I'm not just human!

Fortunately, the burning sensation in his cells remained, which did not affect his normal combat effectiveness.

Suddenly, the thunderclouds beneath him flew towards the direction of the Michi City Square. Xia Fa knew that the Guardian Lord wanted to take him there to heal his injuries.

But just then—

boom!!!

Suddenly, a bronze-colored beam of light shot into the sky from the spot where the bronze-armored cavalrymen, who had been almost completely annihilated in the explosion, were found.

That beam of light seemed to contain no destructive power, yet it was filled with all sorts of information.

"not good……!"

Xia Fa instinctively felt a pang of fear. Without even thinking, he guessed that this was... the way the bronze armored cavalry used to transmit information to the other cleaners before they died!

Once this information is passed out, not only will everyone in this place where time has stopped be completely destroyed once again, but I'm afraid I will also be endlessly hunted down by other cleaners!

Because it was obvious that his strike, delivered with a completely explosive "burning feeling," had alerted the Bronze Cleanser to something.

That's why it's willing to risk everything to pass on this intelligence.

Of course, it's also possible that the cleaners would transmit information in this way once they died.

As the bronze pillar of light was about to truly pierce the sky and reach the place where time stood still, Xia Fa's heart sank.

Now, he was completely exhausted and powerless to stop it, and Tefaro was even less likely to stop it.

As for the Guardian Lord, he was actually at his last gasp.

Moreover, the bronze pillar of light appeared so quickly that no one had time to react!

At the critical moment, the Guardian Lord tremblingly raised his hand and squeezed the bronze pillar of light with barely any force.

The guardian castle immediately formed above the bronze pillar of light, attempting to block it.

But it was no use. The bronze pillar of light completely ignored the guardian castle, passing right through it and still flying towards the sky.

"Oops……"

The Guardian Lord also realized something was wrong, and a deep sense of guilt immediately appeared on his face.

He certainly saw Xia Fa's special nature, and thus realized that once Xia Fa's special nature was conveyed by the bronze-armored cavalry in this way, then... for Xia Fa, it would be an endless pursuit!

Xia Fa himself understood that what might come then would not only be Bronze Cleaners, but also Silver Cleaners and even Gold Cleaners!

The Bronze Cleansers... can't even handle themselves, let alone the Silver Cleansers who are Outer Gods, and the Gold Cleansers who are comparable to the Nine Great Gods.

Just as everyone was in despair, suddenly, somewhere in the sky, directly above the bronze pillar of light, a crescent moon appeared.

The crescent moon appeared sacred and sublime, and in the instant it appeared, it rotated a full circle from left to right.

With a single turn, a spherical area was created, the space inside rapidly shattered, and then even the void itself was annihilated, transforming into a completely empty and void black sphere.

Caught off guard, the bronze pillar of light crashed into the black sphere, which immediately explored inwards, taking the bronze pillar of light with it and disappearing completely from the world.

"No!!!!!"

A hoarse, cacophony, unpleasant roar, like the scraping of metal, echoed from the spot where the bronze-armored cavalryman had fallen.

That seemed to be its last will, filled with the extreme anger of a failed scheme, and it vanished into the world.

At that moment, Xia Fa and the others were stunned.

What was that suddenly appearing crescent moon?

It actually absorbed the bronze pillar of light, and even collapsed and annihilated along with it!

Suddenly, a sliver of moonlight shone from where the black sphere had collapsed, like a shooting star, and flew towards the distant Arcane City.

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened instantly, realizing something.

The Guardian Lord, however, said incredulously:

"This was... the work of someone from Arcane City? But that's impossible..."

Having fought with Archmage Wizreil for over two thousand years, He knew very well that there could not be such a being in Arcane City, capable of so easily absorbing and annihilating information that a god was desperately trying to transmit.

"It's alright, we'll rest for a bit and then go take a look."

Xia Fa forced himself to speak, and after a short while, he had recovered some of his extraordinary power, and continued:

“I have a feeling that it’s not in Arcane City, but... in that underground cave of the ancient pillars of the gods that we destroyed.”

The Lord of Guardians nodded:

"Okay, I'll go with you in a bit. Oh, and Tefaro!"

Suddenly, He thought of something, turned around and saw that the residents of Michi City had already joined forces to lift Tefaro and bring him over.

Tefaro, however, had already fainted. It was unclear whether he had fainted because he was relieved after seeing the bronze armored cavalryman killed by Xiafa with a single blow, or because he had fainted after seeing the bronze pillar of light being absorbed and annihilated.

As the residents placed Thepharo on the ground, the Guardian immediately placed one hand on His heart.

Almost instantly, He breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's nothing serious. Although he suffered extremely serious injuries, with His extraordinary monarch-level recovery ability, he will recover in half a day."

Xia Fa was immediately relieved, and then looked at the Guardian Lord:

"Senior, are you alright?"

The Guardian Lord gave him a reassuring smile:

“I’m almost recovered. Just now… when that bronze-armored cavalry broke through the ritual defense array, it seemed to deliberately concentrate all its attacks on you. Ha, it was quite alert.”

The Guardian Lord didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: the bronze-armored cavalryman must have noticed Xia Fa's special abilities, which was why he acted this way.

Fortunately, Xia Fa was still more skilled and managed to kill it.

Next, Xia Fa took out the dried meat made from the Sovereign-level supernatural creature in the Black Crow Bag. After having a big meal with the Guardian Lord and some extraordinary wine, he finally recovered a lot of energy.

Tefaro remained unconscious and was taken to the residence of the Guardian Lord, where he was cared for by His trusted confidants.

As for Xia Fa and the Guardian Lord, they went to Arcane City with deep doubts.

Both of them chose to conceal themselves and went directly to the underground cave beneath Arcane City.

"This is it."

As soon as they entered the underground cave, Xia Fa pointed to the place where the ancient pillars of the gods had been destroyed.

All that could be seen was a hole in the ground.

But from inside the cave, a soft, hazy white light emerged, like the moonlight of autumn, gentle and serene, shrouded in a sacred mist.

Xia Fa and the Guardian exchanged a glance, both feeling extremely strange.

Ultimately, the two decided to go and take a look together.

despair!despair!despair!

Cautious footsteps echoed in the empty underground cave.

For some reason, both of them felt a little nervous.

After all, the being who just absorbed the bronze pillar of light must be at least of the rank of a god, or even higher.

But now, it seems to be sleeping beneath these ancient pillars of gods.

Finally, the two of them reached the cave entrance.

Xia Fa looked down inside with trepidation.

But immediately, his body trembled, and an expression of extreme disbelief appeared on his face.

The reason was that the being sleeping in that cave... was someone he knew!

Chapter 288 The Mysterious Person Was Actually Chestnut?

In the deep and spacious underground cave, the figures of Xiafa and the Guardian Lord stood beside the cave left after the destruction of the ancient pillars of the gods.

The expressions on their faces were completely different.

The Guardian seemed somewhat stunned, never expecting that the one who could so easily absorb and annihilate the bronze pillar of light emitted by the bronze armored cavalry would be... such a young girl.

Inside the cave, the tranquil moonlight transformed into countless specks of light, spreading outwards.

Within the points of light was a moon-shaped sphere, and the girl hugged her knees, as if she were asleep within the sphere.

She had a pair of fluffy, round ears, black on the outside and white on the inside, and wore a pure white robe. Her delicate and slender body was wrapped up in a ball, making her appear so petite.

Her expression was incredibly serene, like that of a sleeping baby, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as if she were dreaming.

This is clearly... a rat girl; the Guardian Lord can recognize that.

However, what puzzled Him was that, despite His extraordinary power as a great lord, He could not discern the true rank of this rat girl.

He was not a god, nor an external god, and he didn't even have the aura of a god on him.

But right beside her, within a tiny, moon-like particle, was a bronze pillar of light, compressed and imprisoned to the extreme, being gradually eroded by the moonlight emanating from her.

Clearly, even for this mysterious girl, this bronze pillar of light was an extremely troublesome problem. She hadn't even been able to annihilate it just now, and could only slowly wear it down.

This kind of method is already at the level of a god... which is obviously not something that I, as a transcendent lord, can do alone.

Thinking this, the Guardian Lord couldn't help but take two steps back, his face filled with utter awe as he faced the peacefully sleeping rat girl.

He had once followed Lord Kongsu, and therefore understood more clearly than others just how incredible and supreme power the gods... even just gods, possessed.

But at that moment, to the Guardian Lord's surprise, Xia Fa, standing beside him, took a few steps forward with obvious astonishment.

He even squatted down beside the burrow, his eyes, as black as charcoal, observing the rat girl sleeping in the moon.

At this moment, Xia Fa was utterly astonished, as if a huge, turbulent wave had surged within him, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Because, inside this cave, within this moon-like sphere of light, the sleeping rat girl... was none other than Chestnut!

She was even wearing that pristine white archbishop's robe!

After confirming up close that it was indeed a chestnut and that he hadn't made a mistake, Xia Fa felt his mind was completely blank.

The power just now... that power that could absorb and annihilate the bronze pillar of light, and is still eroding it now, must be far beyond that of a god, and even close to that of an outer god.

But why does the chestnut possess such power?

If it were someone I didn't know in this cave, then it wouldn't matter.
