Yu Shuanghua was startled by this speed. So fast!
He immediately counterattacked, and Tang Yongyun felt a surge of pressure on his left hand.
The flesh around his neck was squeezing, attempting to trap Tang Yongyun's left hand.
Completely ignoring the injury to his throat, Yu Shuanghua threw another punch at Tang Yongyun.
Pfft! Pat!
Tang Yongyun exerted more force, pulling out his left hand and turning it into an afterimage to deflect the punch once more.
Seeing this, Yu Shuanghua grinned sinisterly. “Hmph, interesting. Let's see how many more you can block...”
Before he could even finish his sentence, Tang Yongyun, who had been moving unhurriedly, suddenly exploded with power.
He took a step forward at such an extreme speed that he broke the sound barrier on the spot, his palm blurring into an afterimage as it struck Yu Shuanghua's abdomen.
Bang!
With just a single palm strike, Yu Shuanghua's expression twisted as a terrifying force surged into him.
His entire body was sent flying backward.
Tang Yongyun watched Yu Shuanghua fly backward, thinking to himself, People from the Church of the Earth Mother are such a hassle. They don't have the power of doom on them, so I have to get my hands dirty.
He took a step forward, his speed skyrocketing as he instantly vanished from where he stood.
After transforming into a Doom Crow, the enhancements he received were all-encompassing, and his physical capabilities had long since reached superhuman levels.
It was just that the opponents he had faced in the past had never managed to survive long enough to force him to fight in person.
Rumble!
Just as the two began their clash, the sound of dense, rushing footsteps echoed from the distance.
A large number of monsters appeared, rushing toward the crater.
“Archbishop Yu, we're here to help you!” the monsters shouted.
Pat!
Just as they were about to draw near, a swarm of Night Slaves rushed out from both sides of the street, charging at the monsters with blunt weapons in hand.
Reaching the monsters even faster than them were ten purplish-white crescent wheels.
Pfft! Pfft!
Wherever the crescent wheels passed, monsters were sliced apart, spraying blood of various colors.
Walking among the Night Slaves, Liu Zhian approached them with a grim expression. “You trash from the Church of the Earth Mother shouldn't even exist here.”
On a distant building, watching the battle erupt below,
Buck jumped straight down from the building. “Let's go. Wipe out those monsters.”
Both sides currently shared a tacit understanding: eliminate the Church of the Earth Mother first.
Behind him, Xiao Qi and Bai Yuwen immediately jumped down as well.
Not far away,
Boom!
Yu Shuanghua was sent flying a hundred meters by that single palm strike, crashing into the third floor of a ruined office building.
Pfft!
He coughed up a mouthful of black blood. Before he could even react,
Swish!
a figure blurred before him, and Tang Yongyun appeared with a calm expression.
He leapt lightly, his leg blurring into an afterimage as he whipped it toward Yu Shuanghua's head.
“You bastard!” Yu Shuanghua grit his teeth, throwing a violent punch in response.
Bang!
As fist and leg collided, the floor beneath Yu Shuanghua's feet exploded, sending his entire body crashing downward.
Opposite him, Tang Yongyun was also pushed back by the punch. Just as he was about to fly backward,
Buzz!
a single pitch-black wing materialized on his back, its flap instantly neutralizing the counterforce.
The floor exploded again as a red figure appeared right in front of Tang Yongyun, its face twisted in fury. “Again and again! Do you think you can spin me around like a fucking top?!”
Swish!
His fists hammered out like heavy artillery, relentlessly pounding toward Tang Yongyun.
Tang Yongyun met the onslaught with both hands, his own arms blurring into afterimages as he blocked the punches head-on. This exchange was far more intense than before.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fists and palms collided continuously, unleashing shockwave after shockwave between the two monsters.
The office building, already structurally compromised by the previous explosion, began to buckle under the immense forces generated by their clash.
Crack! Crack!
Cracks appeared in the walls around the two monsters, rapidly spreading outward.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the building, causing the entire high-rise to tilt precariously to one side.
The floor beneath the two monsters tilted along with the building, but neither was affected in the slightest.
Yu Shuanghua grew increasingly thrilled as the fight went on. This was his first battle since becoming an archbishop, and he had never fought like this before.
“Come on, kid! Show me your full strength and try to defeat me!” he roared, his incoming punches growing heavier with each strike.
Tang Yongyun looked at him, his voice cold. “It seems the Earth Mother invested quite a bit of effort into you.”
Pfft!
His palms struck his opponent's body from time to time. Every impact left a deep crater in Yu Shuanghua's flesh, but the depression would fully regenerate in the very next second.
This newly appointed archbishop was indeed troublesome—he was incredibly resilient.
Crack!
A one-ton concrete slab broke off from the ceiling, skyrocketing right between the two monsters.
Before it could even land, it was obliterated by the blurring flurry of fists and palms, sending stone fragments shooting outward like bullets.
Rumble!
Outside, just as the office building was on the verge of collapsing,
Bang!
a red figure was blasted out of the structure.
Suspended in midair, Yu Shuanghua looked miserable, black blood spraying from his nose and mouth like water from a broken pipe.
I can't go on like this. My speed can't keep up with him at all! Yu Shuanghua's mind raced as he hurtled backward, desperately trying to find a way out.
But with his intelligence, he couldn't come up with any good ideas.
Bang!
While he was still trying to figure out how to turn the tables, the wall of the office building exploded again, and a pitch-black figure charged at him at supersonic speed.
Tang Yongyun materialized right in front of Yu Shuanghua. Extending both legs, and accelerated by his wing, he kicked Yu Shuanghua squarely in the face.
“Ugh...” The force of the kick was so extreme that Yu Shuanghua's face caved in, his eyes bulging outward.
Bang!
A shockwave erupted from his face, and his backward flight instantly broke the sound barrier.
Rumble!
Yu Shuanghua crashed into the dozen-or-so floor of another high-rise behind him, tearing through the concrete walls inside as if they were made of paper.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He smashed through seven or eight walls in rapid succession before finally grinding to a halt.
Wiping away the footprint left on his face, he roared, “Come on! I don't believe you can maintain this level of intensity forever!”
Bang!
With a sonic boom, Tang Yongyun traversed the tunnel of broken walls in an instant, appearing right before him.
Yu Shuanghua's eyes widened, and he immediately threw a double punch.
Slap!
Tang Yongyun effortlessly evaded the fists and slapped Yu Shuanghua across the face, sending him flying once more just as he had managed to stabilize himself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just like that, he was repeatedly beaten backward by Tang Yongyun, piercing through high-rise after high-rise.
The thunderous crashes of collapsing walls and shattering glass echoed throughout the East District.
On the other side of the battlefield, Liu Wen hovered in the air. His six eyes were wide open, casting a red light that blanketed the area before him.
Within the red glow, Zhang Yi stood quietly, his spiritual power manifesting in front of him to firmly block the crimson light.
Raising his left hand, a green light began to gather. “Liu Wen, I didn't expect you to actively seek me out. It's a pity I couldn't let you watch me kill your son with my own hands.”
Liu Wen remained expressionless, completely unfazed by the provocation. “He lacked strength; his death was inevitable. As his father, the only thing I can do is avenge him.”
He extended his right hand. “Zhang Yi, I didn't think we would meet again. After all, you already lost to my Liu family once. If not for the Earth Mother, you wouldn't even be breathing fresh air right now.”
Pfft!
A crimson eye sprouted from his left hand.
Across from him, the green light in Zhang Yi's hand finished charging, and a sphere of green light shot toward him.
Rumble!
Lightning crackled out of thin air, striking the green sphere and detonating it.
As the green light expanded, the red light that previously covered the area transformed into roaring flames.
The entire area erupted into a blazing inferno, the flames searing the spiritual power shielding Zhang Yi's body.
A burning, agonizing pain washed over him, causing Zhang Yi to furrow his brows. What kind of ability is this? With my current spiritual power, he shouldn't be able to injure me this quickly.
His abilities were already naturally inclined toward the spiritual aspect, and now that he had devoured two other spiritual abilities, he shouldn't have been injured so easily.
“Hmph!” Under the searing heat of the flames burning his mind, Zhang Yi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
His complexion paled at a visible rate.
“Is that all you've got, Zhang Yi? I haven't even gotten serious yet,” Liu Wen said, raising his left hand.
The eyeball in the center of his palm crackled with lightning.
Zzzt! Zzzt!
The lightning coalesced into a longbow. He then raised his right hand, another eyeball sprouting from its palm.
Buzz!
Flames erupted from the eyeball, forming a meter-long fire arrow as thick as an adult's forearm.
Liu Wen drew the bow, aiming the arrow at Zhang Yi with a serene expression. “There is no need to force yourself, Zhang Yi. I don't know martial arts, so I won't drag this out. Don't worry, this strike will be swift. It will completely erase you—a person who shouldn't even exist.”
Violent spiritual power surged within the fire arrow, and the lightning crackling on the bow began to merge into it.
Across from him, the moment the fire arrow locked onto him, Zhang Yi's pupils contracted as the cold threat of death loomed over him.
No longer calm, he pressed his hands together, his face twisting in rage. “You want to erase me? Don't be so full of yourself, Liu Wen! Do you know that my life and death are decided by God, not by an old fossil like you!”
He opened his mouth and chanted rapidly, “Great Earth Mother, Your believer is in peril! I beg for Your divine protection!”
In his clash against Liu Wen, besides the two spiritual Earth Priests he had absorbed, the most crucial factor was that these monsters inherently possessed the imprint of the Earth Mother within their minds.
This imprint could only be activated by those of the archbishop rank, designed by the Earth Mother to prevent other entities from tampering with their minds.
Whoosh!
The moment he pressed his hands together, the lightning-infused fire arrow in Liu Wen's hand shot forward.
Buzz!
Just as the fire arrow neared Zhang Yi, a translucent, majestic female face suddenly materialized above his head.
Before the arrow could even get close, it was shattered by an even more powerful spiritual force, exploding on the spot.
