Chapter 301: Battle Against the Chief Judge
"That aura confronting Master, could it be the Pope? But how did Master end up clashing with him?" Luo Yexi muttered.
"Senior Sister Shui Yunyue, are you planning to go home now, or do you have other intentions?" Luo Yexi asked, looking at Shui Yunyue beside her.
"Well, I don't know if anyone else besides the Holy See might come after me. I wonder if Junior Sister Luo Yexi could protect me for a while?" Shui Yunyue pondered for a moment before saying.
"Alright, let's go take a look at the battlefield over there." Luo Yexi nodded, then led her toward the direction where the two auras were rising.
At this moment, in another battlefield, two people were confronting each other, and quite a few people were lying on the ground.
"Cough, cough. To think that a Chief Judge of the Holy See would actually appear here. Are you trying to start a war between the Holy See and my martial arts world?" A Dragon Group innate expert propped up his body and said angrily.
"For the glory of the Lord, we servants of God fear nothing!" A tall man gripped the cross in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Another group of religious lunatics!" Lingyun rubbed his brow with some helplessness. "I hate dealing with these types the most! Chen Jing, take the others and retreat a distance, let me handle this guy!"
"Be careful, Lingyun. A Chief Judge of the Holy See is not an ordinary innate expert." Chen Jing quickly helped up the people on the ground and retreated toward the rear.
"All who defy the will of the Lord shall be judged!" The Chief Judge held his long sword high and slashed toward Lingyun.
"Judgment? Even that bird-man God doesn't have the qualifications to judge me, let alone a mere Chief Judge like you!" Lingyun sneered.
"How dare you blaspheme God, you damned heretic!" The Chief Judge roared, adding more force to the great sword in his hand.
Facing the aggressive Chief Judge, Lingyun simply extended his right hand and grabbed at the Void. A massive energy palm appeared in the Void and reached toward the Chief Judge. The Chief Judge's great sword slammed heavily into the energy palm; not only did it fail to sever it, but the immense force from the palm shook his body.
Facing this situation, the Chief Judge's expression changed slightly, and several rays of light rose from his body one after another. This was the Holy See's unique Blessing Technique, which could allow a person to significantly increase their strength in a short period. Supported by the Blessing Technique, the Chief Judge let out a deep shout and slashed the palm in front of him into two pieces with one strike.
After severing the energy palm, the Chief Judge lunged forward, charging directly in front of Lingyun, and swung his great sword toward Lingyun. Lingyun concentrated his Source Power at his fingertips, using his finger as a sword to meet the Chief Judge's great sword. Although it was flesh colliding with a great sword, it emitted the sound of clashing metal.
Facing the Chief Judge's all-out attack, Lingyun appeared as if he were strolling through a courtyard, walking through the sky-filling web of swords. No matter how fierce the Chief Judge's strikes were, Lingyun was able to point a finger at the weakest point of his attack, breaking his momentum.
This exchange made the Chief Judge feel extremely frustrated, as if he had returned to decades ago, facing that man. In that battle, if the Pope hadn't intervened at the end with absolute, overwhelming power to repel that person, he likely would have been exhausted to death on that battlefield.
"Hah! Holy Light Punishment!" Facing this situation again, the Chief Judge used his own body to take Lingyun's finger strike head-on. Afterward, he used the force of that strike to retreat a step, swung his great sword, gathered Holy Light on the blade, and slashed heavily toward Lingyun's direction.
"Well done!" Lingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel the power contained in this strike; if he were careless, he might get injured. He gathered Source Power between his hands, quickly forming a dragon-shaped True Qi.
"Dragon Fighting in the Wild!"
Lingyun pushed his hands forward, and the dragon-shaped True Qi let out a roar, charging toward the Chief Judge.
The great sword slammed into the dragon shape, and the Chief Judge immediately felt a terrifying force transmitted from the sword. The magic Inscriptions on his armor lit up simultaneously, layering to weaken this powerful force. The Chief Judge's body trembled, and countless cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet, until he finally dissipated this powerful force.
"What is this guy's background? His strength is actually this powerful?" The Chief Judge was secretly shocked. "Is this the hidden power of this ancient country that has continued for thousands of years?"
Lingyun did not consider what the person in front of him was thinking. He simply gestured with one hand, and heavy flames condensed around him, turning into a fire dragon. After the fire dragon circled him a few times, it let out a high-pitched dragon roar and charged toward the Chief Judge.
"Flame Dragon Annihilation!"
Facing the fire dragon's attack, the Chief Judge took a deep breath. The Inscriptions on his armor lit up one after another, and the power of Holy Light surged around him, eventually forming a golden Light Ball the size of a washbasin. The Light Ball condensed extremely powerful light energy and blasted toward the fire dragon.
"Great Holy Light Technique!"
The Chief Judge was full of confidence in this move; after all, this armor had the Pope's blessing, so how could the power of the Great Holy Light Technique be weak?
However, the result greatly exceeded his expectations. The fire dragon actually opened its mouth and swallowed the entire Light Ball, then continued to pounce toward the Chief Judge. Facing this situation, the Chief Judge slammed his chest, and another Inscription lit up. Layers of light shields appeared around him, protecting him.
The fire dragon collided with the light shield, emitting a violent boom. Countless cracks appeared on the golden light shield, and then it shattered with a crash. The Chief Judge's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected the Defensive Magic on his armor to be shattered in one move.
"Do you have any other tricks?" Lingyun said slowly.
Hearing Lingyun's words, the Chief Judge couldn't help but flush red. Ever since he was promoted to Chief Judge, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Lingyun's words had clearly touched his bottom line.
"You are courting death!" The Chief Judge let out a low roar, and the power of light on his body surged violently. Behind him, a phantom of an Angel with wings appeared.
"Divine Descent?" Looking at that phantom, Lingyun raised an eyebrow. Under the effect of the Divine Descent, the Chief Judge's strength had increased significantly, already faintly approaching the threshold of the Golden Core.
After using the Divine Descent, several wrinkles appeared on the Chief Judge's face, and his entire person became much more withered. However, a triumphant smile appeared on his face: "Junior, in the face of my Lord's glory, you have no chance of winning! Take my move, Arrow of Holy Light!"
Watching the Chief Judge release countless light arrows toward him, Lingyun sighed softly. His body shook slightly, and four golden Light Balls flew out from his body. Nine Suns Fire spewed from the Light Balls, forming an invisible shield in front of him. When the light arrows flew to within three feet of Lingyun, they were turned into ashes by the scorching Nine Suns Fire.
"Just a lowest-level Angel, I don't know what you're so proud of." Lingyun shook his head slightly and pointed a finger at the sky. "Four Suns Burning the Wild!"
The four Light Balls turned into four streams of light and merged into Lingyun's right hand, causing his right hand to glow with a golden light. Subsequently, Lingyun pointed into the air with one hand, and the power of Four Suns Burning the Wild condensed into a sharp Sword Qi, shooting toward the Chief Judge.
"Holy Light Protection!" Feeling an incomparable sense of crisis from the Sword Qi, the Chief Judge immediately used the strongest Defensive Magic he could currently employ. Five layers of Holy Light shields appeared in front of him in succession.
"Boom, boom, boom." The Sword Qi was like bamboo being split; it pierced through the five layers of Holy Light shields in one go and slammed heavily into the Chief Judge's chest. The defensive Inscriptions on the armor lit up one after another, but they were immediately reduced to ashes under the powerful Nine Yang Power. Finally, the Nine Yang Sword Qi pierced through the armor, leaving a hole through the Chief Judge's body, and even the Angel phantom behind him turned into flying ash under the powerful Nine Yang Power.
Just after Lingyun killed the Chief Judge with one move, Luo Yexi arrived here with Shui Yunyue.
"Master, is this the Pope you were talking about?" Luo Yexi asked, looking at the slowly falling Chief Judge.
"No, this guy is much weaker than the Pope; he is a Chief Judge of the Holy See." Lingyun shook his head. "How is the situation on your side?"
"Only that woman named Daisy is left. When I came over here, I saw a team of people heading that way; it's probably the Dragon Group, she won't be able to escape!" Luo Yexi said. "By the way, Master, when will you help Senior Sister Shui Yunyue solve the problem with her body?"
"Let's do it today. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, to avoid any complications!" Lingyun said.
While the two were talking, Chen Jing had already brought an injured old man to Lingyun: "Lingyun, did you really kill the Chief Judge of the Holy See?"
"If this person is the Chief Judge of the Holy See, then he is truly dead." Lingyun pointed to the person on the ground and said.
"In any case, thank you, little friend, for your help today. To think that even a Chief Judge of the Holy See could invade our Beijing; it seems there are some places that need me to personally go and clean up!" The old man coughed lightly and said.
Lingyun scanned the people present, then tossed a jade bottle to Chen Jing: "There are some Blood Coagulation Pills in here, I'll leave it to you. Shui Yunyue's matter cannot be delayed; I need to get this done as soon as possible!"
Chen Jing took the jade bottle and nodded at him. Lingyun turned around and quickly disappeared into the night with Luo Yexi and Shui Yunyue.
