Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang had his Spirit Eyes active all the time, so he noticed ten people dressed in white armor. They wore a white cape with a crescent moon symbol with a star next to it. He did not recognize the symbol.

"Ten knights and their symbol is the crescent moon and star. Do you know them?"

"They are from Harmony Temple. Maybe they come to investigate what happened to their army," Tisha was quick with her judgment, "Should we set up an ambush?"

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "It's too late. They are here already," The ten knights were not expecting to meet Tang Shaoyang's group. They stopped their march and stared at the group of five. While the ten knights did not recognize Tang Shaoyang, they recognized the other four beastmen.

Tisha, Kaltum, Maru, and Ron. The four had made a name for themselves during the battle against the eight Gods' followers. They were on the must-kill-in-sight list.

"One Demi-God Rank and nine Legend Rank," Tang Shaoyang was the quickest as his four guides were surprised as well as the knights.

No one used Detection but him at the moment of the meeting. Hearing the mutter, the ten knights retreated to the safer distance. Tang Shaoyang gave them no chance to retreat as he used [Blink] right to the front of the Demi-God Rank.

He caught The Demi-God Rank's neck and slammed the knight down. No one could react to how fast Tang Shaoyang took action. He followed with Heavenly Shattering Palm right to the knight's chest.

Boom!

The Demi-God Rank's plate armor caved in as an imprint of palm formed. The Demi-God Rank was not dead yet because he did not hear any notification, "Quite tough, heh." He formed Slayer Blades above and the two blades went strike to the man's head and chest where his heart was.

[You have killed a Demi-God Rank!]

Everything happened within a five-second window, not even the four beastmen could react to Tang Shaoyang's movement. The remaining nine knights snapped only when they realized their leader was dead. They surrounded Tang Shaoyang and swung their swords toward him. None of them were thinking of running away after witnessing how their leader was helplessly killed.

Before the sword could reach Tang Shaoyang, a dark flame burst out, blowing out the nine knights. While the nine knights were in mid-air, a hundred Slayer Blades formed above them.

Swoosh!

Each knight got at least ten blades pierced their bodies, pinning them down to the ground. Just like that, ten Templar Knights were killed in less than twenty seconds. The top elite from The Harmony Temple was killed in a flash.

The four beastmen stared at the scene with their eyes wide open. From start to finish, they did not blink their eyes for a second.

The first one to snap out of their daze was Kaltum. The Red Monkey rushed over as Tang Shaoyang collected the bodies, "Can I have one set of their armor, Sir?"

"You can take one set, but just the armor. I will get the body."

Kaltum wanted to ask why Tang Shaoyang collected the body, but then he remembered what the guard told him and also saw the army of skeletons outside the city. The body was used to make more skeletons. He stripped the armor, taking the shield and the sword as well. Then he handed the body to Tang Shaoyang.

"Is he a God Rank? Is he on the same level with those Gods?" Ron muttered while recalling the scene he just witnessed. That was amazing even for a surprise attack. Maru was a Demi-God Rank, but he believed Maru could achieve the same feat even if the young lion was given the same chance.

"It's fortunate that he refused your challenger, or else you will be lying down at your home with your bone crushed," Ron gulped down as he replayed the scene where Tang Shaoyang killed the Demi-God Rank. His body shuddered, and the thought of fighting Tang Shaoyang terrified him.

"I told you not to annoy Sir Tang," Tisha, who had first-hand experience muttered. She told her friends not to annoy or even try to challenge Tang Shaoyang. But the stubborn Maru went on with it, and she did not have the courage to meddle earlier.

"We are done here, so which one is the closest? We need to wipe out the force in the temple so they will not come here again. I don't want to go back and forth just to fight their army," Tang Shaoyang walked back to the group.

"The closest city is Turan City. That was one of The Orin Kingdom's cities before The Harmony Temple took the city over. I think they set up their military post in that city," Tisha pointed in the direction where the ten knights came from.

"I have questions for you guys, so let's take a walk for now," Tisha and Kaltum were relieved that they did not have to fly again. It was faster for sure, but being carried was also uncomfortable for them. For those who spent their life on the ground, flying was scarier than they thought.

"My last visit to this world was before the Game, and at that time, there was an Adventurer Guild. Does the Adventurer Guild still exist?" He was curious how the Adventurer Guild was doing right now. Of course, they ended their relationship in a bad way the last time. The adventurers tried to get his head because of the temple. He wondered if the Adventurer Guild was on the Eight Gods' side right now or if they were an independent group.

"The Adventurer Guild still exists, and they are thriving even more after the game. People who want to avoid the temple, they will become adventurers. The neutral kingdom also hired them to help them to clear the dungeons and so on."

It was surprising that the eight Gods did not try to absorb the Adventurer Guild, "They are not part of those Gods?"

Tisha shook her head, "They are an independent group. The Temple once tried to destroy Adventurer Guild, but they ended up losing the fight because all the adventurers all over the world banded together and destroyed dozens of Temple."

Tang Shaoyang found it weird that The Adventurer Guild won the fight, "It should be easy for the Eight Gods to destroy them, no? How could they lose?" That was the puzzling thing from the story.

"Because The Adventurer Guild also has a God Rank. They have two God Ranks as their patron. The Demon God and the Beast God also worked together with the two patron Gods. That was why The Temple could not do anything to The Adventurer Guild."
