"It seems you know my identity, but I'm curious, how did you know? Not even the Holy City should know I'm here. You have many secrets, Jiang Yuan, heretic!"
The aura around Shaliel changed, completely different from his previous easygoing demeanor. At this moment, he was like a drawn sword, pointing directly at Jiang Yuan!
"Already moving to strike? I thought you angels were more patient. I overestimated you." Jiang Yuan chuckled, completely unfazed by the pressure of Shaliel's aura.
"I have no patience for heretics!" Shaliel's pure white wings gradually unfurled behind him.
"Then you have patience for the Red Demon?"
"Everything that happens in the world, as long as it doesn't exceed its proper limits, has nothing to do with angels. Before becoming an Emperor, everything the Red Demon did was merely the trajectory of what should happen in the world," Shaliel said.
"Too hypocritical."
Jiang Yuan sighed, no longer intending to waste words with Shaliel.
He instantly appeared behind Shaliel, whose pure white wings glowed with holy light under the daytime sun.
The more angel wings an angel possessed, the more it proved his power.
Every angel was a Forbidden Spellcasters, possessing even more powerful Angelic Power, and the ability to control the origin of magic.
Angelic Power could be used outside the Holy City, but the power to control the origin of magic could only be used within the Holy City.
At this moment, Shaliel was merely a slightly more powerful Angelic Power Forbidden Spellcasters.
In front of Jiang Yuan, he could be extinguished with a mere flick of the hand.
"Your Angelic Wings are glorious and holy, but your actions are dark and filthy. Things that don't match have no need to be together."
As Jiang Yuan's words fell, Shaliel felt a terrifying force explode behind him, gripping his Angelic Wings.
"What are you doing?!!!" Shaliel realized something, his face changing drastically.
His full power erupted, his pupils turning golden, and the space of Ji Mountain seemed to be affected, peeling away from the dimensional plane.
However, before he could make his next move, intense pain swept through his entire body.
"Ah!!!!!"
Those Angelic Wings were directly torn from Shaliel's back.
Jiang Yuan's movements didn't stop. In a flash, he forcibly tore off the other half of the Angelic Wings as well, casually tossing them aside, and nodded thoughtfully:
"It looks much better without Angelic Wings. It should have been like this all along."
Shaliel stumbled forward a few steps, then spun around abruptly, his golden eyes staring fixedly at Jiang Yuan like a fiend, his voice hoarse: "I want you to die!"
The spatial dimension completely peeled away, seemingly transforming into a temporal beast, raising its world-destroying claw.
It was several times larger than Ji Mountain, and it descended just like that.
All the trees, flowers, plants, rocks, and soil began to crack before even making contact with this dimensional beast claw.
One could imagine how powerful the force would be when it landed!
Facing such an attack, Jiang Yuan remained expressionless.
He merely raised his right index finger and flicked it gently, and a vast spatial storm formed in front of him.
The beast claw made contact with the storm.
In an instant, the beast claw was pulverized, and the body of that temporal beast disappeared without a trace along with it.
All the clouds in the entire sky vanished as a result.
A clear blue!
Countless passersby who witnessed this scene stopped and looked towards Ji Mountain.
Mages also noticed the anomaly at Ji Mountain and rushed over one after another.
"That's Ji Mountain, where the spirit tablets of heroes are kept! Who's causing destruction there!"
"Hurry over, a Mage is illegally using magic!"
"Such a Mage must be severely punished, despicable!"
A group of Mages rushed over in a flurry, but before they even reached the foot of Ji Mountain, a powerful energy knocked many of them unconscious.
The remaining people also had their hearts pounding, unable to move a single step!
At this moment, on Ji Mountain.
The instant the temporal beast shattered, streaks of divine light shone in Shaliel's hands, extending thousands of meters high, transforming into a holy demon-slaying sword forged from light, which he swung towards Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan merely waved his hand again, blocking the demon-slaying holy sword that had pierced through thousands of meters of sky.
With a flick of his finger, it shattered into countless light particles and dispersed.
"Your power is still too weak, Shaliel," Jiang Yuan said indifferently.
He virtually gripped with his right hand, and Shaliel was restrained, unable to break free no matter how much he struggled.
"How can your physical strength be so immense?!!!!" Shaliel looked incredulous.
A human body actually comparable to an Emperor!
Angels' physical bodies were stronger than Mages' because they received the blessing of Angelic Power and the Father.
Why was an ordinary human's physical body stronger than an angel's?!
"Indeed, you are the greatest heretic in this world!" Shaliel shouted.
"If you consider strength to be heresy, then I have nothing to say," Jiang Yuan said.
"Damn it!"
Shaliel's golden eyes widened, his teeth clenched.
He knew very well that with his current strength, it was already difficult to defeat Jiang Yuan, let alone restrain him.
The Holy City believed Jiang Yuan was merely a powerful Super-Order Mage, still within controllable limits.
Now it seemed, Jiang Yuan had not only reached the level of a Forbidden Spellcasters, but his physical body was also powerful enough to rival an Emperor.
He couldn't even perceive how much power that physical body contained!
Jiang Yuan, without anyone realizing it, had broken through the shackles set by the Holy City and become an existence that even an Archangel could not restrain!
"You cannot kill me. The Death of an Archangel will bring you endless trouble. Even if your power is already immense, you are a person, and therefore you must have people you care about. The Holy City will use this to push you step by step into the abyss!"
Shaliel was indeed an angel, but he still feared Death. To avoid being killed by Jiang Yuan, he could only use this method to survive.
"What you said makes some sense." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"That's right, I can sign a contract with you. Just like many secret agreements in the Holy City, from now on, we will not interfere with each other. I can also erase your heretic identity." Shaliel continued.
To survive, he could promise anything.
"Heh heh."
Jiang Yuan chuckled and approached Shaliel.
And Shaliel suddenly felt the power controlling him disappear, a look of joy appearing on his face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make your heretic identity disappear. As for the evil power in this mountain, you can use it as you please." Shaliel finished speaking and was about to leave.
An invisible wall blocked his path.
"I didn't tell you to leave, what are you rushing for?" Jiang Yuan said.
"What else do you want to do?" Shaliel's heart tightened.
"Death is still necessary, otherwise I can't stand a cancerous angel like you continuing to exist in this world."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, a spatial crack appeared beneath Shaliel's feet.
Endless Death poured out from it; that was precisely the Underworld!
