Chapter 789
Chapter 789: Chapter 715 Confrontation Chapter 789: Chapter 715 Confrontation Tao Yu suddenly discarded the lump of flesh, causing the faces of the few people at the scene to change instantly.
Apart from Tao Yu, who was letting Patriarch Bright, who was secretly trying to return, go unchecked, the other three were all emitting a rather hostile aura.
Dai Lan, who had just attacked Patriarch Bright and demonstrated her allegiance, had a gloomy expression with wrinkles furrowing into deep grooves.
“It seems, sir, you intend to make us enemies of the Witch’s Church, allowing him to return and accuse me?”
As she spoke, several paper figures seemed to appear out of thin air next to Tao Yu, and they seemed to faintly form some sort of array, resonating with each other.
Almost the moment they appeared, they suddenly collapsed inward.
There was no violent explosion, nor much aftermath, as if everything inside was meant to be erased!
Dai Lan didn’t expect to defeat the enemy with one move and quickly used rapid thoughts to communicate with Kamishiro Rize and “Truth,”
“He wants Patriarch Bright to return.
Once he successfully does so, I fear it will be hard for me to establish myself among the Pioneers, and in the Current World, I can only flee into the fog, which would greatly reduce my intelligence-gathering capabilities.”
“I know what to do.”
“Truth” nodded, just as he was about to do something with his raised finger.
Suddenly a fine red mark appeared on his finger.
“Hmm?”

“Truth’s” pupils slightly constricted, and the next moment, his finger broke off with a burst of black twisted viscous liquid spewing from the wound!“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Truth simply wiped his hand over the injury, which twisted and healed, and a new finger grew as he grimly looked in another direction,
“It’s indeed not his real body.”
As he spoke, a huge Alchemy Array had already formed across the vast land beneath, enveloping the land and the rivers, causing the entire area to constantly quake.
Sharp earth spires rose from the ground and kept spinning.
The earth being drained caused numerous depressions.
Even mountains hundreds of meters high broke from their roots and soared upward.
As they rose, they twirled as if being peeled, continuously shrinking, compressing, and splitting!
Bang bang bang~
Countless drill-like earth spires broke the sound barrier, racing towards the place where Tao Yu appeared.
Moreover, the Alchemy Array below seemed to also possess some sort of immense restraining and capturing ability, locking the void around Tao Yu, making his entire figure appear distorted.
“How powerful…”
Tao Yu glanced at the attacks that seemed ordinary but contained terrifying kinetic energy, his eyes also filled with a hint of amazement.
Nothing fancy, just pure kinetic energy impact; the mass of small mountain-like bodies, combined with such speed, each attack even surpassed Madara Uchiha’s Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star!
Such casual effort, is this the power of the Bottle Man…
“Indeed, this guy’s aura is off, not a Saint but probably not far off.”
Feeling the blockade of the surrounding space, even the Flying Thunder God was affected.
Unconcerned, Tao Yu casually lifted his hand, and a Void Sword Shadow floated above his fingertip, continuously spinning.
Then he slashed casually.
Sizzle~
A fine line followed the slash, as if it had cut a fault line into the world before him!
The rotation of the Void Fine Line instantly turned all the drill heads to dust, with no excessive force dispersing.
Even the residual effects of the attacks were less than that of ordinary Catastrophe Levels!
Yet, this attack that lacked a nuclear explosion or hurricane,
had both Dai Lan and Kamishiro Rize retreating repeatedly as if encountering ghosts, fearing they might accidentally get swept into it and vanish!

“This strong?!”
Dai Lan was both shocked and angry, as this differed from the intelligence reports!
Why was there such a strong person in the Land of Fire?
The previous strike by the blond Quasi-Saint had already frightened her, yet it had been completely erased with just a casual sword stroke by the opponent!
Why was this so…
“Forget it, I ask you to join me in killing the injured one first!”
Dai Lan dared not engage in the fight at the Quasi-Saint level, appearing calm, but that was because the localized power between the fighters was so strong that even the World Fragment space was distorted, passively neutralizing those residual waves!
It seemed like just the distortion in the road surface under hot weather, but she could feel that if she entered, she would surely suffer immensely!
“Hmph, no matter what the situation on your side, this kid must die!”
Now, having consumed the mutated flesh given by the Bottle Man, Dai Lan had no way out; she definitely could not allow Patriarch Bright to safely return!
Her previous sneak attack had perfectly cut off some vines, and she could now see, through the gap, Patriarch Bright below, meditating with eyes closed, his body incomplete and broken.
Even though his body was grievously wounded, a great amount of Life Energy was still pouring out from Patriarch Bright, clearly triggered by some life-saving artifact that barely kept him alive, preventing him from dying directly under Dai Lan’s hands.
At this moment, he was fully engaged in meditation, connecting with the Realm Will, completely shielded from external Perception.
Even if the enemy were right before him, he made no futile struggle.
Once his return was interrupted, he was doomed either way!
“It’s not like resisting after waking up is useful!”
“Hmph, let’s see if you have any tricks left!”
Dai Lan’s sleeves fluttered, and once again, some invisible paper men slipped into the void.
She wasn’t afraid of Patriarch Bright’s methods; most of his life-saving devices had already been scrapped by her first strike.
The huge gap in power was apparent!
But she was worried about what that Quasi-Saint had left!
Patriarch Bright was already like a fish on the chopping block, yet she didn’t want to capsize in her own gutter.
Kamishiro Rize, who came along, was actually there to help guard against this.
No need for her to act, just maintaining the formation in case was enough.
“You are the target we’ve finally found; we won’t let anything happen to you.”
The void tentacles behind Kamishiro Rize were drawn but not released, seeming ready to explode with devastating distortive attacks at any moment.
They had developed more than one informant within the Pioneers.
But the Catastrophe Level was too difficult; they could only maintain some cooperative relationships at most.
This time, they had fortunately encountered a Catastrophe Level whose lifespan was almost up, bringing an irresistible temptation, making it so easy!
Those Catastrophe Level Pioneers were very cautious; they almost never took part in pioneering.
They would only act after many other pioneers had explored.
Each one of them had various bizarre life-saving techniques, slippery as eels.
Thus, this rare opportunity must be secured, not letting the hard work of their informants go to waste.
Almost in the moment she took her precautions, the vines that had been protecting Patriarch Bright suddenly seemed to come alive.
Eyes opened on the vines, all glaring toward the two in the sky.
Dai Lan immediately felt as if she had lost contact with her paper men, as if subjected to extreme pollution!
“He was indeed polluted by the Evil God!
His pollution is even worse than yours!”
Dai Lan screamed, her eyes shedding black teardrops, based on the feedback related to her paper men.
What sins have I committed today?
First, I consumed a piece of highly polluted flesh, and now I encounter this.
This made Dai Lan, who had already borrowed power from the Evil God, feel as if her body was about to ‘come to life’.
“Hmph.”
Kamishiro Rize also didn’t believe in curses; although she was indeed outclassed in direct combat power, just a casually left defensive measure shouldn’t target her!
As a plethora of tentacles burst from behind her, a graceful figure soon appeared before her.
Accompanied by an extreme chill, it instantly froze all the tentacles behind her!
That freezing cold spread upwards, as if it was invading her soul.
“She’s quite beautiful; it would be a pity to kill her.”
Esdeath approached the controlled Kamishiro Rize, lifting her chin with a finger to inspect closely.
Meanwhile, Dai Lan, who was about to turn and flee, was nailed into the void by a supersonic spear that appeared out of nowhere, struggling incessantly.
Originally, Dai Lan was more powerful than Kamishiro Rize and considered a strong figure among the Catastrophe Level; she shouldn’t have been bound so easily.
However, after being struck by pollution multiple times and now experiencing a fear-induced flight, she got caught and pinned on the spot by the lurking Scathach.
“Should we kill that guy?”
Medici, slacking off, appeared beside them, eyeing the still meditating Family Head Bright below, seemingly a bit restless.
Then, another mouth grew on his face, scoffing,
“Idiot, if they wanted to kill him, why would they save him?
They obviously intend to send him back deliberately.”
“He’s meditating, completely sealing off all Perception; it doesn’t matter, let him go.”
Ignoring what came next, the three turned their gazes back toward the other side of the battlefield that made them all feel uneasy.
Sword Shadows of Void pervaded the entire area, as if trying to make that region undergo a replay.
And corresponding to it were various extraordinary energies of earth, fire, wind, and water, even including the sudden appearance of ‘The Sun’!
“The enemy this time is strong, but why isn’t the Master fully stimulating the Sword Array?”
Scathach’s expression also turned serious, the opponent’s burst of power greatly exceeding the threshold of this area!
The space distortions left behind, if not specifically smoothed out after the battle, would likely remain naturally for years!
As special beings who usually resided within the Innate Barrier and possessed self-consciousness, they knew that Tao Yu’s strongest attack was to pull people into the near-complete Immortal Slayer Sword Array.
Not like now, merely remotely manipulating Sword Intent to attack.
“Maybe he’s not sure he can retain the opponent.”
Esdeath crossed her arms, her eyes also somewhat intoxicated.
“Is that so…”
Scathach was uncertain; they had all witnessed and even helped Tao Yu set up the complete Immortal Slayer Sword Array.
Although they knew activating the Immortal Slayer Sword Array once required a lot of energy to recalibrate and replenish, the power it brought should not have trouble resolving the problem at hand.
Just using Sword Intent remotely like this shouldn’t be a problem to keep them…
Perhaps the Master is worried about other troubles later…
