The citizens of Shehli County City had been keeping a close watch on the City Lord's Manor ever since word spread that angels were inside. Now, as six four-winged angels rose into the air as one, cheers erupted across the streets — and the roar of the crowd drew even more onlookers.
Six four-winged angels — beings that ordinary mortals could only look up to in awe.
"What are those three black silhouettes? They actually dare to fight angels?" Many citizens also noticed the three dark figures about to clash with the six four-winged angels. In the blink of an eye, the people of Shehli County City burst into cheers once more —
Because those three dark silhouettes had already been surrounded by the six great four-winged angels.
"So fluid, and their coordination is truly impeccable." Lin Lei looked around with a faint smile. Moments ago, he had charged forward alongside Bei Bei and Hei Lu. To his surprise, the six four-winged angels had immediately retreated in various directions, and in the blink of an eye, they had formed an angel battle formation, enveloping Lin Lei, Bei Bei, and Hei Lu within it.
The six four-winged angels occupied six points, and their holy angelic power formed a cage of blazing light.
"Roar~~" Bei Bei slashed a claw at one of the four-winged angels. The white holy power cage shuddered violently — but it did not collapse.
Lin Lei sighed inwardly. This angel battle formation was indeed formidable. They were merely six mid-stage Saint Realm angels, yet when arrayed in this angel battle formation, not even Bei Bei's claws — which could match Hederson's 'Earth Rift' head-on — could break through.
"That magical beast is powerful. Be careful!" one of the four-winged angels immediately shouted.
At the same time, a blinding beam of light shot from this angel straight up into the sky. When it reached its apex... the dazzling radiance exploded outward. In an instant, the brilliance was so intense that every citizen in Shehli County City had their eyes dazzled.
After a brief moment, the people rubbed their eyes and craned their necks upward, struggling to continue watching the battle unfold.
"Summoning Wooseno?" Lin Lei said, glancing at the six angels surrounding him.
"Hmph, Lin Lei, you're dead for certain this time," one of the angels declared confidently. "Once the Chief Judge arrives, you won't even have a chance to flee."
"So it really is Wooseno." Lin Lei's gaze turned cold.
"You think you can stand against the Chief Judge?" The six four-winged angels were all cold and arrogant. They knew full well the terrifying power Wooseno possessed.
The six four-winged angels maintained their stern expressions as dense, fearsome Light Holy Power began converging toward one of the angels. Lin Lei knew they were pooling their energy for a single devastating strike. He shook his head and let out a cold, indifferent smile.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Lei's body flickered and he materialized before one of the four-winged angels. The white Light Divine Power on that angel's body flared to life instantly. "How laughable." The angel was supremely confident. According to their intelligence, Lin Lei's strength was on par with Hederson's at most — and certainly no greater than that magical beast called Bei Bei.
If even Bei Bei couldn't break the angel battle formation, how could Lin Lei?
A hint of mockery flickered through Lin Lei's eyes. If he wasn't confident, would they have deliberately walked into this angel battle formation?
"Boom!" The Blackjade Heavy Sword slammed into the Light Holy Power shield.
A terrifying wave of vibration instantly transferred into the four-winged angel's body. The extreme-frequency oscillations turned the angel's internal organs to mush in an instant. Forget about him — even Hederson himself would have been gravely wounded taking this strike.
The angel who had been so confident just moments before turned deathly pale. Blood gushed ceaselessly from his ears, nose, and mouth. The light in his eyes died in a flash, and his entire body crumbled from the sky like a sack of rotting meat, slamming into the ground and sending up a plume of dust.
Earth's Mysteries — 150-Layered Vibration Wave!
This was Lin Lei's current limit!
"Last time it was six angels, and this time it's six again..." Lin Lei smiled coldly. "The angel battle formation is useless against me. It's a pity the six angels who died last time can't warn you."
These 150-Layered Vibration Waves were far more powerful than when he had sparred with Hederson back then. Even someone with Hederson's defenses would likely crumble after taking just two hits.
"Impossible?!" The remaining five four-winged angels were still reeling in shock. They hadn't even sensed any disturbance in their Holy Power before their companion was dead. And at that moment, Bei Bei and Hei Lu had already transformed into streaks of black lightning —
"Shriek~~" A piercing cry rang across the heavens.
"Thud~~" One four-winged angel tried to dodge, but against Bei Bei's speed — which had been enhanced by the 'Wind Shadow Technique' to what could only be described as 'terrifying' — he had absolutely no way to resist. Those razor-sharp claws tore straight through his chest and ripped out his heart.
With just three swipes of his claws, three four-winged angels plummeted from the sky one after another, their blood staining the ground red.
"Boom!" Hei Lu also killed a four-winged angel.
"Mm..." Lin Lei's body seemed to transform into the wind, drifting and unpredictable. The Blackjade Heavy Sword alternated between rapid strikes and languid arcs... and the blade of the Blackjade Heavy Sword actually manifested a spatial edge, finally cleaving down onto the head of the four-winged angel who was desperately trying to dodge, splitting the angel cleanly in two.
Wind's Mysteries — Wind's Rhythm.
"Using the Blackjade Heavy Sword with Wind's Mysteries does weaken the power somewhat." Lin Lei looked at the corpses on the ground and smiled faintly.
Whether it was Earth's Mysteries or Wind's Mysteries, either could be executed with fists or other weapons — only the effects would differ. When using the Blackjade Heavy Sword to perform 'Wind's Rhythm,' the power was only about half of what it would be with the Purple Blood Flexible Sword. It was roughly on par with executing the same move using a palm knife.
It sounds slow when described.
In reality, after Lin Lei used 'Earth's Mysteries' to kill one of the four-winged angels, it was only the blink of an eye before the remaining five were cut down by Bei Bei, Hei Lu, and Lin Lei. The corpses of all six angels lay scattered across the ground.
"How... how..."
"No... impossible."
Countless citizens of Shehli County City witnessed this scene. The angels — those supreme beings they regarded as 'the Lord's messengers'! And yet six four-winged angels had been slaughtered by three dark silhouettes in the blink of an eye.
A dark blue-black aura of energy rolled and churned across Lin Lei's body as he hovered suspended in midair.
