Just using a bit of brainpower and it’s clear, if the God Defiler consumes faith as sustenance, then unless he is particularly picky, all forms of faith should be useful to him.
According to the snippets of information revealed by Wu Liugen before, his status within Buddhism must be quite high, and many monks worship him as a deity.
This means that Wu Liugen, just like those Crosses, is steeped in the Power of Faith!
It may even be that because Wu Liugen is the object of worship, the Power of Faith within him is more precious to those cicadas than that residing in the Crosses!
The same logic applies to Wen Wen as well.
Wen Wen had also been worshipped by those Ore Ghosts; although the amount of faith couldn’t compare with Wu Liugen’s, he was also a recipient of worship.
Besides, who knows if the Sanctuary has received worship, and whether those powers of faith are on Wen Wen.
Therefore, this pursuit by the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy was squarely aimed at Wen Wen himself!
Having understood this, Wen Wen fled with even more effort; he certainly did not want to be consumed by this thing like milk tea drained completely.
Both of them were extremely fast, and in two to three minutes, they had already left the city limits and arrived at a wasteland dotted with low hills.
As he was fleeing, Wen Wen suddenly heard a ’bang!’ that was like a bird crashing into glass, but the sound was many times louder—it was the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy that had hit something!
Wen Wen teleported another hundred meters before turning around warily, and then he saw countless blue cracks materializing out of thin air in front of the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy.
The cracks grew larger and larger until, like glass, they fell to the ground and disappeared, revealing an invisible Barrier!
A man dressed in a blue robe with a stylish little mustache and mysterious blue Runes over his body floated down from the sky, looking like a deity that had descended to earth.
He was a True Order Master—a Barrier Master!
Upon seeing the Barrier Master, Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and shouted out, "Hey, big guy, look here! If you don’t come soon, I’m going to be torn apart by this thing."
The Barrier Master nodded his head, feeling somewhat relieved inside; it was fortunate that he had arrived on time.
The two of them were too fast; if the Barrier Master hadn’t happened to be nearby, there might have been no way to intervene.
Because his Speed wasn’t as fast as these two...
However, naturally, the Barrier Master would not admit such things that might affect his image; he looked at the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy with surprise and said, "I had thought that among these blue cicadas, there were only the common varieties; I didn’t expect a True Order Rank Monster to appear."
"It seems the trouble caused by those from Glory Church is not minor; no wonder they’re taking it so seriously."
After that, the Barrier Master stroked his handsome mustache appreciatively and cast an approving look at Wen Wen.
This kid, truly had potential!
When he had first seen Wen Wen single-handedly battle Xiuluman for so long, he had already been greatly surprised.
Now, facing a True Order Monster alone and using such astonishing Speed to flee, he was even more impressed.
Such talent was extremely rare, even among the upper echelon Superpower Users of the Hunter Association.
It’s just a pity that Wen Wen had previously gone to Hunter Island and did not become a True Order at Jianzhen Spring; otherwise, the Hunter Association would have gained another pillar of strength.
Just as he was dwelling on these thoughts, a blue figure suddenly appeared over the head of the Barrier Master.
The Blue Cicada Holy Envoy clenched its four hands into a massive fist and slammed it down onto the top of the Barrier Master’s head, sending him crashing to the ground like a fallen meteor, creating a huge crater on impact.
Wen Wen covered his eyes, unable to bear the sight, wondering if his powerful reinforcement had just been killed...
Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared before Wen Wen, and the Barrier Master reappeared in front of him, seemingly unharmed.
The Barrier Master turned around and comforted Wen Wen, "Don’t worry, I was just careless for a moment. I didn’t expect that beast to be so fast..."
When Wen Wen saw the Barrier Master’s face, he immediately turned his head away expressionlessly.
The Barrier Master was there to save him, so laughing out loud at that moment would have been quite impolite.
And it might result in getting hit...
Only one of the Barrier Master’s neatly groomed mustaches remained, the other having disappeared.
He used to be able to boast about having four eyebrows, but now he might only claim to have three.
On the Barrier Master’s body, there had always been a barrier that perfectly conformed to his own form, a barrier strong enough to withstand several attacks from an average True-order Master. That’s why he had felt so fearless.
But he was grooming his mustache when he got hit earlier.
Startled, he had pulled too hard and accidentally tore off his own mustache.
The Barrier Master, sensing something off about Wen Wen, looked at the strand of mustache in his palm and then touched the place where his mustache used to be...
Two seconds later, the Barrier Master turned his head coldly, looking at the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy.
Murderous intent boiled within him!
"I groom this mustache every morning when I wake up, and it’s been thirty years..."
"I don’t have children; this mustache is like my child..."
"You’ve destroyed thirty years of my effort..."
Wen Wen hid behind the Barrier Master, secretly cheering him on. The stronger the Barrier Master’s killing intent, the safer he felt.
The Blue Cicada Holy Envoy couldn’t understand what the Barrier Master was saying and didn’t want to. It just wanted to capture Wen Wen.
Its wings hummed behind it, and blue flames erupted from the joints of its body. An oppressive aura circulated around it, as if the space itself had solidified.
Wen Wen shrunk further behind the Barrier Master, the only place he felt safe.
"Don’t worry, it can’t hurt you, and... it’s as good as dead," the Barrier Master reassured.
The Barrier Master enclosed the plucked mustache in a small barrier and placed it inside his chest, then a mysterious barrier with light purple runes appeared out of nowhere, enveloping both him and Wen Wen.
He wasn’t afraid of the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy, but Wen Wen was vulnerable; the barrier could ensure Wen Wen’s safety to the greatest extent.
Barriers set by the Barrier Master could cover an entire small city. Wen Wen couldn’t even imagine how strong a small spherical barrier condensed to a diameter of only five meters could be.
But once safe, Wen Wen’s mind began to wander.
Inappropriately, he asked, "Boss, isn’t your barrier always blue?"
The Barrier Master’s hand trembled slightly as he replied nonchalantly, "Color is just superficial; you need to pay attention to the differences inside."
Wen Wen nodded, pretending to understand. The Barrier Master was not only a Grandmaster of Enchantment but also a Rune Master, so his words must have a deeper meaning.
However, he was unaware that the Barrier Master had chosen a different color simply because he saw the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy was blue, and therefore didn’t want to use a blue barrier...
It was the same feeling as those who didn’t want to wear the same outfit as someone else.
