With just a raised hand, the scythe of raging wind transformed into a gentle breeze, blowing past Jiang Yuan's ear.
His clothes fluttered, and the wind dissipated into the air.
"What in the world was that!!!" Ya Fa lost his composure.
The armored phantom looked at him; despite having no discernible eyes, it plunged him into an unbreathable, extreme cold swamp.
A chilling cold invaded Ya Fa's entire body.
He visibly turned pale and ashen, then suddenly plummeted from the steps.
"Ya Fa!" A Golden Radiance Knight caught Ya Fa.
But he was horrified to discover that Ya Fa had no trace of life left in him; his entire body was frigid.
"Ya Fa is dead! I demand your life in return!" The Golden Radiance Knight roared, looking up.
He was Ya Fa's close friend; they had ascended together from the lowest-ranked Blue Star Knight to Golden Radiance Knight, forging a friendship that surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
He could not tolerate Ya Fa's Death, and a dazzling, sun-like light erupted from his body, pointing directly at Jiang Yuan with the intent of judgment!
Seeing this, the other Golden Radiance Mages, equally grief-stricken and indignant, unleashed their full magical power. They intended to slay Jiang Yuan, this disrespectful and lawless individual, right there!
Dozens of Golden Radiance Knights charged forward simultaneously.
Each of them was an elite among Super-Order Mages, further refined by the meticulous cultivation of the Pathenon Temple.
One could imagine how powerful the force they unleashed together would be!
Unfortunately.
In front of an Emperor, none were a match for a single move!
The armored phantom raised its hand and seized the air.
A terrifying force instantly appeared within the bodies of all Golden Radiance Knights from a distance; they only felt their hearts being tightly clutched.
Their inability to beat made their faces flush red.
Then, the armored phantom's hand gently squeezed.
The hearts of all Golden Radiance Knights were crushed!
They fell from mid-air one after another.
They all followed in Ya Fa's footsteps!
In just over ten seconds, the Knight Palace's high-end combat power was more than half annihilated!
Everyone looked at the armored phantom with terror.
"What in the world is that thing? Why does it possess an Emperor's aura?!!!!" Hailong was incredulous, his body trembling slightly under the Emperor's aura.
The others were the same!
Even many Mages below Super-Level had fainted!
"Come on, didn't you say you wanted to stop us?" Jiang Yuan said with a faint smile.
"If you want to continue blocking our departure, stand in front of me."
The air fell into a deathly silence.
No one dared to easily oppose an Emperor, not even a Forbidden Curse Mage.
Their gazes were fixed on the armored phantom behind Jiang Yuan, guessing its identity.
Was it an Emperor from which demon empire, or did it come from another plane?
"Aren't you going to stop me?"
"Stand in front of me!!!"
Jiang Yuan roared sharply, and the armored phantom simultaneously erupted with overwhelming Emperor's might, striking every Mage present.
Instantly, a storm surged, dark clouds pressed down on the summit of Pathenon Mountain, and thunder roared!
When an Emperor is enraged, the winds and clouds change color!
Everyone felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer, with pain in their internal organs!
Below the Star River Mountain Path, Instructor Pang and the others could not see what was happening above, only feeling an astonishing aura erupting without warning.
"No, this aura!" Old Bao's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked up towards the Goddess Hall.
Zhu Meng was all too familiar with this aura; he would never forget everything he experienced in the Ancient Capital.
The Ancient King, an Emperor through the ages, awakened from the Nether Abyss and resolved the undead crisis for Huaxia!
"It's the Ancient King's aura!" Zhu Meng said.
"How could the Ancient King appear here? This is Greece!" Instructor Pang was greatly shocked.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"
The cold air dampened the emerald-blue flying flowers on the divine mountain, scattering them everywhere.
Although it wasn't winter, everyone shivered from the cold.
"What, weren't you just so self-righteous about keeping us here? Why are you silent now?" Jiang Yuan chuckled, his tone filled with disdain for the Parthenon.
"The dignity of the Parthenon…" The Judgement Hall Master was about to speak but was extinguished by the armored phantom's invisible gaze.
He instantly lost his life and fell stiffly to the ground.
With the Emperor's might displayed once more, the Parthenon crowd dared not make any further moves.
None of them knew how much of the Emperor's power this Emperor phantom could exert, or how long it could last.
At the very least, slaying Mages below the Forbidden Curse level was as simple as blowing away an ant.
"Hmph." Jiang Yuan's cold gaze swept across them, and many people fearfully averted their eyes. Only a few Hall Masters, the Grand Sage, and the Hall Mother Pamir, along with a handful of others, could withstand this oppressive gaze.
"You cannot judge Xinxia." Jiang Yuan turned his head and said to the already stunned Mo Fan and Xinxia, "Come down the mountain with me."
"Oh, oh!" Mo Fan and Xinxia quickly followed.
The three walked down the mountain, with the armored phantom suspended above them.
"Why are you saving Ye Xinxia, who is Salang? She caused such terrifying incidents in Huaxia; do you really have to let her escape justice?" Hailong finally couldn't help but speak out.
As a powerful individual, he was not brainless.
He was very clear about the gap between himself and an Emperor-level being.
But if it was to uphold the supreme, inviolable sanctity of the Pathenon Temple, he would rush to the forefront regardless of the cost!
"Why are you so certain that Xinxia is Salang? Just based on that Bishop's Bloodstone?" Jiang Yuan stopped and looked coldly at Hailong.
"I…" Hailong fell silent.
The Bishop's Bloodstone's reaction to Ye Xinxia was not strong; this situation did not necessarily mean Ye Xinxia was Salang.
"Even if she isn't Salang, she has the same blood flowing in her veins as Salang, and she killed Penny Jia, who was our Goddess candidate! She killed her right in front of us! Ye Xinxia is a demon, and she shouldn't exist in this world! If you save her, you are an enemy of all humanity!" The Grand Sage broke the silence.
Jiang Yuan "Tsked," and the armored phantom's right hand directly reached into the void, extending through space behind the Grand Sage, and seized the Grand Sage's head.
"Bang!"
Blood and brains splattered.
The headless body lost all its strength and fell to the ground, gushing blood flowing to Conti of the Ocean Alliance not far away.
The Grand Sage, who held a high position, never imagined that his Death would be so tragic and undignified.
"Avenge the Grand Sage!!!!"
The many Mages who blindly followed the Grand Sage immediately roared, hoping to dispel the fear in their hearts with this shout of anger.
It must be said that people with faith can indeed unleash some extraordinary power.
They actually managed to break free from the aura emitted by the armored phantom and charged towards Jiang Yuan.
However, not a single one of them could fully cast a spell; they all died within three seconds of their angry roar.
In this way, most of the people in the temple who supported Yi Zhisha were dead.
"Have you killed enough?" Mother of the Temple Pamir finally stepped forward after seeing all these people dead.
