A Deadly Sneak Attack, Please Follow

"Patrick? It has been nearly a few hundred thousand years since we last met, hasn't it? You have actually become a Midgod." Deep within the ocean, a powerful divine sense quickly responded to Petrick: "What are you doing in the South Sea?"

"I am here for you, of course. It took me over 80 years to track you down; it was no easy task." Patrick said with a smile.

On the Zhongyuan Continent material plane, the vast majority of the territory is ocean, especially the South Sea, which is boundless and over a hundred times the size of the Zhongyuan Continent. Searching for someone in such a place, even with a divine sense covering a radius of one hundred thousand li, is highly inefficient.

Because the person he was looking for was also a loner without a fixed residence and was likely constantly on the move, finding him within a century was a matter of pure luck.

"Haha, if you went through so much trouble to find me, there must be something major going on." The mysterious person said again, while simultaneously flying rapidly toward this location.

In a material plane, the speed of a Midgod is extremely fast, and in no time at all, he arrived before Patrick.

"Jialuoke, the innate talents of you divine beasts are truly terrifying. Even this speed is far faster than mine." Patrick said with some surprise.

"You knew that a million years ago." Jialuoke said: "Speak, what is the matter that brought you here?"

"It is like this." Patrick recounted everything that had happened on the Zhongyuan Continent.

"What did you say? Becoming a god in just over a decade?" Jialuoke asked in disbelief.

"Yes, and he is incredibly powerful. Do you think he might be a divine beast whose true form resembles a human? Otherwise, I cannot fathom why he would be so strong." Patrick asked.

"It is possible." Jialuoke nodded and said: "Whether it is innate talent or some special divine beast, I must go and see for myself."

"Haha, good. There must be a great secret on him. Once we discover it, we shall split it fifty-fifty." Patrick said with a laugh.

"That won't do. Seven for me, three for you. If it is knowledge-based, we share it." Jialuoke said.

"Fine, that is acceptable." Patrick agreed readily. The truth was, the other party was much stronger than him, and since he was the one asking for help, he naturally had to rely on him.

"Then let us go." Jialuoke nodded.

Following that, a black and a cyan-green streak of light flew rapidly toward the direction of the Zhongyuan Continent.

A month later, not far outside Qingyue City, Jialuoke frowned and said: "Why are there so many Lowgods here? Patrick, did you lie to me?"

A Midgod is indeed very strong; dealing with an ordinary Lowgod is basically a one-shot kill. Whether it is a soul attack or a material attack, the opponent has almost no possibility of fighting back.

However, with over 30 Lowgods gathered together, even if the two of them joined forces, they would not gain any advantage, and there was a real possibility that they could fall in battle.

"This... I do not know. When I left the Zhongyuan Continent, the Radiant Church only had 11 Lowgods." Patrick was also a bit stunned. He had assumed that by bringing a Midgod stronger than himself, dealing with these people would be a piece of cake.

But he never expected that there would suddenly be over 20 more Lowgods. If a real fight broke out, the risk of him falling was quite high.

"You left the Zhongyuan Continent over 80 years ago. In these 80 years, to my recollection, there has only been one instance of the Laws of Heaven and Earth descending in the direction of the Zhongyuan Continent. Therefore, these new Lowgods must have become gods by refining a Godhead." Jialuoke analyzed.

As long as one is in a material plane, the commotion caused by the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth cannot be hidden from other god-level powerhouses; they can be sensed from any distance, the only difference being the intensity.

"That must be it. I have sensed these Lowgods of the Radiant Church, and they were indeed once Saint-level experts." Patrick analyzed: "I just don't know where they got so many Godheads!"

"They certainly did not come from the Radiant Church. My divine sense covers thousands of Saint-level experts; if they had possessed Godheads for a long time, they would have likely chosen to let someone refine them already." Jialuoke said.

"Then they must have been brought by that Sean. There is no other possibility." Patrick said.

"This Sean is truly miraculous. There must be some special secret on him." Jialuoke said with a smile.

Even a Lowgod Godhead is the most precious treasure to a Midgod.

"Then what should we do now?" Patrick asked, knowing full well that there must be a major secret regarding Sean.

"The two of us are not confident in taking down so many people. Let us return to the South Sea and find others to join us." Jialuoke thought for a moment and said.

A year later, just over ten thousand li outside Qingyue City, Jialuoke, Patrick, and over a dozen hovering powerhouses were gathered.

"Everyone, we have already stated the rules. It is rare for you to come to the Zhongyuan Continent. I do not care what you do afterward, but until we have wiped out the god-level experts of the Radiant Church, you are not to wander off." Jialuoke warned.

"Lord Jialuoke, rest assured, we know what to do. We only require that you follow our agreement: after the deed is done, each of us receives one Lowgod Godhead." A Lowgod said.

"That goes without saying." Jialuoke agreed: "Later, when we head toward Qingyue City, do not get too close, or they will sense you. Patrick and I will strike first. Once the energy fluctuations from our clash reach you, you may then move in."

"Understood." The dozen or so Lowgods all agreed.

"Let us go." Jialuoke looked at Patrick beside him.

"Right." Patrick nodded. These dozen or so Lowgods were all powerhouses who had become gods independently.

It was not that the South Sea was filled with naturally gifted experts, but Jialuoke, as a native Midgod, knew the situation perfectly and had specifically selected these people. Regardless, with a Godhead as a reward, any god-level expert would be tempted.

In truth, it would have been safer to invite another Midgod to join, and there were several in the South Sea. However, if another Midgod came into contact with Sean, they would likely discover Sean's anomaly as well. If they discovered some treasure or secret afterward, it would lead to unnecessary conflict, which would be undesirable.

With the help of over a dozen independently ascended Lowgods, plus the two of them as Midgods, dealing with 30 Lowgods—more than half of whom had only recently refined their Godheads—would not be difficult.

Even if they were still outnumbered, as long as they could stall for time and let the two Midgods slaughter a batch first, there would be no problem. In particular, the two of them could launch a sneak attack to kill several people first.

Qingyue City:

Sean, who was in seclusion, suddenly sensed a strong sense of hostility in the surroundings. He immediately spread his divine sense and said: "Everyone, be careful."

However, it was clearly too late. Two powerful auras struck the 6 Lowgods of the Radiant Church who were maintaining the light magic formation.

"Boom!" A massive amount of energy erupted within Qingyue City, turning everything within a radius of several li into ashes. Dozens of li away, the energy waves from the clash of god-level experts also leveled all the buildings.

Countless ordinary people died, and even Saint-level experts, if they were close enough, were basically killed instantly.

"2 Midgods." Sean's expression changed. Besides Patrick, there was actually another Midgod who cultivated the Water Laws.

Under the joint sneak attack of the two Midgods, 5 of the 6 Lowgods maintaining the light magic formation died on the spot, while the other, Huoqi, was severely injured and immediately burrowed into the ground to escape.
