The situation was extremely unfavorable for Linley's side.
And the most dangerous position of all was held by Linley himself.
Under the siege of two masked men, Linley could only struggle to hold his ground, while at this moment, the Radiant Pope Heidens and the Dark Pope Affleck, who had not yet made a move, had finished their preparations.
From the very beginning of the battle, Heidens had taken out the Holy See's supreme treasure, the Bible. He stroked the Bible with his hand, his mouth continuously chanting incantations.
Affleck was doing the same, holding a black crystal ball in his hand, his lips moving slightly.
Both men finished their incantations at the same time.
Heidens: "Life—Deprivation!"
Affleck: "Power of Evil!"
The spell Heidens cast was the Fate Law. His attainment in the Fate Law was far superior to Benjamin's, and with the enhancement of the Bible, its power was even greater.
Affleck cast a forbidden dark secret technique—the Power of Evil.
This forbidden magic was a simplified version of the profound mystery of "Evil" within the Laws of Darkness, capable of controlling a person's mind and soul.
Two soul attacks plunged into Linley's body simultaneously, slamming into his mind.
Linley's body shuddered, his movements turning rigid.
The two masked men seized this opportunity to launch an attack on Linley at the same time.
"Boss!" Bebe shouted anxiously. He wanted to save him, but he simply couldn't shake off the entanglement of the masked man in front of him.
"Get lost!" Bebe roared helplessly.
"Oh no!" At this moment, Desri and his few close friends finally arrived, but it was already too late to provide aid.
"Go to hell, Linley!" Heidens watched coldly as Linley, suffering from the soul attacks, stood there with a vacant expression.
Even if Linley could withstand the soul attacks from him and Affleck, it would be useless, because the two masked men had already struck. Aside from a Deity-level expert, who could block a joint strike from two peak Saint Realm experts?
"Puff!" "Puff!"
Two muffled sounds rang out; the masks shattered, and the heads exploded.
A beam of white light shot from afar, instantly piercing through the heads of the two masked men.
"Who is it?" Heidens was incredulous, assuming a Deity-level expert had intervened.
"Mr. Liewen!" Linley finally regained his senses. Just now, he had relied on the Coiling Dragon Ring to withstand the soul attacks of the two Popes.
"Kill them first, talk later!"
Liewen didn't say much, wielding the Angel Longsword as he charged toward Heidens.
"Run!"
Seeing the situation turn dire, Heidens wanted to flee. He was not slow, but Liewen was faster.
The Angel Battle Sword swept past, and Heidens's head fell into the Liuyan River below.
Liewen stored the Bible into his own spatial ring.
"Got it."
He looked toward the other side of the battlefield.
His instant kill of two peak Saint Realm experts with a single sword strike had already terrified the forces of the two great churches.
Luoye, Useno, Ocasio, and Clemerson turned and fled, transforming into streaks of light of various colors and disappearing into the horizon.
The remaining two masked men also wanted to leave, but they were intercepted by Linley and Desri, while the other Radiant Angels and Fallen Angels were killed by Barker, Bebe, Sessler, and Desri's friends together.
"Who are you people?" Linley faced the gray-robed masked man and asked coldly.
Four peak Saint Realm experts had suddenly appeared; how could he not be curious?
If Liewen hadn't arrived in time, he would have already been killed.
The gray-robed masked man did not answer, instead looking toward Liewen.
After killing Heidens, Liewen flew toward the remaining two gray-robed masked men.
"You cannot kill me; our master is Lady Lolita."
The gray-robed masked man confronting Linley said to Liewen.
At this moment, the two gray-robed masked men were surrounded by Linley and the others.
"Lady Lolita?"
Everyone wore expressions of confusion. Liewen looked at Desri; among the people here, Desri was the most knowledgeable.
Desri shook his head, signaling that he did not recognize any "Lady Lolita" either.
"Who is this Lady Lolita you speak of?" Liewen asked.
"Lady Lolita is a great Deity-level expert," the gray-robed masked man said.
Linley and the others looked at each other, becoming even more puzzled. There were only five Deity-level experts in the Yulan Continent, and none of them were named Lolita.
Liewen, however, had a guess in his heart; he thought of that magic array within the Sunset Mountain Range.
This Lolita is very likely a God-level powerhouse who escaped from that weak point in space within the Sunset Mountain Range.
In the original story, such a God-level powerhouse did not exist.
In fact, when Liewen arrived here and saw these four masked men with the strength of peak Saint Realm experts, he already felt that something was wrong.
He realized that the plot of the original story had changed.
In the original plot, these four masked men did not exist; Linley's side had killed Useno, the Hellfire Phoenix, the Fallen Angel leader Clemerson, and numerous angels before Desri and the others arrived, holding the absolute advantage.
Linley only encountered danger when facing Heidens' Fate Law, but he managed to survive it by relying on the Coiling Dragon Ring.
In the original version, the ones who escaped from the Radiant Church were Heidens and Luoye, but now, it was Useno and Luoye.
The reason Liewen decisively killed Heidens was precisely because he discovered that the plot had already changed.
Since it had already changed, he no longer had any reservations and went straight for the kill.
"You ask me to let you go, but I have already killed two of your companions. Do you really think that if I let you go, this Lolita you speak of will spare me?" Liewen asked.
"This..."
The two grey-robed masked men hesitated slightly. Based on their understanding of Lolita, Liewen was undoubtedly a dead man, but naturally, they could not say that now.
The hesitation of the two fell into Liewen's eyes; his gaze turned cold, and he decisively struck with his sword.
"No!" The two grey-robed masked men panicked and resisted with all their might.
Two beams of white light shot out, piercing through the heads of the grey-robed masked men, killing them on the spot.
The hesitation of the two just now made Liewen understand.
Since he had already offended that Lolita, there was no point in hoping to ease the relationship.
All four masked men had spatial rings on them.
After killing the two, Liewen collected their spatial rings along with those of the two masked men he had killed earlier.
Inside the spatial rings, there might be some information regarding that Lolita.
"Mr. Liewen, thanks to you just now, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Linley flew toward Liewen to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome."
"Liewen, have you already become a god?" Desri also flew over, asking curiously.
He was already a peak Saint Realm expert, yet Liewen was so much stronger than him that he could only assume Liewen had become a Lowgod.
Over the years, Desri had exchanged pointers with Liewen, but Liewen had never used his full strength, so Desri did not know that Liewen was this powerful.
It wasn't just Desri who was curious; everyone present was curious.
"Not yet, my comprehension of the laws is just relatively high, but I am close to becoming a god," Liewen said.
He was already a peak Saint Realm expert based solely on his comprehension of the Light Element profound mystery, and when combined with his comprehension of the Purification profound mystery, his fused profound mysteries, and a body comparable to the Four Ultimate Warriors, he was naturally far stronger than ordinary peak Saint Realm experts.
Linley was thoughtful; of everyone present, only he could roughly understand some of it.
Because Linley's current comprehension of the Pulse of the Earth profound mystery was still at the level of 256 waves, and he was still a long way from fusing those 256 waves into one.
It was much the same regarding his comprehension of the Wind laws' profound mysteries.
But even so, by relying on the powerful body of a Dragonblood Warrior, he already possessed combat power comparable to a peak Saint Realm expert, and once he cultivated the Pulse of the Earth profound mystery to the final step, he would also be much stronger than ordinary peak Saint Realm experts.
