Fang Senyan was now breathing heavily, his heavy breaths sounding like a worker who had toiled all day.

Semi-transparent rings of light shackles appeared on his neck, legs, and arms. The first impression these shackles gave was that they were crude, violent, and simple, with a strong medieval European style. At the other end of the shackles were thick chains, all taut. At the other end of the chains were huge, holy light-filled sacred objects, obscured by the intense holy light.

As the holy light gradually dissipated, the five huge sacred objects connected to him could be seen. They were a huge Bible, the True Cross, the Ark of the Covenant, the Crown of Thorns, and the Lance of Longinus. All five huge sacred objects were flying forcefully in different directions. If Fang Senyan did not have enough power to resist, he would inevitably be torn apart by the five forces from different directions on the sacred objects!

However, Fang Senyan’s sin of “Pride” among the Seven Deadly Sins was light, so the punishment that followed was not severe. Therefore, not only was he not torn apart, but he was also breathing heavily, using his own strength to fight against the pulling force of the five great sacred objects, struggling to climb towards the eleventh floor.

“Cracks,” “booms,” and other loud noises immediately echoed in the stairwell. The tempered glass in the staircase of the Morgan Building was broken, pulled, and scattered by the massive five sacred objects. The scattered glass reflected the bright light of the street lamps below, falling in the high altitude like the white light on the teeth of a beast, filled with a bloodthirsty and cruel impression!

From the outside, it looked like a terrifying beast was laboriously breaking through the obstacles of the glass exterior wall, struggling to climb upwards!

Because the brute force used was too great, the veins on Fang Senyan's neck and forehead bulged, and sweat flowed like water. Every step he took upwards, he would even crush half of the stairs under his feet!

"This level of… power, wants to… stop… me?" A mocking smile appeared on Fang Senyan's face. The transparent shackles left deep welts on Fang Senyan's body, but they could not stop Fang Senyan's momentum to continue climbing upwards!

When Fang Senyan climbed to the ninth floor, the transparent shackles on his body disintegrated in an instant and disappeared with a bang! The five sacred objects collided in the air with mournful cries, turning into ashes. Fang Senyan did not even look at the various visions. The moment he was freed from the shackles, he climbed up another half a floor. Even when he was branded with the pain of the sinner's mark, he still gritted his teeth and endured the pain, striding upwards.

Tenth floor!!

But at this moment, the Cardinal reappeared in front of Fang Senyan! He appeared so abruptly, but if you looked closely, you could still recognize that this guy was coming at high speed from a distance. The gap between the sudden stop and sudden start was extremely short. Ordinary people would just feel dizzy or stunned, as if time was frozen in an instant. The Cardinal came calmly in this frozen moment, and then abruptly unsealed time.

The air was frozen in an instant. Fang Senyan was about to step onto the first step of the tenth floor, but he was frozen in the air.

The Cardinal did not attack, but closed his eyes, seemingly to carefully enjoy the pleasure of a cat playing with a mouse, and then looked at Fang Senyan. In that instant, Fang Senyan felt like strong sunlight was piercing into the depths of his soul, making him deeply feel the warmth first, followed by the naked burning pain!

"You sinner, repent! Then repay your sins with your flesh and blood!"

As he spoke, the four sinner's marks left on Fang Senyan's body shone with dazzling light! Fang Senyan once again felt that indescribable stinging pain spreading from his limbs.

That feeling, that feeling was indescribable. It was as if he could clearly feel that there were four bombs containing terrifying power inside his body, fiercely absorbing his life essence and energy, and still rapidly expanding, ready to explode like inflated balloons with a "bang" at any time!

At this moment, Fang Senyan immediately used the Potion of Honor to restore his health to its peak!

If you carefully distinguish, you can feel that these four terrifying forces in Fang Senyan's body are still different. Among them, the sinner's mark left by the sin of Gluttony absorbs energy the fastest, while the sinner's mark of the last sin of Pride absorbs energy the slowest.

What's even more terrifying is that after the sinner's mark appeared on the skin, it was actually entangled with blood vessels and tumors. Like healed burn scars, the surface bulged with countless lumps and suckers. The blue blood vessels also protruded, looking not only ferocious, but also revealing a cruel aura.

"Ahhhhh!" Fang Senyan screamed, not knowing whether it was because of pain or anger! At this moment, the Gluttony mark on his body took the lead in absorbing enough energy and made a muffled explosion, suddenly blasting a large area of ​​miserable blood on Fang Senyan's thigh!

And most of Fang Senyan's right leg was actually blown off alive, and then flew out in circles, even smashing through the tempered glass next to it with a crash, falling from the high altitude of the tenth floor, smearing a tragic bloodstain in the night sky!

Fang Senyan's face suddenly turned pale! His teeth were gnashing, and the Wrath mark on his left leg also began to expand rapidly, forming a huge tumor on the surface of his body, and then bursting into a large piece of bloody rain! The left leg was also blown off again! Although the leg bones were still connected by vaguely broken tendons, it was obvious that it was completely useless!

"You… you!" Fang Senyan, who had been hit hard twice in a row, suddenly turned over. His face was pale, and cold sweat was flowing down non-stop. He wanted to point at the Cardinal, but the Greed mark on his right arm began to expand, frantically absorbing flesh and blood, causing Fang Senyan's right arm to become skinny in an instant.

A very clear pleasure appeared in the Cardinal's indifferent eyes, as if seeing the intense pain and torture of others was his only enjoyment! In an instant, Fang Senyan pressed his right hand under his body, seeming to want to use his weight to suppress his arm and prevent the power of the mark from erupting!

But the cruel reality proved that it was just a naive fantasy. In the loud noise of "bang," Fang Senyan seemed to have crushed a watermelon under him, and a large amount of red and black bloody mess flowed out from under his body. His whole body was also blown three or four meters by the huge thrust generated by the explosion of the Greed mark, and his head heavily hit the steps next to him, flowing out a lot of blood.

It can be seen that Fang Senyan's right hand was not broken! But most of the muscles had disappeared, like a mummified corpse with skin and bones, hideous and strange. The middle part of the right hand was even more bloody, revealing the bones, and even the bones were purple-black, with deep and terrifying cracks on them! That fragile feeling, as if it would break with a gentle fold.

Fang Senyan was trembling all over at this time, unable to speak. His hair was all wet, not knowing whether it was sweat or blood! And the Pride mark on his left hand still existed, and it also began to expand rapidly. It could be seen that the situation was that all four limbs were useless.

In this case, the Cardinal still had to urge the power of the Pride mark. It can be seen that although he was arrogant, he was not conceited at all. He was very cautious and did not give Fang Senyan any chance to counterattack. He really did his best even when a lion fights a rabbit!

Fang Senyan used his last bit of strength to press his left hand under his body again. The sound of "crackling" explosions came again, and Fang Senyan was blown away by two or three meters again, and blood and flesh spurted out. His left hand looked even more strange at this time. From the fingers of the left hand to the forearm, it looked intact, but from the elbow to the shoulder, only the bones remained! Such a left hand was obviously completely useless!

"You heretic who spreads the plague, are you unable to cope with only four sins? I thought you could hold on until the advent of the ultimate sin, but it turns out you are nothing more than that!"

The Cardinal's majestic voice sounded again.

Fang Senyan looked up to the sky, seemingly completely desperate, only the slight wriggling of his chest showed that he was still alive.

A mocking look appeared in the Cardinal's pupils:

"Strictly speaking, you, this dirty heretic, don't seem stupid either. You are still trying to use the power of my sacred mark to effectively escape at this time! Your position just now was below the stairs from the tenth floor to the eleventh floor. Using the explosive force generated by the Greed and Pride mark explosions to pad your body, you can actually move to the middle and upper part of the tenth floor staircase!"

"Do you want to get to the eleventh floor so much? Your little tricks are not worth mentioning in the eyes of God! Hahaha, you are only four steps away from the eleventh floor now!! But, your fate is destined to not be able to cross these four steps! It's not a good feeling to watch the destination but not be able to reach it, is it?"

Fang Senyan said weakly:

"You fool who claims to be God! Then dare you let me reach the eleventh floor?"

The Cardinal's eyes looked like he was looking at an idiot:

"Do you think I would agree to your request? God's grace will only be given to believers. The only reward for heretics is to fall into the abyss of despair! Hahaha, repent in the abyss of pain and destruction, and repent in the countless centuries of soul torture that follow. You will suffer more suffering for your little cleverness!"

In the Cardinal's voice, the stairs under Fang Senyan's body actually began to show a lot of cracks, and a lot of sand and gravel fell rustlingly, about to drop Fang Senyan from the success that was close at hand to the endless abyss of failure!
