Chi Shou's reaction was also extremely fast. The moment he sensed danger, his body abruptly sank down toward the bottom of the city wall.
At the same time, a sword light streaked past where he had been standing. With a rumble, half of the city wall was cut off. Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and many of the handgunmen who hadn't been able to escape in time were killed or injured.
His heart skipped a beat, and he rejoiced that he had dodged.
Although he could pass through all kinds of buildings and obstacles, it was very difficult for him to defend against attacks with spiritual power.
This was also why he had lost to Almote back then. The attacks he was most proficient in couldn't break through Almote's overall defense, and his defense was abnormally weak in front of him. In a head-on battle, he had no hope of victory.
At this time, another sense of danger arose. He hurriedly dodged, and another sharp sword light streaked past his side, piercing through a stone wall on the side in passing.
However, the warning in his heart didn't go away. He knew that the sword light would probably turn back very soon, so he didn't dare to stay, shuttling back and forth between different buildings to dodge.
The reason why he had targeted Zhang Yu earlier was because he was acquainted with Dou Chang. He knew that this person was from the same generation as the Profound Palace's Principal, Zhang Yu Chun. He had a wealth of battle experience and was not easy to deal with.
However, he didn't recognize Zhang Yu, whose face was hidden under the hood. He guessed that this person might be one of the Xuanfu's Xuanxiu who had just obtained the power of the second book. In that case, he should be relatively lacking in experience and would be easier to deal with.
But now, he didn't think so. On the contrary, he felt a bit of regret.
He felt that even if he faced Dou Chang, even if the other party could fly and he couldn't find an opportunity, he would be able to withdraw in time and not be in such a difficult situation.
After successfully dodging another sword light, he gained a slight chance to catch his breath and began to think of a countermeasure in his mind.
He believed that the other party must have relied on some kind of spiritual guidance to be able to sense him.
Every time before he made a move, his signs of life would be extremely restrained. Not to mention aura, smell, and other information, even his heartbeat and blood flow wouldn't be detected. It was as if he didn't exist in the first place.
However, the only thing that was still active and could expose his existence was his emotions and consciousness.
After coming to this conclusion, he immediately tried to suppress his emotions and reduce the activity of his consciousness as much as possible. At the same time, he sped up and ran away.
He couldn't be blamed for being afraid of the enemy and avoiding the battle. The key was that he had no ability to fight back against the flying enemy. Other than running away, there was nothing else he could do. He could only hope that the power of the sacrifice would be transmitted quickly so that he could have a fair fight.
After Zhang Yu obtained the statue, his Heart Lake Reflection suddenly reflected a killing intent. Naturally, he would not be polite and directly slashed out with his sword. After a dozen or so sword strikes, he was able to roughly determine the other party's identity from his actions.
It should be late.
In the Army of God, there was only one person who could come here and had the ability to travel between realms.
However, after a few more sword strikes, the other party's presence continued to weaken, and it seemed to be fading away from the lake in his heart. It was likely that the other party had sensed that he had been exposed and had quickly found a way to deal with it.
From this point of view, the other party was indeed worthy of his original identity as a marquis of the Army of God.
With a thought, Xia Jian suddenly flew back. He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword. The man and the sword immediately connected, and the lake in his heart expanded in an instant.
Under this stronger feeling, the already weakened emotional reaction once again emerged from the lake in his heart.
His eyes flashed, and his body was pushed by the light in his heart. In an instant, he appeared in the sky above the target. Then, with a thought, he once again led the sword to attack.
Although he was moving on the ground, it was impossible for him to be faster than the escape light in the sky. At this time, he sensed an underground tunnel that seemed to lead to several wide spaces. He was delighted and quickly sank down. The sword light followed closely behind. Everywhere it passed, all the obstructions were pierced and torn apart. A large number of underground structures also collapsed.
He twisted and turned in the underground tunnel, but he was still unable to shake off the pursuit of the sword light. Just as he was in a terrible fix, he suddenly felt a powerful force descend upon him, surging out from his heart.
His mind was roused, knowing that the power of the Priest Corps had finally arrived. He immediately activated this power, and his entire body transformed into a wisp of smoke. His speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he charged out of the range of the Zhang Yu Lake's senses.
On the other side, Dou Chang did not encounter any obstructions. He followed the predetermined steps and charged into the strongholds and residences of the tribal leaders, finding them and killing them.
The smaller tribes still had some ability to resist, but the two large tribes, after their Priest Corps had been destroyed, had lost the majority of their extraordinary strength. They were simply unable to stop his charge.
There were also some people who had received the news that the situation was bad and began to retreat from the city with their trusted aides.
Dou Chang did not pursue them. This was actually what he wanted to see.
As long as these people left Chaoming City, it would mean that they had given up on their power and wealth. When the people of the Protectorate came and cleaned up the middle and lower ranks, they would no longer have any influence.
But as for those who still held fast in the city and were still unwilling to give up, he would resolutely purge them.
His movements were much more violent than those of Zhang Yu Lake. Often, after identifying a target, he would directly charge in. Along the way, whether it was the buildings or the obstacles such as antlers or spikes, he would smash them all to smithereens.
At this moment, a large residence appeared in front of him. The banner hanging from the residence indicated that this was one of the three major tribes in the city, the Ironwing Tribe. He charged in just like before, but just as he broke through the thick walls and charged into the inner courtyard, he was met with a cannon blast.
This scattershot swept through the entire courtyard, turning the originally exquisite inner courtyard into a scene of devastation. Smoke and dust roiled, and one of the walls was also on the verge of collapsing.
A group of guards stared with wide eyes, anticipating the result of this cannon blast. But to their despair, that figure flickering with light was not affected at all. He did not even pause in his movements as he continued to charge forward.
A loud collision sound rang out. Amidst the dust and debris from the explosion that filled the air, the ray of light had already rushed towards the inner courtyard. Behind him, only the shattered stone platform, the bent cannon barrel, and the human body that had been twisted into a ball was left.
The sound soon came from a house in the deepest part of the building. Amidst the sounds of impact and destruction, the entire building finally collapsed.
After a while, the stones on the ground were suddenly blasted away. A figure flickering with light charged into the sky. After glancing down, he flew off in another direction.
When Zhang Yu sensed that Chi Yao had disappeared from the lake in his heart, he called back his flying sword and took it back into his hand.
At that moment, he felt many spiritual powers of different origins appear on Chi Yao's body, which caused the latter's sudden increase in speed.
In such a situation, it was clear that someone was helping him, and there was more than one.
If he was not mistaken, this should be the remaining priests in Chaoyang City.
There were three tribes in Chaoyang City. The priests of two tribes had been destroyed by them. So, these people were undoubtedly the priests of the last tribe.
Even if Chi Yao was not here, these people had to be eliminated.
But where were they?
After thinking for a while, he picked up the sword and held it horizontally in front of him. Then, he closed his eyes and focused his mind on it.
After a while, he let go of his hand. Xia Sword turned into a stream of light and flew to the edge of the city wall. Then, with him as the center, it quickly flew around Chaoyang City.
After circling twice, he sensed something strange from the northwest of the city!
He opened his eyes.
There!
With a boom, he turned into a stream of light and rushed in that direction. In a short while, he arrived above the area.
After looking down for a while, he pointed his finger at Xia Sword, which was floating beside him. The sword's blade shone brightly. After a while, a dazzling light fell from the sky and shot straight into the ground.
In a spacious space below, more than twenty priests were concentrating on a temporary statue of Chi Yao. They tried their best to put their spirituality on him.
However, at this time, a strong emotion suddenly came from their hearts, as if reminding them of the impending danger. This was Chi Yao's warning to them.
However, it was too late. A light suddenly pierced through the top of their heads. After circling around the room at an extremely fast speed, it flashed and flew out again.
The entire underground hall suddenly became quiet.
After a while, one person fell first. His head rolled to the side, then the second, the third … All the priests fell to the ground and died. Without exception, their heads were separated from their bodies.
