After entering Wuzong, Yang Qi's perception became more acute. He could clearly feel that the church's formation not only had powerful defensive capabilities, but also could gather the power of faith from all around.
“No wonder the Holy See is unwilling to give up this place. I’m afraid it’s not just as simple as wanting to act as a spy to monitor the Dark Council.” Yang Qi’s eyes focused. The power of faith is a kind of power similar to the vitality of heaven and earth. The reason why the Holy See is the strongest is because their way of practice does not rely entirely on the vitality of heaven and earth.
Even the Long family and the Dark Council do not completely rely on the vitality of heaven and earth. The Long family has the power of blood, and the Dark Council has cold poison in their bodies.
With this kind of practice, their strength can surpass those who rely solely on the vitality of heaven and earth. Therefore, the importance of the power of faith to the Holy See of Light can be imagined. It is not an exaggeration to say that the power of faith is the foundation of the Holy See of Light.
"Senior, have you found any strong people in the church?" an old man whispered.
This person is a powerful person from the Southern Border Holy Land. He has the cultivation level of a mid-stage Nine-Star Martial Master and his strength is quite impressive.
"The church is protected by a large formation. I cannot investigate carefully, but I can sense two powerful auras." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
There are two extremely powerful auras in the church. They are completely different from the other auras. They have both reached the level of a nine-star martial artist. They should be the two nine-star martial artists that North mentioned.
"Respected Yang, we're relying on you outside the church." said the corpse demon at the side.
“Don’t worry, as long as the Holy Emperor doesn’t come in person, I can definitely stop him.” Yang Qi said confidently.
It is impossible for the Holy Emperor of Light to appear here. Without the threat from Wu Zong, he is naturally not afraid. If it were not inconvenient to expose his own strength, Yang Qi would directly participate in this operation and would not have to worry at all.
The corpse demon nodded slightly, and then disappeared into the night with the three elders.
The Bru Cathedral is located on the edge of the town. The residents of the town have already fallen asleep at this time, but the Bru Cathedral is still brightly lit, and several men in red priest robes are preparing something.
"Sir, everything is ready." A cardinal came to the middle-aged man and said respectfully.
The man nodded slightly and said, "We can abandon this place after we have transported a batch of statues back to the headquarters."
If Yang Qi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the man in front of him was none other than Adams, who had fought with him in the Temple of Death.
Compared to when he was in the Death Desert, Adams' aura was obviously stronger, and he had actually reached the peak level of a martial artist. When the consciousness within the Holy Grail awakened, it combined the lives of several martial artists, and the remaining power of the phantom, not only cured Adams' injuries, but also made Adams' strength go one step further, reaching the peak level of a martial artist.
Looking at the statue, Adams smiled. The Blue Cathedral was close to the headquarters of the Dark Council, and the Holy See of Light did not intend to hold on. The reason why there were two nine-star warriors was just to delay time and let the statue's faith power saturate. The Blue Cathedral was an important source of faith power for the Holy See of Light.
Adams came here to transport back the statue. Now that the Holy See of Light is ready to go to war with the Dark Council, the power of faith is naturally particularly important.
"It's time to leave." Adams put away the statue and said to the cardinal beside him, "Go and inform..."
"Boom~"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from not far away.
"Oh no! It's someone from the Dark Council." Adams's face suddenly changed when he heard the loud noise. Such a noise suddenly came at this time, and it was obvious that someone from the Dark Council was coming to kill him.
Sure enough, the next moment, four powerful auras came, and each breath reached the ninth level of fetal breathing.
"Corpse Demon!"
Outside the church, a loud shout was heard, followed by the sound of fierce fighting.
"There are four nine-star martial artists. Arroyo and the others are no match for them." Adams' face looked a little ugly. The corpse demon was a late-stage nine-star martial artist, and the other three were all late-stage nine-star martial artists. However, those from the Vatican who were stationed in the cathedral were only early-stage nine-star martial artists.
Under normal circumstances, relying on the statue and the formation, they could unleash the combat power of peak martial artists. However, the statue had been put away and the formation had been destroyed. How could two early-stage nine-star martial artists withstand the siege of four late-stage nine-star martial artists
"With just the four of you, you think you can take on the Blue Cathedral!" Adams smiled coldly. If he had not made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he would not dare to say that he could stop the four corpse demons. However, after reaching the peak of martial arts, with the cooperation of two nine-star martial artists, he could completely resist the four corpse demons head-on.
Whoosh~
Thinking of this, Adams flashed and rushed out of the church.
…
The corpse demons approached the church carefully and directly destroyed the foundation of the formation. They had already investigated the Blue Cathedral very clearly.
Just after the four of them destroyed the formation, two figures rushed out. They were the two nine-star martial artists who were in charge of the Blue Cathedral.
"Early stage of Nine-star Martial Master?"
After fighting for a while, the Corpse Demons discovered that the two men were only at the early stage of Nine-Star Martial Masters. Although with the help of the power of faith, their cultivation had reached the middle stage of Nine-Star Martial Masters, there was still a huge gap between them.
Although they didn't know why the two didn't use the formation and the statue in the church, the four corpse demons knew that this was a rare opportunity. With their strength, they would probably be able to kill the two soon.
"strangeness."
In the darkness in the distance, Yang Qi also felt that the two practitioners of the Church of Light were far from being as strong as the peak martial artists that North had said. After only a short fight, they were already completely at a disadvantage, and it would probably not be long before they were defeated and killed.
"Corpse demon, die." At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the church, and then a figure rushed out and slammed the corpse demon with a palm.
Feeling the powerful force of the incoming palm, the corpse demon's face changed and he returned a palm with his backhand to meet the attack.
"Boom~"
The next moment, a horrifying loud noise was heard, and the corpse demon's body was actually shaken and flew backwards. You must know that among the four people, the corpse demon is the strongest, and the person who came could actually shake him away with one palm, and his strength is even above his.
"Adams!"
The corpse demon steadied his body and looked at the newcomer. His face suddenly became solemn. How could Adams appear here? He had no other thoughts. The important thing was that Adams' strength had reached the peak level of a martial artist. This was normal cultivation, without using the power of faith to improve, and without using any secret methods. Even in the Church of Light, there were less than ten such strong men.
"It's him!"
Yang Qi, who was far away, recognized Adams the moment he made his move. This man was the Adams he had fought with in the Temple of Death. Compared to before, Adams' cultivation was obviously stronger, reaching the peak of martial arts. (To be continued)
