Chapter 1025: The Agent of Earth
Fang Mo's body trembled slightly.
At such a close distance, the pressure emanating from this man caused every hair on Fang Mo's body to stand on end. An unprecedented sense of life-and-death crisis surged through his heart.
He had never encountered such a powerful aura.
So far, besides his master and others, the most powerful being he had ever seen was the Pen Fairy at the "Klein" level in Shangjing City. But compared to the man before him now, that Pen Fairy's aura was pathetically weak.
The same "Klein" level, yet the gap was this vast?
Instinct told him to retreat, but at that moment, a powerful domain pressure pressed down on his shoulders, pinning him死死地 in place, not allowing him to move even a fraction.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped from his forehead, quickly freezing into frost. He stared intently at the man before him, the muscles in his legs tensed, using all his strength just to keep himself from falling to his knees.
Though he was a divine agent, he was ultimately still a fledgling whose wings hadn't fully developed. At the "Pool" realm, he had no chance against a "Klein" level divine agent.
"Say, I've never killed a Great Xia divine agent before." The man's eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his right hand, casually pointing toward Fang Mo's brow, and sneered, "If I kill you, the God of Great Xia should be quite angry, no?"
Fang Mo's pupils contracted sharply.
Swoosh—!
A blade of sword light whistled through the wind and snow, precisely cutting toward the man's wrist. The latter's eyes narrowed, and his body rapidly retreated half a step.
But his speed was still a step too slow.
The sharp sword tip grazed the man's palm, slicing out a blood-soaked wound. The tail of that sword beam, stained with漆黑的夜色, flew in a half-circle through the air and hovered midair.
Drops of blood dripped from the blade, and bloody flowers bloomed in the white snow below.
Above the sword hilt, the dawn's first light was rapidly dimming.
Night fell.
The life-and-death crisis resolved. Fang Mo lost his momentum and staggered backward, taking half a step before collapsing to the ground.
"This is..." He looked up at the sky, murmuring to himself.
Pure darkness spread across the sky, like a ferocious beast savagely devouring the nascent morning sun, instantly shrouding all light.
The moment night fell, Fang Mo's heart calmed. His tense muscles relaxed slightly, and a smile of survival flickered across his pale lips.
That person had arrived... Today, he wouldn't die.
"Hmm?"
The man first glanced at his palm that couldn't heal, then raised his head, gazing at this suddenly appearing night curtain, his face showing a hint of surprise.
"The first killing divine artifact of Takamagahara according to legend, and the power of the Goddess of Night... Another agent?"
He seemed to sense something and turned to look at the void ahead.
Beneath the pitch-black night curtain, a deep crimson figure flickered into existence, standing silently in the wind and snow before the fallen Fang Mo.
"Fang Mo, go back first... With me here, no one can hurt you."
He raised his right hand, resting it on the hilt of the snow-white blade at his waist. In the dim world, a pair of enraged golden eyes燃起 like a molten furnace, and a chilling killing intent swept outward!
Fang Mo gritted his teeth and, without the slightest hesitation, climbed up from the ground and quickly ran toward the distance.
He knew very well in his heart that with his realm, staying on the battlefield would only burden Lin Qiye. Even a slight bit of battle aftermath could send him to perdition.
"Wearing the aura of the Goddess of Night, but those eyes..." The man didn't even glance at the departing Fang Mo. Instead, he looked at Lin Qiye's flickering golden eyes, his face full of confusion. "Michael? Are you an agent of the Goddess of Night, or an agent of the Seraph?"
Two completely different divine auras, appearing simultaneously in one person. Although Andre had been walking in the mist for years as an agent of the Earth Goddess Gaia, he had never encountered such a situation.
Through the translation magic left by Merlin, Lin Qiye could clearly understand Andre's meaning.
But he had no intention of answering.
Clang—!
A crisp blade cry rang out. The edge of 【White Slash】 instantly tore through the cold air, and a blade light ignored space, directly slashing toward Andre's throat.
He didn't need to know the other party's identity, nor their motives. He only knew that if he had arrived even a moment slower, Fang Mo would already be a corpse now...
Whoever dares kill his soldier, he will kill.
Although the new recruits had all passed the Cliff of Despair, they hadn't yet left Lin Qiye's spiritual感知范围. The moment Fang Mo voluntarily deviated from the route and came here, Lin Qiye had been paying special attention to his movements.
And the instant Andre appeared within his spiritual感知, Lin Qiye had sent a signal to the others via radio, then rushed over at the fastest speed possible.
The凌厉 blade light abruptly appeared before Andre. The latter seemed to have never expected this blade to possess the ability to penetrate space. At the critical moment, he forcibly twisted his body, allowing this strike to narrowly avoid his throat's vital point, instead firmly landing on his chest.
A ferocious scar ran from his shoulder all the way to the opposite side of his abdomen. Although it appeared serious, it failed to inflict a fatal wound.
"A sword that can cut anything, and a blade that ignores space?" Andre quickly deduced the abilities of that snow-white long blade, his expression turning gloomy.
Lin Qiye's surprise attack had indeed caught him off guard, but this didn't mean he would fear Lin Qiye. Even a "Nothingness" realm divine agent, armed with two troublesome weapons, posed no fatal threat to him.
Andre raised his right hand and casually beckoned toward the sky. The ground within a two-kilometer radius suddenly shook violently. Several岩土之蛇 covered in white snow raised their heads high, consecutively crashing toward Lin Qiye standing at the center.
Lin Qiye gripped White Slash and activated 【Night Flash】. His身形 rapidly vanished from the spot.
"Ridiculous."
Andre sensed the faint spatial fluctuation and sneered. He slowly closed his eyes and stamped his right foot heavily on the ground!
The next moment, a enormous eye suddenly opened wide from the cracks in the fragmented earth beneath his feet. Within the black sclera, a crimson pupil spun rapidly, quickly locking onto a certain patch of emptiness.
That giant eye's pupil slightly contracted.
Bang—!
A dull impact sound rang out. Lin Qiye's figure was forcibly shaken out of space and fell from high altitude.
He endured the sharp pain in his chest, adjusted his body, and like a light swan, stepped on the head of one岩土之蛇, retreating onto a fragment of残缺的巨石.
His expression was extremely grave.
