Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 402 - 154: Earth Deity: What on Earth Are You!? (A 10,000-word mega - , please subscribe)_5
Even he, the Chief Flag Officer, had been sent flying by the invisible shockwave, let alone the other members of the Skywatch Agency.
They were even more disheveled.
One by one, the Skywatch Agency members were flung backward like bouncing balls, not knowing how many trees they had smashed or how many bones they had broken, nor did they know how far they had been hurled.
When they each hit the ground, the only sounds to be heard were their cries of pain. The only sensation they felt was the intense agony throughout their bodies.
Since joining the Skywatch Agency, they had never experienced such a ragged state.
Now they had.
And it had nearly cost them their lives!
As the Chief Flag Officer of the Guyuan County Skywatch Agency crashed heavily to the ground, he felt as though he was about to breathe his last. It took a great effort just to catch his breath, and he felt pain in every part of his body.
Fortunately, since he was after all the Chief Flag Officer of the Skywatch Agency, both his cultivation and physical robustness were slightly higher than those of the other members.
The Chief Flag Officer of the Skywatch Agency struggled to his feet, propping himself up against a nearby boulder to prevent another fall.
He opened his eyes to look ahead.
Suddenly...
He was completely stunned.
His face was filled with shock and horror!
All he could see were trees in front of him toppled in his direction, the weeds on the ground long since uprooted, leaving a barren landscape ahead.
"This... cough cough..." the Chief Flag Officer of the Skywatch Agency gaped in disbelief, "If this attack had landed in the central region of Guyuan County..."
He couldn’t imagine how many people would have died?
A few hundred?
A few hundred might just be a fraction.
A few thousand?
That was more likely.
Or even over ten thousand?
He dared not think any further.
He couldn’t even discern whether this attack came from the contaminated Earth Deity or from Daoist Priest Fan... Such a level of battle was beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators like himself.
All he could feel was shock and horror, challenged to imagine that a Taoist like Daoist Priest Fan could actually do battle with a god, the Earth God of Guyuan County.
And the fact that the battle was evenly matched, with such fearsome destructive power, truly made his blood run cold.
"That arrest officer Liu from Qiulong County, who brought this Daoist Priest Fan... just who exactly is he?"
He murmured to himself in shock.
The Chief Flag Officer immediately turned to look in other directions, because only now did he realize that he still had subordinates. If his men had died in the aftermath of this battle, then he would have had a difficult time explaining himself to his superiors.
Fortunately...
When he saw that, although the members of the Skywatch Agency were in an even more pitiful state than himself and their injuries were more severe, he couldn’t help but feel a weight lifted off his shoulders, releasing a sigh of relief.
It couldn’t be helped.
In such a terrifying situation, even being heavily wounded was extremely lucky, surviving was a mercy from the heavens!
Better off than the group from the Skywatch Agency.
Was Yun Jiuqing.
"My goodness..." Yun Jiuqing swallowed a mouthful of spittle mixed with a bit of dirt, herself looking quite disheveled, but at least her clothes weren’t torn.
This wasn’t because the quality of her clothes was better, but because she had hidden further away.
Especially when she witnessed that dazzling burst of light.
She sensed that something was very wrong.
And quickly hid behind the nearest large rock, only to find that the rock itself had been shattered by the terrifying shockwave that came her way.
But, fortunately, since the rock had shielded her from the full force of the violent shockwave, it didn’t cause her too much harm.
Just enough to leave her covered in bruises and looking messy.
That was from being hit by the stones.
Yun Jiuqing had anticipated that the battle between Daoist Priest Fan and the Earth God of Guyuan County would be unimaginably destructive. But she hadn’t expected it to be this extreme.
She had tried to mentally prepare for the destruction to be grossly exaggerated, yet she had still underestimated it.
If only she had known, she would have hidden even further away.
Then she would have been completely unscathed.
"Daoist Priest Fan... he should be safe and sound, right?" Yun Jiuqing might trust Fan Wu unconditionally, but the enemy they now faced was neither evil spirit nor aggrieved soul.
Nor was it any kind of strange creature.
It was a deity!
An Earth God!
...
Guyuan County.
The earth-shattering commotion woke everyone in the county town.
They ran out of their homes in a panic.
But they found no trouble nearby.
Which left them completely baffled.
They had no idea what had happened.
"What’s going on..." A portly middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious clothing and surrounded by several house servants, came out of a large house in a panic.
His gaze swept around, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, which puzzled him as he muttered to himself, "The ground seemed to shake all of a sudden, and what about that deafening noise?"
"Master, perhaps it was thunder?" suggested a nervous house servant by his side, weakly.
