A scream echoed right in front of the north gate of Waskin City, Carlos Artura's scream never stopped once after the six Diamond Ranked Parties were wiped out.
No one dared to help the Guild Master, the adventurers who were on guard on the city wall could just watch the whole thing happen. The monster was not something a human could fight against, even their strongest group was wiped out, so they did not dare to step up for the old Guild Master.
"Please! Stop!" Those were the two words Carlos screamed out at first. As the torture continued, the scream changed to pleading, "Please, kill me!" The old man was begging in tears, but the monster just did not listen to the old man.
Everyone watched how Tang Shaoyang pulled the tongue out. Not only his tongue, but they saw Tang Shaoyang also pull the old man's penis. The worst thing was the monster had a healer to heal the old man.
The healer could regrow the missing part, either it was hand, leg, tongue, and even the penis. It was just twenty minutes of straight torture, but people had lost count of how many times the missing parts had been regrowth by the healer.
As for the old man's assistance, he was weakened on the ground. His voice was barely heard, weak and faint. The old man was Sky-Emerald Rank Adventurer while his assistance was just Platinum Rank Adventurer. He already broke down ten minutes ago, he kept saying "Sorry" over and over.
"Tsk, this is just twenty minutes, what about that poor girl? How long has she been tortured by you?" Artura Carlos did not care what Tang Shaoyang said. As soon as he was healed, he banged his head to the ground, "I am sorry! I am sorry! I am sorry!"
Tang Shaoyang was done toying with those two. He approached them and stomped their knees. Once again, Carlos Artura screamed on top of his lungs. The assistance was no better, Tang Shaoyang crushed his knees too.
"I am not done with you guys, we will play again later," Tang Shaoyang then turned toward the city, "It's time for the real battle!" There was a big crowd on top of the city wall, but everyone avoided his gaze.
"Throw your weapon down, and you will be spared!" Tang Shaoyang once again shouted to the people on the wall. His target was the Church and the Waskin Family, so if it was possible, he did not want to take these innocent people with his enemies. He might be cruel and merciless but to his enemy, not to anyone. He was not a mass murderer and murder was not his hobby. He was trying his best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Tang Shaoyang scanned the people, fear was apparent. It was very clear for him to see, but none of them dared to throw their weapon down, "Our Enemy is the Luminous Church and the Waskin Family, not you the innocents. The beasts are under my command, they will not attack you who drops the weapon!"
"Well, well, well," a voice rang as a figure coming out of a watchtower. The figure had the same armor and cape as Hardy's, indicating he was part of the Templar Knight, "Quite daring for a monster to oppose God, aren't you?"
Everyone looked toward the voice and immediately recognized the figure. The figure was the second Templar Knight, Karl.
With his sharp hearing, Tang Shaoyang identified the figure as the adventurers were talking to themselves. He could get to know that the Templar Knight he killed was the fourth and his name, Hardy. The adventurers were comparing the two Templar Knights and seemed to regain their hope after seeing four more knights followed Karl.
The noises from the adventurers and the city guards became louder when two knights in the reddish-golden armor descended from the sky. People kept talking about these two knights that called Prime, the strongest knight of the Waskin Family's force.
Tang Shaoyang cast [Basic Detection] on seven of them.

He quickly found that one of them was not a Templar Knight but Holy Knight. A higher class than the Templar Knight.
The four beastmen who stayed behind also came forward. Their target was the two Prime next to the Templar Knights.
Selena who helped Tang Shaoyang in his torture was brought back by Wen's subordinate, including Carlos Artura and his assistance.
"Don't ever believe the monster's words, even if you drop your weapon and surrender, you will die!" One of the Prime Knight spoke with his dignified voice, "Haven't you seen what happened to the Diamond Rank Adventurers? She surrendered but he still killed her!"
"Say someone who watched them getting murdered," Tang Shaoyang grinned, "Even the Diamond Rank Parties could not stop me, do you think these seven cowardly knights will protect you? No! They want to use you to tire us out with your number!"
As soon as they heard Tang Shaoyang's words, the adventurers and the city guards wavered. Tang Shaoyang had his point, over fifty people as strong as these seven knights were powerless in front of Tang Shaoyang, would seven knights make the difference?
"Fool! Don't ever trust this vile creature! Think about your family behind this city wall! What will happen to them if they break into the city?" The Prime raised his voice again. He realized that the situation was not in their favor.
"Hahaha, to protect the people behind the city wall? Do these knights even protect the city? Where were they when the beast started to attack the city? Why didn't they come to help you? Why are they only coming out now?" Tang Shaoyang's laughter resounded, causing the adventurers and the city guards to waver even more.
His words were totally on point, where were they when the Beast Stampede? Why did they only come out now? No one knew the answer unless the knight gave them the answer.
"That dude is right. You guys are a fool! Protecting the city is never their primary objective! Their primary objective is me! They want to catch me, alive so they need you guys to tire me out! Do you think these knights care about your and your family's life?" Tang Shaoyang's words reverberated through the air, "Heed my words! If you want to live, you drop your weapon right now! This is your last chance because we will start the final battle!"
After saying that, he took out his weapon. It was not the scythe he usually used, but the battle-ax. Yes, thanks to Jacky and Rumru's scale, his battle was repaired and it was no longer a low-tier battle-ax.

The big grin on his face showed how happy he was that his weapon was back. But he was not over with this, Karan and Zowen never stopped screaming in his head that they wanted to join the battle.
Through his skill [Spirit Avatar], he summoned Karan and Zowen. Even though they could not retain their original power yet, they were quite happy to have a physical body.
Tang Shaoyang raised his battle-ax and pointed toward the north gate. He opened his mouth, was about to shout "Attack!" but the words never came out of his mouth. It was as if the time froze, he noticed that everyone around him also did not move.
Even Karan and Zowen were affected. He furrowed his brows, 'Enemy's skill?'
—No! Those knights are not capable of stopping time like this. It's not them.
Rumru spoke as the connection between Tang Shaoyang and his spirit remained intact.
As Tang Shaoyang was confused with the situation, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The figure had a white plain robe and cloak, covering also the face.
"I am sorry that we have to meet like this. This may be our last chance to speak," a melodious and pleasing voice rang, it was clearly a woman's voice.
"Who are you?" Tang Shaoyang remained cautious as he questioned the figure.
"My name is Lunea, the people called the Goddess of Love," Lunea introduced herself, she did not try to hide her identity from Tang Shaoyang.
Hearing that, Tang Shaoyang was alerted immediately. He thought the Goddess could not make her move directly on him, but it seemed he was wrong with his theory.
"Don't worry, I am not going to hurt you. We, the people with authorities are not allowed to touch the player from another world," Lunea let out a chuckle when she saw Tang Shaoyang's alarmed expression.
"My skill can't last very long, let's get to the point immediately! I am here to talk with you, making a deal," she did not let Tang Shaoyang talk as she voiced her purpose.
Tang Shaoyang laughed as he could not believe what he just heard, "Are you kidding me? The last time we made a deal, you hunted me with your minion!"
"No! This is just between you and me! And I am willing to make a Divine Oath for the deal!" As Lunea talked, she pulled off the cloak that covered her face and revealed the stunning face behind the cloak.
