"bite!"
Wang Xiaohai's Sword of True Awareness and King Lorraine's Bone Sword collided with each other, and the entire surrounding space shook. The demonized King Lorraine flew backwards like a cannonball, heading straight to the ground, creating a dark deep pit.
"Bastard, if I hadn't been injured fighting the angel, how could you have defeated me so easily!" The demon king Lorraine flew out of the cave, shouting breathlessly, his chest heaving violently.
"Oh, even if you weren't injured, you wouldn't be my opponent." Wang Xiaohai's body floated in the air. The strong wind blew, but he was as still as a nail. "If you hadn't threatened me with your daughter, you would have died long ago!"
"I do not understand what you are talking about!" said the King of Lorraine. "I have never had a daughter."
Wang Xiaohai thought that this guy really didn't recognize his family after becoming a demon, and probably wanted to sever his relationship with humans.
"Shanshan, do you know what happened to Deli? Why did she disappear?" Wang Xiaohai asked the Shanwei beast lying on the ground.
"What's that, Deli?" Yamaomon said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"It's the woman who came here with us. She has been standing at the corner of your forehead." Wang Xiaohai said.
"Have you been cursed by the devil and are hallucinating?" Although Yamaomon was weak, his voice was still as resounding as the drums of a battlefield. "I only brought you and Pope Ding Wen with me. There was no one else!"
"Then why are we going to Lorraine?" Wang Xiaohai remembered that it was Deli who asked them to go and rescue her relatives and family.
"Because you want to investigate the mutation incident in Lorraine." said Yamabimon.
"This... your memory has been tampered with - that's not right!" Wang Xiaohai remembered that he seemed to have experienced this situation before - Tang Qian!
He felt a huge conspiracy looming, but the conspiracy could not target him, only the people around him! No, he must improve his strength as soon as possible, Wang Xiaohai secretly swore in his heart.
"Wang Xiaohai, have you been struck by a demonic spell?" Yamabimon said, "It's a pity that I'm completely powerless now and can't help you fight."
"It's okay. The Demon King Lorraine has been defeated. He no longer has the strength to fight." Wang Xiaohai raised the Sword of True Awareness, pointed it downwards, and the martial energy condensed at the tip of the sword.
At this moment——
The temple complex next to it lit up with countless colorful lights, and a huge formation enveloped the entire temple complex. Countless white lights emerged from the formation, and the white light slowly faded away. Angels with holy swords appeared and flew out one after another, surrounding Wang Xiaohai and the demon king Lorraine.
"What's going on?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Because Beibuzhou and the Northern Temple headquarters are connected by a teleportation array, what you are seeing now are the angels from the headquarters." Shanweimon explained.
"Why is there no teleportation array connecting to the previous Beixing Continent?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Those Savage Continents over there, which are exiles, don't have teleportation arrays connecting them to the Northern Headquarters," Shanwei Beast explained in a low voice. "Those are continents with low-level civilization and technology. They're where angels who offend the higher-ups are exiled. The higher-ups on Black and White Star would hate to see them, so how could they possibly build teleportation arrays for those continents? Furthermore, activating these long-distance intercontinental teleportation arrays requires a massive amount of energy crystals, equivalent to trillions of silver taels worth of crystals. They won't be activated unless it's a critical moment."
"Trillions?" Wang Xiaohai calculated in his mind. This was equivalent to the total treasury of thousands of countries. Although gold, silver and jewelry were dirt, the amount of dirt required for this long distance was too much!
"There really is a demon!" Several angels' faces changed drastically when they saw King Lorraine. Their Northern Temple headquarters had received a message from the angels from Beibu Continent that there was a demon attack. No one believed it at first, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they finally believed it.
When the number of angels that arrived reached thirty, the light of the teleportation array finally disappeared. Wang Xiaohai also noticed that there was a particularly tall angel that appeared at the end. When he appeared, the entire temple shook as if in tribute.
"Does a Demon King Lorraine, who hasn't completed his transformation, need so many angels?" Wang Xiaohai couldn't help but grumble. But then he thought—if a flying mutant could easily defeat a group of awakened knights, then at the same level, a demon should be able to easily defeat seven or eight angels, or even more. So, sending thirty angels over was probably a conservative estimate. He wondered what that particularly tall angel at the end was? It hadn't revealed its wings of light.
"Haha, you sub-god-level angels are really shameless. Are you planning to win by numbers?" The demon king Lorraine raised the bone sword tremblingly. His strength had just been exhausted, and the motivation supporting him now was the belief of not giving up.
But when you have no strength, faith is useless. King Lorraine was pierced through the body by the holy swords of five angels at the same time, and then his whole body was burning. The holy fire burned every demon cell and gene in his body. The smell like rotten eggs filled the air. All the angels held their breath to isolate themselves from the smell.
Soon, the demonized King Lorraine turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind. A black statue appeared where King Lorraine had been, shaking and falling from the sky.
An angel flapped its wings, intending to fly over and catch the falling demon statue—
A phantom giant hand flew towards the demon statue and grabbed it before the angel approached - it was Wang Xiaohai. He grabbed the demon statue with his bare hands without wearing any protection. A burning pain came from the palm of his hand, and he hurriedly put the demon statue into the ring.
"Awakened, give the demon statue back to me!" the angel said angrily, the holy sword shining with light, slowly turning towards Wang Xiaohai.
"This demon statue is not yours, why should I return it to you?" Wang Xiaohai was not afraid of these angels at all. It would be difficult for him to spit out the treasure he had obtained.
"Ignorant youngster, I'll let you feel the difference between a mortal and a sub-god!" The angel roared, slashing the air with his holy sword, slashing towards Wang Xiaohai with unparalleled momentum. "If you can withstand this blow, you'll be a formidable figure!"
The other angels were watching quietly from the side. In their opinion, when facing a mortal who had not yet entered the sub-god realm, no matter whether he was awakened or not, there was no need to join forces. Joining forces would be an insult to themselves!
The speed of the Holy Sword of Angels was so fast that it seemed to cut through space. Wave-like spatial ripples appeared around the sword body and it reached Wang Xiaohai's eyes in an instant.
At the moment when Wang Xiaohai was about to be hit, his body split into eight pieces. The holy sword fell and passed through his illusory body, and the attack missed!
The Sword of True Awareness accurately hit the connection between the angel's wings and the body. A huge amount of martial energy burst out. Wang Xiaohai's tiger's mouth shook violently, and the sword pressed down, cutting off the angel's wings!
He knew that most of the angel's power was hidden in its wings. This was the experience he gained from his last battle. If he couldn't break the opponent's wings quickly, he would enter a stalemate war of attrition.
"How is this possible!" All the angels watching the battle couldn't believe their eyes. They originally thought that even if they stood there and let the Awakened One chop them without taking any action, they wouldn't be hurt at all. But -
An angel's wings were cut off, which was beyond the expectations of all the demigod angels!
This is simply impossible. They think it is an illusion and that they saw it wrong!
