Unrivaled Strength!

These people were too close; using high-level magic to kill them was clearly not an option—it would cause collateral damage!

Seeing that they were about to release their magic, and the Black Beast Demons were swarming in!

Song Jie curled his lips, then completed his magic!

"Radiance!"

"Enhanced Great Burst!"

In an instant, a ball of light shot out from Song Jie's palm and exploded right in front of the Black Beast Demons!

With a "boom," the charging Black Beast Demons were obliterated, not even leaving a corpse behind.

At that moment, the Gray-robed Believers who were about to cast their spells were stunned.

Wasn't this guy just a student?

How was he this strong?

Without giving them any courtesy, Song Jie completed his next spell!

Multiple Light Arrows!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Golden orbs continuously flew from his palm, transforming into golden arrows that shot straight toward the members of the Black Vatican!

The arrows were as fast as lightning, instantly piercing through those people, leaving gaping holes!

Sharper than a sword, and with a burning effect to boot!

"Ah!!"

They screamed in agony, then all died from the pain.

The Black-robed Priest watched the scene before him, his brow furrowed deeply. He had never expected Song Jie to be this strong!

There were over twenty Gray-robed Believers and Black Beast Demons combined, and they had been taken out in an instant?!

"Isn't this guy a Light Mage? Why is his magic attack so powerful?!" The Black-robed Priest had thought capturing Song Jie would be easy, but this was the result.

Still, even so, he was confident he could win—because he was an Intermediate Mage!

Not only that, but he also had a Curse Beast, which was enough to match an Intermediate Mage!

No matter how strong you are, you can't fight two at once, right?!

With that thought, the Black-robed Priest mustered his courage and cast a spell at Song Jie!

"Fierce Fist!"

"Sky Shock!"

The Black-robed Priest completed his magic star chart, and a red pattern appeared beneath his feet!

Flames climbed up his arm, and he punched fiercely in Song Jie's direction.

Song Jie had just finished off the other Gray-robed Believers. Seeing the Black-robed Priest casting magic at him, a Golden Scroll appeared in his hand!

"Light Blessing!"

"Holy Shield!"

Even without controlling his star particles, he could still release magic using the Star Atlas Book.

This was a mid-level Light magic skill, also a defensive type.

In the blink of an eye, a golden light layer formed around Song Jie, enveloping him completely.

The opponent's flames surged like a fist, instantly engulfing him.

But when the flames receded, Song Jie stood there before him, completely unharmed.

"A Star Atlas Book!"

The Black-robed Priest clearly recognized the Star Atlas Book as well. He nearly ground his teeth to dust.

But!

He let out a cold sneer: "So what if you have a Star Atlas Book! You're dead this time!"

Suddenly!

To Song Jie's left, on top of a tall building, a Curse Beast was crouching!

It had taken advantage of Song Jie's fight with the Black-robed Priest to sneak close to him.

This was exactly why the Black-robed Priest was so sure Song Jie was done for!

"It worked!" Seeing the Curse Beast close in on Song Jie, he was overjoyed!

But the next moment!

Song Jie suddenly raised his arm toward the Curse Beast, and a Golden Beam shot from his palm!

With a "boom," the Curse Beast's flesh exploded!

Song Jie quickly dodged to the side—he had no desire to be splattered with that disgusting mess.

But!

The Black-robed Priest was completely stunned!!

How could this be?!

How?!

His Curse Beast had been instantly killed by a single skill!!

While he was still reeling in shock, the Black-robed Priest saw Song Jie appear before him.

"I'll give you a chance. Tell me where the other Black Vatican members are, and I'll spare your life." Song Jie said coldly.

The next second, he abruptly unleashed the "Light Arrow" magic skill at the other man's leg!

The Black-robed Priest collapsed, letting out a scream!!

"I don't know!" He stared at his bloody leg, still stubbornly refusing.

"I like stubborn people like you the most." Song Jie might have read too many novels and felt a personal grudge, so he had no goodwill toward the Black Vatican.

Besides, he was now in Bo City himself. If he were an ordinary person, he might have died long ago.

"Ah!!"

The Black-robed Priest's other leg was also crippled, and he let out an even sharper scream.

"You still have your hands. I hope you keep being stubborn." Song Jie said, looking at him.

This man was a Black-robed Priest in the Black Vatican, a higher rank than those Gray-robed Believers.

So he definitely knew more Black Vatican secrets than the others.

If he wouldn't talk, fine!

Take it slow!

"Ah!!"

The Black-robed Priest screamed, utterly miserable.

"Kill me!"

"Kill me!"

The man cried out in agony, clearly refusing to confess.

Song Jie sensed demons approaching nearby and quickly hid.

Soon!

Those demons, drawn by the scent of blood, found the spot and lunged at the Black-robed Priest!

Then, an even more wretched sound echoed through the area!

Song Jie knew this guy was dead, and died horribly—a fitting punishment.

Just as he was leaving, a graceful figure also tracked him down and spotted him.

"Song Jie!?"

The newcomer was Tang Yue. She saw Song Jie walking over.

At that moment, her black stockings were torn, revealing her fair skin.

"Didn't Zhan Kong send someone to notify you to leave? Why are you here?" Tang Yue asked, puzzled.

Song Jie replied, "We didn't receive the notice. After we came out of the Sacred Spring, we found that the Military Mage sent to inform us had been killed by demons."

"At least you're safe." Tang Yue had thought Song Jie and Mo Fan had already left the Sacred Spring.

"By the way, isn't Mo Fan with you? Where did he go?"

To her, Mo Fan was just as important as Song Jie, since he was also a rare talent.

"We ran into the Black Vatican on the way. Mo Fan is currently fighting them." Song Jie explained.

"Black Vatican members? Where are they?" Tang Yue was still in Bo City precisely to hunt down the Black Vatican.

"I'll take you there."

"Then why were you here?"

"I was chasing a Black Vatican member and ended up here." Song Jie said.

Tang Yue asked, "Where did they go?"

"Killed by demons." Song Jie pointed in the direction where the Black Vatican members had been slain.

"Take me to see."

When they arrived, the Black Vatican members had already been devoured beyond recognition.

Still, Tang Yue could guess from the torn clothing on the ground that these were indeed Black Vatican members.

"Is there also a man in black robes?" Tang Yue asked.

"Seems like it."

Song Jie nodded.

"Well done. This counts as a significant achievement." Tang Yue patted Song Jie on the shoulder.

She knew the Black Vatican couldn't have been killed by demons alone—Song Jie's help was likely involved.

"Let's go. We'll regroup with Mo Fan." Tang Yue said.

"Alright!"

Song Jie nodded and walked ahead of Tang Yue.
