354 I Have a Special Way to Find the Real Killer (1/2)
”Three days have passed. Are you going to be a little darling and open the gate, or do I have to trouble myself to open the door for you?”
That rolling-thunder-like voice swept the entire city. The roar of the mad dog Supreme Tian Yue actually changed the sky. The initially clear sunny sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. The Holy Dome in the Holy Cathedral of Holy Light Religion was also covered with a layer of black haze.
Seeing this scene, Wang Lu sighed with emotion that the moniker Mad Dog of Shengjing really lived up to his reputation. Supreme Tian Yue was a Unity Stage Elder, so his strength was truly not weak, but if converted into Western Continent standard, he was nothing more than just passing the threshold of Legendary level. Even if he came from a top-level sect and thus his real strength was a bit higher than his cultivation base, he was still on the same level as Aya, not enough to wage a frontal assault against the powerhouses of Holy Light Religion, let alone run into other people's front door and clamor for a challenge.
Regardless, Supreme Tian Yue was indeed truly arrogant. Previously, seeing this mad dog biting people in the ancient sword tomb made him real sick. However, now they were on the same side and faced the same opponents. This time, his dog bark sounded really sweet!
”Pitiful unbeliever, the glory of Holy Light must not be blasphemed by anyone!”
Suddenly, a white-golden beam of light shot straight into the sky from the Holy Dome of the Holy Cathedral, which dispersed the thick clouds and allowed the sun light to pour down, shining on everything.
At this time, an old man wearing a long-gown with white, gold, and red colors, slowly stepped out of the doorway of the Holy Cathedral. He held a crooked scepter in his hand as he walked upfront. His steps were slow, but each step spanned a very long distance. And it was not a horizontal step either, but rather he was seemingly climbing an invisible ladder. In just three steps, he had climbed a one-kilometer in height. And along with his walk, the light from the sky gradually converged together with the old man, which also triggered a resonance with the Holy City of Taobao below the old man.
The Holy Light from the ground and the Holy Light from the sky converged together, which formed a Holy Light ring in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, it spread around hundreds of miles away. And within the halo ring, everything was revived and full of vigor.
At the same time, in Holy City, many of the closed doors were opened, and haggard looking inhabitants took to the streets and prostrated on the ground, worshipping the figure in the sky. From their reverent sound, Wang Lu learned the identity of that person.
The leader of Holy Light Religion, ranked number one among the millions upon millions of Holy Light Religion believer, Pope Billy the III.
Although he has been the enemy of Holy Light since a long time ago, this was the first time he saw the leader of the church. Pope Billy the III did not appear to be a dignified leader, but… even if he was a dog, if the light from the ground and the sky gathered together and in a single breath that light shone everything around it, it would still appear infinitely majestic.
Wang Lu had faced the church's Holy Ones in the King's Treasure House, but most of their strength was suppressed by the sea of clouds. However, now he saw the Pope whose strength was the number one in the whole continent. Moreover, at the moment, the Pope didn't hold back his strength, his full power could be seen in the sweeping wave of Holy Light. Wang Lu really wanted to thank Golden King for sending him to Taobao City.
The true Legendary level Holy One possessed the strength that was far beyond imagination. Were it not for this city able to resonate with the Pope, thus unaffected by the wave of Holy Light ring, merely the light that was breathed out by the Pope was enough to purify him, the Eastern heretic. Even if his Non-Phase Sword Defense was very good at defense, it could not offset the huge difference between him and the church.
For such an opponent, even if he used to fight people that were a lot stronger than him, not to mention being hostile, Wang Lu did not want to face such an enemy no matter what.
However, right now, he didn't need to worry about how to deal with the Pope. Wang Lu would just be an onlooker as the mad dog Supreme Tian Yue actively tried to bite this hardest bone in the Western Continent.
”Tsk, tsk, the number one Legendary level person in the Western Continent against the number one mad dog of Nine Regions. For this match, it is justified for me to bring out my years of stage props collection!”
With that, he took out a collection of props from his mustard seed bag: a large bucket of honey grapefruit tea, a large bag of popcorn, and several small stools. And then he found a shade to sit back and rest. By virtue of his amazing eyesight as a cultivator, he could see the scene in the sky in panoramic view.
On one side, backed by Holy City, Pope Billy the III was brimming with Holy Light Religion power. On the other side, a single fighter Supreme Tian Yue stood on lumps of dark clouds. Separated by air, the two looked at each other while keeping their emotions inside, but the confrontation of imposing manner gradually unfolded.
It stood to reason that the strength of Supreme Tian Yue was slightly inferior to that of the Pope. However, at this time, far away, the devastating and monstrous power of dark clouds that have just been dispersed a moment ago had begun to gather once again. Those dense dark clouds were like a lid, which caused the church of the Holy City to seem like an isolated island. Suddenly, the imposing momentum of Supreme Tianyue didn't lag far behind.
”... Interesting, in the end, the division of strength between Western Continent and Nine Regions is wrong. The so-called legendary level profession is not as powerful as imagined. Or did Tian Yue breakthrough in the recent months?”
A few months ago, when they first met in the Ancient Sword Tomb, Supreme Tian Yue has just entered the Unity Stage, or was a single step away from Deity Stage. Compared to the ancient times, there were more cultivators who were trapped in the Peak Deity Stage during the current era. In this point, Supreme Tian Yue was indeed extremely lucky. However, to go a step further, it would be as difficult as ascending the heaven. And based on Tian Yue, how could it be that easy for him to have a breakthrough?
”Forget it, no use in thinking about it. I'll just wait and see.”
Wang Lu shook his head and greeted Aya and the others who had just been woken up by Liu Li.
”Aya, Liu Li, Little Bai, take your seat, the show is about to begin… want some popcorn?”
Aya beckoned her hand to decline the offer with a serious countenance. Obviously, she didn't have the mood to eat popcorn.
Wang Lu knew that she probably still had mixed feelings about her experience in the last barrier in the sea of clouds, so he didn't insist. In any case, there was also Liu Li there so he didn't worry that none would take his popcorn offer.
Sure enough, just as Liu Li sat down beside him, she leaned her soft body on him and put her small head on Wang Lu's chest. She then said, ”Senior Brother, I want to eat popcorn, will you feed me?”
”Feed you? Can't you do it yourself?”
