At these words, the three monks’ hearts all trembled.
Three monks looked at each other, their hearts pounding.
At this point, they are essentially out of options.
Fang Yu hadn’t made a move yet, but the girl ahead of him who was burning with crimson flames was equally dangerous.
These mages were as weak and helpless as ants before the winged girl.
And the girl was currently staring at them, her eyes burning with fury, as if she were about to charge forward at any moment.
If she doesn’t agree to Fang Yu’s request, there is only one way out: death.
As temple mages, they had already made a pact with their patron deity.
Once they betray the temple of the gods, they will suffer the most extreme torment in the world and ultimately die a horrible death.
Although Fang Yu before them was powerful, the Twelve-Winged Archgod and the abilities of the Pantheon… these divine mages were well aware of it too.
Therefore, all that stood before the three temple mages… were two paths to death.
All things, vertically and horizontally, are dead.
At this moment, the three monks’ faces were pale, their hearts filled with fear and remorse.
For so many years, they, as temple mages, established churches throughout the Western Regions, living a life of luxury and being revered and served by countless disciples.
Never would I have imagined that one day, I would find myself in such a dire situation!
“Well, how are you feeling about it?” Fang Yu looked at the three mages with a smile.
Three monks’ faces were pale, and their bodies trembled.
They have no choice!
No matter what you choose, it’s a dead end!
“This should be an easy choice to make,” Fang Yu said nonchalantly, “I’ll give you ten seconds to consider.”
After that, Fang Yu said nothing more.
Time flows silently.
The strange creatures pouring out of the various portals were now in considerable numbers, filling the heavens and earth.
They stared straight at Fang Yu and Honglian, releasing waves of chilling killing intent.
However, even though the number of these strange creatures was large, Fang Yu’s attention wasn’t on them.
He had exterminated too many such alien creatures before. With enough experience, he no longer cared.
Fang Yu now just wants to see what kind of choice these three mages will make.
For him, killing these three temple mages held no value whatsoever.
And if they could guide us to the Pantheon, it would save a lot of time.
Therefore, he hoped that the three mages would make the right choice.
Of course, even if they were unwilling to lead the way, Fang Yu would also try to use his own methods to view the memories of the three mages and thus obtain the location of the Pantheon.
Ten seconds, it passed quickly.
“Time’s up.” Fang Yu said.
“We… will never betray the Temple of Gods, nor our God! You two dare to defy the divine beings, you shall be punished by heavenly retribution!” The two mages snarled, their faces contorted with rage, and raised their staffs simultaneously.
“Whoosh!”
Two staffs simultaneously blazed with intense light.
“Hum…”
A burst of spatial power erupted, enveloping the bodies of these two individuals.
“Want to escape?” Fang Yu’s brow arched, and he slapped his right palm forward.
“Boom!”
The spatial power just released by the two mages was instantly shattered!
At the same time, a tremendous force struck their arms.
“Bang!”
Two mages, arms grasping their staffs, were both severed!
“Ah…”
They let out a bloodcurdling scream.
“Whew…”
And the next second, a fiery red wave surged towards them.
In the blink of an eye, both were consumed by the flames.
Amongst the crackling of flames, were heard the screams of the two mages, piercing and agonizing.
Fang Yu looked at Honglian, wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing.
Originally, he didn’t want to kill the two mages, but wanted to control them and then search their souls.
But now that they are all dead, it is pointless for him to say anything more.
Fang Yu could only turn his gaze to the last surviving paladin.
This man was also the middle-aged mage who started the fight.
At this moment, he was trembling like a sieve, his face pale and devoid of color, etched with pure terror.
Just now he was unmoved…it seems he’s starting to waver.
“Only you remain. What will you choose?” Fang Yu looked at the middle-aged mage and asked.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s voice, the middle-aged mage shuddered as if coming to his senses.
His eyes wavered, then hardened with resolve as he shouted, “I have a contract with the temple! If you can remove its influence on me, I will guide you!”
<<>>
And without me to guide you, you would have almost no chance of finding the Pantheon!
Hearing this, Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
From the frantic state of this mage, this must be his final struggle.
“Making a contract with the Temple of Gods means having a mark left inside your body. If you betray the Temple, the contract will be triggered and you’ll die.” Fang Yu thought to himself.
This situation was quite common before.
It’s quite normal and reasonable for the Temple of Gods to make such a pact with these mages.
As for breaking the contract… the principle should be similar to removing a mark.
So… all you have to do is use the Ruyi Qinglian.
Fang Yu looked at the mage and smiled faintly: “No problem, I can help you break this contract.”
“You, don’t spout nonsense! This is a covenant of the Pantheon, do you think you can just break it?!” The mage roared, his forehead bulging with veins and eyes bloodshot.
This hopeless situation, with no way out, had driven him to the brink of madness.
On one hand, he desperately wanted to live, but on the other hand, he felt that hope was slim!
“You don’t believe me, then you only have one path left to walk.” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “Believe me, there is still a glimmer of hope.”
The mage’s expression faltered.
He knew what Fang Yu said was true.
He and the other temple mages came here… because the main god wanted to punish them, have them come here to die!
Right now, the only thing left to do is trust Fang Yu!
The mage took a deep breath and flew directly towards Fang Yu.
He came before Fang Yu and threw the staff in his hand to the ground.
“You should have been this decisive long ago.” Fang Yu said.
And then he reached out with his right hand and seized the mage’s head.
“Whoosh!”
A faint azure aura emanated from the palm, flowing into the mage’s body.
The mage’s body trembled.
And then, the power of the Ruyi Qinglian entered his body.
Through his divine sense, Fang Yu’en could see within the mage’s body, there was indeed a trace of extremely faint aura.
This aura lay upon the mage’s heart, a palpable layer.
“So-called contracts are completed by bursting hearts, how primitive.” Fang Yu thought with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Such a contract would be a waste of Ruishi Qinglian’s talents.
The instant the power of Qinglian came into contact, the aura covering the surface of his heart was immediately erased.
“Alright,” Fang Yu said.
The mage was stunned.
He didn’t expect the process to be so fast.
“I’ve already removed the contract for you. Ready to lead the way?” Fang Yu said to the mage, “What’s your name?”
“I, I am the Exorcist Heart,” the mage replied, still in a daze.
After that greenish aura entered his body, he only felt comfort and nothing else.
As for whether the contract with the temple of the gods had been erased, he was even more clueless.
But right now… he could only trust Fang Yu.
After all, if he died, the other party wouldn’t benefit either.
“Clack clack clack…”
Just as Lan Xin was still stunned, it seemed that the myriad of strange creatures in this world received some kind of summons and suddenly let out a piercing cry together!
Their eyes, like those of vipers, fixed intently on Fang Yu and Honglian.
“Where did these monsters come from?” Fang Yu asked.
Lan Xin came back to her senses and turned to look at the strange creatures filling the sky. Her eyes widened in horror.
“These are the law-controlled corpses created by the temple…during this period of time,” Lan Xin murmured.
“‘Legal Corpse Cultivator’?” Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly, he asked, “Related to the missing and slaughtered creatures in the southern part of Xiwu region?”
“…Well, the Corpse Fiends are creatures forged from the hearts and flesh of those people. They lack independent consciousness and are merely controlled by the Temple…” Lan Xin replied, her face pale.
