I, Lord of Prayer

(Oh my god, the last chapter got blocked. What did I write? Let's see if we can unblock it... This is unbearable. ♙💣 6➈S𝓱у𝔵.𝒸𝑜ⓜ ♦🐟)

All sounds are silent.

In the stillness of the night, murderous intent brewed.

Jiang Che walked slowly over and stopped when he was about five meters away from the car.

He reached his right hand out of his pocket and suddenly shook hands with the bodyguard.

Peng!

The bodyguard's head shattered into pieces like a burst balloon, splattering red and white substances all over the car and covering the windows with a thick layer of viscous liquid.

The female secretary screamed in panic from inside the car, so Jiang Che moved his hand slightly and clenched it again.

Peng!

The world is peaceful now.

With a flick of her finger, the car door next to Fu Qing opened automatically.

"Come down."

Fu Qing got out of the car with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with undisguised resentment and venom. But a few seconds later, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling an indescribable absurdity.

"Are you an Ascended One?"

"You're an Ascended One?"

He had consulted the internal documents of the Star Society through various channels, and in the Star Society's documents, Jiang Che was an ordinary person without any problems!

He hadn't awakened, hadn't learned alchemy, and hadn't mastered any power; he was just an ordinary person through and through!

She has been able to reach her current position entirely because she has demonstrated rationality and judgment that surpasses the vast majority of people, and has successfully resolved many extraordinary events that could have posed a significant threat.

The employee records within the Stars Society are absolutely accurate, and the Stars Society conducts annual physical examinations. If Jiang Che were an Ascended Being, he would definitely be detected during the examination.

But the information clearly states that she is an ordinary person.

  

Therefore, Fu Qingcai felt a sense of absurdity. There was only one possibility: Jiang Che was hiding the fact that she was an Ascended Being. She had even managed to keep it from the Star Council.

Is it necessary to hide this?

"I was an Ascended One many years ago," Jiang Che said calmly.

Fu Qing's smile vanished, a shadow of malice flashing in his eyes. He sensed that the other party was only one person, which meant that if he could kill Jiang Che, he could escape Jinzhu and go far away.

In an instant, the source energy within Fu Qing's body surged, and the air around him suddenly became chaotic. Three sharp energy blades swept out horizontally. This was his extraordinary ability, "Energy Blade Slash," which could easily split flesh and blood in two, and even cut through special alloys.

The three energy blades burst forth with a mournful howl, their sharpness fully revealed, but they suddenly stopped within three meters of Jiang Che, as if the pause button had been pressed, unable to advance even an inch.

The next second, the three energy blades exploded simultaneously.

"you……"

Fu Qing was stunned. He was a second-tier ascendant. His air blades were faster than bullets and more powerful than armor-piercing rounds fired from anti-material sniper rifles. They could even cut through the armor of the Raven Squad. How could they be blocked so easily?

"What rank are you?!" Fu Qing couldn't help but take two steps back.

Jiang Che did not answer, but simply raised his hand and gently clenched it.

With a snap, Fu Qing's ankle and calf were crushed by an invisible force, flesh and blood splattered everywhere, broken bones piercing through the flesh and exposed. He stumbled backward, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.

In a panic, Fu Qing raised his hand, and two more blades of energy flew out. One of them, due to its angle, flew towards the car and, like scissors cutting paper, effortlessly slashed a deep mark on the car. The friction between the steel caused a spark to fall and ignite the fuel tank.

A deafening roar erupted, and flames shot out, engulfing the car in the blink of an eye. Fierce tongues of fire danced wildly, rising into the sky as if to burn everything to ashes.

The two energy blades stopped abruptly three meters in front of Jiang Che, and then exploded in a bizarre manner.

"Spatial manipulation? Telekinesis? What kind of ability do you have that's so strong...?"

Fu Qing gritted her teeth, using her arms to support her body as she moved backward: "Are you hiding your true abilities? Who are you guarding against?"

"Even now, you still don't recognize me? Or have you killed so many people that you simply don't remember that a little girl escaped your slaughter?"

Jiang Che spoke calmly, the blazing firelight casting an uncertain glow on her figure.

Fu Qing frowned, and after Jiang Che's reminder, he recalled an event that happened many, many years ago.

He was very young then, and he was a lackey who did shady things for important people.

More than a decade ago, the “Night of the Falling Sun” caused a brief period of turmoil in the constellations, sparking political strife, with many scheming individuals attempting to seize power.

The powerful figure he served had commissioned him to assassinate many competitors, not only killing the individuals themselves but also their entire families to eliminate any future threats.

However, on one occasion, when he led his men to kill a man named Jiang Ye, the man's daughter managed to escape. He sent his men to chase after her, and soon his men returned, saying that the little girl had been hit by a truck while running away, and her body was mangled and bloody. There were many people at the scene, so they couldn't bring the body back.

His subordinates gave him a firm guarantee, and after he went to the accident scene again to confirm that a child had indeed been hit and killed, he stopped paying attention to the matter.

Now, after being reminded, he superimposed the face of that little girl from back then with Jiang Che's face and suddenly realized that they looked five or six points alike.

"It's you..." Fu Qing's voice became hoarse as he glared angrily. "I shouldn't have been so careless back then. I should have personally gone to hunt you down. A bunch of useless trash, a bunch of useless trash..."

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Jiang Che asked coldly, "Can this change the fact that you are going to die?"

Fu Qing didn't speak again, only breathing heavily, glaring venomously at Jiang Che with his bloodshot eyes. He knew he was doomed to die today.

And it will be a very painful death.

"That night, I kept pestering my dad to take me to the zoo and my mom to take me to the opera. They smiled and agreed, and even said that if I got another 100 on my test, they would take me to visit the Alchemy Institute."

Jiang Che gazed at the distant night sky, recalling the past that had long since passed. Then, his cold and chilling gaze fell upon Fu Qing.

"I used to have a wonderful family."

"But you destroyed it."

"So I will spend the rest of my life taking revenge on you one by one."

You are not the first, nor will you be the last.

Jiang Che stretched out his hands, one hand loosely grabbing Fu Qing's head, and the other loosely grabbing Fu Qing's leg.

Next, use both hands forcefully, like wringing a towel—use force!

Snap, snap, snap snap snap snap...

Fu Qing's body twisted in mid-air, a large amount of blood was squeezed out of his body, and his bones made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, breaking and shattering all at once.

Three seconds later, Fu Qing turned into a twisted human flesh, his death appearance grotesque.

·

When Zhou Chen arrived, he saw Jiang Che standing silently beside the wreckage of the car, seemingly lost in thought, and a gruesome corpse that looked like a twisted dough stick.

He gasped, unable to suppress a gasp:

Holy crap!

What a unique and innovative way to die!

Jiang Che looked over calmly.

"Hiss... Your technique is quite something. Could you teach me?" Zhou Chen asked humbly.
