Armipotent

?1386 Persistent Bull

"You are still the same from what I remember about you," Tang Shaoyang muttered as he extended his right toward the incoming bull. He used [Gravity Pull] on Carlos. The latter was not expecting to be pulled by a sudden unknown force that caused him to lose his balance.

Carlos Artura fell forward with his head falling first while his body was still moving toward Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang then used the Heavenly Crushing Strike. His fist was covered in Chaos Energy and struck Carlos's head. It was a direct hit with Carlos not being able to do anything in response. The five-meter figure was shot into the city, went past the crushed wall, and hit the building inside the city.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, looking at his fist. There was blood on his right fist, but what surprised me was that Carlos' head did not pop off with the punch. He could feel that it was a direct hit. There was no barrier between his fist and the head.

Another roar resounded from the city as the debris was sent flying into the air. A five-meter figure stood up from the debris. Carlos Artura walked out of the destroyed building with blood trickling down from his head.

He walked slowly as he slowly picked up the pace and started to run again. The ground once more shook as Carlos made his way toward Tang Shaoyang. But this time, he leaped into the air instead of rushing straight. His movement was fast, but that was not enough to trick Tang Shaoyang's eyes.

Tang Shaoyang could see everything, in fact, it looked slow in his eyes. But as Carlos reached the highest point, his figure crushed down toward Tang Shaoyang in unimaginable speed. It was like a meteor that fell from space as Carlos' body was blazed in flame.

The space cracked as Tang Shaoyang opened the void on the path. He thought of an easier way to get rid of the angry bull. Put the bull in the void. The void cracked open in the air, the gate to the void.

No matter how angry Carlos was, he was not going to charge at the obvious trap. He raised his battle ax and sliced through the void gate. The blazed ax cut through the void gate and destroyed the gate as his figure kept accelerating toward Tang Shaoyang.

"I guess a little bit of a warm-up is good as well," Tang Shaoyang took out his battle ax and swung it upward, meeting with Carlos' hammer.

Boom!

The blazing crimson fire burst out, engulfing both of them as the center. The fire swirled up, reaching fifty meters in the air. Then a figure was thrown from the swirling fire. It was Carlos Artura as he lost again in the second clash.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang swapped his weapon with the sword. He sheathed the pitch-black sword and pointed toward the city.

The Fifth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Sword: Heaven Fall

His sword glowed in black gold as Chaos Energy gathered in his sword. He raised his sword up. It was just a simple movement, but that was enough to alarm the two Cardinals and the five Apostles. Several terrifying auras could be sensed from the city as the seven Demi-God Ranks used Bloodline Transformation.

They wanted to stop Tang Shaoyang, but soon they changed their mind as Tang Shaoyang brought his sword down. There was nothing visual that looked threatening to them, but then they saw the cloud in the sky was split into two.

The seven Demi-God Ranks exchanged glances and nodded. They realized that they had to block incoming swords together if they did not want the city to be split in two. It was not that they could not run from the sword, but they would bring down the name of The Harmony Temple and The Adventurer Guild. Five Apostles and three Cardinals including Carlos Artura whose fate was unknown failed to protect the city from a single person. That would bring a shame to The Harmony Temple and The Adventurer Guild without a doubt. Losing the trust of people as well. They had no choice but to try to stop the sword.

The Seven Demi-God Ranks formed seven layers of protection, putting their mana barrier for the whole city.

Boom!

That was the sound of the first barrier-breaking apart, followed by the second barrier. It was until the sixth boom. The sword could only break through up to six barriers, leaving the last barrier cracked.

That caused chaos in the city as the ground shook, the booming sound made the citizens realize that the city was under attack. A few seconds later, the last barrier broke apart. The seven Demi-God Ranks let out a sigh of relief that the seven barrier was enough to stop the attack.

They realized that one person was capable of destroying the city. Not only that one person look stronger than Cardinal Carlos Artura, but the man had a technique that could endanger the whole city.

The seven figures flew to the sky together. They had the same thoughts, to kill the man. They could not let someone as dangerous as Tang Shaoyang escape. Because their enemy might come back stronger later.

The dust settled and Tang Shaoyang looked up at the seven figures. He breathed heavily and looked surprised while holding his chest. He looked like someone who had exhausted his energy in that one attack.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Carlos Artura also made his way out of the city. He was covered in blood, from his face to his body. His black fur was tainted with red blood. He was still holding the battle ax and the hammer. There was a big cut on his chest, but it slowly healed on its own.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and used [Blink] into the Orin Forest. His figure disappeared into the forest.

"Lead the adventurers and follow us, Carlos! We have to capture those traitors as well. We will chase while he's exhausted!" Vazha yelled before his figure disappeared into the forest along with the five Apostles.
