Chapter 543: Chapter 380: Sin Arena (Two in One)
The Red Apple Church district, the largest church, collapsed with a thunderous boom.
Several high walls, along with the exquisite reliefs and the spires on top, shattered one after another, countless stones flying and exploding. The continuous bombing by the “Spade” cards was like poking a hornet’s nest, as dozens of red-robed priests ran out from the dust, led by the area’s Bishop and the standard three Priests.
“Damn! Wasn’t the Generous Council still on the other side of Lime Ash City? How did they suddenly come here?!”
A group of Transcendents from the Red Apple Church gathered below Chen Lun, looking up at him angrily.
The Bishop was a bald middle-aged man. He stared intently at the black-clad Gentleman above, his face changing color, and growled to the few around him:
“Call for reinforcements immediately! It’s the Generous Council’s Governing Officer, Jack!”
The Priests and clergymen beside him were instantly filled with fear.
The name Jack Spett had been circulating within the Church for a long time, but at that time, he was just a “common church enemy,” or “a heretic to be eradicated on sight.” But now, it had become an existence that made the vast majority of the lower and middle ranks of the Church dread to even hear about!
Chen Lun’s eyes were cold.
He twirled his Silver Staff in his hand and then pointed it downward with a whoosh.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Countless poker cards revolved around him and then surged downward like a torrent!
The sound of flesh being pierced was incessant.
Lower-ranking priests bulged with muscle, their stature increasing, but with just their flesh and blood, they couldn’t withstand the sharp Card Storm, and they screamed as if they were being sliced to pieces by a thousand cuts.
Amid the flying flesh and blood, the Bishop grew bat wings on his back, and the bones in his left arm drilled out from beneath his skin, forming a Bone Shield in front of him, standing out like a rock in the tumult, splitting the Card Storm in two.
The dense cards spun rapidly with cutting force surpassing that of blades, striking harshly against the shield.
Bone powder sprayed, and sparks flew.
The Bishop’s face was somber, struggling to resist even as he was constantly hammered by the consecutive blows, retreating backward. Among the clergymen taking cover behind him, one Priest took out a Golden Goblet and poured a bottle of fresh virgin blood into it, then called for help from the Church with a voice full of fear and urgency.
Chen Lun saw this scene and let out a cold sneer.
He did not intervene to prevent their call for help, allowing them to proceed.
For his purpose was to kill wantonly without disguise, in order to draw out the true body of Lafa. Regular Red Apple Church Transcendents posed no threat to him, and even sending an Incarnation of the Saint would be in vain.
Only the high-ranking beings taking personal action could curb his rampage!
The Red Apple Church faction would not be unaware of this, and since this area was under the responsibility of Lafa, the most likely event would be the descent of His true body to suppress Chen Lun.
This plan was simple and crude, but in Chen Lun’s deduction, it was the most time-and-effort saving method with the highest chance of success…
Seeing the time was ripe, Chen Lun threw out several more “Diamonds” cards, mixed within the Card Storm. With two clangs, the bald Bishop’s face changed drastically once more.
The Bone Shield on his left arm broke at the sound, soon followed by his forearm being severed by a red glow!
The bald Bishop was shocked and enraged, silently praying that the Church would quickly send reinforcements to suppress the arrogant fool before him.
He roared and flapped his bat wings, charging towards the shadow in the black hat standing in mid-air.
But what greeted him was a giant sword ablaze with purplish-red Flames!
Chen Lun instantly transformed into the “Pale Knight,” holding the Silver Sword in both hands and slashing down at the Bishop’s head!
The Bishop had just regrown his left arm when the bone claws on his right hand snapped off.
His pupils shrank, enduring the pain of both body and soul, ready to enter his Sequence form, but the Pale Knight before him was frighteningly fast. The terrifying giant sword in his hand was as though without weight, cleaving down then immediately followed by an upward slash, emitting a terrifying screech.
The bald Bishop screamed in his heart.
But his body was ultimately a beat too slow.
In mid-air, the red-robed Bishop’s body split in two, both halves bearing a ferocious expression. His eyes swiveled towards the Pale Knight standing on solid air, feeling an inexplicable oppression in his heart.
The pressure from the opponent was simply too intense!
Left with no choice, he activated both halves of his body to disperse into a swarm of bats.
But Chen Lun was already well-accustomed to this move, flicking a “Joker” card in a snap, while the White Python on his shoulder stood erect, opening its mouth to emit the Deathburn Fire.
The Black Sphere suddenly emerged in mid-air, pulling everything in the vicinity into it.
The swarm of bats was inexorably dragged into it and, together with the blazing flames, were churned within the Black Sphere. In no short time, the Bishop was dead on the spot!
The giant pale figure descended from the sky, with the Silver Sword mercilessly sweeping across!
With the highest Combat Power of the area gone, the remaining Priests and clergymen all became lambs to the slaughter before the Pale Knight. The massacre lasted only a short two minutes, leaving a ground littered with mutilated corpses.
Chen Lun stood alone, surveying his surroundings.
He had planned to collect the spoils of war, but he found that these Red Apple Church clergymen did not leave any remains after their deaths.
‘The spirituality has vanished… it must be the Sinblood Ritual.’
Chen Lun quickly realized this and then Blink into the interior of the church.
