This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome-Novel2

Chapter 355: Cutting Down the Knights of the Faith

Everyone watched with their eyes thrown wide open at that scene. Devotees from all over the world cheered.

However, the cultivators all gasped at what they saw, especially all the other formidable ones present. That Greater Prophecy Spell the angel cast had frightened every last one of them to the core.

While being the antithesis of darkness meant that angels had a decisive advantage over dark creatures, there was still no denying the extent of that angel’s power.

Choral voices immediately rang out in the entire vicinity of St. Peter’s Basilica.

In the midst of their chants, the angel cast its gaze at everyone present and said, “Yield before the glory of our Lord, and you shall all be granted passage to heaven.”

“You’re trying to make us submit, hh?” A cultivator shouted, simultaneously bursting with power.

Many cultivators also unleashed their own powers at the same time to resist the pressure coming from that angel.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A terrifying aura burst in some areas. The angel was trying to make everyone present submit, but there was simply no way the fighters would easily back down.

All of them were considered top-notch fighters amongst their respective countries. Despite their powers currently being somewhat lower than that of the two-winged angel, there was still no way they would have just yielded.

Given that there were over 100 cultivators present, not even the Roman Curia’s powers would have been able to force them into submission.

“Hmm?” The angel flashed a cold expression and amplified the pressure emanating from its being.

Those fighters soon spat out blood as they backed off. The power of the two-winged angel was far beyond theirs. When combined with holy light emanating from the church, it was able to instantly overwhelm the crowd.

The increase in that angel’s power while being in the church caught the attention of several people. They glared at Pope Innocent with anger burning in their eyes.

None of them had anticipated the church to be so bold as to make a move against them.

What the angel did was tantamount to declaring war against all cultivators out there.

What made it worse was the fact that there were also cultivators from organizations with official ties to their respective governments.

The Roman Curia is declaring war against the world!

Is the angel trying to become the next Lu Xuan?

Pope Innocent seemed to be oblivious to the furious looks those cultivators shot at him. Instead, he continued to look at the angel with fervor.

The pope was not the only one doing so, as every devotee present was looking at the angel feverishly as well.

None of them seemed to be out to stop the angel.

At that moment, the cultivators were unable to take it anymore, cranking their powers to new heights as they shot to the air.

The people who were watching the event live were all left dumbfounded as they watched the turn of events unfold, not understanding why a battle was about to break out all of a sudden.

There were also more than just a handful of key political figures from all over the world slamming their fists on their tables.

“What the hell are they thinking?”

“What the hell is the Roman Curia doing?”

“They still think that it’s the middle ages!”

Key political figures from all over the world were furious, especially those from the Big Five. Since they were practically the ones that ruled the world for several years, they were unable to tolerate the Roman Curia wanting to tamper with the balance of power.

Those from the Big Five deemed that the Roman Curia had crossed the line with what they just did.

They believed that the angel should have just resigned to be some kind of figurehead for the Vatican. They saw its actions in trying to make the cultivators submit as a direct challenge aimed towards the Big Five’s power.

Damn, that thing truly had no idea what it meant to take a nuke in the face back then!

That two-winged angel suddenly locked horns with the cultivators present in the Vatican. It looked as if a battle was truly about to break out.

“Whooo! This is indeed rowdy!”

Someone was heard jeering from faraway in midair, somehow managing to break all the tension built up from the current situation.

Everyone looked up and saw a man dressed in white Hanfu standing in midair. He had been around for some time, but no one noticed him before.

“It’s him. It’s Mr. Lu! He came to save us!”

Ming Yueyao discovered to her delight that the man who was dressed in white Hanfu was none other than Lu Xuan.

While his appearance still looked rather out of place given that he had short hair, none thought him to look like a lunatic.

In contrast, everyone thought that it was just how he usually was.

The faces of all the other cultivators glowed at the sight of him.

It was rather amusing; many of those cultivators were hostile towards Lu Xuan, yet they all still needed Lu Xuan to come to their aid at that moment.

That two-winged angel gradually then uttered the word, “Infidel.”

“Some birdman with two wings, I see.” Lu Xuan grinned and said, “Innocent, so this is the trump card you sent to take me out? This is who you claimed to be a lackey of Satan? You actually call a two-winged angel your trump card? Hahahahaha, how stupid!”

It was a fact that no one knew, but Lu Xuan cut down countless four-winged and six-winged angels in heaven back in his past life. As such, two-winged ones were deemed insignificant.

“You dare to disrespect an angel of the Lord!”

The eight knights representing the eight virtues were the first to rise, shooting to the air and immediately charging towards Lu Xuan.

A beam of holy light burst from all eight of them, which intertwined and transformed into a torrent in midair before soon gushing at Lu Xuan.

All eight of them were synchronized with each other both in mind and spirit. Since all eight of them also trained in the same methods and techniques, every single knight was at the peak of the Airborne Realm as well. With all eight of them working together, common Airborne Realm beings would have ended up severely injured or even killed where they stood.

Taking out an Airborne Realm being with a single move was in their case, we turned it from an aspiration to a reality.

Even among over 100 Airborne Realm cultivators present, only a few of them sported powers eclipsing that of the eight knights. The number of those with equal power to theirs were also few.

All the other cultivation forces paled in comparison to the 2000 years’ worth of history and resources of the Roman Curia.

Then again, it was Lu Xuan they were about to take on. Lu Xuan pulled his Dragonslayer from his Coiling Dragon Ring without looking before immediately slashing at them.

Boom!

The two currents clashed head-on, erupting into an extremely terrifying explosion in midair.

Even though that angel was able to easily overwhelm over 100 Airborne Realm cultivators present, Lu Xuan was able to easily crush that current coming at him as well.

The beam of his sword continued traveling without weakening, landing hard on the bodies of the eight knights.

Boom! historical

Boom!

Boom!

All eight of the knights were unable to even shriek in pain before they exploded, reducing them to bloody mist spraying all over the place.

Everyone present was now so shocked they became speechless from what they had just watched.

That Huaxian who slaughtered his way at the White House in the US was back, and he looked even more ferocious than he was before.

“Devil! He is the devil!”

“Kill him! He is a lackey of Satan!”

Countless fanatics howled in rage, unable to accept what just happened. The Eight Knights of the Faith were unable to show their world what they were truly capable of and subdue infidels before they were all killed at the Holy City of Vatican.

“Damn you, Huaxian! Why can’t you just die?!”

Pope Innocent’s eyes were reddened with utter fury as he glared at Lu Xuan.

“Today, your sins shall finally be cleansed with your own blood!”
