Armipotent-Novel

1040 Chapter 104A flood of lightning was the exact words to explain what happened in front of the gate. As the lightning ball exploded, more lightning came out, flooding out the area. The sizzling sound and the blinding light caught everyone off guard. Even the people inside the city’s barrier subconsciously took a few steps back, fearing the stray lightning that came toward them.

The flood of lightning lasted for thirty seconds before it died down, but the spark was still there, on the ground. The ten Executioner Knights were still standing in the same spot before the lightning ball exploded. The remnant of the lightning spark was still on their armor, and the culprit of the lightning flood was also still in the same spot.

The Executioner Knight released the smoke from the impact. They instantly stopped their attack and focused on their defense against the lightning. They underestimated the Ancient Rank from the lower world. That was why they boldly charged forward and surrounded Tang Shaoyang without caring about the lightning balls.

After a while, two Executioner Knights fell to the ground. The two fell to the ground and passed out after defending against the lightning. Three of them fell on their knees and exhausted their mana to dispel the lightning. The remaining three Myth Rank Executioner Knight was exhausted even though they managed to hold on.

Five Executioner Knights remained standing, remaining cautious against the man in front of them. While the Myth Rank Executioner had a hard time facing the trap, not with the Primordial Rank. The two Primordial Rank Executioner Knights were still fine after the trap, but they were in a dilemma now. It was a dilemma whether to retreat or continue his duty to capture Tang Shaoyang.

They did not care about the Holy Knight, but the Executioner Knight was the force the Divine Church could not afford to lose. The time Divine Church to nurture one Executioner was so long; it was about the time, not the resources. They had enough resources to create thousands of Executioner Knights, but they did not have the time.

While the Primordial Rank Executioner Knights hesitated, Tang Shaoyang did not intend to let the Divine Church leave like before. This was a war declaration to him, to the Tang Empire. There was no need for him to hesitate.

He took out the Titan Blade, and his figure blurred. He appeared before the kneeling Executioner Knight.

Swoosh!

.....

The blade went through the knight’s neck. The head flew into the air as blood gushed out from the neck like a fountain. He did not stop there as he went for another knight. However, he failed to get his second prey as the Primordial Rank Executioner Knight reacted to his attack. The knight blocked the Titan Blade with his black shield.

Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear. “You seem to care a lot more about your real subordinates than those holy knights.” He used his movement skill, [Mirage Stride]. His figure split into seven figures, and the seven figures went after seven different Executioner Knights. It caused confusion to the two Primordial Rank Executioner Knights who still could fight.

The two Primordial Rank knights thought Tang Shaoyang would go after the two unconscious Executioner Knights since the two were the easiest target. However, they misjudged the situation as Tang Shaoyang went after the Myth Rank knight who was still standing. The knight still could fight as they raised their shield toward the incoming Tang Shaoyang, but the knight could not defend against the incoming strike.

Tang Shaoyang used [Thousand Blast], sending a thousand blasts to the exhausted knight. The thousand booming sounds spread through the air while the ground shook from the impact. The dust rose from the ground, covering the fate of the knight.

“YOU COWARD! FIGHT ME!” The Primordial Rank Executioner Knight was angered, yelling at Tang Shaoyang.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang was not bothered with such a cheap provocation, not especially in a battle of life and death. There were two results in the battle, either die as a loser or live as the winner. There was no such a coward in the battle.

For the third, Tang Shaoyang used another different movement skill, [Blink]. This time he appeared behind the kneeling knight. He pushed the Titan Blade to the ground and reached the knight’s neck. He lifted the knight, showing it to the knights, not just the knights from the Divine Church but also to the other two factions that watched the fight from the city.

Tang Shaoyang slammed the knight to the ground and pinned the knight with his knees. With a crazed smile, he pulled the knight’s head with his two hands.

“GRARGGGGHHHH!!” He roared like a wild beast while pulling the head off from the body. Not only he pulled the head, but he also pulled the spine from the body. That was so brutal that even some people looked away from the battle.

Tang Shaoyang then kicked the head that was protected by the helmet toward the Primordial Rank knight. He was bathed in blood with a crazed smile on his face. “Are you angry? But why? If you want a fight, I’ll give you one!”

The two Primordial Rank knights were furious. They were about to charge at Tang Shaoyang together, but they heard screams from behind. They turned their heads and saw the dragon tribe girl massacring the Holy Knight. Avyn dove down, landing between the hundreds of Holy Knights. As she landed on the ground, the ice spread out, catching the knights’ feet. Following that, ice spikes formed out, piercing the knights that were trapped by the ice.

The ice tried to reach the city, but the barrier stopped the ice. However, the ice created an ice wall, blocking the city gate. That was Avyn’s aim, cutting the way for a retreat. She did not really care about the Holy Knights; her gaze was on the two Primordial Rank knights. The last Kankara’Xeo walked slowly between the Holy Knights; none of them dared to stop her.

“You have your own fun; I want to have fun too.” Avyn smiled; her gaze went straight to bloody Tang Shaoyang. She was asking her share to fight.

Tang Shaoyang stretched out. “It’s been a while since I have a strong opponent, so let me have one, and you have the other one. Deal?”

“Tch.” Avyn clicked her tongue, clearly unhappy with the share. “How about you have one, then I will have the remaining knights?” She was talking about the Myth Rank Executioner Knights who barely could fight.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders. “You have the deal. I just want one worthy opponent, so I don’t get rusty.”

Both did not lower their voice, so everyone heard what they talked about. It was a humiliation for the Divine Church. They were supposed to be the hunter, and Tang Shaoyang was the prey. However, things changed so fast now; Tang Shaoyang and the dragon girl were the hunters.

‘Time to swap. Thank you for sharing your new trap, Zowen.’ Tang Shaoyang changed his spirit integration. Since it was a one vs. one fight, he wanted a close combat battle. He did not underestimate the knight as the replacement was Zara, The Angel of Death, Grade SSS Spirit.

His eyes turned black, the two of them, while his hair grew longer and changed color into white. It was followed by eight pairs of angel wings sprouting on his back. His stats broke the limit into Myth Rank even though he was just Ancient Rank.

“You are not the only one with transformation skills!” The Primordial Rank knight used transformation skills. Similar angel wings grew on their back, but they only had two pairs of wings, and all of them were white, while Tang Shaoyang had black left wings and white right wings. Their eyes turned golden brilliance as the holy light surrounded them. The knight thought Tang Shaoyang used a transformation skill. ????n????????e????d.＆nbsp;????????????

Of course, there was an idle individual; that person was Avyn. She did not need not a transformation skill; she was born strong. While waiting for the knights to finish the transformation, she fought the Myth Rank Executioner Knights. It was not a fight, of course, but a one-sided massacre. The right word was harvest. By the time the Primordial Rank knight finished their transformation, Avyn was holding five decapitated heads.

“YOU!” The Primordial Rank Knight did not know what to say as he failed to protect his subordinates. He lost eight Executioner Knights just to hunt one person. The Divine Church suffered a massive loss, and if he failed to bring Tang Shaoyang, then there was only one fate waiting for him, an execution.

“Blame yourself for failing to protect your subordinates, and consider yourself lucky that I don’t attack you while you use transformation,” Avyn smirked as she threw the five heads into the air. “I waited for your transformation, so I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Whoosh!

Her figure disappeared and appeared again in front of one of the Primordial Rank knights. She purposely punched the shield, pushing the knight with her into the forest. Avyn and the knight disappeared into the forest, but then a giant ice crystal popped out from the middle of the forest. The ice crystal was a little bit taller than the city’s wall, which was around thirty meters tall.

Avyn brought her opponent somewhere else, leaving Tang Shaoyang alone with the remaining Executioner Knight.

“Shall we start?” Tang Shaoyang still had his crazed smile on his face, looking at his prey in front of him.

This angered the Executioner Knight. He was angered by everything that happened around him. The knight gathered the Holy Energy in his sword and charged toward Tang Shaoyang.
