"Ye Cangtian, do you think the Bright Knights are all cowards!"
Garland glared at Ye Cangtian, roaring.
He couldn't stand by and watch the Bright Knights retreat in fear, nor could he bear to see the Hall of Light being bullied like this.
Therefore, even though he knew in his heart that he was no match for Ye Cangtian, he still stepped forward with a brave face.
He wanted to let the other party know that the Hall of Light still had people!
He wanted to use his own life to ignite the fighting spirit of all the soldiers, urging them to pick up their weapons and resist!
"Garland, don't play the hero in front of me. Do you not know how you entered the Heaven's First Class?"
"Get lost, a good dog doesn't block the way!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Garland and said dismissively.
"You!"
Garland's chest heaved violently with anger at his words.
Previously, during the operation at the family compound, Ye Cangtian had arrived in time. Due to his apprehension towards Ye Cangtian, Garland had chosen to surrender without a fight.
He was later released and returned because the Hall of Light and the Huaxia forces formed an alliance.
This experience had become a lifelong pain for him.
Now that Ye Cangtian mentioned it in front of everyone, it instantly made him feel like his carefully constructed persona had collapsed, and he wished he could disappear into the ground.
"Ye Cangtian, shut up! The past is the past! Besides, that was in your Huaxia, and this is now in the Hall of Light!"
"Even if I have to stake my life today, I won't let you run wild in the Hall of Light!"
"Brothers, stand up! Let us defend the dignity of the Hall of Light together..."
Saying this, Garland drew his cross longsword and charged towards Ye Cangtian.
Heh!
Ye Cangtian smiled, a smile filled with disdain.
If it were Anqiluo, or the First and Second High Priests, they might have been able to ignite the fighting spirit of everyone present.
But Garland was not qualified. He did not have such high prestige, and moreover, he had surrendered without a fight in the past, becoming a captive of Huaxia.
Therefore, in the eyes of the crowd, he was already notorious.
While thinking this, Ye Cangtian outwardly showed no concern for Garland's attack.
He neither blocked nor dodged, nor did he even pause his steps.
Whoosh!
Just as Garland's attack was about to land, a piercing sound suddenly cut through the air.
Immediately after, a white light flashed past Ye Cangtian's side and plunged directly into Garland's body, instantly sending Garland flying.
It was Nami who made the move, as she would not allow anyone to threaten Ye Cangtian.
At that moment, Garland's entire attention was focused on Ye Cangtian, and he hadn't noticed Nami's attack at all. Otherwise, he would never have been so unprepared.
"Garland, I'm not attacking you because you're not worthy of my attention."
"But that doesn't mean you can attack me as you please. Everything that happened today is your own doing. Remember to open your eyes wider in your next life!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the heavily panting Garland, a gaping hole in his chest, and said slowly.
"Ye Cangtian, you wait for me. If there is a next life, I will definitely seek revenge!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Garland spat out a mouthful of blood and, with his last breath, roared at Ye Cangtian.
Heh.
Ye Cangtian sneered disdainfully and said, "If there is a next life, you should find someone else to challenge! You are not worthy of being my enemy! And I have no need to wait for you for so many years!"
Pfft!
As the words fell, Garland spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, never to rise again.
Ye Cangtian completely ignored this clown, Garland.
He looked at the Bright Knights surrounding him and said, "If anyone is unconvinced, or seeking death, you can make your move now!"
Originally, after Garland was shot dead, the Bright Knights were indeed somewhat angered.
But now, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, they all lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian let out a cold laugh and continued walking towards the First and Second High Priests.
"This..." m..oΓg
The two High Priests became nervous as they watched Ye Cangtian heading directly towards them.
Now that the Bright Knights were terrified, what could they do against Ye Cangtian with just the two of them!
The next moment, they exchanged glances. With a flicker of their eyes, they seemed to have reached an agreement.
Then, at the same time, they fled in different directions!
Watching them split up and flee, Ye Cangtian sneered and said, "Can you escape from me?"
As his voice fell, the Tianyan on Ye Cangtian's brow opened, and a surge of spiritual energy shot towards the Second High Priest.
At the same time, Ye Cangtian's figure also moved towards the First High Priest. In just one or two breaths, Ye Cangtian stood in front of the First High Priest.
"You..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian in front of him, the First High Priest was sweating profusely.
He knew in his heart that whoever Ye Cangtian pursued was doomed to be unable to escape. Now, he could only hope that the Second High Priest could return and support the entire Inner Hall of Light.
But at this moment, a scream echoed. The First High Priest suddenly turned his head to look, and the Second High Priest had already fallen to the ground, writhing in agony.
To prevent the Second High Priest from escaping, the soul shock Ye Cangtian unleashed was extremely powerful.
Even a Heavenly realm expert would find it difficult to recover within more than ten seconds, let alone the Second High Priest, who was not of the Heavenly realm and had extremely weak soul cultivation.
Soul attack!
The First High Priest's eyes widened, and he let out a despairing roar to the heavens, "Heaven itself wants to destroy my Hall of Light!"
The First High Priest was filled with extreme despair. He was certain he could not escape, and it seemed the Second High Priest also could not escape.
Then, the only one left in the Inner Hall of Light was Anqiluo. It would be very difficult for Anqiluo alone to defend the Hall of Light!
"It is not heaven that wants to destroy your Hall of Light, but the Hall of Light is destroying itself."
"I originally gave your Hall of Light a chance to breathe, but since you and the Second High Priest did not know how to behave, there is nothing I can do but eliminate you."
"In the future, if the people controlling the Inner Hall are still part of the war faction, I will continue to eliminate them until the peace faction comes to power!"
Ye Cangtian's gaze swept over the First High Priest, and he spoke coldly.
After the commotion caused by the First and Second Elders, Ye Cangtian felt that his previous plan was a bit too simplistic.
To make the Hall of Light behave, it was not only necessary to conquer the outer hall but also the inner hall.
Therefore, this time, he had decided to kill them, to eliminate the two High Priests directly.
In this way, the control of the Inner Hall would most likely fall into Anqiluo's hands. And Anqiluo, having been implanted with a soul imprint by Nancy, was already considered one of his own.
Only then would the war between Huaxia and the Hall of Light truly cease.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian flashed and instantly appeared before the First High Priest, reaching out with his large hand.
"Hiss..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's sudden move, the First Elder gasped in shock.
He had no time to ponder Ye Cangtian's words and could only dodge with all his might. Fortunately, he narrowly avoided Ye Cangtian's attack.
Hmm?
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised. Although he hadn't used his full strength in that grab, it wasn't something an ordinary quasi-Heavenly realm expert could dodge.
The next instant, when he sensed the aura on the First High Priest's body, he immediately understood everything.
The First High Priest had been holding back before, but now that he was attacking without mercy, Ye Cangtian had pushed the First High Priest to his limits, forcing him to reveal his full combat power.
The aura surrounding the First High Priest had indeed reached the peak of the quasi-Heavenly realm.
In other words, his strength was the same as Ye Cangtian's before, but there was still a significant gap in their soul cultivation.
"No wonder you could dodge one of my attacks. So you're at the Great Perfection stage!"
A smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face. Fortunately, the other party had voluntarily revealed himself this time.
Otherwise, if the other party had secretly reached the Heavenly realm, it would have been quite a troublesome matter.
"Hmph! You should be grateful that I'm at the Great Perfection stage!"
"If I could reach the Heavenly realm, do you think you would still be my opponent?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the First High Priest snorted coldly. Seeing the smile on Ye Cangtian's face, he had already guessed Ye Cangtian's thoughts.
In response, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Before, I broke through to the Heavenly realm because the Pope became my whetstone. Now, if you have the resolve to die, I don't mind being your whetstone!"
"But you chose to run away earlier, and you've already lost in terms of courage. So, you probably won't achieve your wish today!"
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, the First High Priest snorted and said, "Don't speak to me with that condescending tone, who do you think you are!"
"Today, even if I have to stake my life, I will take you down with me!"
