One Against Three

Faced with Luo Jun's fist, Bishop Jacob looked surprised, but he did not panic. He unleashed a complex Vital Energy Wave, seemingly constructing some kind of defensive spell in an instant!

The First-class Expert, second only to the Peak; we cannot underestimate him!

Luo Jun didn't hold back, unleashing his full power. His fist crushed the air, releasing a ring of white mist!

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, a figure was sent flying backward, crashing into the rock wall of the Secret Chamber with a loud thud. It wasn't Bishop Jacob, but Luo Jun!

Luo Jun wiped the blood from his nose and looked at the bishop in the distance. This old man was not easy to deal with.

Just as his fist struck the other person, it suddenly vanished, and at the same moment, his fist reappeared before his eyes, striking him squarely in the face!

Attack bounce? No, it should be Space Teleportation!

Using Space Gate, he redirected Luo Jun's punch to his own face... This is an unbeatable defensive technique!

No, if it's a Law Technique attack with an all-around range, it would be quite difficult for him to move around... This move is specifically designed to counter melee fighters!

Indeed, one cannot underestimate experts in the Heart Refining Realm... Although their Root Bone constitution and mental strength are far inferior to mine, their various strange methods and flexible tactics make them much more difficult to deal with than those foolish monsters!

We need to find a way to break through this old thing's defenses!

Just as he was pondering, a huge fireball shot towards him. Luo Jun hurriedly dodged, and with a loud bang, a huge Molten Pit was blasted into the hard rock wall!

Before he could even land and steady himself, Holy Knight Hank charged forward, wielding his greatsword. Some kind of jet propulsion mechanism deployed on the back of his armor, instantly accelerating him to the front of Luo Jun!

Clang!

Luo Jun swung his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, knocking away Hank's longsword. The powerful force almost made Hank's arms go numb, and his weapon nearly slipped from his grasp!

However, as his vital energy circulated, his armor began to transform and unfold, instantly covering his entire body and turning into a fully enclosed Powered Armor. Mechanical arms helped him grip his weapons, and he attacked again!

Clang!

Luo Jun frowned slightly. This guy's strength had greatly increased. Although he was still not as strong as himself, he could no longer overwhelm him!

"What's going on...?"

"How long has it been since Parami had an earthquake...? I feel like something exploded underground!"

In that split second of hesitation, the Firebird arrived. At the last moment, a Teleportation Gate appeared behind Hank, allowing him to step back and successfully escape. Only Luo Jun remained standing in place. Flames exploded, and the entire space trembled in the blast...

Luo Jun gritted his teeth, risking injury, and withstood Hank's attack, unleashing the full power of his Azure Dragon Blade!

On the surface, the residents of Paramis City felt a slight tremor coming from underground and began to discuss it in a somewhat panicked manner.

Just as panic gripped the city, the city's public address system announced, "The Holy See reminds you that a minor earthquake has just been detected near Parami. If any residents felt the tremors, this is normal; please do not panic..."

"Was it an earthquake...?"

He glanced at the bishop behind him. This guy's attack redirection technique could not only defend himself, but also others?

This armor... Epic-level? Or even higher?

The Qi at the Body Refinement Realm can only amplify physical strength by one to two times, but the Qi at the higher-level Foundation Establishment Realm can amplify it by more than ten times. If it is the Heart Refining Realm of Martial Combat Faction, the strength and efficiency of Qi are further improved, and the effect may be amplified by another ten times!

Luo Jun's physical strength is now thousands of times that of an ordinary person. With the help of his vital energy, it should be more than ten thousand times that of an ordinary person, possessing a strength of a thousand tons. He can easily crush most Martial Combat Faction. However, even a top expert like Hank can barely withstand him with the amplification of his Noble Phantasm!

As long as he can hold off the attacks, that's enough. He's not the real damage dealer among the three!

Luo Jun was locked in combat with Hank when he suddenly heard a shrill scream. Sister Salina burst into flames, and a giant Firebird detached from her body and took flight, flapping its wings toward Luo Jun!

That's dangerous... Get out of the way!

Luo Jun was about to retreat, but Hank attacked relentlessly, giving him no chance to disengage!

Brush!

Just as the blade was about to strike, it was suddenly swallowed up by a void. At the same time, Luo Jun felt a chill on his back, and blood splattered out!

"Could it be gas...?"

"It really was an earthquake..." The residents breathed a sigh of relief.

"The broadcast has been sent out..." Inside Parami Cathedral, several elderly clergy members spoke with grave expressions, "But it can only temporarily calm the citizens... I wonder how the battle is going for His Lord Bishop and the others underground..."

"With such a commotion, even a Peak might not be able to withstand it."

"Yes, that's Level Zero Containment Facility, a place that once contained the Remnants of the Old Gods. It can't possibly be destroyed."

"I hope so... So much has happened lately..."

Inside the underground containment facility.

After being bombarded by Shalina's Firebird, a huge Molten Pit appeared on the ground, and the temperature of the entire facility soared by hundreds of degrees. Even the bishop and the nun, protected by their protective aura, could feel the scorching heat.

"Isn't this a bit too much..." Beyond the billowing smoke, the Holy Knight looked at the nun beside him. "Your fire abilities are already strong enough, and you even used a whole bottle of Epic-level amplification potion. Are you planning to blow this place up?"

"Where do you think this is?" Shalina scoffed. "If it could be blown up so easily, the Eye of Carl Ruth would have escaped long ago."

"But this kid is really amazing!" Hank sighed. "Even with my Emperor Armor running at full power, he's completely suppressing me... Is he really not at his Peak?"

"No..." it was Bishop Jacob who spoke, "At least not yet... He doesn't exude that oppressive aura of the Three Realm Fusion ... On the contrary, he gives me a sense of incompleteness. I even feel that his true realm is probably quite low..."

"Very low?" Hank looked surprised. "My lord, what nonsense are you talking about? When Gonzales was at his Peak, I sparred with him, and he didn't make me look this bad..."

"It's a friendly spar, so of course I'll let you win!" Shalina complained from the side.

"I don't need you to remind me!" Hank said, displeased.

"Stop arguing!" Bishop Jacob snapped at the two. "Something's wrong. There's something in that thick smoke..."

As the thick fog dissipated, a pale yellow light appeared, revealing a hemispherical shield that shimmered slightly. Inside stood Night, wearing a mask, with a blue mechanism beside her releasing a warm, healing mist...

"My Phoenix has been blocked!" Shalina exclaimed in shock. "What kind of shield is that?"

"No matter what it is, we can't let him heal us!" Hank was the first to rush forward, his longsword flashing, and several golden sword lights struck the shield, causing the yellow light to flicker frequently.

"What a powerful attack..." Bathed in the warm mist, Luo Jun's gaze passed over the Holy Knight and fell on Sister Salina was preparing a new Ultimate Move not far behind him.

"This is the first time that even the Earth Shield almost couldn't withstand the attack." Luo Jun looked around at the increasingly dim protective shield as the Holy Knight attacked.

If I were to get hit, I'd be half-dead, if not dead... This woman seems to be the biggest threat; I need to take her down first!

Feeling that the wounds on his back had almost healed, Luo Jun crouched down slightly and suddenly deactivated the Earth Shield.

The Holy Knight's sword missed its mark, and he staggered. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Jun suddenly exerted his strength and charged towards the nun!
