Chapter 70: Chapter 18 Red Bishop_3
Ah Dai was already using all his magic power, it was barely enough to launch one attack, but in order to survive, he had no choice but to go all out.
The Silver Armored Warrior wouldn’t give Ah Dai another chance to clash head-on. His body followed the movement of his sword, turning into a silvery illusion and swiftly rushing towards Ah Dai.
The Tian Gang Sword was extremely hot. Ah Dai compressed all his True Qi into his hands. In his view, the silver light before him was like waves crashing against the sea, although its momentum was turbulent, its power was not concentrated. Without any hesitation, he countered with the same splitting chop attack, only this time, his Tian Gang Sword was glowing with a blue light underneath the white.
The Silver Armored Warrior made another miscalculation: he clearly felt that if his attack hit Ah Dai’s vital point, his own body would inevitably be split by Ah Dai’s strong attack, an assault that physical body alone could not withstand. The inner chamber was small and packed with people, the Barrier the Red Bishop had set up was not large, curtailing Ying San’s potential and advantage. In the blink of an eye, Ying San decided that his own life was more important. Under reluctant circumstances, he had to change his attack in mid-air and fiercely block Ah Dai’s Tian Gang Sword.
The loss the Silver Armored Warrior suffered was huge this time around. He was in the air with no grounded footing, and his energy yet to be fully gathered, was instantly sent flying by Ah Dai’s full-strength attack. The intense flames also singed off some of his golden hair, and he staggered in retreat to the edge of the Barrier to stabilize his body.
Ah Dai was not in a good spot either: His sword strike, yielded less than 20% of its power. It was impossible for him to launch another identical attack.
Enraged, Ying San’s fighting spirit abruptly increased; he was about to make his all-out effort. Ah Dai had burned his hair, and a murderous intent had already appeared in his eyes.
"Enough, stop." Ying San, who was about to pounce, was blocked by an invisible barrier. Given the Red Bishop’s perception, how could he not see that Ah Dai had exhausted his strength?
Ah Dai sighed in relief, leaning on the Tian Gang Sword to support his body, panting incessantly. His body’s True Qi was circulating ceaselessly, but it would take quite a while for him to recover to his optimum condition. A flash of red light, and the Red Bishop had already appeared in front of him. His slender hand pressed on Ah Dai’s shoulder, saying, "I shall restore your strength with the power of God. O Great God of the Heavenly Realm, please bestow your power upon your most faithful believer. Let the light dispel the darkness, let the Sky God forever bless you. Divine Blessing." White light emerged from the Red Bishop’s hand, enveloping Ah Dai’s entire body in an instant.
Ah Dai was startled and hurriedly mobilized his last bit of True Qi to completely envelop the Sword of Hades in his chest. He dared not imagine the consequences if the Red Bishop were to discover he was carrying it.
The luminous aura emitted by the Red Bishop was warm and gentle. Ah Dai’s True Qi was rapidly recovering under his vast sacred aura. In just a moment, it had already surpassed its original strength. Suddenly Ah Dai’s body trembled, and the surging True Qi instantly broke through a barrier of meridians in his chest. The tremendous True Qi, like an enormous sea, filled his Dantian and the meridians around his body under Ah Dai’s control. Ah Dai was overjoyed, because he had finally broken through the last obstacle of the fourth layer of his secret technique, reaching the fifth realm. However, all this was accomplished with the help of the Red Bishop in front of him. When the Red Bishop withdrew his hand, the white light on Ah Dai’s body showed no signs of fading. A voice echoed in Ah Dai’s heart, "Young man, your name is Ah Dai, right? Since you are related to the Tian Gang Sword Sect, I can rest assured. You said you promised my daughter to be her follower. I hope you can keep this promise. Your True Qi has reached the Fifth Realm, in general, it’s enough for self-protection. My daughter is too naughty, I hope you can put up with her a little more. For now, I won’t take her back. It’s good to let her experience more of the hardships on the earth’s surface. Let’s set a limit of one year. If you encounter any danger in the future, you can open the scroll in your hand. Also, your left index finger ring seems familiar to me. When I return, I will consult with the Pope. It must be a Divine Artifact, preserve it well. If my daughter behaves better in a year, I will introduce you to the Church’s Court of Justice. Now, you mustn’t move. You must circulate your True Qi through 49 times before you can fully reach the Fifth Realm."
Of course, Ah Dai dared not move. His True Qi was surging so tumultuously that it almost burst his body. Fortunately, he remembered the cultivation mantra for the fifth layer and quickly began to circulate it. The Red Bishop’s words were imprinted deeply in his heart, and within moments, he had entered a trance-like state.
The Red Bishop sighed faintly and turned to Kigg, "From now on, none of you should touch him. He will wake up on his own after a while. If my daughter returns, you don’t need to report to the church anymore. Let’s go." After he finished speaking, he floated out, leading the White Robe Priest and more than ten Silver Armored Warriors out of the Mage Guild.
As soon as the Red Bishop and his men disappeared, Kigg collapsed to the ground. The immense sacred aura was too overpowering for him. His inner robe and Magic Robe were already completely soaked in sweat. Now, he finally understood why the Church was so powerful. If his guess was correct, the bishop, should undoubtedly possess the strength of a Magician.
