Chapter 432: The Holy Light Angel

Chapter 432: The Holy Light Angel

In District 3, within the Holy Church Alliance's territory, as Li Wu unleashed his sword, a path of darkness emerged amidst the enveloping holy light.

In a world of pure radiance, any deviation in color stood out starkly.

Especially when the contrast was at its peak, like Li Wu's sword, infused with the extreme essence of death and despair, crafted from the Second Messenger's Abyss of Despair.

As Li Wu's sword extended, the entire holy light seemed to boil.

The Holy Light Domain, as if imbued with its own life, reacted intensely, vehemently repelling Li Wu's dark sword aura.

However, the Holy Light's reaction had no effect on the black sword aura; it remained unaffected.

At that moment, Cain, the target of this dark sword energy, was directly plunged into the depths of despair.

The expression on his face, which had once held a sense of control and even a hint of scorn and mockery, froze.

In that instant, he realized that his prediction had come true.

In just two days, Li Wu's strength had indeed reached the Epic 2-Star rank. The power unleashed by his sword was no less formidable than that of Fei Yinghao.

Cain knew he was facing death under this strike.

Endless despair and fear engulfed Cain, who began to struggle frantically, but his efforts were futile.

Li Wu's sword thrust Cain into the Abyss of Despair, a realm he had once experienced.

Cain's deepest and most desperate fears were dredged up, trapping him in a hellish realm where days felt like years and an endless icy abyss awaited.

After an unknown duration, as Cain was about to perish in the Abyss of Despair, drowning in the frigid depths, he was suddenly pulled out.

"I'm alive... I'm still alive!" Cain exclaimed, jolting awake, first with bewilderment and then with boundless joy, even breaking into loud laughter.

As he laughed, Cain suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

At that moment, he noticed something before him had been slashed, and something in his mind seemed to have been erased.

He felt a sense of loss but couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"What is it? What have I lost? Why does my head hurt when I try to remember?

It hurts so much!

Never mind, if I can't remember, it's probably not something important!"

Someone nearby agreed with Cain.

"Yes, it's not something important. It's just your two summoned beasts!"

"Oh, it's just the two summoned beasts," Cain responded, his voice filled with bewilderment.

As Cain spoke, overwhelming pain engulfed him, causing him to spew mouthfuls of blood. The man who had just been pulled back from the brink of despair fell into unconsciousness.

Witnessing Cain's sudden loss of consciousness after regaining awareness, Li Wu slowly lowered the longsword in his hand, his emotions becoming nuanced and sensitive: "Forget it, I won't kill him. After all, I'm not some demon.

Their sacrifice to save him shouldn't be in vain!"

However, Li Wu's sentiment made the members of the Holy Church Alliance shiver.

They were well aware that Li Wu wasn't being sentimental or showing mercy.

He was about to deliver a fatal blow.

As a Summoner, Cain's two core summoned beasts, cultivated over decades, had been annihilated. This loss could ruin Cain's life.

For someone who once held a superior position, there was nothing more devastating than losing everything and watching their own demise inch by inch.

This couldn't help but chill their bones.

It also evoked sympathy for Cain's plight.

But they seemed to forget the situation at hand. As they sympathized with Cain, Li Wu's gaze had already fallen upon them.

Under Li Wu's stare, their brows furrowed in resistance.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with what I've done?

Do you think I should have killed him instead?

Come on, aren't you his companions? Why are you all so cruel?

It seems I need to stand up for this Mr. Cain!"

As Li Wu spoke, the big shots of the Holy Church Alliance felt a chill.

At that moment, not a single person hesitated.

After witnessing Li Wu's initial strike and his treatment of Cain, they understood that Li Wu was beyond reason.

He was now a madman, and nothing could change his mind.

"Everyone, attack together! Summon the Holy Angels!"

"Contact Elder Fei and have him return immediately!"

The members of the Holy Church Alliance took the lead, concentrating their Holy Light Domain.

Ten Epic-level experts and over twenty summoned beasts collaborated to form a massive Holy Light Domain above Li Wu's head.

The holy light, imbued with divine will, was so powerful that it seemed to have the ability to convert people on its own.

Even as the holy light enveloped him, Lu Wu couldn't help but marvel at the sight of the massive Holy Light Cross that had locked onto him.

"No wonder the Holy Church Alliance is so formidable. This Holy Light skill is truly terrifying!"

But Lu Wu's admiration quickly turned to disdain as he continued, "You people are truly despicable. With such a powerful skill at your disposal, you didn't use it when Kane was being hacked at. Now that he's been dealt a heavy blow, you decide to use it. That's just taking advantage of his honesty!"

The leaders of the Holy Church Alliance turned pale at his words.

"How shameless can one be?" they thought.

They had tried to take advantage of Kane, but Lu Wu's swift and fierce attack with his sword had caught them off guard, leaving them no time to react.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wu had turned the tables on them.

However, they didn't bother explaining themselves to Lu Wu. No amount of words could change the fact that it would be more efficient to simply eliminate Lu Wu.

"Fall!"

Under the full power of the Holy Sword Alliance leaders, the gigantic Holy Light Cross descended with a mighty crash.

As Lu Wu raised his longsword, it was enveloped by the endless holy light.

In the next moment, even purer holy light erupted, and faintly, it seemed as if angels were singing. At the heart of the holy light, a vision of Heaven's Gate appeared.

The leaders of the Holy Sword Alliance couldn't help but smile at this sight.

This was the perfect manifestation of the Holy Light Cross.

Previously, they had never been able to unleash such a perfect Holy Light Cross.

This time, Lu Wu's pressure had united their spiritual will, allowing them to strike with such perfection.

All the leaders were certain that under the perfect strike of the Holy Light Cross, Lu Wu would lose at least half his life.

After all, holy light had an extremely powerful damage bonus against Lu Wu, who was deeply corrupted by evil.

However, just as they were rejoicing, a light laughter sounded.

"You people, it's obvious you haven't watched any dramas or read any manga. Don't you know about the setting of Yan Wushang in those stories?"

"Well, let me enlighten you. Light is also a type of smoke!"

Lu Wu was not dead!

The laughter was full of life and energy.

The leaders of the Holy Sword Alliance paled, increasing their energy output to make the holy light even more radiant.

They hoped to purify Lu Wu, this evil being, with this holy light.

But Lu Wu, bathed in the holy light, remained unharmed and even felt a sense of comfort.

Soaking in the holy light, Lu Wu smiled and spoke, "Do you know why I can blend in with you and dare to come here so boldly? It's simple. I also possess the power of holy light!"

As Lu Wu spoke, the leaders of the Holy Sword Alliance stared at him in disbelief, unable to see his figure through the dense holy light. But as Lu Wu raised the Celestial Cloud Sword in his hand, his body erupted with a pure and holy aura, just like the holy light around him.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

The Holy Light Cross, which the Holy Sword Alliance had used to try and eliminate Lu Wu, began to be absorbed by him.

"He... he's absorbing the holy light?"

"How is this possible?!"

"His sword was so evil just now, how can he possibly merge with the holy light?"

They were in shock, unable to comprehend what was happening.

The leaders of the Holy Sword Alliance, sensing something amiss, were on the verge of collapse. Instinctively, they stopped supplying energy, and without their support, the Holy Light Cross lost its power and was quickly absorbed by Lu Wu, revealing his figure completely.

At this moment, Lu Wu stood there, holding the Celestial Cloud Sword, his entire body radiating holy light, and behind him, nine pairs of holy light wings fluttered gracefully.

In this form, Lu Wu appeared more like a member of the Holy Light Alliance than any other being present.

Some of the leaders of the Holy Light Alliance couldn't help but stare at him, their eyes filled with wonder, almost as if they wanted to kneel before Lu Wu.

Where was the demon?

This was the Son of God!

But in the next moment, Lu Wu brought them back to reality.

Bathed in holy light and fluttering his wings, Lu Wu raised his hand and struck out with his sword.

"No!"

The leaders of the Holy Light Alliance reacted swiftly, quickly raising their defenses to block the attack.

Although Lu Wu's sword was filled with holy light, they were not Lu Wu. If they were struck by his sword, they would surely perish.

So, they joined forces to erect a holy light shield, blocking Lu Wu's sword.

At this moment, the leaders of the Holy Church Alliance were filled with grief and anger. They finally understood the source of Lu Wu's audacity to challenge the entire alliance.

Lu Wu's attacks, empowered by Holy Light, were not only fearless but also capable of absorbing their attacks. The leaders had to exert all their strength to defend against his assaults.

Damn, this fight was so unfair, it was like using their own power against them!

But what could the Holy Church Alliance do?

They could only pin their hopes on the Holy Light Angel they were summoning and Fei Yinghao's timely reinforcement.

"Hold on, hold on! I'm summoning the Holy Light Angel, and it will be here soon!"

"I've also sent word to Fei Yinghao, and he'll be back soon!"

"As long as we can hold on, we can definitely eliminate this demon!"

"Demon? Do I, the Holy Light Angel, seem like a demon to you?"

The corners of Lu Wu's mouth curled slightly, and he slashed with his long sword.

Each slash required the leaders to exert all their strength to defend.

The Holy Light sword aura struck the Holy Light shield repeatedly, causing their faces to flush, veins popping, and they looked like they were about to vomit blood.

They were on the verge of collapse. After all, Lu Wu was not only an Epic Rank 2 existence but had also absorbed the energy they had just unleashed. His power was now off the charts.

They could withstand these attacks because they had some foundation and were giving it their all.

But even with their reserves, they couldn't hold on for much longer.

A few more strikes from Lu Wu, and they would crumble.

Fortunately, they wouldn't have to hold on for much longer.

Their trump card was almost ready.

Soon, a relieved voice sounded, "Done! The Holy Light Angel has been summoned!"

With this voice, the entire Holy Church Alliance base sprang into action, and decades of energy converged.

The summoning of the Holy Light Angel was one of the alliance's trump cards, which, in simple terms, involved gathering the energy of the Holy Church Alliance to summon a Holy Light Angel from the Paradise Sanctuary to aid them in battle.

According to their theory, the summoned Holy Light Angel would be at least Epic Rank 2 in strength.

An Epic Rank 2 Holy Light Angel was generally stronger than an Epic Rank 2 summoner, and even if it couldn't defeat Lu Wu, it could at least hold him off for a while.

As long as Lu Wu was held off for a while, Elder Mountain would soon receive the news.

At that point, Lu Wu would have only two choices: flee or die! And if the Holy Church Alliance was lucky enough to summon an Epic Rank 3 Holy Light Angel, Lu Wu's fate would be truly tragic.

In the current alliance, Epic Rank 3 was the absolute limit.

Such an existence could crush Lu Wu as easily as squashing an ant.

In any case, as long as the Holy Light Angel was summoned, no matter its rank, the Holy Church Alliance would be safe.

Of course, if possible, they naturally hoped for a more powerful Holy Light Angel.

The energy of the Holy Church Alliance quickly converged, and soon, it reached a critical point. A chorus of angelic hymns filled the air, and a gateway to heaven slowly appeared, gradually opening.

At this moment, all eyes from the Holy Church Alliance were fixed on the gateway, eagerly anticipating the angel within.

Amidst their expectant gazes, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with eighteen white wings, long silver-white hair, and a golden halo emerged.

The sight of this angelic girl overwhelmed the Holy Church Alliance with immense joy.

"Epic Rank 2 Peak, nearly Epic Rank 3! He's doomed, Lu Wu is doomed!"

In their elation, the angelic girl rushed towards Lu Wu.

She moved swiftly, and Lu Wu didn't even have time to react before she was upon him.

"Kill him, kill him quickly!"

In the blink of an eye, the angelic girl stood before Lu Wu.

At this moment, the Holy Church Alliance erupted in cheers, unable to contain their excitement.

Finally, finally, the demon who had slain Kane the Archbishop's two summon beasts and absorbed the power of the Holy Light Cross was about to meet his end.

How could the leaders of the Holy Church Alliance not be thrilled? How could they not be excited?

However, their excitement seemed a bit premature.

What happened next shattered their worldview. The angelic girl hugged Lu Wu.

"Are you my Master?"
