"Save me! Save me!"
The voice came from the alley.
Fang Xin, holding his Panlong Spear, gradually approached.
He whispered a reminder to his other teammates, "These people all took money from the Eternal Night Army; watch out for their backstabs!"
As Fang Xin led his team closer,
the several fierce beasts all turned their attack direction and charged at Fang Xin and his group.
Fang Xin’s spear struck like a dragon, taking down one beast with each thrust, constantly moving closer to the young man who was calling for help.
The young man waved the weapon in his hand, pretending to vigorously block the beasts' attacks.
A sinister, evil smile of success appeared in his feigned panicked eyes, and he gradually tightened his grip on the short spear in his hand, his peripheral vision fixed on Fang Xin.
He continued to weakly call out, "Save me! Save me!"
Fang Xin quickly walked towards the young man.
The beast biting the young man turned its head and lunged at Fang Xin.
Just as the beast charged, the young man lying on the ground suddenly burst up, the short spear in his hand erupting with golden light, and stabbed it towards Fang Xin's chest.
Fang Xin's smile was cold; the charging beast had just reached him when Fang Xin raised his hand, and the aura of Xiao Se Pi involuntarily released. Under the bloodline suppression, the beast's body stiffened. Fang Xin grabbed the beast's throat and pushed it forward.
The short spear the young man thrust immediately plunged into the beast's flesh, and the beast died instantly.
Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but be stunned.
Shock flashed in his eyes; he clearly hadn't expected the beast to lose its attacking power in front of Fang Xin.
The young man was indeed a decisive and ruthless individual. He pulled out the short spear, no longer bothering to pretend, and thrust the short spear in his hand towards Fang Xin's head, aiming to give him a headshot.
His teammates, who had been feigning death, also leaped up and charged at Fang Xin's squad.
Before coming, Fang Xin had already warned his teammates. Seeing this scene, they were furious. Li Bao'er, wielding two mountain-cleaving sabers, directly cleaved the church member who attacked her.
Shi Tailang and the others immediately formed a battle formation and engaged in a fierce fight with that group.
Fang Xin tilted his head, and a surge of energy enveloped his body, transforming into dragon scales. The Taiyi Ascending Dragon Art, taught to Fang Xin by Hua Cheng, countered the Light-Based Talent Awakened of the church.
The young man's short spear froze a foot away from Fang Xin's body, unable to move.
The dragon on the Panlong Spear in Fang Xin's hand seemed to come alive. Fang Xin's eyes gleamed with ferocity as he fiercely plunged the spear towards the young man's head.
The young man immediately turned pale with fright, genuinely not expecting to run into such a tough opponent.
A burst of golden light erupted from his body. One could see a pendant of an angel hanging around the young man's neck, and a phantom outline of an angel appeared outside his body, blocking Fang Xin's enraged strike.
After one spear thrust, the angel pendant shattered into pieces, and the phantom image outside the young man's body also vanished like a bubble.
The young man was originally a Level 8 Warrior, but for some unknown reason, at this moment, he could only display the strength of a Level 7 Warrior. At close range, challenging a Muscle-bound Brute was like doing street dance in a toilet—a fancy way to seek death.
As the saying goes, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best.
The young man turned and ran. Fang Xin, holding the Panlong Spear, twisted his waist and, with an air of immense power, angrily hurled the Panlong Spear.
The Panlong Spear let out a high-pitched dragon's roar in the void, mixed with the sonic boom produced by friction with the air.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Panlong Spear reached the young man's back. The young man was a member of the church's royal family, so he naturally had life-saving measures.
He flipped his hand and revealed a light shield, protecting his back.
The Panlong Spear solidly struck the light shield. The long spear vibrated, its residual force undiminished, directly shattering the light shield. The young man used this opportunity to twist his body, dodging and weaving, but he was still grazed by the Panlong Spear, which ripped off a large chunk of flesh from his ribs. Blood gushed out, skin was peeled back, and white bones were visible to the naked eye.
His body was also swept by the residual force, crashing through a wall. Dust billowed, and the young man was covered in dirt, looking utterly disheveled.
The young man turned his head, panting, staring at Fang Xin with fear and resentment. "I am from the church's royal family. Do you know the consequences of killing me?"
Fang Xin flashed over and pulled out the long spear stuck in the wall, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. "I don't care if you're royalty or imperial! Today, you're going to die for me!"
The young man clearly realized that Fang Xin was coming for his life.
He turned his head and ran, shouting loudly into the distance as he ran, "Help! There's a mole in the Ninth Division! Their people are trying to kill me! Envoy Lu, save me!"
Envoy Lu, the church's special envoy in the city, shifted his gaze and flashed over, blocking behind the young man. He stared coldly at Fang Xin and roared.
"Harm your comrades! Are you seeking death?"
Previously, Lu Bian had sent Jiang Weiqi to kill Fang Xin, but Jiang Weiqi never returned. Jiang Weiqi's father held considerable prestige within the church and, over the phone, called out every person on Lu Bian's family tree, scolding Lu Bian until he couldn't lift his head. He had been simmering with anger these past few days.
Today, seeing Fang Xin chasing down a church member in the city, he immediately found an excuse. Killing intent surged in his eyes, and he wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Fang Xin.
In the distance, Xing Longshu, with his general's belly, sensed something was wrong and immediately flashed over, blocking in front of Fang Xin.
"Envoy Lu, at such a crucial moment, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Bian pointed at Fang Xin and his group and roared, "What am I doing? During battle, backstabbing comrades! Your Ninth Division people don't understand the rules. Today, I must set the rules for you! Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll deal with you too!"
Xing Longshu wore his eternally unchanging smile and said with a chuckle, "Envoy Lu, is there some misunderstanding? How about this, the problems within the city haven't been resolved yet. Let's wait until everything is settled before making a decision?"
Two beams of golden light burst from Lu Bian's eyes, his face contorted with rage, looking ferocious. "Xing Longshu, get out of my way! Such people are even more deserving of death than the beast tide! I'm telling you one last time! If you don't move aside! I'll kill you too!"
Xing Longshu, as always, had a smile on his face. "Envoy Lu, let's talk this out. If there's a problem, we'll deal with it; let's not create more problems. Let's first clarify the whole story, and then we can make a judgment, how about that?"
"How else can we judge! I only believe what I see with my own eyes! I gave you a chance! If you don't cherish it, then don't blame me!" Lu Bian had already started to act as he spoke.
Xing Longshu blocked in front of Fang Xin, and just as the two sides were about to engage in a big fight, a thunderclap exploded on the spot. Bai Mao Zai flashed back into the city, standing in the void.
After Bai Mao Zai appeared, he directly punched towards Lu Bian. A thunderous strike, it directly tore through the void. Lu Bian was sent flying backward by this punch, enveloped in brilliant lightning, his body crashing through dozens of walls with successive bangs.
Looking down from above, this punch had directly created a fan-shaped area of collapsed ruins.
Bai Mao Zai's expression was uncharacteristically cold, his bright white eyes, filled with endless lightning, stared at Lu Bian.
"Lu Bian, have I been too nice to you?"
