talisman between his fingers and pointing it skyward."With the might of thunder, cleave through all things in the world!"The righteous man's eyes were sharp, a talisman burning between his fingers."Cr..."This time, the pupil technique didn't work..." Fang Yu's eyes twitched slightly, and with his right hand, he grabbed the other arm of Violet as well.

At the same time, a powerful true qi was released, enveloping Violet's body and locking her completely!

Violet found it incredibly difficult to move.

But her magical energy within was surging uncontrollably, churning violently.

At this moment, the crimson lotus that was struck into the ground by the outburst of mana surged up from below.

Her face was grim, her pupils burning with fiery rage.

She was furious!

"Ugh..."

The scarlet wings on Honoka's back spread open, igniting with crimson flames!

The temperature of the entire world suddenly rose.

"Stay calm, don't attack me." Fang Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless threads of spatial power suddenly appeared around them.

Fang Yu's brows furrowed, and he looked up at the sky.

Crimson Lotus also turned her head and looked around.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

In every direction, wherever the eye could see, portals appeared.

These portals appeared like holes burned into the sky, one after another.

Besides the power of space, a powerful magical energy emanated from within the portal.

"It seems you're angry at just the right time." Fang Yu glanced at Honglian, a sneer curling his lips. "The Pantheon...has come to our door."

Her complexion was icy, with red veins appearing at the edges of her cheeks.

"Whoosh..."

After the portals appeared one after another, figures flew out of them.

These people are wearing different robes, but the staffs they are holding in their hands show that they are all mages.

And besides these mages, all sorts of strange creatures are pouring out from within each portal.

These creatures were clad in identical silver robes, their faces concealed by masks, while the parts of their bodies that remained exposed... were a pale pink flesh.

They are not very tall, only about a meter high, and have four limbs.

And within them, a faint holy power emanates.

Compared to the mages who donned robes when standing, these strange creatures numbered in far greater quantities.

There were no more than thirty mages, yet these strange creatures poured out of the portal endlessly, as if there was no end to them.

Fāngyǔ and Hónglián remained motionless, their gazes fixed on the myriad teleportation portals that filled the sky.

We come from the Temple of Gods!

A handsome-faced mage who looked to be only middle-aged stared at Fang Yu, and said in a cold voice.

"I know," Fang Yu nodded, then glanced at Violet who was immobilized by his Qi, and smiled faintly, "Your target is her, and I know that too."

"Since you know, then hand the person over." The mage said coldly. "To oppose the Pantheon is to oppose the gods. You are all but mortals, and your end will be to be crushed like dust."

"With such a huge display of force, whether I hand over the person or not, I'm afraid you intend to treat us as dust to be crushed, right" Fang Yu smiled. "All this talk is just empty chatter. You want to get something for nothing and avoid any losses, don't you"

"Just two cultivators from the Summer Region, daring to be so arrogant." The mage snorted coldly, raising his staff and saying, "Since that's the case, let you see... the strength of our temple mages!"

"Requiem of the Undead."

The mage gripped his staff, aiming it at Fang Yu.

"Bang!"

The gem at the top of the staff flashed, suddenly bursting forth with a large cloud of black energy!

Dark energy quickly enveloped Fang Yu and Honglian's positions.

And within the black mist, one could see numerous ghostly demonic faces!

These demon faces were grotesque, contorting endlessly and emitting piercing shrieks.

"Get out of here."

Before Fang Yu could make a move, Honglian on the side let out a delicate cry.

Her gigantic wings on her back suddenly flapped.

"Sigh..."

The Crimson Tempest surged forward, sweeping across the onslaught of black miasma with a wave of scorching heat.

"Boom!"

Two auras collided, the black aura unable to withstand the attack and instantly dissipated.

While waves of crimson flames continued to surge upward towards the many mages in the sky.

Feeling the intense heat approaching, these so-called temple mages' faces all changed, each casting their spells!

"Whoosh!"

Only through the skillful casting of potent spells could these mages barely and clumsily dodge the searing wave of fire.

Especially the mage who had just cast the Necromancer's Requiem, half of his robes were burned and he was covered in soot.

"This group of temple mages, if ranked by the Order's standards...should all be at ten stars or above, no weaker than Yan Zhen." Fang Yu looked at the group of mages, his eyes flickering.

However, Fang Yu was quite experienced in dealing with mages.

Whether it's him or Honglian's fighting style... they are both extremely restrained against mages.

As long as the strength is strong, and the speed is fast… The mage doesn't even have a chance to cast a spell.

Or, simply destroy the wizard's staff, and he becomes powerless.

So, looking at the nearly thirty monks in front of him, Fang Yu had no interest and directly handed it over to Honglian to deal with.

What concerned him more was the horde of strange creatures pouring out of the rear portal.

And at this moment, all the mages present looked at the crimson lotus shrouded in red flames in the air with terrified eyes and hearts trembling.

They realized that the opponent was not as easy to deal with as they had imagined!

No wonder all the temple mages of the Ten Winged Divine Messenger came here.

When the Ten Wings Divine Messenger delivered the message... he only said that it was two cultivators with high cultivation from the Yanxia region, without revealing their identities!

These two people, what kind of divine beings are they!

That unremarkable man aside, this woman burning with crimson flames... is definitely no ordinary cultivator!

"Boom..."

Just as these mages were shaken in their hearts, the red lotus had already transformed into a streak of crimson, charging towards them.

Accompanying this were fiery crimson flames that blanketed the sky.

The terrifying temperature struck terror into the hearts of these mages.

However, Crimson Lotus's speed exceeded their expectations.

"Whoosh..."

The lotus cut through the crowd of mages, eliciting a chorus of screams.

The fire wave she unleashed engulfed dozens of mages who hadn't had time to dodge.

The extreme heat left the mages screaming for only two or three seconds before their bodies turned to ash and plummeted downwards.

"Bang!"

She was incredibly fast, leaving a trail of crimson flames in the air.

"I don't want to die..."

From the sky, came the screams of these mages.

Within seconds, the once imposing temple mages... were reduced to just three.

One of them was the middle-aged monk who had spoken against the others at the beginning.

"You, who are you all…who are you!" The middle-aged mage stared at the distant red lotus and then at Fang Yu, asking in a broken voice.

"Oh So you don't know who I am" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "My name is Fang Yu. Even if you haven't seen me, you should have heard of my name."

As soon as those words left his mouth, the remaining three mages were stunned for a moment before their faces turned pale with alarm!

They remembered who Fang Yu was!

This is the man who over a year ago sank the Angel Priest's Church and sailed away!

"Why didn't the Ten Winged Divine Messenger warn us when they passed on the message..." The middle-aged mage's eyes were bloodshot, his heart roared inwardly.

But moments later, he suddenly realized something.

Summon all temple mages... to eliminate an enemy who even the main gods fear.

This is the command of the main god.

The main god... wants them dead!

"My Lord God... this is punishment! No, it's revenge! Revenge for when we didn't intervene!" The middle-aged mage gritted his teeth, saying.

He was careless.

Even if you are careful, there is only one way to die.

Because I want them to die… it’s the God of Hosts!

These temple mages, they could not refuse.

Even if he wasn't sought out by Fang Yu, he would have been killed for refusing to obey the imperial edict.

"Master God... you're so cruel! Our crimes don't warrant such punishment!" The middle-aged mage glared with fury, his heart filled with despair.

Fang Yu looked at the remaining three mages, his eyes narrowed slightly.

And at that moment, Crimson Lotus had already charged toward them.

"Slow down!"

Fang Yu looked at Honglian and shouted loudly.

Honglian was in the midst of a furious rage, but upon hearing Fang Yu's voice, she forced herself to quell her anger and stopped mid-air.

She turned her head to look at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu then turned to the three mages, a slight smile on his face. "I know you don't want to die, so... how about we make a deal"

Three monks' faces changed, all looking at Fang Yu.

"Take us to the Temple of the Gods, and I will spare your lives." Fang Yu continued.If you lost that icy armor, you'd be no different from an ordinary rhinoceros," Fang Yu said.After that, Fang Yu raised his unicorn horn once more and hurled the Ice Armored Unicorn skyward.According...
