Magicparty（9）

  The ninja army and the people from the Vatican did not find out that the Dark Council had already arrived at the city gate, both sides were staring at each other like fighting cocks, seeing who could hold back and launch the first wave of attack. Of course, judging from the situation, Galanti and Lohan from the Vatican would never be the first to make a move, how many people did they have after all?

  Gegge Wus stood on the rooftop of a distant building, his left hand stroking Fakras' black cat with ill intent, while his right hand held a bone staff that gestured towards the courtyard below: "Strange, why are there so few people? And where did those black-clad guys come from to join in the fun? Hmm?"

  When Longshan and the others first clashed with the people of the Vatican, the undead witch who had helped them walked out of the shadows, bowing respectfully at a 90-degree angle, saying in a low voice: "Honorable councilor, they should be those so-called ninjas from Japan. Last time, I don't know why, but they were ambushed by the people of the Vatican. I even used Corpse Explosion once to take out many of the Vatican's executives... Perhaps this time, they've come for revenge."

  Si Fen Ke's laughter echoed: "Oh? That would be great... Ge Ge Wu Si, maybe we don't need to take action, let them fight each other to the death first, and then we'll go and finish them all off. Hmm? I wouldn't want those fluffy beastmen treasures to suffer a bit of loss."

  Fakras sneered: "Gegus, keep your hands off my treasure. Hmm, it's a good idea to let them fight each other to the death... and then we'll show them what true terror is. But honestly, are those really Japanese people? I must say, I quite appreciate the way these ninjas attack."

  Gegewusi lightly blew a whistle, and all the dark council members quietly retreated back into the black shadows on the rooftop.

  Yi Chen, who had been hiding, also saw this scene. Yi Chen sneered: "It turns out that we are more suitable to join the Dark Council, look at their plan, it's almost the same as ours."

  "Boss, I don't like dealing with those cold-blooded guys all day," Feili complained in a low voice.

  Yi Chen gently stroked her head, lying on the ground without a word. Meanwhile, Mihua's hand had secretly reached into Chekhov's waistband and quietly pulled out a large hemp. Her movements were so light that even Jester beside her didn't notice, this young lady seemed to be spoiled by two rascals sooner or later.

  In the courtyard, Longshan took a big step forward and jumped high into the air. He didn't say a word of reason, then with one knife, he chopped down. This was the culmination of over a hundred years of Longshan's skill, a perfect combination of essence, spirit, and energy all coming together in unison with his highly skilled knife technique. A circular sword glow appeared in the air like a full moon, which transformed into a rainbow-colored light that shot towards Galanti's head.

  Kalanti whispered a soft laugh, her hands rose to her chest, and she murmured faintly: "Praise my Lord, my Lord is omnipotent, grant me infinite power, dispel all evil before my eyes." The people of the Religious Tribunal generally didn't need to pray to exert their powers. Once they started praying, it meant they were about to unleash their most lethal moves.

  Kalanti was enveloped in a pillar of holy light descending from the sky, and in his right hand, a dazzling white light gradually extended into a magnificent lightsaber, which slashed towards the rainbow-colored light without any hesitation.

  Later on, Luonan retreated a few steps with more than ten attendants, they didn't want to be implicated for no reason.

  A tearing sound echoed through the air, as Galanti's sword of piercing light and Longshan's howling sword light created a small vacuum space between them due to the immense pressure. Then came an earth-shattering explosion.

  Longshan's sword light was shattered, his upper body clothes were all crushed, and fluttered out like a gray butterfly. His tall figure seemed to be hit by a pure white holy light and flew more than 50 meters away. In the air, against the round moon, Longshan spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body fell down lightly like a falling leaf.

  As for Galanti, the lightsaber in his right hand dimmed a lot, and a blood stain extended from his forehead to his abdomen. Fortunately, he had holy light protection, so the sword energy of Longshan only cut through his skin.

  Luo Nan flew over and asked in a low voice: "Kalanti, are you okay?"

  Kalanti quickly wiped his face and saw the bloodstains on his hand, Kalanti furiously roared: "I'm fine, I'll take them down." After a fierce battle, Kalanti found that his strength far surpassed these strange Japanese warriors, and while his confidence was greatly boosted, he also became enraged by the wounds on his face.

  To know, Kalanti had spent a lot of effort to maintain his handsome young appearance, how could Longshan's sword not make Kalanti, who was very particular about his looks, angry?

  With his left hand, he pushed away Luo Nan. Kalanti's figure moved in tandem with three residual shadows, each carrying a holy light, slashing towards Long Shan in the air. Below, seven special ninjas let out a low roar and merged into the wind. Then, strange ripples visible to the naked eye emerged from all directions, converging on Kalanti's three residual shadows. These seven special ninjas were direct subordinates of the Long Shan school, and it was only natural for them to fight to the death for their master.

  "Eight Gua, get back!" Long Shan bellowed in mid-air. His sword had not yet left his hand when he suddenly mustered a mouthful of true energy and muttered the incantation for the Five Elements Shift, causing him to float suspended in mid-air.

  Seven special ninjas heard the order and immediately appeared in front of him, then fell back to the ground. Their movements made Galanti suddenly feel a pang of difficulty. Originally, Galanti had calculated clearly that after killing these seven ninjas with one blow, he would use the momentum to propel himself upwards and stab the heart of Longshan, who was falling from the sky, with his lightsaber. But now the seven ninjas had retreated, while Longshan was floating in mid-air, leaving Galanti suddenly trapped in a awkward situation where he couldn't move forward or backward.

  Longshan smiled faintly, his figure seemed to revolve in a circle like a giant tornado, leaving behind countless residual shadows before merging into the wind. His figure did not disappear, but rather, illusory silhouettes kept appearing and disappearing from the air, treading the "Thousand-Man Slaughter" step, chopping towards Kalanti. Longshan had actually perfectly combined the Five Elements Shift with Japanese swordsmanship.

  Kalandi was in a difficult situation, with the sound of sword blades slashing through the air all around him, but he couldn't find which one was the true body of Longshan. Kalandi's three illusions merged into one and moved swiftly, stabbing rapidly through the air. Since he couldn't find the real body, he decided to slash at every remaining shadow.

  Kalanti has absolute confidence in his own sword, enough to completely destroy Longshan.

  The air was filled with Longshan's explosive roar: "Open."

  Two shadowy blades chopped towards Galanti, Galanti laughed and the light sword in her hand shone brightly as she stabbed forward. Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from below, "Galanti, behind you!"

  What's behind? Kalanti was stunned for a moment, wasn't the wind coming from the front? However, due to his trust in Luo Nan, his only true friend in the church, Kalanti didn't hesitate and swung his sword with his right hand. Then, he quickly turned around and his left hand's 'Holy Light Cross Sword' slashed out over 30 times.

  Silently gliding from behind, the sword tip had already aimed at Galanti's back heart, Longshan was caught off guard, and together with his sword, he was cut into four pieces by Galanti's full-strength slash. Then, the continuous 'Holy Light Cross Sword' roared out in succession, turning Longshan's body into ashes.

  The violent true energy that had been accumulating on the sword's edge also entered Galanti's body along with the light sword, and after being attacked by the "Satan Legion" and not fully recovering from his injuries, he was unable to catch his breath as this burst of true energy rushed into his meridians. Galanti's face turned deathly pale as he fell to the ground, retreating over a dozen steps before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Fresh blood was like a hail of arrows, mixed with the true energy of Longshan that had been forced out, and struck towards the ninja army in front.

  The ninja, enraged by the tragic death of Longshan, let out a loud roar and, led by more than thirty other raging elders, surged forward like a tidal wave, shouting strange slogans.

  A string of fireballs were thrown into the sky, exploding high above and bursting into clusters of red flames. Instantly, countless black shadows jumped in from all around the courtyard, a large group of ninjas who had been hiding in the rear, seeing the summons, immediately charged in.

  An old man with a completely bald head and beard shouted loudly: "Never mind all that, just go all out to kill them."

  Actually, the elder chrysanthemums are clear in their hearts that according to Kalanti and Luonan's performance, each of them is their opponent. It's better to use someone else's hands to drown them than to waste their own precious lives. Those young ninjas should be the ones to sacrifice.

  These dark shadows jumped into the courtyard and immediately merged with the different sources of the five elements around them, in the wind, underground, in the water, a series of strange sword blades slashed towards Galanti and others...

  Kalanti and Luonan revealed a strange smile, laughing and saying: "Fortunately we were prepared, otherwise you would have really succeeded."

  A loud prayer echoed within the main building: "Praise my Lord, God Almighty, grant us infinite divine power, destroy all opposing forces, 'Judgment of God'."

  Column after column of white light, like powerful lasers, shot down from the sky, a completely indiscriminate attack, densely packed light columns covering every corner of the courtyard outside the main building.

  The entire courtyard was swept clean in an instant, and the ninjas who had deployed the Five Elements Concealment Technique were struck by a powerful beam of light, their bodies instantly vaporized, dying on the spot. In one "Judgment of God", all the ninjas present, except for more than 30 elders and over 100 high-ranking special ninjas who managed to resist with their individual strength, were completely wiped out, leaving no corpses behind.

  However, for the ninja army of over a thousand people, only about 400 were killed this time, and the endless stream of people behind them continued to rush in. Wave after wave of strange winds enveloped Galanti and Luonan densely.

  Kalanti, who had intercepted thousands of attacks on him, looked at the situation on the other side and saw that Luo Nan was not doing well either. His clothes were all torn apart, and he couldn't help but let out a furious roar: "What are you waiting for? Come again with 'God's Judgment'!" How could Kalanti not be anxious? He and Luo Nan could still hold on for a while, but his remaining dozen or so subordinates were already lying on the ground, moaning in pain, their heads severed.

  Upon hearing Galanti's complaint, a powerful holy light shot out from the great hall of the main building. The ninjas in the air let out miserable cries as they were blown away, their bodies seemingly on fire, spewing blood from their mouths, and lost all strength to fight back.

  A strange thing happened, the attack that almost killed these little ninjas healed all the wounds of Galanti and Luonan, even those who were moaning on the ground, their wounds were healing rapidly.

  Seven people slowly walked out and stood beside Glandi and Lonn with a sneer on their faces.

  "This side's Dekura took a cold breath and groaned: 'Satan the Great, what's going on? Is it worth it for just one Sacred Beetle? Five Red Robe Archbishops, two Vice Arbiters, plus Galanti and Lohan, that's four Vice Arbiters... This kind of power can easily destroy the Dark Council's American branch.'"

  Yi Chen's muscles twitched uncontrollably as he gazed at the five bishops in crimson robes and four deputy judges in golden robes in the distance. In a low voice, Yi Chen said: "We're ready to go up now. Our strength is much greater than those Japanese people. We can mix in and give them a sudden blow..."

  Yi Chen didn't intend to say those words, he usually liked to hide behind and watch others struggle. But seeing the bulging veins on Jester's forehead and his bloodshot eyes, Yi Chen let out a soft sigh and spoke out those unthoughtful words. At least, even if they couldn't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem, after all, Tian Lei Zi and the others were right behind them providing backup.

  Upon hearing Yidun's words, Jester had already taken a step forward, the black flames on his body were so intense that they had burst forth to over ten meters high. Chikov, who always got along with him, also rushed out in a hurry, and Fir, Gao, and Cain silently followed suit, naturally shielding the weakest Chikov at the back.

  Dekeula saw the actions of several subordinates of Yidun clearly, and couldn't help but take a quick glance at Yidun, saying in a low voice: "Your subordinates, their emotions are really good."

  Yi Chen smiled and didn't say a word, taking Feili with him as he burst out.

  "Leave three people here to guard Miss Misha, don't let her... Oh God, Misha darling, what are you doing?" Dekula almost fainted and rushed to Misha's side in a few quick steps. He pulled out the lit marijuana cigarette from her mouth and shouted loudly without caring if anyone was watching: "You, you, you..."

  Miki's eyes immediately welled up with tears, pitifully looking at Dekura: "I just wanted to try it out... Uuuu, wuuuuuu..."

  Deacula panicked and stomped his foot, causing a large section of the ceiling to collapse. Ignoring the shocked cries from below, Deacula roared in a low voice: "Mishui'er, settle the score with you later... Leave six people behind, watch Mishui'er."

  With six Grand Dukes, Dracula also flew over.

  The more than thirty vampires originally belonging to Jest were also in motion, and they didn't care about the initial dispatch task anymore. They hastily transformed into human form and rushed up with strange cries.

  On the other side, Gugu's chin almost fell off, the strength of the Vatican was really beyond their expectations. He and Fakurasu and Sufinks looked at each other, waved his hand and said: "We will join hands with the Japanese to take down the Vatican."

  A green flame shot up to the sky, then burst into a huge green fireball. Countless giant black shadows saw the flames and let out fierce roars, flying towards the courtyard.

  An elder of Chrysanthemum was conversing with Galanti: "You guys actually hid so many powerful experts?"

  Kalanti sneered with a pleased smile: "We were originally going to deal with other people and had our own goals, but you bunch of idiots came to us on your own accord to send yourselves to death. So, get ready to go to hell! Those who are killed by us will absolutely not go to heaven... You even dared to attack the clergy of our church last time, you should have been dead a long time ago."

  An old man of a chrysanthemum shouted: "Are you just nine people? What do you think you are? Gods?"

  With a wave of his hand, the ninja army reformed and charged forward with renewed vigor. Even the ninjas themselves didn't notice that their ranks had been infiltrated by some who were not their own kind.

  More than 30 elders who were determined to retreat together took a few steps back, thinking that even if their subordinates died, it didn't matter, as there were still many in the country, and their own lives were what mattered most. It was easy to live to over a hundred years old, but if they died, it would be really not worth it.

  Hundreds of ninjas spread out in a phantom shape and rushed over, the mournful sword wind whistling, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, as if a light curtain wrapped Kalanti and others in the middle.

  Kalandi and the others also changed color, any ninja, they can easily get rid of them, but so many people come up at the same time, how can they not be overwhelmed? In case of a full-force attack, their own body would lack defense, and just one sword could make more wounds appear on their bodies. That's a big loss of face among colleagues and superiors, they absolutely won't allow such a thing to happen.

  Then, Galanti and the other nine top Vatican personnel stood in place and began an absolute defensive tactic. Their holy power connected as one, completely unafraid of these ninjas' sword auras. Occasionally, their fingers would shoot out a beam of holy light, enough to make a ninja cough up blood and die. If a slightly weaker ninja tried to resist this holy power, their body would be blown apart.

  However, the Holy Light Shield formed by Galanti and others also showed a ripple effect in the crazy attacks of these ninja who didn't care about their lives, and started to vibrate slightly. After all, these ninjas were also people with great strength.

  An old chrysanthemum elder who was watching from the side suddenly roared: "Ba Ga, whose subordinates are those people? They actually rushed up directly like that, aren't they making it more convenient for others to take advantage of them?"

  The first one to pounce without concealing his figure was Jester, and he couldn't conceal his figure either. The black flames on him were too intense, while the silhouettes of those ninjas were completely invisible. Anyone who saw him at first glance would think it was him.

  Jester's two dragon-slaying daggers emitted a dark glow, mixed with black flames. Two black rays of light swept past, striking the light shield that Galanti and the others were using to protect themselves. A blinding flash of light burst forth, making it impossible to tell whether it was black or white, as everyone's eyes were seared by the intensity of the light at that moment.

  Kalandi's light shield weakened greatly, while Jester was shocked and flew over a hundred meters. Jester shouted loudly in mid-air, his true yuan circulating, the star power around him surging towards his body like a tide, the moonlight (Taiyin Star) visible to ordinary people's naked eye, as if mist-like, pouring into his body.

  Jester had mastered more than half of the dark assembly's magic, and with a full force, he launched the hellfire manipulation. A small black flame appeared on his forehead, followed by circles of black flames extending around his body. When the range of the flame circle covered the entire courtyard, Jester used his own body as a projectile, like a black comet mixed with cold flames, charging towards Galanti.

  Kalanti's heart skipped a beat, could it be that someone from the Dark Assembly was present today? Otherwise, how would they have used such magic?

  "Black Dawn's high-ranking official, take him down."

  The other seven bishops and vice-chancellors, upon hearing this, simultaneously retracted the holy light that was protecting them, and with their right hands, they shot out a palm towards Jester who was falling from the sky. The nine intense holy lights converged into one pillar of light, which shot straight towards Jester.

  On this side, the protective light shield of Kalanti and others was lifted, and countless whistling arc-shaped sword auras slashed towards their bodies. Between the arc-shaped sword auras, several diamond-shaped white light flows shot out, aiming at Kalanti's eyes, throat, heart, lower body and other vital areas, flying continuously. At the same time, two huge black treasure swords mixed with scorching flames slashed over, directly slashing towards Kalanti and Luonan's necks.

  And a massive fist, with an intense silver glow, brutally tore through the air and struck towards Galanti's head.

  There was also a white light over three meters long, as thick as a finger, mixed with a chilling cold air that circulated in the air, wrapping around the nine leaders of the church.

  Kalanti was at a loss for what to do, his heart wailing: "Why are they all coming after me?" But seeing that his companions were no longer able to rescue him, he gritted his teeth, raised both hands to his chest, and let out a loud roar. A dense holy light burst forth from his body, sweeping outward like a storm.

  Phil and Goll's swords were knocked flying, and the two retreated hastily; Cain's massive fist clashed with the holy light in a fierce exchange, causing Cain to shudder all over, grunt, and fly backward. Only Fili's flying sword, thanks to its extremely yin properties, darted back and forth within the holy light, its icy aura already numbing Galanti's joints.

  In the air, Jester's eyes looked like he couldn't dodge the holy light pillar, and was about to go all out in a desperate bid. Just then, Yichen's ghostly figure appeared beside him, lightly pulling him away, causing Jester's body to narrowly avoid this fatal attack. Afterwards, Yichen raised his hand, and two flying star swords and seven sky-piercing arrows shot out, two silver rainbows and seven emerald lights accompanied by thunderous roars shot towards Galanti and the others.

  The old men of Chrysanthemum were shocked and exclaimed: "What kind of people are they?"

  The moonlight in the sky suddenly dimmed, and countless huge figures flew in, blocking out the moonlight. A gloomy voice said in a low tone: "Hehe, we are friends, let's take down the Temple people together."

  The old men of the chrysanthemum also aren't fools, seeing such a good opportunity, they loudly shouted: "All warriors, cooperate with them, get rid of the bastards of the Vatican." They were clear that these ninjas only had the fate of coordinating attacks, and given their strength, it was impossible for them to be the main attackers.

  The ninjas retreated at the sound, with a wave of their hands, countless starlight shot towards Galanti and his men, the ninja's secretly-made hidden weapons were launched.

  Those advanced beasts roared, holding their heavy weapons and brutally chopping towards Galanti and the others. Blue, green and other colored lights floated on their axes and swords, the air was filled with violent turbulence, countless energies that could split heaven and earth surged towards Galanti and the others.

  Galandi and the four vice judges were fine, relying on their physical skills to dodge such crazy attacks. The five red-robed high priests, however, were in a dire situation. They didn't have time to pray and couldn't exert their powers. Their bodies were also too weak. If Galandi and the others could withstand one blow from the axe, these priests would definitely die with just half a blow.

  Five red-robed archbishops retreated hastily, desperately retreating. Just as they were withdrawing, however, they discovered that their legs no longer obeyed them. Wave after wave of icy numbness spread up from their legs.

  Just as the beastmen's axes were about to land, Yichun's flying sword and arrows had already shot rapidly towards Galanti, Luonan and two others. The four of them crazily slashed out countless 'Holy Light Cross Swords', knocking away Yichun's swords and arrows while blocking most of the beastmen's attacks.

  As for those ninjas' hidden weapons, they couldn't even reach within ten meters of Galanti's body before being blown away by the intense airflow.

  Dracula arrived with six Grand Dukes just in time, Zhang Dàmǒubā greedily pounced on them, loudly roaring: "Give us your blood." Dracula punched Kalanti's shoulder. The other two Grand Dukes also punched and kicked Kalanti's body, the dark energy inside him surging wildly.

  Kalanti's body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out. He roared: "Damn it, top-level bloodline, Luo Nan..." He slashed out several holy lights, slightly pushing back Dekula and the others. When he turned his head back, he found that Luo Nan had repelled the interception of four grand dukes and was charging towards him.

  Kalanti felt a sense of relief in her heart. As long as Luonan and she joined forces, they could at least retreat back to the main building, right? Once they were back in the main building, nothing would be a problem anymore.

  However, Jester led the way with two dark lights charging towards the reinforcements of Luo Nan. Yi Chen brought up a hazy silver light screen like a ghost, and several silver "starlight" sword auras shot towards Luo Nan's eyes. Luo Nan was shocked in his heart, just swinging his hand to pop open the two dragon-slaying daggers, Fei Er, Ge Er, and Kai En rushed up again, forcibly stopping Luo Nan's footsteps.

  Kalanti's heart was racing as he re-gripped the lightsaber in his hand, starting to swing it with a swordsmanship that he had almost forgotten. The downside of being in a high position finally showed itself - Kalanti no longer possessed the strength he had during his peak years. For over a decade now, he had rarely taken action himself. Where was the invincible umpire he once was? He was now the glorious Vice-Umpire-in-Chief.

  Apart from the five Red Robed Archbishops' chaotic retreat, the other two Vice Judges also ran into trouble. Those thick-headed high-ranking Beastmen's axes and their fists were warmly 'rumbling', although they could knock down a high-ranking Beastman with one punch, but there were too many of these desperate Beastmen, and for a while they couldn't even come to support Galanti in time.

  One by one, the gloomy laughter echoed, and Gerg Uthsk, Farkras, and Svenkes slowly walked into the war group. With a wave of their hands, a thick fog instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. Behind them, the vampires under Jester's, Dekula's, and the American branch's command had already charged over with joy, their slender black flower swords stirring up thousands of threads of sword wind, stabbing towards the retreating five Red Robe Archbishops.

  Geg Wu sneered with satisfaction: "Oh, poor sirs, you seem to be in a bit of trouble. You're actually being driven into a flurry by our subordinates." Geg Wu was purely teasing others, and the combined forces of several hundred dark council experts were attacking Galanti and others, so how could they not gain an advantage? Moreover, there were also people like Yi Chen who were fishing in troubled waters, and their magical artifacts' power had offset a lot of the holy light's power that Galanti and others possessed.

  Yi Chen's body shape suddenly changed, three 'Gathering Star Rings' surrounded his entire body, and the green light was overwhelming. His original punch that was rushing towards Luo Nan suddenly changed direction, turning into a claw-like grab towards Kalanti's neck who was busy and flustered.

  Kalanti is withstanding Dekura's attack. If it were a one-on-one fight, Kalanti would be confident of taking down Dekura within three minutes. However, with the addition of two Grand Dukes and Fakuras' cat that has transformed into a black leopard, things are getting a bit troublesome.

  Kalanti didn't notice Yichun's claws. When he felt the cold wind behind him, he hastily twisted his body, and Yichun's hand claws had already scratched five deep blood marks on his neck, then ripped open his shoulder. Yichun was ruthless enough, his fingers moved in unison, the 'Shattered Star' sword pierced through his body, and the tips of his fingers mercilessly crushed Kalanti's collarbone.

  A shrill scream, and the angry roars of many people from inside the main building, Kalanti had already stumbled and fallen to the ground, Dekula and several Grand Dukes' eyes lit up, their big mouths open, fangs bared, pounced forward.

  The advanced beastmen and the Japanese ninjas cheered and rushed towards the main building, the enemy had already fallen one, although the means used were not very glorious, but after all, the opponent had fallen one.

  Kalanti fell to the ground and swung his hand, punching out a fist. A white light flashed, and Yichen's hum was knocked flying. However, under the protection of 'Juxing Ring', Yichen only suffered a slight shock and did not suffer too much damage.

  Yi Chen floated back into the courtyard, one arm wrapped around Fei Li, whispering: "Something's not right, it seems..."

  The words had barely fallen when the situation in the field changed. Nine thick holy lights, like nine light dragons, shot out from the main hall, and the piercing sound of breaking through the air made everyone's movements stiffen for a moment. In this brief moment, another incredibly powerful holy light burst out from the hall, sweeping away more than thirty beastmen and over a hundred ninjas at the front, instantly turning them to ashes.

  Nine Radiant Dragons descended upon the land, including Dekura, six Great Dukes, Jester, Chekhov, Cain, Phil, Goll, Beastman, Ninja, and Black Panther. These nine Radiant Dragons were truly too terrifying; no one dared to say they could withstand their combined might.

  Nine young people wearing armor and holding various weapons appeared on the steps in front of the hall, just protecting Galanti and Lohan, while the largest holy light had already rushed towards Geggus and his two companions.

  "Damn it, nine sacred knights?! Then the one who made the move is..." Before he could think more, three members of the Dark Council joined forces and blasted out a pale white light column.

  A deafening explosion, a crater with a diameter of nearly 20 meters appeared in the courtyard. This was still the result of both sides fearing that the power would be too great to harm their own people, and diverting most of the power into the air. A gray light column was shooting straight up from the collision site, and ripples could be vaguely seen in the surrounding space.

  Geggie Uss and the other two trembled all over, while Sefkes had already waved his long arms and shouted loudly: "Which son of a bitch is hiding inside to ambush us? Damn it, have you Vatican guys also learned this trick? Get out here and take a look."

  Sifenkes is really tough, this guy can fight against three of us at the same time. Although I didn't use my full strength in a hurry, it's not like I can handle him easily. But... there are so many people on our side, we can surround and kill you. Don't look at that holy light killing dozens of beastmen, it just gave you enough time to gather your strength, if you keep fighting non-stop, who can withstand it?

  Accompanied by a faint cough, an old man with a purple robe, bald head and flowing white beard slowly walked out, followed by countless high-ranking divine officials.

  "Impossible, the Grand Inquisitor of the Religious Tribunal, that old devil, how could he have arrived in New York? What is it about New York that has drawn them here?"

  Kalanti had crawled up gasping for air, and walked to the chief judge's face, reporting in a low voice: "Sir, we suspect that the Holy Beetle may have been taken away by some of their forces. After all, ordinary people cannot cope with the 'Lunar' tribe."

  Yi Chen had secretly gathered his subordinates and hid to one side, whispering: "Should we retreat first? It seems that the reinforcements from the Imperial Court will arrive in just two days... I don't want to fight this old monster with unfathomable power."

  Jester, who was just furiously looking for someone to fight, now seemed to have been doused with cold water, and said in a low voice: "Boss, the referee is not someone we can handle. Shouldn't we leave now?"

  Seeing the most radical Jester had become like this, Yi Chen nodded and hastily sent a message to Dequla, several people sneaked out of the courtyard wall and fled quickly.

  The presiding judge's long, narrow eyes saw Yi Chen and the others slipping away, but he didn't care about a few small fish slipping away. With members of the Dark Congress here, that was enough.

  Received Yichun's transmission, Dekula quietly led the six Grand Dukes to retreat to a corner, he also made up his mind to slip away at any time. Only Chrysanthemum's people were still unclear about the situation, and they actually gathered a large number of ninjas together with those beastmen, preparing to launch another attack.

  Gegewu smiled a few times with a slightly nervous heart: "Haha, it's really rare... Um, we seem not to be making such a big fuss, right? Otherwise, the impact on the world would be too..."

  The judge laughed in a low voice: "No, it's different. The dark councilor, you took the initiative to attack my subordinates. I have the responsibility to take some revenge for them. Blood must be paid with blood, right? As for your collaboration with the Japanese and opposing us, we will slowly settle accounts later. I'm not in a hurry, I've lived for hundreds of years, I'm not in a hurry."

  How did the old men of Chrysanthemum know that the Vatican had counted them as accomplices of the Dark Council? Explain, looking at the situation on the scene, can they explain clearly? Maybe, only by killing all the people in the Vatican can it be explained clearly, is it?

  It's unclear who made the first move, but anyway, a large number of clergy and a large number of beastmen, vampires, black wizards, and ninjas got entangled together. Gusu gritted his teeth, and the gray mist inside the courtyard became more than ten times thicker, starting to frantically absorb the vital energy of all living things in the courtyard. The flowers withered, the trees turned into wooden sticks, and a mournful, eerie cry came from the air around them.

  Divine light-protected clergy are still okay, at least they can barely resist the attack of death energy. Those poor ninjas, however, are purely human and have no chance to react when faced with the most vicious curse in this death magic, being sucked dry into mummies instantly. The only difference is that some people take a little longer to be drained.

  The old men of chrysanthemum saw that the situation was not right, and they slipped away one by one. Of course, they also lost a lot of yuanqi to barely get rid of it.

  Gegewu's hand waved, and countless phosphorescent fireballs came surging out of the gray mist, covering the sky and pouring down on those divine officials.

  As for Farkras and Sivak, they charged towards the referee. The two of them had calculated that Gargoth could take out a large number of low-ranking divine officials, the high-ranking beastmen could entangle the nine holy knights, Dekura and his group could harass Galanti and others, while the slow-moving Red Robed High Priest and the large number of high-ranking vampires would be counterattacked, resulting in them only being able to defend themselves. In any case, the chances of winning were still relatively high.

  Fakrash even smiled complacently, wasn't the most pleasing thing that a large number of death seekers had sent their lives to Gusu? His magic was more powerful the more people were sacrificed... These ninja-like fools, their vitality was quite intense.

  However, a major flaw in Fakhras' plan had already emerged: Dekura and his companions had secretly slipped away at the beginning of the battle. Dekura even found an excuse for himself: "People from the Philip family are not your Dark Council's running dogs. I absolutely will not waste my life and strength."

  New York Police Department, the captain has received most of the reports that the snipers were mysteriously killed. Enraged, he ordered: "All-out attack, anyone who violates our law will be taken down. Attack, attack, boys, show your courage trained during practice."

  More than 200 black-clad men, led by their squad leader, jumped away at a speed slightly slower than that of high-level vampires. Behind them, countless single-soldier flying devices closely followed, those soldiers wrapped in black combat armor, holding heavy single-soldier high-power laser weapons, charged forward with a fierce killing intent.

  These single-person flying machines soared between the skyscrapers, countless onlookers let out cries of astonishment, what the hell is going on?! However, the conspicuous American flags on these flying machines reassured the citizens quite a bit, some even started cheering wildly.

  The New York police chief let out a sigh, and after the men in black had all left, he took out paper and pen to start writing his resignation letter. He muttered under his breath: "Damn it, these bastards are driving me crazy. Unless God himself comes down to stop me, I'm done with this job."

  Tianlei and the others looked at the chaotic battle below, all shaking their heads slightly. Xiangyao frowned: "The rebel party has almost been destroyed, what are we still doing here?"

  "Alas, alas, let's go, let's go. We've eliminated the leaders of the rebel party, and we can return to our respective mountain gates. As for what happens next, it's not our concern, nor can we control it. Look at that purple-robed old man, he doesn't seem easy to deal with."

  As soon as the words fell, seven dark winds rolled over, and the seven beast spirits laughed: "Tian Lei Zi Dao brother, the master said that the thing has been received, but you must hurry back. He also said that if you delay for another cup of tea time, there will be big trouble in the future."

  "Tian Lei's son jumped up: "What? The wine I gave to Tian Feng Shixiong was taken by the sect leader? Dammit, how do you people handle things... A cup of tea time? Why? I'll be damned, old Dao, I'm just going to stay here and see what kind of big trouble is waiting for us."

  Kong Tian furrowed his brow: "Fellow Taoist, the heavenly calculations of Tian Xinzi Dao brother have never been wrong before. We'd better leave this place quickly. You secretly descended the mountain again and even brought fine wine back, I'm afraid that when you return to the mountain, you will..."

  Tian Lei Zi hastily shook his head: "My old master, I know my Eldest Master's temper, he said until death, it would only be a punishment of facing the wall for three years, and after several weeks of moving, it would pass. What I want to see is what kind of trouble this is."

  These people are still muttering here, and there is already big trouble below.

  Yi Chen and they merged with De Kula, taking away those vampires under their command, this is a small matter, so nothing more to say.

  Within the temple grounds, lower-ranking clergy and priests desperately resisted Gargoth's assault. The phosphorescent fireballs filled with resentment were suffused with an icy death energy that made these clerics suffer greatly. Meanwhile, the dark power contained within them was slowly corroding their protective holy auras. The only consequence of flesh coming into contact with this phosphorescence was being thoroughly corroded away.

  Fakrash, Svenkes and a black panther pounced on the referee, following a strange curved trajectory, constantly striking at the referee. The referee initially responded with a light finger movement, and a strong holy light could repel them, but later discovered that something was wrong.

  A small amount of holy light was hardly a threat to Farkras and his companions, but the two men and beast would often retreat after borrowing strength, only to immediately fly back up and entangle themselves tightly. The chief judge's face was somewhat displeased, his movements gradually becoming larger and more powerful, if not for maintaining his dignity in front of his subordinates, he would have long since drawn out his holy artifact to slash down at them.

  Kalanti and the others, except for the chief judge, retreated to the entrance of the hall, then began to cast their proud light magic, with streams of light and screens of light covering the sky. Kalanti had learned his lesson, knowing he was no longer suited for close combat, it was better to support others from behind.

  Originally, it should have been Decula who was supposed to take on Galanti and the others, but he had already left. As a result, Galanti and the others were able to join forces with the five Red Robe Archbishops, using their powerful light magic to inflict massive damage on the Dark Council's subordinates. The high-ranking vampires that charged forward were no match for the four Vice Arbiters, unable to pose any threat to the Red Robe Archbishops.

  "Count Dracula? Where are you? Dracula...Dracula...Damn you, Count Dracula! You've fled with your tail between your legs. What about the honor of the House of Hapsburg?"

  Gegu Wu's anger was so intense that he gritted his teeth and cursed for a while, biting off the tip of his own tongue and spitting out blood. He threw away his short staff and with both hands, he drew an eerie magic array in mid-air using his own heart's blood.

  The ground began to shake, and the chief judge was shocked. He roared: "You damned thing, how dare you use demonic magic in the city?! You...you should die."

  The judge didn't care about that anymore, with a wave of his hand, a small silver cross appeared in his hand, he muttered a few words under his breath, the cross gradually emitted a strong light, then formed a lightsaber, shining brightly, its presence intimidating.

  With a single sword stroke, he forced back Farkas and Svinik, the chief judge leapt to his feet, and with one thrust of his sword, struck down Geguzi.

  The nine Holy Knights who were entangled with the beastmen heard the Judge's shout, and their faces also changed. Someone actually summoned demons? Summoning those real devils from the depths of hell? Dammit...

  Nine holy knights let out a loud roar, suddenly kneeling down on one knee, and after a few swift and extraordinary prayers, their bodies shone brightly. One slid forward, another made a long-range thrust, and together they stabbed towards Gagew in the distance.

  The beastmen roared and swung their massive bodies with all their might, but even their full-force blows couldn't shake the sacred knights' onslaught. Instead, they themselves were often sent flying, their weapons shattered like withered branches.

  Geguzi let out a cruel smile and roared: "Welcome, devils from hell... You're all going to die!" The ground shook even more violently, and faintly visible were the black flames that emerged from the cracks in the ground. Geguzi had truly gone mad; otherwise, he would never have used this extremely dangerous move. If a real devil was summoned, Geguzi would have to use his own soul to control it, and if there was even the slightest mistake, he would immediately be destroyed by the counterattacking force.

  Even if they finally got rid of this devil, the power of Gagros would not be able to recover within a hundred years. This is also the reason why these selfish high-level black wizards absolutely do not use this trick until the last moment.

  Hundreds of clergy present also panicked, abandoning their opponents and ignoring the phosphorescent fireballs that continued to attack their bodies. They concentrated all their strength and struck at Gagarius... However, it was clear that even the referee's blow was a bit too late; before they could finish off Gagarius, the magic would definitely be completed.

  A gentle and thick voice came from the second floor of the main building, facing the courtyard balcony: "Almighty Lord, I praise you, I serve you, You give me almighty power, dispel all evil in the world, 'Purification of God'."

  With this gentle voice, the entire New York was shrouded in a hazy holy light screen. A huge silver-white cross pierced through the sky, and people far away could see it... Including the director of the NYPD, he also walked to the balcony with his eyes wide open, staring at the cross in the sky with his eyes wide open, and involuntarily knelt down on the ground: "Lord, do you want me to stick to this position? Did you come to stop me yourself? Heaven, I will obey your will."

  Throughout New York, including its surrounding areas, there was hardly anyone left standing. Almost everyone was filled with a sense of sacred awe in their chest and then knelt down. Countless sinners vowed to reform, countless people who had done wrong secretly exposed their private matters.

  Soft and hazy, though not intense, but warm like the sunlight in March, the light spilled down from the sky, making the entire New York City seem like daytime, all dark forces were dispelled.

  A middle-aged man wearing a magnificent robe, with a face as if crowned with jade, elegant and majestic, holding a scepter, with the Sea Dragon King's crown on his head, slowly appeared on the balcony of the main building. A warm white light rose from his body, making him seem like an incarnation of God, benevolent, majestic, and inviolable.

  Gegu's demonic summoning spell was completely dismantled, to his surprise, not even he himself suffered from the magical backlash, as if the demon had been thoroughly annihilated.

  "His Eminence... Good heavens, he's also here! Retreat, retreat..."

  Without his summons, those nearly collapsing beastmen and black mages retreated in all directions, while the vampires had been annihilated, not even leaving behind any ashes.

  In the surrounding air, a dense cluster of small black dots suddenly appeared. They were the Black-clad Men leading the Special Airborne Combat Brigade. However, upon seeing the strange changes around them, they too stood there with their mouths agape, unsure of what to do next.

  Time, just right after Qī Shòu Líng finished telling Tiān Léi Zǐ's words, was about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

  Tian Lei Zi insisted on not leaving and wanted to stay and watch the excitement, so everyone had no choice but to accompany him. Even the empty sky was filled with curiosity. However, when the light of "Divine Purification" enveloped the entire New York, the Seven Beast Spirits also let out a strange cry and emitted a burst of green smoke from their bodies. As dark creatures, how could they withstand this purification light that completely drove away all darkness?

  Tianlei Zi was anxious, seeing the Seven Beast Spirit's body trembling with a strange cry. He didn't care about anything else, his eyes scanned around and found the Pope who emitted this unbelievable holy light. With a swift motion of his hands, a bolt of lightning struck down with a loud "Zap".

  The Pope smiled at the three remaining members of the Dark Council, saying in a low voice: "This time, it seems you have failed? And lost many people, you belong to darkness, we belong to light."

  The words had barely fallen when a thick, large lightning bolt came crashing down. The Pope was stunned, he too was from the Red Cardinal and inherited this incredible power through secret methods, but as for reaction speed, he wasn't even comparable to the lowest-ranking deacon of the Tribunal. At that moment, everyone was caught off guard, and the lightning bolt struck the Pope's crown with a loud crash.

  A strong holy light appeared around the Pope's body, and the Pope was a bit overwhelmed and retreated several steps. He had thought that all his enemies had been driven away, but he didn't know there was still such a hidden opponent? For a moment, his muscles were numb, and the crown was also chopped off to the ground.

  This flash of lightning has blown the minds of the Vatican people, oh God, someone dares to attack our noble and matchless Emperor? Isn't he your representative on earth?

  Including the Chief Judge, all the clergy also couldn't be bothered with Gagool and his two companions anymore, they were all enraged and shot straight into the sky to pursue and kill the person who dared to attack the Pope.

  Gegewus, they were so happy that the Pope's crown was chopped off? Hahaha, it was too exciting, if I go back and tell them, it will definitely be a big joke. However, although they were happy, they still knew when to leave and slipped away quietly.

  The Pope was stunned and for a moment did not issue any orders, then he heard the angry voice of the Grand Inquisitor shouting there: "Find them, tear their bodies apart. Burn them alive..."

  Xiaoyao Zongzhu waved his hand, and a ray of light enveloped the seven beasts' spirits, blocking the harm caused by "God's Purification". Then, looking at the dense crowd of divine officials rushing over, he sighed and said: "Fellow Taoist, this is indeed a big trouble."

  The chief judge was the fastest, he rushed up first, saw the strange decorations of the carefree sect master and others, and was also stunned for a moment. However, with his anger burning fiercely in his heart, he didn't bother to ask anything, and slashed over with one sword, a strong sword energy sweeping towards the Empty Sky Old Ancestor, Heavenly Thunder Child, Golden True Man and others.

  It's not even possible to explain, the Chief Judge's sword move was too fast. The Void Sky Daoist could only stretch out his hand and make a false gesture, countless dragon-shaped whirlwinds appeared out of thin air, shattering the Chief Judge's sword energy. Both of their bodies trembled slightly, and they hastily retreated over a hundred meters.

  "The judge bellowed: 'It's them, don't let a single one go, they must be people from the Dark Assembly.'"

  What's going on? Kalanti and his men rushed over in a fiery manner.

  But just under three hundred meters away, a group of cavalry rushed over, with countless sword lights shooting out. The large number of disciples from the Xun Jia Sect and Wu Xing Sect, as well as the three to five disciples brought by the leader of the Xiao Yao Sect, had just arrived when they saw someone dare to attack their own master, without caring about the cause, flying swords and treasures were all shot out.

  Kalanti and the others were originally focused on Tianlei, who would have thought that a group of people would suddenly appear? In an instant, more than a dozen unlucky ones were chopped down by the sword light, their bodies shattered and fell to pieces.

  This is great, originally there was no grudge between the two sides, but because of Tian Lei Zi's one flash of lightning, they were beaten into a mess.

  The battle had just begun, and a strong wind blew up. The seven beast spirits, who were almost stripped of their skin by the holy light, regained their original shape. One by one, the huge bodies of the beasts, like mountains, frantically rushed towards Galanti and his companions. Especially the snake spirit was the most exaggerated, with its body over 10,000 meters long, its massive snake head let out a loud hiss, and green venomous saliva shot out rapidly.

  Below, the Pope also flew up to see his subordinate in a bad situation. At this moment, even if he wanted to reason with him, there was no chance to speak. It's better to take action directly. However, the Pope is still a wise and reasonable person, he doesn't want to make an enemy for no reason, so his move was slightly lighter. But those strong holy lights still made it difficult for all cultivators below Sky Emperor to block.

  Below, the leader of the black-clad group shook his head and stared blankly at the snake spirits dancing in the sky, despairingly shouting: "God, what's going on? How are we supposed to deal with this? Retreat... retreat... let those bastards in Washington find an excuse, I'm done, damn it, I have confidence in annihilating all enemies, but I don't have confidence in fighting against non-human monsters."

  The black-clad troops retreated hastily, but a wave of thunder and fire descended from the sky, cutting down thousands of soldiers. That was Huo Zhenren's wrath, summoning a heavenly fire of ten thousand feet with a wave of his hand. The remaining embers poured onto the ground, instantly setting off fires everywhere in the neighborhood.

  The Void Sky Daoist was repelled by the Pope's consecutive seven 'Sacred Light Cross Swords' for over a thousand miles, and he also became enraged, letting out a loud roar: "Fellow Daoists, disciples under my gate, use your full strength, don't let these barbarians look down on us cultivators of Middle Earth."

  Tian Lei Zi was overjoyed, and with a flick of his hand, the "Wan Lei Hong" that Tian Xin Zi had helped him refine was released. It was a round ball with countless sharp teeth, and bolts of lightning crackled and shot out from the spikes with a loud "crackling" sound, covering the sky and rushing forward.

  The chief judge was the first to bear the brunt, and a thick holy light blasted towards these thunders.

  A massive shockwave scattered, the surrounding clouds were swept away, and the gatekeepers and subordinates who were fighting on both sides were also knocked back. Tian Lei Zi didn't wait for everyone to react, and with a excited roar, he shouted: "Look at my 'Doomsday Thunder'!" With his hands forming a seal, 'Thunderclap' transformed into a ball of electricity, emitting a terrifying whistle as it shot straight towards the Judge.

  The carefree sect master shouted: "Fellow Taoist, don't...!" But how could he persuade this Thunderbolt who was short of a screw in his brain?

  The judge stared blankly at the increasingly large thunderball, which contained such a powerful energy! Those dazzling flashes of lightning, each one could destroy a mountain peak! This... Is this the Dark Council? If so, how come I've never heard of it before?

  The judge also let go, his hand flipped over, and his lightsaber returned to a small cross. The holy power surged into his body. The Pope behind him frowned slightly, flew over lightly, and pointed his finger at the back of his heart. A stronger holy power surged into his body, pouring into the small cross.

  The originally radiant cross suddenly became dull and lightless after the Pope's holy power surged in, then slowly flew out of his hand towards 'Thunderclap'.

  Both sides had long since seen the machine escape, only to see the purple lightning ball and the white cross collide gently, then disappear simultaneously, a huge fireball exploding in the sky 10,000 meters high.

  It was as if a small nuclear warhead had exploded, sweeping away the buildings in dozens of blocks below, and including the Pope and other top masters, who were blown backward for tens of thousands of meters, unable to stabilize their figures.

  The Pope looked at the miserable scene below, his anger rising, and gave a low command: " 'Judgment of God'. I will take charge."

  On this side, Kong Tian Dao Ren also knew that things couldn't be let go easily. With a determined heart, he roared: "The 'Great Five Elements Extinction Formation', let's fight them to the end."

  Tianleizi, who was still grieving over his own "Thunderclap" being hung up, suddenly regained his spirit when he heard that the Dunjia Sect and Wuxing Sect were going to make their ultimate move. He roared: "Seven Beast Spirits, 'Seven Star Convergence', coordinate with fellow Taoists, this old man's... enter his ancestral board first, fight to the death!"

  Xiaoyao Zong's master furrowed his brow and shouted loudly: "All disciples, listen to my orders, launch the 'Flying Sky Absolute Dance' with all your might."

  The two sides stood still, separated by a distance of over 30,000 meters. On the Vatican's side, all the clergy surrounded the Pope in the center and began to pray. A series of white sacred lights that seemed almost tangible slowly descended from the sky, filling the space between heaven and earth with brilliant radiance. Each person's body was enveloped in an extremely intense sacred light, and small white orbs of light rapidly rotated around the bodies of the Vatican clergy.

  On this side, the "Five Elements Extinction Formation" had also reached a critical point. Two hundred disciples of the Five Elements Sect were fighting in mid-air, their flying sword treasures floating in front of them, emitting colorful lights. The masters of the formation were the Five Elements True Person and the Old Daoist of the Void Heaven. The five true persons occupied the positions of the five elements, while the old daoist created countless residual shadows around them, circulating the air, treading the boundaries, and attracting the original power of the five elements from the surrounding heaven. A number of colorful lightning balls had appeared in mid-air, emitting strange thunderous sounds.

  The seven beasts then returned to their human form, shouting continuously from their mouths, putting away the weapons they were proud of, and sat cross-legged in a honest manner. They floated according to the position of the Big Dipper's seven stars, with flashes of lightning moving back and forth between their bodies. As for Tian Lei Zi, who was the main attacker, he occupied the position of the North Star, and all the lightning converged into his palms.

  On the other hand, the Carefree Sect might be the one that brings the greatest impact to the common people below. Countless giant golden dragons' light and shadow danced in the air, with colorful flowers blooming everywhere, music floating around, and the master of the Carefree Sect held a goose feather fan, smiling as he strolled back and forth with several disciples amidst such a magnificent scene. The golden flag gates seemed to have been thrown out casually, lightly dancing in the air without stopping.

  Below, New Yorkers were rushing to and fro, seemingly searching for a way to escape, but looking at their bewildered eyes, it was clear that they had no idea what had happened or where they should run to be safe. The brilliant colors in the sky illuminated the entire New York City area, making it breathtakingly beautiful...

  Easily stunned, he stared at the sky's strange changes. He naturally knew what those beautiful lights and shadows represented. He weakly groaned: "Escape, Cain, we'll take the people with us. Heaven knows what they want to do? Destroy all of New York? Now, escape, the faster the better. Those subordinates who can't fly, we'll take them with us. Everything, abandon it all... Quick..."

  Dekeula also felt the uneasy breath in the air, especially the pressure from above was too great, his body began to tremble, hearing Yichen's words, he didn't say a word and pulled Xue'er away, a black light escaped first...
