Suppressing the Three Pillars

"Buzz—!"

Amidst the tremors of the entire space, an unprecedentedly violent explosion erupted as if a star had burst open in mid-air, unleashing a terrifying storm and flames that expanded in a spherical shape.

Some distance from the center of the battlefield, a group of "Bal Masqué" apostles and Phosphorus watched this scene with their faces completely frozen, and cold sweat dripping down their foreheads. One can imagine how shocked they were.

As for the Starry Sky Palace, it seemed to have encountered a powerful earthquake, trembling frequently, making the aerial fortress seem to be on the verge of collapse, and bringing with it a storm-like shockwave.

In an instant, buildings began to sway precariously, and glass shattered completely, turning into fragments.

The scene was extremely horrifying.

However, amidst the explosion, a flash of light suddenly appeared.

"Choke----!"

Amidst the melodious cries of swords, a chilling blade flashed across the entire shattered explosion, neatly slicing the terrifying storm and flames in two.

Even the chains that had coiled together to form a sturdy cage were cleanly and decisively severed.

"Impossible!" Belphegor exclaimed.

Not only Belphegor, but even Hecate, who was always expressionless, showed a slight change in expression, clearly extremely surprised.

That's only natural.

Belphegor's chains are a special Treasure Tool made by the Alliance Leader she serves. Unless Belphegor herself initiates them, even Shudenan cannot break them.

Not to mention, Belphegor's chains are also Treasure Tool that plays a significant role in defense.

Among the Three Pillars, Shudenan, who was appointed general, was prone to unauthorized attacks; Hecate, who was appointed Great Miko, was skilled in guerrilla warfare; Belphegor was appointed Chief of Staff, was skilled in counterattacks. They were the type who struck first after being caught off guard.

In a counterattack, defense is a crucial element.

Therefore, Belphegor's chains are so strong that as long as one focuses on defense, virtually no one can break them.

Now, however, it has been cut off.

It was a dagger that looked extremely ordinary.

"No! That's not right!"

Belphegor remembered those chilling Ice-Blue Demon Eyes and finally realized it.

"What truly severed my Treasure Tool was not the dagger, but those eyes!"

This statement immediately drew a response.

"That's not just cutting it off, it's killing it."

When the voice reached Belphegor's ears, Belphegor heart skipped a beat.

Without any hesitation, Belphegor swung the chain in her hand, causing it to erupt once more. With a series of "clattering" sounds, the chain danced and circled around Belphegor, instantly forming a tight defense around Belphegor.

However, facing that solid defensive net, Fang Li, who had appeared behind Belphegor at some point, simply stared at it with his icy blue eyes and slashed down with his sharp dagger.

"Smack—!"

With a crisp sound, the chains that were swinging heavily were as fragile as paper, and were cut cleanly by the dagger that came down.

Next, all Fang Li needs to do is deliver the final blow, and Belphegor will be finished.

And this period of time will definitely not be too long.

Although Fang Li had only just swung his sword once, even with his astonishing attack speed, there would still be a slight moment of stun, giving Belphegor. However, Fang Li's weapon was not just a single Moon Blade.

Bō Xié, shrunk to the shape of a dagger, had already been tightly gripped in his other hand.

"Choke----!"

The blade flashed.

The pure white dagger suddenly slashed down, cutting through the air, and with astonishing speed, it swept across the entire space and landed on Belphegor.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through a human body echoed clearly in the surroundings.

Belphegor's body was sliced in two by a flash of sword.

"Ah..."

On the distant outskirts of the battlefield, the cries of alarm from the apostles and Phosphorus, belonging to the "Bal Masqué," could be faintly heard.

Fang Li, on the Fang Li, frowned deeply, sensing that something was wrong.

"Zheng—!"

The next second, Belphegor, Fang Li with dazzling golden light and began to disintegrate, turning into a ring that formed a chain. It was as if the ring itself had been cut in two, and it was neatly sliced open and fell down.

That was actually a stand-in.

"Splash—!"

Then, the sound of chains began to ring again.

Fang Li turned his eyes and looked ahead.

There, chains were seamlessly intertwined.

Inside, accompanied by a burst of brilliant golden flames, Belphegor slowly emerged from the fire, her expression solemn as she met Fang Li's gaze.

"What exactly happened? Why did this human suddenly become so strong?"

This was the only question in Belphegor's mind.

"Before, this human simply did not have this level of strength."

If the other party were truly that strong, capable of suppressing the Three Pillars alone, they wouldn't have needed to cause such a commotion in the Starry Sky Palace for so long; they would have escaped long ago.

"The general said that it was the opponent's hidden trump card. Since it is a power that needs to be deliberately hidden, it must have some kind of limitation, just like the Treasure Tool of us Three Pillars."

It must be said that Belphegor truly lived up to her reputation as Chief of Staff, as she immediately deciphered most of the mystery.

"No matter what, he is very powerful now, and he also possesses a terrifying ability that is impossible to defend against. We cannot be careless."

Belphegor raised her voice and addressed those around her.

"Let's attack together!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two auras began to move.

"Stars!"

Hecate raised her Triangular Censer Staff, causing the sky-blue flames to gather at the tip, transforming into a dazzling meteor shower that streaked through the air and shot towards Fang Li's direction.

"Drink it!"

At the same time, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Fang Li, raising a heavy steel spear and wielding it with practiced ease. As he did so, turbid purple flames roared and burned, transforming into a fiery Tatsumaki that swept forward under Shudenan's low roar.

Belphegor no weakness whatsoever. Chains danced wildly around her, igniting with golden flames, and surged toward Fang Li like venomous snakes carrying golden fire.

Three attacks appeared simultaneously, forming a triangle that enveloped Fang Li. Each attack contained immense power, capable of shaking not only the human body but also the earth.

In response, Fang Li simply raised his pure white dagger.

"Buzz—!"

During the tremor, the dagger suddenly grew larger, instantly transforming into a giant sword, which tilted and slashed outwards.

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, sweeping across the space.
