Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 760 - 215: Greatest Gain, the Aura of Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable!_3
The result of their attempt to intervene was exactly what they witnessed now: they couldn’t stop this man even in the slightest.
Any one of them who approached was no match for the adversary.
Their astonishment was such that they hadn’t even seen the man use any techniques or spells—just his physical strength was enough to send them flying.
It was utterly inconceivable.
And extremely terrifying!
They simply could not halt such a man; they had been retreating all the way until they reached this location.
In fact, the members of the Holy Fire Guard could hardly believe it themselves—this man had broken in and toppled their ranks in less than the time it took for half a cup of tea to brew. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
In less than half a cup of tea’s time, they had been utterly defeated.
It was not just a disgrace!
But...
Disgrace was better than death!
When this group of defeated Holy Fire Guard members saw their Chief Flag Officer, it was as if they had found their backbone, as well as a lifeline.
They hastily gathered around the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer, their faces etched with fright.
Then, they quickly reported to the Chief Flag Officer, "Chief Flag Officer, there is a trespasser who broke into the Holy Fire Guard headquarters without permission and injured our people without a word! This person must be a Cultivator; otherwise, he couldn’t be this powerful."
The corner of the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer’s mouth twitched slightly—did he really need these fools to report the obvious? He could see with his own eyes that this person was definitely a Cultivator!
Damn it!
Who in the world was this guy?
The thoughts in his mind raced like lightning as he stood there with his hands behind his back because he was holding a piece of jade bi behind him.
Whether by intention or a kind of instinct, he did not want this piece of jade bi to be seen by others, even by his own subordinates.
And it was only now that his panic-stricken subordinates noticed there was a corpse lying in front of their Chief Flag Officer.
Such a corpse appeared to be one of their own.
The members of the Holy Fire Guard were immediately startled.
Why was there a body of one of their own here? And next to it, a bloody long knife?
At that moment, the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer, whose expression was none too pleasant, finally spoke, "This man was bribed by a traitor in an attempt to assassinate me, but I reacted quickly and slew him on the spot."
After saying this, he didn’t care whether they believed him or not.
The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer’s gaze fell on Fan Wu.
His expression was dark and ugly, "Who in the world are you? Why break into the Holy Fire Guard headquarters? Why attack without cause? Do you understand that what you’ve done is tantamount to rebellion?"
But he realized that the man didn’t answer him; this person was approaching at a leisurely pace towards where he stood.
The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer was no fool; he could see that the man before him was very powerful, definitely not someone they could handle.
A feeling of nervousness had begun to creep up on him, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
When the other party was less than ten steps away from him,
The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer saw the man stop.
And then, he heard the man finally speak, "Is Liu Weng locked up in the dungeon here?"
The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected the first thing the other party would ask about to be related to Liu Weng. Naturally, that guy was in the dungeons of the Holy Fire Guard, only now he was a corpse.
"...What do you want with him?" the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer asked, "This person was a traitorous rebel planning sedition. Don’t tell me you’re one of his accomplices?!"
Fan Wu laughed, "He was a rebel? Is it because he refused to hand over that piece of jade bi to you, and then you branded him a rebel?"
Having his charade exposed with a single phrase, the Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer struggled to maintain his composure.
Moreover, he heard a critical term—jade bi!
The very mention of this term was like striking at his Achilles’ heel.
"You traitor, coveting my treasure too?!" The Holy Fire Guard Chief Flag Officer, who had seemed relatively calm, suddenly became agitated and shouted, "Don’t even think about it, you traitor! This treasure belongs to me, not for you rebels to touch!!"
"The Liu Weng you mentioned wanted to fight with me for such a treasure, and now he’s dead in the dungeon! And you, you will only end up the same way as him!!"
"That is the fate of those who covet my treasure!!"
He ranted and raved until now. With a ferocious look, he ordered the Holy Fire Guard members around him, "What are you doing hiding behind me? Get out there and chop that traitor up with your blades! Kill him for me!!"
In his agitated frenzy, he couldn’t help but take his hands from behind his back, waving the jade bi he held.
The jade bi emitted a faint green glow visible to the naked eye, seemingly able to instantly draw out and amplify the deepest desires of a person’s heart.
The members of the Holy Fire Guard, who had shown fear on their faces, suddenly changed their expressions.
