Chapter 1611 Wuquan’s Killing Intent
Church.
“Charles, what have you done?”
Another figure wearing the same red and white armor strode quickly to Charles and shouted angrily, “Why did you bring those outsiders to the church? You almost woke up Lady Saint! Didn’t we agree to wait for her to awaken on her own?”
Judging from the patterns on the armor, this was also a Knight Commander of the [Holy Judgment Knights], of the same rank as Charles.
Charles’s face was extremely grim. He pushed away the questioning arm of this Knight Commander and said coldly, “You have no idea of their strength, Taylor. Do you think if I hadn’t brought them here, they wouldn’t have come anyway?
I could sense they were a group of desperate individuals, especially that smoking man. If I had refused them, they would have slaughtered the entire Knight Order! You fool!”
Knight Commander Taylor was momentarily stunned, then sneered: “You’ve really regressed, Charles. Just because of a few young people in their twenties, you were scared enough to invite them into the church? Where is your courage as a knight?
What happened to Knight Commander Charles who once dared to challenge the Divine Beast alone? Now you’ve become such a coward?”
Charles shook his head, “I only did what was most beneficial for the Knight Order.”
“Beneficial? You mean almost interrupting Lady Saint’s slumber?”
“We didn’t interrupt Lady Saint.” Charles paused for a moment. “We were about to leave… when Lady Saint suddenly released her power. I don’t know what she was thinking.”
“Hmph.” Taylor snorted coldly. “Where are they?”
“In the room by the Echo Gallery.”
Taylor turned and walked toward the other side of the church.
“One of them was accidentally injured by Lady Saint and is unconscious. The others are emotionally unstable. Don’t do anything stupid, Taylor,” Charles frowned and warned.
Taylor didn’t answer, just glanced at Charles before disappearing at the end of the corridor.
…
“How is Qiye?”
Shen Qingzhu stood in the Echo Gallery and frowned as he saw No. 27 walking out of the room.
“Don’t worry, he’s not injured,” No. 27 said. “He’s just fallen asleep.”
“Fallen asleep?” Confusion appeared on Shen Qingzhu’s face. “Is this also Chloe’s ability?”
“…I don’t know.”
Shen Qingzhu’s eyes narrowed, his expression somewhat unfriendly. “She was perfectly fine, why did she attack us?”
“This probably wasn’t an attack. If she really had killing intent, this church would have been reduced to ashes long ago. Besides, she wasn’t even awake. It seemed more like… um…” No. 27 thought for a long time but couldn’t find the right word.
“Sleepwalking?” Wu Quan added.
“Yes, something like sleepwalking,” No. 27 nodded.
As they were talking, a figure in armor slowly approached from the other end of the corridor. Wu Quan saw the armor and thought it was Charles, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was an unfamiliar Western face.
“So it’s you who disturbed Lady Saint’s slumber?” The figure walked up to the three and spoke coldly.
Shen Qingzhu frowned slightly, uncomfortable with the other’s tone. Just as he was about to say something, Wu Quan spoke first:
“We didn’t disturb her. She acted on her own.”
“Hmph, Lady Saint has been sleeping in the church for so long without any reaction. How is it that as soon as you appear, there’s such a commotion?” Taylor’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces. “You should leave. Lady Saint and the Knight Order do not welcome you.”
“Leave? The person hasn’t woken up yet. Where are we supposed to go?”
“That’s not my concern. Whether you carry him on your back or push him with something, you must leave this church immediately.” Taylor’s tone grew increasingly forceful.
A flash of killing intent appeared in Wu Quan’s eyes. Before he could act, Shen Qingzhu slowly stepped forward. He looked down at the man who was several centimeters shorter than him and said calmly, “What if we don’t leave?”
“If you don’t leave… don’t blame me.”
Taylor clenched his right fist, and half of his armor’s patterns gradually lit up. Wind sharp as blades swirled around him, howling as it struck toward Shen Qingzhu’s face!
Shen Qingzhu’s eyes narrowed slightly…
Just as Taylor’s right fist was about to land, an invisible force suddenly restrained his body. His armored right hand froze in mid-air, as if an invisible giant hand had firmly gripped his form.
“Are you… seeking death?!” Wu Quan’s eyes were unfathomably deep. He raised one hand and gently clenched it toward Taylor.
Crack—!!!
A piercing explosive sound rang out. The armor on Taylor’s right arm twisted violently. Even though the glowing patterns frantically whirled up cyclones, they still shattered inch by inch uncontrollably!
Taylor’s neck turned red from the strain. He gritted his teeth and channeled all his strength into his right arm. Their bodies, tempered by the Divine Beast’s blood, were far beyond what humans of the same level could compare to. Although the armor gradually shattered, his right arm was still inching forward bit by bit.
Wu Quan frowned. His [Emperor’s Dominion], used to control human bodies, had always been invincible, but under these knights’ special physique, it showed signs of being forcibly broken.
“Tch.” A flash of killing intent crossed Wu Quan’s face. He raised his other hand, pinching his thumb and index finger as if holding an invisible baton, and lightly traced the empty air in front of him.
Behind Taylor’s rigid body, a “mysterious” figure holding a giant axe rapidly took shape!
Whoosh—!
That ‘mysterious’ figure swung the giant axe, the sharp blade creating dazzling sparks on the armor’s surface, leaving a hideous bloody gash on Taylor’s back!
Taylor winced in pain, his right arm suddenly losing strength. His entire right arm twisted like a braided rope before violently exploding, splattering crimson blood all over the Echo Gallery floor. A shrill scream echoed throughout the church.
Having lost his right arm, Taylor retreated several steps, looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend how a child of that age could possess such terrifying power.
Was that legendary Great Xia really so powerful?
Wu Quan had no intention of letting Taylor off. He flicked his fingers, and the surrounding metal railings broke off at the roots, twisting in mid-air into countless sharp spiral spears that whistled down like raindrops toward Taylor’s face.
Taylor’s expression changed rapidly. He nimbly retreated backward, directly flashing outside the Echo Gallery. He stared at Shen Qingzhu and the others, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.
With his remaining hand, he pressed forcefully on the ground beneath his feet!
“You forced me to do this…”
