"..."
Seeing two identical Pan Long Swords, Ye Cangtian was stunned, for they were not formed by spiritual energy but were real long swords.
"Heh, this is the greatest secret of the Pan Long Sword."
"You are quite remarkable to witness this secret; you can be ranked among the specimens in this third level hall!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's astonished expression, the Pope's face broke into a triumphant smile.
As he spoke, he brandished the two Pan Long Swords in his hands, and waves of spiritual energy surged out from his body.
In an instant, two flood dragons coiled around the Pope, emitting roars that sounded like dragon cries.
Hiss...
With the power of the twin dragons, even Ye Cangtian's spiritual consciousness found it difficult to resist. In that moment, he felt as if the world was spinning.
In the next moment, Ye Cangtian let out a furious roar, enduring the soul attack and launching Soul Piercer.
Although the opponent's soul attack seemed powerful, Ye Cangtian knew that it was not the Pope's ability but the artifact spirit of the Pan Long Swords.
Therefore, the Pope's soul power might not be superior to his.
In just an instant, the Pope let out a sudden scream, his body also began to sway, and the power of the flood dragon's roar also diminished significantly.
However, the Pope was, after all, a Heavenly-level expert, and his soul power was not weak. Enduring the severe pain, he quickly regained control of his body.
But at this moment, two illusory great seals appeared in the Pope's vision.
In an instant, the great seals enveloped his head, and in a moment, he felt a surge of weakness.
Not only him, but the two flood dragons coiling around him also had their roars laced with fear.
"You... what is this!"
The Pope looked at Ye Cangtian with a hint of fear and questioned him.
Ye Cangtian snorted, and as he swung the Death Scythe again, he spoke, "Hasn't the Hall of Light always wanted to enter the Hidden Group to search for treasures? Now the treasure is right in front of you, why don't you recognize it?"
Since he had already used the Dark Seal and the Dragon Taming Seal, Ye Cangtian had no intention of hiding them.
After all, this was the Hall of Light, and even if he killed the Pope, it would be difficult to keep the secret of the two great seals.
But it didn't matter. After this battle, he was bound to step into the Heavenly level. With the two great seals in hand, he would fear no one coming to seize them.
"What? You're saying these two great seals are related to the Light Seal?"
The Pope looked at the illusory figures of the two great seals in disbelief. Seeing the rays of light emanating from them, he suddenly understood something.
It must be. Legend had it that the Light Seal could also emit such light.
No wonder, no wonder the Chinese forces rose up; they actually obtained two such treasures.
Then, along with obtaining the treasures, China must have acquired quite a few elixirs, which perfectly matched his previous guesses.
As he thought this, greed arose in the Pope's heart. If he could kill Ye Cangtian, these two great seals would be his.
Then, not only would he have made an immense contribution to the Hall of Light, but his personal combat power would also increase rapidly with the help of the two great seals.
In that case, entering the inner hall and controlling it would no longer be a vague fantasy...
On the other side.
Ye Cangtian was unaware of the Pope's thoughts. He merely nodded and said, "That's right, these are the Dark Seal and the Dragon Taming Seal, but for you, knowing this is not a good thing!"
From the moment Ye Cangtian revealed the two seals, he had decided that he and the Pope were irreconcilable enemies.
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, the Pope let out a cold snort and said, "Ye Cangtian, if you had used these two great seals from the beginning, perhaps this seat would have feared you a little.
But now you are already severely injured, and it is yet to be determined who will win!"
It was clear that the Pope was preparing to take a gamble. In his opinion, although he was being suppressed by the two great seals, it was not without a chance to fight.
Moreover, this was the Hall of Light. As long as he held on long enough, someone would surely come to support him.
At that time, with Ye Cangtian's heavily injured body, it would be impossible for him to escape from here!
"Is that so?"
"Then there's no need for further talk, let's settle this with our fists!"
As Ye Cangtian spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.
Although the Pope was suppressed and his strength had greatly diminished, the two flood dragons coiling around him still brought him unparalleled pressure.
With just the move "Suan Duan Chang," it was probably difficult to win. Now, the only chance was to try the third move of the Thirteen Forms of the Death Scythe!
Feeling the aura on the Death Scythe continuously rising, and the dark golden light becoming more dazzling, the Pope finally realized the danger and let out a roar.
"Kill!"
Immediately, the two flood dragons coiling around him roared and rushed out.
Blind Dragon!
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian uttered two words.
In an instant, a dragon's roar echoed through the heavens and the earth, and the Death Scythe swept out horizontally.
It could be seen that the tip of the Death Scythe faintly shimmered with a dragon's head. The dragon's head had its eyes closed, lifelike, roaring domineeringly at the world.
Boom!
In the next moment, the moves of both sides collided head-on again. Instantly, the world changed color, and those two flood dragons let out a miserable cry and vanished into the air.
Crack! Crack!
As the flood dragons dissipated, the Pan Long Swords in the Pope's hands completely shattered, and the powerful blade energy heavily struck his shoulder.
Puff!
With one arm severed, the Pope was sent flying backward, directly crashing into the specimen hall.
"Ye Cangtian! This seat is not convinced! If not for the two great seals, you would never have been this seat's match!"
"You wait for me, this debt will surely be repaid by this seat's own hands!"
The Pope's resentful voice echoed from within the specimen hall.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian looked at the blood mist scattering in the air and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
With his severely injured body, he had forcibly unleashed the Blind Dragon, causing considerable damage to his body.
However, he could not bother with anything else. With his strong will, he endured the pain and re-entered the specimen hall.
There were two reasons.
The Pope was undoubtedly heavily injured now, and he did not want to miss the great opportunity to kill the Pope.
The other reason was that since the Pope had said so, there must be a secret passage in the specimen hall.
He was not worried about anything else, except that the Pope might take away Elder Xu's head.
If that were the case, his actions tonight would have been completely in vain.
Hoo!
The next moment, when Ye Cangtian rushed into the third level of the specimen hall, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Pope, in order to escape, had not taken Elder Xu's head.
Although he had not succeeded in killing the Pope, he had achieved his goal by recovering Elder Xu's head.
Thinking this, he quickly took a few Great Return Pills and Nine Revolutions Golden Pills to temporarily suppress his injuries.
Then, he began his next round of actions. Of course, he would not leave just like that; he had to leave some gifts for the Hall of Light.
...
In Guangming City.
At this moment, countless active cardinals were complaining in every corner of Guangming City.
They had arrived at the scene of the riot, but there was no sign of any riot here!
Everyone was engaged in normal activities, as if nothing had happened.
Instead, their arrival made the surrounding crowd appear somewhat uneasy.
After all, this was a large-scale operation, with so many cardinals arriving with imposing momentum. Such a scene must have meant that something big had happened.
Some people naturally did not want to be involved and began to flee in panic.
"Damn it! What's going on! Did the headquarters get it wrong?"
"What a load of crap riot! Haven't seen a single hair of it, what is the intelligence department eating!"
"Damn it, isn't this just playing with me..."
Muttering curses echoed through the streets and alleys of the Hall of Light. The intelligence department of the Hall of Light naturally took the blame.
Some cardinals were too angry to bear it and prepared to directly criticize the intelligence department.
But when they dialed the phone, they found that they could not contact the intelligence department at all.
