263: Chapter 263 What kind of monster is this?

"May I ask if you are a newly appointed Star Cult Priest? Why have you gone to such great lengths to find me?" Leng You said in a deep, eerie voice.

Seeing that the other party did not respond immediately, he added, "I have previously conducted some transactions with your Star Cult. Even if you want me dead, please let me die knowing why..."

However, the person in the white robe remained indifferent.

Soon, she slowly raised her hand, and countless black Qi condensed into a massive black vortex, surging directly toward Leng You.

This was a special product of the combination of the Breath of the Abyss and Xing Yaoyan's unique Astral Power, possessing extremely strong corrosive properties. She had once used this move to instantly kill a Vicious Beast of the same rank.

This time, the fused Breath of the Abyss was more abundant and stronger, making its corrosiveness greater and its momentum even more terrifying.

Xing Yaoyan didn't care about any of that; her only purpose in coming here was this guy's pathetic life! Speaking even one extra word would be a disrespect to her own desire for revenge.

However, to her surprise, under such a powerful attack, Leng You remained sitting quietly in his original spot, as if he had been scared silly.

But Xing Yaoyan knew that, given his personality, he would absolutely not just sit there and wait for death.

Sure enough!

Just as she was about to strike the target, four beams of red light representing malice suddenly lit up on all sides of the room in Xing Yaoyan's Malice Perception.

The next moment, a broad figure instantly appeared in front of Leng You, standing with a shield raised before him as a fifth-rank spiritual power fluctuation erupted.

The black vortex slammed hard against the giant shield, spreading outward, with the aftershocks hitting the walls and stirring up ripples of spiritual power.

Over there, Secretary Wu Ming tried his best to lower his center of gravity, crossing his hands tightly in front of him, barely managing not to be blown away by the shockwave.

"Tsk..."

Xing Yaoyan knew her attack had been completely blocked. She didn't know if the opponent's shield was his Superpower or made of some special material, but the spiritual power attached to it was very difficult to absorb. Her attack hadn't achieved its intended effect.

She didn't have time to see who had come to the rescue, because there were four beams of red light from Malice Perception...

The moment her attack was blocked, Xing Yaoyan hurriedly lowered her head, took a step, and dodged to the side, smoothly evading three energy arrows shot from behind.

But it wasn't over yet. Before she could steady herself, two sharp, prickling sensations suddenly struck from behind.

The two attackers had clearly seized the opportunity when she hadn't yet adjusted after dodging, intending to kill her instantly with thunderous momentum.

But the corners of Xing Yaoyan's mouth curled slightly, thinking to herself that they had come at the perfect time.

"Mist Form!"

The next moment, two long blades flashing with spiritual pressure passed directly through the figure in the white robe, striking the ground with undiminished force. The power was so great that it actually cracked the floor, which was made of special alloy, into a spiderweb pattern.

"Is that it? I thought they were supposed to be tough~ But I have to say, the Star Cult is becoming increasingly in decline; even a mere fourth-rank can become a Priest now..."

The black vortex slowly dissipated. The effeminate man sitting on the sofa stood up, looking somewhat bored, and brushed the dust off his shoulders as he spoke.

"Big guy, you're blocking my view. Get out of the way."

He suddenly kicked forward, and the massive figure who had just saved him stumbled.

However, the other party had no other reaction to this, instead obediently moving a few more steps to the side.

"Mayor... they..."

Having broken free from control, Secretary Wu Ming looked at everything happening before him with lingering fear, selectively ignoring Leng You's ungrateful behavior. His current state of mind was truly like having just ascended from Hell to Heaven.

Not to mention why he had inexplicably brought in a Star Cult Priest, when had these four experts hidden in this safe house!

Moreover, it looked like the assassins had been instantly killed, as the attacks had dissipated. Truly worthy of being the Mayor!

Leng You gave him a gloomy look, scaring Secretary Wu Ming into shutting his mouth immediately, not daring to ask anything more.

Seeing the dust slowly settle, Leng You kicked the big guy beside him again, signaling him to check the situation.

Meanwhile, a figure holding a longbow appeared silently behind him, with special energy arrows ready to be fired, protecting his safety.

"Thump..." This was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Leng You smiled; it seemed it was over.

"Thump!" This was the second sound.

No, that's not right...

He hurriedly looked toward the center of the scene.

He saw the Star Cult Priest walking out of the dust completely unharmed. She shook the blood off her claws somewhat leisurely, while two headless corpses on the ground behind her were faintly visible in the dust.

His two fifth-rank Death Servants were gone...

"You..."

If Leng You hadn't taken this Star Cult Priest, whom he had never known before, very seriously at first, he was truly taking her seriously now.

"I have always been quite cooperative with your Star Cult's activities in Youfeng City, haven't I? I shouldn't have offended you..."

Just in the gap while Leng You was speaking, alarm bells rang instantly in Xing Yaoyan's mind.

She suddenly leaned back at an incredible angle.

The next moment, a nearly invisible, tiny arrow flew past, almost grazing her body, and shot into the wall with a huge explosion. The storm caused by the explosion blew her white robe, making it flap loudly.

Xing Yaoyan bared her teeth, revealing her sharp fangs. Her temper flared up.

Playing dirty, huh! Fortunately, her concentration had been focused, and combined with Malice Perception, that was why she hadn't let his sneak attack succeed.

But it wasn't over yet. Almost the instant she dodged, the big guy who had been only a few steps away from her suddenly moved.

He raised the giant shield in his hands high, with massive spiritual power surging. Although the shield hadn't come crashing down yet, Xing Yaoyan beneath it felt as if the ground had sunken a few centimeters, as if the shield were imbued with the weight of a thousand catties.

"Hmph..."

Xing Yaoyan scoffed in her heart.

The next moment, a barely visible trace of red appeared within the black Qi on her body.

She suddenly raised her hands and grabbed upward. Although her seemingly slender arms were pressed down slightly by the immense impact, she actually managed to forcefully hold up the giant shield, which was taller than she was.

The big guy's expression didn't change at all, seemingly unsurprised by this. By contrast, Leng You's mouth instantly dropped open, as if he couldn't understand why the other party could withstand such an attack.

The force coming from the giant shield gradually increased, firmly pinning down this Star Cult Priest. Meanwhile, the archer behind Leng You had also re-condensed an arrow, preparing for the final strike.

"You guys must be the ones most thoroughly subjected to his Soul Washing..." Xing Yaoyan's red lips parted slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

Suddenly, she saw a flash of hidden struggle and pleading in the big guy's eyes, and the force on the giant shield that had been gradually increasing also weakened abnormally.

"Then let me help you find release..."

Sensing the other party's intent, Xing Yaoyan took the opportunity to activate "Mist Form." After her whole body eerily passed through the opponent, she reached out and clawed backward, directly piercing the big guy's chest and crushing his heart.

In the eyes of Secretary Wu Ming, who was watching from the side, the Star Cult Priest had flickered before his eyes for an instant, then abruptly passed through the big guy, and then a large splash of blood suddenly burst from the big guy's chest, his life completely extinguished.

Wasn't it said that whether human or demon, everyone only has one ability? It was one thing that she had just displayed unimaginable strength, but how could she also have a strange teleportation blink... No, wait, she also had an ability to hide in shadows at the beginning...

Now she had already displayed three abilities!

What kind of monster is this...
