Chapter 220 : Chapter 220
Chapter 220. A Martial God-Level Preacher? I’ll Crush Her All the Same!
Inside the divine cave abode, whose rock walls were carved full of gilded runes, faint golden light flickered.
With two cracking sounds, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade stabbed upside down into the central altar broke free from the restraints of the golden chains and slowly rose into the air.
Buzz!
Divine Power swept through the cave abode like a fierce gale. The follower Sophia had sent up flew backward like a kite with its string cut.
Under Jiang Yichen’s guidance, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade suspended in midair fell with a WHOOSH and landed above the head of the unconscious Chu Xingchen.
The Divine Power emitted by the Divine Weapon lifted Chu Xingchen up. A faint golden barrier condensed around him, and a contract pattern was outlined on the ground.
The Divine Contract Ritual had begun!
Mei Xue’er widened her eyes and looked at Chu Xingchen, who was accepting the Divine Contract, her gaze filled with shock.
The follower Sophia had sent onto the altar had already activated the Divine Contract just now. Once the Divine Contract Ritual began, it basically could not be stopped.
Yet Jiang Yichen had merely recited a single sentence and directly transferred the Divine Contract Ritual onto Chu Xingchen. How was that possible?
For a god to choose a Divine Contract Holder, the candidate had to obtain the god’s approval.
The approval of Illustrious Sage Lord Yang Jian came through the trial of the Divine Beast Xiaotian Dog.
But Chu Xingchen was already unconscious. How could he possibly have passed the trial?
Mei Xue’er could not understand it. As golden light flickered around Jiang Yichen’s finger, Yang Jian’s Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade seemed to obey him and established a Divine Contract with Chu Xingchen.
She could not help recalling the bold words Jiang Yichen had spoken before they entered the ruins.
Whoever he wanted a god to choose, that god had to choose them.
So he had truly not been bragging. This was far too outrageous.
Mei Xue’er’s expression became somewhat blank.
“Controlling Master’s Divine Contract Ritual? This kid…”
On the altar, Xiaotian Dog had returned to the appearance of a small black dog. Its glossy black eyes reflected Jiang Yichen’s figure.
It stroked its whiskers with a front paw and thought to itself.
This kid was definitely not simple. He could casually control Master’s Divine Contract Ritual. Could he be some big shot from the Heavenly Court?
But he looked like a mortal. Could he be hiding his true identity?
The more Xiaotian Dog thought about it, the more shocked it became. However, the heart that had been hanging in suspense just now finally settled.
That Huaxia human’s strength was a little lacking, but his martial talent was also eye-related. He was perfectly suited to inherit Master’s Heavenly Eye.
“Good, good. If an outsider had contracted with him, Master would definitely have used me for dog hotpot after returning from reincarnation!”
It patted its little heart, its expression relaxing.
“No! This is impossible!”
Sophia, riding the Snow-White Pegasus, stared fixedly as the Divine Contract Ritual transferred onto a Huaxia human. Her face was filled with disbelief.
“Once a Divine Contract begins, it represents a god’s approval. It is absolutely impossible for it to be transferred. What kind of evil art did you use?!”
She raised her Golden Holy Sword and pointed it at Jiang Yichen.
Not only was she in disbelief, but the remaining five followers were also stunned speechless.
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. “I decide whom a god contracts with. Is there a problem?”
Sophia’s expression darkened, and dense killing intent surfaced in her eyes.
So this was the Child of Fate from the Goddess of Fate’s oracle? He truly was unexpected.
“Wow, Brother Yichen is amazing! I did not expect everything Brother Yichen said to be true. Even gods listen to you. You are incredible!”
At the side, Su Linyu held her cheeks with both hands and looked at him with eyes full of worship.
Jiang Yichen sighed inwardly. The emotional value provided by a Warrior of Pure Devotion was truly perfect.
He smiled in response to Su Linyu, then swept his gaze across the cave abode.
“Minister Mei, you look a little miserable. What happened?”
Mei Xue’er’s face immediately fell. She turned her head aside and did not want to pay him any attention.
Jiang Yichen smiled, then his gaze landed on Sophia atop the Pegasus. He said calmly, “What kind of death do you want? I am a person who respects life’s choices.”
When Sophia heard this, anger climbed onto her face. She shook her longsword and shield, then ordered, “You will immediately construct a Destruction Array. Even if we destroy these ruins, we cannot allow a Huaxia human to obtain the Divine Contract.”
The followers in clerical robes placed their right hands over the left sides of their chests and bowed respectfully. “Yes, Lady Sophia.”
The five followers flickered and instantly appeared around the Divine Contract Barrier. They began chanting spells no one could understand, and a dark purple array was outlined on the ground.
However, just as the array lines were about to connect, Xiaotian Dog raised its hind leg and sprayed Divine Beast dog urine onto one of the followers’ faces.
Then it leaped up with a flying kick, sending that follower flying straight out. With a BOOM, he crashed into the rock wall.
Xiaotian Dog crouched in front of the Divine Contract Barrier, looked at the remaining four followers, and crooked its front paw, striking a provocative pose.
“Lady Sophia, that dog…”
“Shut up!” Sophia’s eyes were solemn. She gripped her longsword tightly, swept her gaze over the sleeping Sleep God, and said, “Do not fight that dog. Preserve your lives.”
When the followers heard this, their eyes trembled slightly. They had not expected Lady Sophia to care so much about their lives, and they immediately nodded.
“Child of Fate from the oracle, today is the day you die!”
Sophia’s Pegasus neighed, raised its front hooves, and leaped up with force from its hind legs.
“War Trample!”
The Deputy Pope had said that the main target this time was the Child of Fate. Since they could not obtain the Divine Contract of the Huaxia god, then they would kill the Child of Fate first.
Child of Fate?
Jiang Yichen frowned slightly. Space rippled around him, and he and Su Linyu disappeared from where they stood.
The Pegasus then landed where they had been. BOOM! The ground shook, and countless cracks were trampled into it by the Pegasus.
“Jiang Yichen, Chu Xingchen has already accepted the Divine Contract of the Illustrious Sage Lord. He will not be in danger.”
“She is a Level-Nine Preacher of the God-Restoration Church. Her strength is comparable to a Martial God’s, and with the Divine Weapon in her hand, you are not her match.”
Seeing that Jiang Yichen had started fighting Sophia, Mei Xue’er immediately advised him, “Take Sleep God and Tang Long and leave quickly!”
Dragging her severely injured body, she forcibly activated the Law of Charm and gathered power to set up an illusion.
Jiang Yichen was only an Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor. Even if he had Ninth-Rank Talismans and Ninth-Rank Magical Artifacts, he was still not Sophia’s opponent.
After dodging War Trample, Jiang Yichen heard Mei Xue’er’s words and felt speechless inside.
I am not her match? Sigh. Then let me show you.
Just as Jiang Yichen stepped forward, his arm was pulled back.
He froze and looked over his shoulder. Su Linyu’s adorable little face was filled with worry.
“Brother Yichen, why do we not listen to Sister Xue’er? Do not take the risk.”
She bit her red lips as she spoke.
She knew in her heart that Brother Yichen was very powerful. But facing a Foreign God’s Divine Contract Holder with Martial God-level strength and a Divine Weapon, could Brother Yichen really defeat her?
If he was injured, or if something happened to him, she would be devastated.
【Ding! Slacking Choice triggered.】
【Choice One: Listen to Mei Xue’er’s and Su Linyu’s suggestion and use your spatial ability to escape. Reward: the title “Mr. Coward.”
Choice Two: Faced with their suggestion, you choose to slack off and refuse to listen. Whether you can defeat her or not is for you to decide, so why care about other people’s opinions? Reward: “Intermediate Slacking Gift Pack.”】
Looking at the system prompt, Jiang Yichen smiled faintly and rubbed Su Linyu’s head. “Do not worry. I do not even consider this kind of minor character worthy of notice.”
He possessed Supreme-grade · Apotheosis. Forget a Divine Contract Holder with Martial God-level strength—even if a god came, they would have to kneel.
He pulled free from Su Linyu’s hand and took two steps forward under her worried gaze.
On the other side, Xiaotian Dog, which was guarding the Divine Contract Barrier, also cast its gaze over, seemingly very interested.
An anxious expression appeared on Mei Xue’er’s face. “This stubborn idiot! Why is he showing off at a time like this?”
“You Huaxia rat who only knows how to dodge. If you have the guts, face me head-on and—”
Bang!
Before Sophia could finish speaking, Jiang Yichen used spatial teleportation to appear behind her. Purple-black Chaos Aura coiled around him, and with the ultimate strength of his fleshly body, he kicked out.
The sound of metal colliding rang out. Sophia’s figure had already vanished from the Pegasus, slamming into the rune-covered wall like a golden stream of light.
A tremendous impact rang out. Jiang Yichen’s figure flickered again and appeared in front of Sophia.
She was wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. Seeing Jiang Yichen appear instantly, she immediately activated the Divine Weapon Golden Holy Sword, and a strand of golden sword light stabbed toward him.
But what shocked her was that before the golden sword light could even touch Jiang Yichen, it turned into nothingness.
“How is this possible?!”
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. This was the power of the Chaos Body. All attacks became nothingness before it.
He raised his hand, grabbed Sophia by the neck, and forcefully flung her out, sending her flying into the air.
Then he punched her again and again. The golden armor on Sophia’s body could not withstand it at all and turned into metal fragments.
When Mei Xue’er and Su Linyu saw this scene, they froze in place.
A Martial God-level Preacher was being one-sidedly crushed by Jiang Yichen?!
Xiaotian Dog, in the form of a small black dog, revealed an expression of absolute certainty.
“This kid is definitely some big shot from the Heavenly Court in disguise.”
