Upon seeing the Grand Enforcer arrive, the Second Enforcer felt more secure and could finally offload these troublesome matters.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian's brow twitched.
Truth be told, he had long detected the Grand Enforcer's presence, hidden nearby.
However, he had assumed it was the Second Enforcer's backup, so he had paid no mind until they were forced into a confrontation.
Now, it seemed that was not the case.
Thinking this, he looked at the Grand Enforcer and smiled, "Good, finally someone who can keep their word has arrived!"
The Grand Enforcer's gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian, and he said calmly, "Did you hear what I said earlier?"
The Grand Enforcer did not wish to quibble with Ye Cangtian and got straight to the point.
"Isn't that an obvious question?"
"But regardless of whether I heard it or not, my answer will not change!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the Grand Enforcer and stated firmly.
Hmph!
The Grand Enforcer let out a light snort upon hearing this and said, "So, Mr. Ye is confident in facing the encirclement of all forces?"
"Do I need confidence?"
Ye Cangtian gave a cold laugh and continued, "If the number of people trying to encircle me is too small, it won't be enough. If it's too many, I will surely receive prior notice and leave first. In that case, do you think I would be threatened?"
This…
At this remark, the Grand Enforcer's face rapidly turned grim.
Ye Cangtian clearly intended to play a guerrilla warfare game!
If that were truly the case, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate Ye Cangtian.
After all, Ye Cangtian had the support of the Death Squad, making his intelligence exceptionally well-informed, and his own strength was formidable.
Coupled with Ye Cangtian being alone and hidden within the crowd, finding him would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
Did Ye Cangtian have no weaknesses?
As this thought crossed his mind, the Grand Enforcer suddenly smiled. Something had occurred to him.
He then looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Ye Cangtian, you are correct, eliminating you is not easy. But don't forget you also have weaknesses. You can run to the ends of the earth, but what about your friends and family?"
The Grand Enforcer considered Ye Cangtian's friends and family to be insignificant in terms of strength, and capturing them would not be difficult for the Hall of Light.
Once they captured these individuals, given Ye Cangtian's loyalty and deep affection for his loved ones, he would undoubtedly brave the danger to rescue them.
At that time, they could prepare a vast net and encircle and kill Ye Cangtian there.
Ye Cangtian could not possibly flee with them, could he?
If that were the case, with more people, the chance of exposure would increase. How long could they escape then?
"Grand Enforcer, I can see that you are pushing your luck to the brink of death!"
"You are correct, this is my weakness. But have you ever considered that the Pope and Guang Yu would not understand the same principles that you understand?"
"Why are they afraid to lay a hand on the people around me?"
Just as the Grand Enforcer was excited by his brilliant idea, a cold voice echoed again.
A potent killing aura emanated from Ye Cangtian's surroundings once more. He was using this method to warn the other party that those who touched his bottom line deserved only death!
"This…"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the Grand Enforcer was visibly stunned. Ye Cangtian's words, which he had not mentioned before, now caused him to fall into doubt.
So, he subconsciously looked at Ye Cangtian and asked, "Why?"
"It's very simple. First, as those in power, they know what 'harm does not extend to family' means!"
"Second, they also know what angering me will bring to the Hall of Light! Do you still remember Dames?"
Hearing the answers Ye Cangtian provided, the Grand Enforcer immediately laughed.
He saw none of this "harm does not extend to family" or "fear of angering Ye Cangtian" in the Pope and Guang Yu.
The Hall of Light had more than once targeted Ye Cangtian's family!
The Hall of Light had more than once angered Ye Cangtian!
It was just that all of these attempts had ended in failure.
If it were only these matters, the Grand Enforcer would not have paid Ye Cangtian any mind. But the most crucial point was that Ye Cangtian had mentioned Dames!
That operation had deeply shaken him.
Ye Cangtian, single-handedly, had infiltrated the Hall of Light, killed Dames, severed one of the Pope's arms, and forcibly retrieved Xu Zhenguo's head.
All of this, if not for the many witnesses, he would absolutely not have believed to be true.
It was for this reason that he harbored some apprehension towards Ye Cangtian.
Thinking thus, he slowly began to speak, "Ye Cangtian, our Hall of Light does not wish to have any dealings with you. We merely wish to reclaim the Seal of Light belonging to the Hall of Light ruins, and to regain control of the Hall of Light. It's that simple."
"You should know, this is not an unreasonable request," the Grand Enforcer added.
"Hmph!"
Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort and said grimly, "I don't care if it's an unreasonable request or not. I only firmly believe that with Nancy as the Pope, I am at ease. If anyone else takes her place, I will definitely take action to eliminate them!"
"As for the Seal of Light, there is only one way for you to obtain it: by force!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian reiterate his stance, the Grand Enforcer's face had turned so grim it looked as though it could bleed.
This attitude spoke volumes; no matter how he negotiated, the other party would not change his decision.
With this thought, the Grand Enforcer menacingly said, "Ye Cangtian, since you refuse to back down, then there is no other way. We can only resort to arms. You will not be leaving today!"
As he spoke, the Grand Enforcer clapped his hands.
The sound echoed, and the sound of footsteps immediately came from all around the hall.
Even before Ye Cangtian's arrival, the Second Enforcer had already mobilized the Knights of Light to the surrounding areas.
This was in case of any unforeseen circumstances, requiring the use of forceful means.
Now, having received the signal from the Grand Enforcer, these Knights of Light immediately surrounded the side hall from all directions.
Facing only Ye Cangtian, this was the optimal moment to strike. Otherwise, if the opponent had too many helpers, the outcome would be difficult to predict.
Thinking this, he looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "It is still not too late to change your mind!"
Hmph!
Hearing the Grand Enforcer's voice again, Ye Cangtian's face showed utter disdain, and he said, "If you wish to fight, I will accompany you to the end. However, do you think these mere pawns can kill me?"
"I only know that many ants can bite an elephant to death!"
The Grand Enforcer's face darkened. He waved his hand, giving the order to attack, and then retreated outwards with the Second Enforcer.
They were acutely aware of Ye Cangtian's strength. Attacking now would be a dead end for them.
Therefore, they had to use a war of attrition with sheer numbers to wear down Ye Cangtian until his combat power was greatly reduced, or until they had a guaranteed chance of victory before they would make their move.
Otherwise, prior to that, they could only maintain a safe distance.
"Hmph!"
On the other side, seeing the Knights of Light surround them, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort. In the next moment, he summoned Nami.
The instant Nami appeared, many of the Knights of Light halted their advance, with only a few still rushing forward to engage in battle.
The former had witnessed Nami's power, her terrifying area-of-effect abilities leaving a deep impression on them.
As for those who had not witnessed it, they were like calves born without fear, charging forward.
Swish, swish, swish…
In the next instant, Nami's gaze turned cold, and countless water arrows formed before her. As the water arrows shot out, a sky full of arrows pierced through the bodies of countless individuals.
Blood flowed like rivers for a time.
…
With just one volley, all the Knights of Light stopped in their tracks.
In this situation, to break the deadlock, Nami had to be dealt with.
But was Nami so easy to deal with?
Let alone Ye Cangtian being by Nami's side, even if Ye Cangtian were not there, there was still Gui Wu.
In such a situation, dealing with Nami was easier said than done.
"Scoundrels, you cannot stop! You cannot give them a chance to breathe, otherwise, we will all die here!"
"Continue the attack! Do not be afraid, that mermaid's attacks are limited…"
On the other side, seeing everyone stop, the Grand Enforcer was so angry he was stamping his feet.
However, no matter how enraged he was, out of nearly ten thousand people, few dared to step forward. Furthermore, those who did step forward were mercilessly shot down by Nami in a short span of time.
In the next moment, with no one daring to advance, only the Grand Enforcer's furious roars remained.
Drip, drip, drip…
The Knights of Light fell silent. Ye Cangtian then took a step forward, walking towards the Grand Enforcer on the periphery.
In the current stillness, Ye Cangtian's footsteps could be clearly heard.
And those Knights of Light who stood in Ye Cangtian's path all parted to let him pass.
In the end, only Garland stood before the two enforcers, blocking Ye Cangtian.
