The Pope, having missed his first attack, did not hesitate. He flipped his wrists, and as his crossed arms opened outwards, his long sword also twisted 180 degrees, once again slashing across Chen Mo's neck from both sides.

Chen Mo didn't have time to adjust his gun's aim and could only once again meet the incoming longsword with the barrel of his gun.

Taking advantage of the moment the long sword was blocked, the Pope instantly released the hilt with both hands and quickly flipped his wrists, changing from holding the sword with a reverse grip to holding it with a forward grip.

After blocking the double swords twice with his pistol, Chen Mo realized that the pistol was completely ineffective when facing the Pope wielding a long sword at close range.

Previously, when using a pistol, Chen Mo could use his arm to block the Pope's arm and move the muzzle away. But now, facing the twin swords, he could only use the barrel of the gun to block, which was extremely inconvenient. Moreover, facing the Pope's rapid attack, he had no chance to aim and shoot.

So, taking advantage of the Pope's change of hands, Chen Mo quickly retreated to create distance, and finally had time to turn his gun around and fire a bullet at the Pope.

"Clang! Clang!"

Two bright silver lights flashed, followed by two crisp metallic clangs. The Pope was still standing there unharmed, but his twin swords had two new scratches on them. He had actually blocked the bullet fired by Chen Mo with the blades of his swords.

It's not that his speed was faster than the bullet, but rather that he predicted the bullet's trajectory based on Chen Mo's movements and blocked the bullet's path with his knife before Chen Mo fired, thus creating the effect of the knife blocking the bullet.

Before Chen Mo could continue firing, the Pope charged forward again with his sword, clearly intending to use the advantage of his longsword to engage Chen Mo in close combat.

Seeing the Pope charging towards him, Chen Mo knew that even if he continued firing, the Pope would only block it all with his knife. Since that was the case...

The Pope unleashed his speed and quickly reached Chen Mo, simultaneously slashing at Chen Mo's neck and abdomen with both swords.

Pistols are not cold weapons after all, and they are not as good as daggers for parrying. He barely managed to block the knife when he hastily drew it earlier. Next, the Pope was confident that under his storm of rapid attacks, those two pistols alone would not be able to stop all of his attacks.

He refused to believe that Chen Mo's bulletproof vest had no flaws. If one slash wasn't enough to kill him, then he would slash him a hundred times, a thousand times. Under his blade, Chen Mo's two pistols were completely reduced to scrap metal.

Just when the Pope thought the situation was settled, what happened before his eyes puzzled him at first, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ding! Ding!"

Immediately afterwards, two crisp metallic clangs rang out, but the sound was different from when the longsword struck the pistol. It was crisper and more pleasant to hear, and the blade did not sway as it had when the pistol was used to parry the blow. Instead, it was steadily blocked.

Just moments before, as the Pope's longsword struck, Chen Mo suddenly released his pistol. The next instant, two black samurai swords, standard issue for priests, appeared out of thin air in Chen Mo's hands. With a swing of his sword, he met the incoming longsword head-on and steadily blocked the Pope's attack.

The Pope stared at the katana in Chen Mo's hand, unable to understand where he had taken it from.

Next, it was time for instruction. Pope Ren unleashed his best-kept enhanced swordsmanship, but he still couldn't do anything to Chen Mo. Instead, Chen Mo learned all of his swordsmanship.

Although Chen Mo's swordsmanship had reached a state of perfection after combining the Holy Cross Swordsmanship and Alexander Corvinus's extraordinary swordsmanship, the Pope's swordsmanship was a completely different system. It used scientific deduction to achieve the shortest attack distance, the fastest attack speed, and the greatest attack effect. It was simple, direct, and efficient, which matched Chen Mo's fighting style very well.

Although it wasn't as sophisticated as Chen Mo's swordsmanship, the ability to apply knowledge to different situations still allowed Chen Mo to improve his swordsmanship, which hadn't progressed in a long time.

After discovering that his pistol was useless against the Pope's longsword, Chen Mo decided to switch to a melee weapon as well. Although he didn't have one on him, he had plenty in his spatial storage.

Instead of using the King's Sword, Chen Mo took out two priest's samurai swords from his spatial storage. At Chen Mo's current level, there was little difference between the swords and the samurai swords, and he could wield them at will.

So far, Chen Mo has made great progress in Gun Fu, gun skills, close-quarters gun skills, and swordsmanship. This "meeting" with the Pope can be said to have been very fruitful.

However, that's where it ends. Chen Mo has forced out all of the Pope's potential and hidden resources. Now that he has used all his strength, he can no longer provide Chen Mo with any further improvement.

Since that's the case, it's about time to end this.

But in the end, there was still one thing I hadn't tried, so I decided to get the complete set.

Chen Mo forcefully flicked his twin swords, knocking the katana from the Pope's hand. He then sheathed his weapons and lunged forward, engaging the Pope in combat once more with his fists and feet.

Chen Mo was somewhat disappointed this time. Having lost his pistol and weapons, in a one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, although the Pope's fighting ability was still very strong, he did not have any more amazing performances. There was nothing more for Chen Mo to learn in terms of fighting skills. Under Chen Mo's profound fighting skills, he was almost completely suppressed by him.

It can be said that Chen Mo has squeezed the Pope's value dry, so it's time to end this!

At this moment, Chen Mo no longer held back. Although he did not use his full strength, he fully displayed his master-level fighting skills and quickly overwhelmed the Pope, leaving him unable to keep up. In the end, under the Pope's gaze filled with terror, resentment, and disbelief, Chen Mo shattered his throat with a single punch, killing him on the spot!

It's a pity that a martial arts master of his generation, who had created a unique Gun Fu, was completely helpless against Chen Mo, who cheated with equipment. Not only did he learn all his secret Gun Fu techniques, but he also spent half a day as a sparring partner, helping Chen Mo hone his skills. He watched as Chen Mo went from being far inferior to him and easily defeated to being able to completely overwhelm him, leaving him with no chance to fight back.

Of course, this was also because Chen Mo intentionally controlled his reaction, speed, and strength, keeping them at a similar level. Otherwise, even if his skills in some aspects were inferior, Chen Mo could easily defeat him with his superior physical abilities, which far exceeded those of ordinary people.

With this, all the high-ranking members of the Church were killed, creating a complete vacuum in Libya's ruling class. However, apart from Chen Mo and other members of the Resistance Organization, the outside world knew nothing about this.

After killing the Pope, Chen Mo took out a body bag from his spatial storage, squatted down, and reached out to put the Pope's corpse on the ground, preparing to put it in. Just as his fingers touched the Pope's chest, the sensation made Chen Mo realize something was wrong.
