Inch of Radiance Vol 2 Chapter 8.1

Book 2 Chapter 8.1 – A Nice Surprise

“Sheep that has lost his way, separate yourselves from those who have sinned. The Lord will grant you forgiveness!” A warm voice rang out from within a Manhattan alley.

Tian Gang immediately furrowed his eyebrows, and the his muscles began to stretch taut. His internal qi began to madly circulate, and he carefully looked at the two people in front of him. There were two males, and one of them was dressed in white, while the other wore black. Tian Gang could tell whether or not they were from the underground world with just a single glance, and this black-clad male was a deacon from the Church’s Court of Judgment, and the white clad male should be a priest of the Church who was second only to a Bishop.

What made Tian Gang the most helpless was that the black-clad male was a special deacon, and he clearly wasn’t this deacon’s match. The wound on his body inflicted by holy force was proof of his opponent’s strength. If it wasn’t because of his mysterious chinese movement technique, it would have been impossible for Tian Gang to run all the way here. However, the disparity in strength was too big, and moreover there were two who chased after him, and so he was still blocked in the end.”

“Mister, there is no need for you to sacrifice yourself for us. These executioners from the Church don’t have a single shred of humanity.” A mixed-ethnicity woman walked beside Tian Gang, and her right hand formed a wolf claw. “Mister, as long as you bring my younger brother with you, then everything will be fine. My younger brother has not awakened yet, and does not possess any strength. Now that mother died, our hatred can only be justified by father. Mister, please send my younger brother back to China, whether or not he could find father would depend on the heavens!” The mixed woman spoke pure mandarin, and her younger brother looked as if he was completely Chinese. Other than having a slight brown color in her hair, she did not look much different from a Chinese person either.

Tian Gang looked at the mixed girl, and his expression became even more firm. He moved his body in front of the girl’s, and directly looked at the two people in front of him. There was an ominous glint within his eyes, and cursed in an overcast manner. “Church dogs!”

That black-clad male had a cold expression on his face, and said in a grim voice, “Since you are willingly allowing yourself to fall to such a level, then receive G.o.d’s judgment!”

Yet Tian Gang had already taken action, and his body was like the wind. The qi within his body completely gathered at his right leg. Hu! The strength of both his qi and his muscles immediately erupted, and the air was immediately compressed, releasing a wind kick towards the black-clad male.

Hong!

It looked extremely similar to the wind kick that Li Yang shot towards that arena pillar, and Tian Gang’s wind kick bombarded into the body of that black-clad male. However, the white-colored holy force surged, and immediately wrapped itself around his body. The explosion created from the wind kick did not harm the black-clad male in the slightest.

“Drop dead!” When the black-clad male had just blocked the explosion created from the wind kick, Tian Gang’s right leg had already supported a powerful force, and his entire body’s qi blasted towards the black-clad male.

At the same time, the white-clad priest’s holy force also began to surge, and rays after rays of holy force shot towards the mixed girl. The mixed girl also only awakened recently, and did not know how to use the power within her body. In addition, holy force specialized in restricted dark creatures like her, and so the mixed girl was in an extremely difficult predicament.

“Ah!” A stream of Holy Force shot towards the mixed girl, and along with a zizi sound, the mixed girl’s abdomen was immediately burnt black.

When Tian Gang, who was using the Underground Boxing Arena’s Death Leg Technique, heard that shout, he immediately felt anxious within his heart. The black-clad male immediately took advantage of the moment when Tian Gang became distracted, and his holy force immediately reached its peak. His hand formed a fist, and used his powerful holy force to ruthlessly smash into Tian Gang’s chest. Tian Gang’s internal qi automatically moved to protect his chest, however, Tian Gang’s original strength was already a few levels below this special deacon’s. Although the qi prevented Tian Gang from dying on the spot, the attack still caused him to fly into the air.

“Evil spirit, receive the cleansing of G.o.d!” The special deacon’s face revealed a flash of cold light, and spoke with a divine voice. His hands immediately formed a pike created from holy force, and ferociously stabbed towards Tian Gang.

“Could it be that the first person I liked would result in this type of conclusion?” Tian Gang’s face had a bitter smile on it.

Ah!

A fearful cry suddenly rang out, and Tian Gang looked at the scene in front of him with a dumbstruck expression. The unbridled and aggressive special deacon unexpectedly… unexpectedly died. That special deacon’s head was still rolling on the floor, and the wide and round eyes revealed a unreconciled and fearful expression.

Li Yang smiled as he stood in front of Tian Gang. Just now, he had used the Escape Technique to appear right behind the special deacon, and then he formed a qi blade. A qi blade formed from Xiantian qi surrounded his hand, and with a slash, the completely unprepared special deacon was immediately beheaded just like that.

“Right, there’s still you!” Li Yang’s figure flashed, and easily appeared beside the white-clad priest. The white-clad’s close combat ability was incredibly weak, and he could only fire long ranged attacks behind the protection of another. With Li Yang’s speed, the white-clad priest, whose strength was even weaker that Tian Gang’s, had absolutely no time to escape.

Peng!

With a clean and efficient kick, the white-clad priest’s chest immediately caved in strangely.

‘Tian Gang, how are you? Don’t tell me that you died, right?!” Li Yang looked at the foolish Tian Gang, and was slightly making fun of him as he spoke.

Tian Gang stared blankly. For Li Yang to kill those two, it all happened in a breath’s time. Tian Gang still felt as if it wasn’t quite real, as it was obvious that he was just about to die, but instead, the enemy died. His hesitation within life and death made him receive a direct attack just now.

“Tian Gang, you still don’t have a villa yet, so these two sister and brother werewolves should just live at my place!” Li Yang looked at the woman and youngster that Tian Gang was protecting, and immediately saw that these two had chinese bloodlines. However, he noticed that these two siblings were both werewolves, only that the sister had already awoken, and the younger brother hadn’t awoken yet.

“Thank you. Currently, my strength is still not sufficient to protect them, and it would be better to have them under your wing. In fact… I only met them for thirty minutes!” Tian Gang’s words were a bit shocking.

Li Yang could not help but be startled. He saw that Tian Gang was doing his utmost to help these siblings, and thought that the girl had some kind of deep relationship with Tian Gang! Only for that reason did he allow the two to live at his place, after all, he still had a favorable impression of Tian Gang. However, after seeing that the siblings were both Chinese, Li Yang wouldn’t just do nothing either.

“You two should just live at my place for now then. At my place, the Church’s people won’t be able to find you guys!” Li Yang smiled as he spoke.

The siblings looked at Li Yang, and they couldn’t help but repeatedly bow their heads as they continuously said, “Thank you!”

…

After seeing that the two were at ease after settling down, Tian Gang received a bit of treatment under Li Yang’s Xiantian qi. He was about to leave, and Li Yang also stood up as he saw him off.

Villa entrance.

“Right, you only knew them for thirty minutes, yet you tried so hard for them?” After seeing that the previously cold Tian Gang suddenly do something like this, Li Yang couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.

Tian Gang’s face flashed with a blushing red, and then returned to his usual unfeeling expression after. Tian Gang looked towards Li Yang, and bluntly said, “Am I not allowed to fall in love at first sight?”

When Li Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but be stunned as his mouth widened. Love at first sight? The cold and arrogant Tian Gang could fall in love at first sight?

“Mu Yi, you can’t chase after her!” Tian Gang spoke with a strong tone, and after saying that, he left. As Li Yang looked at Tian Gang’s disappearing figure, his eyes blinked a few times. “Me chasing her? This…”

Just when Li Yang thought that it was extremely hilarious, suddenly Li Yang’s expression changed, and he muttered, “Tonight really was quite unusual. Cow ghosts and snake deities have appeared!” (PR note: This is an idiom meaning something like all the monsters really came out tonight) Li Yang’s figure flashed, as if he was simply tobacco smoke, he left the villa and entered the heavy night.
