Chapter 018: Divine Messenger

“Haha, Fischer, you finally told the truth, didn’t you?” Hearing Fischer’s words, Du Fan suddenly burst into a desolate laugh.
Anyone in such a situation would be utterly heartbroken—facing the enemy who killed their parents and even saying words that condemned them to death. Du Fan’s mood was now a mix of rage and despair.
“Du Fan, haven’t you heard the saying, ‘If the ruler demands the death of his subject, the subject has no choice but to die’?” Fischer suddenly said.
“I don’t care about your nonsense! All I know is that since you killed my parents, you must pay with your own life! No matter what kind of ruler or emperor you are!” Du Fan shouted.
After saying this, Du Fan’s eyes widened, his killing intent intensifying as he pointed his Thunder Sword at Fischer!
Soon, nine consecutive stars the size of human faces flashed away one after another!
Targeting Fischer directly, it was the Nine Stars in a Row technique!
“Not bad, Du Fan. You’ve learned this move from the Green family too,” Fischer said gravely upon seeing Du Fan use the Nine Stars in a Row.
As these words were spoken, the long-accumulated energy radiated from Fischer’s hands. With a few swift movements of his hands, a huge hexagram appeared.
From within the hexagram, angels wielding long swords flew out!
Each angel confronted a star and collided with it head-on. Soon, the nine stars were reduced to wisps of smoke under the impact of the angels and vanished!
At that moment, two angels remained. Seeing no target left to attack, they moved swiftly, charging at Du Fan from left and right!
By the time Du Fan saw the angels and stars perish together, he had already activated the True Eye. Those that emerged from the hexagram were energy-based angels, devoid of true life.
Seeing the two energy angels charging at him, Du Fan immediately soared into the air. The two angels collided, and since they were controlled by Fischer, he couldn’t manage so many at once with precision. Soon, they crashed into each other and disappeared as clouds of smoke.
Just as Du Fan took off, the clouds in the sky suddenly churned! They seemed to be slowly dyed golden by some golden dye, layer after layer forming golden clouds!
The golden clouds kept rolling, like a pot of boiling golden liquid!

Amidst the swirling golden clouds, a man wearing a golden crown and dressed in white suddenly appeared.
“Who is it that calls upon this god?” the man immediately spoke to those below after emerging from the golden clouds.
His voice carried a strange radiance! All over the battlefield, with its hundreds of thousands of people, everyone could hear his voice clearly, as if it were ringing in their own ears, no matter where they were.
“Believers of the next Light God, please ask your god for help in eliminating the heretic!” The archbishop in red, whose beard and hair were completely white, quickly spoke upon hearing this.
“Oh, where is that heretic?” the man promptly replied.
“May I ask which god of the Light faction you are?” the archbishop in red asked again.
“Enough chatter! You should know that I can only exist for five minutes in this era! If you want me to spend all five minutes answering your questions, then go ahead and ask! My name is Alaswan! One of the twenty-four divine messengers of the Light God Temple!” the deity named Alaswan said angrily.
“Respected Divine Messenger Alaswan, the heretic is over there,” the archbishop in red said, pointing at Du Fan.
“That’s the heretic. It seems fighting him is inevitable,” Alaswan muttered after looking at Du Fan.
The extremely pure aura emanating from Du Fan’s entire body made it impossible to consider him a heretic, no matter how you looked at it!
“Old man, are you sure he’s a heretic?” Alaswan asked doubtfully, looking at the archbishop in red.
“Yes, Divine Messenger Alaswan. That man’s name is Du Fan, and he is indeed a heretic! Tens of thousands of Light God believers have died at his hands!” the archbishop in red hurriedly replied.
“Regardless of whether he is or not, since you summoned me from the divine realm, by rule, I must do something for you,” Alaswan said softly.
After saying this, one of the twenty-four divine messengers of the Light God immediately flew downward, stretched out his pale hand, and slammed it at Du Fan!
Just as this messenger named Alaswan struck Du Fan with his palm, a suffocating pressure spread out.

From the attacking aura of this divine messenger, Du Fan could clearly sense that the energy emanating from him was on par with that of the Yang God back then! The Yang God was a mid-tier god! In other words, the one attacking him right now was a mid-tier god! After assessing Alaswan’s strength, Du Fan didn’t even consider fighting head-on. With a flash of light, Du Fan vanished instantly—it seemed he was ready to use spatial teleportation to escape right away. Just as Alaswan’s palm was about to strike Du Fan, Du Fan disappeared abruptly. “Not bad!” Alaswan smiled at Du Fan, who had suddenly vanished. “But will such tricks work against me?” As he spoke, Alaswan smiled again, turned lightly, and, under everyone’s gaze, moved to a different position before slapping at a void! Watching Alaswan strike at the void, the people below showed puzzled expressions. Amidst these reactions, an unimaginable scene unfolded. Just as everyone thought Alaswan’s attack had been futile, Du Fan mysteriously reappeared from the exact spot Alaswan had struck. Alaswan’s palm slammed straight into Du Fan’s head! It was as if Du Fan had deliberately stretched out his head for Alaswan to hit him—almost as if they were rehearsing a play, with Du Fan precisely positioning his head under Alaswan’s palm! With a loud thud, Du Fan was sent flying by Alaswan’s strike! The moment Alaswan’s palm hit Du Fan’s head, a white glow appeared on it. The Absolute Protection Field had activated! Although knocked away, Du Fan suddenly turned around more than 200 meters away and flew straight back into the air. “Strange, really strange. This kid has two fields, and both are quite impressive. If not for us summoning him to this realm, I honestly wouldn’t have the heart to kill you,” Alaswan said with a smile. “With such fields, once he becomes a god, his strength will be extraordinary! If we can win him over now and have him join our Light faction, we’ll gain another promising recruit,” Alaswan said, shaking his head and sighing.

Just as Alaswan let out such a sigh, he quickly stepped forward and punched Du Fan in the chest. With this punch, Alaswan struck from below upward, sending Du Fan flying straight up into the sky! “Du Fan!” Nayixiu inside the Green Shuttle shouted loudly. Seeing Du Fan in such a state, Nayixiu could no longer hold back. Donning her Elf King set, she drew her bow and quickly produced a strange, red-and-green long arrow in her hand. Alaswan, who was about to continue chasing Du Fan, suddenly felt a surge of fear! He quickly turned around to see Nayixiu aiming the Eternal Bow at him! “It seems to be an aura of destruction!” That was Alaswan’s first impression! But there was not only an aura of destruction—there was also a strong aura of life force! These opposing forces of life and death were strangely intertwined, forming the strange red-and-green long arrow in Nayixiu’s hand. As Alaswan was puzzled, the arrow in Nayixiu’s hand was shot fiercely at him! “I’ll see just how powerful this force from the lower world can be!” Alaswan roared, but instead of retreating, he charged forward. At the same time, Alaswan held a golden ball in his hand as if it were a shiny ball, and he used that golden sphere to meet Nayixiu’s arrow. Soon, the golden ball and the arrow came into contact, and the arrow disappeared into the ball. Strangely, although the arrow was about two feet long, the golden ball in Alaswan’s hand was only about fifteen centimeters in diameter, yet the arrow disappeared into it without penetrating at all. It seemed as if there was another space inside that golden ball—once the arrow entered, it never came out. In an instant, the entire arrow vanished, entering the interior of the golden ball. When Alaswan felt that the arrow had completely disappeared inside, he could no longer suppress the wildly chaotic aura inside the ball! Just as Alaswan was about to throw away the golden ball, it suddenly exploded! Immediately, a gray cloud, mixed with golden fragments, began to expand rapidly. This expanding gray cloud swallowed Alaswan whole! Suddenly, a roar came from within the gray cloud.

Hearing this roar, Naixiu felt a chill in her heart. The arrow she had shot earlier had not killed this divine messenger named Alaswan! The gray clouds dispersed, and Alaswan’s hand, which had held the golden ball, was now covered in bloody mess! “Elf, how dare you harm me, harm the noble Alaswan!” Alaswan pointed at Naixiu and said fiercely. “Then today, let Alaswan show you what awaits those who harm a noble deity! I will trap your soul in the divine realm, seal it beneath Mount Pisi, and force you to suffer eternally in the flames of the netherworld!” Alaswan screamed. With that, he suddenly turned and rushed toward Naixiu! At the speed of a mid-tier deity, Naixiu had no time to react, let alone shoot another arrow!
