Inner Destroyer

　In this world, if there is any young person who is stronger than Father Amos, there is probably something fishy going on.

　Because the Vatican's Chief Exorcist is practically the "ceiling of normal, gifted mortal cultivation." Those who can break through this ceiling are rarely normal.

　(Who is behind her? Where does she get this power from?)

　However, one code equals another.

　"Nice to meet you, my name is 'Rep Master'."

　In the extraordinary world, etiquette is a very important ritual. Even on a battlefield filled with blood and bloodshed, everyone still observes basic courtesy.

　So Qi Xing said politely, "Sorry to put you in the garbage truck... but you seem to be taking it so well, so you must be used to it, right?"

　He is a man who is both ruthless and vicious, so it is no wonder that he has polarized opinions among righteous heroes.

　Miko Ise's head was still spinning, and the pain spread from her face to her entire body like an electric current, every bone screaming. But even more than the physical pain, she was overwhelmed by two other feelings: anger and fear.

　"Rep Master" suddenly appeared, and she was knocked into the garbage truck by his punch just now - this reality made her suffocate more than the pain.

　She was left lying in a stinking garbage truck, covered in filth, like discarded trash. This was infuriating, humiliating, and unforgivable.

　But at the same time, more and more fear was growing in her heart.

　Is this "Lepu Zhenren"?

　The world's top powerhouse, a peerless master who can definitely be listed among the five strongest people in the world.

　If we use Jin Yong's martial arts novels as an analogy, "Lei Pu Zhenren" is one of the Five Great Masters of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, while Ise is only on the same level as "Thousand-Handed Butcher Peng Lianhu".

　Moreover, if he was just the strongest person in the world, no matter how fast he was, it would be impossible for him to appear next to her without anyone noticing, punch her hard, and not even give her a chance to react.

　She had, of course, seen Rep's past combat records. Qi Xing had never before demonstrated his ability to travel through time and space. Considering what had happened in recent months, the reason he was able to do this was probably...

　"I truly regret that someone favored by the Peacock King would ally with the Black God's priestess."

　The white-haired witch said through gritted teeth.

　When facing a strong person, she can use wisdom and strategy, and she believes that she has the protection of the Peacock King.

　However, facing the "Silver Coin Messenger", the situation is much more troublesome...

　The light in the golden pupils

218

　The light flickered, and anger, hatred, shame, and fear mixed together, making her face distorted.

　But she would never admit she was afraid.

　Because she is the leader of "True Buddhism", the first of the Three Noble Sons "Amaterasu", and the shrine maiden of the Peacock King!

　But at this point, the white-haired witch quickly drove all these messy thoughts out of her mind.

　After all, the current situation was truly dire. A "Silver Messenger" choosing to side with the remnants of the Black God hadn't happened in nearly two thousand years! She had to report this to the Archbishop immediately!

　"It seems that I have to go ahead."

　She stuck half of her body out of the garbage truck, put her hands together, and was about to form a mysterious tantric seal with her fingertips.

　In fact, Qi Xing was also a little surprised at this time.

　Someone favored by the Peacock King? What Peacock King?

　Peacock King? But Qi Xing had nothing to do with Peacock King... Could it be the "Peacock Angel" that Yi Lian had introduced before?

　Elaine had mentioned before that the Peacock Angel was an angel in Yazidi mythology who was defeated by his brother Israfil because he attempted to challenge the authority of the Father of Heaven. This was Satan in apocalyptic religions.

　Could it be that these guys...are not Sasa's followers...

　"Namo Buddha, Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha, I pay homage to the Peacock Buddha Mother, the Great Bright King."

　It's too late, it's faster than that!

　The white-haired witch had already begun to cast a spell, and a green halo emerged from behind her, as brilliant as a peacock spreading its tail, or like a radiant feather robe.

　“I bow down to the Peacock King! May you achieve perfection!”

　Her tone was low, as if she was expressing compassion, but also as if she was passing judgment. She flipped her hands over again, forming a hand seal, and her spiritual energy surged violently!

　The blue halo instantly burst into dazzling brilliance, and a deep blue divine fire appeared between her palms, like the guardian flame of the Buddha Mother Maurya Vairocana, burning brightly and hotly!

　"——Help me destroy the devil with the Dharma!"

　As soon as she finished speaking, the white-haired witch rushed out of the garbage truck and pounced on Qi Xing!

　In an instant, her spiritual power surged throughout her body, and her speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left. Her momentum was even more powerful than in the previous battle!

　Qi Xing couldn't help but blink.

　Oh? So determined? Knowing you can't win, yet still fighting to the death?

　No.

　Something doesn't seem right.

　Qi Xing's battle consciousness, at its full state, told him that the speed, strength, and momentum of this white-haired witch did not seem like she was going to "fight to the death", but rather seemed to be deliberately seeking death.

　For a moment, Qi Xing even wanted to see what tricks she was going to play.

　But then I thought - who cares.

　If she wanted to die, he would take her life.

　Qi Xing raised his fist and punched her directly on the head.

　There was nothing fancy, just a simple straight punch, violent, direct and clean.

　But just this one punch caused the air to collapse, creating a momentary vacuum!

　The fist exploded like thunder!

　Whether it was the light wheel or the divine fire, they were all pierced by the punch. The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

　A punch with 80% of its strength finally smashed into the witch's face. The facial bones were completely shattered, the head exploded, and the body fell heavily to the ground.

　The dust has settled.

　Qi Xing shook his fist and looked carefully.

　The witch's body had collapsed, her head shattered, and red and white liquid continued to flow out, quickly dyeing the road and her gorgeous witch costume red. She looked normal - just like any other mortal who died.

　She must be dead. Qi Xing also felt that her life had dissipated.

　But Qi Xing still narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that something was not right.

　Although the white-haired miko had fallen, the enchanting peacock goddess Reishin was still floating around in perfect condition. However, she clearly couldn't smile anymore.

　The weak male who had been brutally feminized was facing the "strongest man on earth". Before he even started fighting, he was already pale and trembling.

　Qi Xing was too lazy to waste his time, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed him through the air, activating the Qi Confinement.

　The so-called "forbidden techniques" refer to methods by which practitioners use their own zhenqi to control phenomena. Forbidden blades can prevent weapons from injuring, and forbidden fire can prevent fire from starting. So, of course, there are also methods to forbid nightmares and evil spirits. Qi Xing, the Earth Immortal, activated his zhenqi, and the evil spirits that filled the entire street were forcibly suppressed.

　And it wasn't just his "anger" that Qi Xing suppressed.

　“Uh, uh—”

　boom!

　It was as if an invisible hand was pressing down hard from above her head, and even the Peacock Demon Girl's body was pressed directly to the ground!

　She struggled hard to steady herself, but the invisible true energy was like an invisible and intangible mountain. She had no power to resist it at all and had no room to struggle!

　“Stop, stop—”

　boom! ! !

　The next second, Qi Xing pushed her into the road!

　The asphalt road surface cracked and sank in an instant, as if a huge hammer had smashed the ground into a hideous deep pit!

　Dust flew everywhere, stone chips tumbled, and the enchanting goddess was pinned to the bottom of the pit, her limbs crushed so tightly that she couldn't move at all. Only the emerald green light still trembled slightly, trying in vain to resist the terrifying and insurmountable true energy.

　She couldn't breathe.

　She couldn't think.

　She couldn't believe it - she was actually being pressed to the ground alive, like a demon whose dignity was crushed and trampled underfoot!

　"No! No!"

　She could only scream miserably—just like when he was caught by Ise before he "fell".

　——Qi Xing curled his lips and prepared to put in a little more effort.

　Until he looked through the frightened eyes of the witch and suddenly saw a vague shadow of a young man flash across her pupils.

　"what?"

　Qi Xing finally frowned: "What's going on?"

　"He is the young exorcist of the Guitou family."

　Finally, Rin's voice came from behind him.

　081: The Amazing Thunder Man (Part 2)

　It turned out that after Qi Xing's heroic visit at the critical moment just now, Lin immediately understood that he no longer needed to draw his sword and use his full strength.

　So while Qi Xing was killing the white-haired priestess and suppressing the Peacock Goddess, she immediately moved all the passers-by and civilians around and protected them in the alleys on the street.

　Now that the battle was over, she could finally explain the whole situation to Qi Xing: "That shrine maiden who called herself Ise seemed to have poured a large amount of filth into his body, tempting him and forcing him to use this power to transform."

　Filth is desire, and desire is power under Samael's cosmic law. This is not difficult to understand.

　As for the transformation...

　Qi Xing did know that in this world, the ways to "transform" weren't very numerous, but they weren't particularly rare either. There were many transforming heroes, including magical girls. Qi Xing also gained the ability to transform based on mythological prototypes after receiving "silver coins."

　Based on mythological archetypes?

　After taking a look at the headless corpse of "Ise" and then at the enchanting celestial maiden pinned to the ground, Qi Xing suddenly understood a little bit - although it was much weaker in terms of power, in principle, this transformation was similar to the power of "Silver Coin", which was to gain corresponding power by playing a specific role.

　Could it be that they are actually trying to imitate the "Silver Coin Messenger"...

　“It hurts! It hurts so much, ahhhhhhh!”

　More evil energy began to gush out of the body of Peacock Goddess Ling Zhen like a flood that broke through a dam.

　The emerald green turbidity surged endlessly, like a thick fog. However, as soon as any escaping evil energy emerged, it was immediately suppressed by Qi Xing's "forbidden magic" and forcibly sealed at the bottom of the pit.

　As a result, the evil energy around her accumulated more and more, becoming stronger and stronger, causing Ling Zhen to scream heart-wrenchingly, as shrill as the howl of a dying beast.

　"Why-why can't I do anything? Can't I do anything?!"

　Her fingertips dug into the ground, her knuckles turning white, her nails even cracking and bleeding from the pressure. Her muscles were cramping, as if she were being bitten by tens of thousands of venomous snakes, every inch of her flesh biting back at her.

　Her tears were already rolling down mixed with cold sweat.

　“Everyone says I’m a genius, that I’m the future pillar of the family! Why do I have… nothing now… It hurts, it hurts so much!”

　Her voice had become hoarse and broken, as if she would die at any moment. However, her body was still struggling, desperately trying to break free from this irresistible oppression.

　"I don't want to die—I don't want to die yet ahh ...

　But she had no way to escape. The filth of tens of thousands of people, the evil thoughts of tens of thousands of people, after being refined by thirty witches and poured into Lie Zhen's body, this power should have become her weapon.

　But at this moment, after her defeat, after she could no longer control them, the evil became an unbearable shackle for her, dragging her into the abyss.

　The emerald green evil energy rolled wildly, accumulating more and more, becoming more and more sticky, as if the whole hell was churning inside her body.

　"Can you change her back? Do a purification ritual or something?"

　Qi Xing frowned and asked Lin beside him.

　Due to his own limited talent, although he had the theoretical knowledge, he was completely unable to use this kind of magic.

　But Lin also shook his head, looking a little embarrassed: "Apart from the power of the four-colored fire, I basically don't know any magic at all."

　"Can't you use that white purifying fire of yours?"

　"White Fire can only be used to heal myself."
