“Let’s leave, let’s leave quickly,” Yang Ling passed down an order in a low voice as he observed the Great Templar Elder that wore an ice-cold expression.

In the past, Fabris that trained to the peak of Low-Level Deity Stage, was so powerful, and the white-clothed Great Templar Elder had already trained until he became a Mid-Level Deity several thousand years ago. His power was greater by many folds, and if they didn’t quickly retreat, they might be wiped out.

“Humph, it’s only now that you want to retreat? It’s too late.” When the Great Templar Elder saw the Honorable Knights Team that suffered heavy casualties, and the heavily injured angels, his expression turned gloomy, and his white robe fluttered. Surging energy emanated from the Great Templar Elder, and it engulfed the whole of Saint Peter Castle.

In an instant, the bodies of Yang Ling and his companions were shaken, and they couldn’t even breathe easily, let alone retreat quickly. It was difficult for them to take even a single step.

As for the horned beasts and the low-level flying Magical Beasts, they all fell down on the ground like rain, while the spiders that drilled into the ground became drenched with blood. It seemed like their veins exploded due to the powerful wave of pressure.

Even the numerous groundhogs weren’t an exception, and they laid limp on the ground. They weren’t even able to move their eyeballs, let alone attack.

It was difficult for the Magical Beast Army to move, and it was also the same for soldiers. They couldn’t control the Magical Crystal Cannons and Magical Towers due to the heavy wave of pressure. As for Elder Klive, his face was pale, and he spent a lot of effort to forcefully send a Magical Message to ask for help from the Three Heads of Darkness.

A gravity domain with a large scope?

Yang Ling swallowed his saliva with great difficulty before he observed the Great Templar Elder near them and the Magical Beasts that couldn’t move easily. Even though Yang Ling knew that his opponent was anything but simple, he still didn’t expect that the Great Templar Elder was so terrifying. The Great Templar Elder managed to deprive most Magical Beasts of any fighting power by just releasing his Divine Domain.

After Yang Ling comprehended the Thousand Waves of Gravity Domain, he was also able to set up a gravity domain, and greatly restrict enemies’ power and reaction speed, but when it came to the scope, there was a large disparity between him and the Great Templar Elder.

It was a confrontation of an Apex Domain-Level Expert with a Mid-Level Deity, and there was a large disparity between their power.

Even though the Corpse Wizard King’s power rose greatly after he comprehended the Corpse Poison Domain, and even though the Beauty Sala would shortly become a God-Level Magical Beast, and even though Yang Ling looked upon the continent’s Domain-Level Experts for a long time, they still didn’t have any odds of success against the Great Templar Elder, who was Mid-Level Deity that trained for innumerable years. They weren’t opponents at the same level!

This was like a boxing competition, and an excellent lightweight boxer came across the champion of heavyweight boxing. Everyone was aware of the battle’s outcome before they fought, and it didn’t have any suspense.

“God has said that slaughtering his believers is the greatest blasphemy toward him,” the ashen-faced Great Templar Elder observed Saint Peter Castle where blood flowed until it formed rivers before he spoke coldly. “At first, I have advised his Majesty the Pope to settle his dispute with you for the continent’s peace, but it seems now that we don’t have to do so. My blade didn’t taste blood for five thousand years, and today, I will let it drink its fill.”

As the Great Templar Elder spoke, he took out a sharp, great blade. It had a sharp edge and heavy blade, and once it was unsheathed, it emitted silvery light. Many complex symbols were carved on the scarlet blade!

“For innumerable years, it has always been your Church that slaughtered people willfully, and we won’t manage to count the people slaughtered by it even if we spend several hundred years counting them.” Yang Ling took several deep breaths and strived hard to keep its calm. “I really want to know how the historical Beastmen Empire was destroyed, and why only a million beastmen were left out of the innumerable beastmen. I really want to know why did elves, dwarves, and beastmen migrate to remote regions and settle in them. Is it because they are fond of living in remote and desolate regions?”

When the Great Templar Elder unsheathed his great blade, Yang Ling felt that a sharp Blade Energy locked into him, and it would erupt out at any moment. If he made any actions, the Great Templar Elder’s attacks would rain upon him. This was why Yang Ling tried to stall for a time until Elder Brent rushed over here.

“Humph, no matter what, slaughtering a large number of believers made you the Church’s greatest enemy. Die!” The Great Templar Elder didn’t reply to Yang Ling’s question, and he attacked decisively while he spoke. As a swooshing sound echoed, he charged at them.

The speed and power of Yang Ling and his companions were restricted greatly due to the Divine Domain’s pressure, but it still didn’t affect its owner, and the Great Templar Elder still possessed shockingly high speed.

“Charge at him! Charge at him together! Hurry up!”

“Ah, die!”

When the Corpse Wizard King, the beauty Sala, and others saw the Great Templar Elder running straight toward Yang Ling, their faces turned pale with fright. But, they still clenched their teeth and braced themselves to charge forward.

The Giant Ape King let out an angry roar and rushed onward with no regard for anything. It waved its rod at the Great Templar Elder’s head. Its courage was laudable, but both its speed and power were affected greatly by the Divine Domain, and as the thumping sound echoed, it was kicked by the swift Great Templar Elder.

“None can save you no matter who came here, die!” The Great Templar Elder shouted angrily and sped up again. He quickly rushed toward Yang Ling like a leopard.

“Ground Guardian!”

When Yang Ling saw that the Great Templar Elder was rushing toward him quickly, and he managed to reach him in the twinkling of an eye. At that moment, Yang Ling’s eyes contracted, and he quickly wore the Ice-Sealing Armor before he consumed a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy rashly to use the Ground Guardian Spell. When a yellowish halo had just appeared around his body, the Great Templar Elder’s sharp blade struck his chest. The Great Templar Elder was as fast as lightning!

Ding!

A crisp sound echoed, and Yang Ling was hacked and sent flying away. Even though the Ice-Sealing Armor and Ground Guardian’s two layers of protection saved his life and blocked the Great Templar Elder’s blade, his internal organs were still shaken by the tremendous power contained in the attack he suffered. The Ice-Sealing Armor didn’t suffer any damage, but the Ground Guardian’s yellowish halo became dimmer by half, and it was almost extinguished by the Great Templar Elder’s blade strike.

Was this the power of a Mid-Level Deity?

Yang Ling wiped the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth and stood up with great difficulty. His heart sank further.

In the past, the Pharaoh King used its little remaining Magical Power to cast the Ground Guardian and blocked the crowd’s joint attacks. Even the God-Level Expert Elder Brent couldn’t extinguish the Ground Guardian’s yellowish halo with his all-out attack.

Yang Ling didn’t expect that the Great Templar Elder was nearly able to extinguish it with a single blade strike. It could be discerned from this how great was the Great Templar Elder’s power.

“Well? A top-grade divine weapon?”

It wasn’t Yang Ling alone that was surprised, and the Great Templar Elder was even more surprised than him. The Great Templar Elder looked in confusion at the yellowish halo on Yang Ling’s body. He was a Mid-Level Deity, and even a Low-Level Deity didn’t dare to take his blade strike head-on, yet a trifling Domain-Level Expert such as Yang Ling was able to block it. It was unimaginable!

“Rodriguez, leave, leave quickly. Lead the army and leave quickly,” after Yang Ling stood with great difficulty, and saw that the Corpse Wizard King and others rushed over recklessly to save him, he passed down an order.

He was facing the powerful Great Templar Elder and didn’t have enough time to spend energy in collecting the Magical Beast Army before retreating with it. Now, he could only ask Rodriguez to retreat along with the numerous Magical Beasts and escape.

“My Lord!” When the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others saw the blood seeping out of the corners of Yang Ling’s mouth, they were astounded. After they exchanged a glance, they didn’t retreat. Instead, they released their domains and rushed over recklessly.

“Hehe, you are seeking death. None of you will manage to escape.” When the Great Templar Elder saw the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others rushing toward him like moths throwing themselves to flames, he snorted coldly and instantly raised the gravity level.

In an instant, the bodies of the Corpse Wizard King and the beauty were shaken, and blood seeped out of their skin. They were instantly turned into blood-soaked people, while the veins of the groundhogs and Evil Eyes in the hundred feet radius exploded, and a large number of them died.

Awful! If it continued like so, none would manage to survive this crisis.

As Yang Ling observed the Great Templar Elder’s terrifying Gravity Domain, he thought hard about a way to deal with it. The Ground Guardian possessed great defensive power, but it consumed a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy, and the more he delayed this battle, the more disadvantageous it would be to him. If he couldn’t come up with a solution, they would probably be instantly wiped out.

Fuu!

When Yang Ling was wondering whether he should risk everything and use Earth Evasion Wizard Spell to launch a counterattack, the Great Templar Elder rushed to him quickly, and he struck his chest with his blade once again.

But this time, his power and speed were greater than before, and after the Ground Guardian’s halo flickered one time, it disappeared thoroughly, while many fine cracks appeared atop the Ice-Sealing Armor.

“Humph, why don’t you take another blade strike.”

When the Great Templar Elder discerned that he still couldn’t break Yang Ling’s defense, he shouted loudly and made an all-out effort. He waved his blade ferociously to use the third blade strike, and his sharp Blade Energy emitted a loud noise. His speed was as quick as lightning, and he left many afterimages in the air. He had attacked in a spurt of energy and didn’t notice that a cold glint flickered in Yang Ling’s eyes, while he also didn’t notice the indistinct light emanating from the Blood Elf Dagger of Yang Ling.

Ding!

A crisp sound echoed out. Yang Ling’s Ice-Sealing Armor managed to block the Great Templar Elder’s third strike, but innumerable fine cracks appeared on it, and as a buzzing sound echoed, it went back to Yang Ling’s body by itself.

As for Yang Ling’s Physical Protection Wizard Power, it had almost crumbled, and he spouted a mouth of blood. It wasn’t just his internal organs that were harmed, as even his veins were shaken and torn apart by the Great Templar Elder’s tremendous power.

“Any heretic who blasphemed God should die.” After he inflicted heavy injuries upon Yang Ling, the Great Templar Elder that had the upper hand, launched another attack. But, when his sharp blade closed on in Yang Ling’s throat, an unexpected incident occurred.

It could only be seen that a silver light flickered when the Great Templar Elder lost sight of Yang Ling’s body, and he felt pain from his back. A sharp dagger was thrust into his back, and even though the dagger couldn’t penetrate anything other than his skin thanks to his Physical Protection Divine Power, his wound still became numb and sour, and this feeling quickly spread in his body. It was obvious that strong poison was smeared on the dagger!

“Let’s leave, leave quickly.” Yang Ling consumed the last wisp of Wizard Power in his body to teleport and strike the Great Templar Elder successfully before he retreated decisively. He hoped to take avail of the Great Templar Elder’s trance to quickly withdraw from Saint Peter Castle with the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala, and others.

“Humph, where can you go?” The infuriated Great Templar Elder used his Divine Power to suppress the intense poison and prevent it from spreading. Soon after, he snorted coldly and increased the Gravity Domain’s power. He greatly restricted the speed and reaction ability of Yang Ling and his companions before he rushed toward them quickly.

“What should I do?”

“Could it be that I will be killed by this old man?”

As Yang Ling observed the powerful Great Templar Elder chasing after him, he broke out into a cold sweat. He had already consumed most of his Wizard Power and Mental Energy to cast Ground Guardian Spell, and after he launched a sneak-attack successfully, he exhausted the remaining Wizard Power and Mental Energy in his body. So, what could he use to save himself, the Corpse Wizard King, and others?

In this critical juncture, Yang Ling, the Corpse Wizard King and others, and even the infuriated Great Templar Elder didn’t notice that ripples appeared in the sky atop the castle gate, and three fuzzy phantom images appeared there.
