Chapter 19: Darkness Descends (Please collect and recommend)

  Yu Feng was just about to sneak into York Minster at night when he suddenly stopped because he found that someone else had also sneaked in quietly.

  From the swift yet cautious movements of those black-clad figures, it was clear that their target was also this ill-fated York Minster. Yu Feng's heart was filled with joy at this sight, but he also became even more careful in concealing his own presence. If their power was enough to destroy the cathedral, then Yu Feng had no intention of taking action. Their strength wasn't weak either, with at least two people having the ability of a late-stage Qi Refiner, so Yu Feng only planned to reap some benefits from behind the scenes, after all, it was better for him to expose himself as little as possible and not take action if he didn't have to.

  Soon, a sharp cry erupted inside, and in just a moment, various killing sounds appeared. Yu Feng quietly followed behind them, and when they were fiercely fighting, no one noticed that there was another man wearing black clothes floating leisurely in the air above their heads, watching a big show unfold.

  After watching the two church disciples exchange blows, I found that most of them were using physical strength, using the purest power to fight, without any techniques to speak of. Only a few leading disciples would use some shallow magic, and their power was weak in Yu Feng's eyes.

  Due to being caught off guard, the priests of the Church of Light were at a disadvantage, with people constantly losing their lives and blood splattering everywhere. The mournful cries in this quiet night seemed even more terrifying.

  "Insignificant dark creatures, how dare you attack our church? God will surely send you to hell. Omnipotent Lord, grant me strength! Blade of light!" A priest in white robes cursed at the two black-robed men who led the way.

  "Your God of Light has long abandoned you, no need to pretend to pray, it's useless, just give up on that idea." A man in black robes laughed loudly, not putting the light blade in his eyes at all, and with a wave of his hand, the light blade disappeared into thin air.

  Just as he was about to win in the dark, Yu Feng hid his figure again because he felt three strong auras rushing over quickly. It seemed that he still had to take action, Yu Feng thought, planning to launch a sneak attack, anyway, it was fine as long as he could hide his true strength.

  "Halt, you dare! Judgment of Light!" The three of them instantly arrived inside the church and found that hundreds of priests were almost dead, with only a dozen or so barely holding on. Seeing the white-robed bishop in extreme danger, they hastily launched a Judgment of Light.

  "Haha, too late! I said Saint Knight Raiden, didn't you come after he died? The coordination between the two leaders was very clever. One blocked the judgment light, and the other had already killed the Archbishop of that region in an instant. The two looked at the three reinforcements who came, but they were always depressed in their hearts. How did these three people end up here? It's probably going to be a loss even if York Cathedral is destroyed, after all, these are elite troops."

  "You despicable people in the dark, dare to sneak attack on the sacred York Cathedral. Today, I will leave you all here in the name of God and let you atone for your evil deeds." The holy knight named Raiden said, and the two red-robed archbishops beside him immediately began to pray.

  Unfortunately, the two red-robed high priests had not finished their prayers when three black beads flew in front of them, exploding with a loud bang. One of the high priests who was slightly closer died on the spot, and the other one was almost dead, losing all ability to move. However, Lei Dun was practicing a special body technique, reacting the fastest, and immediately shifted his position by three feet when the black beads attacked. It was unknown what he wore on his body, but although he also suffered from the aftermath of the explosion, Lei Dun himself was not seriously injured, only a bit disheveled, with his hair standing straight up, and his originally handsome Western face now covered in black soot.

  The move was just a casual one, but the three Dry Heaven Thunderclap Fruits he threw out had such an effect that even he felt surprised. It seems like he'll have to prepare more in the future, he thought to himself, and with a wave of his hand, he used the Asura Flag to collect the souls of those people on the scene. After that, Yu Feng floated down from mid-air.

  Everyone was stunned and stopped fighting. They looked at Yu Feng in their hearts, thinking, what kind of person is this? He can actually kill one red-robed archbishop with a swing of his hand and seriously injure another. Is he a devil sent by the Demon Lord?

  But their astonishment did not stop there, as Yu Feng immediately deployed three Shura flags to form a San Cai Zhen Fa in an instant, enveloping the other Holy Knight who was less injured inside, and his hands quickly formed countless seals at a speed that was imperceptible to the human eye.

  "The Yellow Spring beckons, ten thousand ghosts devour souls, hasten!" Yu Feng's face was tense as he urged the Shura flag with all his might, causing the three black flags to form a space in an instant. The space was filled with water from the Yellow Spring, and within that water were vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts, rushing towards the Holy Knight. From the outside, it could only be seen that the three flags moved slightly without wind, then fell silent.

  When I, Feng, retrieved the three Shura flags, all that was left on the ground was a set of armor and a long spear. The blood, flesh, and soul of that Holy Knight had been completely absorbed by the Shura flags. Just as I was about to pick up the armor to examine it, wondering what material it was made of that could protect the Holy Knight so perfectly in such an intense explosion.

  At this time, the holy knight's armor and long spear suddenly burst out with a white light. Yu Feng hastily waved his hand to set up over ten restrictions, but the armor and spear pierced through those restrictions in an instant, flying towards the west at a speed that was almost impossible for the naked eye to discern, as if those restrictions didn't exist at all. Even Yu Feng's speed couldn't catch up, leaving behind only a white light in people's eyes.

  Yu Feng felt a pang of regret in his heart, because if he had acted earlier, they might not have been able to escape, but he had underestimated them too much. The fact that the master's death would automatically cause them to flee made Yu Feng's heart skip a beat, because this armor was clearly capable of greatly enhancing a person's defense, and they seemed to have generated their own spiritual energy, just like those rare and precious artifacts known as "xianqi" or "growth-type" magical treasures. Could it be that these were actually xianqi?

  According to what he knew, the Vatican had a total of twelve sets of such clothes, which means they had twelve people who could counter the initial stage of the Divine Spirit's power. However, this was not absolute, as those armors could withstand the physical attacks of the Divine Spirit's cultivation for one strike, but their effect on spiritual defense seemed to be minimal. Thinking of this, Yu Feng's heart slightly reduced its worries, after all, he still had to deal with the current situation first.

  Those dark cultists were all agape, staring at the young man in green with incredulous eyes. They suspected that this youth was made of some extraordinary material. If it wasn't enough to shock them that he had instantly killed one red-robed archbishop and severely injured another, then his casual wave of hand annihilating a perfectly healthy holy knight was beyond their comprehension.

  Those men in black stood still, not daring to move, including the two leaders. In the West, people only respect the strong. Before they speak or are allowed to speak, they do not dare to open their mouths randomly. Who knows what this incredibly powerful stranger will do? He just killed two red-robed high priests and a holy knight, Raiden, with just a wave of his hand. So they all just stood there quietly, watching the strong man as if he was thinking about something.

  "Are you all from the Dark Church?" Yu Feng asked those black-clad men in a low voice.

  "Yes, the strong one from the East, you can call me Arnold, and this is my brother Morale. Thank you for your timely assistance today, or else our Carol family would have suffered a great loss tonight. Also, the holy robes left on the ground by the Holy Knight earlier are the legacy of the Church, they will immediately fly back to headquarters once their master dies in battle. Our Dark Church has always been opposed to the Light Church, although we have killed many Light Holy Knights before, but no one has ever managed to keep these holy robes and holy guns behind. So, sir, you don't need to feel strange about this." The black-robed man who was leading stepped forward and respectfully said to Yu Feng.

  "Oh, Arnold, alright, I remember you, let's leave here first, there are already many people rushing over here." Yu Feng sensed that more than 20 li away, there were over a dozen Bright Church followers who could be considered top-notch experts rushing over. Although he wasn't afraid of these people, he had even more important plans to complete, so today he wouldn't kill them again either.

  Arnold and Mole, along with the dozen or so black-clad men, followed Yu Feng to the outskirts of the city. Yu Feng casually set up a formation to conceal their figures.

  "Alright, let's take a break here. Those people won't find us, I've set up an array here, so we can talk freely now. What I want to know is, has your Dark Church already clashed with the Light Church? Otherwise, why would you concentrate your forces to destroy a large cathedral? In my knowledge of history, this only happens when you and the Light Church are at war, otherwise it's usually peaceful, at most just some small skirmishes." Yufeng asked them, puzzled by their risky move to destroy a large cathedral.

  "Yes, sir. The Dark Council has made a decision because something seems to have happened with the Light Church and they seem to have some big plan, mobilizing many people in various places. We are worried that it is aimed at the Dark Church, so we want to take advantage of their current situation where the power in each region is relatively empty, and everyone will go separately to destroy some churches, in order to reduce their influence on the local area." Arnold replied.

  "Oh, I see. You don't have to call me 'sir' either. From the fact that you can speak the language of Zhongtu, you should know that I am a Taoist from Zhongtu, and my Taoist name is Qingxuan. The plan made by the Church of Light is to send troops to conquer Zhongtu in the east. They sent many people to spread their teachings in Zhongtu, but several months ago, I... eliminated them. This time, they must be sending more people again, so I came here to take a look at their strength. Tonight, I happened to run into you and rescued you on a whim." Yufeng said nonchalantly, the news of the Church's eastern expedition would soon spread throughout the Western world, but Yufeng had been keeping this from these people.
