A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 160: How did you manage to steal a Kamaitachi?
A folding knife?

Folding knife!

It was an old-fashioned large folding knife with an exquisite copper-inlaid wooden handle. The slightly curved silver blade was engraved with meteorite patterns, and the edge had an eerie and alluring pink hue.

These precious alchemical meteorites, in history books, are often only used as materials for forging weapons for dragon-slaying heroes.

As for that eerie pink hue at the blade's edge, it's none other than the legendary dragon-slaying weapon—the Philosopher's Stone!
It is a secret ingredient made entirely from the fifth element—spiritual element—and crafted using the most advanced alchemy techniques, which can easily bridge the gap between spirit and matter!
The Philosopher's Stone can even harm the Dragon King.

The blade of this ancient folding knife is covered with a layer of Philosopher's Stone powder.

Such a weapon, when it strikes a dragon, cannot save even a high-ranking dragon.

Chu Zihang's pupils, hidden beneath the Sun Wukong mask, suddenly contracted.

In Kassel, everyone knows this amazing folding knife, which was reforged from the weapon fragments of Sir Meneke Kassel, the first president of the Lionheart Order, from which the name Kassel originated.

Nowadays, it has become Principal Angers' signature weapon.

The moment Chu Zihang realized the principal was standing in front of him, he didn't even dare to look at the old man with the knife for long, and instantly activated his second Bloodlust skill on the spot!

As Chu Zihang used Bloodlust more frequently, he became increasingly proficient in this technique passed down through the Lionheart Society. He was able to skip the first level and reach the second level, while simultaneously activating his alchemical domain.

He knew very well how terrifyingly lethal Principal Angers' Word of Power, Time Zero, was!

Within the Time Zero Realm, the flow of time slows down, almost beyond people's understanding of the Dragon's Word of Power.

People often think that the power of words is to command the elements and manipulate them to achieve a goal, such as Caesar's Kamaitachi and Chu Zihang's own Junyan.

But Time Zero is different. This word of power is too mysterious and unique. Where does the element of time come from among the four elements?

But this thing can slow down the flow of time, making everyone in the area except the one who released it relatively slower!
Take blinking, for example. This seemingly insignificant human action can take seven or eight seconds, or even longer, to complete in the realm of zero time!

The one who releases Time Zero can maintain their original high speed within the domain, and every movement is like a ghostly teleportation.

If it weren't for his spiritual intuition alerting him to the danger at a critical moment, Chu Zihang would have been completely unable to react to such an attack!

Angers paused slightly. His strike was aimed at the mask of Sun Wukong. The doubts that had been building up in his heart made him particularly curious about whether the true face under the mask was Chu Zihang.

So, Time Zero's sneak attack was somehow blocked by the opponent as if they had foreseen it? Such an enemy…

The temperature was incredibly high, an unparalleled 5,000 degrees Celsius! It spread from the blade in Chu Zihang's hand!
Angers abruptly retreated halfway through his thought; in Angers' view, only he himself was normal.

His clothes started to smoke and turn black, and his white hair curled up, emitting a burnt smell, but everything flowed at a normal rate.

Old Tang and the masked man in front of him blinked so slowly, the flickering of the surrounding flames was slow yet clearly countable, and even the sudden spread of high temperature from the alchemical swords was exceptionally slow.

However, once that kind of high temperature occurs, it should not be approached lightly.

It was just a knife, yet it emitted such extreme heat that the bricks and stones of the plaza surrounding Chu Zihang were slightly scorched.

Angers calmly held the knife in his right hand and patted his hair and clothes with his left to make sure there was no fire. He slowly looked back, and everyone in the room remained motionless to Angers.

Theoretically speaking, the Word of Power: Time Zero places an enormous burden on the body. Even the most outstanding hybrid can only sustain this Word of Power for a maximum of five seconds.

We have no choice but to shut it down, otherwise our bodies can't take it.

Angers considers himself a genius who is particularly suited to time zero, as he can keep running for several minutes without any burden.

It was precisely because of his compatibility with time zero that Angers had the composure to fight, and even commented on the masked man. No wonder he kept his distance from his companions.

Once the masked man's weapon activates the alchemical domain, not only his teammates but also he himself will likely suffer a huge price.

In fact, Chu Zihang's situation wasn't as dire as Angers had imagined. The arsonist's potion itself would increase his resistance to high temperatures and fire, and combined with his double-blood-burst constitution, it allowed him to barely hold on for a few dozen seconds.

Old Tang also turned his gaze over. Wasn't that the tool he used to craft for the old church to make money? It turned out the church had given it to young Chu. Susie and Chen Motong also felt a pang of anxiety; if Chu Zihang could recognize the owner of the folding knife, so could they.

There was a strange sense of guilt about being caught doing something wrong by the principal.

Chu Zihang thought to himself that he had to get rid of the principal as soon as possible. If he exceeded the time limit, his body would not be able to withstand the high temperature and would collapse first.

Even an arsonist cannot withstand the temperature of flames without limit. Chu Zihang understood that flames can burn others, but they can also hurt oneself.

Once again, a rule for playing the arsonist is summarized, and the arsonist's potion is thoroughly digested here.

The joy of digesting the potion was not enough to dispel the pressure brought by Anger. Chu Zihang didn't care about anything else, and swept his knife horizontally, unleashing a large amount of flames from every angle.

The raging flames, which seemed like snails to Angers, were so intense that the old man could even walk in them, twisting and turning as if dancing a tango amidst the flames.

She danced gracefully through the gaps in the flames, unharmed, and slowly walked towards Susie.

Angers couldn't actually handle the high-temperature domain of that alchemical sword. Although he was fast and his time zero was mysterious, his physical constitution didn't allow him to force his way into such a high-temperature domain.

Since we can't get close here for the time being, let's go see what the others look like.

Angers was confident that none of these invading enemies would escape from him.

Angers is like a ghost that travels through time under the moonlight, silent and teleporting a great distance with every step.

Ignoring Old Tang and Bao Lie, he went straight to Susie.

"?" Bao Lie blinked as he watched Angers appear and disappear in front of him. No, old man, are you looking down on thieves?
Even a fleeting glimpse of Angers is enough to trigger the thieving ability.

Once you steal Time Zero, leaving only Ange with his Bloodlust constitution, he's not actually that difficult to deal with.

With this thought in mind, Bao Lie reached out to steal, and in the next instant, the Word of Power: Kamaitachi appeared on his body, much to Bao Lie's surprise!

Wait, why did you steal a Kamaitachi?
Shouldn't we steal a time zero?

Not to mention that Borg was surprised, Angers was even more surprised than him!

Just now, Angers' own Word of Power - Time Zero was slightly out of control, and he suddenly had a bad feeling that he was about to lose Time Zero.

A sudden burst of blood!

Angers, who had suffered multiple hemorrhages in his youth, exhibited hemorrhage symptoms even more rapidly than Chu Zihang. After just one episode of hemorrhage, fine dragon scales had already sprouted all over his body.

Angers dared not linger any longer, and suddenly burst out with maximum speed. When he reappeared, he was already behind Borg, whose head had been separated from his body.

This is the person, this mysterious man, who caused Time Zero to go out of control and almost lose its life. He must not be allowed to live!

"Shadow Brother!" Old Tang's pupils dilated sharply, and he was furious. His domain, which was like a furnace between heaven and earth, suddenly expanded, easily reaching 30 meters, 40 meters, and 50 meters beyond the theoretical limit of 20 meters!

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the domain is, it can't catch up with Angers, who was once engulfed in blood and under the cover of time zero.

"Don't shout, I'm fine."

“!” Angers, in time zero, turned around with a force that nearly snapped his neck, and saw a small paper figure with its head separated from its body, slowly drifting down.

"!" Old Tang then realized that the 'shadow' had emerged again from the shadow beneath his feet. He was overjoyed, but still tried his best to maintain the domain to prevent Angers from breaking in.

How could this be? Angers was certain that the slash had hit its mark, so why did a paper doll appear? What kind of incantation was this?
Or is it a mysterious alchemical tool?

How did the mysterious man manage to survive again?
Old Tang didn't care about anything else, and grabbed Bao Lie, laughing heartily: "I knew it! I knew you guys were so capable, you wouldn't die! Holy crap, you really scared me to death just now!"
