This palm strike landed directly on the White-Robed Bishop's forehead.
With a 'bang,' the White-Robed Bishop's body exploded.
Simultaneously annihilated was Grie's mental power.
Outside.
"Ah..."
Grie screamed.
The tearing pain in his mind plunged him into madness.
His soul was being ripped apart, it hurt so much.
The two women who had been by his side all along saw this, their faces drastically changed, and they quickly restrained the Second Commander, who was on the verge of exploding.
After a long while, Grie finally recovered slightly.
However, his aura was unstable, calm one moment and violent the next.
Grie looked up, his blood-red eyes fixed on the high platform of the Angelic Holy Assembly, and after a moment, he lowered his head.
Though he hated them, there was nothing he could do.
In the secret realm gamble, only one person could emerge, and everyone else had to die.
However, the Demonic Beast Legion was the first to be eliminated among the six forces, which embarrassed him.
The mental power he possessed was not much, and the Demonic Beast Legion had many treasures, so he could recover to his original state.
It was just that losing face for the Demonic Beast Legion made him very angry.
...
The scene shifted back to the secret realm.
After striking down Grie's mental power with a palm, Elder Kongyi Ling and the powerhouses of the Church of Light converged, facing Molofei.
"He's here."
Heavenly Skull's tone was grave.
The power that slowed down the flow of time was still present. At this moment, Molofei moved as slowly as a turtle.
"Hoo."
Heavenly Skull took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'll tear open the flow of time. You take the person and leave."
Chen Fan responded, "Okay."
"You must escape."
Heavenly Skull's tone grew more serious, "Tearing open the flow of time will consume a lot of my energy. I hope you don't disappoint me, otherwise, I will find you once we get out."
This was a threat.
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan was unfazed by the threat.
If he were to act, tearing open the flow of time would be very simple.
The sword qi of the Tian Congyun Sword could achieve it, but that would expose him.
Since Heavenly Skull was willing to step in, he wouldn't stop him.
It seemed Heavenly Skull regarded him as a powerhouse from an ordinary force.
Indeed, it was rare for the six forces to encounter each other.
"Open."
Since he had decided to act, Heavenly Skull no longer hesitated.
In the heavens and earth, an enormous skull suddenly appeared.
The skull appeared rather abruptly and instantly exploded.
The skull's explosion tore open a rift in the flow of time.
"Go."
Chen Fan acted decisively, taking Molofei and rushing out.
At the critical moment, he took control of Molofei's body.
"Heavenly Skull."
The powerhouse of the Church of Light recognized the powerful entity possessing Molofei. "You dare ruin my good deed, I will kill you."
The powerhouse of the Church of Light was driven mad and gave chase without hesitation.
Elder Kongyi Ling did not move, his expression slightly somber.
"How is this possible?"
He wasn't surprised that Heavenly Skull had torn open the flow of time; Heavenly Skull had that kind of power.
However, to be able to bring someone away at such speed after tearing open the flow of time was somewhat strange.
"Did Heavenly Skull enter with half of his mental power?"
As soon as this thought arose, he dismissed it.
Impossible. No one would take such a risk.
At most, one-third. He could recover from the loss.
But losing half would be fatal, like the Fourth Commander of the Demonic Beast Legion in the past.
"Or perhaps..."
Elder Kongyi pondered, "Someone else acted."
This was a possibility.
Finally, he looked in the direction the powerhouse of the Church of Light was chasing and did not remind him.
If he could kill Heavenly Skull, that would be good.
If he were killed instead, the outcome would be no different.
Elder Kongyi turned and left. The other black-robed figures watching from afar cursed and dispersed.
And in the shadows, some people followed.
Perhaps they could pick up some benefits.
...
"Can you stop him?"
Heavenly Skull was the one who spoke, asking Chen Fan, "Don't hold back now. You'll be exposed sooner or later anyway."
"Fine."
Chen Fan agreed. "Tell me, would it be okay if I killed him?"
"Uh..."
Heavenly Skull was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned grave. "Who exactly are you?"
With such confidence, only two forces remained.
The Dark Church and Wenlan City.
If it were the Dark Church, and they were allies, why the need to hide?
"Are you Chen Fan, or that old devil?" This time, Heavenly Skull's tone was truly grave.
"Clang."
Chen Fan did not answer.
A sword light chilled the nineteen provinces.
The sword light illuminated the heavens and earth as it slashed out.
This sword strike was so brilliant that it was impossible to look at directly.
"Chen Fan..."
The powerhouse of the Church of Light only managed to let out a mournful roar.
The sword light fell, splitting the White-Robed Bishop in two.
The wind and clouds dispersed.
One sword strike settled the matter.
"Chen Fan."
Heavenly Skull's tone was even more grave than before. "I didn't expect it to be you."
"Yes, I also didn't expect to encounter you."
Two of the six forces, two powerful individuals joining forces.
"If we join forces, can we sweep through this place?" Chen Fan asked.
"..."
Heavenly Skull pondered for a moment, then replied, "Perhaps we can. This is also good. The two of us possessing the same person, we can fight for victory after we get out. Regardless of the outcome, at least our mental power won't be lost."
As long as Molofei could achieve the final victory, they would not lose out.
Although they might lose treasures, as long as their mental power was intact, it was acceptable.
"Then it's settled. Pleasant cooperation."
"Pleasant cooperation."
The two reached an agreement.
As for the Demonic Beast Legion, whom Chen Fan had previously discussed cooperation with, apologies, they were already out.
...
