Chapter 710: 678. Old Lunatic
Everyone, including the four people in the safe house, felt a chilling chill of death!
An Ji's mental state seemed very abnormal.
After a low laugh, she twisted her neck like a zombie, glanced around, and her eyes locked straight onto Leng Xiu.
Leng Xiu's soul was terrified! Instantly transformed into ten blood bats and fled in all directions.
But countless fine red threads shot out of the empty space, rapidly binding all ten blood bats, pulling tight with force—blood mist exploded in the air!
The vast blood mist was forced to condense again, forming a vampire shape, and flew backward, crashing into the pillar supporting the Church Court with a loud bang, the stone cracked—
His pale cheeks simultaneously filled with strands of black and purple death colors, vomiting out thick black blood violently.
Wounded heavily in just one round of confrontation!
It might be because Leng Xiu had consumed too much energy breaking the safe house's seal beforehand, but after all, being a Spirit Master of the Fourth Realm, he should've had no problem facing a Holy Realm powerhouse, theoretically speaking, he shouldn't be so powerless.
Unless, An Ji Saint Shepherd was indeed too strong!
The densely packed red threads in the air waved like chaotic knitting yarn, swiftly gathered into an eerie humanoid shape, and continued to kill towards Leng Xiu!
"Buzz—!" The space in front of Leng Xiu vibrated with molten lava's red glow, and Burning City stepped out from it. The advancing red-thread humanoid twisted and melted instantly, absorbed into the vortex of molten water forming on Burning City's face, dissolved and vanished.
A muffled voice filled with suppressed anger came from the vortex, "Saint Shepherd, please calm down."
Although he also wanted to kill Leng Xiu, that useless thing.
But this person still had some uses, and he couldn't just die like this.
"Ho~" On the high steps, an elder in a gray robe hunched, supporting herself with her staff, grinning eerily with her head bowed, "Hohohoho~~ Since there's no Divine Faith Fruit, you children of the Burning Heaven, you'll become nourishment for the revival ritual!"
Saying so, her terrifying power surged again! It seemed to be approaching the level of a Sage!
"!!" Inside the safe house, Xia Feng widened his eyes, shocked by the scene outside.
Although he had guessed An Ji Saint Shepherd would be strong, he didn't expect her to be this strong!
But in a way, that was fine.....
Fight! Let them all fight! Xia Feng hoped in his heart, he chose to steal the Divine Faith Fruit at this moment to provoke a conflict between the Burning Heaven Disciples and An Ji Saint Shepherd.
This way, he and the three women could fish in troubled waters, seizing the chance to escape.
"Saint Shepherd."
Burning City suddenly spoke in a heavy voice, with a casual wave, a fruit wrapped in scarlet gold runes floated out of the giant hand constructed by molten lava, rushing straight to An Ji Saint Shepherd.
It was clearly the Divine Faith Fruit!
Not buddies? How come you still have one?
Xia Feng was stunned, instinctively checking his Nash Space, confirming the Divine Faith Fruit was indeed with him.
Which meant, this fruit belonged to Burning City himself.
"This is my personal stash from seven hundred years ago."
Burning City's voice was low, "Saint Shepherd, can you calm down now?"
An Ji Saint Shepherd's skyrocketing momentum halted, gradually falling, while the strange blood light in her murky eyes faded, reaching out to catch the Divine Faith Fruit.
Burning City glanced coldly at Leng Xiu, his authoritative eyes icy cold: "Blood Ghost, you owe me a life."
The Divine Faith Fruit cultivated by Leng Xiu was initially acquired from a collective action of the Burning Heaven Temple, it was public property, not owned by Leng Xiu. However, he could use the merit of cultivating the Divine Faith Fruit to maturity to exchange for treasures within the Burning Heaven internal system.
As for its loss..... In reality, the loss of the Divine Faith Fruit was a minor issue, but the failure of the Sumeru King Order transaction due to its loss was the major issue!
Leng Xiu understood, if the transaction failed because of him, upon returning to Burning Heaven, His Eminence Heavenly Gift wouldn't let him off easily!
He spat out blood, twisted his neck, got up, and completely restrained his lazy, arrogant demeanor, bowing respectfully to Burning City.
"Hohoho~ So this is the Divine Faith Fruit." In the distant sky, the elder in gray robes held up the mystical fruit under the moonlight, scrutinizing it closely,
Grinning as she tilted her head, the hood slipped back, revealing her gray-white dead hair flailing like rotten branches in the night breeze.
Her grin widened, the insanity in her eyes that had faded flared up again, her thin, ugly hands clenched tightly!
The Divine Faith Fruit crumbled instantly, turning into scarlet gold Spiritual Flow rushing into her mouth and nose.
Wow—!
"What are you doing!" The Angel Envoys' expressions shifted subtly, hurriedly trying to stop her, but it was too late.
The Divine Faith Fruit is generally used in conjunction with the [Divine King Statue] to gain authority from the faith of Gods, but the process is very conspicuous.
Using it now was no different from shining a bright light telling the Moluo Saint Shepherd something abnormal was happening here.
These Burning Heaven Disciples dared to enter Black Moon City, but they had to proceed secretly.
If they were exposed, it would be like offering themselves to the Moluo Sage.
They thought even if An Ji was mad, she wouldn't act recklessly just to escape Black Moon City.
But contrary to expectations..... she went completely mad!
"An Ji, are you courting death!" Burning City suppressed his anger with effort, "Why not wait until we leave the city to use it!"
"Hohoho~~~ what do you know!"
"I can wait! But my sister can't wait!" The decayed sparse hair whipped the woman's crazed, ugly face like withered willows, her subsiding momentum rushed in an uncanny way with speed defying nature! Faint divine light soared to the sky,
"Buzz——!!!"
Inside the Church Court, the pews and the altar for worshiping God crumbled into dust, the gust swept over!
"Mad old hag!" Leng Xiu cursed and ran.
Burning City and Ji Ying also swiftly withdrew from the high building of the Church Court.
However, the three were not genuinely fleeing but quickly stood at three directions outside the Church Court, hands raised for technique, constructing Spiritual Particles to unfold a Sealing Barrier.
Meanwhile, a ray of Holy Light suddenly descended from the sky, forming a Light Person shape, it was Light Disciple.
He formed a light hand seal, also joining the Sealing Barrier's construction.
Fortunately, with Light Disciple's assistance, the barrier formed quickly, stopping the divine light from the Church Court interior from reaching the clouds.
Inside the Church Court.
Xia Feng felt numb, helplessly watching the scene outside.
He was truly impressed, thinking he would witness a mutual devastation between the Saint Shepherd and Angel Envoys.
But unexpectedly, Burning City had a hidden Divine Faith Fruit, and even more unexpectedly, An Ji Saint Shepherd's mental state was more abnormal than anticipated.
What is she planning?
She said she could wait, but her sister Heather couldn't..... But wasn't Heather dead?
Could it be..... Does she have a means to resurrect Heather? Xia Feng's heart raced with speculations.
An Ji Saint Shepherd, enveloped entirely in divine golden light, rolled her murky eyes, paused for half a second, then looked down at the safe house below with disdain!
A bone-chilling deathly chill descended upon the souls of the four!
The old woman in the air, her black-spotted face reflecting in the golden light, appeared sacredly abnormal, yet her calm smile was incredibly eerie:
"Just in time, lacking a sacrifice."
