Suddenly, a black chain appeared from thin air, shackling her wrist.

The Pope retracted her hand, unable to draw any more cards.

The black chain stopped for a few moments, then slowly disappeared.

“Cheh, too quick, another destiny seal…” the Pope said regretfully.

“Three cards are the maximum? That’s enough”

She looked down at the card in her hand.

Black mist surrounded the border of the card.

In the middle was a portrait of a person.

The person’s face was changing constantly, first they covered their ears, appeared to be in pain; then suddenly changed to an expression of joy, waving their hands and feet about.

The Pope took and threw the card at Gu Qing Shan.

The card disappeared.

While Gu Qing Shan was still in mid-air, space around him suddenly distorted as black mist appeared, enveloping him.

“It’s over” the Pope declared.

But the next moment, a 7-colored light suddenly surrounded Gu Qing Shan.

In the air, countless flowers and beasts of luck appeared, the projection of six deities holding different weapons appeared.

The six deities stood around Gu Qing Shan, then shouted at the same time: “Hong!”

The mist that was trying to envelop Gu Qing Shan suddenly screamed, dispersed, then disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Gu Qing Shan also disappeared.

“Again? What kind of Space-type God’s Chosen Skill is this?” the Pope was surprised.

At the moment, Hurt was still holding the shield in front of himself, chanting: “I profess the being before me to be e——- Argh!”

Hurt screamed in pain again.

The pain came from his back.

I got slashed again!

The pain from the slash was nothing, Hurt could take it without any problem, but following the slash, an electricity current flowed into his body, robbing him of his ability to control himself.

Lightning Thaumaturgy ——–[Seven Shackles]!

“Arghhhhhhh!”

Hurt was trembling while floating in mid-air.

All the dark holes that were gathering and about to form a black gate once again split, moving back to their original places.

[Seven Shackles] can only stun an opponent in place for 1 second.

What can you do in 1 second?

For Gu Qing Shan, that time is enough for him to finish the last 3 consecutive strikes.

Seizing every moment he could, Gu Qing Shan swung his sword, ripping through the air and cut Hurt 3 times consecutively!

Seven strikes in a row, not missing a single one!

This is an extremely incredible feat, not only is Hurt the strongest warrior of the Holy Church, he was also holding a shield and the Pope was right there assisting him from the side.

But Gu Qing Shan was still able to pull off the seven strikes.

On the Earth Sword, the seven lights were blinking, letting out a faint ‘wu wu’ sound, almost like they were calling out to something.

The Pope couldn’t sit still anymore, scoffing: “What deep sin you carry, I will have to increase the level of your punishment”

She drew another card.

On the card was a masculine man dressed in a majestic red robe.

The cardinal, Kid.

For the last few years, no one has been able to escape while being pursued by both Hurt and Kid.

The Pope held the card in hand, about to throw it.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared again and reappeared right in front of her.

Immense wind pressure created by the sword qi surrounding himself exploded outward and swirled, creating a vacuum eye-of-the-storm effect.

He was emitting an indescribable vibration.

Arcs of blue lightning couldn’t help but emit from Gu Qing Shan’s body, merging with the vortex of sword qi, absorbing the essence of the sword qi inside.

Time stopped right at this moment.

At this very moment, Hurt had just regained his senses from being shocked, while the Pope was already holding the card in hand, about to throw it out.

At this moment, Gu Qing Shan held the sword in hand, concentrating his power.

When looking at him, the Pope suddenly had an illusion.

For that single moment, she felt like the world itself was standing on the man’s side.

For that split second, she seemed to have also realized something.

“These omens ——not good!’

Behind her, a large card suddenly appeared.

It was a golden card, depicting an angel holding a staff, descending to Earth.

As soon as the golden card appeared, a black chain manifested, then got yanked off of the Pope’s body and dissipated.

In that split second, the Pope had escaped from all the destiny seals.

She clasped both hands together as the golden card stuck fast to her back.

A glorious and massive holy light started to emit from her body.

[God’s Divine Barrier!]

At the same time, the sword qi vortex surrounding Gu Qing Shan also disappeared.

Blood flowed from every orifice on his body, his muscles started to rip apart from the invisible pressure, bringing him the intense pain of having his flesh being rended from his body.

“Hoh!”

The blood then squirted everywhere and Gu Qing Shan instantly became bloodied.

He was trembling, ready to collapse.

But this is the most important moment, he cannot fall or everything he’s done will be for nothing!

Gritting his teeth, Gu Qing Shan held his sword with both hands, then slashed forward with all his strength.

Everything happened in that moment.

The blinding light of lightning exploded outward, dyeing the entire room in a bright world of electricity.

[Seven Stars Flowing Dragon]!

All seven lights on the Earth Sword disappeared.

Instead, a terrifying dragon head made of blue lightning took their place.

Right as the dragon head appeared, it rushed outward from the sword, opening its mouth to bite down on the Pope.

Behind the dragon head, its body made up of sword qi and lightning started to manifest, turning into a full dragon and flew from the Earth Sword.

This is a 5-clawed lightning dragon.

The lightning dragon bit the Pope, broke through the roof and headed straight towards the sky.

Hurt who was floating on one side was easily brushed away by the lightning dragon, flying out of view.

In the endless darkness of the night, a brightly shining blue lightning dragon was biting on an even brighter ball of white light, moving across the sky.

The lightning dragon seemed to want to swallow the ball of light, but no matter how much it tried to, the ball was still stuck right at its mouth, unwilling to go down.

A few moments later, the white light exploded, as if it was the shining sun.

No, the white light has indeed replaced the sun.

At this moment, the Holy Empire capital’s sky was shifted from nighttime to daytime.

Everyone looked up in shock and awe of this majestic scene.

Not long after, the lightning dragon roared and unwillingly disappeared.

The white light slowly floated downward, revealing the Pope inside.

The Pope’s clothing was torn and ripped, her veil already destroyed.

She opened her dark, empty eye sockets, staring at the circus below.

“It made me use up the [God’s Divine Barrier], how detestable”

“…Such a powerful sword technique shouldn’t exist in this world”

She muttered.

In the air, ten cards flew towards and into her hand.

“How interesting, now that destiny is no longer shackling me down, I’ll enjoy torturing you”

“I’ll hide you away, pry open your secret bit by bit, and finally have you die the most horrible death that exist”

Endless white holy power emitted from her body and once again covered her up.

After determining the direction, she turned into a white streak of light as she flew toward the room in the circus.

When the Pope appeared again, she looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Right now, Gu Qing Shan was bloodied all over, leaning his back on the broken wall, unable to move.

Some sort of machine was inside the wall, but it was blocked completely from view by Gu Qing Shan’s body, she could only smell a fresh scent of maintenance fluid.

Coughing up some blood, Gu Qing Shan turned to look at the Pope and said: “I have a little gift for you”

Then he suddenly disappeared.

It was now that the Pope managed to see the intricate and complex machine that was hidden in the broken wall.

From the very start, the machine has been letting out a ‘tick’, ‘tick’ sound.

When the Pope flew over, what she saw were bright red numbers, counting down on a small screen.

“00:02”

“00:01”

“00:00”

And then, a sky-high deafening explosion rang out.

The entire circus was blown away by the intense shockwaves; the flame rose so high that black smoke started to mix with the clouds of night.
