Li Muchen walked out of the crowd on the shore and walked slowly onto the trestle.
James heard the sound, stopped singing, and turned around.
The two stood opposite each other, separated by a long trestle.
The people on the shore were stung by the light of the huge sun on the sea, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes.
Most of them didn't know Li Muchen, they just saw him as a stranger. If he wasn't from Kowloon Island, then where did he come from?
One is a wicked man who was drowned in the sea, but got the protection of God and came back to life again. The other is a foreigner who threatened to kill this reborn spokesman of God.
Some of the islanders clapped their hands and applauded, while others murmured in their hearts.
In the dazzling sunlight, they only saw two black shadows and golden outlines. For a moment, they could not tell who was the devil and who was the messenger of God.
On the other hand, the people on the execution boat looked over from that direction and saw Li Muchen with the sun shining directly on him, full of light and righteousness.
Ning Fengquan was overjoyed. People on Kowloon Island could not break the ancestral rules, but Li Muchen did not need to abide by them. He stood up. Now, James was dead.
Of course, he still wondered in his heart, how did James survive? Was it really the Poseidon who protected him from death?
James also saw Li Muchen from the front.
This was an unfamiliar face, he had never seen it before.
He asked curiously: "Who are you?"
"The people who came to kill you." Li Muchen said calmly.
James raised his hand and gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers. He still looked so elegant and gentle.
"I am God's chosen one. You see, I survived being sunk in the sea for a day and a night," he said.
"So what?"
"You can't kill a person chosen by God, God will be displeased."
"So what?"
James was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the guy opposite would repeat the same sentence, but it happened to be quite weighty, forcing him to respond.
"If God is unhappy, he will let fire burn the world, and the world will become hell."
He said this in a loud voice, obviously wanting the islanders on the shore to hear it.
The islanders were indeed a little scared.
Li Muchen sneered and said: "Haha, then your god has a really bad temper. It's okay not to worship a god with such a bad temper."
James shook his head, opened his arms and shouted: "God, forgive his ignorance! Look at him, how pitiful he is!"
The sunlight became even more dazzling as he shouted.
Li Muchen looked past James and towards the distant sea.
James took off the cross from his chest and held it high above his head.
Seen from a distance, the sun is just above the cross, as if he lifted the entire sun with the cross.
Then, his cross gave off light in the sunlight.
"I am God's people, you can't kill me!"
Following his words, the light on the cross flowed down like a waterfall, covering James.
With the sun above your head and the flowing light covering your body, it's really like the presence of God.
The people on the shore were in a commotion.
Some were amazed, some were afraid, and some even worshiped devoutly, calling God's name with their mouths.
"You can't kill me."
James's voice came from the light curtain.
"I am the messenger of God! You must respect me, love me, and obey my orders! You must dress neatly, open your mind, and follow my footsteps! I will lead you to break through the barriers of darkness. The light will shine on you and wash your eyes.
Cleanse the dirt and sins from your bodies and accept God’s redemption…”
His voice is so peaceful and ethereal that it goes straight into people's hearts.
At this moment, all the islanders could see was the giant sun in the sky and the god-like James in the dazzling light.
People knelt down one after another and prayed devoutly.
Even Sister Mei, who was standing in the crowd, had the urge to follow James.
Only Ji Guanglai and Ning Fengquan were not affected because of their profound cultivation and condensed souls. But when they saw what happened to James, they were also deeply shocked.
In the whole world of light, the only disharmonious thing is that Li Muchen on the trestle is still a black shadow.
It was as if God was coming and he was the devil.
Li Muchen sneered: "I have always been curious about how you managed to survive a day and a night at the bottom of the sea without any cultivation. Now I understand that it is the cross in your hand. I have to say that your Western sect also has something.
Especially the art of summoning. It’s a pity that you don’t follow the right path, and you only do evil in the name of God, which is even more hateful than the devil! Today, I will do justice for heaven!”
After saying that, he raised his palm as a sword and slashed with a diagonal motion.
The space on the trestle suddenly flickered.
The void cracked and the light broke.
The waterfall of light on James was cut off at that moment.
The light on the cross gradually went out.
It seems that there is a mysterious force that pulls people back from the hallucination.
The sun in the distance is no longer so huge, the sunlight is not so dazzling, and the ocean and sky are back.
A few seabirds soared on the sea, and the wind blew the waves, gently lapping against the rocks.
James, a slender man in a suit, stood at the end of the trestle, holding a cross and staring blankly at Li Muchen, with an incredible expression on his face.
"You...how did you do it?"
"No! Impossible! You are the devil!"
"O God!" James lifted the cross higher and shouted, "Give me light and strength!"
But no matter how much he shouted or prayed, the cross no longer glowed.
James was a little anxious, and kept putting down the cross and raising it again. The buttons on his suit fell apart during this movement, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose were also crooked.
This kind of James is no longer like a messenger of God, nor a gentle gentleman, but more like a clown, dancing an ugly dance at the end of the seaside trestle.
The islanders on the shore all woke up and were glad that they were not completely lost just now. Of course they knew that it was the strange foreigner who helped them and prevented them from being deceived by the devil and sinking.
As a result, everyone hated James even more.
"Kill him!" someone shouted.
Then a group of people shouted: "Kill him!"
Along the entire coastline, there were voices of "kill him" one after another.
"Did you hear it? The voice of the masses!" Li Muchen said.
James was a little desperate, but he still didn't give up. He was still trying to use the cross to communicate with his spirit.
"No, you ignorant Easterners! You will be punished by God! You devil, you can't kill me! God will stop you!" James shouted.
Li Muchen was indifferent, not even bothering to look at him, and looked towards the distant sea, where there were a few dark figures approaching.
James finally gave up and put down the cross in frustration.
The black shadow on the sea in the distance came closer, and the rumbling sound of the motor was carried by the sea breeze.
James suddenly turned around and saw the boats approaching at high speed, and stood up excitedly.
"Here it comes! My God! I said, God will come to save me!" His face regained his pride, pointing at Li Muchen and saying, "You devil, God will make you pay the price!"
"Do you know why I haven't killed you yet?" Li Muchen sneered, "Because I'm waiting for now. Open your dog eyes and take a good look to see if your god can save you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and shook James in the air.
James seemed to have been grabbed by the throat, his body floated up, swung off the trestle, and floated on the sea.
He covered his neck with both hands, his eyes widened in horror, and he kept tapping his feet.
The cross fell from his hands and fell into the sea.
Then, in full view of everyone, James' body exploded with a bang, like a crushed tomato, and the bloody pieces fell into the sea, leaving only some red mist floating in the sea breeze.
The ship in the distance stopped.
Apparently, people on the boat saw this scene.
The sea suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that even the sea breeze stopped blowing.
The sea water turned into a mirror.
It was quiet for a moment, and people suddenly found that the sun on the sea became brighter again.
This time, it was much brighter than when James raised the cross.
Then, people saw a shadow flying from the ship, spreading its wings in the huge sun.
I don’t know why, but a word suddenly popped up in Ning Fengquan’s mind: “Seraph!”
