After only 15 minutes, Zhang Yu arrived at the dilapidated city. The short believers with gray wrinkled skin in the city noticed his arrival and immediately opened the city gate. A group of about 30 believers rushed out under the lead of a leader.
However, after the leader was casually chopped down by Zhang Yu, the rest of the believers immediately lost their fighting spirit. They threw away their weapons and ran back at a faster speed. Then, the repaired city gate was closed with a loud bang.
Zhang Yu walked forward unhurriedly. Soon, some of the Evil God's followers poked their heads out from the city walls and took out their muskets to fire at him.
In addition, some cannons placed on the city wall also roared, but the shells were all deflected hundreds of feet away.
At a glance, it was obvious that they were a motley crew.
Occasionally, some guns would land on him, but they were all blocked by a layer of lustrous light. They all fell down one by one as if they had lost their power, jumping and rolling in the dust.
He ignored these messy attacks and walked slowly until he came to the city gate. He reached out his hand and pressed lightly. With a boom, the entire thick and heavy city gate flew out. The group of Evil God believers hiding behind the city gate were all sent flying by the flying city gate. Then, the city gate landed on the ground with a loud boom while being wrapped in a pile of flesh and blood.
There were at least thousands of believers in the city, but at this time, none of them dared to appear in front of him again. They all screamed and fled in all directions.
Zhang Yu shifted his gaze and fell on the tallest building in the city. It was the only well-preserved palace in the city. It was originally the location of the king's palace, but now it had become the place of worship for the evil god.
He walked along the broken stone steps that were overgrown with weeds. Miaodan Lord had been hiding beside him all this time. Its eyes were fixed in front, and its ears were slightly shaking, vigilant of the movements in all directions.
The spiritual leopard cat was a creature that was very good at hunting. Its senses were also very sharp, and it could usually detect dangerous situations in advance. It was a great help to its master. Otherwise, Goddess Ya Qiu wouldn't have kept such a creature by her side.
However, Zhang Yu didn't bring Miaodan Lord out this time to let it help him. His main purpose was to make sure that this little leopard cat didn't lose its inherent hunting ability.
He walked along the uphill road. After a while, he arrived in front of the temple. He lowered his head and said to Miaodan Lord, "Guard outside." Then, he stepped into the temple.
Miaodan Lord's ears twitched slightly, and it quickly scurried into the grass and gravel on the side.
After Zhang Yu stepped through the door, he looked around and saw that the palace was filled with strings of gold and silver leaves. He could see the huge statue at the back of the palace at a glance. It looked exactly the same as the statue he had seized that day. It should be the same Evil God.
At this moment, a tall figure stood under the statue. This evil god's follower should also be a god's descendant. He wore a half-sleeved white robe that covered his whole body, and a belt with gold ornaments around his waist. His exposed arms were dark blue in color. His face was narrow, and his head seemed to have been stretched. His eye sockets were deep, and the muscles on his body were slender and strong.
When the god's descendant saw Zhang Yu coming in, he suddenly raised his hands as if he was praying. Suddenly, the whole temple shook, and gravel kept falling from the top. Then, the huge statue's eyes lit up, and it slowly stood up and walked toward the front of the temple.
Zhang Yu's face under the hood was unusually calm. He stood still in the same place. When the huge figure came close, it directly passed through him like a gust of wind, and only made his clothes flutter.
It was completely an illusion.
When the god's descendant saw this, he immediately turned around and picked up a gold and bronze axe from the altar. Then, he held it with both hands and rushed toward him.
Zhang Yu drew his sword and met him head-on. However, at the moment when the two were about to collide, he suddenly held the sword with both hands, turned the blade, and slashed at the empty space on his left.
The blade seemed to have cut something, and a soft scraping sound was heard. A spray of blue blood sprayed out.
As for the God's Descendant who swung his axe, the moment it hit him, he suddenly burst like a bubble.
After a moment, there was the sound of an object falling to the ground. After a while, a body that had been cut in two gradually appeared on the ground. It was the god's descendant.
Zhang Yu gently shook the blade and put it back into the scabbard. Then, he strode forward until he arrived in front of the huge statue. He raised his head slightly and his body slowly floated up until he was right in front of the statue's face.
The huge statue's head was almost the same size as his body. At this moment, the red jewels embedded in its deep eye sockets flickered incessantly. At the same time, he heard that rustling sound again.
He paid no attention to it. He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the statue's forehead.
A burst of light immediately appeared on the statue. The hot flow inside surged, but it seemed to be isolated by a layer of energy.
Zhang Yu had encountered a similar situation before. This was the protection of divine power. However, unlike before, he had a deeper understanding of divine power. As a result, he did not need to use the Golden Ring of Sealing to break it. The fiery light on his body surged up.
In just a few breaths, the layer of divine power was easily broken through by him. Then, a burst of hot flow poured into his body.
The entire statue trembled slightly at the same time. As the cracks spread, it seemed to have gone through thousands of years of changes. It shattered and collapsed, finally turning into a pile of dust.
Zhang Yu descended from the sky. The fine sparks in his eyes also disappeared.
Just as he was about to leave, he looked around and saw a few human skulls on the altar. They were all supported by jade plates and silk cloth. It could be seen that they belonged to a man and a woman.
He pondered for a moment. If he guessed correctly, these should be the skulls of the previous King and Queen. They were just placed here as offerings.
He stretched out his finger and a large hole appeared under the altar. The altar fell down. Then, he flicked his sleeve and filled the hole. Only then did he turn around and walk out.
Outside, a golden light flashed and Miao Dan Lord leaped in front of him. He raised his head and meowed at him. Then, he slowly approached him.
Zhang Yu noticed that there were two short evil god believers in the grass with their throats torn. He said to Miao Danjun, "Well done."
He didn't suffer any losses in this battle. He was about to leave this place and look for his next target, but at this time, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was about to happen that was related to him.
He did not know where this feeling came from, but it was very clear. This was undoubtedly the effect of the Divine Instinct Seal.
A thought flashed through his mind. He had only been to this lower level a few times. If there was anything he had to do with, it was either these strange creatures or the disciples of Yu Xuanzun.
There were very few foreign creatures that could threaten him. If EsGod's projection was here, he would have appeared long ago. Therefore, it was very likely the latter.
He thought for a moment. It was at most two days' journey from the military base to here. The situation was still unknown, and it was hard to say what he would encounter. He might as well just wait here and deal with this matter first before moving forward.
Thus, his body flashed, and he had already leaped to the top of the temple and sat down.
After Cultivator Xu and Junior Martial Brother Su left the barracks, they ran with all their might in order to catch up to Zhang Yu. When noon passed, the two of them appeared on the mountain ridge that Zhang Yu had passed by.
Cultivator Xu looked at the dilapidated city in the distance and saw a figure sitting there. He became spirited and said, "We've caught up. He's right there."
Junior Brother Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Why does it look like he's waiting for us? There won't be any traps, right? "
Cultivator Xu thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Just be careful."
"There are two of us. The one who should be careful is him."
Junior Brother Su said it casually, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart. After all, this Senior Brother of his had always been proud and arrogant. Now that he was forced to find help, he did not dare to underestimate his opponent.
At this moment, Zhang Yu also saw the figure on the mountain ridge opposite. This also confirmed the feeling in his heart. He stood up and stood at the top of the temple with his sword, quietly waiting for the two to arrive.
Not long after, the two figures rushed into the city and leaped to the top of the temple one after the other. They stood on the left and right.
Cultivator Xu stared at Zhang Yu and said, "Xuanxiu, I have a question. Why did you come up last time …"
Zhang Yu was not in the mood to talk to these people who treated the lives of low-level soldiers like grass. He had already wasted a lot of time here. After dealing with these two people, he could hurry on with his journey. Thus, he drew his sword and slashed at them.
This time, Cultivator Xu had learned his lesson and was always on guard. When he saw Chen Xi show signs of drawing his sword, he immediately flew back.
At this moment, Junior Brother Su waved his hand and a leaf blade flew over. However, it did not fly towards Zhang Yu. Instead, it landed slightly in front of him. Obviously, it was only used to block the enemy.
He stared closely at Zhang Yu. At the same time, another leaf blade quietly floated behind him.
Although it was his first time coming to the lower levels, he understood that in a place like this, it was very difficult to use Daoist techniques. The exchange of offense and defense between the enemy and himself was extremely fast. Sometimes, victory or defeat could be decided in a few breaths. Once Zhang Yu's advance was thwarted, their opportunity would appear.
At this moment, Zhang Yu slightly raised his elbow. It looked like he was going to use his sword to slash at the leaf blade.
When Cultivator Xu saw this, he slowed his steps and narrowed his eyes. He leaped forward. As long as Zhang Yu's blade fell, this attack would no longer be a threat to him. Not only that, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
But at this moment, the two of them saw the light on Zhang Yu's body suddenly expand. Unexpectedly, he didn't use his sword to block. Instead, he directly collided with the leaf blade!
The leaf blade wasn't able to penetrate the light at the first moment. Instead, it was slowed by the collision. As for Zhang Yu, he suddenly sped up and disappeared from the blade's edge. When the leaf blade moved forward again, it missed and spun in place.
Cultivator Xu made a mistake in his judgment and realized that things were not good. Just as he tried to dodge again, a sword light flashed past. Zhang Yu had already passed by him. Then, with a light tap of his foot, he turned and rushed toward Junior Brother Su.
Junior Brother Su was very calm. He stared closely at Zhang Yu's charging figure. The leaf blade on his back didn't move. When Zhang Yu got close, he moved his finger and slashed from behind.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed, but he didn't dodge. The blade of his sword moved quickly and cut through Junior Brother Su's body. The leaf blade slammed into his protective light and only managed to penetrate two inches. When it touched his Tian Huan Cloak, it lost its power to move forward and slid down.
Zhang Yu's foot landed and he stood still with a thud. Behind him, two headless corpses fell from the top of the Divine Temple and landed heavily on the ground.
