I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 207 : 188. Contaminate the Goddess’s Object

Clearly, the deity at the end of the Star River was the Black Moon Goddess.

Mushroom, curious, dashed toward the end of the Star River at high speed, but the distance to the deity's image didn't change in the slightest. This Star River seemed to have no end at all, stretching on into infinite light-years.

However, the aura of the Holy Liquid on the goddess's body was extremely rich, so rich that even separated by endless light-years, Xia Feng could still feel it distinctly.

Xia Feng's eyes burned with fervor as he looked up at the Divine Body of the Black Moon Goddess, wrapped in blinding divine light, lost in thought.

"Absorb the Red Mist, but that's impossible to absorb, isn't it?" Just then, a complaint came from another Star River not far away.

Mushroom looked up to see a woman using a Spiritual Artifact on a mass of dark red mist, seemingly trying to absorb it, but as the mist entered her body, terrifying blood vessels emerged on her face, and she hastily stepped back in panic.

The Red Mist was the selection standard for the Black Moon Saintess. Once someone was the first to absorb 10m³ of Red Mist without harm, the Black Moon Goddess would awaken and bestow upon that person the Black Moon Mark.

And according to the rules, the higher the Dark Attribute of the Spirit Master, the more Red Mist they could withstand.

Mushroom also tried to reach out to touch the Red Mist, but Xia Feng quickly spoke up, "Don't touch it yet."

"Why not?" Mushroom asked, puzzled.

Xia Feng's heart sank slightly. He had clearly sensed that these Red Mists contained immense Evil Power, but what was bizarre was that they also possessed the Divinity of the Star God.

Since it contained Evil Power, in theory, he should be able to absorb it, but through the sensation of the Evil Demon Heart, Xia Feng found that he couldn't absorb it at all, and there was even some rejection.

Combining that with the information of the Black Moon Goddess's corruption...

"This Red Mist is very likely the thing corrupting the Black Moon Goddess. Since you're not running for Black Moon Saintess anyway, it's safer not to absorb it for now."

"Sure," Mushroom nodded.

"Li Hongdou, I've finally found you."

At that moment, a tall knight appeared on another Star River. He leapt forward briskly, his face cold as he charged straight at Mushroom.

"Traitor, die!" As the knight shouted, he swung his long sword down toward Mushroom's head.

Ding—A large hand effortlessly grabbed onto the blade, and a man wearing white clothes with a 'K' mask stood in front of Mushroom, appearing out of nowhere.

The tall knight paused, clearly not expecting Li Hongdou to have assistance. He spoke with a grave voice, "Who are you?"

Xia Feng didn't respond but calmly asked, "You're a Black Moon Knight, right? Why do you want to kill Li Hongdou?"

Naturally, it was the Judgment Chief's order to kill a traitor! The tall knight, expressionless and offering no further explanation, merely glanced at Xia Feng indifferently and fiercely readied to strike down this masked man as well!

However, to his confusion, the long sword in his hand wouldn't budge. He stared at Xia Feng in astonishment, wanting to retreat in horror, but it was already too late.

Crack—Xia Feng gripped the tall knight's neck and easily twisted it, breaking it effortlessly. The powerful force rendered the knight like a little chick, utterly unable to resist.

The knight's soul simultaneously left his body, eyes filled with terror as it attempted to escape, but it was just as effortlessly slashed out by Xia Feng.

With the enemy dealt with in two seconds, although Xia Feng hadn't extracted much from the knight's mouth, he could more or less guess the dark reasons behind it; the Black Moon Church really was corrupt, willing to do anything vile.

While contemplating, a blue stone emerged floating from the knight's corpse's forehead, and Xia Feng caught it.

Feeling the information that entered his mind, Xia Feng's eyes brightened. He looked up at the endless Star River around him. In this realm where Spiritual Clothes couldn't be used, as long as there weren't multiple Fifth Rank Spirit Masters, he was invincible, free to rob whomever he wanted.

As for the Heavenly Stone Embryo that the two Church Courts were fighting over, Xia Feng decided not to bother with it for now.

"Come on, I'll take you to rob from the rich and give to the poor!"

Guided by the candlelight, Xia Feng could faintly sense the location of the nearby Yao Stone.

Along a certain Star River.

Fifteen Silver Knights stood in three respectful rows in front of a statuesque woman, while a middle-aged female Knight beside her bowed and said respectfully,

"Miss Ito Mei, please rest assured, we are ordered by the Judgment Chief to protect you thoroughly!"

Ito Mei swept a detached glance over the Knights before her and nodded slightly. There were ten Third Rank Knights, no Fourth Rank, but strangely, there was one Fifth Rank Knight—a very powerful line-up.

"In fact, there are also two Level 5 Fierce Battle Knights specially transferred from the headquarters who have yet to join us," Rek, the Fifth Rank Knight, stepped out from the formation. He had also been specially dispatched from another large district, "With a Fifth Rank and two Level 5 Fierce Battle Knights present, I believe we will certainly seize the Heavenly Stone Embryo this time!"

The Fierce Battle Knight is a Knight project of the Black Moon Church, allowing Knights to reach the strength of Fifth Rank through special spiritual materials, though their Spiritual Pressure state is often only Second or Third Rank.

Before Rek could finish, he suddenly froze and looked down at the flickering pattern in his hand, his expression turning somber.

"What happened?"

"The subordinates I sent to execute Li Hongdou have just died," Knight Rek spoke gravely.

"Li Hongdou?" Ito Mei's eyes flickered, and she spoke with a hint of a smile, "Why would you kill her? Don't kill her just yet; her skin is of great use to me."

Hearing this, Rek paused, then narrowed his eyes and nodded faintly, "Indeed, with such talent, it would be good to strip her skin for your use."

Ito Mei's Spiritual Artifact was quite perverse, it was a B-grade Spiritual Artifact called Human Skin Scissors—

It could not only strip the skin off a living person to make a human skin Puppet, but it could also cover herself to change her appearance, thus obtaining 30% of the Puppet's strength, agility, and spiritual attributes before death.

This Spiritual Artifact was incredibly sinister. Ito Mei had been a nun in the Church for ten years and only exposed her possession of this nefarious Spiritual Artifact three years ago, causing a significant uproar. She almost got executed as a member of a Cult.

But in the end, protected by the Judgment Chief, not only was she spared from punishment, but she was also promoted and received a pay raise all in one fell swoop due to how powerful the Spiritual Artifact could be if utilized correctly. She became an inquisitorial nun tasked with punishing the vile apostates.

It has to be admitted that Human Skin Scissors is indeed a fine Spiritual Artifact for torturing and punishing.

From this, the Judgment Chief also pronounced a profound adage—there are no evil Spiritual Artifacts, only evil users.

The priests were convinced by this sentiment.

"Do you know where Li Hongdou is now?" Ito Mei's expression was calm, but her heart was already eager to strip Li Hongdou's skin; she adored Lolita-like appearances, and Li Hongdou's adorable looks perfectly matched her desires.

Of course, it was mainly to satisfy the Judgment Chief's desires, and she understood that only by continuously pleasing his perverse tastes could she have a brighter future.

"I might be able to deduce the location of Li Hongdou, Miss Ito Mei, please follow me."

...

Mushroom was currently transformed into a blue mushroom hiding in the shadows, almost exploding in shock upon hearing these people's conversation.

What Xia Feng said was indeed correct—the Black Moon Church was really too chaotic and corrupt. It was fortunate that she went to the Elemental Church instead.

Xia Feng, using Bronze Hidden, also silently observed the group of Knights from the shadows.

Logically speaking, these Black Moon Knights, not being candidates, shouldn't have appeared here.

But Xia Feng soon understood, guessing that the Black Moon Church had secretly arranged for these Knights to disguise themselves as contestants from various places to obtain Yao Stones and enter the Miracle Star River, aiming to have more high-end combat power available to grab the Heavenly Stone Embryo.

However, this was no longer important to Xia Feng. He narrowed his eyes at the distant Knights.

That Knight called Rek, the one Fifth Rank Knight, for some reason had his power sealed to Fourth Rank, meaning that these people were now surrounded by him...

"Let's go, let's find Li Hongdou first," Ito Mei said with a light smile. But before she could finish, a white shadow suddenly swept in from the side, bearing excitement and a thirst for killing.
