“This power… you’re no longer a quasi-legendary!”
Old man Zhou Chui was defeated in a single move. However, the one most shocked was not from Zhou’s family, but the nearby Gravediggers.
The giant bear-like man and his brother hurriedly kept a safe distance: “Have you obtained the power of a Saint?”
“Hehe… as for legendary sages, he’s already achieved that long ago!”
Chris coquettishly said with a pout: “It’s just that none of you asked…”
She spoke innocently, but sent chills down everyone’s spine.
Especially Basar, the priestess of the Goddess of the Night, who had already begun praying, hoping her deity would rescue her soul and keep it from being defiled by heretics.
“It’s all your fault! If not for you, how could we have fallen into such a desperate situation?”
After falling into complete despair, a young man from the Zhou family glared at Wu Ming and suddenly erupted.
Even Zhou Chui remained silent at this moment. Yingyue opened her mouth to speak but found herself powerless to argue.
Their companions, already caught in certain emotions, were clearly not in a state to easily regain their senses.
“Me?”
Wu Ming, hearing this, merely chuckled lightly: “Did I invite you to follow me?”
At this moment, he still felt somewhat surprised inside.
Certainly not because of the Gravediggers’ strength, but simply because after seeing the young man’s Black Serpent transformation, some memories inherited from the Infinite Serpent had surfaced.
“I have now completely absorbed everything from the Infinite Serpent, and within the Ouroboros organization, it seems status is proven by bloodline, which means…”
He looked at the arrogant Gravediggers opposite him, his expression quite intriguing.
If he displayed the aura he obtained from the Infinite Serpent, what expressions would these fellows show? Would they immediately kneel in submission or mistake him for their true god?
“Jie jie!”
At this moment, Chris let out an eerie laugh, as if having thought of a brilliant idea: “I’ve decided! How about you cut off his and that female priestess’s heads and give them to me? Then I might consider sparing you. What do you think?”
“Impossible!”
Yingyue refused without hesitation: “This is the temptation of an evil god; you…”
Unfortunately, she sadly realized that not only did her companions look conflicted and hopeful, but even Old Man Zhou Chui had a mysterious expression on his face.
Under the choice between life and death, even though they knew the other side might be lying and deceiving, many still felt tempted.
“I’ll count to three. If you still haven’t started by then, I’ll just have to take action myself… At that time, none of you will escape…”
Chris said with a sweet smile, yet her words were like the venom spewed from a cobra.
“Enough, Chris! The task given to us by Lord Black Serpent is to eliminate all threats without exception!”
The giant bear brothers finally couldn’t stand it anymore: “If you’re unwilling, then we’ll take care of it ourselves!”
Behind Basar was a complete church, and there was no shortage of legendary sages. If something went wrong, reinforcements would come at any moment!
“Wait! Lady Chris, I can act now! I’ll offer their heads to you!”
Under immense pressure, one member of Zhou’s family finally broke. His expression turned frenzied, a red glint appearing in his eyes, as he directly swung his steel blade toward Wu Ming and Basar.
“Stop!”
“Don’t harm the priestess of the true god!”
Yingyue and Zhou Chui spoke simultaneously, but their meanings were vastly different. She looked at Zhou Chui, who was holding his wound, eyes filled with disbelief.
“Fool!”
Wu Ming gave this suddenly traitorous comrade a contemptuous evaluation.
Zhi la!
At the same time, a streak of azure lightning bloomed in his hand, shooting straight at the Zhou family member who had attacked him, turning him into a charred corpse.
“When did I ever say I was a weakling?”
Wu Ming sneered.
At this moment, the entire scene fell into deathly silence.
Basar stared at everything in stunned silence. These Easterners had just turned on each other? And it seemed that this mysterious person, who hadn’t taken action all along, was actually the most profound and hidden figure.
“You…”
Yingyue looked at her now lifeless companion, her pretty face flushed with anger: “Even if he was at fault, how could you be so ruthless?”
“I’m strong, so retaliating is being ruthless? If I were weak and got killed, would that be deserved? Do you, Miss, plan to avenge me?”
Wu Ming asked with interest, his gaze shifting toward Zhou Chui, making the old fox immediately lower his head guiltily.
Just now, the old man himself had harbored the same thought, even allowing a family member to serve as a test stone.
“Grandmaster!”
At this moment, alarm bells rang in Zhou Chui’s mind: “This person is definitely not some reckless youth. Judging from that lightning technique just now, he controls it with ease, its power astonishing, achieved effortlessly. He must have the mastery of a Grandmaster!”
He now somewhat regretted not realizing the other’s strength from the beginning and foolishly attempting to play the role of the fisherman.
Reality had now given him a harsh lesson, making him realize how ridiculous his original plan had been.
Unfortunately, Wu Ming was not an easygoing person either.
“Just now… many of you had murderous intent towards me, right?”
He shrugged his shoulders: “As for anyone who dares to offend my authority, I will punish them!”
Zhi la!
As soon as he finished speaking, two arcs of electricity flew from Wu Ming’s palms, bouncing among the members of the Zhou family.
Zhou Chui quickly darted forward to stand in front of Wu Ming but was suddenly bitten on the neck by a lightning snake that had taken shape, causing his body to convulse as he fell to the ground, his life status unknown.
“Er… Mr. Wu Ming…”
Basar looked at the Zhou family members lying on the ground, half-dead or already lifeless, her face showing clear hesitation: “At this moment, we still face external threats. Such actions are indeed…”
After this round of lightning, except for Yingyue, no one from the Zhou family remained standing.
“My lightning technique completely traces their malicious intent in their hearts. The more malicious they are, the greater the damage they receive…”
Wu Ming explained calmly.
Those who were struck dead had harbored murderous intent toward him; thus, their deaths were well-deserved.
“As a Grandmaster, how can you abuse your abilities and recklessly take the lives of innocent people!”
The remaining Yingyue was furious beyond words.
“I am not the Easterner you imagine; those so-called conventions and values cannot constrain me at all!”
For someone with such conflicting moral views, Wu Ming was too lazy to say more, directly turning to face the Gravediggers opposite him: “Good! Gravediggers of the Ouroboros! You should know more about the Ouroboros, right?”
Even at level nine, one is only nearly omniscient and omnipotent; when faced with great beings deliberately concealing things, one can still be deceived.
Let alone Wu Ming was only at level eight now. Though he might have premonitions and could calculate roughly, he couldn’t possibly know every detail about the Ouroboros organization without key opportunities and information.
“Priestess Basar, please take care of this lady!”
Seeing that this woman named Yingyue, who was filled with a sense of justice, was ignoring the great enemy in front of her and rushing to confront him, Wu Ming immediately turned his hand, applying a spell of suppression onto Yingyue’s forehead, causing the priestess of Yin directly to lose consciousness.
“O-Okay!”
Basar hurriedly hugged Yingyue.
She had already realized that this mysterious Easterner was an utterly capricious being, and his power was terrifyingly formidable. A quasi-legendary opponent was like a toy in his hands, almost akin to the ancient liches or great mages rumored to rival gods.
“Legendary Saint?”
Opposite them, several Gravediggers of the Ouroboros looked serious as they watched this scene.
Chris licked her dagger, her face showing excitement: “Just thinking about being able to kill such a powerful sacrifice makes me unavoidably excited!”
“Be careful. This guy is no ordinary one!”
The bear-like brothers roared, their entire bodies exploding, transforming into two giant yellow serpents, as if their previous bodies were just shells for the serpent creatures.
The three giant serpents immediately surrounded Wu Ming.
After transforming into serpent creatures, these quasi-legendary Gravediggers, though perhaps not matching true legendary sages, were at least not far behind, especially in terms of vitality and defense, rivaling dragons!
However, seeing the three transform, Wu Ming’s expression became even stranger.
“Vile bloodline? Or perhaps just some failed experiments and their offspring?”
He raised his right hand, on which a wisp of black qi appeared, transforming into a layer of fine black scales, exuding an ancient and primordial aura, filled with the sense of infinity.
“This is…”
Perhaps Basar, an outsider, might not have felt anything, but the three giant serpents suddenly sensed an extremely terrifying presence, as if from their bloodline’s origin, abruptly appearing before them.
The enormous difference in hierarchy made them kneel immediately, their serpent heads deeply buried on the ground, not daring to make the slightest movement.
“The effect of the Infinite Scale is actually this good, just a wisp of aura released…”
Even though he had guessed beforehand, seeing this result still made Wu Ming nod involuntarily.
He easily stepped over the three giant serpents, now collapsed on the ground like boneless creatures, and approached Chris: “Repeat what you said earlier!”
“I… hehe… hehe…”
This woman, who had been so arrogant before, now trembled all over, her teeth chattering, unable to utter a complete sentence.
“This feeling… this feeling, compared to him, even Black Serpent is trash, not even worthy of carrying his shoes…”
Chris roared inside, but her body reacted most faithfully, directly kneeling down: “Oh great Lord, have you personally descended?”
“Take those three with you and follow me!”
Wu Ming made no comment, directly giving the order, leaving a stunned priestess Basar behind.
Heavens… could it be that I’ve been traveling all along with an evil god?
Looking at Chris and the others who dared not disobey in the slightest, Basar’s heart was in turmoil.
