Chapter 93 The Great Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect is killed!
Chang Yuan was the team leader, and Gao Su had no choice but to obey his decision.
Chang Yuan lowered his body, kept close to the ground, and ran at high speed without any concealment, covering nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
The Grand Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect was shot six times. Although they were not Yangyan bullets, they destroyed his protective treasures and triggered a substitution technique.
Death made the Great Protector realize that Chang Yuanlai was not a benevolent person.
He dared not hide any longer, nor did he dare wait for the domain to impose its own prohibitions.
The Great Protector raised his right hand, releasing powerful evil energy, manipulating the Heavenly Laws to manifest as dark golden characters, which then evolved into chains that wrapped around Chang Yuan.
The Great Protector laughed arrogantly, "Heh heh, since you've walked right into our trap, let me show you what justice is!"
"First prohibition: Attacking scholars of Neo-Confucianism is forbidden!"
"Second prohibition: No charging!"
"Third Prohibition: No Weapons!"
"Fourth Prohibition: Spellcasting is forbidden!"
"Fifth Prohibition: Controlling Qi is Forbidden!"
"Sixth Prohibition: Escape is prohibited!"
Six key prohibitions bound Chang Yuan's mind, attempting to seal off his spirituality.
If any other superhuman were subjected to such a mental attack, they would be instantly affected, their minds would be controlled, and they would be helpless lambs to the slaughter.
But Chang Yuan was different. The entry "Eating Qi" shone brightly, breaking down all six forbidden rules into spiritual energy, which became his spiritual energy reserves.
When the Great Protector witnessed the dark golden chains of restraint collapsing, his first thought was: This is impossible!
My second thought was: God, have you abandoned me?
His decades-old, deeply ingrained faith nearly collapsed, and the Great Protector was plunged into a state of self-doubt and stagnation.
"Now!"
Chang Yuan seized the fleeting opening, lowered his body abruptly, and charged forward.
He surged forward wildly in the domain, and even without his master's control, he was still subjected to the frenzied impact of the forbidden rules.
No matter how many times the "Spirit Eater" decomposes the forbidden clauses, the next moment a cold whisper will still ring in his ear, trying to tamper with his will, make him stop, put down his weapon, give up the fight, and give up his independent will.
This is the most terrifying place in the realm of Heavenly Principles, where the relentless mental assault constantly shakes people's thoughts and undermines their will to fight.
Chang Yuan clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his temples, and stubbornly withstood the mental erosion.
He stopped when he had advanced to 55 meters, which is the maximum range of Jin Yang's revolver, and reloaded the Yangyan bullets.
Then Jin Yang raised his revolver, aimed the muzzle at the Heavenly Principle Sect's Great Protector's forehead, and immediately pulled the trigger!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The Great Protector was already in a slump, and now being bombarded at close range, he had no time to dodge.
The golden bullet instantly pierced the Great Protector's forehead, and blood splattered from the back of his head, blooming into a dazzling brain flower.
Just as the brain was at its most brilliant, the Great Protector's body suddenly blurred, the splattered blood and fragments flew back automatically, and the wounds were filled again, restoring him to his original state.
Paradoxical substitution technique!
Based on Zhu Xi's statement that "before there was heaven and earth, there was only principle. With this principle, there is heaven and earth; without this principle, there is neither heaven and earth, nor people and things," it is explained as a logical denial of reality, forming the paradoxical law of "principle precedes reality."
Then, using the power of the evil god, the paradox was manifested in the world, denying the reality of the Great Protector being killed by a headshot, thereby overturning the rules of the world and erasing a death event.
Chang Yuan encountered the Blood Spirit Cult's human skin substitution technique during his first battle with a cult, but he was already used to it.
His expression remained unchanged as he continued firing his Golden Sun Revolver, aiming at the vital spot between the eyebrows of the targeted Grand Protector.
Each time the Great Protector escaped death, another Yangyan Bullet would pierce his forehead and blow his head open.
Then the paradoxical substitution technique takes effect, negating the death that just occurred and pulling the Great Protector back to the mortal world.
It is said that there is great terror between life and death.
The Great Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect repeatedly tumbled between life and death, naturally enduring the greatest terror in the world.
At the same time, his faith had just been shaken by Chang Yuan, and he could no longer find protection from the evil god, suffering all kinds of horrific harm.
The Great Protector's soul was repeatedly cleansed by fear between life and death, gradually returning to the state of an infant. The spells he cast went completely out of control, and the realm of Heavenly Law also began to descend into chaos.
Gao Su, who was responsible for providing support from afar but had not actually played a significant role, finally seized his opportunity.
He charged forward at full speed, quickly reaching Chang Yuan's side, where he stood firmly and raised his gun.
The next instant, gunfire erupted!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A hail of bullets struck the Great Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect, forcing him to retreat step by step, his body flashing with magical light.
Chang Yuan laughed heartily: "Alright, you hit his body, I'll hit his forehead, let's see how many deaths the Paradoxical Substitute Death Technique can erase!"
Gao Su excitedly replied, "Yes, Captain!"
Actually, it wasn't that many times; it might have been twelve or fourteen. Chang Yuan didn't count carefully, and neither did Gao Su.
Just as the Yangyan bullet pierced the Great Protector's forehead again, he, who had returned to his infantile state, showed a look of fear.
That is the fear that naturally arises when one discovers that they are about to die.
But in the end, it wasn't Chang Yuan who sent the Great Protector away; he unfortunately emptied his ammunition magazine, giving the opportunity to Gao Su.
boom! boom! boom!
Three loud bangs followed, and the bullet pierced through the chest, tearing apart the lungs and heart.
The Great Protector froze, the magical light around him went out, and the Heavenly Principle Domain shattered like broken glass.
He looked down at the three bloody holes in his chest, opened his mouth as if to say something, but the wound made a "whooshing" sound as air leaked out.
He then collapsed to the ground and died instantly.
Gao Su stood there holding the gun for a moment before reacting and quickly stepped forward to carefully check if the person was truly dead.
After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "...It's resolved."
By eliminating this cultist who was skilled in spiritual arts, they no longer needed to worry about their families, and there would be no risk of their entire family being wiped out at any time.
A moment later, Gao Su burst into laughter: "Hey, Captain, we've taken down the Grand Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect..."
"I am a captain in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he is the Grand Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect... Unbelievable..."
"Wouldn't this be considered a scenario in novels where someone defeats an enemy of a higher level?"
Chang Yuan loaded the bullet steadily, replying with a smile, "Yes, of course it counts!"
"And it wasn't just the Grand Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect, but also the Grand Protector and Founding Master of the White Lotus Sect; we took down two of them!"
Gao Su was taken aback: "Captain, you took that down all by yourself."
Chang Yuan: "We both came in together, so all the achievements belong to both of us, understand?"
Gao Su's eyes instantly reddened: "Yes! The victory is ours!"
For 24-year-old Gao Su, this achievement was of great importance. It not only allowed him to be promoted to the rank of centurion immediately, but also gave him the opportunity to surpass centurion and be promoted to commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief in the future.
For Chang Yuan, however, this achievement seemed rather meaningless.
He was too young; at only 20 years old, he had already become a centurion through his accumulated merits.
The requirement for further promotion is not merit, but other hard qualifications.
He needs to accumulate experience and gradually rise through the ranks to become a senior officer and then a powerful officer.
Alternatively, one can wait for a position to become vacant, such as a centurion, deputy centurion, or centurion, and then compete fiercely to rise to the top.
Therefore, meritorious service was not important to Chang Yuan.
