Chapter 108 Face the Pope!
"We can't return directly. We must get permission. I'll find a way."
said the cardinal.
He thought for a while, took out his phone and dialed a number and said: "There is no problem with the sacrificial place in the military camp. Do I want to return to the Holy See to get the sacrificial materials?"
"What? Didn't you get the casting materials?" The voice on the other side was a little surprised.
"It's too valuable, locked in a drawer and forgotten," said the cardinal.
"This..." The voice was still hesitant.
"Quickly, just give me twenty minutes." The cardinal said.
"Okay, hurry up and don't delay things." The voice said.
"Understood," said the cardinal.
He hung up the phone and said to Wu Xiaode: "I can bring you in, but I may not be able to see the Pope."
"Go in first and then talk." Wu Xiaode said.
"Let's go."
The cardinal went down the stairs.
Around him, the beheaded demons recovered, followed closely behind him, and walked out of the building together.
……
Holy See.
The cardinal stood in a large room and said: "Okay, the most I can do is bring you here, what should I do next?"
"Call someone - no matter who it is." Wu Xiaode said.
The cardinal took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, please come to my place to discuss some things."
The other side responded.
The phone hangs up.
The cardinal said: "This person is one of the three pastors. Their status is second only to the bishop. Please take it seriously, otherwise it will be over if you make a fuss."
"Okay, I understand." Wu Xiaode said.
His body disappeared into the mist.
Soon.
Tuk tuk tuk——
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," said the cardinal.
The door opens.
A man in a robe walked into the room and asked with a gloomy face: "You even forgot to bring the sacrificial magic materials. Don't you know that now is the most critical moment?"
"Actually, I came back specifically to see you."
"See me?"
"Yes," the cardinal took out a small bag from the drawer and handed it over and said, "Sir, this is my little thought, please accept it."
The man took the bag skillfully and dumped it directly on the table.
Dozens of colorful gems rolled out and hit the table, making a crisp sound.
Even people who don’t know anything about jewelry can see how beautiful and pure these gems are.
The Patriarch's face softened slightly, and his tone slowed down and he said:
"Tell me what's going on."
"During the ceremony tomorrow, I want to stand closer to you, preferably right next to you." The cardinal said.
Wu Xiaode listened and couldn't help but almost cheered.
These ghosts are really using their brains to do things.
Offering such a precious gem was ostensibly a request for help from the Patriarch, but in fact it was a show of loyalty.
——At such an important moment, I want to stand by your side and move closer to you.
——I also donated so many gems just to achieve such a simple thing.
The patriarch has gained loyalty and tribute, so how can he blame the bishop?
I saw that all the anger and irritability of the Patriarch had disappeared, a slight smile appeared on his face, he lowered his head and put away the gem:
"Very good, I will arrange this matter, don't worry about it."
Wu Xiaode grabbed the handle of Chui Meng Dao.
This is the heavily guarded Holy See.
The cardinal expressed his personal loyalty.
The Patriarch was now in full swing and began to think about the Cardinal's surrender.
It was the best opportunity to kill him.
Wu Xiaode stood in the mist, his head lowered, holding down the knife, and began to gather strength.
"My lord, I have something private to tell you about the other bishops," the cardinal whispered.
"Say it," the Patriarch said.
"The bishops of the five eastern countries say privately that you are not worthy of being the Patriarch." the cardinal said.
"Oh? He may have drunk too much." The Patriarch said calmly.
"No, the Pope was actually present that day," the cardinal said.
"What? The Pope is here?" The Patriarch became alert.
"Yes, that day was a secret discussion——"
The cardinal leaned forward and whispered.
Wu Xiaode's knife moved.
This knife is not very fast, but rather slow.
slow.
Then there is no sound.
He controlled the thoughts in his heart again and prevented the murder from being revealed.
The killing of the cardinal just now was detected in advance because the murderous intention was too strong.
Learn a lesson this time!
Swish——
The long knife silently drew an arc, passed through the Patriarch's neck, and chopped off his head.
Bai Hu shouted: "Get up!"
The body fell to the ground, and before the blood even flowed out, he immediately got up, picked up his head and put it on his neck.
"I want to kill the Pope, do you have any idea?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"I'm just one of the three patriarchs. Killing me is of no use." The patriarch began to consider the problem from the perspective of Wu Xiaode and Bai Hu.
"Then kill a few more until you find the Pope." Wu Xiaode said.
"Okay, I'll call another bishop. I'll kill him here." The Patriarch said.
——Becoming a ghost, he immediately forgot his original intention and began to think about plans to kill more people.
The Patriarch made a phone call.
Soon.
Tuk tuk tuk——
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The door opens.
An old man walked in and said with a smile: "I have seen the Patriarch and the Cardinal."
"I came to see you this time to discuss something," the Patriarch said.
"What happened?"
"We have discussed it and want to promote you to be Cardinal Cardinal."
"What? Sir, I am already so old, do I really still have a chance?"
"Yes."
Swish——
Next, knocks on the door will sound every once in a while.
Later, Wu Xiaode had to hide some people in the fog to make the whole thing not seem so outrageous and unbelievable.
"Who knows where the Pope is?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Two patriarchs, three cardinals, six archbishops, and dozens of bishops shook their heads.
"It's strange...the founding of the country is tomorrow, but the Pope is nowhere to be seen today..."
Wu Xiaode murmured.
suddenly.
A strange wave came from far to near.
The goblin armor on his body suddenly made a dense metal collision sound, as if it had been hit by something.
Completely too late to react——
boom! ! !
The entire building seemed to have been hit, the walls were scattered, all the furniture was reduced to pieces, and the bricks were spinning and falling.
The dirty devil's hand stood in front of Wu Xiaode, sucking away part of the invisible attack until it could no longer bear it and then turned into smoke.
On the goblin armor, the scales seemed to come alive, opening and closing and twisting, as if trying to remove the power.
Despite this, Wu Xiaode still flew out and landed in the square outside the church.
A deep hole was made in the ground.
A voice came from mid-air:
"Got you."
Between the lightning and flint——
All the surrounding scenes flashed away.
When Wu Xiaode stood up, the world had turned into a different look.
This is a large arena.
The floor is made entirely of cast bronze, deep and hard.
The stands were empty all around.
Only a man in black robes stood in the center of the arena.
He has a pair of gray eyes, high cheekbones, a pale face, and holds a bloody scepter.
——The Pope of the Holy Religion!
"Welcome, Wu Xiaode," the Pope said.
Wu Xiaode moved his body, but felt a faint pain in his back.
That move just now was too cruel.
White Tiger quietly appeared next to him and whispered: "Are you going to let the ghost go?"
"Let's hold on for now." Wu Xiaode said.
He looked at the Pope opposite and said, "If I guessed correctly, that move just now did not belong to you."
"I used the power of God to find you. Now that we have entered the exclusive sacrificial platform, you can't run away." The Pope said with a gloomy look.
God?
Wu Xiaode became alert.
The move just now was clearly a weakened version of "Wanxiang Senluo".
This is the ability of the Cyclops!
"How many souls did you sacrifice before your god gave you such power?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Who knows, after all, there is no end to loyalty and devotion to God." The Pope shook his head.
A crack opened on his forehead, and then a vertical pupil opened.
The vertical pupils stared directly at Wu Xiaode.
"I want to say that you did a good job and killed many people in my holy religion——"
"But that's it," the Pope said slowly, "After you die, your Xia Huilan will also go to hell to find you, and that's all our words."
The vertical pupil immediately released a crimson ray.
But something unexpected happened.
Just before the Pope finished speaking, Wu Xiaode had already begun to secretly accumulate strength.
Before the crimson ray appeared, Wu Xiaode launched the "side flash" in advance!
Swish——
The crimson ray flew away from where Wu Xiaode originally stood, disappeared into the darkness, and disappeared.
Wu Xiaode has appeared on the other side of the arena.
The smile on the Pope's face froze.
Wu Xiaode also breathed a sigh of relief.
The crimson ray cannot be avoided, but this time it is a weakened version of the ray, so there are some opportunities.
I have been killed by this move countless times, and I have gained experience and experience. Finally, at the critical moment, I launched the "side dodge" in advance and avoided this fatal move in one fell swoop.
"It's rare...no one in the world should be able to do this..."
The Pope murmured in a low voice, stretched out his hand, and slapped Wu Xiaode from the air.
Wu Xiaode's eyes twitched.
I also know this trick!
There is no doubt that this is a giant's slap from the air.
If used well, this move can kill the target directly!
If you want to hide——
Two demonic hands suddenly appeared in the void, stacked in front of them in the air, and smashed forward like cannon hammers!
The invisible force erupted with a deafening roar.
The secret of iron fist, iron hand to block the river!
As soon as this move came out, the force of the slap was blocked for a moment.
Wu Xiaode retreated backwards and immediately left the range covered by the slap.
Delayed for a moment——
boom!
A palm print appeared on the ground.
Wu Xiaode was on the edge of the palm print and escaped the blow safely.
"Impossible... this is the power of God. Human beings have never been able to resist it. Why can you block it? Or even escape it?" the Pope said in disbelief.
"It's because you are too inferior, idiot." Wu Xiaode said lightly.
In the mirror world, I fought the Cyclops so many times.
You only saw me dodge your weakened version of your moves, but you didn’t see how many times I died.
At this moment, the person fighting him was a human being.
When humans borrow the power of giants, they are naturally much inferior.
That is to say——
You have to fight!
"Have you thought about how you will die, His Holiness the Pope of the Holy Religion?"
Wu Xiaode said that he had a lot of time to relax.
He tapped his feet lightly and rushed towards the Pope.
Still halfway, Chui Meng Dao took action——
Swish, swish, swish!
Five consecutive cuts!
I saw five sharp golden threads sweeping across and heading towards the Pope.
"Don't even think about it!"
The Pope raised the red scepter in his hand high and thrust it into the ground.
Ding-dang-ding-ding-dang——
All the sword light was absorbed by the red scepter, and it struck the staff with a crisp sound.
Wu Xiaode's eyes twitched.
I have never seen this move before.
"As a human being, you are indeed very good, and your soul deserves to be dedicated to God." The Pope said.
"Your god is very familiar with me, it's better for you to die." Wu Xiaode said.
The magic hand instantly appeared in front of the Pope and unleashed a set of iron fists.
The pope was continuously beaten back, but a faint red light appeared around him, completely neutralizing the power of the iron fist.
He landed on the ground unscathed.
Wu Xiaode's expression condensed.
This is another move that I have never seen before. Speaking of which, the one-eyed giant has never used defensive moves.
Maybe it's because of this that I haven't seen it myself.
"Go to hell, Wu Xiaode!"
The pope roared angrily and crossed his arms over his chest.
The boundless majestic aura emanated from his body, revealing an extremely ancient and desolate power.
The entire void began to turn crimson. ——Wanxiang Senluo!
