Before it was done, the black object appeared once again with a swish, and hit on its head again with a bam.
"Idiot, how dare you throw that at me again! Everyone attack, kill that fellow! I've already broken their army force apart, nobody will be able to hurt your bodies!"
The second time Vigilante A cast the object out, some of them with profound strength realized it was actually just a black ruined book...
The cobra brayed backwards, sending groups of bloodthirsty demons and beasts charging towards the walls of the city ferociously!
Fang Ning had never really witnessed the siege systems of the new era, and he finally managed to take a good look.
He only saw a surge of earthly yellow that flashed suddenly ahead of the demons and beasts. Those bloodthirsty demons were not bothered at all; they kept charging forward.
Followed by that, Fang Ning saw a gigantic gully a hundred meters deep and ten meters wide suddenly appear between the beasts and the city wall; it was like a sinkhole!
Some bloodthirsty demons that were more agile managed to leap over the gully at once, but there was still a third of them who had lost their rationality still charged forward violently, throwing themselves into gigantic gorge!
Of course, Fang Ning knew that those were all Pond-level demons, according to official descriptions, those were the result of Grade-A genius demon powerhouses that lost their mental abilities. Adding on to that, after countless years of toughening of their flesh, their defensive skills had already become stronger than ever, they could not be simply killed off...
"Haha, is that all the tricks that you've got? Prepare to die!"
The cobra continued driving those demons out to attack. Right after it said that, the snake flattened its body. The Flying Book of Vigilante was almost oblivious to it, however, and hit it straight on its flat snakehead...
"Impossible, how can I not be able to dodge it? What have you actually done?"
Fang Ning was equally confused as well, but he knew that it was not the time to look at the System Notifications, in case sir System wanted to call him, he must be prepared instantly.
Therefore, he could only repress his doubt and wait until the war was over.
The cobra suddenly backed off, as if it were avoiding the book, it went almost thousands of meters back, such that when the people looked at it from the city wall again, they could only see a small back dot...
The people could not help but become worried; they supposed that Vigilante A could not hit him anymore.
Nonetheless, right after that, the cobra's flustered and exasperated voice could still be heard from afar.
"This is impossible, it's impossible that you'll hit me every time!"
"Bam!"
"You're courting death!"
"Bang!"
On the walls of the city, the people secretly felt doubtful whilst protecting the formation to defend the attack of the demons. They thought, "What Vigilante A is doing seems to be useless, what's he doing this for, really?"
However, the next moment, they knew Vigilante A's true motive: the cobra seemed to be completely enraged, but it also looked like it became foolish suddenly. It thought, "The beasts had not yet suffered any real loss, this time it's different from before, it actually personally made a move in advance!"
Even the green lizard demon that was always beside it had not been asked to make a move at all, it looked like it wanted to take revenge on Vigilante A personally.
It no longer hid behind the cobra. Instead, it crawled under the walls speedily, and went much closer than before, such that it was only three steps away from the gully and just a short distance from the city wall!
The people could clearly see its hideous and flat head again, and its scarily long snake body.
All the while, they had never seen a top Pond-level powerhouse that was close to being a Lake-level powerhouse making a move.
If according to official documents, it would be a Grade-A prime and superlative powerhouse that would be personally making a move!
"Now I'll let a True Dragon like you experience my true ultimate ability for ruining my great undertaking to become immortal!! It'll be a skill that even a True Dragon won't be able to resist!"
"The last time when I retreated, I released an invincible poison that was impossible to discover; it's soundless and still, and its spread was slow. It can only go against weaklings below Grade-C, but it's enough to counter an army force like yours."
"Initially, I wanted to utilize a stratagem to lure you out and delay you for two more days, True Dragon, so that the poison in their hearts will completely take over and be incurable. In the end, you were smart enough to actually realize my scheme in advance, but it'll only extend your demise by two days!"
"Now, I'll let you experience the Killing Curse that I specially cultivated to counter Grade-A powerhouses! This will be an insta-kill!"
The sound of the cobra rang throughout the entire ravine. On the wall of the city, Qiao Zijiang's expression changed as she heard it.
She reminded anxiously, "Everybody, fear not, defend your hearts! This is definitely the Curse Technique that is specially directed at souls. As expected, this venomous snake won't battle face to face, it'll only use the most sinister methods!"
Shaz the cobra said, "Hmph, what a wise woman, even if you can figure it out, nobody will be able to defend against it!"
As he sneered, two faint and odd green rays suddenly rose from its pair of chilly snake eyes. Once the two faint green rays appeared, they immediately shot towards somebody from the wall of the city!
The people felt a shiver at once, and were quickly thrown into high alert.
At that moment, most of the people looked towards Vigilante A subconsciously, they wondered, (Will the hero, the Venerable Dragon God, be able to withstand the evil Curse Technique on souls?)
However, there was still one person who was too frightened to realize that those two faint green rays were aiming for the person she cared about most, and that person seemed to be unaware of it at all!
"Uncle, be care..."
Before she could even alert him, a ghastly sound was heard, "Dispel his spirit and take his soul, my order shall be obeyed! Qiao Anping, begone your soul!"
"Ah?!" everyone thought. The people thought that its target would only be Vigilante A, who was infuriating it. Never in their minds had they thought that it would actually be Qiao Anping, and it was so cunning! Could it be that it had not turned foolish after all?
Above the wall of the city, Qiao Anping, risking his life to slaughter, pounced towards the demons and beasts on the wall. Blood-red rays emitted from his sword as he tried his utmost to destabilize up their attacking pace. Since he was too focused on killing the enemy, he did not realize that the target of those two green rays was actually him...
Once Shaz executed his move, he suddenly stopped attacking. A dazed expression took over its face and his eyes were devoid of spirit. He then keeled over backwards!
Everyone was struck dumb at once, but Qiao Zijiang on the other hand had tears rolling in her eyes. She had expected it from the start. At that moment, she quickly teleported and hugged her own uncle to hold him.
"Uncle, you're alright!"
"You're the successor of Killing Path in Qiao Family, you have a soaring murderous intent as protection, a trivial curse directed at souls would have absolutely no effect on you!"
However, Qiao Anping seemed like he could not hear her at all, he laid in his niece's arms and did not move an inch, his eyes had lost their focus, and he looked just like a statue, soulless and spiritless...
Regardless of how Qiao Zijiang called out to him, he did not respond at all.
"Hahaha, his soul has already been taken away by my Killing Curse, from now onwards, he'll only be a living-dead! Aren't you afraid now! You're next in line, Vigilante A!"
Initially, it killed Qiao Anping to make Vigilante A torment in fear, sure enough, it had lost its mind from all the hatred. It should not be the act of a wise boss, because it made Vigilante A defensive...
The two faint green rays shifted its target and projected on Vigilante A's head instead!
Upon hearing what Shaz said, Vigilante A flew everywhere to avoid it, but how fast was the speed of light? It was completely locked onto his head all this while!
Vigilante A seemed to be unable to avoid it at all.
"Dispel his spirit and take his soul, my order shall be obeyed! Vigilante A, begone your soul!"
When Fang Ning saw that, he was utterly shocked, he thought, "Even Qiao Anping perished? He's one of the six powerhouses of the Truth Department in China, a locally cultivated Grade-A powerhouse!"
At that moment, Sir System's strength could not be any higher than the opponent...
His heart tensed up at that time, but he noticed that there were no movements at all, as if he was not affected in the least.
He asked hurriedly, "Sir System, are you alright?!"
The System said, "I'm alright, it's not shouting my name anyway..."
Fang Ning was relieved after hearing that, then he asked again, "Is Qiao Anping really dead? That fellow has a towering heroic spirit, it doesn't look like he's a short-lived person..."
The System replied, "Eh, host, since when have you started telling fortunes? Qiao Anping's three spiritual and seven physical souls have been severely injured, he's really not much different from a dead person. He can be saved by a few Soul Strengthening Pills, though. Why is Qiao Zijiang so upset?"
Fang Ning was slightly relieved, after all, Qiao Anping was his ally, he would not feel good if he actually died.
He was speechless towards the System again."She's a young lady, she doesn't know of your abilities. She's mistakenly thought that her relative had passed away, so it's completely normal for her to cry over it. You're no human anyway, how could you understand the value of family affection?"
The System said, "I'm not interested in her family affection, but I'm quite interested in her fortune. I remember that she's very wealthy, the first time we met, she gifted us fifty million for killing the three demons of Bai Family and for regaining his brother's strength. Later on when we save his uncle's life, she'll probably gift us five hundred million, won't she?"
Fang Ning responded, "You're really evil..."
Although that was true too, Fang Ning was relieved. Since Qiao Anping did not die, Vigilante A would at most be severely injured if it suffered those two green rays...
At that moment, the beasts were still attacking the wall of the city. Due to the Defense Formation that kept lighting up, they obstructed the barbaric charges and hits from the enemy.
Fortunately, they had no sentience, and did not understand the rhythm of attack. They could not even notice the weakness of the formation, or else, there would be no telling how long the defense could go on.
Nevertheless, the people had no mood to pay attention to the defense of the wall, they stared at Vigilante A together instead.
From what they saw, although they were obviously upset and agonized as Qiao Anping had fallen, it was not the time for mourning.
Should Vigilante A die as well, Elder Hai was already at a very old age and his powers were not used massacres, even though Elder Hai was a Grade-A powerhouse. It was the same case for Elder Xu too, he was still treating the people in the army force.
There was no other Grade-A powerhouse present, which meant nobody would be able to hold that cobra back. Morale would soon plummet...
Then, the entire Land of Heritage would be snatched away by the Indians, and the foundation of Truth Department would suffer great losses, causing them to lose their absolute power to control complicated situations in China. They were unsure of how many sacrifices it would take to turn those situations back around bit by bit.
At that time, Vigilante A was in a daze as the System and Fang Ning were still blabbering.
When the people saw that, regardless of all the training that they had been through and how firm their aspirations were, they could not help but feel powerless!
It was right a "bam" sound was heard. Their sense of powerless was driven away. Vigilante A seemed to be alright, and even seemed to look... hopeful?
"Detestable, how dare you still hit me with that old book, and you're actually unscathed? This isn't right! Damn it, why is my mind suddenly in a mess, I actually took your code given by the Truth Department as your real name! I've wasted my essence for nothing..."
Upon hearing that, the people were glad. They thought, "Who gave Vigilante A the code from the beginning? Seems like it saved his life?"
However, right after that, they were worried again.
"Dispel his spirit and take his soul, my order will be obeyed! Venerable Dragon God, begone your soul!"
"The Venerable Dragon God is one of the two names of True Dragons that was mentioned by the Venerable White Dragon itself, can he really be alright this time?" thought Shaz.
Fang Ning sounded calm as he thought, "I made that up too..."
Fang Ning could see through the opponent's background, "Its Killing Curse is extremely powerful indeed, but there's a restriction to it. In order for it to work, one, it'll have to lock its eyes on the other party at a close distance with the odd green ray, and the other party's real name has to be mentioned in the curse."
The System said, "That's right, it has to be mentioned, host, you like to overcompensate for so much and made so many cover-ups for yourself, you really have such foresight. You're saving me a lot of effort now."
This time round, the people had no need to see if Vigilante A was well, because a "bam" sound was heard, and the "Flying Book of Vigilante" managed to hit the snake's head again!
"Curses, what in the world is your true name? Dispel his spirit and take his soul, my order will be obeyed! Venerable White Dragon, begone your soul!"
Fang Ning thought to himself, "Neither of them are..."
"One last one, dispel his spirit and take his soul, my order will be obeyed! Hero of Qi City, begone your soul!"
Again, Fang Ning thought, "Still wrong..."
Shaz the cobra was furious.
"This is infuriating, aren't you a hero? I see you're nothing but a dishonorable living being with ignoble existence! You don't even dare to use your real name at all, you're obviously all walk no talk, what's with all the warrior, and hero, rubbish, they're all just lies!"
Fang Ning thought, "Excuse me, I'm just that dishonorable, I don't want to use my real name, what are you going to do about it..."
"Isn't this all for guarding against your skills? If it was the new era, where there are no idiots like you, why would I, Fang Ning use my own identity, why would I want to make so many cover-ups for myself, I find it very troublesome too..."
It wanted to use the Killing Curse again, but it did not say a thing after a long while. It was then that the people realized that its body had already shriveled unknowingly, as compared to before, it seemed to have shrunk to half of its original size.
The System said, "This is great, not only the venomous snake has become dumb, its strength has greatly declined too, it's showtime!"
