Chapter 1309: Chapter 880: The Saint’s Revenge (Part 2)
...
Over the neon skies, from Hokkaido to Tokyo, a purple glow traveled south, stretching across thousands of miles.
An oppressive presence accompanied it.
Even though the entire nation of Neon had gone through numerous upheavals, leaving the people somewhat numb.
There were still many who chose to kneel in reverence before such a terrifying celestial phenomenon.
"Hmph, collecting faith? Dream on!"
Yong Xinglai looked at the towering statues rising along the way, his eyes seemingly aflame with sacred fire.
This damned thing!
If it weren’t for my connections in the Imperial City and getting an early warning, I would’ve been finished!
"I’m just using the power of the Evil God believers to break through myself! These Burning Legion demons are truly despicable! It’s all their ploy, can’t you see!"
Yong Xinglai seemed to be talking to himself, venting a certain anger without knowing to whom.
I have no way out now; the empire’s foundation is still intact, and to survive, I must abandon all my assets!
From being a landowner indulging in cultivation every day, enjoying the greatest benefits of a city, I’ve suddenly turned into a pauper.
Not to mention that Yong Xinglai’s Sacred Intent had vulnerabilities; even a normal Saint would probably have a mental breakdown.
Not yet near Tokyo, Yong Xinglai saw the majestic Nasalik Great Tomb ahead, hovering above Tokyo like a mountain.
Feeling the thick evil energy from afar, Yong Xinglai couldn’t help but snort.
"It’s truly the Burning Legion! These heretic demons, daring to look down on this Saint! Who gave you the audacity!"
As he roared, a small tower phantom seemed to appear behind Yong Xinglai.
Without giving any chance to react, he pointed a finger towards Nasalik in the void ahead.
Across a distance of at least a hundred miles, a colossal phantom finger descended from the sky, seemingly about to crash onto Nasalik!
Though the giant finger couldn’t compare in size to the Nasalik Great Tomb, it was still quite grand.
Even before making contact, the Nasalik Great Tomb started to tremble and creak under its influence.
The passive evil energy shield rose, thickly enveloping the entire mountain-like body.
But on the side facing that giant finger, it seemed to have little to no resistance.
The green evil energy shield, after severe depression on its surface, shattered with a crash!
"Even if this Saint must leave, I’ll first teach you a lesson!"
Yong Xinglai’s fury ignited the sky, and the ripples of his Sacred Intent caused an anger to rise in the hearts of all the ordinary people in Tokyo.
In fact, many with weaker physiques turned red-faced, dying of anger on the spot.
However, the next moment a spatial rift appeared at the fingertip of the giant finger, swallowing it all during its descent.
Even though the dense Sacred Intent could affect space, it was replaced by a stronger distortion upon approach!
Subsequently, a shadowy figure emerged slowly from it, looking towards Yong Xinglai.
"Hello."
——
The distant finger strike was easily neutralized, causing Yong Xinglai’s pupils to contract slightly, while also making him feel a sense of foreboding.
Originally, as a Saint, he teleported here to make a sudden attack not just to vent his frustrations, but primarily to evade the empire’s pursuit.
Even though there were significant internal issues within the empire, most Saints probably couldn’t move easily.
But since his actions were akin to rebellion and treason, it would surely be accounted for.
The maps of the Old Development Area were clear, and even if the teleportation device was destroyed, they could come from other directions to encircle him; he couldn’t stay long.
He destroyed the teleportation array upon arrival, and with the Current World’s entity also hiding, along with the restrictions on the Saintly Position posed by the Current World’s Will, the problem wasn’t significant.
For this reason, he fearlessly came over to cause trouble.
The New Development Zone was no longer his, so he had no fear of retaliation!
Even if the Burning Legion had another Saint, it didn’t matter; Yong Xinglai prided himself as not being weak among Saints. Even facing an overwhelming foe, he had numerous means of survival.
Hit-and-run was indeed one of the strongest strategies for a Saint!
Though a Catastrophe Level entity could cause devastating damage to various production resources, it was akin to a nuclear bomb.
In a city like Tokyo, it would take hundreds of nuclear bombs to be effective.
But a Saint truly had the opportunity to deal a city a destructive blow and then leave unscathed.
Saintly Intent naturally had divination-resisting abilities, and with some maneuvers, it could form a terrifying deterrent.
This visit was meant to exercise such deterrence!
The reason for not attacking Tokyo was the realization of the Nasalik Great Tomb’s more valuable existence, planning to destroy it with one attack.
And the attack was indeed successful, seemingly about to hit the target.
But then...
"Hmph, didn’t expect it to be Mr. Ming River. No wonder; have you defected to the Burning Legion? Coming to trouble this old man with your own dirty deeds; what do you really want!"
Yong Xinglai’s somewhat grave words truly surprised Tao Yu.
At this moment...
He was not using the Ming River alias!
Could it be the speculation from Extreme Ice City over there?
Tao Yu pondered for a moment, but outwardly maintained composure, saying calmly.
"I want your body..."
Almost as Tao Yu’s voice fell, a blade-like light sliced through the void a hundred feet behind Yong Xinglai.
