More than ten minutes later, the four of them reached the junction between Section 3 and Section 4 . This place was significantly different from the other sections as a towering metal wall was used to separate the two sections . There were guards standing at each entry . Those guards had the same weapons with the patrol, the Anti-gravity Launching Devices, but they had a different type of shield . The patrols only had normal metal shields while the guards here had anti-gravity ones .

[Name: Anti-gravity Shield]

[Type: Defensive]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Defending Ability: Medium]

[Attributes: reduce the power of the impact]

[Special Effects: None]

[Equipment Conditions: Fighting Specialty F, level 10]

[Remarks: This shield can control a volume of less than 1 cubic meter; can stop flying objects which is lighter than 25 kilograms, i . e . , an incoming baseball or falling luggage . But if someone throws you a fridge or in close combat, this shield will function as a normal metal shield . ]

"All right, Miss Molly, you can go now . "

The moment they were around one street away from the wall, Feng Bujue suddenly stopped and spoke up, "For your safety, from now on, you should stay away from us . "

Although Molly stopped, she didn't give up; she continued her attempt to persuade Hank to come back . "Hank, you should think about what he said… Darwin, the theory of evolution, freedom… those are the craziest things we’ve ever heard in our life . They are just the theories of the heathens . They’ve fooled you…"

"Thanks, Miss Molly," answered Hank . "If I leave and never come back, please tell my mom I’m sorry . "

Molly was dumbstruck as she stood still on the spot, her eyes staring at Hank who then turned around and left . The other three didn’t say anything further to her as they walked towards the checkpoint in front of an entry . Feng Bujue and Wild Trace Sword Shadow tore off their protection suits while walking forward .

Wild Trace Sword Shadow took out the Anti-gravity Launching Device taken from Hank and gave it back to him . "We’ll try our best to back you up . But you better keep a weapon; it is much safer . "

"Don’t worry, Hank," Feng Bujue said, "such guards who don’t do anything else but guarding the year round, if compare to a collector who has to fight against mutant monsters daily, their fighting skills are not the same level with yours . If only you aren’t afraid, nothing to be worried about then . " He paused then continued, "Later when we cross the wall, we’ll go straight to the Shrine, stay close . "

"I will do my best . " Hank nodded .

While they were still talking, they approached the checkpoint .

The guards on duty there were surprised . They all saw Feng Bujue and Wild Trace Sword Shadow but no one took action . They were still thinking… Perhaps these two are the legendary ‘outlanders’ . However, since they had never met one before, and what they knew was just the brainwashing knowledge from propagandas, they felt reluctant seeing the real deal .

And, the boy coming together with the two uninvited visitors, according to his costume, was a guy from Section 1, the same village . But he was holding a weapon, and he looked like he wanted to risk his life this time with them… Do they want to forcefully enter the consecrators’ area with arms?

All guards were shocked . However, their captain looked relatively calm . He didn't mind that and instead raised his Anti-gravity Shield to stop the trio . Using the most-threatening voice he could make, he shouted, "Stop! What are you up to?" He glared at Feng Bujue and Wild Trace Sword Shadow . "You two, why are you wearing such strange clothes? Who are you?" Then he shifted to Hank . "And you, why are you holding a weapon?"

The other three kept silent .

Seconds later, Hank smiled . "Until yesterday, even if I didn’t do anything wrong, when a patrol stopped me and asked something, I was shaking in fear . " He shook his head . "But now, facing a captain of the guards, I feel nothing dangerous . Ha ha… I got it… Turns out this is what the Cobains have given us . "

"You dare to call the name of the Son of God?" The captain was stupefied as he gazed at Hank .

"If I think he’s the Son of God, of course, I won’t dare to call his name," said Hank . "But if I deem him a turd, I can call him whatever I want . "

"What did you say! You talked of blasphemy!" The captain hissed . "Take him!"

Seven or eight guards stormed forward together .

Then, Wild Trace Sword Shadow took action .

It was just roughly ten seconds, together with the sound of punching, screaming and screeching, and all the guards fell . They weren’t hit until they went unconscious as they were just rolling and whining on the ground, unable to get on their feet .

Wild Trace Sword Shadow didn't even use his sword . He didn’t want to kill people without a purpose . Among the two of them, with his capacity, it wasn’t much to clean up those people .

"Wow… You’re so cool . Not using any skill but you can still do this…" said Feng Bujue .

"They’re just too weak," answered Wild Trace Sword Shadow . "Their reflexes are even slower than ordinary people . From the game point of view, they’re even 30% weaker than a player at level 1 . And I, I’m a professional gamer at level 17 . It’s not much for a compliment . " Since Hank and the captain couldn't understand their conversation, they didn’t worry about anything while speaking to each other .

At this moment, the captain was petrified as he was filled with shock and helplessness, like they just got an alien attack .

In fact, usually, those guards didn’t have many jobs to do . In such a small place like the Deity Guarded Village, together with a strict legal system, there were not many people who committed crimes, and the ones who had the guts to break the rules of the superior echelon were rare throughout hundreds of years .

Moreover, basically, the patrols took care of social security while the guards only protected the consecrators’ and the Cobains’ houses . It could be said that the practical fighting ability of the guards was close to nonexistent . As long as they guarded at the foot of this wall, they had never met even one careless wanderer . Today, all of a sudden, there were three intruders who just needed ten seconds to beat them up into pulp . It should be normal if the captain had such a reaction .

"Throw the Anti-gravity Launching Weapon too . " Feng Bujue came in front of the captain .

The captain then gulped as he wisely chose to follow his command . He threw the weapon on his hands aside .

Feng Bujue looked at the ashened face of the captain, smiled and patted him on the shoulder . "Why so serious? Smile for me . "

The guard captain looked at the ‘friendly’ man in front of him, then squeezed a smile on his face .

The three of them then calmly walked forward, passed the captain to enter the door, then headed to Section 4 behind the wall .

The captain was dumbfounded . Dozens of seconds later, he collapsed, panting like he got asthma bursting out . Villagers started to gather on the streets of Section 3, boisterously discussing . Even if some of them had witnessed the current event, perhaps they wouldn’t understand the situation .

Two minutes later, the captain was like he just woke up from a dream . He shot up and screamed with a terrified face, "Outlanders! Outlanders are intruding!"
