Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 759 - 215: Greatest Gain, the Aura of Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable!_2
This is indeed a bit strange; he always felt that the Chief Flag Officer had been acting odd lately, as if he became more suspicious than before and even more quick-tempered.
Reasonably speaking, the Chief Flag Officer of the past would never have doubted the Little Banner Officer, but why would he say such things today?
How bizarre! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Hmm?" The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering within them, "Are you making excuses for him? Have you taken his Silver, becoming his person?"
This blunt interrogation terrified the Holy Fire Guard member, leaving him pallid.
The Holy Fire Guard member immediately knelt to the ground with a thud, his face full of panic as he hastily replied, "Misunderstanding! Chief Flag Officer, you misunderstand, I did not take the Little Banner Officer’s Silver!"
"I have always been loyal to you, Chief Flag Officer! You bid me go east and I would never head west! Even if you ordered me to unsheathe my sword and take my own life, I wouldn’t hesitate!"
"Chief Flag Officer, my loyalty to you is profound!"
"Is that so?" The Chief Flag Officer of the Holy Fire Guard leaned slightly back, then said to the man with a not-quite-smile, "Then I command you, unsheathe your sword and take your life now! The time has come to show your loyalty, perform for your officer!"
"What?" The Holy Fire Guard member never expected the Chief Flag Officer to issue such a deadly command!
He wished he could slap himself.
If only he had not spoken out of turn, saying such a thing, he would not be in this predicament!
But he had been too talkative!
He believed the Chief Flag Officer was merely making a rather excessive joke; he just needed to kneel down and show submission, and the Chief Flag Officer would let him go.
However...
As he was kneeling with his head down, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow forming before him. It seemed like the shadow of a person, causing him to lift his head in utter astonishment.
And that glance froze him with terror.
For he saw the Chief Flag Officer had come close to him, holding a long saber in hand, with a face twisted in fierce rage and hatred!
"Officer! Spare..."
Swish—
The Holy Fire Guard member’s words were cut off, as the long saber descended with deadly accuracy, splitting his head in two, allowing red and white to spill all over the ground.
"Huff—huff—" The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer casually tossed aside the blood-stained saber, appearing to gasp for breath after cleaving a man’s skull in half.
He seemed... exceptionally weak.
The sullen rage and ferocity on his face were completely undisguised, "Even dying for your officer proved too much, truly a traitor bought by others! And that Little Banner Officer deserves death too, attempting to buy the loyalty of those close to me! When he returns, I must think of a way to deal with him!"
He knew his suspicions were but that, suspicions. Yet, he believed there was no fault in his skepticism.
Flies do not sting a seamless egg; those he suspected must have had something amiss, to draw the Chief Flag Officer’s suspicion!
Indeed!
That’s exactly it!
As he was about to summon someone to dispose of the body, a commotion suddenly erupted from outside, seemingly quite significant.
"What’s happening?" The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer, with a bad premonition, yelled out, inquiring loudly towards the outside, "What’s all this noise about? What’s going on outside?!"
"Disaster!" Soon after, calls rang out from outside in response, "Chief Flag Officer, it’s terrible! Thieves seek to breach our encampment!!"
"What?!" The word "thieves" seemed to trigger a switch in the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer; his first reaction was not anger but to quickly grab the jade tablet behind him and look for a place to stash it.
However, just as he was lifting the jade tablet, he suddenly caught a reflection in it—a sight behind him.
——Members of the Holy Fire Guard retreating step by step, a tall man advancing towards this place.
In the midst of the chaos, the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer hurriedly turned to look, only to find that the scene reflected by the jade tablet was indeed real!
He watched helplessly as one of his subordinates attempted to attack the man, only for the man to flick his wrist lightly, sending the subordinate tumbling away like a torn sack, crashing heavily into a tree.
What astonishing strength?!
And who was this man?!
"Protect the Chief Flag Officer! Protect the Chief Flag Officer!" A Holy Fire Guard member, retreating in terror, was shouting frantically.
Another member, his face full of dread, scrambled and rolled away, shouting, "Monster! It’s a monster!"
The members of the Holy Fire Guard were clearly in disarray, showing none of the bearing of cultivators.
It wasn’t that they wanted to be so uncomposed; it was simply that the man before them was too terrifying!
Such a man had just arrived and was trying to break into their encampment; naturally, they wanted to stop this completely unknown individual.
