"Lunatic." Liz ignored what Zhou Wen said and waved her hand to signal for the inspector beside her to grab the heavily injured Zhou Wen.
She had already wasted too much time and was much later than she had planned. It was already difficult to say if she could take Zhou Wen away before the An family arrived, so she couldn't waste any more time.
The inspectors swarmed forward. As they walked up, the exposed stone steps widened. It wasn't as narrow as before, allowing them to swarm up.
However, this time, Zhou Wen didn't immediately escape. Sitting on the stone steps, he extended his palm and slowly struck at the inspector who was leading the charge.
Zhou Wen's palm looked weak, as though it didn't contain any strength. Furthermore, when he struck out, he was nearly two meters away from the inspector. He didn't even touch the corner of the inspector's clothes.
Liz and the inspectors naturally didn't believe that Zhou Wen had the ability to strike someone across space. Skills that could release Primordial Energy were rare even among Legendaries. It was impossible for someone at the Mortal stage to master such a technique. Even if he had such a Primordial Energy Skill, his Primordial Energy at the Mortal stage wasn't enough to sustain the expenditure of such a skill.
However, with Zhou Wen's strike, the inspector silently collapsed to the ground, giving everyone a fright.
Zhou Wen's expression didn't change as he struck out a few more times in the air. The remaining inspectors immediately fell to the ground as if their souls had been scattered.
Liz was alarmed and appalled. She almost couldn't believe her eyes. The Legendary inspectors were clearly dead, but she couldn't tell how Zhou Wen had killed them. Her eyes shimmered as she was alarmed and puzzled. She didn't dare approach Zhou Wen for a moment.
However, Zhou Wen knew very well that they hadn't been killed by him. Instead, their lives had been taken by the stone steps and Small Buddha Temple's mysterious power.
However, no one knew the mysterious power better than Zhou Wen. He had only calculated the time of the inspectors' deaths and acted as though he had attacked. It was all a bluff.
What left Zhou Wen depressed was that Liz didn't seem to be affected by the stone steps' power. Otherwise, she would've died on the stone steps.
Strange, could it be that Liz has a Primordial Energy Skill similar to Heart Meditation? That's why he wasn't killed by that mysterious power? But that's not right. Even if she really has a Primordial Energy Skill similar to Heart Meditation, she shouldn't have used it ahead of time if she doesn't know the secret here … What's going on?
Zhou Wen was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face. He continued sitting leisurely on the stone steps and looked down at Liz. "I didn't want to kill anyone, so why must you force me?"
Zhou Wen's words were half-truths. If Liz hadn't forced him into a corner, he definitely wouldn't have wanted someone dead, much less the people from the bureau.
It was hard to say if Zhou Wen would be able to explain his death in the future. He might even be wanted by the Federation.
Even so, Zhou Wen didn't wish to expose the secret of the mysterious phone.
At most, I'll be like those fugitives and escape into dimensional zones that aren't under human control. As long as I have the mysterious phone, the danger of dimensional zones doesn't exist for me. Zhou Wen made up his mind. If he really had nowhere else to go, he would have no choice but to be forced into a corner.
"Cut the act. Do you think you can fool me like that?" Liz didn't believe that a Mortal stage student like Zhou Wen would possess such terrifying strength.
However, she couldn't tell how the four inspectors had died. She was somewhat hesitant and didn't dare charge forward.
"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. Let's see if my Formless Divine Palm can kill you," Zhou Wen said with a deadpan expression as though he had a card up his sleeve.
However, Zhou Wen grumbled inwardly. I've already dragged it out for so long. Logically speaking, without the protection of Heart Meditation, no matter how strong Liz is, she should've died on the stone steps. Why is she completely fine?
"What Formless Divine Palm? I've never heard of it." Liz's eyes kept sizing up Zhou Wen and the four dead inspectors, hoping to find a flaw and figure out how the four Legendary inspectors had died.
"Formless Divine Palm is colorless and shadowless. It can kill without a trace. This is a Primordial Energy Skill that Ouyang Lan gave me to protect my life. I usually don't dare use it easily, and if I hadn't been forced into a corner by you today, I wouldn't have used such an extremely sinister Primordial Energy Skill." Although Zhou Wen spoke nonsense, he was thinking of a way to escape.
Zhou Wen didn't believe that he could really scare Liz. The reason why she didn't dare charge forward was because she hadn't figured out how her four colleagues had died. She didn't dare take the risk.
Liz was skeptical of Zhou Wen's words. Indeed, she couldn't tell how the four inspectors had died. They didn't seem to be injured at all.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Liz's mind as she recalled the forbidden zone sign she had seen. Immediately, she came to a realization as she sized up her surroundings and sneered. "Then let me try. Let's see how your Formless Divine Palm can kill me."
As she spoke, Liz summoned a Companion Beast.
It had a pair of pure white wings, tender skin, and a white chiffon dress. It looked like an angel from myths and legends, but there was one thing that was different from the angels in myths and legends. This angel-like Companion Beast didn't have a head, and there was nothing above its neck.
"Headless Angel!" Zhou Wen immediately exclaimed when he saw the Companion Beast that resembled a headless angel.
Headless Angel was just too famous. Although Headless Angel was a Companion Beast from the West District of the League, its name had already spread throughout the League.
Headless Angel wasn't a real angel, but a figure from Western legends.
Legend had it that there was a devout nun who believed in God with an extremely holy heart. She looked forward to the day she could ascend to heaven and become an angel that served God.
Everyone who saw the nun felt that she was the most holy and flawless person in the world. Everyone who knew her believed that she would ascend to heaven after her death and become an angel that served God.
Perhaps the nun's piety had touched God. One day, God really descended in front of the nun and cast divine light, turning the nun's mortal body into an angel.
Just as the nun's body was transforming into an angel's body, she saw a prisoner who was being executed praying and repenting to God.
Hence, the nun asked God, "That prisoner is so pious. Can you pardon his sins?"
God replied, "I can pardon the prisoner's sins, but this sin has to be borne by someone. If the nun is willing, she can take the prisoner's place on the guillotine and bear his sins."
After the nun heard that, she resolutely chose to bear the prisoner's sins. Hence, with a flash of divine light, the prisoner on the guillotine was replaced by the nun who was about to transform into an angel. Before the nun could transform into an angel's body, her head was chopped off.
Although her head had been chopped off, the nun's other parts of her body had already transformed into an angel's body. She had an undying body, so she didn't die from having her head chopped off.
However, the head didn't have the time to transform into an angel, so it couldn't be restored. Therefore, the nun became the Decapitated Angel in Western mythology.
Although the name was terrifying, Decapitated Angel was synonymous with holiness in the West District.
After the dimensional storms descended, a Decapitated Angel mutated creature appeared in a dimensional zone in the West District. It was later killed by humans and obtained a Companion Egg.
The Epic Decapitated Angel became famous in the Earth Federation. Her greatest strength wasn't her combat strength, but her powerful guardian powers.
With the Decapitated Angel's protection, all sorts of curses, blood curses, and other evil powers were unable to harm her master. It was currently the most powerful guardian Companion Beast known in the West.
The owner of the Decapitated Angel relied on the Decapitated Angel's protective powers to explore many mysterious and dangerous dimensional zones that humans viewed as forbidden zones. Every time, she would be able to survive and return safely.
