The two elders were plunged into a desperate shock, watching that demon. Clearly, it had no life in its body, and various places were stitched in its form; it was definitely a puppet.
But... how could there be such a powerful puppet to cause this impact? The two thought at the same time. In the next second, the dark elf felt his world spin while beside him, the other patriarch experienced infernal pain.
SLAP! CRACK!
Two distinct sounds echoed simultaneously. Within the city, onlookers rubbed their eyes. They clearly saw, in slow motion, two incredible movements and couldn’t comprehend the even more unbelievable outcome yet.
In the air, a black elf spun uncontrollably, its limbs twirling like a leaf in the wind; then, it crashed into the ground, raising dust. On the other side, a three-meter figure, once imposing, knelt in agony, its hands tightly holding something between its legs.
The whale turned to the side and saw Ruri facing the poor patriarch, grinning from ear to ear. Her eyes conveyed an unusual pity. ’This girl is too cruel.’
The presence of the demon mentally shocked the two patriarchs and, at the same time, froze the QI in their meridians. Soon, the Non-Lethal Strike Technique, Beyond Divine Level, showcased its glory to the world again. This time, Ruri, who learned from Alm, revealed this secret card. While Alm and Bruno delivered a humiliating slap to the dark elf, Ruri hit the most painful and unprotected place of a man.
’This technique was supposed to cause no pain nor damage, only psychological. But she... you taught her something she shouldn’t have.’ Bruno commented to Alm, who was clearly proud.
The technique was non-lethal, indeed, but that place was the most vulnerable for any male cultivator. There, QI or anything couldn’t circulate directly because, in mortal realms, it would render the man infertile. Ruri, by hitting directly, wouldn’t cause severe damage even in that vulnerable area, but the pain still existed, partly due to the humiliation.
"Hehehehe." Ruri laughed animatedly with amusement. Alm and Bruno sighed and stepped back, and she jumped back onto their shoulders.
It all lasted for five seconds, and then the two patriarchs rose with eyes filled with blood and infinite hatred. Immediately, they drew their weapons: a short sword on one side and the splendid and powerful bone club on the other.
"Two competent clowns in entertaining. Now, put on a bloody and fun show." The whale said slowly, with a sinister tone.
"You...!" The elf spat but was cut off as QI and laws were distorted before an oppressive power.

WHOOOSH!
The demon moved, and its wings flapped, causing a sinister distortion. This made the two patriarchs step back, frightened. Its speed was terrifying, and its black claw descended as if a black thunderbolt fell upon the earth. Immediately, the patriarchs activated their cultivations to the limit in a desperate quest for survival.
BOOM!
They were thrown backward, spitting blood, and passed through the gates. At that moment, the whale made a move, and the entire city seemed to vibrate, with its epicenter being the distant castle. Multicolored runes instantly emerged from the ground and covered all the city residents like a barrier. Then, the powerful shockwave from that encounter crashed, and it was completely absorbed.
In the next second, the puppet demon fiercely advanced. More than half of that army consisted of common elders with some influence from the three sects, but all of them were killed just by the pressure of the cultivation of that being earlier. Now, it ignored the patriarchs and attacked the high elders without any expression, and the real bloody spectacle began.
Initially, everyone in the city was watching with serious expressions. But quickly, they saw the round figure standing with an animated expression and a young girl on its shoulder observing the fun. Then, they quickly felt a sense of security they had never experienced before in their lives. After the first laughter, it contagious everyone who watched.
The bloody confusion unfolded among the evil cultivators. With each strike of the demon, several fell to the ground forever. The two patriarchs stood up in shock and advanced with all the power they had; however, the lifeless demon destroyed the short sword of the black elf with a single blow, sending him flying back to the desert with the sound of all his bones breaking echoing.
Then, the bone club fell in his direction. The demon, even lifeless, seemed to sense danger coming from it and did not dare to face it head-on. With a flap of its wings, the strike missed completely, resulting in an explosion of earth and blood. The patriarch attacked desperately, killing dozens of his own allies in a ridiculous manner, contributing to the spectacle.
The colossal bone club penetrated the sinking earth, and due to its weight, the patriarch couldn’t lift it immediately. Then, a mortal danger was felt by him, and in desperation, he turned and put the bone club into the inventory. He thought fast, as losing that weapon would mean his total condemnation.
CRACK!
The demon’s claw fell directly on him, opening five gigantic and bloody wounds on his chest. He flew away, thrown back into the desert with severe injuries.
’Damn, the demon’s power is invincible against them. But still, it’s not enough to kill them quickly, and the puppet can’t pursue them. They’re not idiots to come back.’ Alm commented irritably.
The demon then turned to the poor survivors. It didn’t take more than a few movements for it to end them all, but at the last moment, when it was about to kill one figure, it retracted its claw and simply gave a dry kick, sending him flying back into the desert. Obviously, it was the whale that prevented the demon from killing him.
’If this new patriarch dies, the entire sect is likely to be plundered and divided between the other two. I need to take a look at the technique that uses the power accumulated through the Worship and Prayer of its subjects. I have just started using it, so I need to take a look since we have nothing regarding it. The sect remaining extremely weak makes things easier in the future.’ Bruno spoke mentally to Alm.
Soon, the show ended, and those three survivors clearly wouldn’t come back. "Now that was indeed a fun anniversary. Let’s go," the whale said, turning around.
As they turned, Alm and Bruno noticed everyone’s eyes fixed on them and sighed for a moment but soon accepted it. They even deliberately asked Pooh to let those cultivators enter the correct team. It was a deliberate plan by Bruno to create exactly those looks from everyone.
’I can already feel these strange laws from worship and prayers becoming more intense. It was a success.’ Bruno commented, a bit excited, and Alm scoffed.
’Oh, right!’ Bruno then thought about something. ’I don’t want to keep calling it Celestial Laws, Worship, Prayers, etc... too confusing. From now on, I will simply call it Faith Power. Is that okay?’
Alm couldn’t care less. ’Whatever.’
