The tall man was filled with supreme confidence.
"Boom."
He unleashed a punch, striking towards the spreading sound waves.
As fellow Half-step Supremes, the high and mighty Divine Hall had never placed him in their eyes.
Screech.
The sound waves were torn apart by the man's punch.
"Nothing more than that."
The tall man sneered, "In the Divine Hall, there are countless Half-step Supremes. If we wished, we could summon endless numbers... Hmm?"
Before he could finish speaking.
"Gah."
The man's face instantly turned ashen, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Not only blood from his mouth, but also from his seven orifices.
His aura instantly withered.
"Hahaha,"
Tinnuk roared with laughter, "Half-step Supreme, tsk tsk, is this your confidence?"
The Goddess of Wisdom swiftly attacked, a gust of wind striking the man from behind.
"Pfft."
A crack appeared on the man's forehead.
A blade made of sound waves flew out from the wound.
"Be careful," the Goddess of Wisdom said with a solemn expression.
"Tsk tsk."
Tinnuk licked his lips, looking at the grim-faced man, then at Athena, and finally at the two who had not yet acted, and smiled.
"It seems you're not that powerful. I was scared by you that day and fled without fighting. Now it seems you're just so-so. Come... the three of you together, I'd really like to see how powerful you are," Tinnuk said.
He couldn't even withstand a single sound wave attack, resulting in a severe injury.
This gave Tinnuk immense confidence.
Thinking back to how he had fled upon seeing them before, Tinnuk felt a slight blush.
Therefore...
"Kill."
With a folding fan in hand, Tinnuk charged into the sky.
His soul power surged out, covering the heavens and earth, sealing all escape routes.
"Attack."
Athena summoned a golden war spear.
Chen Fan's power had exceeded her expectations.
"Hmph."
Just as Athena was about to move, a cold hum echoed.
In an instant, a fierce killing intent locked onto Athena.
The killing intent emanated from the eastern manor, from the silent man who spoke little.
"Don't move, or I will kill you today."
The voice entered Athena's ears, and genuine killing intent surged.
He intended to kill.
Athena felt pressure, a mountain-like pressure.
It was as if a god of slaughter was watching her.
She was actually frozen in place.
This made her feel ashamed and indignant. As the seventh divine lord of the Divine Hall, high and mighty and immensely powerful, she was actually held at bay by someone she didn't even consider a threat.
"Chen Fan."
Enraged and ashamed, the Goddess of Wisdom raised her spear and thrust.
I am a divine lord, destined to suppress all enemies in the world.
Chih.
The spearhead pierced through the heavens and earth, shattering the protective formation of Wenlan City, and lancing towards the eastern manor, towards the man who had never appeared.
Crack crack crack.
Chewing sounds suddenly echoed. A little girl within the manor raised her head.
She continuously stuffed food into her mouth with her left hand, watching the piercing spearhead.
She furrowed her brow.
Bang.
A crimson tail appeared behind her.
The tail whipped out like a dragon's lash.
With a "bang," the spearhead exploded.
"Fighting is bad."
The Fire Demon looked at the Goddess of Wisdom with her cheeks puffed up like buns, "Chen Fan is a good person. You can't bully him. If you bully him, I'll make you pay."
A little girl, putting on a fierce look, not only failed to appear menacing but seemed somewhat adorable.
"Fire Demon,"
The Goddess of Wisdom clearly knew something, and her expression turned grim. "I spared your life in the past, allowing you to live until today. Today, you dare to betray your benefactor, I will kill you."
"Boom."
The war spear, a celestial halberd, swept through the heavens.
The spearhead filled the entire world.
Killing intent, sealing off heaven and earth.
"Roar."
The Fire Demon roared in fury.
A sense of crisis she had never felt before caused the Fire Demon to reveal her true form.
She had never revealed her true form since arriving in Wenlan City.
A nearly hundred-zhang-tall flaming lizard appeared, its body soaring through the air, sweeping across the heavens and earth.
In the world, there was only one flaming lizard.
Rumble!
The space between heaven and earth shattered at this moment.
The spearhead broke against the flaming lizard's body. The Fire Demon's true form was pierced, bleeding profusely, as if a rain of blood had fallen.
Roar.
The intense pain made the Fire Demon writhe.
"I will tear you to pieces."
The Fire Demon's fury ignited, turning the heavens and earth into a molten world.
Lava surged, destroying everything.
Crimson engulfed and submerged the Goddess of Wisdom.
Within the lava, the Goddess of Wisdom's golden armor corroded.
Facing the Fire Demon of the same realm, the Goddess of Wisdom was actually suppressed, unable to resist.
"Aren't you going to act?"
Suddenly, a shrill scream erupted from the sea of lava.
It was the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena.
"Boom."
From all directions, several figures appeared.
Darkness descended upon the world.
"Dark Church?"
Within the manor, Chen Fan opened his eyes.
His eyes shone with the brilliance of countless stars.
The Dark Church had intervened at a critical moment.
Four figures, the top four Dark Bishops of the Dark Church, had made their move.
A sinister wind permeated the air, corroding the lava, corroding the Fire Demon's true form.
"Seeking death."
Zheng!
A sword's hum tore through the heavens and earth.
A magnificent sword light rose from below.
That sword light was like a light that tore apart all things.
Under the sword light, all things melted.
"No..."
The Fourth Dark Bishop was terrified.
His face, shrouded in darkness, was illuminated, revealing a pale countenance.
Chih!
A sword came from the west.
Without any obstruction, the sword light slid down from his forehead.
The world fell silent.
Only two severed halves of a body fell from the sky.
"Old Four..."
The remaining three Dark Bishops cried out in horror.
In one sword strike, a companion had fallen.
The Great Dark Bishop looked up at the falling sword energy from above, vast and seemingly endless.
"Deprive."
Wah.
Only a two-word utterance. As soon as the sound fell, the Great Dark Bishop's aura instantly withered.
This time, he held nothing back.
He only wished to obstruct the City Lord who had never revealed himself.
In the eastern manor, Chen Fan's five senses were completely stripped away.
"Heh."
An unconscious smile touched his lips.
This move again.
"Bang."
A gravity field instantly descended.
Space was compressed to the point of collapse. Under the gravity field, all matter was suppressed, including rules, all rules.
The deprived five senses instantly returned.
In the sky, a hint of despair appeared in the Great Dark Bishop's eyes.
He could feel it, the deprivation of his five senses had been weakened.
Therefore... that person was coming.
"Clang."
A sword's hum came from above.
The Great Dark Bishop looked up and saw a river of stars descending at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Too fast.
The water of the river was sword energy coming with the flow.
So much, so much, so sharp...
Puff puff puff.
Blood bloomed like fireworks in the air.
The Great Dark Bishop looked down in disbelief, watching the sword energy piercing his heart.
His astonished gaze slowly relaxed. He smiled bitterly, "City Lord, your reputation precedes you."
Bang.
His body exploded.
Sword light crisscrossed, tearing his soul apart.
In the blink of an eye, all four intervening Dark Bishops were dead.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye.
