The moment the ocean of light appeared, a barrage of notifications began to ring in his ears incessantly.
Fu Qian felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer, with countless chaotic pieces of information surging within, nearly smoothing out all the brainâs grooves and ridges.
Even though he had prepared in advance, it took nearly ten notifications before Fu Qian could struggle to move his body and slap Yuan Shanâs head, who was standing beside him gawkily, to one side.
This Night Watchman, the highest in rank from Shangjing, had invisible black barriers continuously emerging around him.
However, they couldnât last even a millisecond against the raging light and fire, instantly melting away like ice and snow.
The skin exposed under the light was even disintegrating rapidly into a rainbow of colors.
This was definitely not some sort of mental shock!
At that instant, it was as if the sun had descended onto the earth itself.
ââνGâ.ϲâ
As his senses began to recover slightly, Fu Qian touched his body and felt the traces of scorched and melted wounds everywhere.
Even his bodyâs vitality was suppressed, and its regeneration rate was greatly reduced.
When his vision returned, Fu Qian glanced to the side and saw Yuan Shan shakily getting up from the ground, with wounds so deep they revealed bone, resembling pits of colored glaze.
Looking at the bystanderâs condition, what about Old Master LoganâŚ
By then, the ocean of light behind him had receded, ultimately settling into silence.
When Fu Qian turned to look back, he saw Arielâs disfigured form and a mass of distorted flesh beside him.
It turned out that Loganâs mask was unable to block the mental onslaught, akin to facing Divine Beings, and he couldnât even maintain his own shape.
At that moment, Loganâs body was covered in golden-red gorges that writhed as if alive, struggling fiercely as his muscles and bones moved in an attempt to stretch back to his original form.
Unfortunately, every attempt failed, only serving to make his shape even more grotesque.
Arielâs body was also dimly lit, with the illusionary spheres signifying his body only barely clustering together in the form of frogspawn, and the golden flame atop his head was nearly extinguished.
âThis⌠impossible, how dare he let such a concept, nearly a True God, directly manifest upon himselfâŚâ
Yuan Shan, having slightly regained her composure, gazed at the scene before her with disbelief, muttering under her breath inadvertently.
âAnd that quickly, it defies all reason!â
Could it be that something really used Ariel as a vessel?
Fu Qian confirmed his own judgment.
However, before he could express his opinion, Yuan Shan seemed to realize something, abruptly struggling forward, nearly falling over in her haste.
âWhat are you doing?â
Fu Qian caught her in time.
âThe âgodâ that descended just now is true âDivine Presenceâ, indiscriminate towards friends or foes, crushing the sanity of anyone facing it directly. But the will of the ones projecting it would be equally shattered.â
Yuan Shan said hurriedly as she continued to struggle.
âNow is the chance to get rid of him.â
Really? Somehow I donât think itâs that simple.
Fu Qian looked toward Ariel in the distance.
âHold on.â
Under Yuan Shanâs puzzled gaze, Fu Qian advanced two steps, then whipped out a black and red whip with his right arm towards Ariel.
The long whip sliced through the air, and the moment it made contact with Arielâs body, countless bubbles on him burst forth with blinding light, and the black and red whip began to disintegrate inch by inch.
The next instant, the spheres moved once more to form a humanoid silhouette, then crumbled away, revealing Arielâs original body underneath.
All his injuries had vanished, and his body emitted a gentle white light, appearing ethereal and holy.
âIt seems I was mistaken, I didnât expect you to recognize me,â
Ariel said, his gaze fixed on Fu Qian.
âI didnât want to, either. I was only planning to be a spectator, but almost ended up blinded by the flash.â
With a look of utter shock on Yuan Shanâs face, Fu Qian spoke languidly.
SpectatorsâŚ
Ariel fell silent for a few seconds, then without saying anything, continued to advance with a smile, step by step.
âIâm very sorry, although this was not in my plans, both of you are likely to stay here today.â
âHow is that possibleâŚâ
Seeing that Arielâs sanity was completely normal, and even the wounds on his body had healed, Yuan Shan let out a standard sigh of despair.
So this guyâs earlier act was just a ruse, all to wait for her to deliver herself into his trap, to capture them all in one fell swoop?
But by no means could she make sense of it, how could he possibly bear the descent of a True God without being affected at all?
And how could Fang Xun have known that Ariel was feigning?
Unfortunately, there was no time to clear up these questions one by one!
Glancing at Logan, who was still struggling, Yuan Shanâs gaze turned resolute.
âYou can go now, the situation is completely out of control, thereâs no need to sacrifice yourself for nothing.â
She turned to look at Fu Qian and spoke quickly.
âFor this worst-case scenario, I made corresponding arrangements before I came, Iâll buy you some time.â
âYou look like youâre going to die.â
Fu Qian glanced at her without much expression.
âI know.â
Yuan Shan looked at the manor, which was mostly scorched earth by now, black bands started to emerge beside her.
âBut thereâs no point in you staying.
âWith both our current conditions, itâs utterly impossible to kill a perfectly fine Divine Envoy, and if thereâs another descent like before, weâll end up just like Logan.â
âSounds like certain death.â
âNo need for âsounds likeâ, itâs a fact. Donât waste any more time!â
âIf thatâs the caseâŚâ
Fu Qian paid her no mind but flipped his wrist and retrieved a snow-white whistle.
Yuan Shan looked on, shocked. Could this person still have an ace up their sleeve?
Under her watchful eyes, Fu Qian brought the Worm Whistle to his lips and lightly blew into it.
Squeak!
After a strange chirping sound, Yuan Shan looked puzzled in Arielâs direction.
No reaction?
However, in the next instant, Yuan Shanâs face suddenly showed horror and she leaped up abruptly, with layers of black shields appearing all around her.
At the same time, a giant insect bristling with sharp teeth burst out from where she had just been standing, biting the shield, which seemed tough but shattered instantly.
Already badly wounded, Yuan Shan immediately spit out a mouthful of blood as her body started to split open with bloodstains.
Thankfully, the shield afforded her a chance to dodge again, saving her from being swallowed whole in one bite.
But failing to secure its target, the giant insect didnât pursue, retracting along its original path and slowly vanishing.
Has that guy gone mad?
Before she even landed, the bewildered Yuan Shan instinctively looked for any trace of Fu Qian, but in the next moment, she felt a stab of pain in her back.
Looking down, she saw a sharp black and red claw piercing through the front of her clothes.
YouâŚ
Yuan Shanâs consciousness slowly faded to black.
Withdrawing his claw, Fu Qian casually tossed the dying Yuan Shan to the ground, his gaze, however, stayed locked on Ariel.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5âŚ
About five seconds later, the shock finally manifested on the otherâs face.
This guy really does have a problem with his state!
Witnessing all this, Fu Qian wiped his face and transformed into the appearance of Lu Ming.
