Although they didn’t belong to the same school, the truths of the world remained interconnected.

The subtlety of her transition from masculine to feminine strength made Qi Xing, who was very fond of the conversion between the hard and soft of Yin and Yang, secretly praise her in his heart.

But an expert is an expert after all.

This nimble transition was not enough to surprise Qi Xing.

The delinquent girl dodged, but he did not pursue, letting the opponent make another move.

The flaming fist whistled toward him, the scorching air currents distorting the atmosphere as it struck straight at Qi Xing's face.

Her fist wind was fierce and violent, as if intending to burn everything before her to ashes.

However, Qi Xing merely turned slightly to the side, raised his hand, and with a gentle lead, deflected the flaming fist.

Although many people had this misconception.

Although a great many evildoers had this misunderstanding before being beaten to death.

But [ Master Leipu ] really was not just a launcher for the fierce Thunder Fist.

A flash of surprise crossed the delinquent girl's eyes, but her attack did not pause in the slightest.

She spun and delivered a low kick, flames igniting along her lower leg, carving out a scorching arc.

Qi Xing retreated half a step, avoiding the scorching offensive, while his palm pressed down like flowing clouds, borrowing her momentum to deliver a gentle push.

The girl's otherwise fluid kick suddenly stalled, her body slightly losing balance.

Her feet scraped a scorched mark across the ground, the intense flames branding the concrete floor and leaving behind charred cracks.

Before she could adjust her posture, Qi Xing had already stepped forward, his palms pushing out in a continuous, flowing stream.

The girl twisted to dodge again, but was still grazed on the shoulder by the palm wind.

Her flames flickered abruptly, and her figure was forced back several steps, colliding with a nearby abandoned metal shipping container, causing the container to dent and dust to fill the air.

" You… guy… "

She panted slightly, her brows furrowed, and more gravity showed in her eyes.

These palms, sweeping and striking, had caused her blood to churn even though she had managed to pull away in time, making her feel even more surprised.

Qi Xing did not respond, merely smiling as he assumed a relaxed, soft stance, his left palm slowly drawing a circle, his right hand pressing into the void, seemingly waiting for the girl's next attack.

This unhurried attitude was sometimes very infuriating.

With a low shout, the delinquent girl stomped hard, the ground instantly shattering, and cracked concrete fragments splashed everywhere.

She had transformed into a scorching afterimage, rushing toward him.

This strike was even swifter than before, and it was no longer a fist technique.

Qi Xing saw it perfectly clearly.

She had already used two fingers to form a sword stance, the flames burning even more intensely at her fingertips; the fire sword was like a meteor falling from the sky.

Qi Xing did not dodge or evade; instead, he took advantage of the momentum to raise his right arm, vibrating it slightly to skillfully block the girl's wrist.

The flames danced beside his skin but could not truly burn him.

The girl did not stop, her left leg kicking up violently, bringing with it rolling heat waves, aiming straight for Qi Xing's side.

But Qi Xing slightly turned his body, avoiding the sharp edge, while his left hand reached out nimbly, two fingers tapping the side of the girl's knee to borrow her force and deflect her.

The girl's offensive stalled instantly, her balance destroyed, and her body involuntarily fell backward.

He fought with such ease.

Looking at the girl opposite, she gritted her teeth, forcibly twisted her body, and stepped in the air, spinning several times before forcibly stabilizing her figure.

When she landed, she slid several meters, her shoe soles scraping charred marks on the ground.

The cracks in the ground continued to expand.

She collided with the wall of an old warehouse nearby, and a corner of the wooden structure suddenly collapsed, kicking up debris and dust.

Qi Xing stood in place, still maintaining a leisurely posture, not even a corner of his clothing scorched by the flames.

Anyone could see that the girl had already fallen into a disadvantage.

Unfortunately, Sasa was not as leisurely as Qi Xing; she got anxious immediately: " Stop acting like an expert! Hurry up and take this little girl down! "

" Why the rush. "

Qi Xing was still enjoying the fight,

" Do you know what's wrong with her flames? "

" Uh, I'm not sure yet. But—— "

Before she could finish her sentence, an unexpected change occurred.

Although the delinquent girl had been pushed back, her fighting spirit had not diminished in the slightest.

She took a deep breath, planted her feet firmly on the cracked ground, and slowly raised her arms, assuming the starting stance of Kyudo.

Although her hands were empty, the next moment, scorching flames ignited from her left fingertips, like a red wild snake leaping in a gale, rapidly converging into a great bow made entirely of raging fire.

Her right two fingers lightly rested on the string, and flames condensed into a blazing arrow.

The arrowhead pointed at Qi Xing, the air already distorted and deformed under the scorching high temperature.

" Burn to ashes! Inner Seventy-Nine Style · Dragon Shoots, Tiger Crouches! "

With a low shout, she released the bowstring, and the arrow of raging flames whistled out, dragging a scorching trail of fire as it tore through the sky!

Heat waves instantly swept across the area, the outer walls of the warehouse scorched and deformed.

Qi Xing grinned and raised his hand to condense his Qi.

Centered on his palm, in a small space, everything seemed to freeze for an instant.

His True Qi transformed into an absolutely solid shield wall, intending to block the girl's fire arrow.

However, what happened next was beyond his expectations.

Boom——

The fire arrow struck the Qi barrier, and at the moment of explosion, scorching flames swept outward, igniting the surrounding abandoned cargo and instantly turning the desolate pier into a churning sea of fire.

This was not a big deal.

Qi Xing's True Qi had already blocked the raging fire, and he was completely unaffected.

" Huh? "

However, the devil who had been grazed by the flames let out a scream——her shadow actually began to shrink!

" ——Uriel?! "

Before the words faded, she had shrunk to the size of a palm, her eyes turning into spinning mosquito-coil circles, and she actually collapsed on top of Qi Xing's head, fainting directly!

Huh? What is wrong with this devil, why did she faint now!?

" You should at least tell me what Uriel is first! "

Although Qi Xing himself was completely fine, this situation was truly beyond his expectations——could this Loli Evil God actually go offline?!

It was funny to say, although Samael could not be seen, the delinquent girl on the other side was actually just as surprised——usually, what she had done by now would be enough, so why hadn't this person's contract been severed?

Was he not an ordinary great devil? Or… was he something like a Heavenly Demon?

For a moment, the scene became somewhat awkward, and both sides were a bit hesitant.

The thing Qi Xing wanted to do most right now was to rush back and check on Sasa's condition, and also ask Elaine what this [ Uriel ] actually was.

Besides, Elaine had specifically warned him before not to really cause trouble outside.

As for the delinquent girl, she had originally only intended to burn the possessing evil spirit inside the stranger before her, and now… it seemed… it was burned to death?

Moreover, she was actually very afraid of making a big scene.

( Should I just retreat first? )

By now, the two people who had started fighting for no reason actually both felt a desire to retreat…

But as the saying goes, even if you lose, don't lose your spirit.

Both sides felt they hadn't lost, so how could they be willing to show weakness and retreat first?

So after a long standoff, they changed their minds, and both of them simultaneously came up with an idea.

Lightning began to shine in Qi Xing's hands.

Flames began to rise all over the girl's body.

No sooner said than done!

The girl held her index finger to her lips and shouted: " Inner Thirty-Six Style · Moon Congyun! "

Qi Xing placed his hands in front of his forehead and yelled: " Solar Flare! "

Instantly, thick black smoke spewed from the girl's mouth, like an industrial boiler explosion.

A sky full of smoke screen instantly filled the surroundings, shrouding the entire abandoned pier in pitch blackness!

Boom!!!

At the same time, dazzling bright light exploded from Qi Xing's forehead.

This blinding white light, which had exploded suddenly, actually tore through the black smoke released by the girl!

The clash between light and smoke lasted only for an instant.

The thick smoke was illuminated until it looked like thin mist, but the strong light, due to the obstruction of the black fog, failed to spread out completely.

The scene instantly became bizarre——dazzling white light shone through the smoke, looking like some kind of eerie weather phenomenon.

Seen from afar, it was as if a black sun had risen!

But neither of them cared whether the scene was bizarre or not.

Before the smoke had dissipated and the light had faded, they had already used the cover of their respective moves to run wildly, leaving the scene without looking back!

On the empty battlefield, only a miserable mess and the still-burning abandoned warehouse remained.

After flying at lightning speed for quite a distance, Qi Xing stopped and looked back.

Confirming that the opponent had not followed, he nodded to himself, feeling that he had been quite clean and efficient this time.

It was only the moment he relaxed slightly that a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind——

" Strange, did the opponent run away too just now? "

At the same time, far away on another abandoned shipping container, the girl, who was observing the street with her arms crossed, also frowned slightly, only now realizing the same problem:

" Why did that person on the other side also run away on their own? "

Five minutes later, Qi Xing returned to the hotel room that Elaine had booked for them.

He and Elaine stayed in one suite, and Old Wolf stayed in another room alone.

The Evil God projection, whose eyes were spinning like mosquito coils, was placed by Qi Xing into a hotel glass, and after soaking her in hot water, she woke up immediately, and indeed, she was fine.

Fine was fine, but after Sasa woke up, she fell into a state of panic, hugging the roasted chestnuts Qi Xing had given her and shrinking on the table, wailing: " Aieeeee! "

This was just like a good citizen of Neo-Saitama who had suddenly bumped into a ninja.

Helpless, Qi Xing had to turn and ask Elaine: " Do you know what Uriel is? "

" Considering that the devil actually suffered a setback, I won't complain about why you manage to bump into strange experts just by going out for a walk. "

Elaine sighed,

" Simply put, Uriel is another name for the Archangel Uriel——you should know Uriel, right? "

No matter what, Qi Xing still knew this name.

Uriel was the name of an Archangel (Great Angel) in the belief system of Christianity.

But it was not included in the canonical books and was not officially recognized by the Roman Church——the Roman Curia only recognized the other three more famous Archangels.

However, in the Church of England, as well as in the Eastern Rite churches, Uriel was still revered as the fourth Archangel.

Why was this?

Perhaps because Uriel was the Angel of Death, the Angel responsible for the End, the Angel in charge of destruction, and the most feared among all Seraphim.

In ancient literature, Uriel once held a flaming holy sword to guard the entrance to the Garden of Eden, exposing the conspiracies of evildoers and devils.

He also warned Noah that God was angered by humans and was about to bring down a flood.

At the same time, he also controlled the fires of the underworld and the keys, responsible for opening the gates of the underworld on Judgment Day and executing fire penalties on sinful people.

The famous Sodom, the miraculous city of licentiousness and adultery, was said to have been burned down by Uriel.

" Didn't I just transfer to the Eastern Rite Church (ECC) recently? "

Elaine explained further,

" Churches in different regions have different traditions.

The Coptic Church in Egypt has used the Eastern Rite since ancient times.

They have a very ancient legend that goes like this——after the Son of God died on the cross, it was the Archangel Uriel who took the Holy Grail filled with the Son of God's blood, flew all over the world, and used the Holy Grail to wash away original sin for all mankind. "

" If Michael, the leader of the Heavenly Host, is the guardian angel of the Holy Mother, then Uriel, the Angel of Death, is the guardian angel of the Son of God himself. "

The Angel of Death, the Angel of the End…

So that was it.

Qi Xing now somewhat understood why Samael was so afraid…

" Are there any more intense unofficial histories? "

This time it was finally Elaine's turn to hesitate.

She searched and brewed in her mind for a while, and finally decided to say it: " Archangel Uriel also has some less orthodox beliefs. "

" For example, the Yazidism that has become famous in the last decade believes that Christ——called Sheikh Shamsi-Din in their faith——is exactly the reincarnation of the Archangel Uriel, that is… the reincarnation of Uriel. "

Holy crap.

" Yazidis believe that when the end of the world comes, Sheikh Shamsi-Din will judge all things in the world.

Only the Kurds will escape the catastrophe because of the protection of the Peacock Angel. "

Elaine continued.

So Qi Xing also took the opportunity to ask: " What is the Peacock Angel? "

" The Peacock Angel is the one in Yazidism mythology who, because of attempting to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Father, was defeated by his own brother Uriel… "

When Elaine said this, although she couldn't see Samael's projection, she still vaguely guessed the position and pointed toward the glass,

" That is, what is called Satan in the Abrahamic religions. "

Alright.

Now Qi Xing completely understood why Sasa was so afraid.

This was really reasonable.

And he also vaguely guessed who that delinquent girl from earlier was.

After all, looking at Aomori, there was only one person who could be related to Christ.

065: Can't Even Keep Up the Character Setting Anymore

Yazidism is an ancient and unique religion with a total of about 1.5 million believers, the vast majority distributed in northern Iraq, with a small number distributed in Armenia, Germany, Russia, and other places.

These believers call themselves Izidi, meaning [ People who worship angels ].

Because although they believe in a unique God, they are different from traditional monotheistic religions; the objects of their worship are not the Supreme God, but the seven Seraphim under the throne of God.

The two most important angels are called [ Peacock King (Melek Taus) ] and [ Sun King (Uriel) ].

Similar to the tradition of Christianity, this [ Peacock Angel ] attempted to challenge the authority of the highest Heavenly Father, but ended up being brutally beaten by his own brother, the Archangel Uriel.

And this Archangel, the Sun King, the Yazidis believe is the Son of God in Christianity.

By the way, in addition, Yazidis also believe in reincarnation, calling it [ Soul Changing Clothes ], and believe that the seven Seraphim will periodically reincarnate as humans.

" Why would anyone worship a fallen angel who failed to rebel and was brutally beaten? "

Honestly, Qi Xing couldn't really understand this part.

" Because according to the doctrine of Yazidism, Uriel will eventually forgive the arrogance and insolence of this younger sister, allowing her to lead her people back to heaven. "

Elaine said this, and even glanced at the glass, even though she couldn't actually see Samael,

" According to their prophecies passed down from generation to generation, when the [ Peacock Angel ] has shed enough tears to fill seven jars after 7,000 years of asceticism and reflection, she can pour the jars into hell, extinguishing the flames of hell, representing forgiveness and redemption. "

At the same time, Sasa's shadow was shrinking on the table, in a state of severe depression.

" Seven thousand years? I'm afraid that will be a long wait. "

Qi Xing frowned,

" Where are the jars? Should I go spank her butt to make her cry more? "

Yikes, is that something a human would do?

" Qi Xing, please don't take all these variant quasi-Christian beliefs too seriously. "
