Chapter 1712: The Ceremony

Chen Yu waved his hand, and Shandao and Wang Dashan retreated, watching the changes from behind.

"Hehe, you seem a bit different from others," Liutian said, staring at Chen Yu.

"Why should I be the same as others?" Chen Yu retorted, "On what grounds should I be the same as others?"

"This place is the initiation ceremony of the Apocalypse Society. Since you have come here, you should be believers of the Apocalypse Society; otherwise, your behavior is disrespectful to God," Liutian said coldly.

"God? What God?" Chen Yu raised his head and said with a chuckle, "To me, there is no such thing as God. Even if there really were a God, they would have to kneel upon seeing me."

"Audacious." Liutian was furious, and he said coldly, "Do you know what your behavior constitutes?"

"Of course I know what my behavior constitutes, no need for you to deliberately remind me," Chen Yu sneered. "Just by showing off a little, you can lead these people around by the nose; in reality, your strength is quite mediocre, relying entirely on deception."

"Hehe, everyone's choice here is correct," Liutian sneered. "As for you, do you think you are different from others?"

"That's right, I am indeed different from others," Chen Yu raised his voice. "How about it? Do you want to test the differences between me and others?"

"Blasphemers will surely meet with retribution." Liutian's voice rose sharply, his voice penetrating the area like a great bell, causing the scene to fall silent instantly.

The gazes of these newly initiated believers turned here, and their eyes eventually landed on Chen Yu.

"These people are heretics."

"They should be burned."

"They blaspheme our God; burn them to death."

The crowd was agitated and about to surge toward them, but a Barrier blocked them outside. Everyone just clawed and gnashed their teeth on the outside, but they could not get in.

"Is this your God?" Chen Yu pointed at Liutian, grinned, and said, "There may be Gods in this world, but I guarantee it is absolutely not someone like him; even as a God Servant, he is not qualified."

"Nonsense, our God is unrivaled."

"Lord God Servant, I beg you, hurry up and finish this person off."

"That's right, he is a blasphemer, he must die."

Everyone was agitated, demanding that Liutian finish Chen Yu off.

"Since that is the case, then I shall act on behalf of the God to deliver divine punishment and finish him off completely." Liutian shouted loudly, massive Original Power appeared around his body, and his body slowly rose upward.

Then his gaze turned to Chen Yu, staring at him coldly with a condescending posture.

"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps I can consider sparing you." Liutian held his head high, staring coldly at Chen Yu.

"That won't happen," Chen Yu said leisurely, then he looked around, and finally, he fixed his gaze on Liutian's head: "Is there only you here? Where are the other Cardinals? Let them all come out."

"I alone am enough to behead you." Liutian slowly lifted his hands upward, and an invisible force rippled around him.

Those believers were instantly like they had been injected with adrenaline; they screamed crazily, as if their God Servant had already hacked the man before them into ten thousand pieces.

"You alone, I'm afraid that won't do." Chen Yu sneered, his right hand grabbed into the void, and Lichen already appeared in his hand. His figure instantly shot up, and he pointed Lichen forward.

At the same time, he shouted violently: "There are a few others, come out, all of you."

Following Chen Yu's roar, a massive force instantly locked down the scene.

Liutian's face turned deathly pale instantly. He could see that Chen Yu had not used his full strength, yet the air was now filled with the killing intent radiating from Chen Yu; if he were the slightest bit careless, he would be torn to shreds by this sliver of killing intent.

The opponent's strength had reached a terrifying level in this instant; he believed that if the opponent wished, he could take his life at any time.

His whole body was stiff, and he dared not move a muscle here, fearing that if he moved, Chen Yu would kill him on the spot.

Four red shadows flashed, and four more Archbishops appeared on the scene; these people were actually at the venue, just not showing themselves.

But the aura radiating from Chen Yu was extremely powerful, forcing them to reveal themselves.

"Heavens, five Cardinals appearing at the same time."

"Am I dreaming? These Archbishops each possess the power of God."

"This brat is dead; on what grounds does he think he can fight against a God?"

These believers were like they had been injected with adrenaline; they were incomparably excited, howling one after another, demanding that Chen Yu be taught a lesson.

"Who are you?" One of the Cardinals stared fixedly at Chen Yu and shouted: "Our Apocalypse Society is presided over by the Shuten True God behind the scenes; no matter who you are, retreat immediately."

"Good, it seems everyone has come out." Chen Yu glanced at the five Cardinals: "Shuten has instilled quite a bit of Divine Power into you; each of your strengths is already at the God-Connecting Realm, but it is a pity that he didn't tell you that out here, you have to pay back sooner or later."

"Shut up! Daring to be disrespectful to the great God Shuten, today we will destroy your divine consciousness and let you know what is formidable." A Cardinal shouted, his right hand swept, and a weapon was already in his hand.

And the remaining four reached out at the same time, drawing their weapons.

"Divine Artifacts, look, these are Divine Artifacts."

Countless believers roared with extreme excitement. In their eyes, the things in the hands of the God Servants were Divine Artifacts; some of them even took medicine because their heart rates were too high from being overly excited.

"Is this all the means you have?" Chen Yu turned his head, glanced at the crowd coldly, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc.

"Kill him." Liutian had recovered, and he raised the weapon in his hand and attacked Chen Yu.

The five Cardinals attacked at the same time, and the atmosphere reached its peak in this instant.

Chen Yu pointed Lichen forward into the void with his right hand, the sword in his hand turned in a perfect circle, and then with a clear whistle, Lichen radiated a dazzling brilliance, followed by a circle of light that rippled in all directions.

Accompanied by a scream, the five Cardinals tightened their hands, and then their web spaces between thumb and forefinger felt a sharp pain; the weapons in their hands were shattered in this instant.

Immediately after, five screams were heard, five rays of blood descended from the sky, and five heads flew off neatly.

Thump, thump... five muffled sounds were heard, and the five red-robed so-called God Servants fell down one after another.

Chen Yu landed slowly, and not a single drop of blood had stained the Lichen in his hand, but these five Cardinals, who were said to be servants of the True God, were now separated from their heads and died without a complete corpse.
