Chapter 716 - 706: Three-eyed Blood Crow
"I definitely won’t hurt you after I come out, but I can’t provide any guarantee without evidence."
"However, letting me out is the only chance of survival for everyone present; otherwise, we’re all going to die!"
The Purifying Angel spoke urgently. Those cicadas were draining his strength; once the energy inside him dropped to a certain level, even if he could emerge from the statue, he would be powerless against these cicadas.
"This thing is targeting the Creation Church. Don’t tell me you think they will spare you, and once this thing grows in strength, it’s not just us angels that are going to die..."
Yan Xiu sighed. He knew the Purifying Angel was telling the truth. On the way here, he had seen some documents, and at every event, the majority of the deaths were not among the clergy but the innocent believers.
But now, letting the Purifying Angel out meant danger for himself, Yan Xiu, especially since, when he severed the connection with the Glory Church, this being had tried to take over his body.
As the only combat-ready angel grew more and more wounded, and the other colleagues were also close to their limits, Yan Xiu suddenly extended his finger towards the statue of the Purifying Angel and recited a spell.
The stone skin on the surface of the Purifying Angel shattered abruptly. The gargantuan angel with three faces and six arms suddenly reached out, catching three of the angels that were absorbing divine power from his body, and brutally crushed them.
Watching the Purifying Angel unveil his prowess, Yan Xiu quietly slipped into a small stand of trees by the road.
He had unsealed the Purifying Angel not because he had fallen for the lies but because he didn’t want others to suffer due to his own grudges. Trusting his life to an enemy was something foolish he wouldn’t do.
Even with the Purifying Angel’s strength, it would probably take him a good while to clear out these cicadas, which was enough time for Yan Xiu to escape.
