In the Red Apple Church district, the largest church collapsed.
Several high walls, along with the exquisite reliefs and the spires on top, were shattered, and countless stones flew and exploded. The repeated bombardment of the "Spades" card was like poking a hornet's nest. Dozens of red-robed priests ran out from the smoke and dust, led by the bishop of the area and the three standard priests.
"Intruder!"
"Damn it! Isn't the Kangkai Council still in Phosphorus City? Why did they suddenly come here?!"
"Only one person?!"
A group of extraordinary people from the Red Apple Church gathered at Chen Lun's feet, looking up and glaring at him.
The bishop was a bald middle-aged man. He stared at the black-clad gentleman in the sky. His face changed drastically and he growled at the people around him:
"Call for help immediately! It's the Archon of the Council of Kangkai! Jack!"
“?!”
The priests and clergymen nearby were suddenly terrified.
The name Jackspeter had been spread within the church since a long time ago, but at that time it was just an "ordinary enemy of the church" or a "heretic who was to be killed on sight." But now, it has become a name that terrifies most of the middle and low-level church members!
"All of you, die!"
Chen Lun's eyes were cold.
The silver cane in his hand turned a few times, and then it pointed downwards with a whoosh.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Countless poker cards swirled around him, then rushed downwards like a torrent!
The sound of puffing continued.
The low-ranking priests had bulging muscles and were tall, but their flesh and blood bodies alone could not withstand the storm of sharp cards, and they screamed as if they were being tortured by slow slicing.
"ah!"
"ah!"
As blood and flesh flew everywhere, bat wings grew on the bishop's back, and the bones of his left arm emerged from under his skin, turning into a bone shield that blocked the way ahead, like a rock in a torrent, splitting the card storm in the middle.
Ding ding dong!
The densely packed cards rotate at high speed, hitting the shield hard with a force that exceeds the cutting force of the blade.
Bone powder flew and sparks flew.
The bishop had a gloomy face and bent over to resist, but he could not stop being knocked back by the continuous force. Among the church members hiding behind him, a priest took out a golden goblet, poured a bottle of fresh virgin blood into it, and then asked for help from the church in a frightened and hurried voice.
Chen Lun sneered when he saw this scene.
He did not try to stop it and let the other party ask for help.
Because the purpose of this trip is to kill without any cover, in order to lure out Rafa's true identity. The ordinary Red Apple Church extraordinary people are not a threat to him, even if they send a saint incarnation, it will be useless.
Only those in high positions can personally take action to curb his rampage!
The Red Apple Church would not be unaware of this, and this area is under the responsibility of Rafa, so the most likely thing is that she will come in person to suppress Chen Lun.
This plan is simple and crude, but it is the most time-saving and labor-saving method with the highest success rate in Chen Lun's deduction...
Seeing that the time was right, Chen Lun continued to throw out several "diamond" cards, mixing them into the card storm. With two loud clangs, the bald bishop's face suddenly changed again.
The bone shield on his left arm broke with a sound, and immediately afterwards, his forearm was cut off by a red stream of light!
Phew!
Blood spurted out.
The bald bishop was shocked and angry, and just prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the church could come to his support quickly and suppress the arrogant guy in front of him on the spot.
He roared and flapped his bat wings to rush towards the black-hatted figure in the air.
But what greeted him was a giant sword burning with purple-red flames!
Chen Lun instantly entered the "Pale Knight" form, holding the silver sword in both hands, and slashed at the bishop's head!
clang!
Card!
As soon as the bishop's left arm grew back, the sharp bone claws on his right hand broke off.
His anus shrank violently, and he endured the double pain of body and soul, and was about to enter the sequence form, but the pale knight in front of him was terrifyingly fast, and the terrifying giant sword seemed to be nothing in his hand. After the vertical slash, it was immediately raised, making a terrifying scream.
"Get out of the way!"
The bald bishop cried out in his heart.
But his body was still a beat slower after all.
clang!
In mid-air, the red-robed bishop's body split in two, with ferocious expressions on both sides of his face. He turned his eyes and looked at the pale knight standing in the air, feeling inexplicably depressed.
The sense of oppression brought to him by the other party was too strong!
Peng!
With no other choice, he had to mobilize both sides of his body to transform into a swarm of bats and flee.
But Chen Lun was already accustomed to this move, and he flicked out a "little trump card" with a flick of his finger. At the same time, the white python on his shoulder stood up, opened its mouth and spit out deadly burning fire.
"Dishuo..."
Buzz!
A black ball suddenly appeared in the air, sucking in everything around it.
The bats were dragged in without any surprise, and stirred together in the black ball along with the blazing flames. In a short moment, the bishop died on the spot!
A huge pale figure dropped from the sky, and the silver sword swept across mercilessly!
Without the strongest fighting force in this area, the remaining priests and clergymen all became pigs to be slaughtered under the sword of the Pale Knight. The killing lasted only two minutes, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
Chen Lun stood alone and looked around.
He originally planned to count the spoils, but he found that these clergymen of the Red Apple Church did not leave any remains after their death.
'The spirit has disappeared... It must be a blood ritual.'
Chen Lun quickly figured this out, and teleported back into the church.
Guided by divination, he soon found the ritual array and the blood-soaked statue of Lady Rose in the secret door of the prayer room. Under the feet of the statue, he took half a cup of sinful blood.
'The people of the Red Apple Church are as cruel to their own people as they are to others... Are they promoting the idea that everyone is sinful? Hehe...'
Chen Lun sneered to himself.
All of this was just a desire of the Rose Royal Family, and even an unprovoked war provoked to satisfy the interests of those in high positions... In essence, it was just to gather the number of deaths, regardless of friend or foe, just to satisfy the ritual.
From the information obtained, one of the purposes is to resurrect the previous Pope Dolomypurnes... and the other purposes, analyzed through confirming the memories of the previous life, are mostly to please the Lady of the Rose or a flesh and blood angel, so as to cause a miracle to happen.
Perhaps the outcome of the war is not important.
What is important is whether the empire can be dragged into this quagmire, allowing the Kingdom of Beelzebub to reap the benefits.

When several Red Rose teams arrived to support, they saw a mess and body parts all over the ground.
"Lord Rafa, we found no trace of the enemy."
Several red-robed priests returned to the ruined open space and reported to a red-haired man.
"Bishop Seleman, Father Shul, Father Tobot, and twenty-one monks were all killed without exception... In addition, the blood of the branch church has been taken away by the enemy."
"I see."
Rafa said calmly.
A faint smile appeared on her face.
"Jack, is this your revenge? It seems that Byers told you everything before he died... But that's fine, since it's delivered to my door, I can also take back Byers's legacy."
Rafa originally planned to ambush Byers and even used the church's A-level monster, the Sin Arena, to trap the opponent to death. However, he did not expect Byers to be so courageous. After clearly knowing that he could not change the situation, he "committed suicide" and let the spirit escape from the arena.
This ultimately led to the failure of Rafa's plan to seize the high-level characteristics of the moon.
Now Jack actually abandoned the battlefield in Yanbang and went deep into here alone, obviously coming here for Byers' death. In Rafa's opinion, Jack had been blinded by hatred.
But this is a great opportunity for her...
It can not only settle old and new grudges, but also bring back the high-position characteristics of the moon.
The feeling of regaining what she had lost made her extremely happy.
At this moment, the golden goblet in the hand of one of his subordinates was shaking violently. He immediately listened attentively and his face changed drastically.
"Lord Rafa! The church branch in Jianbo City has been attacked again... The enemy is still Jack, and he is alone!"
"You guys clean up the mess here, I'll go over there myself."
Rafa said calmly.
"yes!"
The men lowered their heads and said.
At the same time, they secretly thought in their hearts that this damn Jack had provoked the church again and again... and now he had angered Lady Rafa, and her true self would personally take action to slaughter this man on the spot!

However, when Rafa arrived in Jianbo City, Chen Lun had already left, leaving behind only ruins and corpses.
After entering the "Pale Knight" form, Chen Lun went all out. The high-level combat power of the Red Apple Church was nothing in front of him. Each battle lasted no more than ten minutes. He would descend, kill, and take the blood of sin, and then directly use the cloud to leap to the next city, never lingering in battle.
In just a few hours, Chen Lun destroyed the Red Apple Church branches in five cities. Rafa, who was following closely behind him, became more and more murderous.
Chen Lun's intuitive feeling was the warning from his spiritual intuition, which became stronger and stronger.
It was as if a disaster was about to happen.
But he didn't care about it. Instead, he used this to confirm Rafa's arrival and secretly breathed a sigh of relief... The plan went smoothly as planned.
After another fierce killing.
Chen Lun sat on the ruins of the collapsed church, breathing rapidly.
The surroundings were in a mess, with broken limbs and blood everywhere, and many places were burning with fire. The silver sword had turned back into a cane and was casually placed at his feet.
He had now exited the "Pale Knight" form and could not continue.
In order to save time, Chen Lun overloaded his transformations one after another. Although he swept through several cities in an invincible manner, this had already made him extremely tired physically and mentally. After consuming a lot of physical strength and sanity, he felt a severe pain in his head, accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus, which made him nauseous.
'This is just a small price to pay for the plan...'
Chen Lun coughed up a pool of blood and his face turned cold.
He suddenly realized something and slowly turned his head.
Suddenly, a faceless waiter appeared out of thin air, bowed to him respectfully, and handed him a letter from a tray without delay.
"Master Archon Jack, this is a secret letter from Master Mulenga... She asked me to tell you that you have entered the 'Jewel State IV' war zone, which is the area under the charge of Master Houston... This may cause Master Houston's dissatisfaction."
"I see."
Chen Lun took the letter.
After enclosing the tip, he opened the envelope and started to check.
Mulenga did not question why Chen Lun went to her war zone and carried out a series of "deep destruction", but expressed gratitude for it...
"Is this the tolerance of one's own people?"
Chen Lun smiled.
However, Governor Mulenga also said that if Chen Lun continued to go deeper, it would likely cause Houston to misunderstand that this was an act of stealing credit.
"I only told Speaker Azgiero about my plan, and the other consuls in the Senate were not aware of it... I don't care about Houston's attitude."
His eyes are deep.
After putting the letter away, Chen Lun suddenly felt that the warning of his spiritual intuition had reached a peak, so he immediately turned to the messenger and said:
"I have received the message, please leave immediately."
"Yes, Master Jack."
The faceless waiter was slightly stunned, but did not ask any more questions. He bowed and immediately disappeared into the spirit world.
Soon after it left.
The scene around me suddenly changed.
Chen Lun discovered that dozens of ancient and old stone pillars suddenly rose up at the edge of a circular area with a radius of 100 meters centered on himself.
Each stone pillar was so thick that it took more than a dozen people to hug it, and it was hundreds of meters tall. The surface was bumpy and covered with traces of blood, as if it had gone through countless years.
The stone pillars are connected by huge iron chains engraved with strange patterns, which seem to block off the area.
Blood began to seep out of the ground, bubbling as if it was boiling.
When the blood gathered into a large pool, a figure slowly emerged from it.
A seductive man with waist-length red hair, wearing a gorgeous robe and covered in blood, came out.
"Jack, you run really fast... Even I had to chase you for a while."
Rafa walked forward step by step, following the bloody footprints, with an indifferent smile on his face.
"Rafa."
Chen Lun took a deep breath, slowly stood up from the ruins of the church, and looked down at the man below with a serious expression.
This was his first time facing the true body of a saint, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous.
But Chen Lun was not panicked.
The moment Rafa descended, he began to pray to the Speaker.
According to the plan he had made with the Speaker before, as long as he could lure out Rafa's true identity, the Speaker would personally take action and kill him.
Chen Lun summarized the intelligence about the 1.0 version of his previous life in his mind, selected the most critical information, and prompted the birth of this plan... Although the Red Apple Church was in turmoil throughout the empire, it had the twenty-two most important "Fortresses of Abomination", which were the key nodes of the final ceremony "Scarlet Festival".
In addition, there are three "Fortresses of Abomination" that serve as the foundation for the entire ceremony.
There are a total of 25 fortresses, mixed among the hundreds of fortresses in the Red Disaster Zone, unknown to outsiders, and guarded by the ten cores of the "Scarlet Monastery", the most powerful high-level group of the Red Apple Church... Rafa is the version BOSS responsible for one of the three base fortresses.
In the previous life, the ultimate ritual "Scarlet Ritual" was completed, and the existence at the end of the Path of Flesh and Blood brought down a miracle, causing huge losses to the empire and causing the Red Disaster to continue to rage for a long time.
'I have informed the Speaker of the intelligence and location of the twenty-five ritual fortresses. She can use this information to exchange benefits with the official shelter and other Orthodox churches... And, as long as Rafa is killed, one of the base fortresses will be lost. This is a great opportunity to completely break through the Red Apple Church! '
Chen Lun’s thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.
'The Speaker will not miss this opportunity!'
At this time, Rafa looked at the gentleman in the black hat high up in front of him with great interest.
"You don't seem to be panicking at all, Jack... Do you have any cards up your sleeve?"
She shook her head.
"You and I are now on the 'Sin Arena'. No one can come in, and no one can go out... until one of us dies. Do you still have hope now?"
Rafa had a smile on his face and didn't seem to mind saying a few more words at this moment.
Chen Lun frowned and glanced around calmly.
"Is this the magic that trapped Mr. Byers to death? Mr. Speaker... can you successfully take action?"
