Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

A red moon hangs in the sky, and blood is everywhere.

At this moment, an ominous atmosphere has enveloped the entire fashion capital.

Initially, only insects and rats in the sewers were affected, breaking open the manhole covers and swarming out.

Then, the pigeons and other birds in the city became agitated and began to bang against windows like crazy, breaking glass and attacking people.

In the end, even the residents of the city were affected. Their eyes turned red, their hearts became irritable, and their killing instincts were even awakened, and they began to fight each other.

Husband and wife, brothers, sisters, friends...

No matter how close their relationship was on a normal day, at this moment they wanted to kill each other, as if there was some deep hatred that was unforgettable.

"Melissa, what are you doing?"

Sophia, who was still able to keep her sanity, screamed, only to see her best friend Melissa pounce on her like a mad dog, opening her mouth and biting her throat.

Ye Qingzhou raised his hand and knocked her unconscious.

Seeing her friend fall, Sophia quickly hugged her, her expression terrified: "Melissa!"

"Don't worry, she's fine, at least for now."

Ye Qingzhou looked at Sophia curiously and said, "You are just an ordinary person, how can you not be affected by the blood evil energy?"

He opened his third eye and tried to peer into Sophia's mind, but found nothing.

At the same time, blood-red beams of light shot up into the sky from the churches. It was obvious that over the past hundred years, the Red Moon Cult had been using its funds and influence to infiltrate every aspect of the country of Fran.

The entire fashion capital was built according to the will of the Red Moon Cult. Under the feet of its two million residents was a flesh-and-blood magic circle that was so huge that it was beyond imagination.

"What the hell is going on!"

Vivian walked up to Ye Qingzhou with a serious expression: "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything, but I can see."

Ye Qingzhou pointed to his eyes. He possessed the Heavenly Eye and the Divine Eye, so he could see through everything and even observe fate: "I don't like the Red Moon Cult, so I am happy to help you destroy their plans."

As the saying goes, revenge never takes overnight. Now that we have offended the Red Moon Cult, we naturally have to nip the enemy in the bud.

No matter what the Red Moon Cult wants to do by making such a big fuss, as long as it is something the enemy wants to do, we must firmly oppose it and sabotage it.

"it is good."

Vivian stared at Ye Qingzhou deeply. She did not trust Ye Qingzhou at all, but her top priority at the moment was to destroy the Red Moon Cult's plan to sacrifice the entire city with blood.

Even Baker, who regarded Europa as his enemy, chose to cooperate with Section 13 of the European Union's Secret Service in order to rescue the saint.

"According to the information I have investigated, the Saint was brought here to be used as a sacrifice."

When Baker said this, he had a gnashing expression on his face, and it was obvious that he hated the mastermind behind the whole thing to the extreme: "The Saint is the only bloodline of the Night God left in the world. The stinky bats of the Red Moon Cult are tarnishing our devout belief in the Night God!"

Ye Qingzhou's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that the Saint of the Night Cult, like Huang Liwen, probably had a special bloodline left by an ancient emperor-level powerful person.

"Oops!"

Delphine came over with a sniper rifle and said to everyone, "I know what the Red Moon Cult is plotting. They want to hold a ceremony to deify themselves!"

"A ceremony to ascend to the gods?"

"Or to put it another way, in ancient times, the ritual of ascending to the divine rank through blood sacrifice was often called the Blood Praise. It is a sacrificial ritual that can sublimate one's spiritual essence."

Delphine, who came from the Holy Army, was obviously well-educated. She had obtained many ancient secrets about witchcraft and sacrifice within the alchemy school.

After all, alchemy was separated from early witchcraft and alchemy. Although it now specializes in elemental refining, it still retains many contents of sacrificial rituals.

After all, even alchemy often still requires the power of gods.

Delphine continued, "The descendants of the Night God are born with divinity in their bodies, and each generation of the Night Saint is the individual who inherits the most divinity. The Red Moon Cult intends to catalyze the divinity in the Night Saint through large-scale flesh and blood refining. When its growth reaches a critical value, they will kill the Night Saint and seize the activated divinity in her body, thus ascending to heaven and becoming a god!"

"You know too much."

Cardinal Morris, wearing a red robe, appeared in front of everyone with two followers: "My God is about to ascend to the throne, and I will never let you ruin this plan."

"Bishop Maurice!"

Weiwei held the Knight's Spear in her hand, her eyes full of anger: "You actually betrayed your faith in God and joined the Cult of the Red Moon?"

“No, this is God’s will.”

Morris' eyes were calm, and he even put on an extremely pious attitude. He tried to recruit Ye Qingzhou and others with a fanatical tone: "God said that everything is false and everything is permitted. Why don't you join in and join me in this great event?"

"Not interested in."

Ye Qingzhou never believed in God: "I like to control my own destiny, not be a dog for others, even God."

"The alchemy school pursues knowledge and explores mysteries. God is just a forerunner on the road to truth. He should be revered, but he cannot make human free will succumb to him."

Delphine gripped the sniper rifle tightly in her hand, her eyes firm and determined.

The remaining Vivian and Baker also have firm beliefs and it is impossible for them to temporarily convert to the evil god of the Red Moon Cult.

“It’s such a shame.”

Morris waved his hand and immediately gave a decisive order: "Kill them."

"Yes! Lord Bishop!"

Cardinal Priest Simon and Cardinal Deacon Thomas responded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Black Iron-level Holy Blood Knights poured into the central hall from all directions and surrounded Ye Qingzhou and his group, apparently intending to catch them in a jar.

"kill!"

Two Holy Blood Knights holding heavy hammers suddenly swung their weapons and smashed towards Ye Qingzhou.

The dull sound of the wind was full of oppression. The sledgehammer weighing hundreds of kilograms was enough to demolish a house, not to mention breaking human bones. In the hands of two burly Black Iron-level Holy Blood Knights, this thing could create miracles with just a little force.

Dang~
Ye Qingzhou, wearing a thin windbreaker, stood in place and took the opponent's attack without any damage. He even looked a little disgusted: "Such a weak attack, did you not eat?"

Seeing that they were looked down upon, the two Holy Blood Knights swung their huge hammers with great force, continuously bursting out their strength and launching an attack like a violent storm.

clang clang clang clang...

Ye Qingzhou's head, shoulders, chest and back were all smashed by his opponent, but unfortunately, even Ye Qingzhou's golden body could not be broken. Instead, it helped to charge his Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Zheng~
The moment the Tianxing Sword was unsheathed, the sword light was divided into nine parts, blooming into a cold flower of sword energy.

Nine sword-energy dragons then soared into the air, roared toward the sky, and charged in all directions, like a pouring torrent, mighty and unstoppable.

Wherever he went along the way, the tables, chairs and benches in the church were all swept up in the torrent of sword energy and smashed to pieces.

The Holy Blood Knights who swarmed in were scattered and fell all over the place.

When the sword force was gone, the entire central hall had been swept away by Ye Qingzhou.

"Look at the sword."

Ye Qingzhou's figure flashed, and before he could finish his words, the sword had already arrived.

The Heavenly Punishment Sword was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder, chopping towards Cardinal Maurice's head.

Dang~
A scepter made of mithril blocked the edge of Ye Qingzhou's sword. On the top of the scepter, there was a blood-red gem, which was shining and exuding a powerful aura.

yah~
A powerful red electric current burst out from the scepter, which actually penetrated Ye Qingzhou's golden body defense and reached his internal organs, making his muscles and bones numb.

At the same time, two huge hands made of rock suddenly grew out of the hard ground. They put their hands together like slapping a mosquito, trying to beat Ye Qingzhou into a pool of minced meat.

slap~
The huge stone palm struck, causing a loud noise and shattering the surrounding decorative colored glass.

Ye Qingzhou withdrew in time and flew back, narrowly avoiding the attack. Then he looked at the scepter in Morris's hand with a serious expression.

Especially the gem on the top of the scepter that glows with a blood-red light.

"Alchemical creation, the Philosopher's Stone?"

“This is the truth given by our Lord.”

Morris held the scepter calmly, as if he was holding the truth.

The Philosopher's Stone, the supreme creation of the alchemy school, is a 'panacea' that can distort the laws and fulfill all wishes, turn stones into gold, grant immortality, and manipulate the transformation of elements at will... In a sense, although Morris, who holds the Philosopher's Stone, has only the cultivation level of the peak silver level, he already possesses the combat power close to that of a golden martial saint.

"Young man, you are very strong and have extraordinary talents. I am always particularly tolerant of geniuses. As long as you are willing to convert to my Lord, I can forgive the mistakes you have made."

"Really? You are really magnanimous."

After Ye Qingzhou devoured and transformed the blood and thunder evil spirit that had invaded his body, he attacked Morris again: "Give me the Philosopher's Stone in your hand, and I will agree to convert."

Zheng~
The trembling sword blade chopped off the two huge stone palms, and the sharp cold light enveloped Morris's whole body.

The smile on Morris's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes turned cold: "If you are stubborn, then you will taste the feeling of being crushed by the truth."

The scepter gently swept across the ground, and the hard stone slabs suddenly became softer than flowing water. What was even more incredible was that the atomic arrangement of the rock changed, turning from stone into shiny metal.

Hundreds of metal spikes shot out from the ground and stabbed towards Ye Qingzhou fiercely, as if they wanted to pierce him into a sieve.

"Ok?"

Ye Qingzhou felt a strange force at the top of the metal spike, and his mind was frantically warning him that this force was obviously enough to penetrate the protection of the golden body and pose a threat to him.

His mind raced as Ye Qingzhou chose to play it safe. He immediately switched from offense to defense, swinging the Tianxing Sword in his hand to cut at the metal spikes that were attacking from all directions.

The sword tip turned into wings and swept in all directions. Amidst the sharp sounds of clinking, thousands of metal spikes were cut off, demonstrating the superb swordsmanship to the extreme.

"Let's do it together!"

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was in a tough fight, Vivian immediately called on everyone to come down and help and joined the battle.

She and Baker, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards where Morris was.

"You bastard! Where is the Saint?"

The snow-white scimitar drew a gorgeous and cold crescent arc and slashed towards Maurice fiercely, but it was blocked by Cardinal Simon with his bare hands.

His palms, wearing white gloves, are tougher than steel, so they are also called steel hands.

On the other side, Vivian was also stopped by Cardinal Deacon Doma, who was known for his iron legs. His legs could kick out from incredible angles with such force that he could even kick through the deck of a warship.

Simon and Doma both have high-level silver-level strength. They are undoubtedly strong opponents for Vivian and Baker, and it will be difficult for them to defeat them for a while.

"Delphine!"

"understood!"

In fact, without Vivian's reminder, Delphine had already set up the sniper rifle and pointed the gun at Morris.

bang~
The alchemical bullet was fired instantly. The metal bullet head engraved with magic runes gathered the power of the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire. It could be freely combined to form various targeted special tactics.

The bullet shot by Delphine was a gravity bullet of the earth system!

The damage is not high, but the control is extremely strong!
Dang~
The orange-yellow alchemical bullets were blocked by the invisible barrier on Morris' body, but the gravity shackles of the earth were invisible and intangible, but a rule.

Soon, the power of the earth penetrated the barrier and acted on Morris.

Morris felt as if he was bound by shackles and was unable to move for a moment.

good chance!
Ye Qingzhou immediately activated his sword energy without hesitation and began to use his ultimate move.

"The universe depends on the hands, and all transformations depend on the body."

"Nature is human."

“The human heart is a machine.”

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's mind and the sword in his hand became one, urging the killing power carried by the Tianxing Sword.

The huge amount of thought energy accumulated in the world of Xuanyuan Sword passed through Ye Qingzhou's sword heart and poured into the Tianxing Sword. The thought energy gathered by hundreds of millions of lives in the Cangyuan Realm was vast and unparalleled.

When this sword comes out, the sword energy is like a torrent of humanity, endless and unmatched!
The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places!

The earth is filled with murderous intent, dragons and snakes emerge from the land!

Human beings unleash murderous intent, causing heaven and earth to turn upside down!

Heaven and man work together to establish the foundation for all changes.

Zheng~
The Tianxing Sword was dazzling and all was silent between heaven and earth, with only the clanging and roaring sounds of the sword. The cold murderous intent filled everyone's hearts, making them feel uneasy.

As soon as this sword comes out, everything will wither!

The extremely brilliant sword energy is condensed on the sword edge. Even the Philosopher's Stone with a trace of mythological properties can hardly resist this sword move that can cut through anything.

Click~
The absolute barrier on Morris' body was directly shattered by the Tianxing Sword, and he was beheaded by Ye Qingzhou's sword.

But what was strange was that the head that fell to the ground quickly rolled back onto Morris' head, and was connected with flesh and blood, fitting back in perfectly.

Twisting his neck, Morris's expression became ferocious because of anger: "You mortals, how dare you resist the will of God."

The scepter was swung with force, and violent power was released immediately, which shocked Ye Qingzhou and others out of the church.

The Saint-Etienne Cathedral, which had just been rebuilt a few years ago, was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye under the impact of this terrible force.

The collapsed building completely buried Sophia and Melissa, but Ye Qingzhou was no longer able to save them.

"This can't kill you?"

Ye Qingzhou showed a look of surprise, then he opened his third eye and used his numerology to finally understand the reason: "It's the Philosopher's Stone. This ultimate creation of the alchemy school can actually replicate the soul and allow you to 'resurrect from the dead'."

The sword just now was the sword of killing among the swords of the Tao, which could kill all things. Therefore, Ye Qingzhou not only chopped off Morris's head, but also killed his soul.

So Morris was actually dead, and what was resurrected now was just a copy with the same memories and personality.

"Hey, it seems like he can be resurrected infinitely, how do we defeat him?"

Ye Qingzhou dodged the two disintegration rays shot by Morris, and asked Vivian and Delphine behind him without hesitation.

After all, he was not familiar with the specific functions of the Philosopher's Stone, but Vivian and Delphine certainly knew.

Especially Delphine, she herself comes from the alchemy school of the Fran Holy Army.

Delphine actually had a plan. She raised her hand and shot Simon and Doma, creating an opportunity for Vivian and Buckle to fight. Then she sent a telepathic message to Ye Qingzhou: "You shouldn't chop off his head, but chop off his hand. Morris's power comes from the Philosopher's Stone! Without the Philosopher's Stone, he will no longer be immortal!"

"Humph!"

Morris, holding the Philosopher's Stone, obviously heard the two people's telepathic communication. He raised his hand and fired another fission ray at Delphine: "You said too much!"

Delphine, who was standing on the roof, rolled on the ground, but was still hit by Morris's fission ray on the corner of her clothes, causing atomic-level fission.

And this cleavage is still spreading to her body!
Even Ye Qingzhou cannot withstand the atomic-level fragmentation. After all, the defense of the golden body has its limits, let alone this kind of destruction at the level of laws.

Delphine gritted her teeth and quickly tore off her coat, revealing a large expanse of beautiful scenery.

"I'll create an opportunity for you to take action!"

"it is good."

Ye Qingzhou gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, but his body was extremely relaxed, and his eyes were always firmly fixed on the target.

Among the four Silver Grandmasters present, only he could break through Morris's mental force field.

"cover me!"

Morris panicked and quickly called Simon and Doma back to his side, obviously wanting them to block the bullets for him.

But Vivian and Baker would not give him a chance. They tried their best to entangle Simon and Doma, making it impossible for them to escape.

Delphine raised the sniper rifle in her hand, held her breath, and locked her eyes on Morris through the eight-fold scope. Finally, she pulled the trigger.

bang~
The orange-yellow alchemical bullet, propelled by gunpowder, flew out of the barrel, spinning and shooting towards Morris at seven times the speed of sound.

"No!"

In panic, Morris fired several disintegration rays, but all of them missed the target. In the end, he was hit by the bullet containing the earth element, and his body was restrained.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's sword moved.

Zheng~
The sharp blade of the Heavenly Punishment Sword cut through the air, making a roar that resounded through the sky. (End of this chapter)
