Chapter 781: Finally you are willing to tell the truth, Wendy!
While Barbara was staring at the bloody hole on Albert's head, Shao Yun tied explosives to the two legs of the statue of the God of Wind.
After finishing everything, Shao Yun struck a match, and the faint flame looked particularly dazzling in his hand.
Before lighting the explosives, he shouted into the empty air: "Barbatos! This is your last chance!"
However, this guy Barbatos still did not show up, as if he had completely ignored Shao Yun's warning.
Seeing this, Shao Yun thought that since the other party was so tactless, there was no need for him to be polite anymore.
Shao Yun put the match close to the fuse of the explosives, and with a "hiss", the fuse was instantly ignited, emitting a pungent green smoke. Shao Yun quickly turned around and kept a safe distance from the explosion site.
With a deafening bang, the explosives exploded.
Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the legs of the statue in the square were blown to pieces in an instant.
The huge impact force caused the statue to lose its support, and under the action of gravity, it slammed backwards onto the hard ground.
The nuns and monks screamed and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be hit by the statue.
Sadly, no one was killed in the chaos.
The moment the statue touched the ground, stones flew everywhere, and the fragments drew sharp arcs in the air, and finally fell all over the ground, breaking into pieces.
The once sacred and solemn statue of the God of Wind has now become unrecognizable, leaving only a mess and astonishing ruins.
Barbara was originally immersed in the shock of Albert's death, and turned around to watch Shao Yun blow up the statue of the God of Wind.
Seeing everything she believed in being trampled on the ground by Shao Yun, Barbara's eyes fell on the wooden stick beside her.
As a believer, she needs to defend her faith!
Then, Barbara looked at Shao Yun, the blasphemous "devil". She made up her mind, picked up the stick, and rushed towards Shao Yun.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
Shao Yun looked at Barbara who was rushing towards him and raised his gun, ready to help this martyr.
At this moment, Rosalia, who had rushed back from the tavern, rushed up and knocked Barbara down, thus preventing her from dying in vain.
Rosalia was drinking peacefully in the tavern, but then she heard someone say that Shao Yun had gone crazy, that the God of Wind had kidnapped his wife and children, summoned monsters from the abyss, and burned down the church?
She didn't believe it at first, but when she saw the thick smoke coming out of the church, she understood that it was true!
Looking at Shao Yun with the gun pointed at him, Rosalia quickly advised: "Shao Yun! I don't know what Barbatos did to you, but please calm down! Killing people indiscriminately won't solve any problems!"
Barbara was pinned to the ground by Rosalia. Looking at Shao Yun, whom she could not defeat, she prayed to the sky: "Lord Barbatos, where are you? We need your help!"
Shao Yun looked at Barbara who was praying to Barbatos, and shouted madly to the sky: "Barbatos, your most loyal believer! I am praying to you! Where are you!"
Now, Shao Yun burned down the church, smashed the statues, and brought an unprecedented mental attack to the people of Mond.
Blasphemy, to some extent, is much more severe than murder and arson.
In cases of murder and arson, the victims can still get psychological comfort before they die; but when their faith is trampled upon, it is much more painful than having their tendons pulled out and their skin peeled off!
Shao Yun saw that Wendy still hadn't shown up even at this point, and his patience was about to be worn out...
"Okay, you're still playing dead, right? My patience has its limits!"
"Next stop, the big tree in the wind! If you don't show up, in one more step, I will call on the Abyss Army outside to raze Mondstadt to the ground!"
……
The wind blew, and under Vanessa's big tree, the setting sun was as red as blood, and the afterglow sprinkled on the big tree, foreshadowing the coming of a disaster.
Shao Yun rode Boadicea at full speed, his heart filled with anger and despair.
Burning the West Wind Cathedral and blowing up the statues, this Barbatos is really patient!
I'm going to destroy your most precious thing, can you still remain calm?
Just before and after he arrived at his destination, Captain Qin and Noel also hurried over. Obviously, their purpose was to stop Shao Yun and protect Vanessa's tree.
Even if the church and the statues are gone, they can be rebuilt; but if Vanessa’s big tree is gone, it’s really gone!
Originally, Qin was planning to stop Shao Yun by herself, but Noelle followed her.
Captain Qin stood in front of Shao Yun with a serious expression, opened his arms and blocked his way.
She stared at Shao Yun and said earnestly: "Mr. Shao Yun, please calm down. Vanessa's tree is of great significance to Mond, you can't destroy it!"
Noelle on the side also quickly echoed: "Yes, Mr. Shao Yun, please, don't be impulsive!"
Shao Yun looked at the two people in front of him, turned over and dismounted. His face was extremely gloomy, and he said expressionlessly: "Ask Barbatos to return my wife and children to me, and I will stop immediately! Otherwise, you two better get out of my way!"
Qin was anxious seeing that she couldn't persuade Shao Yun at all, but she knew that now was not the time to give up.
So she took a deep breath, held Noelle tightly behind her, blocked Shao Yun's way with her body, and shouted with all her strength:
"Mr. Shao Yun, if you really want to destroy Vanessa's tree, please step over my body first!"
Noelle also anxiously advised: "Mr. Shao Yun, you can't make the same mistake over and over again! Not only will this not solve any problems, it will only put you in an irretrievable situation!"
However, Shao Yun remained indifferent to their persuasion.
He just looked coldly at the two women in front of him who insisted on stopping him, and slowly raised the gun in his hand.
Then, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Qin's brow, and then he said in a low and cold voice: "Don't give up your precious life easily for the so-called face."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to implicate you."
After saying that, Shao Yun started the countdown.
"Three! Two! One!"
Qin listened to Shao Yun's countdown. Although she felt a little scared, she did not back down.
She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her teeth, and prepared to face the possible death.
Just as Shao Yun saw Qin was so stubborn and pulled the hammer of the Cowboy Revolver (Goat's Blessing), suddenly, Wendy's voice came from the sky.
"Shao Yun..."
When Shao Yun heard this voice, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
He suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun and fired several shots in the direction where the sound came from in the air, and the bullets whizzed into the sky.
Shao Yun originally thought that Wendy was in the sky, but unexpectedly, there was nothing in the sky, only Wendy's voice was heard.
After all, Wendy is not stupid. If he dares to appear in front of Shao Yun now, he will definitely die!
"I am just using the power of the wind to convey my words, but I am not stupid enough to show up in front of you in person..."
Shao Yun's anger was instantly ignited, and he cursed at the empty sky.
"Fuck you, Barbatos! Give me back my wife and kids!"
Wendy's emotionless voice came again, responding coldly: "Your wife and children are safe and sound. Let's talk."
When Shao Yun heard that Wendy wanted to negotiate with him, he shouted angrily: "Negotiation? Do you really think I don't dare to kill people? Return my wife and children first, otherwise there is no room for negotiation!"
Wendy's voice was still cold and ruthless. He answered slowly: "I know you have the courage to kill people. So now, do it and destroy Mond."
"However, if you do this, you will only end up with three heads."
When Shao Yun heard that Wendy actually threatened the lives of Ying, Paimeng and his daughter "Xi", his heart was broken and he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"You bastard! If you have anything to say, come to me! Ying, Paimon and my daughter are all innocent! Why are you doing this!"
Wendy turned the tables and cursed, "Why? Because you're a beast, you don't understand human language! So I can only use beastly methods to deal with you!"
When Shao Yun heard Wendy calling him a beast, he was so angry that he laughed. Now it was still unclear who was the beast and who was the human!
"You're more of a beast than me for kidnapping someone else's wife and children! No matter how much of a beast I am, I never used Klee to threaten Alice and asked her to save Ying, Paimon and my child!"
Wendy explained why she thought Shao Yun was a beast.
"You're a beast! What you've done will destroy Teyvat!"
Shao Yun retorted, "I destroyed Teyvat? Open your eyes and see, this is all because you crossed the line!"
Wendy didn't know whether it was out of anger or intentional that she revealed his true purpose.
"You fell in love with a girl you shouldn't love! It's all your fault! Now in order to save Nata and Teyvat, I can do anything, including kidnapping your wife and children and threatening you!"
When Shao Yun heard Wendy admit that he used Ying as a gas filter canister, he shouted frantically: "You finally told the truth, Wendy! You, a hypocritical guy, finally admitted that you really used Ying as a gas filter canister!"
"I said why didn't you tell us about Kanreya, let us find the next country, let us continue to walk aimlessly, and stop us when I found my brother-in-law. It's all a fucking calculation! What the hell is sending a letter! It's all bullshit!"
"I think the only thing that was not in your plan was my courage! You didn't expect that I would dare to kidnap my brother-in-law despite being hunted by the Abyss Cult!"
Wendy didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer. Things had come to this point, he could only threaten Shao Yun, and go down this path to the end!
"I don't want to make any explanations. Now, it's time to test your love for Ying, Paimon, and your daughter. Since you want Ying to escape, you have to find a way to save Nata!"
Shao Yun had understood everything, and asked pointedly, "What if I don't go?"
When Wendy heard this, she immediately said threateningly, "Of course you can choose not to go, but your wife and children are in my hands! Do you know how long a person can survive without water or food?"
Shao Yun was gritting his teeth at this moment, thinking about the night he met the "flattering man" and his confrontation with Wendy. Why did he act so soft-hearted at that time?
"Barbatos, why didn't I kill you that night in the Whispering Forest?"
When Wendy saw that Shao Yun regretted not killing him, he also regretted very much why he didn't kill Shao Yun when he first saw him!
"I'll say the same thing to you. If I had killed you the first time I saw you, perhaps all these troubles wouldn't have happened!"
Shao Yun watched Wendy compete with him in craziness. He criticized her from a moral perspective, "Is this what they call God's love for the world? Kidnapping a man's wife and daughter and threatening a father?"
When Wendy heard Shao Yun say the four words "God loves the world", she immediately settled all the new and old grudges!
"Because you are not human! You killed Rosaline! I owe her, the people of Mondstadt are my children, but you killed her like this! You killed my child!"
"And the Lawrence family, you destroyed everything, and you forced Eula to leave her homeland! I will never forget the sight of Eula leaving Mondstadt in tears!"
"You are not a human! Why should I love you!"
