Chapter 1042

The Primordial Rank knight activated his movement skill and moved to the right. However, his late reaction cost him half of his shoulder. He lost his left hand and also his shoulder because the sword hit him first. The throbbing pain assaulted him, but he held back. The pain was nothing compared to the pain he experienced when he was training to be the Executioner Knight. However, the pain was enough indication that his life was in danger.         

    

The Primordial Rank Executioner Knight tried to make his run into the city. He turned around and rushed toward the Holy Knight's group. "Block him for me! I need to report everything to the Saintess!" Realizing he could not win against Tang Shaoyang, the Executioner Knight took the last measure, escaping. Of course, he knew that he would be dead once he returned, but he could at least report Tang Shaoyang's weird power to the Saintess.     

While the Executioner Knight tried to make his run, he saw the crack bee-lining toward the Holy Knight, blocking his path. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stop, then he saw the crack swallow the Holy Knights. Most of the Holy Knights died by losing their upper half, and some of them lost their belly. The Holy Knights plopped down either in two parts or one part, and blood flooded the brown ground.     

The Executioner tried to make his second run, but then Tang Shaoyang had already caught up. The man stood between him and the entrance to the city, floating in the air with the eight pairs of wings, looking down at him from the air.     

"Why are you running? You can't kill me or capture me if you run away." Tang Shaoyang mocked the Executioner Knight. "However, I will give you a chance. If you answer my one question truthfully, then I will spare your life. I will let you get into the city." He pointed at the entrance with his thumb.     

Tang Shaoyang was curious why the Divine Church wanted to kill him so badly. He felt like he had not done anything wrong to the Divine Church, especially with their two times interactions. He wanted to know why the Divine Church wanted his head.     

The Executioner looked toward the entrance, then looked at Tang Shaoyang, back and forth. He calculated if he could make it if he used his movement skill, but then he realized that he had no way to pass the crack. His opponent could just make a crack in front of him, then he would either die or halt his run. He could not envision his escape under Tang Shaoyang's chase.     

"It's God's Decree! The Gods send their divination to the Saintess to kill you! I am just their tool to execute their order!" The Executioner Knight replied. He answered truthfully; he did not lie. That was what happened: God's divination told the Saintess to kill Tang Shaoyang. The picture, along with the full name, was provided by the Gods, so there was no way they hunted the wrong target. It was just that they were wrong about how strong their target was.     

"That's it? Your God wants me to die? But why?" Tang Shaoyang was flabbergasted by the whole situation. He knew that God was just a being that had reached God Rank, so it confused why the people who had reached God Rank wanted him to die. It just did not make sense to him.     

"I don't know! We don't question our Gods!" The Primordial Rank Executioner Knight replied firmly. His belief in God was absolute, so no one questioned the decree. Just like who they were named, they were trained and made to execute God's decree, Executioner Knight.     

Tang Shaoyang dove at the knight, and he slashed the sword toward the knight. The Titan Blade split the knight into two, and once the sword reached the ground, the crack spread out. As the crack opened, a big chunk of the ground disappeared along with the crack, creating a giant pit.     

"You did not keep your promise!" The Holy Knights accused Tang Shaoyang loudly. Everyone who witnessed the battle heard the conversation, including the people inside the city.     

"What if I don't fulfill my promise?" Tang Shaoyang turned around and faced the Holy Knight. He was in a pissy mood, especially after hearing what the knight told him. "He also did not fulfill his promise. He did not give the answer that I wanted. I wanted to know why the Divine Church tried to kill me! God's decree!? Don't be ridiculous!"     

Tang Shaoyang raised his sword; he was about to slaughter the remaining Holy Knights. However, his hand stopped in the air as he noticed the sky suddenly turn dark. He looked up and saw a crack, an enormous crack appeared in the sky.     

"Huh? I did not do it." The crack was similar to what he used against the Primordial Rank knight, but this one was much bigger in scale. His crack was nothing compared to the one in the sky right now. The crack kept spreading to the end of the sky, and no one could see the end of the crack in the sky.     

"What are you doing?" Not long after the crack appeared, Tang Shaoyang heard Avyn's voice from behind. The Dragon Tribe girl dragged the motionless knight with her, throwing the unmoving body in front of him.     

"I don't do anything." Tang Shaoyang shrugged. "Do you know something about that? Have you seen something similar?" He felt something ominous from the crack.     

"Yes, I have seen it in my head multiple times. It's the same crack when those shameless Gods attacked my world. The crack will open, and Gods and their army will come out from there. However, they should not be able to come here. Why are they trying to enter the Dimensional Power? It takes a lot of resources and mana to open a crack to another world." Avyn was perplexed.     

"It seems those Gods are coming for me." Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle. "Those knights said they wanted to kill me because of God's Decree. So if Gods will come from that crack, they are coming for me."
