Chapter 1132: Knowing the Reason
Chapter 1132: Knowing the Reason
In the Shinko Temple, also located on the top of the mountain, the caretaker Samarruga was enjoying the bath of light.
He looked to be in his thirties, a mixed race of Chirogado and Federation people, with long, thick, black curly hair, slightly large nostrils, a strong physique, bronze-colored skin, and eyes full of majesty and aggression.
He wore a tight-fitting white robe with a golden belt hanging down to both sides, and a ray of light pattern of the New Light Religion on his chest.
As a caretaker, he was entitled to enjoy the essence of light from the ring. He didn't care whether he could see the light of truth or not. He only knew that through this, he could stimulate the growth of his alienated tissue.
As for the teachings of the religion, such as truth and knowledge, as long as they continue to benefit him, he will continue to believe in them.
Except for the annual festival, in the monthly festival like this, most of the power in the light was absorbed by him, and only a small part belonged to the followers. This was also the reason why he was willing to leave the central city and stay here instead of going to the fusion land.
At this moment, he was absorbing it wholeheartedly, when suddenly he felt something mentally. He frowned because he felt a strong sense of threat coming, and even a dull tingling sensation arose in the center of his eyebrows.
"Are you coming?"
He looked down, he had received the news before that the fighter named Chen who needed attention from the Dashun delegation and the remaining members of the international investigation team had boarded the train to Sannoyzhou and applied for a pass to their place.
This was obviously aimed at them, and he knew it very well, because the troublesome guy from the international investigation team was now detained at his feet.
The New Light Church's top brass initially did not take Skarsson's investigation seriously, because the sect had extensive connections in both the military and political circles on the West Coast. Many local councillors were supported by them, and some military generals also served as security advisers to the New Light Church for a long time.
It is also true that they have always done things recklessly in the past.
Unexpectedly, Skarsson actually applied for international intervention. They knew very well that once the world had this excuse, they would make a big fuss about it and try to interfere in domestic affairs, and the East Coast Party would probably take the opportunity to do something.
Generally speaking, the international investigation team should be very sensible, but Scarsson is a unique person. He is a very upright and serious person, which forced them to get rid of him as soon as possible. Fortunately, Scarsson himself gave them a chance.
As for whether the investigation team will continue to follow up after this person is dealt with, the result will be the same anyway, so it is better to take action first. Even if it really comes to that, they will have time to prepare.
The reason why he was not killed directly was because for the New Light Sect, he was a top-notch sacrifice and could not be wasted.
At this time, several figures in a hurry came running over from outside. They were all servants of the New Light Sect. They knelt down in front of him, prostrated themselves there, and spoke a word in the Chirogata language, informing him that someone with bad intentions was coming up below.
Samarruga moved his shoulders and arms, and his muscles shook like waves. Then he walked barefoot over the patterned stone bricks, passed through the corridor, and came to the sacrifice site.
As soon as he walked out, all the New Light believers outside knelt down and praised him in unison.
In the eyes of these believers, a powerful fighter like Samarruga is no different from a god. He is the spokesperson of the fire of truth in the world.
Samarruga walked half a circle around the fire pit in front and came to the platform in front of the mountain path, looking at the group of people walking down below.
His eyes first fell on Chen Chuan, and he simply ignored the half-body Duroyezchi next to him.
He stared at the tall figure, and inevitably felt a strong sense of threat in his heart. He had heard of Chen Chuan's battle record before.
However, he was not afraid. Instead, a strong fighting spirit burned in his chest. The reason why he could protect the three major public sacrificial sites of the Xinguang Sect was not because of his strong missionary ability. There were many people in the sect who could do these things.
What really made him stand out here was his strong strength. He was able to calmly deal with challenges from other fighters, as well as provocations and conflicts from other sects.
More importantly, on Mount Kalupotu, he was able to rely on the blessings of the New Light Sect's secret rituals to greatly increase his own strength, which gave him full confidence in defeating the invading enemy.
He watched Chen Chuan walk up the stairs. He said in Dashun dialect with a heavy accent, "Are you Mr. Chen from Dashun?"
Chen Chuan hesitated for a moment, and barely understood what he said. He said, "It's me." Samarruga said seriously, "If you come to visit or join our New Light Sect, we welcome you very much. If not, please leave, because what you are standing on is the private territory granted to our sect by the government.
We don’t welcome outsiders here.”
Chen Chuan looked up at him and said, "You know what I am here for. Hand the person over. If you are unwilling, I will have to find him myself."
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Samarruga said.
Duroyez said at this time: "Mr. Chen, it was him. He and I arrested the man together. Even if it goes to the court of appeal, I am willing to testify!"
He knew very well that the moment he was brought here, he had already stood on the opposite side of the New Light Religion. The New Light Religion would never let him go, so it would be better for him to express his stance and maybe there would be a way out.
Chen Chuan glanced at him, then raised his head and said to Samarruga, who was almost a head taller than him, "Did you hear everything?"
Samarruga did not continue to argue. It was the maximum patience he had to say a few polite words. Now he just wanted to solve the problem with his fists.
He stared at Chen Chuanshuo and said, "I've heard of you. You once defeated three Secret Temple fighters by yourself. Perhaps this incident gave you confidence, but that was somewhere else. Here, under the light of truth, in front of me, you will never get what you want."
Chen Chuan was not interested in talking to him any more. Since the other party had expressed his willingness to resolve the issue by force, that was exactly what he wanted. He slowly raised the Xuejun Knife in his hand and pulled the scabbard open. The blade then revealed a bright cold light under the illumination of the light from the opposite side.
Samarruga narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand, and two short sticks placed on one side of the colonnade fell into his hands. Almost at the same time, an orange-red spiritual light emerged from his body. Then he lowered his center of gravity, placed the short sticks in both hands on both sides, leaned forward and stared at Chen Chuan.
The believers around were obviously not seeing such a scene for the first time. Under the arrangement of the chief priest, they retreated in an orderly manner, leaving a large open space for the two people.
Seeing that he was ready, Chen Chuan stopped being polite and immediately slashed forward with his knife.
Samarruga took the approach of the Different Phase, but because of his usual tactics, he liked to make changes during the battle, so when he saw Chen Chuan move, his body instantly expanded outwards. According to his calculations, he could complete the change halfway before the opponent arrived, and then take advantage of the situation to intercept the opponent.
But this time he greatly underestimated his opponent's speed. Before his body could swell up, he was hit in the face by a knife from the opposite side!
The blade was incredibly sharp, tearing apart the spiritual fire on his face and then cutting deeply into it, until it encountered the second layer of spiritual fire, where it was blocked. But even though his skull wasn't broken by the blow, he was still knocked backwards by the power contained in the blade.
Chen Chuan broke his balance with one blow. Without waiting for him to adjust his center of gravity, he used the force of the forward rush to get close to his body and reached out to push him!
It seemed like just a light push, but the spiritual light on the contact surface suddenly exploded, and Samarruga's huge body was knocked back!
Pushed by the vast sky-like force field outside his body, Chen Chuan quickly followed and raised the knife in his hand high again.
While in mid-air, Samarruga's body was constantly transforming. His muscles expanded and stretched rapidly, and he seemed to be rapidly turning into a gigantic three-eyed lion. His scarlet mane seemed to be burning with flames, and his body was wrapped in white cloud light.
This is the Takru lion that devoured the abandoned child of the god in the myth of Dhritarashtra!
This was the first time that Chen Chuan had seen an appearance that had completely abandoned the human form. However, the strange appearances were inherently strange and bizarre, and it all depended on the object of visualization. The most threatening of them was that the strange appearances might possess unique powers.
After reaching the appropriate distance, he swung the knife in his hand down again. However, this time, a strange force seemed to appear around his body. The blazing spiritual fire that was originally floating on the knife was rapidly decreasing, so that after it fell, it was blocked on the periphery by the opponent's spiritual fire.
His eyes flashed with a passive power? Can it dissolve the spiritual fire?
Samarruga chose Takoru Lion as the visualisation of the strange phase, which is the power of this external phase that can invalidate the spiritual fire of the enemy within a certain distance. If the power is strong enough, it can even resolve the spiritual impact.
This was one of the sources of his confidence, but he did not expect that the tactics and strategies he had originally prepared were completely useless. The enemy's strength was far beyond his estimation, and he was almost passive from the beginning. If it were not for the blessing from the ritual, he might have been chopped in the head just now.
Now, relying on the strange power, he got a buffer and was ready to counterattack after stabilizing his body. However, when he was about to move, he suddenly felt his body being affected by a force field and restrained in some way. In just this instant of influence, changes occurred in the field again.
This time Chen Chuan came to find someone, the faster the better, so he had no time to slowly spar with his opponent. At this moment, he backhanded a palm, and the highly condensed and massive spiritual fire pressed down on the opponent's body with a snap, against the dissolving force.
A blinding light emanated from the edge of the palm, and immediately afterwards, a violent spiritual shock erupted at such a close distance!
