Armipotent



Everything made sense even though Captain Brond tried to portray himself as a coward. The Captain easily got scared and fell when Greed suddenly appeared out of nowhere. However, it did not make sense for someone to be promoted to Captain if he was scared just because he was surrounded by the enemy, not even fighting back. That was such an obvious lie. If Captain Brond was just a normal soldier, Tang Shaoyang might be less suspicious.

"Does that mean General Muril is part of your group as well?" Tang Shaoyang asked, curious if everything was planned by General Muril. General Muril was the person who recommended Captain Brond to be their guide. Everything could be planned by that one person.

"Don't hold back! We must go all out if we want to capture them!" Captain Brond stood up, pointing his sword at Tang Shaoyang. The sudden command caused confusion for a moment because these people did not get to witness Tang Shaoyang's group kill the demon and beastmen's army.

However, it was too late because Rosalie increased the gravity around them. It was so easy because they clumped in one spot. All thirty-one people fell flat to the ground with some of them held up on their knees. Then the shadow flashed toward the group. Just like a sword, the shadow cut through their necks with some of them having their bodies split up.

Lu An did not waste the golden chance presented before him, killing at least twenty people in the blink of an eye. Two people used their bloodline transformation, trying to get away from the gravity field. Marco was one of them as his skin turned green, his height doubled, and his hair turned gray. He had the resemblance of a troll with tusks protruding out of his mouth. The other one was covered in brown fur as his body also got bigger. This one had a resemblance to the bear.

"Leave the ones with bloodline and Brond alive, Lu An," Tang Shaoyang was afraid that Lu An would kill them all. He needed them alive to get more information from them to decide his next plan. To be exact, he needed to know what these people had planned. This should be not the only thing they thought of.

Lu An was about to kill the remaining people, but then Greed came out of the shadows with its big maw. He swallowed at least five people, eaten alive by the Dark Predator. Lu An changed his target to the other three people he could kill, but then a giant maw popped out from the shadow, sweeping the remaining three into the maw. Then Greed returned to Tang Shaoyang's shoulder, sitting there, licking his paw.

Captain Brond watched everything in terror. He could not really see how the three took down the army, but now he could picture how over a thousand army was destroyed. His legs went weak, scared for real this time. It was not an act to deceive Tang Shaoyang, but genuinely scared that his friends died like that before his eyes.

The two Ancient Ranks could not get out of the gravity field because the gravity field followed them. Rosalie had good control of the two in the Bloodline Transformation. It was not that hard when she had unlimited mana, so she did not need to converse her mana, at all.

Tang Shaoyang raised his hands, warming up his fingers. He then raised his hand at Rosalie, signaling her to free the two. He wanted to have a fight with no help, trying his Nine Heavenly Gates. The First Heavenly Gate was to build up his foundation and body to use Heavenly Energy. The Second Heavenly Gate increased his control over the Heavenly Energy, making the energy purer, and expanded his Dantian further. The Third Heavenly Gate was where he started to learn a new technique.

The third gate was called Heavenly Steps, and there were three movement techniques included. First, Heavenly Stride. Second, Heavenly Illusionary. Third, Heavenly Ethereal Shift.

The two were bewildered that they were suddenly freed from the gravity field that restricted their movement. The two exchanged glances and had a tacit understanding, fighting Tang Shaoyang if escape was impossible. Totally different from Captain Brond who had given up.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang used Heavenly Ethereal Shift. It was similar movement as a blink but superior to a normal blink as the technique left an afterimage behind. In Marco's eyes, Tang Shaoyang was still standing on the same spot but in fact, Tang Shaoyang was already in front of his friend.

The fourth Heavenly Gate - Heavenly Force. The first technique was Heavenly Crushing Strike. It was a punch that contained unimaginable power. The second technique was Heaven Shattering Palm, and the third technique was Heavenly Crushing Grasp.

Tang Shaoyang executed the second technique, Heaven Shattering Palm. Sending his palm to the man's chest. His hand movement was refined. It looked slow, but it was actually very fast and the man could only watch the golden palm projection hit his chest. The man's chest dented inwardly in the shape of a palm, sending the man flying as blood spurted out of his mouth.

Marco turned his head toward the scream and realized Tang Shaoyang already moved. The still-after image disappeared, and he saw Tang Shaoyang's back. He did not hesitate to rush at Tang Shaoyang who showed the back open for him. Just as he thought the broadsword in his hand was about to slice Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang's figure split up into ten. The ten Tang Shaoyang spread out, surrounding him as his sword cut past the illusion.

That was the Heavenly Illusionary technique, splitting into ten illusions, and he could switch his position with any illusion at any time. Tang Shaoyang then grabbed the confused Marco's shoulder from behind and used Heavenly Crushing Grasp. The flesh along with the bone was crushed by Tang Shaoyang's grasp and the blood sprayed from his grasp. The bone and the flesh mixed together in his palm, turning them into mush.

"ARGGGHHHHH!!!"

The dark and quiet forest was filled with Marco's screams. His enhanced body with the bloodline transformation was easily crushed by Tang Shaoyang who did not use his Bloodline Transformation. Everything was pure the work of Heavenly Energy.
