CHAPTER 340: CHAPTER 218: SO I’M THIS STRONG ALREADY

Boom!

Along with Pique crashing into the wall, a thunderous boom echoed through the entire office.

Ignoring the foolish guy, Henry hurriedly ran to the Earth Shrine to carefully inspect it.

Once he confirmed that the Earth Shrine hadn’t suffered any damage, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Pique.

Even though Pique was as strong as an iron tower, he wasn’t feeling well at the moment.

Blood continuously spewed from his mouth, and he looked very lethargic.

Clearly, the hit he received just now had dealt him quite a significant blow.

"Mr. Pique, what are you doing? Who gave you permission to mess with things in my office?" Henry said unhappily.

"Cough, cough, cough, Chief Henry, what have you done? That’s an Evil Spirit. You actually left an Evil Spirit in the police station," Pique angrily shouted.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. This right here is a legitimate Eastern Earth God, very helpful in maintaining local peace. Ever since I brought in the Earth God, our district hasn’t had any Evil Spirits, saving countless police resources.

On the other hand, Mr. Pique, you should know you’re just an assistant hired by the mayor. You have no right to damage my belongings. If you’re disrespectful to the Earth God again, be careful that all our police officers won’t be courteous to you," Henry said discontentedly.

Inside, he was displeased with this suddenly emerging guy, Pique.

Luckily, the Earth God showed its presence, repelling this rude fellow, or else that punch he just made could have smashed the entire Earth Shrine.

"You!" Pique wanted to say something, but due to serious injuries and his anger.

He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and fell unconscious against the wall.

...

"Reckless fool, daring to mess with my Earth Shrine,"

Sun Yan said coldly while fishing by the river.

Within the area influenced by the Earth Shrine, he could detect every movement clearly.

When the one who called himself an Exorcist, Pique, attempted an attack on him, Sun Yan immediately retaliated.

If Sun Yan hadn’t intentionally held back his power, his current Incense Ash Magical Power could have killed Pique with a single blow.

"I didn’t expect even people from the Exorcist Association to appear in Saint Anna City. It seems that the situation is quite unstable now," Sun Yan mused to himself.

Sun Yan looked at the river thoughtfully, as the saying goes, the rougher the waves, the more expensive the fish.

He indeed wanted to see why the Evil God Council and the Exorcist Association gathered in Saint Anna City.

Just as he was about to row the boat to the shore, a large amount of black fog suddenly enveloped the river, covering the surface around Sun Yan.

"Hmm?" Sun Yan put down the fishing rod, raising an eyebrow.

He hadn’t even bothered anyone, and yet someone had a death wish by coming to him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A series of swirling waves sounded from within the black fog, followed by a figure slowly emerging from beneath the water.

The figure was extraordinarily bulky, wearing a full-bodied raincoat, with thick lips and fish-like eyes on a fat, layered face.

At this moment, the peculiar man stared expressionlessly at Sun Yan, his hands slightly drooping, revealing alien hands covered in green fish scales.

Sun Yan stood up, looking at him calmly.

Uninvited guests are never a good sign.

"Are you the one who dug up Master Li’s Artificial Beast and filled the river?" The strange man asked in a bizarre voice, looking at Sun Yan.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yan understood his visitor’s intention; it was due to him fishing out that wild boar Artificial Beast from the riverbed a few days ago.

"Yes, I did. Who are you?" Sun Yan retorted.

"A dying man doesn’t need to know so much."

The stranger stomped heavily on the surface, his body remained unrestrained by water, and he instantly lunged, attacking Sun Yan.

His alien hands sprouted sharp Claw Blades aiming straight for Sun Yan’s head.

No one would doubt that if the Claw Blades sliced even slightly, a human’s fragile neck would immediately break, separating the head from the body.

As the Claw Blades were about to slash Sun Yan’s neck, a clanging sound suddenly resonated in place.

Sun Yan wielded something in his hand, precisely blocking the stranger’s Claw Blades—it was the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade.

"What?" Seeing the weapon in Sun Yan’s hand appear from thin air, the stranger’s expression was startled.

Sun Yan chuckled disdainfully, swung with great force, and with the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, knocked the stranger away.

When it came to strength, with the Assistance Divine Power from the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God, Sun Yan wouldn’t lose to this mysterious guy.

Clang!

The stranger sank into the river instantly, the surface erupted into waves, and soon he vanished without a trace. Sun Yan stood on the boat, looking at the deep river, snorted coldly: "Do you think you can hide? Come out!"

Sun Yan raised a hand, and a Mountain-Cracking Axe appeared in his grasp.

Hurling the Mountain-Cracking Axe into the air, it spun rapidly, and with the infusion of Sun Yan’s Incense Ash Magical Power, its size abruptly expanded.

Compared to the last time at East Sea Chai Family Village where it merely grew to the size of a door board, now with Sun Yan’s enhanced power, the Mountain-Cracking Axe reached the size of a bus.

"Slash!"

Sun Yan pressed his palm downward, shouting loudly.

The Mountain-Cracking Axe descended like a meteor, with terrible force, slashing toward the river.

In an instant, the river was split open into a vacuum zone spanning dozens of meters, and massive waves surged and parted on either side, churning the entire river into a tempestuous storm.

Within the crack made by the Mountain-Cracking Axe, the stranger’s figure was clearly visible.

With eyes wide in disbelief, he exclaimed: "It’s a Magical Treasure! How is this possible, how!"

But before he could make sense of it, the Mountain-Cracking Axe, under Sun Yan’s control, descended with undeniable force.

With nowhere to escape, the stranger could only raise his hands to block, but upon contact with the axe blade, he was shattered into pieces.

The water flowed back, and the crevice left by the Mountain-Cracking Axe soon reverted to its original state.

"I never thought the Mountain-Cracking Axe’s power could be so terrifying. It wasn’t this apparent during the confrontation with Saintess Cizhou,"

Sun Yan remarked in surprise, standing on Wangchuan Ferry.

He had forgotten that even if Saintess Cizhou was weak, she was still a creature that had lived for many years. To ordinary people, she was frightening enough.

The Mountain-Cracking Axe could easily kill Saintess Cizhou, and for ordinary people, its power was earth-shattering.

The stranger, albeit looking extraordinary, was still flesh and bone, and to withstand the axe’s blow was somewhat wishful thinking.

The Wangchuan Ferry bounced and swayed over the river as the surrounding black fog dissipated, and the water calmed down to some extent.

No one would have guessed what had just happened here.

Sun Yan took out the Soul Summoning Banner, waving it in place, attempting to summon the soul of the slain stranger to ask about his origins.

Soon, a fragmented soul emerged from the river, appearing beside the Wangchuan Ferry.

After death, the stranger lost his arrogant demeanor, staring blankly at Sun Yan without moving.

"Who are you, and who sent you to kill me?" Sun Yan asked.

"Master Li, the fourth Speaker of the Evil God Council,"
