Chapter 296: Lets have a Contest (1/2)
Tang Shaoyang felt the surroundings were very slow to him, including the Templar Knight's movement. He could see the enemy's movement very clearly.
Boom!
He held Hardy's neck and slammed the Templar Knight down, creating a small crater as blood spurted out from his mouth. Tang Shaoyang could see the shock in the Templar Knight's eyes, and could not believe what he just experienced.
”How!?” Hardy muttered a single word after getting slammed down. Yes, how!? He could not see the opposite party's movement at all. He felt that his neck was suddenly gripped and then his body got slammed down.
'My [Flash Step] seems to become a lot stronger,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.
”I told you because you are too weak!” He grinned as he put his right foot on Hardy's chest.
The fourth Templar Knight was easily taken down by one man, shocking the city guards and adventurers who watched the clash from the wall.
They barely saw anything, a figure flashed, then they saw the Templar Knight's body slammed down to the ground. They could not see clearly what actually happened. What they could see was that the fourth Templar Knight lost in the clash.
The same for them as well, they did not recognize the bald Tang Shaoyang for a while until one of the adventurers yelled a name.
”It's Hell-Level Criminal, Tang!” When the name was brought up, the gasp of surprise could be heard. The name of Tang alarmed the people immediately as there was Tang Shaoyang's sketch spread in the city.
”That's right, you people regarded me as Hell-Level Criminal with vague sh*t excuse!” Tang Shaoyang yelled to the wall, ”Now I am back to crush these people, the Waskin Family! The Luminous Church! This is a battle between them and me! Drop your weapon, and we will not attack you! But if you resist you will be killed!”
As Tang Shaoyang finished his words, rows of beastmen mixed with beasts slowly emerged out from the forest. Before, the beastmen were never involved in the Beast Stampede, but now the people could see rows of them at once.
”Don't be afraid you STUPID! You have church on your back, these filthy beasts could never win against the Church!” From below him, Hardy yelled loudly to rally the morale.
”Quite brave, aren't you?” Tang Shaoyang grinned as he looked down at the long-haired man, ”Unfortunately, your time is up!”
Ferocious crimson energy gathered in Tang Shaoyang's hand. The violent energy formed a blade, ”Let's try how strong this Slayer Energy is, shall we?”
[Harmony Sphere]
The fourth Templar Energy could feel the strong energy from the close range. He realized that his life was in danger and immediately cast his ultimate skill.
”Fool! Your cheap trick can never break my shield! I, Hardy, the Divine Shield of the Harmony Goddes–” the words stopped halfway as the ferocious energy easily penetrated the shield, piercing through Hardy's neck.
—Slayer Energy is similar to Mana, but it's stronger than mana. You can control it like you control the mana through [Mana Manipulation]!
That was Zaneos conclusion after a few tests about Slayer Energy. It was just unknown whether the energy could be used to cast a spell or not since it was something new even for the thousands of years Dragon.
Tang Shaoyang pulled the blade to the side, ripping the neck, and separating the head from the body. He then extended his hand to the headless body, soon the body disappeared.
