Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 257 Angel
The man in black robe narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think you can impress me like this?"
"Just make your request," Xu Shen said.
The black-robed man sneered : "Do you know that your behavior offends me? As long as I want, I can deal with you at any time. Since you know that I am from the Moonlight Religion, do you know what kind of existence this religion is?"
"certainly."
Xu Shen looked at him quietly: "So what do you want to choose? Kill me? Then find another puppet? The current situation in Termite City does not have enough two-states to take charge. I'm afraid you will have to withdraw from here."
The man in black robe laughed and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, it's advice."
Xu Shen said: "Unless you think you will let the king come, but Termite City is in a sensitive period now. I believe the king's arrival will not be a good thing."
"Although what you said makes sense, I hate it most when people negotiate with me."
The man in black robe said coldly: "Especially the way you look like you have me in your hands. You are just a fool from Dicheng, don't be so arrogant..."
After saying that, he slowly walked towards Xu Shen.
Xu Shen sighed: "It seems you chose the wrong path."
The man in black robe didn't say anything else, but a dark light emanated from his body, with an alluring dark red hue in the black. This power gathered above his head like mist.
Gradually, pitch-black wings seemed to extend out from the mist, as if some indescribable existence had descended here.
"We serve the Goddess of Night and the Lord of the Void Moon. All fools who have not opened their eyes will receive the favor of our Lord!"
The man in black robes recited something in a low voice, but his eyes turned pure black.
Then, the wings in the black mist flapped and suddenly flew out. It turned out to be a humanoid creature made of flesh and blood.
The hideous face was wriggling like countless earthworms, with a collapsed sharp nozzle in the middle, and the ribs on the chest protruding and flapping like blades, just like a demon from hell.
It came roaring, holding a black long knife, and rushed towards Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was stunned. Is this the control system?
The ability to make the most of a small effort was suddenly released, and Xu Shen raised his hand and shot out strands of silk.
The sharp long knife suddenly fell, and the figure of the demon angel approached into a deep area. It seemed to sense something and let out a sharp and piercing scream.
The sound waves from this scream had extremely strong penetrating power, but as they advanced layer by layer within the field toward Xu Shen, they were weakened layer by layer, making Xu Shen feel only a little harsh.
If the ability is not weakened, one can imagine how much direct damage it will cause.
The chain accelerated and instantly pierced through the demon angel's body, entangled its wings, and pulled it down.
At the same time, several chains were released from Xu Shen's chest , extending like tentacles, instantly piercing through the demon angel's head, sinking into its nozzle, and tearing it from the back of the head.
Blood splattered on the ground like mist.
The chains all over Xu Shen's body were shaking. He looked past the struggling demon angel under his feet and looked at the man in black robe in front of him.
The black-robed man's eyes changed from indifference to shock and anger. He said in a low voice: "You are blaspheming!"
"No, you are blaspheming." Xu Shen said indifferently.
The black-robed man's eyes turned cold. "No wonder he was defeated by you. It's really rare to find someone like you among the two-states in the bottom city."
He is more difficult to deal with than you... Xu Shen's eyes were calm. If the man in black robe only had this much ability, then the Wood King had most likely hidden the full strength of his abilities in front of him.
"Maybe you can reconsider it." Xu Shen said, "I hope you can cherish this opportunity."
The black-robed man looked gloomy and was silent for a while before saying, "It's okay to promise you. I'll double the tribute. Can you do it?"
"Okay." Xu Shen agreed without bargaining.
The black-robed man snorted coldly and said, "Let go of the Angel of Night. If the goddess sees this, she will make sure you die without a burial place."
Xu Shen looked at the strange thing bound by his chains. How dare such a hideous monster call itself an angel?
He smiled and loosened the chain.
The black-robed man's lips moved slightly, as if he was communicating with some invisible existence. After a moment, the torn head of the Night Angel who was struggling to get up began to grow again.
The tentacles in its nozzle swayed, and it turned and flew back into the black mist above the black-robed man's head.
The black mist gradually shrank and faded back into the body of the man in black robe.
"I will come again next time. I will inform you before I come. For now, you can take his place. As for his affairs, I will help you deal with them."
The man in black robe said indifferently.
Xu Shen smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
The man in black robe snorted coldly, turned around and flew away into the night.
After he left, Xu Shen was about to turn around when he suddenly noticed that Maeve was standing in the place where the man in black robe had been before, and seemed to be staring at the black fog that he had summoned before.
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment. Maeve rarely showed interest in other things.
The abilities of that person just now...are they not comprehensive?
Xu Shen thought about it for a while, put the matter aside for the time being, turned around and saw two girls walking out of the woods behind him.
"You were able to get rid of him just now. If you let him go, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountain?" Xia Jingxiang said with some concern.
Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "It's not difficult to get rid of him, but there will be another one. What we need for now is peace. There is no need to conflict with the inner city."
Xia Jingxiang was stunned and said, "But if you kill that man, will he really be willing?"
"It's no use being unwilling, unless he sends a king..." Xu Shen smiled. If he sent a king, he believed that during this special period, the other party would think twice.
After all, a light-chasing party is not worth the king's effort.
Secondly, even if the king came to attack at night, Kuroxue's presence could help delay him.
Xu Shen was about to go back when he suddenly saw Lou Haiyin, who looked pale, beside him. She was looking in the same direction as Maeve.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shen asked.
Lou Haiyin came back to his senses, with a bit of fear in his eyes, but after seeing Xu Shen, the fear was slightly suppressed, and he said: "Just now, what that person released was very evil!"
"You can see it too?" Xu Shen asked. It didn't seem surprising that Lou Haiyin could see what she thought was an elf and had extremely strong mental power, so she could see something like a summoned creature.
Lou Haiyin nodded slightly and said nervously: "The elves told me that thing is very evil. I, I can feel their fear... That thing is too scary."
Xu Shen smiled and said, "Nothing, wasn't it suppressed by me?"
Lou Haiyin's expression was complicated. Although she said that, she felt that the other party did not use his full strength. Moreover, the twisted evil that went straight to the depths of his soul was difficult to erase even with extremely strong force.
Xu Shen recalled the Night Angel just now. This thing is similar to a spiritual body structure, but it has physical killing power. It is a rather special ability, but that is all he felt.
…
…
Let Lou Haiyin dispose of the remains of Mu Wang.
Xu Shen collected several Xu weapons from the corpse and tried to merge them with the Xu weapons in his own body, but found that none of them could be merged. He had to take them first and took out two with a weight of 2, choosing one for each of Lou Haiyin and Xia Jingxiang.
Lou Haiyin's method of dealing with the corpse was very simple. He just let the elves around him cannibalize and eat the corpse.
Although he saw it with his own eyes, Xu Shen felt that his judgment of Lou Haiyin's ability was still somewhat biased.
The elf, which was a spiritual body, ate and digested the corpse bite by bite and disappeared completely.
Is this really a spiritual being?
Or is it something from the deep world?
There were too many strange and bizarre abilities, none of which were as ordinary as his own, and Xu Shen was unable to explore them. After taking the two girls away from here, Xu Shen went straight back to the Light Chasing Club.
It was already late at night, but when Xu Shen arrived again, he felt relaxed all over.
Here, the whole building is in his pocket.
The entire Termite City and the members of the Light Chasing Club in each district will be under his command.
Xu Shen came to the top floor and saw Da Lili's surprised expression. He smiled at her and said, "Call the other deputy commanders and the senior executives of each department."
Big Lily was surprised and asked, "Now? It's so late..."
"No matter how late it is, arrive within one hour for this area and within two hours for other areas." Xu Shen ordered.
"Such a big thing, do I need to inform the leader?" Big Lily asked cautiously. She could see that Xu Shen seemed a little different.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to notify me."
"?"
Xu Shen didn't explain, just waved his hand and walked towards Mu Wang's office.
Big Lily felt torn. If the Wood King blamed her, she would be the one to suffer.
But Xu Shen's attitude made her dare not refuse. After thinking it over, she finally gritted her teeth and passed the order on.
Not long after, the district's top leaders and several deputy commanders all arrived.
These people gathered on the top floor, sitting in the conference room, whispering. Some had just crawled out of their beauties' nests, and some were drunk and had to sober up and come here because of the orders.
"Miss Lily, do you know what it is?"
"I heard that there has been some news in Nightingale District recently. Could it be that?"
"Deputy Commander Zhou, you..."
Sitting in the conference room, these people were whispering to each other, asking questions.
They were summoned here so late at night that it must be something important and no one dared to neglect it.
After all, Xu Shen's iron-blooded wrist that had previously killed six commanders in a row had shocked many people. Although the Light Chasing Club had recently lost six commanders, it had not become chaotic, but the people under it had become more cautious.
"We don't know either."
Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head, feeling equally confused, and she winked at Da Lili.
Big Lily shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuanyuan frowned slightly, especially when she learned from Lily that it was Xu Shen who issued the notice, she had an even more ominous feeling in her heart.
Although she had a good relationship with the young man Xu Shen, she always kept a distance from him and did not dare to get close to him. After all, Xu Shen was too murderous.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. This uncomfortable feeling made her want to stay away from him.
Not long after, senior management from other districts also arrived one after another.
The entire conference room was full, and the discussions became a little louder.
The top floor of the light-chasing party was brightly lit late at night.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Big Lily gently pushed open the door and subconsciously looked towards the guest sofa, but found that only the two women next to Xu Shen were sitting there. She glanced around and saw Xu Shen sitting in the position of Wood King at another desk.
Big Lily was stunned for a moment, and her calves trembled slightly.
“Commander, Commander…” Big Lily reacted and spoke unsmoothly. She was extremely shocked and whispered, “Leader…”
"Is everyone here?" Xu Shen asked.
"We're all here..." Big Lily hesitated to speak, her heart was shocked, and suddenly a thought came to her mind. Xu Shen had summoned everyone and sat in the position of the Wood King, but the Wood King was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that...
Xu Shen stood up, and Lou Haiyin and Xia Jingxiang immediately stood up and followed him.
Arriving at the meeting room, Xu Shen pushed open the door.
In an instant, the discussions in the conference room disappeared as if the mute button was pressed.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the young figure standing at the door.
Ever since Xu Shen killed six commanders and became the sole commander, everyone in the Light Chasing Society has known this young and fierce commander.
"Xu, Commander Xu..." Someone reacted and quickly stood up to greet him.
The other people who were sitting previously were also frightened and stood up in unison. The sound of a row of chairs being pushed back was heard in the conference room.
Xu Shen didn't say anything, but walked straight to the front of the conference table, to the leader's seat.
Then he pulled out a chair and sat down.
This simple action made the entire conference room even quieter.
Everyone opened their mouths, staring at the scene in amazement.
"Everyone, sit down." Xu Shen said in a light voice.
When everyone reacted, some were still confused, wondering how Xu Shen had such courage.
The others sat down slowly, but looked at Xu Shen anxiously, with questions on their faces.
"King Mu has passed away, and I am now the leader."
Xu Shen leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and said something shocking.
There were no extra words, just a simple explanation, but it made everyone in the conference room open their eyes wide.
The leader of the Wood King...died?!
Many managers at the headquarters had come into contact with Mu Wang during the day and reported their work to him, but now... just one day had passed and he was dead?!
Seeing Xu Shen's nonchalant attitude, some people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
I’m afraid this “death” is not that simple.
After a brief silence, everyone looked at each other, trying to digest the shock of this news.
"Xu, Commander Xu, how did the leader die?" An old man from the headquarters couldn't help but ask cautiously.
Xu Shen glanced at the other person and said indifferently: "He encountered an A-level ruin when he was out, and he couldn't escape. I only found his remains."
"What about the wreckage?"
"Buried."
"Commander Xu, will King Mu still be here? We can't just rely on your one-sided statement..."
Xu Shen raised his hands, and all the sounds seemed to be strangled.
"In other words, you are questioning me?" Xu Shen looked at the people who were trying hard to suppress their anger. There were naturally few fools sitting here. The answers were all under the table, but no one was willing to break that layer of paper.
But Xu Shen didn't care.
Seeing Xu Shen's straightforward question, several people's faces twitched and they dared not answer.
After all, other commanders had already told them underground how brutal the young man in front of them was.
"I am also very sorry for the death of King Mu. Now I have taken over his position. If you cannot adapt, you can withdraw. I will not force you." Xu Shen said calmly.
