The spiritual energy spear froze in front of Fang Xin.
In an instant, it transformed into sparkling points of light.
A figure descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of Fang Xin.
Zhai Dong, not far away, was startled when he saw the newcomer.
Clearly, he hadn't expected an unexpected challenger to appear.
Even more, he hadn't expected the opponent to be so strong.
Zhai Dong still held spiritual energy spears in his six arms.
His expression was thoughtful, clearly feeling the suffocating, tidal pressure emanating from this dominant old man.
Just now, the old man had stated that Fang Xin was his grandson.
Then this old man's identity...
Zhai Dong's pupils suddenly constricted.
His position within the Church was not low, and the news of the Church capturing Fang Xin had caused quite a stir, so he was able to glean some information that ordinary people couldn't hear.
Before this, he had also heard some speculations about Fang Xin's family background.
Someone had previously told him that Fang Xin was very likely the grandson of Fang Qingdi, the leader of the Divine Court's Four Great Generals back then.
Looking at the current situation, it seemed undeniable.
He had thought that holding Bai Mao Zai back would solve everything, but he hadn't checked the almanac before leaving, and now someone even stronger had appeared.
Zhai Dong could clearly feel Fang Qingdi's oppressive aura.
He knew he was no match.
As the saying goes, discretion is the better part of valor.
Zhai Dong again flung dozens of spiritual energy spears towards Fang Xin, bent his legs, and his leg muscles suddenly swelled, directly making his pants bulge, seemingly filled with explosive power. Zhai Dong sprang up from his spot, jumping over ten meters, and quickly bounced away into the distance.
Fang Qingdi raised his hand, pointing directly at Zhai Dong.
The spiritual energy spears Zhai Dong had just thrown froze in front of Fang Qingdi.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy spears turned around, making a sharp, piercing sound as they cut through the air. In just one breath, the spiritual energy spears directly pierced through the void, instantly perforating Zhai Dong's body.
Zhai Dong's body was still soaring in mid-air due to inertia, but he seemed to have lost all power, falling diagonally from mid-air and landing with a solid thud on the road.
The spiritual energy spears dissipated, but Zhai Dong's body now had over a dozen blood-gushing holes.
Zhai Dong's companions also started running the moment Zhai Dong fled, but after two steps, they felt a warmth in their chests. Looking down, each person's chest was pierced by an inexplicable force.
Several people stumbled and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
Fang Qingdi looked at the people on the ground with an expressionless face.
"Xiao Xin, you kill these people!"
Fang Xin naturally knew that Fang Qingdi wanted him to kill these people to increase his own strength.
Devouring the strength of these people, as long as he digested it, would be enough to raise Fang Xin's Slaughter Talent combat power to Level Seven, and his Strength Talent would also rise to Level Six combat power.
Fang Xin directly killed the round-headed man in his hand.
Then he killed the other people one by one, and also took their spatial rings.
When he walked up to Zhai Dong, Fang Xin kicked the dying Zhai Dong, "Which branch of the Eternal Night Army are you from?"
Zhai Dong's mouth opened and closed. He turned his head and glared at Fang Qingdi, his eyes still filled with terror.
"They are not from the Eternal Night Army; they are from the Church!" Fang Qingdi walked over and said.
Fang Xin was stunned, "People from the Church? But the Talents they used just now weren't Light-Based Talent!"
"The Church Guard, under the Church's command, was reorganized years ago from various surrendered Reformists factions. These people were selected from the Church Guard."
Zhai Dong lay on the ground, grinning sinisterly, "I'm from the Eternal Night Army! Not some damn Church!"
Fang Qingdi looked at Zhai Dong with icy eyes, "My Talent is Penetration. It's not just physical penetration; it also penetrates the mind."
Upon hearing this, Zhai Dong's already pale face became even paler, visibly panicking. Blood spurted from his mouth like a small fountain, "I'm not from the Church! I'm not!"
Fang Qingdi looked coldly at Zhai Dong, "There are also people from your Church lurking in the shadows, intending to step in and save my grandson after you cripple him, pretending to have saved his life! All to make my grandson owe them a favor."
Zhai Dong's eyes visibly widened, as if he had seen a ghost, staring at Fang Qingdi. His hidden thoughts were seen through clearly by Fang Qingdi.
Fang Xin turned his head to look at Fang Qingdi.
Holy cow!
This 'Penetration Talent' is so awesome?
Any thoughts in one's mind can be seen through.
However, since these bastards are from the Church, that means Chu Tianhong, that old geezer, wanted to attack Fang Xin under the guise of the Eternal Night Army, and then pretend to rescue Fang Xin.
This way, he would eliminate the hidden danger of Fang Xin without leaving any evidence for the Ninth Division to catch, make Fang Xin owe him a favor, and also gain credit with their Pope.
What a perfect plan to kill three birds with one stone.
Several hundred meters away.
Lu Ming, Chu Tianhong's personal guard, led a few people, watching from a distance, ready to make a grand entrance after Zhai Dong crippled Fang Xin.
But unexpectedly, an old man appeared out of nowhere.
They saw Zhai Dong lying on the ground, being interrogated.
A subordinate asked, "Officer, Fang Xin isn't dead. Who is that old man, and what do we do now?"
Lu Ming stared in Fang Xin's direction, then at Zhai Dong lying on the ground, "The plan cannot be leaked! Otherwise, it will be detrimental to our director. Let's go over now and pretend to arrest Zhai Dong, to prevent him from being tortured and spilling the beans! And while we're at it, investigate who that old geezer is!"
"Officer, that old geezer's methods look quite ruthless. He wouldn't just start fighting us, would he?" the subordinate asked again.
Lu Ming sneered, "We are from the Church. He wouldn't dare kill us!"
Several people emerged from the shadows, quickly flashing towards Fang Xin with an imposing aura, each covered in a layer of moonlight, as if wearing a moonlight cloak.
Zhai Dong, lying on the ground, noticed Lu Ming and the others approaching, and slightly exhaled in relief. But fearing that Fang Qingdi would penetrate his thoughts, he forced himself to think about random things.
Fang Qingdi gave a cold glance, "Seeking death!"
Upon hearing this, Zhai Dong's pupils, lying on the ground, constricted sharply, clearly feeling the killing intent emanating from the old man.
Zhai Dong turned his head, wanting to signal to Lu Ming and the others who were rushing over.
Fang Xin directly raised his hand, unreservedly using the Ring of Slaughter to penetrate Zhai Dong's skull.
He casually absorbed the essence from Zhai Dong's body. With the integration of the Level Eleven combat power blood talisman from Zhai Dong, Fang Xin felt his entire body swelling.
Lu Ming, who had rushed over, saw this and couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent, staring at Fang Xin as if he wanted to devour him alive.
He forcefully hid the killing intent in his eyes.
Lu Ming approached.
He checked the body, then looked at Fang Xin.
"What happened?"
Fang Xin did not rush to expose them, "People from the Eternal Night Army!"
Lu Ming's eyes were gloomy, and he signaled for someone to take Zhai Dong's body away.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qingdi stepped on the body, "Did I tell you to move?"
Lu Ming's gaze fell on Fang Qingdi.
"The Church acts without needing to explain to anyone!
Show me your identification!
I need to check!"
"You have chosen the path of death!"
