Three Legendary Level nobodies had come to his home turf to seek death. Baiyi was not worried that they would pose any real threat to him, but he was curious about their identities. If he was not mistaken, they were members of the Godsfall cult. Baiyi had always thought of himself as a kind person, so the only people who would come looking for trouble with him were the cultists.
However, just as he changed the Mana in his body to Void Energy, the three gray-robed men in front of him took two steps back in unison. In a horrified and shocked tone, they cried out, "Violator!"
Is this considered as self-introduction? After all, there was only one kind of person who could use this term to address Baiyi — the judicial paladins.
But the question was, why would the three judicial paladins sneak into his house in the middle of the night? While Baiyi was deep in thought, he casually raised his right hand to meet the three Chi Blades that were coming at him. Just as the Chi Blades were about to touch his gauntlet, a black flame flashed and burned the Chi Blades into ashes.
The process was so fast that even the Legendary Level judicial paladins could not see clearly what he had done. They only thought that he had casually blocked their attacks with his hand. There were no sparks from the collision of Chi Blades and there was no ripple from the shield. It was as if he had just waved away a cloud of dust.
The three judicial paladins were alarmed at the same time. After looking at each other, they nodded at the same time. Then, the gray robes on their chests began to burn, revealing a burning emblem underneath.
The emblem looked very familiar. Had I seen it on a demon before? Baiyi thought to himself. Faced with the sudden increase in speed and strength, he casually stretched out two fingers and firmly caught the long sword that was slashing down from the sky.
An ear-piercing sound of metal being twisted could be heard from the sword, but it remained unmoved by Baiyi's fingers. He looked curiously at his opponent's pale and fearful face, which was hidden under the gray robe, and asked in confusion, "Even you will fall?"
As he spoke, he raised his free left hand and spread his five fingers slightly. Just as the long swords on both sides were about to touch his body, Baiyi whispered, "Surrender to the Void …"
After that, he clenched his left hand into a fist and a strange wave spread out with him as the center. The three judicial paladins who were closest to him suddenly stopped and blood flowed out of their mouths as they powerlessly fell to the ground.
This was another way of using Void Energy. It imitated the principles of physics back on Earth and radiated high-frequency vibrations to the surrounding area to destroy the internal structure of the target. This was what Baiyi called Void Wave.
Compared to the Black Flame of the Void that could incinerate everything, the invisible Void Wave was obviously more insidious and hidden. Although the three judicial knights had covered their bodies with Dou Qi shields, they obviously underestimated the strength of the Void Wave. Their Dou Qi shields were easily penetrated and they suffered serious internal injuries.
If they had used all their Dou Qi to protect themselves from the start, they would have been able to hold on for at least two more moves with the help of the mark on their chests. They wouldn't have been instantly killed.
At the end of the day, Baiyi was still holding back. He needed to keep them alive so that he could interrogate them. Otherwise, their internal organs would have been shattered and they would have died on the spot instead of just lying on the ground and spitting out bits of their internal organs.
The faces of the three paladins turned pale. They had also participated in the encirclement of dangerous Violators before but those people's understanding and usage of such evil energy were obviously not as good as this devil in front of them. How long has this Violator been lurking in the shadows? And how did he manage to master this power under the strict surveillance of the Judicial Court?
But now, it was not them who were judging others but Baiyi who was judging them.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Using his Mana, Baiyi lined the three of them up in a row. As he studied the mark on their chests, he asked, "And what's with this mark of yours?"
Based on his preliminary observation, the mark was somewhat similar to the one on the Tiamat but it was not quite the same. Even though it was the same effect of increasing one's strength, it was much smaller and more secretive. It did not give off any evil aura, just like a normal Power Mark. However, according to the Paladin's memory, the Church despised the use of the Power Mark. The entire Church did not have the habit of stamping a Power Mark on someone's body.
Could it be that the Judicial Court would keep up with the times?
Unfortunately, Baiyi did not get an answer in the end. While he was still choosing the interrogation method, the three of them activated a hidden mechanism in their bodies without saying a word. Their bodies instantly burst into flames. Even though Baiyi was prepared and put out the flames in time, the three of them were already severely injured and their lives were hanging by a thread. With just a little bit of effort, they would have died on the spot.
"You never told me that judicial paladins can commit suicide!" Baiyi yelled at the Paladin in the Void in frustration. This was the second time he had failed to capture someone alive.
"I've been here for more than two thousand years. How could I have known that they would turn out like this?" The Paladin explained, feeling wronged. "Based on my understanding of them, they would always arrest people openly. They would never do something so sneaky and sneaky. They would never send only three people to hunt down a trespasser. At the very least, they would prepare a ten-man team with a judicial officer."
"That's strange …" Baiyi said as he used his Psychic Energy to examine the three corpses. At least this time, the corpses were still intact.
Baiyi did not find anything on the corpses that could identify them. All he found was a little remnant of Divine Energy, which proved that they had once mastered this power. This meant that they had given up on the Holy Divine Energy, the signature power of the Church paladins, and switched to Chi Prowess. If they had not introduced themselves, Baiyi would not have known that they were judicial paladins.
"This is too strange …" The Holy Knight was also puzzled by this result. "No matter how the Judgemental Paladins do things, they are still a branch of the Holy Knights. They have always been trained by the Holy Knights, and the only power they can use is the Holy Divine Power … This kind of case of switching to Combat Aura halfway has never happened before."
"Furthermore, Holy Divine Energy is a power that is born from unwavering faith and devout prayers. It will not be weakened by physical aging and incomplete limbs. For them to devolve to this extent … there's only one possibility."
"You mean … fallen?" Baiyi added. "Even judicial paladins can fall?"
"For those who walk in the dark all year round, it's not strange for them to fall," the Cleric Walker interrupted. The Cleric Walker chimed in. "Even I and the Holy Knight have fallen, let alone them."
"You guys are quite different from them," Baiyi said. He did not know what kind of depravity the judicial paladins had fallen into, but the two of them had fallen in a strange direction.
"They might be related to the Godsfall cult." The third figure from the church, the Shadow Walker, suddenly said, "Look at the little tattoo left on their skin."
Baiyi squatted down to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found a black mark near the burn marks on the three bodies. It looked like a sharp edge of a black flame tattoo. Baiyi must have interfered with the tattoo before it was completely burnt away. Taking a closer look at the burn mark, it did look like a tattoo of a flame.
If it weren't for the shadow's careful observation, most people wouldn't have been able to discover this clue.
"Tsk tsk, a fallen Judge Paladin has joined the Godsfall cult? No wonder this cult can grow so strong in the Church's territory. In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not only the judicial paladins that have fallen in the Church. " Baiyi sighed. Once again, he summoned the Black Void Flame and cleaned up the scene. Then, he removed the barrier, and the night returned to peace.
At first, when he was sure that the three were judicial paladins, he was worried. He thought that his true identity had been exposed, and he began to think of a way to escape. But now, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
These three people were not sent by the Judicial Court. They were sent by the Godsfall cult to take revenge on him. He had ruined their plan in Wyllspring, so it was not surprising that he was being targeted. But the strange thing was, why would they send three judicial paladins? Were they not afraid that their plan would be exposed?
Not only that, but they had also sent out three Legendary Level Soul Armatures at the same time. It could be said that they were looking down on Baiyi at the same time. Logically speaking, three Legendary Level Soul Armatures were more than enough to deal with an Intermediate Level Soul Armature. However, Baiyi was someone who had single-handedly wiped out an entire team of demons in Wyllspring. Obviously, three Legendary Level warriors could not do that. So, why would they send three high-level cannon fodder?
Although it was true that Baiyi did not think much of Legendary-level beings, that was only because he could use Void Energy. In fact, when he first faced Undine and Leo, he was forced to use his secret technique. Therefore, the Legendary Level was not as cheap as the Voidwalkers had made it out to be. After all, it was a level that transcended the high and low levels. No matter how powerful an organization was, they would not be so extravagant as to use them as cannon fodder.
Therefore, the current situation was a little interesting. Unfortunately, Baiyi could not find any more clues. He could only put the matter aside for the time being. Instead, he was thinking about how he could inform the Church about the traitor in the Judicial Court. It would be best if he could blow the matter up and force the Church to carry out a big purge. It would be best if the Judicial Court could be abolished.
Without this group of fiercest lackeys, would he not be able to do whatever he wanted?
