Lv Bai was a bit stunned as he watched the staff member in mid-air, assuming a free-fall posture.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough.

At this point, he had no choice but to activate [Flash Time]. In a rush, he randomly picked a usable ability to replace the [Great Sword Master’s Flying Slash].

He then reached out his hand towards the staff member who was plunging rapidly. An invisible and colorless force extended from his palm, halting the staff member’s fall.

[Telekinesis (Gold): An ability to directly affect the physical system through consciousness. The energy consumption of this ability depends on the mass of the target being influenced.]

In Lv Bai’s "discard pile", there were quite a few abilities that could be used in this situation, but the urgency didn’t allow him to pick the most suitable one.

His outstretched palm slowly moved downward, controlling the staff member’s descent.

Before the staff member could land safely, Lv Bai preemptively raised his head to warn, "Just kidding, if you jump again, I won’t save you."

It was fortunate that he reminded them, as everyone on the rooftop had witnessed him catching the person safely.

Given the successful example, if Lv Bai had spoken a bit slower, those on the rooftop might have jumped like dumplings into the pot.

However, because they witnessed such a thing firsthand, even with Lv Bai stopping them from continuing to jump, the panic on the rooftop ceased to spread.

Minister Zhang’s secretary felt somewhat relieved, yet, looking at the information received, decided to give a reminder.

He leaned close to Minister Zhang’s ear and whispered, "Minister, Kayako is already on the fourth floor."

Minister Zhang was pondering how to inform Lv Bai when he suddenly heard a series of gasps from the surrounding crowd.

It turned out that Lv Bai had taken a step forward and suddenly leaped into the air.

In less than a second, Lv Bai had soared the height of five floors, arriving at the same level as the rooftop.

"Master Lv! Please save us."

"Do you remember me?"

"Great, I knew the Guardian God wouldn’t abandon us."

Lv Bai raised his hand, pressing down slightly, signaling everyone to keep calm.

Thanks to his own strength and the publicity over the past period, his prestige was enough to make these top executives obey his words.

The scene quieted down immediately, and people looked at him with reverent eyes, unable to conceal their inner excitement.

"There’s no need to panic, I understand the situation."

Lv Bai wore a harmless smile on his face as he glanced at the iron door of the rooftop entrance, "Kayako, is it?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sinister laughter suddenly echoed.

"Hehehe..."

It’s worth noting that the laughter was very clear, yet difficult to pinpoint where it was coming from, making it feel as though it was right next to one’s ear.

Lv Bai stepped forward, landing lightly on the rooftop.

Amidst such eerie laughter, he chuckled casually, "Stop playing such tricks. If you scare me, I can do anything."

It seemed Kayako could understand what Lv Bai was saying. After hearing his words, she revealed herself voluntarily.

She twisted and crawled out of the rooftop entrance in a way that was extremely contrary to human ergonomics, accompanied by a series of teeth-gnashing sounds of bones rubbing. Her two arms, thin as dry wood, pressed against the ground, resembling a lingering spider.

Just watching her emerge in such a stance made one feel a bit physically uncomfortable.

Her drooping black hair covered most of her face, and through the gaps, one could see a bloodshot eyeball, staring intently at Lv Bai.

Suddenly, Kayako started to move, crawling straight towards Lv Bai.

Judged by human standards, her crawling speed wasn’t actually fast.

Yet, for all present, it felt as if they were bound by some invisible force, losing control over their bodies.

When Kayako closed in within two meters of Lv Bai, she sprang forward, attempting to bite Lv Bai’s head. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Watch out!"

The scene rapidly deteriorated, as Minister Zhang broke out into a cold sweat, mustering all his strength, managing to only shout these two words. Many couldn’t help but close their eyes in despair.

Bang!!!

The imagined scene of blood splattering didn’t happen.

Instead, there was a thick, almost deafening metal clang.

[Steel Body (Color): Gain super defense, even entering the core of the sun won’t cause injury. However, beware, contact with certain radioactive stones will nullify the defense.]

Lv Bai ran his hand randomly over his head, then suddenly used force, throwing Kayako aside like a rag doll.

Even with all her intense resentment, Kayako was visibly dumbfounded by the situation.

Lv Bai touched his neck, his smile growing ever brighter.

Though thanks to [Steel Body] he wasn’t harmed at all, he still didn’t like the eerie experience of being bitten.

The [Restore] ability was swapped again.

He stepped forward.

A cross symbol appeared out of nowhere on the palm of his right hand.

The next moment, his right hand clenched into a fist, suddenly bursting with an astounding glow that wasn’t glaring but carried a sacred and noble aura.

Everyone who saw this light couldn’t help but want to bow their heads in reverence.

The fist, shining with golden light, struck Kayako’s head with pinpoint precision, as if by teleportation.

Bang!

The warmth of this glow, benign to ordinary people, caused Kayako great discomfort, as if she were engulfed by intolerably scalding heat.

The divine, inviolable majesty soared skyward, creating a gaping hole in Kayako’s head, with the light spreading like purification, covering her whole body.

Not only suppressing and eradicating the resentment and Yin Qi she exuded, but it also completely dismantled her existence on a physical level.

Witnessing this, everyone was stunned, some older executives clutching their chests, overwhelmed by such a stimulating scene.

Compared to previous rituals using Yellow Talismans, the [Heaven’s Fist] ability was more visually effective in distinguishing between the righteous and the evil.

In the past, referring to Lv Bai as the Guardian God was more of a hopeful aspiration, but seeing him wield such abilities was akin to witnessing a true God, compelling them to immediately follow and become a devout believer.

However, not all consequences were beneficial.

Perhaps the supernatural entities loathed this type of energy; after Lv Bai unleashed the [Heaven’s Fist], the black hole in the sky reacted violently.

The oppressive aura that the black hole originally exuded intensified several times over.

Even around the black hole, dense black clouds began to swirl.
