Chapter 356: Execution and the Cult Leader Talent
“How long have you been in this world? How did you master so many weird methods and treasures?”
However, before Ji Ye did anything else, Fang La had opened his mouth on the altar.
Then, he slowly stood up and turned around, simply letting the Holy Fire Badge in midair drop to the ground.
It was because the illusionary statue in front of him had been fully materialized.
“Are you disappointed?
“Yesterday, I already figured out your purpose, so I made full preparations. The array that I asked the National Advisor to set up in the forest and the pillars that you just extinguished don’t matter to me at all. They’re just meant to buy me more time to condense the Holy Body.”
It was impossible to see Fang La’s face that was covered in the materialized statue of Holy Fire.
However, Ji Ye could totally imagine that the Saint Master of the South must be wearing a proud expression at this moment.
The man was probably eager to see how awful Ji Ye’s own face would become!
However, Ji Ye’s reaction was destined to disappoint him.
There was no change to his facial expression at all, except when he slightly frowned after seeing the blackened surface of the Yellow Mallet whose power had run out.
“Perhaps there’s really a god behind your back.
“However, you shouldn’t have come to the domain of another god, because in this place, I can fully carry out the power of the Holy Fire. I am the living embodiment of light and Holy Fire!”
Fang La was apparently displeased by Ji Ye’s reaction, but he was still talking with great confidence.
Although he was indeed disrupted by Ji Ye, he had successfully absorbed almost ninety percent of the Holy Fire in the Lord of Light’s statue.
While he was covered in the materialized holy statue that could dissolve any kind of energy, he would be invulnerable and could cast the power of a real god in his attacks!
Even though Ji Ye had arrived in this world earlier and acquired a lot of treasures, he was still incomparable to him.
“The Holy Fire will burn…”
The white fingertip of the holy statue was raised, and Ji Ye was reflected in it as Fang La began to chant and was ready to use the weird method that could make his targets ablaze!
Whoosh!
However, before he finished his spell, black smoke already popped up from Ji Ye’s head and covered him, making it hard for Fang La to lock onto him.
Following that, he activated the power of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, which he took out when he stored the Yellow Mallet back. He created almost ten identical Ji Yes and charged at Fang La.
Although he didn’t have enough Dragon Aura to use the Mirage Cloud Mirror, he could still create illusions with the Extraordinary function of the treasure!
“Like moths darting towards fire!”
Faced with all the Ji Yes, who were identical to one another, in the black smoke, Fang La roared and stood still as a great amount of bright liquid flames spread out in all directions.
Thump…
Fang La, covered in the holy statue, did seem invulnerable. The black smoke that covered Ji Ye’s body was burnt up the moment he approached Fang La. Even the mirage that the illusions were made of was ignited and destroyed too.
Ji Ye could hardly resist the high temperature of the liquid white flames even though he had the Sunbathing talent and the ultimate-yang inner strength. His clothes were set on fire, and even his skin and muscles were blackened!
Although Fang La wasn’t as agile as before in the middle of the holy statue, and he seemed unable to perform Universal Shifting, he did not look worried at all.
It was obvious that Ji Ye couldn’t hurt him even if he approached him. More likely, the man would’ve been burnt to death by the Holy Fire if he tried to approach!
That might have happened if the black and white light didn’t suddenly radiate from Ji Ye.
Hum!
The white light was a combination of the Healing talent and the Power of Dragon Valiance. The black light, however, wasn’t the Black Cloud Golden Armor Air that he had just picked up. Instead, it was a saber that was completely black and wasn’t illuminated even though Fang La was shining like a one-megawatt light bulb!
It was the Soul Cutter!
Clang!
His hand that was covered in the glow of the Healing talent seized the Soul Cutter.
“Ah! Ah…”
The power of souls on the Soul Cutter was quickly thawed by the materialized Holy Fire. Cries of ghosts could vaguely be heard.
However, the Soul Cutter didn’t fade at all, and Ji Ye slashed it at Fang La who had just clumsily turned around and attempted to attack him with fists!
Although the Transcendent power of the Holy Fire that could transform all other powers was remarkable, the Yellow Mallet’s attack on the Holy Fire Badge had proved that there was an upper limit to such a Transcendent power.
Perhaps Ji Ye couldn’t go beyond the upper limit with his own attacks…
The Yellow Mallet, which contained too little Transcendent power, couldn’t surpass the upper limit either.
However, the Soul Cutter could!
Ever since he executed the captain of the Ghostship with the saber, Ji Ye had never used it in a battle again.
Every time a creature died within a certain distance, their soul power would be absorbed and accumulated in this weapon, which contained Transcendent power, so that its next attack would be strengthened.
During the battle on this day, thousands of people had died, including the Daoist Commanders such as Bao Daoyi and Zheng Biao. As a result, the power of the saber had been raised to such a level that it almost became Transcendent!
Pew!
Therefore, in the next moment, while pride and confidence still lingered on his face, the condensed statue of fire around him was cut into halves, and so were his body and his soul!
[“You have executed Fang La (Extraordinary Rank-9, Quasi Boss). EXP received: 6,905. Honor received: 500. Rare Honor: 47. Civilization Coins: 8,948!”]
Exactly like what happened after Bao Daoyi died, the same bright yellow power of providence erupted from Fang La towards the settlement core of the Twin Dragon Island. It was ten times bigger than Bao Daoyi’s!
After that, white and silver light that represented a great number of spoils appeared in the cavern.
Fang La’s body alone had presented four glittering light balls.
One of the light balls was an alternative “talent”, exactly like what the captain of the Ghostship had dropped earlier.
