Chapter 0119: Collect Some Interest First!

Centered around Blair, the five others formed a pentagonal formation. The surging light energy within it intensified rapidly, spreading across hundreds of feet in the valley space in an instant. A pentagonal beam of light flashed, followed by six winged angels who spread their wings and took to the air, their light becoming even more dazzling.

When Gusta and his battle pet, the fat lion, tried to attack, they were forced to retreat by the overwhelming light energy. All six winged angels possessed cultivation at the intermediate level or above of the Sacred Realm, especially Blair at the advanced level. Combined with the angel formation, their combined strength meant the next strike would be unimaginably powerful.

Over twenty years ago, Gusta had already faced them before and experienced the might of their angel formation. It was because of that formation that he had been defeated and forced into exile. He never expected that after hiding in this Death Valley for over twenty years, they would still find him. Damn it! The Light Church and these bastards truly never give up! Gusta cursed inwardly.

Would he have to flee again?

Through Gusta’s efforts over the past twenty years, the Death Valley had changed drastically. He even considered it a place to retire in the future. The thought of having to flee in disgrace and abandon this place filled him with uncontrollable anger. Hadn’t he just killed two of their knight league leaders back then? Was it really necessary to pursue him relentlessly?

As Gusta retreated, the enemy’s angel formation was completed. Blair soared up from the formation, with the surging light energy continuously gathering around him.

“Old fool, die!” Blair shouted, swinging his angel sword downward with force.

“Angel’s Pulse of Light!”

A massive beam of light sword energy streaked hundreds of feet, heading straight for Gusta. The entire valley trembled under its intensity, as bright as the sun. Even as it struck, the blinding sword beam caused the air currents in the valley to pulse—yes, pulse, as if all the air currents in the valley were beating in rhythm with the beam.

As the beam slashed downward, the air currents continued to pulse. Gusta fearfully felt his own heart beating uncontrollably. Just as his heart rate accelerated, the beam struck.

At that moment, Gusta and his battle pet, the fat lion, roared and attacked. Gusta’s entire body was enveloped in necrotic demonic energy.

“Pool of Demonic Spirits!”

Gusta’s necrotic demonic energy surged, combining in a strange way to form a swamp-like entity. The swamp expanded instantly.

In an instant, the necrotic aura within a hundred feet around Gusta turned into a swamp of the dead. The fat lion took a more aggressive stance, leaping into the air with a roar. From its eyes, two black columns shot forth. Wherever these columns passed, the necrotic aura surged forward, piercing through the air currents and heading straight for Blair at the center of the Angel Formation. However, as the fat lion moved, its massive fat shook violently, looking somewhat comical. The sword light sliced through the swamp of the dead around Gusta! Although the speed of the sword was significantly reduced, it still managed to cut through. In that instant, Gusta darted away, and the sword light passed where he had stood before. With a hiss, the sword light created a path of destruction before slashing straight into a mountain hundreds of feet behind, causing it to split instantly. There was little noise when the mountain split, as if a sharp blade had cut through tofu. The pulsating air currents in the valley continued to shake, using terrifying force to scatter, crush, and flatten everything in their path. Many stones lifted from the ground instantly turned into dust and drifted downward. After that strike, Blair saw the fat lion charging at him and sneered, “You fat cat, seeking death!” Then, he swung his Angel Sword again, slashing down at the fat lion. The fat lion, terrified by the sudden sword light, quickly dodged back step by step. When the fat lion’s attack reached Blair, a pentagonal array of light appeared around him, blocking the attack. In the past, Blair would never have dared to withstand such an attack alone; his strength was barely on par with that of the fat lion. But now, with the Angel Formation in place, it was different. The power of the pentagonal array came from six people combining their strength, easily blocking the fat lion’s attack. This single strike showed that Gusta’s side was at a disadvantage. After his own attack, Gusta’s expression changed. It had been over twenty years, yet the power of the opponent’s Angel Formation had grown so much! He had also improved significantly over those years. He had thought that with his battle pet Fei, he could deal with the Angel Formation—either gain the upper hand or at least draw a tie. But he never expected such an outcome. “Hehe, Old Guy, surprised?” Blair didn’t pursue further. Seeing Gusta’s shocked expression, he smiled triumphantly.

“This Angel Formation has been modified by our Holy Church after extensive research—its power is far beyond anything before!” Blair laughed sneerily.
“Damn you, you bastard!” Gusta snapped angrily, “Blair, don’t think you’ve won just because of that!”
“I’m leaving now—let’s see what you can do to stop me!” With that, Gusta’s body was enveloped in necrotic energy, causing him to swell like an inflated black ball as he shot forward at lightning speed!
And that fat lion was even more astonishing—its entire body curled into a dark mass, following Gusta as it flew away.
Borg and Nat, who were hiding in mid-air with the Yellow Dragon, watched in shock. They had seen people flee before, but never in such a dramatic manner!
Rolling away?! Yes, it was literally rolling away like hell?!
Seeing this, Blair showed no sign of urgency instead mocking, “Fleeing? Old man, I don’t see you going anywhere!” With that, he raised his Angel Sword and slashed through the air. Instantly, the air currents in the valley began to surge, forming an invisible barrier at the exit, blocking Gusta and the fat lion right away.
This invisible barrier had immense elasticity. Gusta and his pet lion, caught off guard, felt as if their insides were being tossed around violently.
Gusta, knocked back to his original spot, looked grim.
“Strange, right? I forgot to mention—this is the true power of the modified Angel Formation. How about that? Impressive, huh?” Blair waved his Angel Sword and laughed, “All these years, we’ve been working on ways to prevent sinners like you from escaping.”
“Unfortunately for you, we’ve succeeded now!”
Gusta stared at the invisible barrier, his expression shifting between anger and confusion. What the other party said was true—the barrier was extremely powerful. Could he really not escape now? Would his life end here?
“I told you earlier to stop wasting your effort. And don’t even hope that anyone will come to save you now,” Blair said calmly, snapping his fingers. “Besides, no one would dare take you away from our Holy Church.”
But just as Blair finished speaking, a faint voice rang out from nowhere in the valley: “Is that so?”
Everyone in the valley was stunned.
Blair turned sharply and shouted, “Who’s there? Show yourself, you sneaky wretch!”
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp “snap,” and an invisible hand pulled him sideways, flipping his face away.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden slap and speechless.
How could someone slap Blair through the Angel Formation?!
Gusta, who had suffered greatly under the Angel Formation, was even more astonished.
Then, under the puzzled gazes of Gusta and the others, a young man appeared in mid-air on a cow, with a orc and an old man standing on either side of him.
Blair turned his head in anger after being slapped on the side, but when he saw what was happening, his furious expression gradually softened.
“Sacred Dark Magical Beast, Sky Blue Python Ox!”
The massive figure of the Sky Blue Python Ox blocked the sunlight above the valley, darkening it considerably.
The air currents in the valley pulsed incessantly, but when they reached the area around the Sky Blue Python Ox, they were blocked by an invisible force.
Blair’s expression changed.
He couldn’t help but look at the Yellow Dragon.
He couldn’t penetrate the aura surrounding this young man.
But he had an intuition—that this young man was extremely strong!
Since when had such a young powerhouse appeared on the Hengyuan Continent?!
Like Blair’s six angels, Gusta was also shocked by the Yellow Dragon’s youth.
“Who are you? The Holy Church is here to capture criminals. Please do not interfere,” Blair said, trying to keep his tone calm, seemingly having forgotten about the slap earlier.
After over twenty years of pursuit, he had finally found Gusta, and Blair didn’t want any mistakes at this critical moment.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be so “kind.”
“The Holy Church?” the Yellow Dragon replied indifferently, looking down on them.
“I’m exactly here for your Holy Church!” At that moment, the Yellow Dragon’s aura surged, causing the pulsing air currents in the valley to stall.
Who would have thought he’d encounter members of the Holy Church here? Since he had, he would first collect some “interest” from them!
A cold glint flashed in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes.
Blair’s six angels felt a shock and their expressions changed—they hadn’t expected the opponent to have a grudge against the Holy Church!
Gusta, on the other hand, broke into a bright smile and couldn’t help but laugh loudly. His fat face tightened, reducing his already small eyes to mere slits.
Blair’s face darkened as he swung his Angel Sword, pointing at the Yellow Dragon. “If that’s the case, let’s deal with you all together!” With that, a white light enveloped his body, and the glow of his Angel Sword flickered.
“Angel·Light of Judgment!”
Blair swung his sword downward violently, and a dazzling pentagonal light burst from the sword, identical to the light from the Angel Formation.
The Yellow Dragon sneered and took to the air.
