Return Again V

Thick smoke billowed from the Blood Mist, rising upwards.

The white column of smoke rising from here can be seen from all directions of the entire Ci Tong Port.

"So, there have only been these two people here from beginning to end?" Zhang Rongfang was lifted up by the blood python, and under the Blood Manipulation, he seemed to be flying.

But in reality, he was still supported on the ground by the body of the blood python, not flying.

He looked around at Kan Sain, who was shouting and yelling.

His eyes flickered.

"Since there are only these two people... then..."

'Then what are you hesitating for? Take advantage of the situation!' White Scale was also holding back her anger. She had been worried about being ganged up on by a group of top-tier Spirit General.

That's it?

"That's true." Zhang Rongfang suddenly smiled.

Bang!

The others vanished from their original spots in an instant, transforming into blood shadows that appeared before Kan Sain.

One palm strike.

Boom! A cloud of Blood Mist exploded in mid-air. Kan Sain had no time to react. He tried to block, but his hand was only halfway up when he was hit in the chest.

The immense blunt force of the impact made him feel as if he had been hit head-on by a giant ship.

My vision went black immediately, and I was plunged into darkness.

His entire body left a trail of blood in mid-air before crashing violently into the city streets, sending up a shower of rubble and bricks.

Zhang Rongfang took a step forward, and his figure disappeared again.

When it reappeared, it had already traveled hundreds of meters and was once again beside Kan Sain.

One palm strike.

Clang! Suddenly, a thick, silver-white arm rose up and blocked his way.

The arm collided with Zhang Rongfang's palm, making a loud noise.

But his opponent clearly underestimated his explosive power.

The silver-white arm bent backward and broke on the spot.

The obstructers were also sent flying and spinning by the immense force, crashing through several houses with a deafening roar.

"Someone else is coming?"

Zhang Rongfang looked at the person who had just arrived.

She was a tall woman dressed in light gold armor.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down like tassels from the gaps in her Helmet, reflecting a faint golden light even in gloomy weather.

"However, it's meaningless."

With a single step, he vanished once more.

Kan Sain, covered in blood, lay supine in a deep crater in the street. He was powerless and struggling.

"It's Holy War Star General!! No, she can't possibly be a match for that person alone!"

The Holy War Star General was stronger than them and possessed a special inherited artifact, but he suddenly used up his last bit of strength and squeezed the pocket watch in his hand.

Click.

"In the name of God, imprison them!!"

Laugh.

A series of white light ripples appeared in mid-air in response.

It was not a physical white light, but a special spiritual phenomenon that only those residing in the Spirit Core or who had Worship God could see.

In an instant, beams of white light descended from the sky, shining through the ripples and heading straight for Zhang Rongfang.

Zhang Rongfang's figure solidified, appearing beside the woman in light gold armor, and he swiftly grabbed at her neck with a series of palm strikes.

The two fought at an incredibly fast pace. However, he was mostly on the offensive, while his opponent was on the defensive.

The woman was unable to react and could only defend herself with difficulty, relying on her pale gold armor.

The armor constantly shimmered with a fluorescent light, and a cluster of thorns and roses on the chest shone brightly.

At this moment, Zhang Rongfang stretched out a palm, which was just then enveloped by a beam of light from the sky.

The Great Array covering the entire port surged with immense power, crushing him layer upon layer.

A massive, invisible, transparent force field tightly gripped Zhang Rongfang's entire body, attempting to completely imprison him.

But less than half a second.

A snap.

The force field shattered, washed away and pierced by the large amount of blood rising from Zhang Rongfang's body.

His outstretched hand landed without any resistance on the woman's neck.

When!!

The palm collided with the armor, squeezing and producing a harsh cracking sound.

A large amount of blood was forcibly drawn out from the gaps in the armor.

The woman screamed and struggled in Zhang Rongfang's hands.

She frantically pounded Zhang Rongfang with her boxing gloves. But all her attacks landed on the spurting blood.

Several dark red pythons flew out, transforming into Blood Shield that blocked Zhang Rongfang's path.

Each time the Blood Shield is hit, it will splash Blood Spots onto the woman.

Blood Spots and Spirit Thread corroded each other, turning into rising white smoke.

The intense pain spurred the woman to struggle even harder, but only resulted in more horrifying agony.

A few seconds later.

Click.

Her body slumped to the side and she stopped moving completely.

A large amount of fresh blood flowed from the gaps in his armor, replenishing some of the energy Zhang Rongfang had just used up fighting against the divine power and the formation.

Everything returned to calm.

Zhang Rongfang gently landed on a rooftop, his blood-stained robe flowing and coalescing again, returning to its original pristine state.

He glanced around and saw the White Ten Sect army gathering in the distance.

Under the commander's orders, the artillery had already formed ranks and were ready to bombard this area again.

But when Zhang Rongfang looked over there, the commander in charge froze and stood motionless.

He trembled violently, his face turning deathly pale. Then he let out a loud scream and turned to run.

"So, does this mean I single-handedly defeated the Garrison here?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked.

The surrounding streets were now filled with large areas of ruins and debris from the fierce battle.

Lying in the deep pit, Kan Sain was slowly turning to black ash. He had been soaked in too much blood and was unable to heal himself; he could only wait to die.

The blonde female general also fell to the ground, her entire body slowly turning into black ash inside her armor. Clearly, she had also died from blood loss.

The two didn't even have time to use their Divine Descent.

"Didn't you want to arrest and interrogate people? Now that everyone's dead, what are we going to do?" White Scale said helplessly.

"It's all their fault," Zhang Rongfang sighed. "If they hadn't frightened me, I definitely wouldn't have killed myself like that."

'Despite being so weak, he chased me like he was a top-tier Spirit General.'

He took a light step, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the pale gold armor left behind by the Blonde Woman after her death.

'This armor seems unusual.'

"This is a divine artifact. You can think of it as something similar to our Demon Weapon. It's something that existed long ago. It was made from something blessed by Gods and Buddhas. Of course, for ordinary people and heretics, even if they wore it, it would only be a constraint. It's useless to you," White Scale explained.

"Never mind then." Zhang Rongfang raised his hand and pointed.

Large amounts of blood gushed out from beneath his blood-stained robe, submerging his armor.

Thick smoke billowed up, and soon the bloodstains disappeared, leaving only a set of ordinary white armor on the spot.

The faint, divine golden hue that had been there before had completely vanished.

After doing all that, he looked up at the sky.

Laugh.

With a flash of blood, the figure transformed into a streak of blood, charging towards the headquarters of the White Ten Sect Vanguard Army at Ci Tong Port.

The headquarters was temporarily chosen Prefect's Mansion.

At this moment, the entire Prefect's Mansion was filled with powerful Holy Cross Star Knight had already gathered together.

They all stared intently at their surroundings, their faces tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Further out on the outer edge was a ring of elite Crossbow armed with crossbows.

Each of these elites possesses a vital energy equivalent to at least Great Ling level expert.

Further out were ordinary soldiers and white-robed priests who had gathered there.

The priests sat cross-legged on the ground and sang hymns from the Bible.

The positions where they sat cross-legged subtly formed a huge, unique circular array, affecting the larger Holy Forest Array throughout the port.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a bloody shadow landed, revealing its form.

It was Zhang Rongfang, who had just been asking for directions.

He strode forward.

After taking only a few steps, they discovered an invisible oppressive force looming over the entire Mansion.

"Interesting. These Westerners have quite a few tricks up their sleeves." He looked up at the sky with great interest.

There were faint, white ripples of light, just like before, constantly surging there.

Layer upon layer of chanting gathered from around the Mansion, the sound seemingly possessing some kind of magic, constantly suppressing the boiling, restless blood in Zhang Rongfang's body.

'Let me test just how tight the defenses are here.'

He smiled slightly and continued walking forward.

Puff.

Suddenly, when he was only 120 meters away from the Mansion gate, he could even see the face of the priest sitting cross-legged in front of him, and the cold sweat on the foreheads of the many soldiers who were devoutly following along.

Even though there was nothing in front of him, there was an extremely powerful force surging, sweeping, and blocking his way.

"There are at least several statues of God Lord- level deities here. If you try to force your way in, I'm afraid you'll..." White Scale didn't finish his sentence.

Whoosh whoosh!!

In an instant, blood pythons flew out from Zhang Rongfang's side and pounced on the mysterious and unknown invisible force field in front of him.

"Guardian Divine Domain!!" It was clear that someone inside the Mansion had noticed something was wrong and was defending with all their might.

At this moment, beams of white light emanated from all the Holy Cross Star members within the Mansion and shone directly into the sky.

The faint light combined with the Great Array, and with the mysterious divine power emanating from the Statue.

The three combined to form a powerful, gust-like pressure that crashed towards the incoming blood python.

Whoosh! The oppressive aura and the blood python remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air, with thick smoke rising from their point of contact.

This is blood and oppression corroding and neutralizing each other.

"Interesting. You think this will stop me?" Zhang Rongfang continued forward, step by step.

As he moved forward, the soldiers who were closer to him trembled violently, and large amounts of blood spurted from their mouths and noses, flowing into his blood-red robe. Then, new blood flew out from under the robe, transforming into blood pythons that joined the ranks of those resisting the oppressive force.

One step at a time.

The distance is constantly decreasing.

The nearby soldiers fled in terror to the sides and outwards, not daring to approach any further.

Some small crossbow bolts and bullets flew towards Zhang Rongfang, but were blocked by the Blood Shield covering his body.

The Blood Shield was semi-transparent and looked very thin, but it was actually made up of dozens of layers, each of which was exceptionally tough.

Soon, a clicking sound rang out from the air around the Mansion.

Bang!

Zhang Rongfang suddenly leaped into the air and accelerated forward.

His figure transformed into a blood-red shadow, and with all his might, he crashed into the entire Mansion gate.

A distance of over a hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The gate shattered, and the priests and soldiers reciting the Bible around them felt dizzy, as if they had been hit by a huge rock, their heads spinning.

The members of the Holy Cross Star coughed up blood, became dispirited, and scattered and fled, no longer daring to stay in one place.

As soon as they ran, the rest of the guards scattered and fled.

In just seven or eight seconds, the entire Mansion went from being filled with nearly a thousand people to being completely empty.

Disorderly and quiet.

Some of the slower runners had their blood automatically spray out and flow into Zhang Rongfang's blood-stained robe.

He ignored those who ran fast.

There were too many people, so he could only control them one-on-one when he extracted blood; he couldn't control them on a large scale.

The reason there were so many people before was simply because he could acquire targets quickly.
