Chapter 83: Confrontation on the Stone Steps
"Crazy." Liz ignored what Zhou Wen said and waved to the inspector beside her to come over and arrest the seriously injured Zhou Wen.
She had already wasted too much time and was much later than planned. It was hard to say whether she could take Zhou Wen away before the An family arrived. She could not waste any more time.
Several inspectors rushed forward and went up further. The exposed part of the stone steps became wider and not as narrow as before, which was enough for them to rush forward.
But this time Zhou Wen did not escape immediately. He sat on the stone steps, stretched out his palm, and slowly slapped the inspector who was rushing in the front.
Zhou Wen's palm strike looked weak and powerless, as if it had no power at all. Moreover, after he struck out with this palm strike, it was still nearly two meters away from the inspector, and he couldn't even touch the corner of the inspector's clothes.
Liz and several inspectors naturally did not believe that Zhou Wen had the ability to hit people from a distance. The skill of being able to release vital energy is rare among the legendary level. It is impossible for a mortal level to practice such a skill. Even if there is such a vital energy skill, the vital energy of a mortal level is not enough to support the consumption of the vital energy skill.
But as Zhou Wen slapped out with his palm, the inspector fell to the ground silently, which scared everyone.
Zhou Wen's expression remained unchanged as he slapped the air several times in succession. The remaining inspectors suddenly fell to the ground one by one as if their souls were shattered.
Liz was shocked and horrified, and could hardly believe her eyes. Several legendary inspectors were obviously dead, and she had no idea how these people were killed by Zhou Wen. Her eyes flickered, and her heart was filled with fear and doubt. For a moment, she didn't dare to get close to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen knew very well in his heart that those people were not killed by him at all, but were killed by the mysterious power of the stone steps and the small Buddhist temple.
However, no one understood that mysterious power better than Zhou Wen. He simply calculated the death time of those inspectors and pretended to take action. It was a complete bluff.
What made Zhou Wen a little depressed was that Liz didn't seem to be affected by the power of the stone steps, otherwise she should have fallen dead on the stone steps by now.
"Strange, could it be that Liz possesses a similar energy skill to Xin Zen? Is that why she wasn't killed by that mysterious power? But that doesn't make sense. Even if she does have an energy skill similar to Xin Zen, she wouldn't have used it in advance if she didn't know the secret here... What's going on?"
Zhou Wen was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face. He still sat calmly on the stone steps, looking down at Liz and said, "I don't want to kill anyone, why do you force me to do that?"
Zhou Wen's words were half true and half false. If Liz hadn't forced him to do so, he would never want anyone to die, let alone the people from the Supervisory Bureau to die.
It is hard to say whether Zhou Wen will be able to explain this death clearly in the future, and he may even be wanted by the federal government.
Even so, Zhou Wen didn't want the secret of the mysterious phone to be exposed.
"At worst, I can just escape into other-dimensional realms that are beyond human control, just like those fugitives. As long as I have the mysterious cell phone, the dangers of other-dimensional realms will be non-existent to me." Zhou Wen made up his mind. If he was really desperate, he would just become a bandit.
"Stop playing tricks. Do you think you can fool me like this?" Liz didn't believe that Zhou Wen, a mortal student, could possess such terrifying power.
But she couldn't figure out how the four inspectors died for a moment, and she was a little hesitant and didn't dare to rush forward.
"If you don't believe me, you can come up and try to see if my Formless Divine Palm can kill you." Zhou Wen said expressionlessly, as if he was confident.
But Zhou Wen secretly groaned in his heart: "I've already delayed for so long. Without the protection of the Heart Zen, even if Liz was so strong, she should have died on the stone steps. How come she is not hurt at all?"
"What's the Formless Divine Palm? I've never heard of it." Liz kept looking at Zhou Wen and the four dead inspectors, trying to find any flaws and figure out how the four legendary inspectors died.
"The Formless Divine Palm is colorless and shadowless, and can kill people without them even being seen. This is the Qi skill Ouyang Lan gave me to save my life. I usually don't dare to use it easily. If you hadn't forced me into a desperate situation today, I wouldn't have used this extremely vicious Qi skill." Zhou Wen was talking nonsense, but he was actually thinking about how to escape.
Zhou Wen didn't think he could really scare Liz. The reason why Liz didn't dare to rush up was simply because she didn't know how her four colleagues died and didn't dare to take the risk.
Liz was skeptical about Zhou Wen's words. She really couldn't tell how the four inspectors died. They didn't seem to have any scars on their bodies.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Liz, and she remembered the restricted area sign she had seen earlier. She immediately realized something, and as she looked around, she sneered, "Then let me see how your Formless Divine Palm can kill me."
As she spoke, Liz summoned a companion pet.
With white wings, delicate skin, and a white gauze dress, it looks like an angel in myths and legends. However, it is different from the angels in myths and legends in one aspect: this angel-like companion pet has no head, and the part above the neck is empty.
"Headless angel!" Zhou Wen cried out when he saw the companion pet that looked like a headless angel.
The companion pet, the Headless Angel, is so famous. Although the Headless Angel is a companion pet from the Western District of the Federation, its name has spread throughout the Earth Federation.
The headless angel is not a real angel, but a character in Western legend.
Legend has it that there was a devout nun who believed in God with an extremely holy heart and looked forward to ascending to heaven one day to become an angel and serve God.
Everyone who has seen a nun thinks that she is the most holy and pure person in the world. Everyone who knows her firmly believes that after her death she will ascend to heaven and become an angel serving God.
Perhaps the nun's piety moved God, and one day God really came before the nun and sent down divine light, turning the nun's mortal body into an angel.
Just as the nun's body was transforming into that of an angel, she saw a prisoner being executed praying devoutly to God and repenting.
So the nun asked God, "Can the prisoner, who is so pious, be forgiven of his sins?"
God replied: "The prisoner's sin can be forgiven, but someone must bear the sin. If the nun is willing, she can go to the guillotine in place of the prisoner and bear his sin."
After hearing this, the nun resolutely chose to bear the prisoner's sins on his behalf. Then, with a flash of divine light, the prisoner on the guillotine was replaced by the nun who was about to transform into an angel. The nun's head was chopped off before she could transform into an angelic body.
Although her head was cut off, the rest of the nun's body had transformed into an angel's body, making her immortal. She did not die because of her head being cut off.
However, the head had not yet turned into an angel and could never be restored, so the nun became the headless angel in Western mythology.
Although the name is scary, the Headless Angel is synonymous with holiness in the West District.
After the dimensional storm came, a headless angel creature appeared in an dimensional area in the West District. It was later killed by humans and its companion egg was obtained.
The epic headless angel has since become famous in the Earth Federation. Her greatest strength is not her combat ability, but her powerful protective power.
Guarded by the headless angel, all kinds of curses, blood curses and other evil forces cannot harm her master. She is the most powerful guardian companion pet known in the West.
The master of the Headless Angel relies on the Headless Angel's protective ability to explore many mysterious and dangerous extra-dimensional areas that are regarded as forbidden areas by humans. He is able to turn danger into safety and return safely every time.
Therefore, the reputation of the Headless Angel is getting bigger and bigger. However, as far as Zhou Wen knows, the companion pet of the Headless Angel seems to be unique, and the owner of the Headless Angel is not Liz.
