Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

The masked man turned into mincemeat without even letting out a scream.

Just as Su Ming was about to retrieve the Golden Cudgel, a strange energy flowed into his body along the cudgel and eventually into the Nine Provinces Cauldron in his dantian.

Su Ming did not feel any improvement in his body, but the Nine Provinces Cauldron in his dantian emitted a few wisps of divine light, no longer resembling a decaying old cauldron.

When it first acquired the Nine Provinces Cauldron, it shone with divine light. However, after becoming the agent of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, it turned into an ordinary old cauldron.

The destruction of a mysterious energy source has caused changes to the cauldron.

At this moment, Su Ming had a bold prediction: after the Nine Provinces Cauldron is fully charged next time, a second divine avatar similar to Sun Wukong will choose it to become the divine agent.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron was taken from the National Guardian Stele, and Yang Jian also said that the National Guardian Stele was forged from the flesh and blood of the Great Xia gods, which means that the Nine Provinces Cauldron contains the inheritance of all the gods.

Thinking of this, Su Ming suddenly felt his face getting hot, and even his palms were sweating a little.

The Nine Cauldrons are his path to godhood, and he can quickly improve by simply killing the mysterious beings. This means he can improve his strength as soon as possible, thus reducing casualties and losses for the people of Great Xia.

Just as Su Ming was pondering, Hong Ying on the rooftop covered her mouth, looking at Su Ming as if she had seen a ghost, utterly incredulous.

She had arrived long before the masked man reached Su Ming. Just as she was about to make her move, Su Ming pulled a stick out of his ear and slammed it down, raising dust and shaking the ground.

After the dust settled, she saw a scene she never expected.

The masked man was turned into a meat patty without any resistance, and Su Ming swatted him as easily as swatting a fly.

This is something no ordinary special forces soldier could do; he must have awakened the Forbidden Ruins.

Hongying quickly jumped down from the building and rushed to Su Ming's side, asking urgently, "Su Ming, what exactly is that stick in your ear? Have you awakened the Forbidden Realm? When did you awaken it? Was it when you fainted? What is your current strength? What Forbidden Realm have you awakened...?"

"Don't get excited. I don't know the situation yet either, and some details are hard to explain. In short, my body has changed. I've most likely awakened the Forbidden Void. I'm not sure about my strength, but I should be able to kill the masked man with one blow."

Su Ming gave a vague explanation and took off his coat, handing it to Hong Ying: "Put this on, you must be exhausted from the journey. What's the situation inside?"

At this moment, Hongying's clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, and were torn to shreds by the masked man's corrosive blood.

Hongying didn't mince words and took the clothes: "We're still fighting. Our captain is facing the Ghost-Faced King alone, and it's difficult for us to help. The others are hunting down the Ghost-Faced Man. They've all gotten hurt to some extent."

"Why don't I join the battle too? I've already awakened the Forbidden Ruins, and I can resolve this quickly. We can also help the captain."

Hongying thought about it for a moment and agreed to Su Ming's volunteering. The pressure was indeed great, otherwise they wouldn't have missed the masked man in the hand.

But he still cautioned, "The masked man you killed was just the one in your hand. When you encounter the fully-formed one, don't be careless. You still lack experience. And you must be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

After saying that, the two walked into the old town.

The interior was now in complete chaos; buildings had collapsed during the battle, and the streets that had once existed had vanished completely.

Corrosive blood was scattered on the ruins, and the stench permeated the air.

Meanwhile, the teammates gathered together, diligently searching for the masked man's whereabouts. Leng Xuan, from his vantage point, had already spotted Hong Ying and Su Ming approaching.

“Hongying, why did you bring Su Ming here? This is not a place for an ordinary person like him. Tell him to leave immediately; it's too dangerous here.”

By the time everyone heard the voice in the earpiece, the two had already arrived in front of them.

Looking at Hongying's behavior, Wu Xiangnan angrily rebuked her: "Hongying, what were you thinking? This place is the most dangerous right now. The masked men could attack at any time. What were you thinking when you brought Su Ming here?"

Everyone rushed to Su Ming's side, but they were all dissatisfied with Hong Ying for bringing Su Ming into the dangerous area without considering the consequences.

This isn't child's play; people can really die here.

Hongying realized that the others hadn't yet grasped Su Ming's strength, so she quickly explained loudly, "Su Ming seems to have awakened the Forbidden Void. He just killed the injured masked man with a single blow. He's very strong, so don't worry."

Wu Xiangnan looked up at the moon, which was getting lower and lower, and didn't have time to worry about it. He reminded her, "Okay, you two don't stray too far. When you find it, stall it immediately. We'll get there as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Vice Captain, I think I'm pretty strong now."

Su Ming and Hong Ying searched the surrounding area together. Because the whole city smelled terrible, they could no longer rely on their sense of smell to search. They could only rely on their experience and the blood energy on their bodies to attract the masked man.

The masked man needs human blood to heal, and Su Ming at this moment fits the description of being weak but having plenty of blood.

Su Ming and Hong Ying simply strolled around, trying to stay close to their teammates so they could provide support at any time.

Furthermore, Su Ming also needs to analyze the current plot progress, since he can't go too far and affect the development of the story in the Godslayer world.

According to the original story, Zhao Kongcheng's death was a crucial turning point for Lin Qiye's decision to join the Night Watch. He couldn't change the plot to prevent any unexpected events, so as long as he didn't kill the Ghost Face King, killing a few Ghost Face Men would be fine.

Moreover, Zhao Kongcheng might not necessarily die by then. With my current strength, I can save Zhao Kongcheng in a critical moment. And I need to make sure Lin Qiye joins the Night Watch.

The deeper they went into the city, the more foul the smell became. Su Ming's stomach churned, and he felt an urge to vomit up his dinner from the night before. Meanwhile, Hong Ying, holding a spear, also looked distressed and kept sniffing her hair.

"They're nearby, be careful," Su Ming warned, already gripping the golden cudgel in his hand.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The sound of saliva came from ahead; a masked man's thin tongue was dripping with viscous fluid.

A longing gleamed on its ghostly face, and it began to run towards Su Ming using limbs that resembled those of a human. A stench, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, instantly assaulted the air.

Hongying immediately unfurled her Forbidden Ruins Rose Flame Feather Robe.

Their companions also rushed over immediately.

Su Ming activated the Divine Ruins and immediately shielded the already injured Hong Ying behind him.

With a flash of golden light in his eyes, he sensed that there were two more masked men lurking about ten meters away.

Ultimately, the reason it was able to easily kill the masked man the first time was simply because it was too badly injured.

This time, the masked man directly in front of them began to move.

Its four limbs moved swiftly, weaving between the flashing streetlights, its figure moving back and forth like a ghost, dodging and weaving.

Su Ming stood still. With his current physical abilities, he couldn't fight three opponents at once. However, thanks to the Golden Cudgel's ability to change shape at will, he could magnify the battlefield to prevent Red Tassel Hand from being injured.

With a fierce sweep of the golden cudgel in three directions, the surrounding houses collapsed instantly, and the two masked men hiding in the shadows were buried under the rubble.

Seizing this rare one-on-one opportunity, Su Ming's eyes flashed with golden light as he immediately identified the masked man's weakness and launched a fierce attack with his club.

It was thrust straight into the masked man's mouth, piercing him to death.

Then the golden cudgel instantly thickened and slammed down on the masked man trapped under the rubble, causing the entire old city to shake violently and dust to fly everywhere.

Leng Xuan asked incredulously into the earpiece, "Is this Su Ming?"
