Chapter 733: Chapter 723 Eradicate Thoroughly

"Woo-wah-woo-wah, wah-wah-wah..."

The cicada’s song became increasingly piercing, unsettling the minds of everyone who heard it.

What had started as a solo had now become an ensemble.

When even the cotton balls could no longer block out the sound, Priest Wu Liugen sat up, closed the ’Creation God’s Quotations’ in his hand, and stared blankly at the stained-glass windows above from his place on the red carpet in the middle of the church.

"What are you doing?" Yan Xiu asked, slightly taken aback.

"They’re coming in," Wu Liugen said expressionlessly.

No sooner had Wu Liugen spoken than the church’s stained-glass windows were smashed open. A cicada, glowing with a blue halo like a blue cannonball, zoomed towards Wu Liugen on the ground, trailing a splendid indigo tail-light.

Yan Xiu’s eyes narrowed as he swiftly drew Buddha’s Pistol and fired a shot at the cicada.

The bullet, with a golden halo, headed straight for the head of the blue cicada, but the insect twisted its body eerily and dodged the bullet.

Meanwhile, Wu Liugen, still sitting on the ground, was unable to dodge the fast-moving cicada.

Then Yan Xiu saw Wu Liugen pull out a golden knife and face the direction from which the cicada was flying, as if waiting for it to impale itself on the dagger.

"That blue cicada can even dodge bullets, there’s no way it’ll just run into..."

But to Yan Xiu’s amazement, that’s exactly what happened.

The cicada crashed straight into Wu Liugen’s knife without attempting to dodge, its wings beating frantically, but ultimately unable to lift off from the blade.

Wu Liugen stepped on the cicada on the ground, pulled out the golden knife, then cut off the tail of the cicada, releasing a burst of golden energy that turned that small piece of tail into powder.

Yan Xiu opened his mouth in shock. Even Assimilation Lower Sequence superpower users found cicadas difficult to deal with. How could Wu Liugen so casually take one down with a smirk?

Since graduating from Theological Seminary, just how much had Wu Liugen’s strength grown?

And why did he cut off the tail of the cicada?

As if noticing Yan Xiu’s confusion, Wu Liugen said with a smile, "My master named me Wu Liugen to remind me that when facing my enemies, I must Eradicate Thoroughly, leaving no roots behind."

Yan Xiu was exasperated, "Eradicate Thoroughly means getting rid of potential problems and leaving no troubles behind. If you’ve killed it, what trouble is left?"

Wu Liugen replied naturally, "Anything that allows the enemy to reproduce is a potential problem; thus, I cannot leave it behind."

Yan Xiu was somewhat exasperated. Was this his understanding of Eradicate Thoroughly?

Thankfully, their enemies were just insects, or else the image would be too ghastly to imagine.

After the blue cicada died, it turned into a pile of rubble, but the condition was not over yet. More and more cicada songs emerged overlapping each other, making their conversation even more challenging.

Wu Liugen patted Yan Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, that was just a probe. There should be at least twenty more outside..."

"No, it seems like more."

Yan Xiu looked grave, failing to understand what made this small church worthy of the cicadas’ attention.

More than ten? That’s the kind of attention usually reserved for major cathedrals.

Wu Liugen said somewhat sheepishly, "A few cicadas came here before. In a spirit of compassion, I eradicated the roots as usual but then let them go."

"Who knew the cicadas would become more numerous, so I had to resort to killing them."

Eradicating the roots and then letting them go back...

This method of attracting hatred was truly unparalleled...

Yan Xiu now had no idea what to say anymore; Wu Liugen had changed from the roommate he knew.

Back at the Theological Seminary, as students, they never had the chance to fight to the death with an enemy, so Yan Xiu had no clue that Wu Liugen was such a flamboyant guy.

But no matter how flamboyant Wu Liugen was, they still had to face what needed to be faced.

Those cicadas outside—Yan Xiu estimated that, pushing his limits, he might deal with one or two. Could Wu Liugen alone take care of the rest?

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you complete your feigned death safely," Wu Liugen said with confidence.

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and, looking toward a pillar inside the church, said, "Your Excellency, please come out. Hiding behind a pillar is hardly upright and forthcoming."

...

"Wow, what do we have here, so many of them," said Wen Wen, lying on a cloud eighty meters above the church, sticking his head out to look at the cicadas below.

From his vantage point, the cicadas actually looked quite beautiful, leaving faint blue halos in their flight paths.

However, the number was staggering—not just one or two, nor the ten or twenty that Wu Liugen mentioned, but at least fifty!

Tao Qingqing felt her scalp tingle. She had almost been killed by a single cicada before. Although it was a moment of carelessness, it still left a shadow in her heart.

Following the Sanctuary’s mark for the Containment Officer, Wen Wen easily found Yan Xiu, but did not expect that upon his arrival, he would see Yan Xiu besieged by so many cicadas in a small church.

Wen Wen speculated there might be some secret to this church that had attracted the attention of those cicadas.

So, he directed his cloud to land, and using his teleport ability, entered the church quietly, just in time to witness the brutal scene of Wu Liugen’s "Eradicate Thoroughly."

Wu Liugen’s philosophy of eradication made Wen Wen smile, but what caught his attention more was Wu Liugen’s strength.

He seemed shrouded in a mist, giving off an ordinary vibe at a glance, with only Disaster Level power.

But as he effortlessly killed a cicada, his power was definitely beyond Disaster Level.

Therefore, Wen Wen’s left eye suddenly turned silver. He wanted to use Mirror Eye to see through this guy’s secrets.

Under the power of Mirror Eye, layers of mist enveloping Wu Liugen were peeled away. Just as Wen Wen was about to see the essence, Wu Liugen suddenly looked in Wen Wen’s direction and asked him to come out.

Wen Wen touched his nose awkwardly and stepped out from behind the pillar.

Seeing Wen Wen, Yan Xiu was startled and said, "Wen... why is it you?"

Although Wen Wen’s appearance left Yan Xiu in shock, he also breathed a sigh of relief because he knew Wen Wen was much stronger than him.

Wen Wen scratched his head and coughed lightly before saying to Yan Xiu, "I need your help with something, so I came to find you."

Then Wen Wen turned to Wu Liugen, "I’ve tried my best to restrain my qi, and I didn’t make any noise, so how did you discover me?"

"Because you were looking at me," Wu Liugen said abruptly.

"You found me just because I was looking at you?"

Wen Wen paused, not quite understanding Wu Liugen’s logic.

Wu Liugen nodded, "It’s related to my ability; I’m sensitive to certain things..."

"Oh..."

Wen Wen did not continue to inquire further. Everyone had their secrets.

Moreover, the chirping of the cicadas outside... had changed...
