"Oh, really?"
Xie Bi'an's pale face broke into a smile as he looked at Fan Wujiu beside him and said, "The one closest to that brat dies."
Gao Lei saw this and roared, "How dare you..."
Fan Wujiu didn't stop his hand, tightening his grip.
In the distance, the chains wrapped around the person closest to Yu Daochen quickly tightened.
The sound of bones shattering was heard, and the person began to scream miserably, blood flowing from the corners of his eyes and mouth.
Yu Daochen's brows furrowed as he watched, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Hearing his companion's wails, Gao Lei's heart was in turmoil, and he roared, "Stop, stop it, or we'll perish together!"
Xie Bi'an's expression was blank, without even a hint of emotional fluctuation.
The chains tightened further, finally reaching the limit of human endurance.
*Pfft~*
The man split directly in half, his lower body falling to the ground, organs and blood spilling out in a gruesome display.
Even the seasoned Yu Daochen couldn't help but close his eyes.
The other members of the Divine Religion turned pale with fright.
Gao Lei looked at the scene and became enraged, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
Fan Wujiu looked at Seventh Brother, who still had a blank expression.
Xie Bi'an looked at Gao Lei and slowly said, "Are you willing to talk now?"
Gao Lei panted heavily with anger and shouted, "Dream on!"
"Good."
Xie Bi'an simply replied with one word, then looked at Fan Wujiu beside him and said, "Still, the one closest to that brat dies!"
Fan Wujiu nodded and was about to control the chains when he heard Gao Lei in front of him begging, "I'll talk, I'll talk, quickly release my companion."
Xie Bi'an chuckled and looked at the terrified apostles of the Divine Religion, saying.
"Didn't I hear that the people of the Divine Religion are a bunch of fearless lunatics? Why are they all looking so scared now?"
Fan Wujiu looked at Xie Bi'an, filled with admiration.
It seemed these people still needed Seventh Brother.
Xie Bi'an walked slowly to Gao Lei's front, his voice cold, "Speak, what is your status in the Divine Religion?"
Gao Lei looked at Xie Bi'an and couldn't help but swallow. At this moment, he felt an involuntary fear and answered truthfully, "I am a trusted subordinate of the Left Emissary."
Hearing this, Fan Wujiu behind him became angry, "Damn it, didn't you say you were the third person in the Divine Religion?"
"This..." Gao Lei didn't know how to answer.
He wasn't actually ranked third in the Divine Religion, but he was within the top seven.
Xie Bi'an didn't care about these details and continued to ask, "Where is your main base?"
Hearing this sensitive question, Gao Lei immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, Xie Bi'an didn't force him. Instead, he looked at Fan Wujiu behind him and said coldly, "Kill all the people from the Divine Religion here!"
Hearing this, Fan Wujiu nodded and was about to control the chains.
Gao Lei, seeing this, quickly shouted, "I'll tell you!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Bi'an signaled Fan Wujiu to stop.
"Speak," Xie Bi'an said calmly.
Gao Lei swallowed and began to speak, "Our main base is in Xiang..."
As soon as Gao Lei uttered a few words, his body began to swell rapidly.
"Not good!"
Xie Bi'an shouted, turned sharply, formed a hand seal, and muttered, "Earth Fiend, Extreme Yin Shield!"
Suddenly, black energy emerged from beneath Yu Daochen's feet, forming a black energy shield that enveloped him.
"Seventh Brother, quickly leave!" Fan Wujiu suddenly shouted.
*Boom!*
Gao Lei and the others from the Divine Religion instantly self-destructed.
Yu Daochen, hiding within the energy shield, let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Seventh Brother's shield came in time, otherwise, he would have truly been finished.
But then again, why did so many people from the Divine Religion like to self-destruct?
A moment later, the energy shield dissipated. Yu Daochen looked at the surrounding scene, his face filled with shock.
The area within a hundred-meter radius had been leveled.
He then looked towards Xie Bi'an's location, where a sphere formed by chains slowly opened.
Xie Bi'an spat out a mouthful of black blood, clutching his waist.
He was clearly heavily injured.
Xie Bi'an looked in one direction and said, "That person didn't escape!"
Hearing this, Fan Wujiu tightened his chains and prepared to pursue, but was stopped by Xie Bi'an beside him. "I'll handle this person. You protect that brat."
"But your injuries..." Before Fan Wujiu could finish speaking, Xie Bi'an interrupted him, "My injuries are fine."
After speaking, Xie Bi'an's body erupted with ghostly energy, and the wound on his waist gradually disappeared.
Watching Xie Bi'an's injuries heal, Fan Wujiu looked astonished. "Seventh Brother, you..."
Xie Bi'an stomped on the ground and chased after them, leaving behind a single sentence, "Protect that brat well!"
Watching Xie Bi'an chase after them, Fan Wujiu glared at Yu Daochen and strode over.
Yu Daochen looked at Fan Wujiu's expression, completely bewildered.
What the heck, it seemed he hadn't offended him.
Fan Wujiu walked up to Yu Daochen and said indignantly, "Kid, why don't you have any means of self-preservation?"
"This..."
Yu Daochen looked somewhat innocent. "Eighth Master Fan, I am currently a soul. Even if I had means of self-preservation, I couldn't use them."
"That's true, I suppose."
Fan Wujiu nodded, then said indignantly again, "If it weren't for my Seventh Brother saving you this time, you would have been scattered into ashes. You must thank him properly, understand?"
Yu Daochen felt speechless.
Brother, would this have happened if you hadn't captured me?
Although Yu Daochen thought this in his heart, he smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand, I will definitely thank Seventh Master properly."
Hearing this, Fan Wujiu nodded with satisfaction.
Yu Daochen looked at Fan Wujiu's demeanor and shook his head helplessly.
Rumor had it that Black and White Impermanence were like brothers, and seeing them today, it was indeed true.
On the other side.
Xie Bi'an pursued in the direction of the forest.
Suddenly, a fleeing figure appeared ahead.
"Found you," Xie Bi'an's lips curved upwards, and his speed increased.
The figure ahead glanced back at Xie Bi'an behind him and also quickened its pace.
The two chased each other like this.
The figure seemed to be doing it intentionally, maintaining a speed that Xie Bi'an couldn't catch up to, but also keeping him within sight.
After an unknown amount of time chasing, Xie Bi'an summoned his mourning stick, condensed a wisp of black energy on his finger, and slashed out: "Earth Fiend, Ghost God Four Directions Slash!"
"Ghost God Four Directions Slash?"
The figure ahead murmured the name, a smile appearing on its lips as it slowed down.
Just as the sword energy approached, the figure suddenly turned, looking at the sword energy that was almost upon him. With a grin, he condensed a wisp of golden light with his finger and touched the incoming sword energy.
The moment the sword energy came into contact with the golden energy, it froze in mid-air, as if time had stopped.
