Slaying Gods, the agent of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, starting with the Undying Scripture

The Huangpu River in Huaihai City.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, as swift as lightning, instantly piercing through the entire surface of the river.

This sword light was like a peerless sword, incredibly sharp. Wherever it passed, the river was cleaved in two, forming a deep ravine.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ze was greatly alarmed and quickly used its defensive techniques, forming a water curtain in front of it.

However, this seemingly indestructible water curtain was as fragile as paper in the face of the sword light, and was instantly pierced through.

Bai Ze roared, his voice deafening, as if it would tear the entire river surface apart.

It was just about to turn around and meet the sudden enemy when it suddenly felt a sharp pain all over its body.

It looked closely and saw three tiny silver needles piercing its body like lightning, so fast that it was impossible to dodge them.

The three silver needles pierced Bai Ze's vital points with unerring accuracy, causing its body to stiffen instantly and rendering it unable to move an inch.

Bai Ze's eyes widened in astonishment; it had never imagined that the enemy possessed such a powerful hidden weapon.

At this moment, the figure that slowly walked over appeared unusually calm.

His steps seemed slow, yet each step contained boundless power, as if the entire earth was trembling for him.

He exuded a chilling aura that made all living beings feel suffocated.

Even the down-on-his-luck Taoist priest who appeared not long ago was slightly inferior to him.

The figure wearing a straw hat looked like a demon emerging from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

He passed through Bai Ze like a ghost, appearing above Bai Ze's head in a flash.

Then, he gently lifted his foot, as if it were just a trivial movement.

However, this light step generated tremendous power.

Bai Ze's enormous body lay prostrate on the river surface, as if crushed by a mountain, offering no resistance.

Its crimson eyes were filled with fear and despair, and it wanted to roar to scare away the enemy above it.

However, no matter how much it roared, it could not change the situation.

Its figure appeared so small and powerless in the face of this powerful aura.

"Hmm?" Thunder Emperor frowned as he watched this scene.

He originally thought this person who suddenly appeared was there to cause trouble, but he didn't expect him to be there to help.

Moreover, judging from the strength he just displayed, his sword energy was simply abnormally powerful.

The two deities that appeared in Huaihai City were not from the Great Xia pantheon, and could be said to resemble certain historical figures.

Take the down-on-his-luck Taoist priest for example. If you've read the top-secret records of the Night Watchmen and the secret records of the Evil Suppression Bureau, you'll know that he's like Zhang Sanfeng, who vanquished demons in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.

And the one in front of me, wearing a straw hat and a mask, could it be... the Bad Guy Commander Yuan Tiangang?

Furthermore, the Zhenxie Division clearly records that its chief, Gongyang Wan, participated in the formation of the Bad People, and the timelines of the disappearance and reappearance of the core members of the Zhenxie Division and the Bad People are basically consistent.

"Holy crap, what incredible secret have I uncovered? If this guy is the Bad Commander, then he's very likely Gongyang Wan's old flame. Such a huge scoop, and Nie Jinshan isn't even here!"

"This is outrageous!" Lei Di was dumbfounded.

However, it was also very obvious that Bai Ze's condition was rapidly deteriorating. His crimson eyes were gradually returning to their original state as the silver needles in the hands of the Bad Commander fell.

"Bai Ze, as a divine beast of the Heavenly Court, why do you not seek the Heavenly Court after reincarnation, but instead appear in the human world?"

"Heaven... Heavenly Venerable?" Bai Ze Liuli stared at Yuan Tiangang in astonishment, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. His pupils widened as he stared straight at Yuan Tiangang, an indescribable shock welling up in his heart.

As a member of the Heavenly Court, Bai Ze Liuli knew that there were actually four Heavenly Venerables in the Heavenly Court, and the fourth Heavenly Venerable was the most mysterious, with almost no one knowing his true identity and whereabouts.

Even during major events like the Great Xia people entering reincarnation, this Celestial Venerable never showed himself, always responsible for protecting the Heavenly Court, and rarely took action.

However, at this very moment, this mysterious celestial being appeared before him and even saved his life!

"I've saved you today, but if you ever disobey my orders again, even if you regain your morals, I will still slaughter you without hesitation." Yuan Tiangang's voice was deep and authoritative, revealing an unyielding aura.

"I'll give you a little time to say goodbye to your son. He was born to protect this world."

He glanced down at Bai Ze Liuli, then slowly walked to Lei Di's side and sighed softly.

"Come back as soon as possible. You've had enough fun. You're getting on in years, and you're still like this..." Yuan Tiangang's words seemed to carry a hint of helplessness and reproach, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lei Di's behavior.

Lei Di stood there, completely bewildered and utterly clueless.

He felt like he was the center of attention, but he didn't know why.

Watching Yuan Tiangang disappear from his sight, he could only shrug helplessly, muttering to himself, "I thought I was pretty cool, but these two who appeared one after the other are more powerful than the other, completely shocking me."

If that blockhead Nie Jinshan came, he'd probably be scared to death, right?

Moreover, both of these people seemed to have some connection with him, which made the Thunder Emperor even more confused and uneasy.

.......

Rain dripped down Tang Mingxuan's hair, creating tiny ripples in the puddles at his feet.

The cub in his arms let out a weak whimper, its wet fur clinging to his chest, conveying a faint but firm body temperature.

Tang Mingxuan subconsciously tightened his arms, as if this could protect this fragile life from the collapse of the world behind him.

The buildings lining the streets are fading and dissolving at a visible rate.

First the colors disappeared, then the outlines blurred, and finally even the traces of their existence vanished.

A convenience store sign fell with a "ding-dong," but vanished into countless points of light the instant it hit the ground.

Tang Mingxuan did not turn around; his gaze remained fixed on the thick clouds, his brows furrowed into a deep furrow.

"Just hang in there a little longer..." he whispered to the cub in his arms, his voice almost drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Just then, a streak of snow-white light pierced the sky. It was like lightning tearing through the darkness, yet it possessed an incredible gentleness.

The stream of light landed precisely above Tang Mingxuan's head, transforming into a floating figure—Bai Ze.

The moment she appeared, it was as if the whole world had been put on pause.

The swirling water forms a shimmering curtain in the air, and raindrops solidify into millions of crystal beads.

The clouds seemed to be parted by an invisible hand, and a ray of sunlight pierced through, landing precisely where Tang Mingxuan was standing.
