Chapter 807: Chapter 18 Red Bishop_3
Ah Dai had given it his all; the magic power inside him was just enough for one more strike, but to survive, he had no choice but to go all in.
The Silver Armored Warrior would not grant Ah Dai another chance for a direct confrontation; his body moved with his sword, transforming into a streak of silver light that suddenly lunged at Ah Dai.
The temperature on the Tian Gang Sword was extremely high. Ah Dai compressed all the True Qi in his body into his hands. To him, the silvery light in front of him was like the waves crashing against the shore - although fierce in momentum, the force was not concentrated. Without any hesitation, he executed the same Splitting Chop move, only this time, the Tian Gang Sword was glowing with a white light tinged with blue.
The Silver Armored Warrior made another miscalculation. He could distinctly feel that if he penetrated Ah Dai’s vital points, his own body would inevitably be struck by Ah Dai’s fierce attack, which was not something that could be withstood by the physical body alone. The space inside the hall was already narrow, crowded with many people, and the Barrier set up by the Red Bishop was small. This environment did not allow Ying San to utilize his skill advantage. In an instant, Ying San made a decision, prioritizing his own life above all. With no other choice, he changed his move mid-air and forcibly blocked Ah Dai’s Tian Gang Sword.
This move cost the Silver Armored Warrior dearly. With no ground to stand on mid-air and adjusting his move last-minute without fully gathering his power, he was immediately sent flying by Ah Dai’s all-out strike. The searing flames also burned much of his golden hair as he staggeringly retreated to the edge of the Barrier to stabilize himself.
Ah Dai wasn’t faring well either; while the previous sword strike was not his most devastating, he was left with less than twenty percent of his strength, making another similar attack impossible.
Ying San was furious, his fighting spirit surged as he prepared to give his full effort. Ah Dai had burned his hair, igniting a murderous intent in his eyes.
"Enough, stop," just as Ying San was about to charge, he was stopped by an invisible Barrier. With the Red Bishop’s perceptiveness, how could he not see that Ah Dai was already exhausted?
Ah Dai breathed a sigh of relief, supporting his body with the Tian Gang Sword, gasping for breath, while the True Qi inside him circulated endlessly. However, recovering to optimal condition was not a matter of a moment.
A flash of red light, and the Red Bishop appeared in front of him. The Bishop’s slender hand landed on Ah Dai’s shoulder, "With the Power of God, I restore thy strength. O great God of the Heavenly Realm, please grant strength to your most loyal disciple. Let the light expel darkness, and may the Sky God forever bless you. Divine Blessing." A white light emanated from the hands of the Red Bishop and instantly enveloped Ah Dai’s entire body.
Ah Dai was startled and quickly mobilized his remaining True Qi to completely envelop the Sword of Hades in his chest. He dared not imagine the consequences if the high priest from the Church knew he carried the Sword of Hades.
The light emitted by the Red Bishop was so warm and gentle. The True Qi inside Ah Dai recovered rapidly amid the immense Sacred Aura. In just a moment, it had already surpassed his original energy level. Ah Dai’s body jolted, the surging True Qi in his body instantaneously broke through a blockage in a meridian at his chest, the vast Qi, like the roaring sea, rapidly filled his Dantian and all the meridians around his body under his control. Ah Dai was overjoyed as he finally overcame the final barrier of the fourth level of the Life Decree, reaching the fifth level of Realm. All of this was accomplished with the help of the Red Bishop in front of him. The Bishop retracted his hand, yet the white light on Ah Dai’s body did not diminish in the slightest, a voice emerged in Ah Dai’s heart, "Young friend, you are called Ah Dai, right? Since you are connected with the Tian Gang Sword Sect, I can rest assured. You promised my daughter that you’d be her attendant, I hope you fulfill this promise. Your True Qi has now reached the fifth level, usually sufficient for self-protection. My daughter is quite mischievous; I hope you can be patient with her. For the moment, I will not take her back; letting her experience the hardships of the human world is good. Let’s set a limit of one year. If you encounter any danger in the future, open the scroll in your hands. Also, the ring on the index finger of your left hand looks very familiar to me. I will consult with the Pope about it later; it must be a Divine Artifact. Take good care of it. If my daughter becomes sensible after a year, I will recommend you to the Court of Justice at the Church. For now, you mustn’t move, you need to circulate your True Qi for forty-nine cycles to fully reach the fifth level of Realm."
Ah Dai certainly didn’t dare to move, the surging True Qi within him nearly burst his body, but fortunately, he remembered the practice method for the fifth level and quickly circulated it. The Red Bishop’s words deeply imprinted in his mind, his body warmed, and he fully entered a meditative state.
The Red Bishop sighed softly, turned toward Kigg, and said, "From now on, none of you touch him. In due time, he will awaken on his own. If my daughter returns, you don’t have to report to the Church. Let’s go." After speaking, he floated up and led the White Robe Priest and more than a dozen Silver Armored Warriors away from the Mage Guild.
As soon as the Red Bishop and his subordinates disappeared, Kigg collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by the strong Sacred Aura. His undergarment and Magic Robe were completely soaked with sweat. Now, he finally understood why the Church’s power was so formidable. If his guess was right, the Bishop just now definitely had the strength of a Mage.
