Nightmare Light

Chapter 165: Fight in the Square

The young priest kept muttering to himself as he led Lin Wang back to the large square in front of the temple.

After the previous wave, there were many more people in the square at this moment.

Countless lay masters of different statures and with different patterns tattooed on their heads and bodies stood in a cluster in the square, looking up towards the temple.

From Lin Wang's perspective, such an astonishingly large-scale gathering poses a huge security risk.

In particular, these are all powerful extraordinary humans... In Lin Wang's opinion, strong strength means a bad temper.

Lin Wang asked the young priest, "The temple has gathered so many lay masters together. Aren't you afraid of creating safety hazards?"

"Safety risk?" The young priest didn't understand what Lin Wang meant.

"These are all lay masters, and each of them is very powerful. If some friction occurs, it will easily cause huge damage." Lin Wang said.

"Rubbing? Here?" the young priest laughed. "In the temple? Under my mother's watchful eyes?"

Lin Wang suddenly realized that he had been mistaken in his previous thinking - this is a world where people worship gods. Under the watchful eyes of gods, people's behavior will be extremely restrained... right?

Although this is a world with true gods, the logic of many things is very different from the world before crossing over.

But Lin Wang believes that any world that relies solely on conventional worship will be unable to completely constrain everyone...

Lin Wang shook his head slightly.

I always feel that it is too idealistic.

He habitually asked, "What if... I mean, what if there happened to be a conflict between two lay masters for whatever reason?"

"in spite of."

"No matter?" Lin Wang was a little surprised by the answer.

"Yes, no matter what." The young priest raised his head, as if it was a matter of course. "Mother bestowed power on lay masters in order to make them stronger."

"When powerful, conflict is inevitable. If two lay masters fight under Mother's watch, it means Mother consents."

Lin Wang's mouth twitched.

These charlatans...their brain circuits are indeed different from those of normal people.

The priest continued, "Besides, lay teachers are born into a profession dedicated to violence... Since fighting is part of their survival, why should we care?"

I always feel like something is wrong.

Lin Wang thought so in his mind and did not continue to dwell on this topic.

At this time, two young high-ranking priests, one holding a wooden basin and the other holding a copper pot, walked out from the depths of the temple.

The music played by the divine band suddenly changed into a more solemn and sonorous tone.

The morning light penetrated the mist and fell on the two of them.

This pair of young high-ranking priests appeared tall and holy in the light.

The priest holding the wooden basin used both hands to push the basin hard into the distance, and a large stream of crystal clear water spilled out of the basin.

The water splashed and just as it was about to hit the ground, there was a loud "clang!" sound.

When the sound rang out, it felt like there was a substantial sound wave in the air, crashing through the crystal water droplets.

The water drop suddenly stopped halfway down, trembled in the air, and then rose into the air!

The crystal water droplets in the air reflected a colorful and holy atmosphere, spreading across the entire square.

"Hurry! Get to the square and find a place to stand. The God's Descent Ceremony is about to begin!"

The young priest patted Lin Wang's arm, a little excited, and urged him to take two quick steps.

"Don't worry about safety issues anymore. Although I said that just now, no one would get into a fight under my mother's nose..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a noise broke out in the square.

Amidst the rising dust, Lin Wang and the priest saw several figures scuffling. Lin Wang, expressionless, glanced at the young priest and said, "Haha."

"..." The young priest looked embarrassed and coughed, "It doesn't matter. The temple won't care about such petty quarrels... Let's find a place to stand."

But Lin Wang did not respond to the priest. Instead, he gradually frowned and strode towards the fighting crowd.

……

boom!
Another punch landed.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and fell to the ground.

She felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

But she still gritted her teeth and threw herself on her grandfather, letting the strong man's fist fall on her instead of hitting her grandfather.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt aggrieved: We were the first to arrive, why did that strong man push us?

Poor grandpa, at his old age, he still has to suffer this grievance with me and get beaten!
If only I hadn't awakened my secular master back then...

Why didn't this identity bring good luck to my grandfather and me? Nor did it bring us a happy life?
Goddess...Mother...

Why did you give me this gift?

She felt pain in her heart, bit her lip, and threw herself on her grandfather.

The old man in white shouted from beneath the small body, "My child! It's me, the old man, who has harmed you... If I had known this would happen, we might as well not have participated in the Enlightenment Festival..."

Fists rained down on the two men.

"Stinky old man! Stupid woman! I told you to get out of here, why didn't you listen?"

A burly man with red snake and insect patterns tattooed on his face was waving his fists aggressively.

"I'm from the Iron River Legion! Get out of here, you idiot with no skills or background!"

Bai Xiaoxiao protected her grandfather, tears welling in her eyes. She shouted to the strong man, "The priests have said that no matter where we stand, the divine descent will have the same effect... Why, why did you still hit us?"

"I don't care what the priests say, I'm going to stand at the front!"

As he said that, he seemed to be still not satisfied, so he raised his foot and stepped on Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao screamed, threw herself on her grandfather, and closed her eyes tightly.

A few seconds later.

The severe pain that I thought would fall on my body did not come.

Bai Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and raised her head.

Not far in front of him, he saw a figure standing who was exceptionally tall, but not bulky, and instead very straight.

The light fell on the figure, whose features were sharp and angular, and whose majestic hair fluttered in the wind.

The tall figure grabbed the man's collar with one hand and lifted him into the air like a cat, the strong man who had just beaten her and her grandfather.

The latter was terrified and angry: "Who are you! Put me down! I am from the Iron River Legion! If you know what's good for you..."

The tall figure spoke calmly and at a steady pace, "You said, you want to stand here?"

"That's right, I want to too."

"So you can go away."

After he finished speaking, he swung the man hard, and the strong man was thrown into circles in the air and flew dozens of meters away. The moment he fell, the crowd around him scattered.

The sturdy man threw the shit to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Wang reached out his hand and pulled the old man and Bai Xiaoxiao up. He smiled and asked them, "Hello, I haven't found a seat yet. Is it convenient for me to stand next to you?"
