C276 Life-and-death Duel(part I)

The night was cloudy like the bottom of a pot, and the surroundings of the Zurich church were cold and gloomy.

"Kid, I want you to know the glory of the Church!" Benedict's wrist trembled slightly as he gripped the scepter in his hand. His hands rubbed it incessantly, and his right hand was placed before his forehead. Then, he pressed it tightly against his forehead. His lips moved, and the psalms were recited unceasingly …

An incomparably powerful Essence Qi began to condense around his body, and the Essence in the surroundings started to become disordered. The street lamps beside him flickered on and off, and the lights in the surrounding residential district suddenly went out.

Avril, who was standing beside Benedict XVI, was surprised at first. He frowned as he listened to the incomprehensible incantation. It sounded like it came from somewhere far away. Very quickly, she seemed to hear from the incantation a sharp sound similar to a steel saw rubbing against each other. An incomparably shocking momentum rose up into the sky!

Avril was stunned, and a look of pain appeared on her face. Blood gushed out of her neck, and her ears were covered in blood.

A sinister smile appeared on Benedict's face as he lowered his arm. After that, he placed the scepter in front of him and pressed his left hand down tightly on the scepter. The radiance suddenly rose, dazzling everyone's eyes.

The white light that shot into the sky followed the spiritual energy that Lin Bai sent out. A few street lamps by the side of the street cracked and crackled together, causing the surrounding sky to darken. The fierce white aura seemed to have broken free from the shackles of time and space, arriving in front of the Zurich Cathedral in an instant!

"It's finally here!" Lin Bai's face darkened, and his steps rapidly changed. His eyes shone with a deep light as he constantly chanted incantations. An intense aura began to fill the Zurich cathedral, and the ornaments that hung there rustled like water in a stream.

The incantation that was quickly recited by Lin Bai was quickly drowned out by the sounds of the ornaments colliding with each other.

At this moment, Lin Bai's expression was solemn and his concentration was at its highest. He held his right hand horizontally in front of his chest, his palm facing upwards as if carrying some unknown utensil. His left hand formed a sword sign in front of his chest, drawing a strange arc in the air.

His eyes were focused on the movements of his hands. Occasionally, they would suddenly combine into a palm and push forward. It was as if he was pushing something forward and then return to his original state.

Invisible talismans formed one after another in the air, then stacked together. The energy within the church surged forward one after another, then layered over the next, covering the entire sky as it swept forward. At the same time, Benedict XVI's white ray broke through the bindings of the cathedral and rushed in front of Lin Bai. However, it was blocked by the talisman, and then the light surged as it enveloped Lin Bai.

After coming into contact with the white light, cracks began to appear on the talismans in the air in front of Lin Bai. Soon after, the cracks were covered by the talismans that appeared again. Splitting, gathering, covering, repeating again and again.

Lin Bai had never experienced such immense pressure before. Even the talismans that formed around him could only watch as they blocked the powerful attack of the opponent's holy light, preventing his mind and body from being struck by it!

Lin Bai also discovered that within that holy light, there was even a constant chanting of hymns. It was like a great bell ringing in his ears as if it wanted to penetrate into his mind, yet it also wanted to rise up from the bottom of his feet to attack his body. His entire body felt a needle-like pain, like countless ants gushing out from the ground and wildly biting at him.

Lin Bai continued to stabilize his mind, making sure that he was not affected by the illusion formed by the Holy Light. He continued to draw talismans in the air with both hands, and then lightly slapped his hands in front of him. However, that bone-piercing, itchy feeling only grew clearer and clearer. It was clear enough that even his soul couldn't help but tremble lightly. A trace of disorder even started to appear in his mind …

After all, ever since Lin Bai started his career, he had very rarely fought against an opponent on equal terms with him. Furthermore, he had very little experience in a life-and-death battle like this.

At this moment, at the side of the road, about a kilometer away, Avril could no longer endure the sound that almost made her collapse. On the edge of the road, about a kilometer away, Avril could no longer endure the sound that could almost collapse her mind.

At this time, Benedict 16 did not care about what Avril did anymore. He had already put away his previous arrogance and contempt towards Lin Bai, and did not dare to be careless at all. He carefully used the scepter to mobilize the combined energy and will of the Vatican cardinal and the cardinals to attack Lin Bai, wanting to destroy Lin Bai's consciousness in one go and break his mental state!

However, at this moment, Benedict XVI was not in a good mood either. On the surface, the spiritual energy that Lin Bai had emitted earlier was extremely powerful, and even though it was menacing, he easily received it. Then, Benedict XVI began to look down on Lin Bai's level, and began to take the second spiritual energy attack lightly.

However, Benedict would never have imagined that Lin Bai would play a trick to trap him. After the second wave of spiritual energy invaded his body, the spiritual energy's momentum was astonishing, and it was extremely tenacious. It directly penetrated through his body and struck his mind.

At the same time, Benedict XVI was extremely shocked by Lin Bai's impenetrable defense. He did not understand how Lin Bai had managed to block his own magical attack, which had gathered all the cardinals and cardinals of the Vatican. This was simply unbelievable! Could it be that he had an inherited treasure from the Chinese technique, something similar to the Yang Pingzhi Seal of Avril?

As he thought of this, Benedict clenched his teeth and made up his mind. After defeating Lin Bai, he would thoroughly explore this boy's secrets!

In a match between two masters, a flash of telepathic thoughts could determine the course of the battle. In the instant that Benedict was puzzled, a crack appeared in his mind. The Baleful Yin Force in Lin Bai's attack abruptly soared, rushing into Benedict's mind!

Benedict was shocked beyond words. If not for the Saint Peter's scepter and the blessings of many of the Vatican's bishops, he would have been crushed with this blow! After restraining his mind, Benedict bit down on the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of his heart's blood on the scepter. He then recited a hymn to rid his mind of the Yin energy!

What shocked him was that the Baleful Yin Force that Lin Bai was attacking came in wave after wave, and wave after wave of force was gradually increasing in strength, like a wave on the sea, wave after wave that had yet to calm down. The waves were heavy and angry, layer upon layer, finally forming a monstrous wave that swept towards him, as if it was going to destroy the world!

One must know that in the struggle between the Gate of Wonder's techniques, the mental and physical strength of both sides was the most taxing. Both sides were constantly losing energy, but from this wave of Baleful Yin Force, Benedict could not find the slightest weakness of Lin Bai's technique!

In the witchhunt, Benedict XVI could be said to have defeated those dark sorcerers with a single move. He had never experienced such an intense battle.

But today, he encountered an unprecedented opponent — Lin Bai. He had an innate skill like Luo Shu, a secret treasure that could shake the world and make the gods cry. Each move was completely different from an ordinary person's. Moreover, each move was increasingly sharp, as if they were boiling oil, and each attack was rising in intensity!

Benedict could feel that his mental state was on the verge of collapse, but he was still unable to escape from this battle. As his mind trembled, waves of dizziness came to him one after another. His throat was dry and still carried a little sweetness.

Benedict didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He bit down on the tip of his tongue again, and spat out another mouthful of his heart's blood onto the scepter. The radiance that had originally been slightly dimmed swelled once more, dazzling the darkness of the night. Benedict's face, which was filled with benevolence, distorted violently like that of a devil's.

At this moment, Lin Bai's body was also trembling nonstop. The itchiness throughout his body was getting increasingly stronger, and his brain was also getting increasingly heavy. The scenery before his eyes became even more blurry. Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Bai gripped his right hand tightly and formed the shape of a plum blossom before suddenly punching forward! He knew that Benedict XVI would definitely not be in a good mood compared to him!

However, at this moment, the cardinals and cardinals within the Vatican all stood up. They untied their robes, picked up their knives, and stabbed them into their hearts! Crimson blood poured into the formation around St. Peter's Cathedral. Red light flashed as the Vatican's prayers were heard and the statue of Jesus in the middle of the shrine was illuminated!

Benedict XVI's eyes widened and he held onto the scepter with both hands. He shouted angrily, "When I saw that precious blood spring that was about to wash away all my sins, I heard the Holy Spirit say in my heart," Are you willing to cleanse this place?!

"All the people shall return to the Lord, for His blood shall wash away the sins of the masses, and they shall praise the holy name of Jesus, and the Lord shall love to take in sinners, and for nothing shall he forgive me all my sins, and wash away my heart of filth!"

As Benedict XVI chanted, the light on the scepter grew even brighter, and the attack power also increased exponentially. The talismans that were condensed in the air around Lin Bai shattered, and the holy light wrapped around the talisman poured into Lin Bai's body like a flood, swallowing him whole!

Lin Bai's mind was in a mess. Taking advantage of the last bit of clarity in his consciousness, he bit down on the tip of his tongue and formed a seal with his right hand.

Puff! Lin Bai vomited a mouthful of blood onto the ground!

The Innate Luoshen Book in his mind began to spin in a strange way, as if it was the cause of all the living creatures in the world to spin. The Essence in the church began to fluctuate in a strange way, like the strings of a beautiful melody, and then an extremely simple book appeared above Lin Bai's head, floating under the black light, protecting Lin Bai's body!

Lin Bai closed his eyes and raised his right hand to his heart. Then, he bit open his index finger and quickly drew in the air, lightly shouting, "All things have a spirit, gather! "Disperse!"

The Holy Light rushed towards the book and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

The inside of the cathedral became deathly still. All the light was cut off, and it was pitch-black.
