Three people were all looking at Eric with unfriendly eyes.
"Whoa there, you've chased from Roma to Tiandu, and from Tiandu to Cypress Mountain; aren't you guys a bit too persistent!" Without the Bloodthirsty Demon around, Eric immediately felt at ease and started to speak more fluently.
"Eric, come back with us to the Church Court for judgment," the only woman among the three spoke in a calm tone.
Clearly, she was the one with the most authority among them.
"Sola, don't be like that, I know you fancy me, but my heart belongs to Alina. She and I are genuinely in love; please wish us well," Eric said earnestly.
"Shut your mouth, you scoundrel. This is your last chance, otherwise, I'll take action," Sola growled; this Eric, every time he saw her, he would speak such nonsense.
It was simply unbearable, she felt like hitting him.
"Sola, that's not very nice of you. I actually came to Cypress Mountain this time to help out the Church Court. You should be thanking me, not cursing and attacking me; that's just too much," Eric rattled off effortlessly.
"Helping the Church Court?" Sola looked at Eric with some confusion.
You, other than causing trouble for the Church Court, what help could you possibly offer? I can't see any.
In fact, Sola didn't really detest Eric; it's just, who else could you flirt with if not Alina? Also, it wouldn't have mattered if you just held hands or kissed, but hitting a home run? How could the Pope not be angry!
The key issue is that some video clips of you hitting a home run with Alina have leaked out, which concerns the dignity of the Church Court!
No wonder the Pope wants to put you on trial.
"Yeah, right, these past few days, wasn't an Earl of the Blood Clan killed here in Cypress Mountain? The Church Court wants to find the hero who killed the Blood Clan Earl, so I thought I'd come help you look for them," said Eric.
Sola rolled her eyes; could you possibly spew more nonsense, Eric?
Besides, even if what you're saying is true, in this vast sea of people, could you actually find them? The Church Court has deployed a vast amount of resources and hasn't found any leads, you? Don't make me laugh.
"Hey, guess what, I actually found them!" Eric smacked his thigh and said.
Sola and the two men beside her were all startled; Eric found someone?
For real?
"Ding Ding Ding, that's right, it's this hero right beside me!" Eric stepped aside and pointed at Tang Rao with both hands, his face grinning like a sunflower.
All three of them looked at Tang Rao, then their expressions changed.
Eric, do you think we're brain-dead?
The guy in front of us should be only around twenty years old, wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops, couldn't look more ordinary; and you're saying the person who killed the Blood Clan Marquis is him?
Do you think we at the Church Court are blind?
Such people are dime a dozen on the streets... randomly picking someone and saying they're a big shot who defeated the Blood Clan, that's just ridiculous.
"Eric, are you kidding me? If you want to curry favor with the Pope, please be more genuine. What is this? If you're going to deceive, at least put some effort into it," Sola pointed at Eric and said.
"What do you mean by that, Sola?" Eric blinked his eyes.
"Nonsense, what else could it mean! This guy, you just picked him up on the street and hired him for a few hundred bucks, right?" Sola pointed at Tang Rao.
Eric looked stunned; Sola, have you gone mad? Tang Rao, a god with such a heroic presence, and you say I hired him? Could such a thing be hired?
"You, leave immediately, or you'll bear the consequences," Sola warned Tang Rao with a threatening face.
In her view, this kind of guy wouldn't put himself in danger for a mere hiring fee of a few hundred bucks.
A simple threat would most likely make him run away.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Eric, this is pretty awkward," Tang Rao said to Eric.
Eric also looked helplessly; if Sola doesn't believe it, there's nothing he could do.
"Eric, I want to tell you..."
"Hehehe..." Just as Sola was about to say something, an eerie voice suddenly rang out.
Sola and the others were startled, and all three of them immediately pulled out a silver cross from their chests, looking rather dashing.
"Blood Clan!!" Sola shouted loudly, "Battle stations!"
Whoosh!
From the top of a nearby building, a dark shadow suddenly leapt down, landing in between Tang Rao and Sola and the others.
Wrapped entirely in a voluminous robe.
"A Marquis!" Seeing the insignia on the person's robe, Sola's entire being went sour.
The two men by her side were even worse off, actually shivering with fear.
That was a Blood Clan Marquis, an existence many times more powerful than an Earl.
They couldn't even handle an Earl, let alone a Marquis.
"Church's trash, let me, Marquis Quirin, be the one to bury you!" The man straightened up, his mouth making a nasty grinding noise.
Tang Rao narrowed his eyes; was this what a Blood Clan Marquis was like? Although he couldn't sense the exact strength, in terms of aura, it should be comparable to the Fake Pill Realm.
If a Marquis is in the Fake Pill Realm, is a Duke in the Golden Core Stage?
How did they enter the Golden Core Stage?
"Right, Tong Chiyun said before, the Blood Clan has a long lifespan, those so-called Dukes, could it be that they already comprehended the Heavenly Dao before Chen Tuan set up the Space Barrier?" Tang Rao muttered to himself.
Damn, if that's really the case, how powerful have these Bloodline Dukes become after more than a thousand years?
"Eric, take your men and go first," Sola called out to Eric.
Eric and this hired fellow are innocent.
"Lord Tang Rao, don't you want to show off a bit?" Of course, Eric wouldn't leave. With Tang Rao there, why would he bother running?
"Alright..." Tang Rao nodded. He had seen several Blood Clan members before, and apart from Tong Chiyun, the others didn't seem to be any good stuff.
Looking at this Quirin, with such vigorous bloodthirst on him, who knows how many people he had harmed.
Such a guy really deserves to die.
"Aha ha ha ha, die for me!" Before Tang Rao could make a move, a loud boom came from the sky.
Then, everyone saw an enormous foot slamming down from above.
Directly crushing Quirin.
Crash!
The ground shattered, space trembled, and Quirin's blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
It wasn't until this moment that Sola and the others came to their senses, taking several steps back with pale faces.
The one who had crushed Quirin with a foot was of course the Bloodthirsty Demon; no one else but him.
At this time, the Bloodthirsty Demon had retracted his enlarged foot, returning it to the size of a normal person's, and casually put on the shoes he had taken off earlier.
"Wahaha, what a rush! Haven't had the pleasure of tormenting these outsiders in so many years, feels great!" the Bloodthirsty Demon exclaimed loudly.
Hearing the Bloodthirsty Demon's words, Tang Rao's eyes narrowed slightly; the Blood Clan are indeed Heaven Demons from outside the realm.
Sola looked at the Bloodthirsty Demon, the cross in her hand trembling and buzzing.
Too terrifying, he stomped a Marquis to death with a single foot, what on earth is the background of this man?
