"snort!"
Rafa snorted coldly, and the red robe on her body instantly turned into blood, and she disappeared from the spot as the blood surged.
Chen Lun's attack missed, and Rafa was obviously afraid of his strange ability of "turning wood to the touch", and did not intend to have any contact with him.
Fresh blood formed a ball out of thin air on one side, and then suddenly exploded.
Crash!
Blood rained down on Chen Lun, and every drop of blood turned into a scarlet maggot, densely packed and extremely terrifying... But before they could even move, they all stiffened and turned into "wood withers" of various shapes, rolling off his body.
"interesting."
Rafa's voice came softly.
She appeared above Chen Lun, blood gushing out from the ground, lifting him into the air.
The bone thorn sword fell on his head and collided with the silver sword.
clang!
clang clang clang!
Dazzling sparks flew everywhere, but Rafa obviously suppressed Chen Lun so much that he couldn't even raise his head.
Another sword, and with a "swish" sound, Chen Lun's left arm fell off.
But he didn't care as he had no sense of pain. He raised the silver giant sword with his backhand, trying to exchange injury for injury and cut off Rafa's left leg.
Kolafa was not greedy for credit, his entire body turned into blood and separated, avoiding the sword.
The next second, the blood formed a clot again, as if being squeezed by an invisible pair of hands, and scattered in flakes.
Phew!
Chen Lun, whose left arm was cut off first, was cut in half at this moment!
Rafa's figure gathered on one side, but there was no joy on his face. He just stared at the "corpse" on the ground indifferently and murmured:
"A recovery ability stronger than that of the flesh and blood path? What on earth is this thing..."
Chi chi chi…
The Pale Knight's body grew countless sprouts like an undead monster, and in an instant it grew into its original appearance and stood up intact.
Chen Lun let out a long breath and tightened the silver sword in his hand.
He was somewhat unsure of Rafa's strength. The opponent's endless fighting methods and unclear background put him under tremendous pressure.
But fortunately, he is in the form of "Cyan Snake" at the moment. No matter how serious the injury is, he can recover as before, which greatly improves his tolerance rate.
"Pale Blue Snake" was a temporary name he gave it. It was the final state after he activated the "Extraordinary Woodification" in the "Pale Knight" form.
"Unkillable? Hehe..."
Rafa suddenly spoke up.
She held the bone thorn sword in her right hand, raised her left hand slightly, and two balls of light, one golden and one purple, condensed in her palm.
The light balls suddenly merged together and turned into a dark purple triangular pyramid, which was slowly rotating.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a finger-thick dark purple beam of light emanated from one side of the triangular pyramid. It distorted the air and instantly pierced through Chen Lun's left chest, destroying his heart.
However, the horribly high temperature was still burning Chen Lun's wounds, and the charred area kept spreading. Even the "Hell Resistance" could not withstand such burning.
'The moon shines...'
Chen Lun teleported to the edge of the "ring" and looked down at his empty chest.
Countless new buds grew, instantly repairing the heart and wounds.
He knew that this was Rafa's signature skill, a terrifying method developed through her own Sequence 4 - Sin Eater ability, which combined the power of the Sun and Moon paths... Chen Lun's own "Death Burning Fire" was inspired by "Moon Shine".
Buzz!
Another dark purple laser came!
Chen Lun felt that his mind was a little unclear. His thoughts were muddled and he raised his hand reflexively.
A green light emanated from his fingers!
boom!
He actually caught Rafa's Moonlight Fire with one hand!
A tremendous vitality emerged, competing with the hot light column that was compressed to the extreme, and starting from Chen Lun's hand, it spread forward along the light column to form the rings of time!
Kakaka…
The straight laser actually solidified into wood like a real object.
Rafa immediately interrupted his power and stepped back.
With a bang, the "Laser Wood" exploded into sawdust all over the sky.
Those strange growth rings almost spread to her hands!
"That's a real surprise, Jack."
She suddenly exclaimed in praise.
Then he shook his head.
"Unfortunately, there aren't that many miracles in the mysterious realm. Since you can use such a terrifying power, the price must be high... I don't believe you can keep doing this. Don't worry, there's still a lot of time, we can play slowly."
Chen Lun staggered back a step and almost fell.
He felt like he was reaching his limit.
'I can only hold out for half a minute at most, no... ten seconds at most.'
Chen Lun calmed down instead. He no longer thought about when the speaker would make a move, nor did he think about the final result. At this moment, he just wanted to use this last short "highlight period" to cause real damage to Rafa.
For no other reason than to vent Mr. Byers's anger.
And his hatred for the Red Apple Church.

Imperial City.
Tourmaline Closter.
A secret and important meeting had just been held in the Sun Council Chamber.
All the participants are real big shots.
The Sun Prince Dazlet, the Royal Chief Secretary Franco, the Supreme Judge of the Asylum Fiona, the three chief judges of the Imperial Inquisition, the core leaders of the seven orthodox churches and even the Pope-level figures showed up in person.
The reason for holding this meeting was an important piece of information from Azgiero, the new speaker of the "Kangai Council" of the Orthodox Church, which was related to whether the red disaster could be completely eliminated in a short period of time.
"Twenty-five 'Fortresses of Abomination' are scattered throughout the empire, serving as the base and nodes of the ceremony... Judging from the specifications alone, this ceremony is extraordinary."
A middle-aged man in military uniform with medals hanging all over his shoulders and chest said in a deep voice.
She is one of the nine chief judges of the Imperial Inquisition, MacLennan.
"What exactly does Louisa want to do? Is she longing for a miracle to happen? Isn't she afraid of another war between gods like the one in the Fourth Era?"
Fiona, the chief judge of the shelter, said coldly.
The Louisa she mentioned is the current Pope of the Red Apple Church and the younger sister of the former Pope Dolomypurnius.
"In this era, the gods have returned to secrecy. If Her Majesty Madam Rose can bring down a miracle, it would be good news... It has been a long time since we have been able to listen to the teachings of our fierce father."
An old man with white hair and beard from the Church of the Sun said slowly.
"Your Holiness Pope Difni, even if countless times have passed, the sun's glory will always shine on Trisul... Please don't worry about this. What we need to consider now is how to destroy the ritual nodes of the Red Apple Church."
Chief Secretary Franco straightened his clothes, holding a luxurious gold-inlaid pen in his hand, and wrote down the contents of the meeting on parchment.
The old man, Difni, had a calm expression on his face. He did not reply, but only glanced at the young man sitting in the main seat.
The prince, dressed in a gorgeous velvet suit with gray and gold stripes and a golden crown on his head, looked at everyone with a smile from beginning to end.
He noticed the Pope's look, coughed twice, and said slowly:
"Chairwoman Azgiero left in a hurry after the meeting. I didn't have time to ask her some questions... But according to her, there is a base fortress and four node fortresses in the two states that the Kangkai Council is responsible for. It seems that they are under a lot of pressure..."
Prince Dazlet's words were meaningful.
Among the people present, except for the Sun and Moon Churches, the top leaders of the other four Orthodox Churches were unwilling to talk and just listened with a smile on their faces.
Tiffany shook his head in disappointment and chuckled.
"I deeply understand your concerns, Prince. Based on Azgiero's intelligence, my church will do its best to eliminate the ritual fortresses of the Flower Kingdom and the Insect Kingdom."
"The same will be true for Linbang, which the Moon Church is responsible for."
The purple-hooded nun next to Diffany spoke in a low voice.
Prince Dazlat nodded and looked towards the internment camp and the Imperial Inquisition.
"Don't worry, Prince. We will leave the deserted country to you."
Fiona, McCaughlin and others said calmly.
"That's great, but I hope it can be done as soon as possible... Father has been very busy lately, and I don't see her often. I guess she is worried about the Red Disaster. If this is done, the threat of the Red Apple Church will be greatly reduced, and peace will soon be restored in the empire. I believe father will be very happy."
Dazlet laughed.
He deliberately did not mention the war in the west, that is, the battle with the United Kingdom of Anlong... Because the current situation is not optimistic, the empire is distracted by both sides and cannot please both sides.
The prince turned his head and looked at the blonde girl beside him.
She was wearing a pale yellow fluffy gauze dress and a crown on her head, but it was a platinum diamond-studded princess ring. The girl listened to the entire meeting but never spoke a word, like a delicate doll.
"Anna, what do you think?"
The blonde girl's empty and dead eyes slowly focused. She glanced at Dazlet, then glanced at the important figures in the council chamber, and said calmly:
"Brother, you are right."
"Ha ha… "
Dazlet nodded happily, as if he saw his father's happy expression.
At this time, a lady from the Star Sect suddenly spoke:
"Prince, I have confirmed through divination based on the anchor point given by Azgiero... In the Gem State area, the guardian of one of the three base fortresses, Rafa, a ten-core member of the Red Apple Church's 'Blood Monastery', seems to be fighting with someone."
"Um?"
Prince Dazlet raised his eyebrows.
"Chairman Azgiero is so quick? Can I watch?"
He was in a very happy mood and his tone was somewhat expectant.
But the lady from the Star Sect shook her head helplessly and said only one sentence:
"This... is too far away. I may not be able to do it."
Dazlet seemed a little disappointed and waved his hands listlessly.
"never mind… "
Just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, the old man beside him, Di Funi, slowly spoke:
"Prince, the 'Daytime Obelisk' in the Fossil City of the Gem State has been built. We can use the wonder as an anchor point for Ms. Petraka to do divination again... The stars are adjacent to the sun, so this is not a difficult task."
"That's right, Your Majesty Petraka, may I ask..."
Dazlet said expectantly to the lady in silver robe.
The latter was silent for a few seconds, glanced at the white-haired old man, and nodded.
Difni flicked his fingers, and a white glass ball flew into Petrarca's hand. The latter put his five fingers together, held the ball in his palm, and then closed his eyes.
Countless twinkling stars appeared around the silver-robed lady, and a silver mist enveloped the air in the meeting hall. A vague scene appeared in everyone's eyes...
"That is..."
Prince Dazlet leaned forward, looking intently at the flickering images in the starlight with a puzzled expression.
"A mid-sequence transcendent?"
The looks in the crowd were mixed with surprise, confusion, and indifference.
Princess Anna, who was sitting next to the prince, was attracted by the scene. She stared at the pale knight in the picture and murmured:
"The guide of destiny..."
