Sean didn't use his full speed. Otherwise, the person they'd targeted this time wouldn't have been able to escape, but it would've been harder to kill anyone else afterward.
With all the god-level experts watching, Sean's fist struck the black spear wielded by the god-level expert from the Darkness Church.
Bang! The tremendous clash of force opened tiny cracks in space. The space of the Material Plane was fragile, and the strongest god-level experts could tear open rifts in it with ease.
Sean was unaffected, but the spear in his opponent's hands was struck by a tremendous force and torn from his grasp.
The impact also cracked the bones in both his hands, and bloody fissures spread across his skin in an instant.
"Get back!" Patrick saw what was happening from a distance and was greatly alarmed. This kind of physical attack was in no way weaker than his own.
He wasn't about to let one of his subordinates be killed. Just as he was preparing to rush to the rescue, countless white threads like a spiderweb appeared around him, along with overlapping Divine Domains.
"Those damned things again." Patrick's expression changed dramatically. He opened his own Middlegod Divine Domain, gray-black Death Divine Power surging through him as he tried to break through the web of threads woven from Light Divine Power.
But it was obviously futile. If the Radiant Church's battle formation were that easy to break, the Radiant Church would have been wiped out in Shengyue City ten years ago.
"Quick, everyone, pour in your divine power and hold him!" shouted the six experts from the Radiant Church.
During the brief moment when Patrick had fallen back, they'd learned from their nearby companions' mental messages that Sean was on their side. They still didn't know why Sean had become a god-level expert, or why he was so powerful now.
But you had to strike while the iron was hot. Sean could kill one of their god-level opponents right now—a chance that came once in ten thousand years.
They had to remember that more than ten years ago in Shengyue City, it had taken a whole lot of feigned weakness and an empty-city ruse to lure that fool from the Fire God Sect into their trap and finish him off.
In an instant, several times more threads appeared around Patrick.
The threads couldn't hurt even a Lowgod, but they were incredibly tough. Even cutting through them with an artifact took effort, and trying to force one's way out with brute strength met with tremendous resistance.
They caused no damage at all; they were purely an obstacle. It infuriated Patrick.
Unable to escape, he could only watch as the newly arrived Lowgod smashed his subordinate's head with a punch.
His subordinate was already doing everything he could to flee, but the distance between them had been too short. There was no way he could get away. Even when he used his injured hands to block the attack, it did no good.
The Lowgod Artifact protecting his head shattered from the impact, and the remaining force easily broke through his defenses and struck inside.
In an instant, the aura of a god-level expert vanished completely. Sean's remaining power pulverized the Dark Lowgod's entire body, leaving behind only a Godhead.
The strength of the attack left everyone there suspended in midair, except Sean.
He flashed past Patrick and charged toward the other enemies, while sending a mental message to the six Light Lowgods: "Please hold Patrick off. I'll deal with the others."
"Good." The six quickly recovered from their shock. Their side had grown much stronger, so they had to fight harder. They needed to take a few enemies out; otherwise, even with Sean, they'd be under enormous pressure later.
"Be careful. If things get bad, just run," Patrick urged. He was a decisive man. As long as you kept the green hills, you wouldn't run out of firewood. He needed to keep his subordinates alive and figure out what to do next later.
As long as the Darkness Church had him, they wouldn't lose. But he couldn't be the only one left, or a lot of things would become difficult.
"Don't worry. Everyone, stay together so we don't get picked off one by one," called another expert who cultivated the Darkness Laws.
In their view, if they scattered, one of them was bound to get caught. But if they stayed together, surely five Lowgods could beat one Lowgod of the same rank?
