Stronger with More Jobs

Chapter 727 - 302: Their True Will... Is Coming!

The tightly strung heartstrings finally relaxed a little.

Gritting teeth, he also exerted all his strength to catch up, eyes firmly locked on the direction of the smoke-filled broken bridge.

...

Beneath the fractured overpass, smoke and dust filled the air.

Obscuring most of the view.

Fang Qingyu’s figure slowly emerged from the enveloping smoke and dust.

Floating several meters above the ground in mid-air.

The ground beneath was a gigantic circular pit with a diameter exceeding thirty meters.

The pit walls were as smooth as a mirror, showing a glaze state rapidly cooled after a high-temperature melt, with tiny golden arcs still dancing at the edges.

In the center of the pit’s bottom lay the Ghost Car and Snake Transformation Dharma Body, having been directly struck by Shenxiao·Dragon Transformation.

At this moment, they no longer had their previous formidable might.

The dark red feather patterns of the Ghost Car Dharma Body had shed in large patches.

Revealing the burnt, lacerated, and charred flesh underneath, scorched by Shenxiao Thunder.

The two nascent and undeveloped auxiliary head forms on either side of the neck, which had just begun to swell, hung limply like burned meat tumors.

The Snake Transformation Dharma Body fared even worse.

The snake tail, below the waist, which had just half-transformed and was covered with dark green scales, was ruptured nearly in half by the violent thunder.

The place where it was broken was a mess of blood and charred black, even exposing the stark white bones.

The two fleshy wings on its back were torn and ragged, weakly drooping on the scorched back.

These two incarnate Godly forms...

Now appeared pitiful.

The fine golden Shenxiao Arcs continuously leaped and corroded around their bodies like maggots on rotting bones.

Persistently destroying their vitality.

Preventing any form of self-healing.

Under normal circumstances, suffering such severe injuries.

They would have long lost combat power, only able to lie motionless waiting for death.

However...

Fang Qingyu hovered around the pit’s edge, gazing coldly at the pit’s bottom.

Yet he didn’t go down.

Because around the Ghost Car and Snake Transformation Dharma Bodies.

Encircled layers of a sticky, almost tangible black wind.

Very eerie.

Fang Qingyu attempted to transform a thread of Shenxiao Power into a small electric serpent to probe into the black wind’s range.

As soon as that electric serpent touched, it emitted a slight sizzle.

Instantly swallowed and dissolved by the strange black wind, without even stirring a ripple.

Fang Qingyu frowned slightly.

The divine status of Ghost Car and Snake Transformation, was evidently far beyond any Five Pass Gods slain before.

Their vessels of manifestation were the bodies of Peak of Third Tier Martial Saints.

Evidently, they had more means at their disposal.

Forcibly breaching this layer of black wind was too risky, likely demanding unnecessary costs.

After all, the Evil God was about to emerge.

The City Lord of the City of Injustice couldn’t just ignore it, right?

And at this moment.

BOOM!!!

A loud and dull explosion along with a scorching heat wave came from not far away, on that other segment of the overpass still standing but also covered in cracks.

Fang Qingyu’s attention was instantly drawn over!

Sensing through the smoke and dust, he clearly saw the battle on Jiang Wei’s side.

Jiang Wei was hovering in the air, surrounded by nearly pure white searing flames.

The Red Lotus had been pushed to its extreme.

Jiang Wei’s face was pale to the point of being almost transparent, with fine cold sweat beading on her forehead, lips tightly pressed.

Clearly, the battle was not easy.

Her opponent was that Apostle in a gray suit, who had always appeared calm and composed.

At this moment, the man in the suit still had his hands in the pockets of his trousers.

Looking relaxed as if strolling in a courtyard.

Facing Jiang Wei’s terrifying Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

He merely raised his hand slightly, with tendrils of misty gray fog wrapping around his fingertips like living creatures.

This fog seemed thin and elusive.

But no matter how violent or scorching the torrent of flames surged, once touching that gray fog, it vanished silently as if plunged into an invisible black hole.

Not even a shred of heat could pass through.

Jiang Wei’s attacks, though immense in momentum, could not budge him an inch.

The man in the suit had not even initiated an attack actively.

Through the vanishing gray fog, those deep eyes observed Jiang Wei with great interest, as if admiring a rare art piece.

He seemed to savor the unique charm contained within Jiang Wei’s flames...

Suddenly, the man in the suit seemed to have confirmed something.

His eyes exploded with startling brilliance, the corners of his mouth drawing up in a knowing and playful smile.

"Heh... so that’s how it is."

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it clearly pierced through the roar of flames, reaching Jiang Wei’s ears.

"So... you’re a follower of Him, huh."

But Jiang Wei said nothing.

And the man in the suit, seeing this, smiled even more, with undisguised mockery:

"Truly ironic... A follower serving an extreme Evil God like the Drought Fiend, brazenly joined the Federation? And even became a member of the core team? Tsk tsk tsk... It seems the high-ranking officials of the Federation, with all their pompous slogans over the years, were just nonsense! For the sake of power, they tolerate anything, right?"

As he spoke, he casually dispelled an incoming incandescent fire spear, his tone becoming playful and tempting:

"But... little girl, your intentions, aren’t so pure, are they?"

"You’re very aware of what your identity signifies, right? You’ll die sooner or later, and following Fang Qingyu, do you intend to see him dead?"

Clearly, the man in the suit mistook Jiang Wei for a follower of the Drought Fiend...

Yet what he said inadvertently somewhat resembled Jiang Wei’s current predicament.

Jiang Wei’s attack rhythm momentarily faltered noticeably.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire swirling around her body suddenly swayed and flickered violently, and even the searing temperature seemed to drop a bit.
