Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 966 Judgment Knight Commander Kandem
Boom!

A thunderous roar suddenly exploded in his ears, and Gao Yang's flying figure stopped instantly as he looked at the torn sky in front of him.

Milofina steadied herself and gave a disgruntled snort: "What the hell?"

As she finished speaking, a burly figure slowly emerged from the irregular, jagged crack.

Gao Yang looked at the man who emerged from the spatial rift with great interest. The man was bathed in battle aura, and his eyes, radiating lightning, were extremely captivating.

Moreover, Gao Yang sensed a familiar aura, the same aura that he had previously slain as the Judgment Knights.

Without a doubt, the man before them came from the Church of Storms, and his status should be even higher than those of the previous Judgment Knights.

Gao Yang stood opposite Kandem, not adopting a defensive posture, but instead asked, "Are you also a Judgment Knight of the Storm Church?"

Kandem quickly surveyed Gao Yang's entire body, then took the battle blade from behind his back with his large, bony hands and grasped it. His powerful voice boomed like thunder:

"Kandem, the Knight Commander of the Storm Church, heretic. Can you tell me which church you are cooperating with?"

As the words fell, a murderous aura, centered on Kandem, pressed down on Gao Yang like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"A very strong killing intent."

Faced with the murderous intent of Kandem, Gao Yang did not immediately draw his weapon to prepare for battle. Instead, he commented with great interest.

Then, looking at Kandem, he said, "I have not worked with any church."

Kandem paused slightly, his gaze toward Gao Yang becoming distinctly dangerous: "Ten Judgment Knight commanders, are you saying you killed them all by yourself?"
"Hiding those churches will do you no good, heretic."

Gao Yang chuckled and looked at Milofina, saying to himself, "It seems we've been underestimated, Milofina."

Milofina rolled her eyes in displeasure, tilted her head back, and said, "You're underestimating me. I'm just an ordinary cat spirit."

Gao Yang shook his head helplessly, pulled Yongyao out of the void, looked at Kandem opposite him, and continued, "They are just ten legends. If they hadn't insisted on provoking me, they wouldn't have died."

Just like you right now.

As Gao Yang finished speaking, golden battle qi, as clear as liquid, overflowed from all parts of his body. The battle qi burned fiercely like flames, causing the space around him to begin to distort slightly.

Kandem closed his eyes, and the next moment, as he opened them, two blazing white bolts of lightning flashed from the depths of his pupils, completely reflecting Gao Yang's figure in his field of vision.

The next moment, four hurricanes appeared out of thin air around Gao Yang.

The hurricane howled, and the wind was as sharp as a knife, instantly engulfing Gaoyang completely.

Within her solar-powered aura, Milofina watched the wind blades slashing wildly, almost touching her body, then turned to Gao Yang and casually asked, "Meow~ Gao Yang, do you need my help?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No need."

Milofina's support is very useful, almost doubling his strength.

However, Gao Yang does not want to accept such assistance unless absolutely necessary, as it would make him dependent on it and cause him to misjudge the limits of his own strength.

Gao Yang unleashed a sword strike, the greatsword resonating and a surge of violent solar sword energy tearing apart the hurricane surrounding him.

In the swirling wind, a broad-bladed sword slashed down from above Gao Yang's head in an instant. The muscles on Kandem's strong arms bulged, and wind holes the size of marbles opened up on his arms.

These wind tunnels spew out airflow, which, when it rubs against the air, produces a piercing, ear-piercing whistle and also gives Kandem's arms seemingly endless power.

"Man-made disaster, meteorite!"

Boom! ! !
The clash between the sword and the greatsword was like the collision of two meteors. Visible shockwaves and gusts of air spread outwards, and the space around them crackled and shattered in the distance, stretching for tens of kilometers behind them.

Kandem staggered back a large step, and a large area of ​​the wind tunnel behind him instantly produced jets of air. Using the recoil force, he barely managed to stop himself and looked up at Gao Yang opposite him with a slightly surprised expression.

He clearly had the advantage in the first attack, but in the end, he suffered a loss.

Gao Yang stood there, holding his greatsword, the tip of which pointed diagonally at the rippling sea below. He looked at Kandem opposite him and casually said, "If that's all you've got, then don't waste my time."

Kandem narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint shooting out from the gaps. He gave a low shout, and wind tunnels, like eyes, opened up from all over his body.

Feeling the air currents filling his body, Kandem lowered his body slightly and vanished from Gao Yang's perception in the next instant.

A piercing shriek exploded, and a hazy azure light enveloped Gao Yang. Gao Yang stood with his sword in hand, his battle aura covering his ears to block out the soul-piercing shriek, his face as calm as still water.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came rushing towards him, and Gao Yang raised his sword to block it.

With a crisp "ding," a sharp whistling sound exploded simultaneously from both the front and back of his body.

Amidst a piercing shriek, two identical Kandem surrounded Gao Yang from the front and back, slashing at him with their swords in a "splitting Mount Hua" motion.

when! !

Sparks flew as Gao Yang stood firmly in place, his two greatswords, one gold and one silver, deflecting the attacks from the two Kandems who were flanking him from the front and back.

Behind him, two fleshy arms emerged from his shoulder blades, with a golden greatsword made entirely of willpower in his right hand.

Through the swords, Gao Yang and Kandem stared at each other.

The next moment, the Kandem in front of Gao Yang suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the Kandem behind him slashed again.

Amidst the mournful howl of the wind, the broad-bladed sword, carrying an unstoppable wind pressure, slashed down towards Gao Yang's head.

'Sacrifice - Space Twist!'

Gao Yang's fighting spirit was suddenly depleted by one-third, and in that instant, the space in which he and Kandem were located was switched.

With a single slash, Kandru missed his target, his expression changed drastically, and the wind tunnel around him suddenly expanded, with pale red airflow shooting out in all directions from the wind tunnel.

At the same time, his movements were instantly reversed as if a rewind tape had been played, and he parried the attack with his sword behind him without losing momentum.

when! ! !
Amidst a piercing metallic clang, sparks flew in large bursts, interspersed with a few fragments of the battle blade.

Immediately afterwards, the blade struck Kandem's back with a dull thud.

Bang!
A cloud of blood mist erupted from Kandem's body, and he flew forward uncontrollably.

As he flew forward, Kandem forcibly twisted his body, his gaze locked onto Gao Yang, who was following closely behind. His free left hand was spread wide, and a wind tunnel that almost occupied the entire palm appeared.

'The wind roars!' With a silent roar from Kandem, the gale gathered in the wind tunnel in his palm, compressed to its limit, and then shot out as a pale ray, tearing through layers of air waves along its path, and instantly slammed into Gao Yang's chest.

But the next moment, something that drove Kandem to despair happened: the howling wind slammed into Gao Yang's chest, yet it couldn't even penetrate his fighting spirit.

As for Gao Yang's body, it didn't even sway, and he calmly slashed at him with his sword.

'laugh! ’

With a soft sound, a jet-black slash instantly struck Kandem's chest.

Kandem's eyes bulged out, and he heard a series of cracking sounds as bones broke.

His already unstable body crashed through space, breaking through a giant shockwave, and disappeared before Gao Yang's eyes.

Boom!
Below, a column of water, hundreds of meters in diameter, shot into the sky.

Gao Yang stood still, looking down at the sea that was beginning to boil, sensing the mixed battle qi that enveloped the entire area within a hundred miles.

Having taken a direct hit from his "Cataclysmic Star Piercer," Kandem was bound to be in a bad way. Whether his opponent continued to fight to the death or used the seawater to escape, he would not be able to escape his perception.

Seconds later, the sea below boiled completely, with huge bubbles bursting through the surface.

This boiling sensation will not end in a short time; on the contrary, it will become more and more intense over time, because this sword strike contains Gao Yang's domineering fighting spirit as fierce as the blazing sun and his brilliant spiritual will.

Bang!
In one corner of the sea, a splash of water erupted, and a strong figure burst out of the sea—it was Kandem, who had been blasted into the seabed earlier.

He was soaking wet, with seawater constantly dripping from his body. On his chest was a huge sword wound that almost split him in two.

Inside the crevice were writhing organs, and through the crevice, one could even see the boiling sea behind him.

Kandem looked up at Gao Yang, who stood proudly in mid-air, his former confidence gone.

Even the resolve to die in battle vanished after this brief encounter.

He was wrong, they were all wrong, the entire Church of Storms was wrong!
As Gao Yang said, those Judgment Knights really did die at the hands of Gao Yang alone, not as they had guessed, that the person in front of them had joined forces with other churches to kill those Judgment Knights.

This means that the person in front of you is incredibly powerful.

It was so terrifying that even he, the presiding judge, was utterly helpless against them.

This level of existence is already at the "Pope" level. Creating such an opponent out of thin air is absolutely terrible news for the Storm Church at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, Kandem had made his decision.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, planted his battle sword in the space beside his feet, looked up at Gao Yang, and said, "Mr. Klein, I have confirmed your words."

The death of the Knight of Judgment was indeed your doing alone.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, looking down at Kandem, who was standing above the sea, and quietly waited for him to continue.

“We apologize for the church’s previous blatant misconduct in defining you as a ‘heretic.’”

Of course, the church has already paid a bloody price for its recklessness.

Seeing that Gao Yang was not in a hurry to make a move, Kandem felt a little relieved, but more so a sense of powerlessness, because it meant that the other party did not care about him at all and was absolutely confident that he could keep him here.

Kandem took a deep breath, then, dragging his body which was almost split in two, bowed slightly to Gao Yang: "I apologize for the recklessness of the Church and of us."

Combating heresy is the most important task for all churches, and this is not something that can be changed by our personal will. We hope you can understand and forgive our offense.

"so what?"

Gao Yang asked.

"To express my apology, Kandem offers his life as atonement. Please forgive the Church of Storms for its rudeness."

Kandem spoke without the slightest hesitation or probing, as if stating something that was about to become a fact.

Gao Yang slowly shook his head, his voice calm: "That's why I've said before that I'm not someone who likes to cause trouble. You wouldn't listen to me when I tried to talk to you nicely, and now you realize you were wrong after you've kicked a hornet's nest. What's the point?"

A hint of pain appeared in Kandem's eyes, and he also knew that if a new round of faith wars began, the Storm Church would certainly not be able to maintain its current position.

Because the Church of Storms was too arrogant, or rather, all churches have this problem, but the Church of Storms was the first to taste the price of arrogance.

But those things are no longer relevant to Kandem, because he is destined to die here today, and he will have to commit suicide.

Only when the strong humble themselves to the dust, and with their own blood, can the enmity caused by arrogance be washed away, so that the powerful being before them will not transfer their anger to the Church of Storms.

"I sincerely apologize again and ask for your forgiveness for our rudeness."

Kandem bowed again, and without waiting for Gao Yang's response, he gripped his battle sword and swiftly slashed at his own neck.

As the blade sliced ​​through flesh and blood, Kandem's head fell. Because of the legendary powerhouse's incredibly strong life force, he did not die immediately, but instead opened his eyes wide and looked at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang and Kandem exchanged a glance, and then, seeing the other's pleading look, Gao Yang shrugged and said, "If the Church of Storms stops bothering us, I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Kandem's lips moved, and his eyes slowly closed: "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lost control of his power, and Kandem's body and head began to fall into the sea below.

After watching Kandem sink into the sea, Gao Yang turned and flew towards the location of the Undying Giant Turtle.

Gao Yang didn't care whether Kandem faked his death to escape or had other means of resurrection.

The sword energy from before remained in the opponent's body, carrying Gao Yang's will. If Kandem's body showed any unusual movement, Gao Yang would naturally sense it.

Gao Yang never expected that the judge of the Storm Church would be so pragmatic, admitting his mistakes and even willing to risk his own life.

This spirit of dedication is admirable.

This is why Gao Yang agreed to his request.

Of course, on the other hand, for Kandem, it was inevitable that he would die here today.

Being able to end the conflict between the two sides in a dignified way with one's own life before dying is undoubtedly a very cost-effective choice.
