Chapter 465 Torrential Rain
"It's all thanks to His Excellency Vladimir."
Bai Ze always mentioned Vladimir, saying, "The Marshal's opinion of me changed immediately after he heard that I had sensed the radiance of Ursus."
"I see." Dmitri accepted the explanation without hesitation.
Vladimir's prestige, like this crimson radiance, penetrates the hearts of every member of the military.
Given a reason to accept him, it wouldn't be difficult for Comrade to gain the Marshal's favor, given his abilities.
Dmitri also experienced this firsthand; he could still recall the intense heat of the endless scorching wind and the shock of the explosion.
At this point, Dmitry hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I still have to report to the Marshal, so I won't chat with you any longer."
"It's alright, go ahead."
Bai Ze smiled, then reminded him, "By the way, don't forget to report to Grand Duke Winter that the Great Freedom Demonic Cult is highly related to the Undead. The one I clashed with before was an incarnation of the Undead. And as far as I know, the Great Freedom Demonic Cult should be being hunted down by some force in the near future."
Although Koschae killed all the members of the Great Freedom Cult, he still left some clues behind.
Furthermore, the "heresy" that Xu Cheng mentioned is also a direction for investigation.
Bai Ze did not intend to conceal this information, but rather to use the power of the Ursus Federation to investigate it.
He will also have the message relayed to Dongxia.
With the combined strength of two major powers, casting a wide net, they're bound to find something.
Of course, this was not without the possibility of leaks from insiders. Bai Ze would have Luo Shu and the spirit machines he controlled monitor the network.
As expected, upon hearing the news from Kosch, Dmitri hurriedly left.
Bai Ze glanced at Dmitri's retreating figure and left silently.
His figure disappeared into the shadows in a nearby corner, following an invisible connection, and quietly arrived at the other side of the market center, entering a log cabin that was clearly in the Ursus style.
There was no one else inside, and the surrounding area was absolutely quiet.
Bai Ze entered the house and saw Ekaterina sitting on a wooden chair, lost in thought.
With her silver-white hair cascading down, she lazily crossed her legs, the hem of her coat parted, her right hand resting on her knee, supporting her delicate chin.
Bai Ze sat down opposite her, and Ekaterina also came to her senses, turning her gaze to Bai Ze.
"You won the bet, but you still came," Ekaterina said quietly.
Her voice was no longer as sharp as before, but rather had a quiet and profound quality, like that of a secluded bamboo grove.
"I won the bet, but that doesn't affect where I go, does it?"
Bai Ze chuckled softly and said, "Moreover, I am going to have talks with representatives from Ursus."
This is indeed a reason, but in any case, it does not affect Ursus's support.
Otherwise, the military strategist wouldn't have spent the previous few hours recounting his glorious years with Vladimir.
"You know what I mean," Ekaterina interrupted. "I've already told you that my adoptive father is coming. With your intelligence, you shouldn't be unaware of why he's coming."
Of course it's to beat up the blond guy, what else could it be for?
Bai Ze muttered to himself about the strategist's sinister intentions, then looked at Ekaterina and said, "I just think that at times like this, men should be more responsible."
They're not from Africa, so they don't know how to disappear.
Bai Ze felt that as a man from Dongxia, he still had to take responsibility.
Although Bai is a bit of a jerk.
His relationship with Ekaterina arose from conflict, a twist of fate that could be considered a tragic entanglement. They never had a formal relationship or spent much time together, yet he had to admit that she was undeniably attractive to him.
Furthermore, the spiritual connection between the two has never been broken. Despite not knowing each other very well, they feel that they understand each other quite well.
Ekaterina didn't speak, but just stared at Bai Ze with her bright eyes, silently meeting his gaze.
Suddenly, she pounced like a cheetah.
The hem of the military uniform parted and covered the chair, and a pretty face quickly approached.
As if it wanted to devour Bai Ze, it frantically pounced on him, its eyes meeting Bai Ze's at close range, filled with a kind of resolute determination.
"Did you hear that?"
Catherine pressed her hand to her chest and said, "You have captured the heart of Ursus's daughter."
"But do you have the guts to accept it?"
Without saying much, Bai Ze looked at Ekaterina and immediately took action.
After that, everything fell into place.
Memories are like a storm, chaotic and mixed, with only the sound of rain continuing.
As the sunlight streamed through the window the next day, Catherine raised her right hand, and golden lines appeared on her palm, helping her recover from her physical exhaustion.
She raised her head, breathing softly.
"Ursus's daughter, you're admitting defeat already?" Bai Ze chuckled mockingly.
Catherine was competitive and never admitted defeat. She always wanted to gain the upper hand, but she failed repeatedly.
She was quite persistent, never using the Hand of God to harness its power until now, when she finally couldn't resist using it.
"What kind of martial art is this?"
Ekaterina whispered, "You're not human, you're a monster!"
The Ursus Saintess, who had never been inferior to anyone in her life, felt that she was really going to lose this time.
As a result, Bai Ze still had the energy to joke around, without even panting.
This was the embodiment of the faith of the entire nation of Ursus, the savior of the orthodox religion, a born divine body, yet it was defeated by Bai Ze, an ordinary person.
There's only one explanation: either the divine body is fake, or Bai Ze is not human.
Ekaterina was absolutely certain it was the latter.
"Who told you not to use the Hand of God?" Bai Ze chuckled.
If you won't use the Hand of God, do you mean you won't let me use the passive Xuanhuang Dao Body?
The true value of the seamless integration and harmonious transformation of essence, energy, and spirit is fully demonstrated at this moment.
Furthermore, Bai Ze's words always carry the weight of his actions, with several commands remaining in effect at all times, such as super-fast recovery.
Flesh and blood derivatives, etc.
In terms of survival, he always goes all out, ensuring that even if he is ambushed, has his heart removed, or even his head taken, he will not die.
"This is the highest miracle of the Holy Church. What do you take the Hand of God for?"
Ekaterina said with dissatisfaction.
This is the hand of the One God, which gathers all the miracles of the Holy Church. It is a power that guarantees victory once it is used, and yet you allow the hand of God to be used for such a thing.
That's blasphemy!
"Since you don't want to win, then there's nothing I can do." Bai Ze laughed incessantly.
To think you can beat him without cheating is wishful thinking.
Even with the help of God, victory is not guaranteed; how much more so without it?
Hearing Bai Ze's laughter, Ekaterina became annoyed, and the golden patterns on her right hand gradually intensified, shining with dazzling divine light.
"You asked for this," she said through gritted teeth.
As soon as she finished speaking, the power belonging to the Ursus Orthodox Church was mobilized by the Hand of God, and Ekaterina returned to her peak, even surpassing her previous level.
An incredibly powerful pressure swept over him, causing Bai Ze to gasp involuntarily.
"You—" Bai Ze said with some difficulty.
"I told you, you asked for this." Ekaterina laughed triumphantly, golden light shimmering in her eyes.
This time, I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat.
But in the next instant—
Ekaterina's almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly.
Why does Bai Ze seem even more powerful now?
Then, the primordial energy and the holy light collided head-on.
Later, the auras of Ekaterina and Bai Ze became mixed, and it became impossible to distinguish whose true essence was whose holy light.
Bai Ze had to admit the power of the God's Hand; he had almost lost.
If it weren't for the power of his Xuanhuang Dao Body, he would have been utterly defeated.
"I still need to improve my skills."
If one's cultivation level is insufficient, one cannot even straighten one's back.
This is how cruel this martial arts era is.
As Bai Ze thought this, he had already calmed down.
With the speed at which the true essence of the Cantongqi could be restored, along with his Xuanhuang Dao Body and the ability to make his words lawful, Bai Ze was practically immortal and could recover in the blink of an eye.
In contrast, Catherine, despite having access to the immense power of the Ursus Church, also has her limits, and she has now reached the limit of her physical endurance.
As Bai Ze was thinking this, he was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something.
He separated his consciousness, which was attached to Luo Shui, and it began to fluctuate, being awakened by Luo Shui.
Meanwhile, in another world, within Yujing Martial Arts University.
Inside the spacious room, screens flashed, displaying various scenes.
Luo Shui paced back and forth in front of the light screen, her face showing obvious anxiety and a hint of panic.
Until a certain moment, a familiar feeling appeared in her mind, and a golden light appeared in her left eye, coloring her pupil gold. Only then did Luo Shui breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's the rush?"
Bai Ze's thoughts fluctuated, and he asked.
"A large number of corpses of followers of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult have suddenly appeared in various parts of Dongxia. They were all killed by others."
Luo Shui's expression brightened, and he immediately said, "And there's also Fan Zhu. The Martial Arts Association's agents in Fan Zhu sent back intelligence that thousands of people were killed within two days. The victims were drained of their life force, undoubtedly members of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult."
"Your people in Japan have also sent back intelligence that a large number of followers of the Great Freedom Demon Lord have died, some by suicide and some by murder."
"If it weren't for the traces of demonic blood being drained from the corpses, we wouldn't have known that so many members of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult had died."
"I already know about this," Bai Ze's consciousness replied. "Since it has already happened, there's no need to rush. Finding the truth is the most important thing."
"But I always have a bad feeling."
Luo Shui said somewhat uneasily, "It's like someone is plotting against me. I wonder how my sister is doing. She's in seclusion, but through our mental connection, I sensed that she's also quite heavy-hearted."
Bai Ze: "Uh—"
This is probably, maybe, possibly not someone else's fault.
Martial arts masters have remarkably accurate intuition; their sudden feelings are often correct.
In particular, their crisis predictions are rarely wrong.
Biological beings evolve their crisis instincts as they improve their martial arts skills, becoming sensitive to things that are detrimental to them.
It may not happen often, but whenever it does, something is definitely going on.
