I'm not just human!

But now, He is dead.

His kneeling posture resembled that of a prisoner about to be punished, and at his neck was a smooth, mirror-like cut, without a head.

The sheer awe of this scene is indescribable: endless black mountains, with an ancient and imposing mithril gate at one end, and a towering, thousand-meter-tall alien god chained to the tightly closed gate…

The Outer God, kneeling on the ground, had been beheaded, his image frozen in time as if in a sacrificial ceremony.

No blood flowed from His severed wound, but suddenly black rain began to fall from the heavens and earth.

The black rain, carrying a slightly fishy sweetness, enveloped the entire city shortly after His figure was revealed, with countless thin black lines falling between heaven and earth.

Xia Fa dared not be negligent. He pressed one hand on his head, and a wall extended horizontally out, like an eave, to shield him from the black rain.

He dared not get involved, fearing that he might be tainted by some unknown misfortune.

Even so, gazing at the burning city shrouded in black rain, at the blood and flesh slowly washed away by the rain, he still deeply felt the intense sorrow and endless desolation contained within the rain.

This wasn't his feeling, but rather the emotion that permeated the black rain.

At that moment, the unknown entity resembling a heavily armored cavalryman moved.

It casually carried the golden halberd and walked to the kneeling Outer God in front of the mithril gate, but didn't even glance at Him. Instead, it bent down on its warhorse and picked up a round object.

Xia Ding looked closely and his heart skipped a beat again.

That was... the head of that Outer God!

This head doesn't look human; rather, it resembles the appearance of a giant jaw beast that has evolved into a demi-human.

It had a round head, no hair, no nose, black skin, and lifeless eyes.

His mouth had no lips, only protruding teeth, which were densely packed together like nails randomly inserted.

The moment he saw His head, Xia Fa finally understood where the sorrow and desolation in the black rain between heaven and earth came from.

This must be the deity worshipped and believed in by the Jawed Beasts; perhaps, He was once a Jawed Beast himself.

And just today, not long ago, this unknown being, resembling heavily armored cavalry, effortlessly destroyed the city built by His people, destroying the civilization that His people, as a strange entity, had painstakingly developed.

But He was utterly powerless, not only because His body was bound to this closed, mithril-forged, seemingly ancient gate,

It is also because, even though He is an Outer God, He was powerless to resist those heavily armored cavalrymen and did not even have the courage to fight back.

That's why He stayed in that palace built against the mountain from beginning to end.

Xia Fa even suspected that He had just died, right from the blow that the unknown being, who resembled a heavily armored cavalryman, hurled at the palace complex.

It clearly only intended to destroy the palace, yet it casually killed even the outer god.

An Outer God was thus subjected to extreme beheading, his head casually severed.

The moment he realized this, Xia Fa was enveloped by extreme horror and fear.

Where did this unknown entity, resembling heavily armored cavalry, come from, and what is its purpose?

Is it merely to destroy this civilization and kill an Outer God for amusement?

Thankfully, it destroyed the civilization of the supernatural beings, not human civilization... That was the only way Xia Fa could console himself.

But at that very moment, the unknown being, resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, carrying the head of the Outer God, slowly turned around, its massive, mountain-like form.

It was... pointing directly at where Xia Fa was hiding!

Chapter 67 The Sealed Artifact Finally Obtained!

In that instant, Xia Fa clearly felt that his body was "frozen".

Yes, that's exactly the feeling, like time has frozen, or like he's been petrified and can't move an inch.

That unknown entity was actually just casting a casual glance, as if looking at a weak aphid or a tiny ant.

But at Xia Fa's spine, countless strange currents surged forth again as if in response, desperately rushing towards his brain.

A burning sensation rose within his body, violent and fierce, as if it were about to ignite him completely.

But this time, he was quite surprised to find that he was able to adapt a little bit when facing the gaze of this unknown being who looked like a heavy armored cavalryman.

The strange electric current and burning sensation were desperately trying to counteract the terrifying influence of the unknown being's gaze, preventing Xia Fa from being drained of his spirit and on the verge of losing control again.

But that's all.

Xia Fa understood that once it rode up and raised its halberd, he... would have no chance of escape.

Just then, the unknown entity that resembled a heavily armored cavalryman actually moved!

Its gaze through the gaps in its helmet remained as casual as ever, as if, despite having a different prey, the prey did not arouse even the slightest vigilance in it.

It seemed that whether it was an Outer God or a weak Bacterium-level superhuman like Xia Fa, there was no difference in its eyes; it could behead them all with a casual halberd strike.

Xia Fa trembled uncontrollably, a mixture of fear and excitement for the upcoming battle.

If he were truly going to die, he wouldn't mind slashing at this unknown entity that resembled a heavily armored cavalryman.

Even if that strike was completely ineffective, he absolutely could not just sit and wait to die!

But then, an incredibly unbelievable scene unfolded.

A hand, also covered in armor, was placed on the shoulder of the heavily armored cavalryman.

Then, from the void, from the shadows, another heavily armored cavalryman... emerged!

Its size was unimaginably enormous, like the first heavy armored cavalryman, standing like an unshakable, towering mountain. It was also clad in full-coverage golden armor engraved with mysterious patterns.

The only difference is that it carries a giant golden axe on its shoulder instead of a golden halberd.

This scene was like a powerful mental shock or pollution, directly impacting Xia Fa's mind.

But he wasn't losing control; rather, his mind went blank, and he even became delirious.

This unknown entity, resembling a heavily armored cavalryman capable of executing an Outer God with ease and possessing strength almost comparable to nine gods… there are actually two of them?!

Moreover, apart from the different weapons, they all wore the same armor, rode the same warhorses, and even the armor covering the warhorses was exactly the same.

Xia Fa felt extremely terrified and had no doubt that if these two unknown beings, who looked like heavily armored cavalrymen, were to move together... they would be enough to destroy the world!

Unless... unless the nine great gods intervene!

Just then, the heavy armored cavalryman carrying the golden giant axe casually patted the heavy armored cavalryman carrying the golden halberd, and then cast a glance toward Xia Fa's location.

That gaze contained none of that terrifying influence, just as this heavily armored cavalryman carrying the golden giant axe was better able to control his own supreme power.

However, Xia Fa did not sense any goodwill in that gaze, nor any malice, but only a simple scrutiny and examination, as if he were looking at a young lion.

Immediately, the heavy armored cavalryman carrying the golden giant axe shook his head slightly at the heavy armored cavalryman carrying the golden halberd.

The heavily armored cavalryman carrying the golden halberd nodded slightly upon seeing this, as if agreeing to something, and then turned around.

Its warhorse took only one step, and suddenly a ripple appeared in the air, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Then, it rode into the ripple and disappeared completely.

However, even as it departed, it still carried the head of the Outer God in its hand.

The unfocused gaze on that head seemed to be taking one last look at the city.

Another unknown entity, resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, also rode away. Its movements were even more elusive; it simply turned its horse around, and its massive, mountain-like figure vanished into thin air without leaving a trace.

"call--"

Xia Fa let out a long sigh of relief, leaning against the charred wall, almost slipping to the ground.

The unknown being that appeared to be heavily armored cavalry had put too much pressure on him, making him feel as if he could be beheaded at any moment and that he was completely unable to resist.

Even though a second unknown being resembling a heavy armored cavalryman appeared and stopped the first one, Xia Fa felt an even stronger sense of crisis.

Because their eyes... didn't seem like they wanted to let him go; it was more like they felt he wasn't worth killing right now and could wait until later!

"Judging from what just happened, the Outer Gods are completely unable to deal with them, so... what about the Nine Great Gods?"

"And what about that great being that Patriarch Osius and the extraordinary monarch Dictator are both searching for?"

Xia Fa certainly wouldn't give up. In fact, this only fueled his desire to quickly become stronger in order to protect himself.

He originally just wanted to live a quiet and decent life, but if anyone, or even any being, dared to disrupt it... he would take action without hesitation!

The prerequisite for all of this is to become stronger!

Whether it's continuing to sign secret contracts or obtaining powerful secret treasures and sealed artifacts!

Oh, right, the sealed artifact!

Xia Fa's heart suddenly stirred, his eyes lit up, and he stood up.

He forced down his fear and finally stepped out of the half-collapsed wall, his gaze sweeping over the city built in a mountain range surrounded on three sides.

Now, the city is deathly silent, devoid of any living creature, except for him.

Those two unknown beings are gone, the Outer God worshipped by the Giant Jaw Beasts is dead, and as for the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Giant Jaw Beasts, not a single one survived.

The black rain continued to fall in a drizzle, descending upon the desolate city, and upon him as well.

A swirling current of air swept around Xia Fa, blowing away any black raindrops that fell on him.

Xia Fa's gaze fell upon the palace complex, which was now just an empty space.

A jet-black pillar of light shot into the sky, seemingly never to stop, and the powerful fluctuations it contained made Xia Fa feel terrified.

But the more alarmed he was, the more excited he became.

A slight tremor rang out from where the dark pillar of light was located. It was the unknown sealed object, emitting a joyful call, summoning Shafa to come.

boom--!

Suddenly, before Xia Fa could even walk over, the floor of that open space exploded and flew up in all directions.

Amidst the scattering of rubble and dust, a streak of dark light broke through everything at incredible speed, flying towards him and leaving a magnificent black line in the rain.

With almost no effort from Xia Fa, he simply grabbed the dark light with a casual grab.

As the dark light dissipated, the unknown sealed artifact, even more powerful than Baal's Blade, finally revealed its true form.

And there it was...

Horse-slaying sword!

This is a three-meter-long horse-slaying sword. The 1.2-meter-long hilt alone is comparable to the length of an ordinary battle sword, and the blade is even longer, at 1.8 meters.

It feels quite heavy in your hand.
