Under the command of Military Advisor Black Robe, Xuelao City's intelligence network was extremely effective. The events of the ceremony to close South Stream Temple had long been written down in a very detailed report, and the report had even come with a painting drawn by a painter who had defected from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The Demon Lord had personally seen this painting, seen those two stunning sword glows in the painting. But he still found the description in the report too exaggerated. Only today, when he saw those two sword glows with his own eyes, did he realize that reality was even more absurd than the description in the report.
The Angel of Sacred Light quietly stared at Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
Golden blood trickled down from the tear in its white wing.
Its expression was still indifferent, but its eyes had turned serious.
It had not expected two young humans to block the full-force blow of its spear of light.
What made it even warier was Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong's sword intent.
The two sword intents fusing together was still not enough to defeat it, but there was something hidden within it that made it feel an unprecedented apprehension.
It made it feel even more apprehension than the string of stone pearls on Chen Changsheng's wrist.
That dry Qi that surged from the earth to the heavens, that aura that seemed like it could destroy all… just what was it?
……
……
The Angel of Sacred Light had an unfathomably deep well of experience to draw from, as it had already lived for ages upon ages. Moreover, it possessed sacred eyes bestowed by God.
So it could predict the terror of the stone pearls, could even recognize Chen Changsheng's three swords, see their trajectories, and break them.
But it did not know the identity of the aura revealed by Chen Changsheng's and Xu Yourong's combined swords.
This aura was one of destruction and came from the lost Halving Blade Style. More accurately it was The World Ablaze.
The Halving Blade Style was Zhou Dufu's supreme skill.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong's harmonization of swords had originated from when they had cultivated the Halving Blade Style in the Mausoleum of Zhou and the Mausoleum of Books.
When their sword glows descended, they naturally carried some of that hostility Zhou Dufu had for the entire world, that overpowering will that dared to destroy the world.
In the face of this will and Qi, even a divine expert from the other continent would feel fear.
Zhou Dufu was the supreme expert beneath the starry sky.
Both the Central Continent and the Sacred Light Continent were still beneath the starry sky.
The Angel took in a deep breath.
This single breath caused a turbulence in the surrounding air.
Its naked chest slowly rose, then fell.
Countless thunderclaps could faintly be heard.
It raised the spear of light and pointed it at Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
Fear was because its long life had been threatened, which had stimulated a limitless desire to kill.
This was the instinct of life, even for a servant of God.
The Angel had decided to kill Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong, had decided to use its strongest move, even if it would worsen its injuries.
It could not permit these two young humans to continue maturing.
From several dozen zhang away, Chen Changsheng could sense the terrifying pressure from the spear.
He was not intending to escape, as the Angel was too fast. Even if Xu Yourong could keep up, he could not.
He raised his left hand and pointed it at the spear.
The stone pearls on his wrist began to spin, clacking against each other.
It was a very soft sound, but it contained the boundless strength of time.
The thousand-some sword glows scattered across the dark skies flew back to quietly hover around him and Xu Yourong.
The South Stream Temple sword array was formed once more, and now it had the Heavenly Tome Monoliths as a foundation. Chen Changsheng was confident that this could resist the Angel's attack, at least for a while.
As long as they could buy some time, he and Xu Yourong could attack.
He was confident that Xu Yourong understood his meaning, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw her lightly shake her head.
We cannot continue to fight, or else too many people will die.
If the priests outside the courtyard did not have the protection of the Li Palace's grand array, they would assuredly be killed by the ripples from the coming battle.
And how many demi-human people in White Emperor City would die?
Chen Changsheng glanced at her and knew what she was thinking.
He had no objection.
”Go.”
Chen Changsheng declared.
