The crowd panicked, their heads swinging back and forth like a pendulum out of control, looking around, eager to find the source of the sound. Their eyes were filled with panic and fear, like lambs lost in a dark and dangerous forest, so helpless and confused.
Soon, several figures appeared in their sight. Almost at the same moment, everyone in the square's eyes, like iron needles attracted by a magnet, were all cast on the young man in the lead.
The young man had a gloomy face, like the sky covered with dark clouds before a storm, with heavy haze and no sunshine. There was no emotion on his face, like a cold and ruthless marble statue, motionless and lifeless. However, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, which seemed to be able to freeze a person's soul in an instant, making him fall into an ice cave forever, unable to be freed.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the originally peaceful void emitted a sharp tremor, and the sound seemed to be the entire space groaning in pain and shouting in despair. Then, the ground began to shake violently, and the amplitude of the shaking was like a super earthquake, strong and violent. In this sudden and violent shaking, people could not stand firmly at all, and staggered from side to side, looking miserable.
Then, a series of deafening explosions suddenly rang in the ears of everyone. The sound was like the death knell of doomsday, making their ears buzz. Their minds instantly went blank, and their thoughts seemed to be completely shattered by the loud noise and turned into nothingness.
"What happened?" Everyone in the square tried their best to keep steady, their voices filled with fear that was difficult to conceal. Their voices trembled like leaves in the wind, and every word was filled with fear of the unknown and extreme anxiety.
"Look!" A voice so sharp that it almost pierced the sky broke the brief and suffocating silence.
"This...this is impossible!" Someone cried out in despair. The sound was like the scream of a soul being torn apart, full of disbelief and deep despair.
Some of the strong men who were located at the heights outside the square and those who had reached the Saint Realm quickly soared into the air. When their eyes clearly caught the scene happening around them, their expressions froze instantly, as if time had stopped at this moment. Their brows were filled with deep astonishment, and their eyes seemed to say that they simply could not believe the nightmare-like scenes before their eyes. Their eyes were as big as copper bells, as if they were about to break free from the constraints of their eye sockets and jump out directly.
Seeing the faces of the powerful Saints flying high into the sky suddenly change, more and more people in the square began to climb up to the heights regardless of everything. The wind-attribute magicians did not hesitate to use the flying spell directly, just to stay in the air for a short time and find out what was going on. Their movements were hurried and panicked, like a flock of sheep being chased by hungry wolves, their hearts filled with fear of the unknown.
When they finally saw the horrifying scene happening in the Holy See, their expressions were exactly the same as those of the Saint Domain masters, or even more exaggerated. They were dumbfounded, as if their brains had instantly lost the ability to control their words and actions. They stood there like wooden logs, motionless, just staring blankly ahead with their eyes wide open, as if their souls had left their bodies.
The Holy See of Light, this magnificent building located in the west of Fenlai City, covers an area of tens of thousands of acres. It was once an extremely magnificent and breathtaking complex of buildings, filled with an atmosphere of sacredness, inviolability and solemnity.
But at this moment, without any warning, a huge explosion occurred in every corner of the Holy See of Light. Under the impact of this violent explosion, the magnificent buildings instantly turned into nothingness and dissipated directly into the endless void, without even a trace left. The scene was like the coming of the end of the world, which made people tremble with fear and tremble with the soul.
Boom!
Distant above the sky, a low and heavy sound of footsteps rang out. The sound seemed to be the angry roar of a giant beast from ancient times. It brought with it endless majesty and earth-shattering power, shaking everyone's hearts and making their souls tremble.
As Jiang Han's seemingly casual kick landed, the tens of thousands of acres of the Church of Light suddenly burst into a dazzling light that was too bright for people to look at directly. In that light, one could faintly hear the miserable screams of countless people, but the sound was fleeting, as if it had never existed. That light, like the splendor and violence of the sun exploding, made it impossible for people to look directly at it. Even a brief glance was enough to make people blind.
When the dazzling light that frightened people disappeared and the people in the square were finally able to see everything around them clearly again, they couldn't help but take a deep breath, and their whole bodies instantly became numb, as if they were frozen in the long river of time. Their bodies seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible force, unable to move at all.
"The Holy See of Light is gone... gone!" Someone trembled and squeezed out these words with difficulty from between his teeth. Every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength, full of despair and disbelief.
"It's him, it must be him!" Another person stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at Jiang Han, his voice filled with deep fear.
"Who is he?" More people asked this question, their eyes full of confusion and awe. It was the fear of unknown power and the awe of incomprehensible existence.
Looking at the once glorious Church of Light, which has now become a ruin of tens of thousands of acres, to be precise, it is no longer the Church of Light, but a dead ruin. The strong men gradually came back to their senses from the initial trance, and their eyes were fixed on the demon-like figure in the sky. Deep fear appeared in their eyes, with undisguised fear. Their hearts were filled with awe of Jiang Han's powerful and frightening power. The Church of Light, one of the top forces in Yulan Continent, was once like an unshakable mountain in people's hearts, indestructible. However, it turned into a ruin in just a few breaths. All this happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that they were caught off guard and had no time to react. They once firmly believed that the Church of Light was an eternal existence and an authority that no one could challenge. However, at this moment, in front of Jiang Han's destructive power, the Church of Light seemed so vulnerable, as fragile as a candle in the wind.
Moreover, today is the most important missionary day for the Church of Light. This should have been a sacred moment for the Church of Light to show the world its supreme authority and glory. However, it was unexpected that on this day, the huge Church of Light would be destroyed in an instant. This special day should have been a moment for the Church of Light to shine and be admired by everyone, but it turned out to be its doomsday, its eternal end.
The tens of thousands of believers who once lived in the Church of Light also became part of the ruins along with the collapsed buildings. The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, which was so strong that it made people sick and terrified to the extreme. The breath of death was like a heavy haze, covering this land that was once considered sacred and inviolable, making people feel extremely depressed and desperate, as if the whole world had fallen into endless darkness.
"Your Holiness, the Holy See is gone..." The faces of the cardinals suddenly turned ashen, lifeless. Their voices trembled, full of despair and helplessness, as if they were the walking dead whose souls had been taken away. Not only them, but also the other high-ranking officials of the Holy See on the high platform, all seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue, with faces at a loss, as if struck by thunder and lightning, and dumbfounded, like clay sculptures or wooden figures. They stared at the ruins in front of them, unable to accept this extremely cruel reality.
"You... you are the leader of Jiangmen!" Pope Hastings suppressed his fear and slowly came into the air. He first glanced at the dusty ruins around him, then took a long breath, trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart that almost swallowed him. He stared at Jiang Han vigilantly. At this moment, his whole body was as tense as an extremely hard stone, and every muscle was stiff due to extreme tension. His heart sank as if it was filled with heavy cold lead, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. Although his eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, as the Pope, he still tried to maintain the last bit of dignity and majesty.
"Master Jiangmen, it turns out that he is the Master Jiangmen who has disappeared for ten years!" Someone said as if he had suddenly realized something, his voice full of shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible! Isn't it said that the leader of the Jiang Clan is just a powerful Saint Realm warrior? Look, is this something a Saint Realm warrior can do?" another person questioned, his voice full of disbelief, as if everything before his eyes was just an unreal nightmare.
"Could it be that he has become a god like the God of War and the High Priest?" Someone speculated in awe, with a tone of deep fear and awe of the unknown power.
"In this case, wouldn't Haitings and others be in danger?" More people began to worry about the fate of Haitings and others. Their eyes shifted back and forth between Jiang Han and Haitings, their hearts filled with anticipation and fear of what was about to happen.
The atmosphere in the square was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
"Who! Who is speaking?" This trembling and extremely frightened voice echoed slowly in the huge square, like a frightened hare desperately shouting in the deserted wilderness, the voice was full of deep fear and endless doubts. Everyone seemed to be controlled by invisible threads, and their bodies shivered involuntarily. The gusts of cold wind that came from nowhere and swept over were like extremely cold and sharp blades, blowing ruthlessly and cruelly on their bodies. This coldness, like a sharp ice cone, penetrated every inch of skin and invaded every cell, making them feel as if they were in a deep cave of ten thousand years of cold, and the whole person was shrouded in this coldness from the inside out.
Especially the murderous intent that seemed to be everywhere and surging like a stormy sea, was like the sharp and poisonous claws of a demon, tightly strangling their hearts. This strong and suffocating sense of oppression made it difficult for them to breathe, and their originally steady and strong heartbeats instantly became rapid and disordered, like a rapidly beating, rhythmless war drum, and every beat was accompanied by extreme panic.
The crowd panicked, their heads swinging wildly like a pendulum out of control, their eyes looking around anxiously, wishing to find the source of the sound immediately. Their eyes were full of panic and fear, like lambs lost in a dark and dangerous forest, so helpless and confused. The fear in their eyes seemed to be condensed into substance, and people could feel the extreme fear in their hearts at a glance.
Soon, several figures appeared in their sight like ghosts. Almost at the same moment, the eyes of everyone in the square were like iron needles attracted by a strong magnet, all cast on the young man in the lead.
The young man had a gloomy face, like the sky before a storm, which was covered with dark clouds and without a single ray of sunshine. It was so gloomy that it was daunting. There was no emotion on his face, as if he was a cold, ruthless, lifeless marble statue, motionless, as if nothing in the world could stir up a ripple on his face. However, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, which seemed to be able to freeze a person's soul in an instant, and make him fall into an ice cave forever, unable to be freed. The coldness was like solid ice that had not melted for thousands of years. Just by looking at it, people felt the coldness rushing from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the void, which was originally as quiet as a sleeping beast, emitted a sharp and piercing tremor. The sound seemed to be the entire space groaning in pain and shouting in despair. The pain in the sound seemed to penetrate the human soul and make people's hearts tremble. Then, the ground began to shake violently. The amplitude of the shaking was like a super earthquake, strong and violent, as if the earth was roaring in anger. People could not stand firm in this sudden and violent shaking. They staggered and were in a mess. Some people fell directly to the ground, while others collided with each other. The whole square fell into chaos in an instant.
Then, a series of deafening explosions suddenly rang in everyone's ears. The sound was like the death knell of doomsday, bringing with it endless destruction and despair. (End of this chapter)
