Chapter 613: Chapter 169: One Against Three_3
Turns out, as Xuan Yue was about to descend the altar, she utilized space magic and teleported the Ring of Guardian she had been clutching into Ah Dai’s palm, along with a few words of encouragement. With Xuan Yue’s encouragement, Ah Dai’s confidence soared. He opened his palm to look at the still-warm white ring. Excitement surged within him, and his body even trembled slightly. He knew that, even if Xuan Yue hadn’t forgiven him completely, she was still in love with him, she still cared for his safety. That was already more than enough.
With a sweeping gesture, the pope floated towards the entrance of the Temple of Light in a golden glow, commanding in a deep voice,"Ah Dai has blasphemed the Sky God on the Light Altar. I hereby command Xuan Ye, Yu Jian, Mang Siu, the three red robe priests, to punish him as they see fit, regardless of life and death, within half an hour. Begin." Under the pope’s command, the three priests simultaneously released a dazzling white light. Mang Siu and Yu Jian swung their right hands at Ah Dai, each emanating a light blade filled with a sacred aura. Xuan Ye chanted spells with the Wrath of the Gods emanating golden light in his hands. They were well aware of the power of Ah Dai’s martial arts and knew they must not give him the upper hand. Having served as red robe priests together for many years, they had developed a deep understanding of each other, so Mang Siu and Yu Jian abandoned high-level magic, planning to use low-level magic to keep Ah Dai occupied, giving Xuan Ye the opportunity to use high-level magic.
Ah Dai’s eyes sparkled with determination, and he snorted softly as he conjured silver light shields in both hands. He stood his ground against the two incoming light blades. Loud noises echoed as white light particles flew in all directions on the Light Altar. Ah Dai’s right foot sleekly made its move, darting towards Mang Siu like a flash of lightning. The pope’s biggest mistake was letting the three red robe priests fight Ah Dai in such a confined space as the Light Altar. Ah Dai understood magic and martial arts well. In this small space, he would naturally strive for the upper hand, denying the three priests the chance to cast grand magic. By the time Ah Dai’s blue figure appeared in front of Mang Siu, the pope had already realized the problem, yet it was too late to change anything. It all came down to the three red robe priests themselves.
Mang Siu, one of the four red robe priests, was naturally remarkable in his abilities. Though startled by the speed at which Ah Dai rushed towards him, he didn’t panic. A glimmer of gold appeared in his hand and a golden tulip bloomed in front of him. Mang Siu yelled:"Dance of the Radiant Light!" Golden light suddenly bloomed in front of him, countless golden energy particles transformed into a tornado-like formation rushed towards Ah Dai. Spectators around the altar were captivated by the dazzling energy display. This was Mang Siu’s unique skill. He had spent decades compressing light elements into the golden tulip he held. This allowed him to summon a powerful light magic spell in the shortest time. Based on this compressed energy of the tulip, Mang Siu developed this Dance of the Radiant Light, specifically for self-defense. Every petal of energy emitted packs a formidable magic power. Each sharp petal has incredible piercing power that could easily kill. Mang Siu’s research of this magic was recently completed, and even if he exhausted the energy of the tulip at once, he could still create another one in a short time.
Seeing the golden petals glow in front of Mang Siu, Ah Dai was taken aback. However, having achieved the sixth stage of his transformation, his solid energy didn’t fear magic with less power, his formidable experience told him to continue his attack. Instead of stopping, he increased his speed, moving his hands in quick succession, evoking various hand formations. A surging mass of compressed silver energy seeped out of every part of his body and straightforwardly barged into the energy vortex made up of tulip petals. The petals containing dominant energy couldn’t produce their true power under his relentless assault. The golden and silver light continuously exploded in the air, with the golden petals gradually disappearing in the dazzling process. After breaking Mang Siu’s Dance of Radiant Light, the silver energy immediately moved towards him. Mang Siu clenched his teeth and palms together, hiding the tulip inside. When the silver energy reached about a foot in front of him, he suddenly opened his palms and pushed forward. A massive beam of golden energy rushed out, an energy beam of highly compressed pure light elements. While it didn’t completely cancel out the silver energy, it scattered it, preventing it from hurting Mang Siu.
Ah Dai was surprised, thinking, these red robe priests are indeed as formidable as rumored, it’s not easy fighting them! However, Mang Siu’s tenacious resistance thoroughly sparked Ah Dai’s will to fight. He shouted out loud, not avoiding the enormous light energy that came at him. Instead, he conjured a massive silver Energy Sword that was five feet long, three inches thick, and half a foot wide and sliced it towards the incoming light pillar. There was a hissing noise, like metal friction, and the light pillar, condensed with large amounts of Mang Siu’s magic power was split in half by Ah Dai’s sword. The golden energy washed to both sides of him without causing any harm. As Ah Dai advanced with his sword, the Silver Giant Sword mercilessly slashed towards Mang Siu. The massive energy that it brought forth terrified Mang Siu. Never had he thought that even after he had sacrificed the tulip, which he had spent a long time condensing, he couldn’t even stop Ah Dai’s attack. The Silver Giant Sword made him feel death was near for the first time since becoming a red robe priest. There just wasn’t enough time to cast a high-level spell. Helplessly, he exhausts all his magic power to create a golden energy barrier in front of him. Although he knew that it wasn’t enough to defend against Ah Dai’s attack, he was left with no other choice.
