Chapter 798 Collapse of Order

Not enough Small Circle points?

Xiahou Aotian's heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly filled with anxiety. At such a crucial moment, he was failing for such a ridiculous reason as "not enough points"?

Sure enough, most supporting characters are unreliable. The only golden supporting characters in his life are Yuanshi Tianzun and Fu Qingyang.

Tianxia Guihuo counts as half, and the others are a bit lacking.

Although he was panicking inside, as a resourceful scholar, Xiahou Aotian remained calm on the surface, even letting out a deep growl:

"Damn psychic, scavenging trash, die!"

With that, the three-colored flames surged, melting the surrounding materials, and instantly forging a jet-black flying knife, whistling towards Small Circle.

The flying knife came with armor-piercing, locking, bleeding, poisoning, and other functions.

Just a casually made mid-grade item.

The three enemies were already suspicious, so he had to strike first and pretend to kill Small Circle. This would dispel their suspicions or give them no time to think.

Small Circle flapped her thin wings, dodging the lightning-fast flying knife. Then, she darted left and right, forced to tangle with the automatically locking flying knife.

The Sleeping Dragon Duke, Blood Liquid, and Human-Animal Hybrid watched coldly, without offering to help.

This was awkward... Xiahou Aotian froze, unsure whether to take back the knife or kill the damn psychic.

The seductive woman curled her lips and smiled, "For us, three gods against one is a guaranteed victory, whether she's here or not. Since you want to kill her, go ahead."

Blood Liquid said coldly, "There's definitely something wrong. This woman is with the Lawful faction. What a disgrace to freedom."

The Sleeping Dragon Duke looked tired, half-asleep, "Destroy the Gu Wizard's avatar. Any variables must be nipped in the bud."

The god behind the seductive woman/human-animal hybrid flapped its membranous wings and charged towards the Gu Wizard's avatar.

Small tricks are useless against peak Saints! Seeing this, Xiahou Aotian immediately reached out and remotely controlled the flying knife, ordering it to attack the aberrant "Human-Animal Hybrid."

The flying knife was as fast as a phantom, attacking from behind, but before it hit the enemy, it suddenly changed its trajectory and pinned itself to the ground.

Any attack is ineffective against an alcoholic; you can never hit the target.

Brilliant starlight rose beside Small Circle. Zhang Yuanqing appeared in the Thunder God Set, raising his right arm, which was wreathed in bright blue electricity, his palm facing the Kromi Devil.

"Star Official?" The Blood Liquid in the distance immediately used the ability "Distorted Sense of Direction," trying to change the direction of Zhang Yuanqing's attack and make it miss.

However, the distortion ability cast with the power of a god couldn't affect the unfamiliar Star Official.

At the critical moment, a beam of dark light shot out, hitting Zhang Yuanqing's chest.

The beam didn't cause any damage, but rippled like black smoke.

The next moment, the arc of electricity around Zhang Yuanqing extinguished, the charging electromagnetic cannon disappeared, and the two Thunder God Sets retracted their bright blue light, peeling off him and returning to two dim "thunderballs."

The spirituality of the items fell into slumber; they were sealed.

The one who attacked was the Sleeping Dragon Duke.

Damn it! Zhang Yuanqing cursed inwardly, picked up the two sets, and vanished into starlight before the Kromi Devil could pounce.

"Boom!"

The goat-hoofed, goat-horned demon crashed down, shaking the entire temple. A deep pit was smashed into the ground where Zhang Yuanqing had been.

Small Circle had to flap her wings and fly away, escaping the battlefield.

The Kromi Devil neither chased Zhang Yuanqing nor Small Circle. Driven by the "Human-Animal Hybrid," it punched the statue.

Seeing this, Xiahou Aotian stomped heavily, and a golden circle quickly spread out, enveloping the Kromi Devil and the statue together, covering the Gu Wizard's divine avatar with a layer of golden light.

Immediately afterward, another Taiji Eight Trigrams array spread from under his feet, enveloping the entire temple. Yin and Yang, and the Eight Trigrams rotated simultaneously, evolving into the Sixty-Four Trigrams.

The Kromi Devil, who had been in front of the statue a moment ago, was teleported dozens of meters away in the next, standing in the "Dui" position.

The "Human-Animal Hybrid" only felt his body sink into the mud, his shoulders bearing the weight of a mountain, subjected to a powerful imprisonment.

The Sleeping Dragon Duke and Blood Liquid also felt their bodies sink, as if trapped in mud, struggling to move.

"The array consumes too much spiritual energy. I can't hold on for long!" Xiahou Aotian shouted, "Quickly figure out what to do about the points! When this protagonist entered the killing instance, I converted all the money from the company account into materials and items. If I die, I won't return a single cent to you!"

He was saying these words to Yuanshi Tianzun.

He hadn't told anyone about secretly misappropriating public funds, not because he was afraid of taking responsibility, but because he felt it was dishonorable and would affect his image of being a paragon in front of others.

Xiahou Aotian disdained Yuanshi Tianzun's help. Entering the killing instance alone and becoming a great artificer was the protagonist's script.

Starlight rose beside Jiang Ju and the other two. Small Circle landed simultaneously, looked at her lover, and said quickly:

"What to do?"

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, quickly looked around, and then opened the points leaderboard.

Only 14 people remained in the entire instance. Excluding Small Circle herself, only three evil professionals remained, but each one controlled a divine avatar.

It was impossible to kill them to plunder points. If they could, they wouldn't need the Gu Wizard's avatar.

The only way now was to kill lawful professionals!

Apart from the unconscious Yin Ji and Xiahou Aotian standing at the front, the lawful professionals present looked at each other, avoiding each other's gaze, and all chose silence.

In the atmosphere of solidified silence, the only Knight, Xia Zuo, suddenly said:

"Kill me!"

The lawful professionals present all looked at him, and Xiahou Aotian also turned his head slightly.

Meeting everyone's gaze, a bitter smile appeared on Xia Zuo's cold face:

"My injuries are too severe. I won't live for more than three hours. Killing me for points gives the Lawful camp a chance to win. Hurry up, I can't hold on any longer."

Huang Taiji was silent for a few seconds and said, "I have Life Essence. I can save your life."

Yuanshi's Life Essence had been exhausted. Alicia's Life Essence had been used to save Osmond. Jiang Ju and Yin Ji's miserable appearance showed that Life Essence had long been exhausted.

Including Xia Zuo himself.

But he had never used Life Essence from beginning to end and still had a few bottles in his inventory.

Xia Zuo shook his head and looked at Xiahou Aotian in front of him:

"He won't last three hours. The Sleeping Dragon Duke and the others have been consuming the Alchemist's spiritual energy. He's at the end of his rope. Saving me is useless. Everyone here is an experienced Saint. Be decisive when you need to be."

"It's Xiahou Aotian! You can also call me the Protagonist!" Xiahou Aotian corrected unhappily, paused, and his tone softened: "Whatever you want..."

As he spoke, the god behind Blood Liquid raised its staff and tapped the ground. With a "thud," the Sixty-Four Trigrams diagram rotated sluggishly, like a jammed machine.

The Sleeping Dragon Duke still looked drowsy, calm, and his expression did not change with the situation on the battlefield.

In the darkness floating behind him, wisps of smoke spewed out. These smokes fell on the array, causing the already sluggish array to collapse rapidly, disintegrating into light dust.

Chapter 798 Collapse of Order

Xiahou Aotian stomped his foot to stabilize the array. His left hand grabbed the three-colored flame in the palm of the divine avatar behind him and threw it out fiercely, "Fix!!"

Blood flowed from his seven orifices like a waterfall.

The three-colored flames fell to the ground, quickly spreading and covering the entire array diagram, refining the "Distortion Power" and "Sealing Power," and imprisoning the three again.

"Hurry up! I can't hold on!" Xiahou Aotian roared.

He was like a torch, burning himself crazily to barely imprison the three.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xia Zuo and said softly:

"What compensation do you want?"

"My father died in the 2008 financial crisis, my mother died of illness, and my sister has her own family and is living a happy and peaceful life. I don't want you to disturb them either." Xia Zuo said in a low voice:

"If you have to compensate, then continue to protect the order for me. I hope my death today can be exchanged for six Sovereigns in the Lawful camp!

"I met a senior Knight, his name was Zhai Cai. He once wanted to take me as a student, but I didn't pass the assessment. He said a word, and I remember it to this day."

Xia Zuo struggled to prop up his waist, his pale face solemn:

"Protection is the duty of a Knight, and sacrifice is the destiny of a Knight. As long as Knights exist, order will not perish!"

Small Circle stepped forward and stabbed him in the chest with a palm blade, destroying his heart.

New Yueshire.

As the largest port in the world, freighters, fishing boats, and cruise ships are always floating near the Port of New Yue.

A freighter had just left the port, and the hull shook violently. Based on their experience, the crew immediately judged that the freighter had run aground.

But New Yueshire is a deep-water port, how could it run aground?

The experienced crew put on life jackets to prevent the worst, and at the same time rushed out of the cabin to the deck to check the situation.

A crew member leaning over the edge of the deck suddenly saw a huge shadow flashing in the water.

The next second, a giant tentacle emerged from the water and wrapped around the hull. More tentacles emerged from the sea and wrapped around the hull.

In the distance, there was a "splash" and a loud noise, and a dark red squid emerged from the water, its size larger than the freighter.

In a tooth-aching sound, the freighter was twisted off by the tentacles and sank into the sea.

In New Yueshire, on the sea, sea monsters of different species and huge sizes broke out of the sea, swallowing all the freighters, cruise ships, and fishing boats floating on the sea.

A huge island appeared at the end of the sea horizon and floated towards New Yueshire.

The island was filled with smoke-like purple clouds, tumbling in layers, covering the sky and the sun. It quickly occupied half of the sky and was still spreading rapidly. Before long, the entire New Yueshire was covered by purple smoke.

As the purple clouds rolled, a pair of cold and deep eyes suddenly opened.

"According to the information sent back from various branches, there have been terrorist attacks in seven provinces and more than 20 cities across the country. This is a report temporarily compiled by the Secretariat based on emergency emails."

In the conference room, a middle-aged man in a suit picked up the remote control and turned on the projector.

The Nine Elders at the conference table, the young white-robed Ruler, all turned their gazes over.

This report was shocking. Illusionists were killing wantonly in the downtown area, extracting the souls of ordinary people to refine materials, nourish items, and cultivate resentful spirits.

Gu Wizards used living people to refine Gu, and the Gu swarms covered schools and communities, turning living people into monsters that killed each other, cultivating Gu Kings.

The Enchanting Demons slaughtered ordinary people arbitrarily, releasing the killing instance in their hearts to their heart's content.

Things they wanted to do but dared not do in the past were now done without scruples.

And these were all disorderly killings. The evil professionals of the three major organizations were more orderly. They destroyed monitoring and power systems, attacked banks, wealthy households, and government enterprises that controlled scarce resources, and plundered them on a large scale.

The military regions in the south and northwest were also attacked, with countless casualties, and the armory was looted.

Someone posted videos of evil professionals abusing their powers to burn, kill, and plunder on the Internet, exposing the existence of superpowers, causing huge social unrest and public opinion.

And the value of morality has only disappeared for half a day.

Not only evil professionals, but even some Lawful professionals in the private sector were taking advantage of the fire, either taking the opportunity to plunder money or taking revenge on their enemies, releasing the demons in their hearts and enjoying the joy of disorder.

The elders of the branches in various provinces and cities were all out, busy and overwhelmed.

But the battle between them brought greater casualties and destruction.

The middle-aged man in the suit said in a deep voice:

"We have dispatched Sovereigns from the headquarters to patrol the entire Jingshire to ensure the safety of Jingshire residents, especially the safety of those people. But the government is very angry about the sudden incident and wants us to quell the unrest as soon as possible and give them an explanation!"

Before the Nine Elders could speak, the young white-robed Ruler said coldly:

"Order collapses in three days, and the whole country falls into chaos in seven days, this is the answer!"

Fu Qingyang looked around at the Nine Elders at the conference table:

"At this time, there is no need to consider the government's thoughts and suggestions. Just let them cooperate unconditionally. Everyone, I don't know what happened in the Spirit Realm, and the five Alliance Leaders have not responded. The only thing that can be determined is that the decisive battle between Lawful and Evil has begun."

At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a senior clerk broke in. She looked terrified and her lips were trembling:

"The Sea God Church sent a request for help. The Evil camp, a demigod, gathered in New Yueshire to hunt down the Sea Emperor."
