The howling sound of breaking wind came from behind Su Xiao, and his pupils contracted. His intuition told him that it was too late to turn around now.
A counterattack shield formed around Su Xiao, and as soon as it formed, the bone spear pierced into it.
Boom!
A loud noise spread, ringing in Su Xiao's ears. A shockwave emanated from behind him, accompanied by an irresistible force.
Su Xiao's body flew forward, his speed incredibly fast, as if he had been hit by a high-speed train on his back.
Bang.
Su Xiao crashed into a building in the main hall, but that wasn't the end. He immediately burst out from the other side of the building. Even so, his figure didn't stop and continued uncontrollably flying forward.
Bang, bang...
After crashing through three buildings, Su Xiao landed in a flowerbed. Soil and grass debris flew up several meters high, and his forward momentum finally stopped. The flowerbed was now silent.
At the entrance to the main hall leading to the central temple, the leader of the vengeful servants sat on the ground. His right half of the body had withered, but he still ordered the nearby ordinary vengeful servants to help him up and looked towards the flowerbed where Su Xiao was.
"Master, the intruder should be dead."
"I hope so."
The leader of the vengeful servants stared at the flowerbed, afraid that the enemy was still alive because he couldn't enter the central temple. It was his master's command.
"Ha!"
At the broken door, Flathead seemed to want to go in and chase Su Xiao. Just when all the vengeful servants were closely watching the flowerbed, a hand reached out from the flowerbed.
Although there was a counterattack shield for all-round protection, Su Xiao was still dizzy from the impact. If it weren't for the counterattack shield, he would not have been able to withstand that blow with just his flesh and blood. The bone spear just now even had the potential to kill a Heroic Spirit in seconds.
His back was burning with pain, and his entire skeleton felt like it was falling apart. Although his condition was not good, Su Xiao needed to shake off his pursuers quickly, or he would be doomed.
When Su Xiao stood up and prepared to penetrate the central temple area deeper, he found that the vengeful servants were only watching him from a distance and hadn't stepped into the main temple area.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao immediately guessed what was going on. It was either that there was something the vengeful servants feared in the central temple area, or it was the command of the vengeful servant leader.
Su Xiao leaned towards the latter because Flathead had already crossed that door and entered the central temple area.
"Liya, what are you doing? Do you want..."
"Ha!"
Flathead turned around and bared its teeth at the vengeful servant leader. At the same time, both of its front paws entered the central temple area.
"You..."
While the vengeful servant leader confronted Flathead, the ordinary vengeful servants were not idle. They used their exoskeletons to generate various throwing weapons and hurled them at Su Xiao.
The counterattack shield floating around Su Xiao rang out as it was struck by the vengeful servants' projectiles, demonstrating its strong defensive capabilities.
Ignoring the vengeful servants, Su Xiao quickly rushed towards the depths of the central temple area.
Seeing Su Xiao rapidly moving away, Flathead, lingering at the entrance, became angry. It didn't care about anything else and rushed into the central temple area to chase Su Xiao.
"Disobeying the master's command..."
The vengeful servant leader generated a bone spear in his left hand, and his muscles swelled nearly to the point of exhaustion.
Flathead, who was chasing Su Xiao, stopped and turned to look at the vengeful servant leader.
Swoosh!
A bone spear-carrying a terrifying howl flew towards Flathead.
Boom!
The stones splintered, and the bone spear pierced into the side of Flathead's body, creating a large crater on the ground. Stones flew past Flathead's fur.
The vengeful servant leader staggered a few steps and then fell to the ground with a thud. The master's will could not be violated, but he couldn't help it when the shot missed.
Flathead nodded at the vengeful servant leader, turned around, and charged towards the direction where Su Xiao had disappeared. Today, only one of them could survive, and God seemed to favour the intruder, according to Flathead.
In the central courtyard of the main temple area, he was not sure where to go after Su Xiao arrived. The mission information was too vague, and he needed to find the specific location of the Soul Lamp on his own.
The good news was that the central courtyard of the main temple area was quiet, with no trace of enemies.
At this moment, footsteps approached behind Su Xiao. He turned to look and saw that Flathead had caught up.
Flathead abruptly stopped a few meters away from Su Xiao, baring its sharp teeth.
Su Xiao and Flathead stared at each other for a few seconds, and both sides rushed towards each other.
According to Su Xiao's guess, Flathead should be at the same level as the vengeful servant leader. The vengeful servant leader was responsible for the Great King's Hall, while Flathead guarded the Law Hall.
A counterattack shield floated around Su Xiao as he and Flathead approached. Flathead, the size of a cheetah, had exoskeletons all over its body. Flathead's exoskeleton differed from ordinary vengeful creatures; it was black and covered its entire body, exposing only its eyes.
What was peculiar was that Flathead had one white exoskeleton on its head.
Su Xiao and Flathead closed in, and Su Xiao performed a slash, leaving a faint golden slash mark in the air. The slash was swift and aimed directly at Flathead's head.
Flathead was startled by the speed of the attack and quickly lowered its head.
Ding.
A piece of white exoskeleton was sliced off, the one on Flathead's head, and its white fur was also cut off, leaving it with a flat head.
Ordinary Flathead dared to fight against fierce animals like lions and hunting dogs with a medium-sized dog's body size. Moreover, this Flathead, which had become a vengeful creature, had a large size and strong attributes, at least not weaker than Su Xiao.
After the long sword passed by, although it almost severed Flathead's head, it didn't seem to bother Flathead. It bit down on the blade of the long sword, intending to snap it in half. Unfortunately, Su Xiao's +12 reinforced long sword was adamant. Realising this, Flathead curled its entire body into a ball, wrapping the long sword around it like a black ring.
Su Xiao was puzzled momentarily, wondering what kind of move this was.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao swung the sword towards the ground, trying to cut Flathead in half while it was still biting the long sword.
Boom!
The long sword smashed into the ground, creating a large crater. Flathead was still wrapped around the long sword when the dust cleared, like a black ring.
