...
The scene fell silent, no one spoke, all waiting for something.
The Bat Emperor looked down from above, his gaze swept across the gathered resources in the team, and he asked greedily:
"You... took my things?!"
"???"
The Pope's heart sank. As expected, they hadn't escaped it...
He regained his composure, feeling no great fear even when facing a Beast Emperor.
"Bat Emperor, there's no need for such talk."
The Pope looked at the other party and said, "I'll give you twenty percent of the spoils, and you let us leave safely."
"Twenty percent?"
The Bat Emperor sneered coldly, his tone extremely overbearing:
"Leave the things behind, and you can scram!"
Although he hadn't caught that damned Chen Shu, he at least had extra gains, which could compensate for the losses in his territory.
"You're going too far!"
The Pope, riding on a giant golden dragon, instantly broke free from the other party's domain skill and stared directly at the Bat Emperor, saying:
"I merely wish to avoid casualties, it doesn't mean I fear you!"
"Who are you to speak to me like this?"
The Bat Emperor let out a fierce grin, flapped his wings, and instantly a vast amount of purple poisonous mist surged out, covering the Pope.
"If you don't take the chance when it's offered, then you shall all die!"
He already harbored immense rage, and now, without hesitation, he initiated the great battle.
The Pope's expression turned angry, and he also stopped holding back, summoning four other contracted spirits and instantly unleashing various powerful skills.
Boom boom boom!
From the moment the battle began, neither side held back, both filled with overwhelming killing intent.
However, in just an instant, the Pope found himself at a disadvantage. Though it was a disadvantage, it was not a rout.
This was already a shocking feat, something a Rank Three King could never achieve.
"Interesting, no wonder you dared to negotiate with me."
The Bat Emperor's gaze turned cold, saying, "But the Legendary realm is beyond your imagination!"
In that instant, the Bat Emperor let out a sky-shattering roar, a brilliant purple light appearing in his eyes.
Hoo hoo hoo!
A violent sound erupted as the surrounding purple poisonous mist suddenly transformed into small bats, each palm-sized.
Tens of thousands of small bats, baring their fangs, gnawed at the golden dragon in front of the Pope, instantly breaking through its defenses.
"So strong..."
The Pope's expression grew solemn. He quickly had a green sapling beside him release a skill, continuously healing the golden dragon's injuries.
At the same time, he shouted, "You all retreat first! Don't mind me!"
Seeing this, the other members of the Church understood that staying would only be a burden, and without hesitation, they retreated towards the rear.
"Trying to run?"
The Bat Emperor's eyes moved, and as he was about to pursue, he was forcefully intercepted by a beam of golden light.
"Today, this old man shall witness the might of a Legendary!" Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang.
The Pope's expression was grave. He gripped a sharp long saber and slashed it across his palm.
Blood splattered out, as if controlled by an invisible force, all of it seeping into the body of the golden dragon.
Roar!
The dragon's eyes blazed, and a Legendary aura emanated from its body, instantly shattering the surrounding poisonous mist bats.
"Hmph?"
The Demon Bat Emperor's expression showed a hint of caution, and he dared not slacken in the slightest.
And just as the two sides had been fighting for a short while,
A colossal dark shadow appeared in the distant sky.
Upon closer inspection, the shadow was composed of countless bats, each exuding a powerful aura, with many at the Golden level.
The Bat Emperor's subordinates had finally arrived!
"It seems your people can't escape!"
The Bat Emperor's gaze was cold, and at the same time, he let out a fierce shriek.
The arriving fierce beasts all changed direction and began pursuing the Salvation Church members who had just left.
And although the Pope had the intention to intervene, he was powerless. Being able to temporarily intercept the Bat Emperor was all he could manage.
...
At this moment, the Salvation Church一行 people were heading towards the depths of the sea.
On one hand, they wanted to return to the Church as quickly as possible, and on the other hand, they hoped the Bat Emperor would be wary of the Shark Emperor's power and retreat on his own.
"Chen Shu... truly a scoundrel!"
Archbishop 'Xing' had anger in his eyes. He truly hadn't expected this guy to cause such trouble, even attracting a Beast Emperor.
"..."
Seeing this, the others cast strange glances,
As if we are the ones who are... the scoundrels...
However, after a moment's thought, they nodded in agreement. This guy was indeed more wicked than them...
"This bastard, if I ever get the chance, I will kill him with my own hands!"
Archbishop 'Yan', with his fiery temper, exclaimed, "Does he really think he's invincible?"
And as everyone was making threats, noisy voices were heard from the distance.
They were startled for a moment, instantly turned back to look, and then their faces changed drastically as they saw the tens of thousands of terrifying bats in the distance!
"Not good!"
Archbishop 'Xing's pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Everyone enter combat formation!"
For a time, the team was forced to stop.
The major contracted spirits appeared one after another, guarding the front of the team, preparing to strike the bat fierce beasts ahead.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides made contact, no words exchanged, and a fierce battle ensued directly!
Boom boom boom!
The bat fierce beasts were of considerable level and held a numerical advantage,
However, the Church had two top-tier experts at Rank Three King, and they did not fall into a disadvantage.
For a time, the two sides seemed to have fallen into a stalemate, neither able to overcome the other.
At this moment, Chen Shu silently arrived within the team.
He had intended to seize the opportunity to steal resources, but he was detected the moment he arrived.
Everyone had been on guard against Chen Shu, as this guy's schemes were too cunning, and everyone knew it.
"Instead of giving the resources to the fierce beasts, why not give them to me."
Chen Shu dodged skills using teleports and simultaneously tried to persuade the Church members.
"Are you not ashamed?!"
Archbishop 'Yan' roared, "Today, we'd rather destroy the resources than give them to you!"
While he said this, he didn't make a move, as no one wished for the resources to be destroyed.
Whether it was the Bat Emperor, the Church, or Chen Shu, they all deliberately avoided targeting the resources with their skills.
At this moment, the Bat Emperor also sensed Chen Shu's presence and decisively broke away from the Pope, rushing towards him.
Although the Pope's resources were tempting, killing Chen Shu, the troublemaker, was the top priority.
