Did the Four-Winged Angel Actually Back Down?

Black-gold double wings, a massive body thirty meters tall, completely covered in an ultra-luxurious black-gold metallic battle armor, with four ivory-like metal spikes on both shoulders.

"This form, why does it look so much like a Heavenly Demon?"

"This skeleton is actually a Heavenly Demon?"

The Four-Winged Angel's expression changed slightly.

Heavenly Demon were different from undead. In terms of life hierarchy, they were clearly higher than undead.

And not just a little higher.

It was the difference between an ant and a god.

She never would have expected that this undead's essence was actually a Heavenly Demon.

Heavenly Demon were rare. Even though she had traveled through various dangerous places and death zones in the Great Wasteland, she had only seen the corpse of one Heavenly Demon.

Heavenly Demon were born from desire and greed, formless and intangible in their original state, able to metamorphose into any form.

In terms of life hierarchy, they weren't much different from angels.

"Retreat."

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the Four-Winged Angel wanted to leave.

Her supposedly certain-victory strike had left no trace on Jiang Cheng's body, or rather, it was completely ineffective.

This Heavenly Demon was definitely not something she could handle right now.

She thought it best to retreat first.

"I didn't expect you to be a Heavenly Demon. You're lucky today. My true body isn't here, so I'll spare you."

Whoosh!

As soon as she finished speaking, the golden light surrounding the Four-Winged Angel suddenly dissipated, transforming into a stream of light, preparing to escape far from Qiuming Mountain.

But in the next moment, as twelve blue sword energies crisscrossed and struck the center of the light stream—

Boom!

The light stream the Four-Winged Angel had transformed into suddenly broke into sparks of light, to everyone's surprise.

Then, the Four-Winged Angel's phantom reappeared, becoming dim and lackluster.

Not only that, everyone noticed the Four-Winged Angel seemed to have suffered significant injuries. Her face looked extremely pale, startling everyone.

"You! Do you want to start a war with Heaven?!"

The Four-Winged Angel clutched her chest, her perfect face appearing very pale, her voice weakened.

"War? Wasn't your arrival already a declaration of war? Or are you saying you only represent yourself?"

Jiang Cheng extended his massive black-gold claw, pointing at the Four-Winged Angel. "Actually, that doesn't matter. I just want to know if killing you will give me experience."

"Experience? What is that?" The Four-Winged Angel was confused.

Though she'd often heard rangers mention these two words, the Four-Winged Angel never really understood what experience meant to these people.

But she didn't bother with that now.

This Heavenly Demon could seriously injure her phantom with one strike, which meant his strength was definitely just below hers. She needed to maneuver carefully.

Although this was just one of her many phantoms, with only one percent of her true form's power, these phantoms were connected to her true form. If one died, it would cause significant damage to her soul.

So it was best not to die.

"No, no, don't misunderstand. I only represent my personal stance, not Heaven's. This time, it's just my personal action."

The Four-Winged Angel desperately explained, fearing Jiang Cheng would bring disaster to Heaven. This attitude immediately shocked everyone.

"Damn, what's happening? Why do I feel like this angel backed down? Is the blue skeleton really that powerful?"

"Hell, how could she not back down? One strike and she's seriously injured. If it were me, I'd probably be killed instantly. How could she not back down?"

"Why is he so damn powerful? It's over, this angel was summoned by our Vice President, and now even a Four-Winged Angel is no match for the blue skeleton. When the blue skeleton finishes with the Four-Winged Angel, aren't we dead for sure?"

"A Four-Winged Angel! That's an existence just below a Seraphim, yet she's seriously injured by the blue skeleton in one strike. Are we even playing the same game?"

"Even a Four-Winged Angel is seriously injured by him in one strike. If we had attacked just now... then..."

The members of Qionglou were all shocked after witnessing Jiang Cheng's terrifying power. While feeling afraid, they also worried about their fate.

Huo Silou was also amazed.

Though she had seen the blue skeleton's power before, this display of strength was far beyond her expectations.

Even the legendary Four-Winged Angel started backing down before him. He was inhumanly strong!

She had actually thought the blue skeleton was doomed and felt a bit sad about it.

Now, what was there to be sad about?

"If Jiang God were here, with his skills, could he beat this blue skeleton?" Huo Silou wondered.

But immediately, she forcefully banished this absurd thought from her mind.

"No, no, no, my Jiang God created fifteen divine skills, was called the Sixteen Profession Demon King, and once solo fought the final boss. A mere skeleton would be nothing to him!"

"Hmm? Wait, wait." Huo Silou suddenly slapped her forehead, remembering something that made her expression change slightly. "That's not right, this blue skeleton seems to know divine skills too..."

"So if they fought... who would win?"

"No, no, Jiang God's fifteen divine skills are true divine skills. How could others using them be as strong as my Jiang God? Even the Twelve Gods used them awkwardly, let alone a skeleton."

"So what if he can transform? No matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger than my Jiang God! Hmph!"

Huo Silou shook her head, strengthening her confidence in her idol, then looked toward the massive black-gold figure in the sky.

She wanted to know how this blue skeleton would deal with a Four-Winged Angel with perfect beauty and figure who was now showing weakness.

"If there's no experience, I wonder if I can still resurrect?"

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, then, ignoring the Four-Winged Angel's pleas, his black-gold claw moved slightly.
