Chapter 79

Zhang Bei did not speak, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

Whether it was true or false, he would find out tonight. If it really was a trap, escaping would be no problem for him.

Time gradually reached late at night. Zhang Bei stood on a tree, his gaze leveled at the city before him.

Soon, a figure draped in a red robe stood under the tree.

In his hand, he held a white scepter.

"Respected powerhouse, have you come?"

Zhang Bei leaped down to the ground: "Is this the holy artifact you spoke of?"

Aokeni nodded and hurriedly handed the scepter to Zhang Bei.

Reaching out to take it, a white light immediately shone before his eyes.

The prompt on his watch also arrived in an instant.

【Holy Scepter: lv50

Property: Summon a Seraph, duration five hours, cooldown: seventy-two hours

Seraph: Four-winged, leveling up requires extra holy energy.】

Looking at this scepter before him, Zhang Bei immediately raised an eyebrow.

This thing was actually real!

He didn't expect this Cardinal to have actually brought it out!

Looking at Aokeni before him, Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes: "You stay standing right here; don't go anywhere."

Aokeni nodded hurriedly: "As you command!"

Zhang Bei fiddled with the scepter in his hand and chose to summon!

A milky white light appeared before him, and a Four-Winged Angel slowly emerged from the void.

Ye Fan: 【Holy crap, so beautiful!】

Niu Xuanming: 【A perfect creature is this strong, and it's so beautiful!】

Wu Yingcai: 【Holy crap, are angels this beautiful?】

The moment this Four-Winged Angel saw Zhang Bei, her expression instantly turned gloomy.

"Scum from hell!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Bei raised an eyebrow and waved the scepter in his hand.

The summoner has absolute control over the summoned entity; he had known this since the first time he summoned.

Looking at the Angel's dull expression, Zhang Bei suddenly smiled.

He reached out and pointed to the city before them: "Destroy it!"

The Angel flew up extremely reluctantly.

There was no help for it; even if she didn't want to move, her body would act autonomously under the summoner's command.

The Angel brandished the long sword in her hand, and waves of Jian Qi rushed toward the city.

The Divine Envoy, who was in the church, saw his expression turn gloomy the moment the Angel appeared.

Having used the scepter so many times, how could he not be familiar with this power?

Thinking back to the figure who entered the warehouse today, Aokeni had betrayed them!

Taking a deep breath, the Divine Envoy grabbed a book from the table and rushed outside.

At this moment, sparks of fire were splashing everywhere in the city.

Countless people were kneeling on the ground, begging for the Lord's forgiveness.

A white light slowly emerged from the Divine Envoy's body, and he floated into mid-air.

Watching the Angel rampaging before him, his eyes were filled with rage.

"Divine Word: Release!"

As the book in his hand bloomed with white light,

The scepter in Zhang Bei's hand also glowed in an instant.

The two rays of light collided, remaining in a stalemate for a full ten seconds.

In the end, the scepter was superior.

The Angel gave a regretful look, and the long sword in her hand slashed out another wave of Jian Qi.

The Divine Envoy's gaze shifted to Zhang Bei.

"Release the scepter, and I will grant you whatever you want!"

Zhang Bei stroked his chin. Whatever he wanted?

"Sorry, I don't lack anything!"

As the words fell, he tapped the scepter lightly toward the Angel.

The Angel, whose target had been the city, immediately shifted her gaze to the Divine Envoy.

Holy light flickered on the long sword, and a wave of Jian Qi slashed forward.

The Divine Envoy frowned: "Divine Word: Defense!"

A protection shield of the same attribute as the Jian Qi neutralized this attack.

But the Divine Envoy knew that his energy was insignificant compared to the Angel's.

He could withstand at most three such attacks.

To block Zhang Bei, there was only one way.

Destroy the scepter!

As long as the scepter could be destroyed, this Angel would lose control and would definitely stand by his side.

However, a level 50 weapon was not so easily destroyed.

The Divine Envoy looked at the chaos in the city, gritted his teeth, and took a scroll from his bosom.

Tearing the scroll open, an even more intense light covered the Divine Envoy's body.

"Divine Word: Destruction!"

Filled with tyrannical energy, it rushed toward Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei felt the energy's assault and habitually raised the weapon in his hand to block it.

The light struck the scepter, and the entire scepter was instantly covered in cracks.

Although it could still be used, the entire scepter was clearly on the verge of shattering.

Looking at the panting Divine Envoy, Zhang Bei twitched his mouth.

"Do you really think I'd be helpless if you solved this Angel?"

The Divine Envoy dodged the Angel's attack again, looking at the newly cracked scepter.

"No matter what, the Lord's believers cannot be controlled by heretics!"

Zhang Bei frowned; this Angel's combat power was very strong, and it would indeed be a pity if she just shattered like that.

Flipping his palm, a flat stone suddenly appeared in his hand.

He chose to use it on the scepter.

The stone instantly turned into powder, drawing out a strand of Zhang Bei's energy to cover the scepter.

It was the Whetstone he had obtained long ago.

Aside from being used on the long bow, it was rarely needed.

There was still a whole pile of them stored in the Trading Center.

As the Whetstone powder covered it, the scepter that was about to shatter immediately recovered somewhat.

However, the moment the energy within Zhang Bei's body made contact.

The entire scepter suddenly burst into blinding light.

Then, black-red energy collided with the light on the scepter.

A violent explosion came from his hand.

The scepter, which had just recovered slightly, instantly exploded.

The rampaging energy instantly drilled into Zhang Bei's body.

The Angel, who was in mid-air, suddenly stopped where she was.

The Divine Envoy's eyes lit up, and he prepared to bring the Angel back into the city.

He had been prepared for Zhang Bei to summon the Giant Turtle.

Who knew the Angel would remain motionless, with black-red light radiating from her body.

Zhang Bei on the ground was not having an easy time either; the energy within his body and the power of the scepter were clashing with each other.

Every collision was an explosion.

In just a few seconds, he had already suffered heavy injuries.

He flipped out a bottle of Life Spring and poured it into his mouth.

The injuries in his body eased slightly, but new injuries followed one after another.

The Divine Envoy in the sky didn't know what to do either.

Although Zhang Bei was spitting blood, his own energy was also exhausted.

The Cardinals were busy setting up arrays in the city to prepare for the Giant Turtle.

Time passed second by second; after a full ten minutes and after drinking thirty bottles of Life Water.

The scepter's energy was finally exhausted.

And the Angel in mid-air finally regained consciousness.

However, the Angel had lost her pure white color.

Her whole body was covered in black-red, and the two pairs of wings behind her had transformed into the same black as Zhang Bei's.

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes and beckoned to the Angel.
