Chapter 254: Chapter 252 All Beings Are Sinful

After Wen Wen disappeared, Pang Liu and his companion were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

If Wen Wen were to spill the beans about what had happened here, the two of them would surely be in deep trouble, and perhaps even the Bishop might be implicated!

The things they had done in this town, if accidentally discovered by the Hunters Association, wouldn’t be much of an issue with the backing of the Glory Church, as they had long been prepared for every contingency.

But if their attempted assassination of the Demon Hunter failed and was exposed, the nature of the matter would be entirely different.

"Angel of Universal Light, find that Demon Hunter, he must not be allowed to leave alive!" Pang Peng hurriedly shouted at the angel statue.

The white light throughout the small town began to flow in a strange manner, searching every nook and cranny of the town and its surroundings, but Wen Wen was no longer there.

Moments later, the angel statue shook its head, indicating that Wen Wen had completely vanished.

"What should we do?" Pang Peng was thoroughly panicked and could only seek help from Liu Shang.

"First, let’s find a place to lay low. If that guy spills the beans, others might be fine, but we two will definitely be made scapegoats!"

Liu Shang also had a somber expression, his eyes carrying a hint of murderous intent when looking at Pang Peng. Were it not for Pang Peng’s rashness, the situation wouldn’t have deteriorated to this dire state.

However, he didn’t dare show his dissatisfaction, because the Angel of Universal Light was under Pang Peng’s command; a single order from Pang Peng, and the Angel would hesitate in slashing him down.

After a quick discussion, the two hastily packed up, preparing to flee the town, planning to return once the situation had calmed down.

But at that moment, Wen Wen, who was ready, appeared again. He extended his hand towards their retreating figures and said, "Stop, are you trying to run?"

Upon turning around and seeing Wen Wen, Pang Peng immediately showed an expression of great joy, for Wen Wen’s appearance meant they would no longer need to escape in embarrassment!

"Angel of Universal Light, kill him, don’t let him get away this time!"

The angel statue looked towards Wen Wen, pointed its longsword in his direction, and white light surrounded Wen Wen, attempting to restrain him.

But this time, unlike before, Wen Wen was not without the power to fight back.

His body faintly revealed streams of green data, which began to fine-tune his entire state. In just a few seconds, Wen Wen had adapted to the restraint!

What Yan Biqing could do, Wen Wen could do too, and perhaps even better.

Though his movements were still somewhat hindered, the white light’s influence on Wen Wen was no longer significant.

As a Disaster Level being himself, this angel simply could not overwhelmingly suppress Wen Wen now!

Seeing that the white light was ineffective, the angel statue’s wings unfurled behind it, gliding towards Wen Wen.

It was several meters tall, its body composed entirely of huge, heavy stone blocks; the sheer force of its charge could demolish a tank.

However, Wen Wen didn’t need to confront it head-on. Since the angel was controlled by Pang Peng, resolving Pang Peng would end half of the problem.

Wen Wen ignored the angel rapidly approaching him, his gaze fixed on Pang Peng, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Pang Peng felt a chill running from his tailbone up to his skull as if an ice-cold short sword hung around his neck!

He desperately hefted his greatsword, ready to defend himself. Just at that moment, Wen Wen exhaled, and there was a loud ’bang’ from where he was, and Wen Wen disappeared from the spot.

Pang Peng was terrified. In his field of vision, as soon as Wen Wen vanished, he had already crossed a distance of over ten meters, appearing right in front of him!

And in that moment, he had just lifted the greatsword to his chest and abdomen!

Before the blink of an eye, Wen Wen was already standing behind him, having sheathed his short sword.

It was only after Wen Wen stopped that a sword light, which had spanned a distance of over ten meters and passed through Pang Peng’s neck, became visible, and Pang Peng’s head soared into the air.

The Pang Peng who had previously exchanged blows with Wen Wen was now slain by a single stroke of his sword!

"Truly worthy of being one of the few sword techniques in that swordsmanship, indeed formidable. However, it does impose a heavy burden on the body," Wen Wen turned around, looked at the corpse of Pang Peng, and said with a sigh.

The technique Wen Wen had just utilized was one of the mere five sword techniques within the Nameless Swordsmanship, the Thunderclap Style.

Approach the enemy at an extremely high speed and decapitate them.

The Wen Wen of before, although he possessed a monstrous constitution, had never been able to use these sword techniques, and he even thought that the techniques were figments of the Containment Officer’s imagination.

It was not until he acquired Yan Biqing’s physique that he finally had the ability to execute this move.

"Being able to use such a technique, it’s only natural for the senior to have escaped from the clutches of the Catastrophic Dragon. But even for me, using it imposes a great burden. For the senior to have executed such a technique with a human body, is simply defying the heavens!"

Wen Wen pondered quite a bit, but it was all in an instant.

Liu Shang was so scared by Wen Wen’s sword strike that he couldn’t stand steady. Why had a Demon Hunter who was so easily suppressed by the Angel of Universal Light suddenly become a powerhouse of the Assimilation Realm after disappearing for a short while?

And from the looks of that sword strike just now, he’s probably no ordinary powerhouse of the Assimilation Realm!

As Wen Wen had expected, the angel stopped moving after Pang Peng died, so Wen Wen also put his mind at ease.

He turned his head to look at the shocked Liu Shang and said with a smile, "Are you surprised, why I have suddenly become so strong?"

"Your intelligence capabilities need strengthening. I left Furong River City because I was going to attend the Ranger examination. As for the to-and-fro battle with you just now, I was merely suppressing my strength."

Liu Shang, pale as death, knelt on the ground without answering Wen Wen. He didn’t understand how a simple mission could have escalated to this point.

Then he looked at the corpse of Pang Peng with venomous eyes - it was all his fault. If it weren’t for this waste, none of this would have happened.

"It’s all over, it’s all over!" Liu Shang said with a vacant look in his eyes.

Wen Wen began to laugh and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you for now. I need you to tell me exactly what’s going on here."

Liu Shang shook his head and pointing behind Wen Wen, he said, "I’m not afraid of you. I’m afraid of it..."

Wen Wen was taken aback, turned around sharply, and saw that the angel statue had burst forth with white light, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

Its body was covered with cracks, the stone shell flaking off bit by bit, revealing the white body underneath that emitted a faint glow.

Kneeling in his spot, Liu Shang’s eyes were full of despair: "By killing the controller Pang Peng while the angel was awakening, the Angel of Universal Light will now act on instinct, and its instinct is to purge the world’s filth and sins."

Wen Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what are you afraid of, have you done something unspeakable?"

Liu Shang shook his head: "In the eyes of an angel, all living beings are sinful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the stone fragments on the outside of the angel statue fell off.

Then, an illuminated Avian with a sword and armor and wings on its back, appeared before Wen Wen.
