifacts!"
"How could my Sky-Splitting Battle Axe, one of the Forbidden Ancient Artifacts, be cut down by your single sword!"
"I made this weapon!" Xi Nuo said.
"How is that possible! How could anyone create an ancient artifact!" Cabernet roared furiously.
"A frog in a well, ignorant of the world."
"To put it plainly, ancient artifacts are also man-made. If others can make them, why can't I?"
"Creating ancient artifacts requires a vast amount of magic power; how could a brat like you do it!" Cabernet exclaimed.
"This must be an ancient artifact I haven't seen before. You're definitely lying to me; there's no way you made this!"
"Is that so?"
Xi Nuo raised his hand, and a mass of magic power gathered the fragments of the shattered Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.
The magic power enveloped the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe, and in a moment, the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe reappeared in Xi Nuo's hand, completely intact.
"How is that possible!!!"
Cabernet's mouth hung open as he stared at Xi Nuo in disbelief.
"I'll use your own weapon to send you on your way!"
Xi Nuo, holding the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe, walked step by step towards Cabernet.
"Quick, someone! Whoever kills this guy will be the next Knight of the Round Table!"
Cabernet shouted.
"Stop shouting, everyone's dead!" Alpha said.
Cabernet looked around at this moment; thousands of Children of Diabolos were all dead, not a single one alive.
In just one minute, thousands of Children of Diabolos were wiped out.
"Who exactly are you people!"
"We are Shadow Garden, an organization that prevents the Diabolos Cult from resurrecting Diabolos the Demon!" Alpha said.
"You!!!"
Cabernet began to retreat step by step, fear in his eyes.
"You know too much!"
A remote control suddenly appeared in Cabernet's hand, and he pressed it without hesitation.
"Beep beep beep!"
"Self-destruct sequence initiated!"
At this moment, an alarm sounded.
Cabernet threw a smoke bomb and turned to enter a secret passage.
The ground began to shake violently, like a magnitude ten earthquake.
Xi Nuo originally wanted to pursue Cabernet, but seeing the state of the Seven Shadows, they couldn't maintain balance on the violently shaking ground.
The base of the Tenth Seat of the Knights of the Round Table was hidden underground. If it collapsed, Xi Nuo wasn't sure if Alpha and the others could escape.
Xi Nuo extended seven Magic Hands, grabbed the seven individuals, and pulled them close to him.
"Stay close to me; I will protect you!"
Xi Nuo clasped his hands together, solidifying the magic power within him, which then transformed into a shield, enveloping everyone.
Alpha had originally wanted to say that they could escape on their own.
But seeing how much Xi Nuo cared for them, she didn't say anything more.
The entire base began to shake violently, then started to collapse.
Countless rubble rained down from above, and the tremors lasted for ten minutes.
When the shaking ended, the base had already become a ruin.
"Damn it, those guys must all be dead! Where did my three damned disciples go? Those three bastards didn't even come to help me!"
Cabernet opened a secret door, inside which all his funds and a large amount of data were stored.
After Cabernet opened the door, he saw three corpses—his three apprentices. Each of them possessed extraordinary strength; if the three of them had attacked together, even he wouldn't have been able to defeat them quickly.
But the three of them had already become corpses, and Xi De was busy collecting treasures.
"You, put down my money!" Cabernet shouted.
"Your money?"
"But those three people just said it was their money and tried to kill me. I killed them in return, so now that they're dead, isn't this my money?"
"You bastard, do you know who I am?"
"I am Cabernet, the Tenth Seat of the Diabolos Cult, codenamed Crimson Sand!"
"Diabolos Cult? There really is a bandit group with that name!"
"You actually call the Diabolos Cult a bandit group!" Cabernet roared.
"Didn't you steal all this money?"
"So what if I did!"
"Then it's a bandit group!"
"You bastard! No, hahahahahaha, I understand!"
"You killed those three, and now your magic power is almost depleted, so you're trying to stall for time with words to prepare your magic power to escape, right!"
"I won't give you that chance. Die!"
Cabernet gathered magic power in his fist and threw a punch at Xi De.
Xi De raised a single hand and grasped his opponent's hand.
"Tenth Seat of the Knights of the Round Table? Your punch looks like you haven't eaten!"
"You bastard!"
Violent magic power fluctuations erupted around Cabernet, but Xi De ignored the raging magic power and punched Cabernet in the face.
Xi De began to toy with Cabernet; he could have instantly killed him but chose to play with him.
Cabernet exchanged blows with Xi De a few times and felt humiliated. He was Cabernet the Crimson Sand, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table of the Diabolos Cult, the strongest organization in the world.
To be so toyed with, when none of the other Twelve Knights of the Round Table had ever disrespected him.
"If I still had my Sky-Splitting Battle Axe, I would definitely tear you to shreds!"
"You want it? Then here you go!" Xi Nuo's voice rang out.
The Sky-Splitting Battle Axe flew towards Cabernet at an extremely high speed.
Cabernet saw the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe flying towards him at high speed and, with extreme precision, dodged its attack.
In that instant, even a slight hesitation would have resulted in him being decapitated by the flying Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.
Cabernet picked up the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe embedded in the wall and turned to slash at Xi De.
However, Xi De dodged the attack with extreme speed, moved directly close to Cabernet's body, grabbed his arm, and twisted it forcefully.
"Ah!!! My arm!"
Cabernet felt intense pain and released the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.
Xi Nuo picked up the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.
"This thing is an ancient artifact, isn't it!"
"I heard it's some very powerful ancient artifact, like one of the Ten Great Forbidden Ancient Artifacts. I just chopped it up, and it regenerated!" Xi Nuo said.
"Sounds pretty impressive. The Eminence in Shadow needs a collectible like this. Give this thing to me, and the treasures here are yours!"
"Okay! No problem."
At this moment, Alpha caught up with Xi Nuo.
She saw Xi De.
"Lord Shadow is truly elusive; he actually cornered the Tenth Seat of the Knights of the Round Table, who was trying to escape!"
Xi De, of course, had no such intention; he had merely been killing small fry and then got lost to this place, where he then killed three guys who seemed like minor bosses.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I have more important matters to attend to!" Xi De turned and vanished from the spot.
The Sky-Splitting Battle Axe also disappeared with him.
