The flames dissipated.
The silent stadium reappeared, and all that was left was a pile of black ashes at Fangzheng's feet.
"Ugh … Ah …"
If one were to take a closer look, one would be able to see sparks flickering within the charred ashes. Along with these sparks, one could hear Sorin's anguished wails.
This was the punishment Fangzheng gave her.
Generally speaking, Fangzheng's general procedure for burning firewood was to first use the first flame to completely burn the target, then bring the firewood back to the Firelink Sacrificial Grounds, and then go through the steps of "squeezing" and "refining" the soul fire to convert it into "energy" that could be used to keep the soul fire burning.
But this time, Fangzheng didn't let Solin follow these steps. Instead, he used the entire process on Solin — a living person.
This meant that Solin would "enjoy" the whole process. She would experience all the steps of "squeezing" and "refining" her soul and body being burned by the first flame. To put it bluntly, it was like a person experiencing the whole process of being executed by a thousand cuts from beginning to end, and then being thrown into a blender and ground into minced meat.
What was more terrifying was that during the process, she would "absolutely" not faint, and she would not be able to escape.
As a result, Solin broke down.
All that was left of her soul was the last spark. At this moment, Solin didn't even have the thought of cursing or begging for mercy. Along with the last spark, the only thing that could be heard was her weak screams of pain.
"No … Please … Don't …"
"Whoosh …"
A gust of wind blew past. In Fangzheng's eyes, the last spark disappeared. At the same time, Solin's voice was mixed with the sound of the wind and disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh my, I didn't expect Solin to die so miserably …"
Fangzheng turned his head and looked behind him. Not far behind Fangzheng, a young man in a uniform and shorts was sitting there with a grin on his face, staring at Fangzheng and the black ashes at his feet.
"Although it's not unexpected, it's still unbelievable that you possess such great power. It seems that the Major has really underestimated you …."
But before he could finish his sentence, the top half of his head flew off like a lid, leaving only his trembling tongue hanging from his gums. The young man, who had lost half of his head, swayed left and right for a moment before he fell to the ground with a plop.
Fangzheng stared coldly at the corpse. With a flick of his right hand, the sword in his hand returned to its original state. However, Fangzheng did not expect that the voice would appear again the moment he turned around.
"I say, aren't you a little too hot-tempered? Fighting just because you say so? That's not good."
Upon hearing the voice again, Fangzheng twitched his brows and turned around. The young man from before had once again appeared on the other side of the auditorium and was staring at him with a grin. Looking at this scene, Fangzheng hurriedly turned around to check on the young man's corpse again. To his surprise, the corpse that was supposed to be there had disappeared without a trace.
"Don't be so surprised."
Looking at Fangzheng's expression, the young man chuckled.
"I'm everywhere and nowhere at the same time …. In fact, I'm just sent by the Major to check on the situation. But your power is also very interesting. The Doctor wanted to destroy her as soon as he sensed that something was amiss, but he didn't expect that he couldn't detect Solin's signal. That's really strange. Where did you take her just now, bro? "
"That's a trade secret."
Fangzheng stared coldly at the young man in front of him. He could sense that the young man was indeed very strange. It seemed that the young man would only appear when he was observing him. But on the other hand, if Sheyan shifted his attention away from the young man, the young man would immediately disappear. To put it simply, the young man was like a thing that alternated between illusion and reality.
If Fangzheng still had the time manipulation power of the Time Dragon, he could easily kill the young man. As long as the time of the young man's existence was fixed at the point where he was observed, Fangzheng could directly obliterate him. But unfortunately, the current Fangzheng couldn't recover the time manipulation power. After burning the woman named Solin, his system recovery progress was only 45%, not even 50%. Currently, Fangzheng could only recover the physical strength of the dragons and the insects. The special powers they possessed were still sealed.
"What's the matter?"
Since he couldn't kill the young man completely, Fangzheng asked straightforwardly. Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, the young man chuckled.
"Actually, I'm just here to pass a message on behalf of the Major …."
As he spoke, the young man stood on the railing, bent down, and made an inviting gesture.
"Welcome to our world, Mr. Fangzheng. It must have been hard on you all to come from afar. As the host, we have prepared a warm gift for you all …. Please accept it. I hope you'll have a pleasant evening!"
After saying that, the young man did a backflip in front of Fangzheng and disappeared without a trace.
But …
"A pleasant evening?"
Gazing in the direction where the young man disappeared, Fangzheng suddenly had a bad premonition. It was obvious that the young man had been monitoring their every move since they arrived here. Although this was within Fangzheng's expectations, from the looks of it, the situation was worse than he had imagined.
Wait, could it be ….
"Rumble …."
At that moment, Fangzheng suddenly heard the roar of helicopters coming from the night sky in the distance. Then, he saw three military helicopters appear in the sky above him. Searchlights lit up and shrouded Fangzheng. At the same time, hundreds of policemen and soldiers in bulletproof vests rushed in from the surrounding emergency exits with weapons in their hands and aimed at the targets in front of them.
"… I can't believe they're doing this."
Looking at the enemies in front of him who obviously did not look like dead people, Fangzheng sighed. Then, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Soon, Intacula's voice sounded.
"What's wrong? Fangzheng? "
"I'm surrounded by guys who look like the Brazilian police and army."
Fangzheng said nonchalantly while looking at the soldiers around him.
"What do we do now? The enemy seems to have infiltrated the country's military and political higher-ups. It'll be troublesome if we go too far. Do I need to raise my hands and surrender? Or …. "
Speaking of this, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"…. How about I solve this problem in my own way?"
"…."
This time, Intacula did not answer immediately. After a while, she spoke.
"Just now, the Rio de Janeiro police launched a surprise attack on Akkad and the others in the name of killing the hotel staff and taking hostages."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
"And the result? I don't think Akkad is the kind of guy who would negotiate with them. "
"…. The mobile squad was wiped out."
Intacula's voice sounded a little agitated, but soon, she calmed down again.
"My order hasn't changed! It's still in effect! Complete your mission! "
“Search
Destroy, got it, Missy. "
Having said that, Fangzheng switched off his cell phone and looked up. At that moment, the police and soldiers had completely surrounded the stadium. The helicopters in the distance had also begun to descend and were ready for battle.
"Then …."
Looking at this scene, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
