The priest who wielded divine power

"Invocation Law?"

"You are not a sorcerer, you are a priest!"

Startled, Muzheng's gaze towards the old woman vanished without a trace of disdain.

"Which god are you a priest of?"

"No wonder you dared to stand up for these slaves!"

"We, the Gods of the Five Directions, have always been tolerant of priests who can communicate with the divine..."

"If you're willing to join us, we might stop advancing this time, and we might even release these slaves."

Muzheng wasn't using any delaying tactic; he genuinely thought that way.

Priests who can communicate directly with the gods are few and far between, and priests who can bear such terrifying Divine Power are even fewer.

At this moment, the old woman even reminded Muzheng of the former high priest of the Guifang Kingdom —the blasphemer who betrayed the Gods of the Five Directions.

"Now that I possess the truth, do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me?"

Standing on the trembling earth, the old woman's figure remained as steady as Mount Tai.

The next second, the old woman stretched out her palm towards Muzheng and the others, and a suffocating sense of oppression followed.

Boom!

Realizing the danger, Muzheng didn't hesitate at all and pounced on You Chong, knocking him to the ground.

However, Muzheng and You Chong managed to escape this crisis.

However, the black beasts they rode were skewered like candied hawthorns by two earth spikes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They showed no intention of stopping, and one after another, spikes began to rise from the ground.

Because the area affected by these spikes was so wide, it seemed endless for a time.

"You!"

He stared at the old woman opposite him with eyes wide with fury.

Muzheng then realized that the attack had not only been directed at him and You Chong.

The old woman's attack range covered the entire team; it was an attack targeting all members of the Guirong Clan.

Fortunately, although these spike attacks were sudden, the Guirong Clan was no ordinary elite force.

With formidable combat power far exceeding the average quality of this era.

Most of the eight hundred Guirong Clan managed to evade the attacks of these earth spikes.

Of the remaining Guirong Clan who were attacked, only a few unlucky ones had their bodies pierced through.

"All troops assemble!"

Suddenly raising his voice, Muzheng's voice resounded for kilometers around.

This was certainly not the volume a normal human should produce; rather, it was the wind actively amplifying his sound at that moment.

This is the power of the priests, and also the power of the Gods of the Five Directions.

It is obvious that even though he was eliminated from the regular priesthood, Muzheng still possessed the ability to communicate with the Gods of the Five Directions.

In fact, all eight hundred Guirong Clan possessed similar abilities; the only difference was the strength of their powers.

It was only thanks to the warning from the Gods of the Five Directions that they were able to evade the old woman's sudden attack.

"Draw your swords! Charge!"

The first to draw his sword Muzheng, who flipped over and charged at the old woman opposite him without hesitation.

Boom!

In a flash, the old woman raised her hand again.

A sharp, metallic spike pierced through the ground, its target clearly aimed at Muzheng.

This time, even with the warning from the Gods of the Five Directions, Muzheng was still unable to dodge the old woman's attack.

Clang!

In an instant, the sacrificial ironware, blessed by the Gods of the Five Directions, was shattered by the earth spikes.

As for Muzheng, the owner of the long sword, his body was pierced by fragments of iron, leaving him covered in blood.

"Muzheng!"

Upon seeing this, You Chong, who had finally gotten up in a disheveled state, did not hesitate for a moment and drew his long sword, rushing towards the old woman.

The Guirong Clan had fought against priests of the gods before, and their combat experience was quite extensive.

They simply hadn't expected that someone would dare to openly intercept them.

What surprised them even more was that this seemingly frail old woman could unleash such terrifying power.

It should be understood that the favor of the gods is indeed the priest's strongest trump card.

However, such a large-scale use of Divine Power is not a good thing for the priests themselves.

Each deity has different preferences, and the price to pay for using divine power naturally varies as well.

Even the most benevolent deity's power can be terrifyingly corrupting to mortals.

You're courting death!

You Chong suddenly swung his longsword, and the raging wind instantly transformed into sharp blades.

Faced with such a sharp attack, the old woman simply turned slightly to the side, and a wildly growing vine formed a plant wall in front of her.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The vines were quickly severed, and the wind blades were gradually neutralized.

Just as the old woman was about to raise her hand again, a sound that shook the earth suddenly came from the line.

Those were the Guirong Clan's scouts who had finally reacted; they were the most elite of the Guirong Clan's warriors.

As dozens of warriors rode out of the ranks on black beasts.

Any slave who dared to stand in their way became prey for the strange beasts.

These black beasts were not the warhorses Li Boyang remembered, but ferocious beasts that fed on tigers and leopards and were bloodthirsty and warlike.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The sight of dozens of man-eating beasts charging together was beyond description; it was simply spectacular.

Ignoring the threat of the earthquake, they traversed the sharp spikes in the ground...

The dozens of black beasts were as agile as apes, yet possessed the ferocity of tigers and leopards, and quickly approached the old woman.

Most importantly, behind these scouts, the Guirong Clan, who had also realized what was happening, rushed out of the slave group and charged toward her position with fierce expressions.

As elite warriors who had once fought against the gods, the Guirong Clan was never lacking in ferocity.

In contrast, the old woman, despite possessing Divine Power unimaginable to ordinary priests, was like a novice who had not undergone any professional training.

Clang!

In just one encounter, more than a dozen strange beasts carried their masters close to the old woman.

The sound of longswords being drawn was the same; although these Guirong Clan were not as aggressive as You Chong, they still wielded whirlwind-like blades.

"Ha!"

The weathered voice was like that of an old lion.

The old woman's eyes widened as a seed fell from her sleeve and quickly took root and sprouted.

Sizzle sizzle...

The attackers closest to it had no time to react before being swallowed whole by the rapidly expanding giant carnivorous plant.

Whether it's a strange beast or the Guirong Clan...

Compared to that enormous carnivorous plant, we are as fragile and insignificant as ants at the bottom of the food chain.

"Children! Go on a killing spree!"

After unleashing her long-suppressed murderous intent, the old woman's face seemed to become as terrifying as a demon.

The seeds of strange plants were flung out, and upon contact with the ground, they took root and sprouted, growing into bloodthirsty and brutal cannibalistic plants.

The real battle has only just begun from this moment.

The silent charge of the Guirong Clan stood in stark contrast to the terrified slaves around them.
