A crisp headshot sound rang out.
The Panlong Spear in Fang Xin’s hand plunged fiercely into Liu Kaile’s skull.
It emerged directly from the other end of Liu Kaile’s body.
Liu Kaile was directly impaled.
Liu Kaile let out a painful wail from his throat; he was already somewhat restrained and unable to move by Bai Mao Zai, and now his life had reached its end, his eyes revealing unprecedented panic.
He instinctively struggled to grab Fang Xin’s sleeve, then released it weakly, his body seeming to be drained of all strength, as he was strung up by Fang Xin’s Panlong Spear.
Fang Xin’s actions were decisive and ruthless.
He gave Liu Kaile no chance to survive.
The Panlong Spear was slowly pulled out of Liu Kaile’s corpse.
Liu Kaile slumped to the ground like a deflated doll.
Fang Xin swung the Panlong Spear, and all the blood on the shaft was flung to the ground.
This scene unfolded too quickly.
So much so that many people hadn't even reacted before Liu Kaile died just like that.
The Holy Maiden of the Church stared blankly at Fang Xin, clearly not expecting it; she had only held back Bai Mao Zai, but overlooked Fang Xin.
Envoy Lu Bian’s face turned even paler upon seeing this, muttering, “He killed a member of the Church Royal Family! He killed a member of the Church Royal Family!”
Others nearby also witnessed this scene. Liu Kaile, a second-generation rich kid sent here to gain experience, only needed to spend some time here to earn a major achievement. After returning, although he wouldn't necessarily soar, he would at least be given some minor authority, becoming a brick in the massive interest group of the Church Royal Family. Now he had died in Fang Xin’s hands.
It goes without saying, even a hair on one's head could tell that the Royal Family would be furious. Fang Xin didn't kill Liu Kaile; he killed the face of the Church Royal Family.
People from various factions in the city had different expressions.
Chu Xinyao was also among the Church crowd and naturally saw this scene. When she saw Fang Xin kill Liu Kaile, her expression became complicated.
Master Kou outside Yun Cang City saw Fang Xin leap up and kill Liu Kaile from afar.
He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, “Is that kid from the Ninth Division Fang Qingdi’s grandson? Hahaha! No wonder he’s so bold! Well done, hahaha! Brother Dingjia, go tell Fang Qingdi’s grandson that if those bastards from the Church Royal Family target him, the doors of our Kou Family Army will always be open for him!”
Lu Dingjia glanced in Fang Xin’s direction, a satisfied look in his eyes.
He was clearly very pleased with Fang Xin’s action of killing Liu Kaile.
“Old Cripple Kou, your Kou Family Army should just stay outside honestly. That kid’s matters are not for you to worry about!”
Master Kou looked at Fang Xin from afar, a desire to recruit him rising in his expression.
“There are so many interwoven forces and too many restrictive rules on your side. Come to our Eternal Night Army; it's free and unrestrained, which is good for his physical and mental health!”
“You don’t need to worry about that!”
As Fang Xin killed Liu Kaile, the Church members present were either enraged, resentful, malicious, or calm.
After a moment of silence, the Holy Maiden of the Church said to Zhuge Heng, “Zhuge Heng, now that the person is dead, can we unite our front and face the outside world together?”
Bai Mao Zai merely glanced over, snapped his fingers, and the heads of several Church members who had followed Liu Kaile fell to the ground. Then, Zhuge Heng vanished from the spot, reappearing outside the city where he engaged in a fierce battle with Master Kou.
Many in the Church frowned in a knot.
Previously, Lu Dingjia’s fiery temper had already caused heavy casualties for the Church once, and now Bai Mao Zai had killed several more in succession. The once high and mighty Church had been humiliated several times.
The Holy Maiden of the Church coldly glared at Lu Bian, “Collect the body! You should have a clear idea of what to do and what not to do! Consider the bigger picture!”
Lu Bian gritted his teeth, had Liu Kaile’s body collected, and ordered the others to return to their assigned positions.
Fang Xin held his long spear and glanced at his teammates beside him, “Continue!”
This battle lasted for nearly four hours, from start to finish.
Ultimately, neither side could claim victory or defeat; both suffered losses and entered a brief rest period.
Fang Xin returned to the camp, and no sooner had he settled down than his phone vibrated, a message from Kou Tianlin popping up.
“Brother, you’re fierce, you even impaled a member of the Church Royal Family.”
“Second Brother, your stratagem of sowing discord was too ruthless.”
Kou Tianlin spoke to Fang Xin without reservation, “It was all an idea from my Master Kou. Everyone knows the Church’s disposition and that the world has suffered from the Church for a long time. We just seized on that point to make you guys fight among yourselves internally. War, you know, is the art of deception. Why bother with so many details? We only look at the results, not the process!”
At this point, Kou Tianlin continued, “Brother, my Master Kou said that the person you killed was from the Church Royal Family. These people have absolute say in the Church. If they try to move against you, you can come to our Eternal Night Army. The doors of the Kou Family Army will always be open for you!”
Fang Xin didn't rule anything out. He knew the Church’s nature to some extent, and having multiple escape routes was always good.
“Thank you for Master Kou’s kindness; I will consider this matter!”
After a brief chat, Fang Xin put down his phone. So much time had passed, and it was reasonable to assume that the matter of Liu Kaile being killed by Fang Xin had already been reported. He wondered how those bastards would handle it.
While he was thinking, the snail-shell artifact Chu Xinyao had given him in his spatial ring chimed. Fang Xin took it out and put it to his ear.
Chu Xinyao’s voice came through, “Xiao Fang, the matter of you killing Liu Kaile has been reported, but the full story has also been clarified. Moreover, the Church itself is actually fragmented with many factions. Other factions, hearing that someone from the Liu family became a spy for the Eternal Night Army at this time, directly impeached the Liu family to the Pope. My father told me that the Pope was very angry and ordered the Liu family not to pursue this matter further.”
Although she said that, Fang Xin still somewhat knew the nature of these Church people. Just like when he killed Yang Haosi a long time ago, these people held a grudge, only acting when they reached Yun Cang City.
“Understood,” Fang Xin replied with a message.
After this incident, the Church conducted another internal purge within its garrison in Yun Cang City.
The Church did not disclose the specific results, but after the investigation, dozens of people were noticeably missing.
In the following days, the Eternal Night Army launched attacks on Yun Cang City in various ways.
Every day, both sides fought as if clocking in for work, and after a round, they clocked out.
Finally, the final exams were approaching.
The students stationed in the city returned to their respective academies in batches to prepare for the final exams.
Fang Xin’s Strength-based combat power had also reached Level 8 Warrior during these days, and his Slaughter Talent had reached Level 9 Warrior.
He only needed to achieve excellent results in the final exams to successfully become a Battalion Commander in the Ninth Division.
But Fang Xin didn't spend any extra time thinking about the final exam results. Little Hamster had given him twelve million god and demon marrow, so getting first place was like child’s play to Fang Xin.
Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the final exams.
Students from various factions were gathered outside the God and Demon Ruins.
Fang Xin and a few others stood side by side, chatting casually, when the sociable Shi Tailang returned from chatting and gathering information with someone.
“Damn! This time the difficulty is very high! I just heard someone say that some people prepared god and demon marrow before entering the God and Demon Ruins just to get into the top ten! I heard that the most anyone prepared was like three hundred thousand god and demon marrow! How the hell are we supposed to compete with that?!”
