Lin Lei Trapped

"Actually, there is nothing strange about it. First, I look down upon the style of the Church."

"Take the Radiant Church, for example. On the surface, they are righteous and grand, but in the shadows, they are incredibly filthy and dark."

"Your mother died because the Radiant Church sacrificed her to the Lord of Light in order to collect pure souls!"

Lei Lin sighed with emotion and continued: "As for the Dark Church, well, they are the same kind of trash."

"Because of their doctrines, their oppression of the common people is even worse."

"Second, it is because of the power of faith!"

"After becoming a god, I also need the power of faith."

"Destroying the Radiant Church and the Dark Church to establish my own power is the fastest way to obtain the power of faith."

"Just like the War God and the High Priest!"

Lin Lei: "..."

This was the first time he felt the gap in vision between himself and Lei Lin!

Before this, his greatest dream was merely to revive his family and make the name of the Dragonblood Warrior resound across the continent once again.

Yet Lei Lin was already thinking about becoming a god!

"Lin Lei, go to the O'Brien Empire. It is the holy land for warriors, and the atmosphere for martial arts is rich!"

"With the War God presiding there, the Radiant Church would not dare to be presumptuous and would not recklessly send people to hunt you down."

"As long as you hide yourself well, you can buy yourself enough time to cultivate."

"It just so happens that your younger brother is also there, so you can secretly look after him."

Lin Lei was silent again, and only after a long time did he say: "Brother Lei Lin, I will listen to you!"

"However..."

"I must kill Clyde first!"

"I cannot contend with the Radiant Church yet, but this blade called Clyde—I can't break it, I can't kill it?"

Lei Lin felt helpless and thought to himself: Clyde is destined to suffer this calamity at the hands of Lin Lei!

He gave Lin Lei a protective jade pendant and an address, then looked at the eyes that still revealed a firm murderous intent and said: "After you kill Clyde, go to the address I gave you!"

"There, I have prepared a surprise for you!"

Lin Lei did not know what the surprise Lei Lin spoke of was, but he firmly memorized the address and took out the Black Jade Stone: "Brother Lei Lin, I also have a gift for you."

Lei Lin took the Black Jade Stone and said: "Black Jade Stone, you are quite lucky!"

"However, I have no use for this thing. Hmm, come to think of it, it is not appropriate for you to only have the Violet Blood Soft Sword; that sword is too soft and too light for you right now."

"It just so happens that I am acquainted with the Hyde Family. As Violet Flame Warriors, they are uniquely gifted in weapon forging. I will have them forge a heavy sword for you."

"For now, this will be more suitable for you than the Violet Blood Soft Sword!"

After befriending the Hyde Family, the members of the Hyde Family became important resources for his research into the Vermilion Bird Bloodline.

To avoid them being caught in the crossfire of Dylin's magic beast army, he had naturally arranged for the core members of the Hyde Family to come to Hess City long ago.

Lin Lei pondered: "A heavy sword?!"

Recalling his past battles, although the Violet Blood Soft Sword was sharp, it was indeed too light. He felt he truly needed a heavy weapon.

However, this was a gift he intended to give to Lei Lin; what was the point of having a sword forged for himself?

Just as he was about to frown and refuse: "But..."

Lei Lin understood his meaning and said directly: "I don't need it. When you reach my level, you will understand that the weight of a weapon is not important."

"What is important is that it is easy to use."

"Besides, the materials used for my Judgment Hall are not as good as Black Jade, but they are equally precious, and most importantly, they are not heavy."

"I am a lightning-attribute warrior, and I have high requirements for speed. What would be the point of carrying a heavy sword?"

After saying this, he gave Lin Lei a hooded black robe and said: "I have Angel guards by my side. Although they are not from the Inquisition and their only task is to protect me."

"But you are already on the red list of the Radiant Church. To be safe, try to hide your identity from now on."

After Lin Lei put on the hooded black robe, Lei Lin continued: "I will take you to see Master Vincent of the Hyde Family in a moment."

"You can discuss with him exactly how the heavy sword should be made."

"Also, if you have anything to do, use the Communication Crystal to contact me. After all, I have Angel guards with me, so it is not convenient for us to meet often."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Clyde had eventually followed Falling Leaf and the others to Hess City.

But it was only by chance, after Falling Leaf had left, that he learned of Lin Lei's news, and he lived every day in fear and anxiety.

When the last few Ascetics by his side also left due to a secret mission, the unlucky Clyde finally fell into the hands of Lin Lei.

And because Lin Lei had already learned the truth about his parents' murder from Lei Lin, Clyde had no value to him other than being a target for his vengeance.

Lin Lei had a blast torturing him, but Clyde truly suffered a miserable fate!

However, Lei Lin did not care about any of this; what he truly cared about was Lin Lei's final tribulation.

The moment Clyde died, the tribulation descended, and six purple-robed deacons from the Inquisition who had been seeking out Ascetics surrounded him.

"Lin Lei, enjoy yourself to the fullest!"

"I will be spending most of my time in the Chaotic Territory from now on, so consider this my final act of concern for you."

"Before I make my move, enjoy one last taste of absolute despair!"

Lin Lei, who was fighting desperately alongside Beibei, began to grow anxious as they failed to break through the Angel Battle Formation no matter what they tried.

Beibei: "Squeak~ (Boss, we've caused such a huge commotion, yet Brother Lei Lin still hasn't arrived. He's probably busy with his experiments again~)"

"Squeak~ (Did Lei Lin reply to you on the Communication Crystal?)"

Lin Lei: "No. I tried to send a message using the Communication Crystal just now, but this Angel Battle Formation seems to have the ability to isolate the inside from the outside."

"The message content is completely scrambled; it won't go through at all."

Beibei: "Squeak~ (If only we had let Lei Lin know before we came to kill Clyde~)"

Lin Lei: "Sigh~, who would have thought that after tailing him for so long and thinking there was absolutely no risk, we would actually run into people from the Radiant Church."

"And I remember now, Brother Lei Lin once said that apart from having people who are invincible below the Saint Realm like him, the Radiant Church also has this Angel Battle Formation that poses a threat to us."

"We can't drag this out!"

"Focus on breaking one point of the formation, otherwise we might really be finished today."

Beibei: "Squeak~ (Alright, Boss, let's attack that one together!)"

Afterward, the two of them realized that the Angel Battle Formation could concentrate all of its battle qi energy onto a single person, and Delin even remarked that the person who concentrated all that energy was only a hair's breadth away from the Saint Realm.

This made Lin Lei understand even more why Lei Lin said that without reaching the Saint Realm, he would struggle even to protect himself.

Feeling Lin Lei trapped within the Angel Battle Formation with no way to heaven and no door to the earth, Lei Lin sighed: "This Angel Battle Formation has decent power, but its requirements for energy purity are too high."

"Once I reach the Saint Realm and attain eternal life, I will try to research and replicate it."

"Hmm, this fluctuation of spiritual energy is..."
