On the other end of the phone, the Pope listened to the conversation between the two clearly, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He knew that the Death Squad had a legendary hacker, the Emperor, and many past actions of the Temple of Light had been intercepted in advance by him.
Ye Cangtian was once the captain of the Death Squad, and perhaps those instruments could not block Ye Cangtian's mobile phone signal.
Therefore, he quickly stopped Arthur and ordered an investigation into the matter.
In a short while, a guard came before the Pope and said, "Your Holiness, the incident on the pedestrian street of Light City has already caused a huge stir online..."
As he spoke, the guard held a computer and played the online video for the Pope.
"What!"
With a single word, the Pope's eyes widened, and then he began to ponder.
Everyone watching the video had their own judgment of right and wrong.
If he forcibly attacked Ye Cangtian, the Temple of Light would be spurned by the world.
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!
No matter how powerful a force is, if it lacks popular support, it is destined to perish.
Thinking of this, the Pope had no choice but to pick up the phone again and grit his teeth, saying, "Arthur, let's forget about it this time. On behalf of this Emperor, thank Ye Cangtian for eliminating the scum within the Temple of Light!"
As he said these words, the Pope almost wanted to grind his teeth to powder!
Andrew and the other four had planned for so long, and even paid with their lives, just to create a reason for him to kill Ye Cangtian.
However, in the end, they were still careless and did not expect that the other party was supported by the hacker Emperor!
As a result, Andrew and the other four died in vain, and he even had to thank Ye Cangtian. This was enough to make him furious and almost spit blood.
"Uh..."
On this side of the phone, Arthur's large hand trembled.
The Pope had seen the video, so it went without saying that the video had been successfully forwarded, which meant that everyone could see this video.
Even if he still wanted to kill Ye Cangtian, he could not disregard the Pope's order and the reputation of the Temple of Light.
"Tsk tsk tsk, careless!"
"Arthur, you heard the Pope's order. Do you still intend to make a move on me?"
On the opposite side, seeing Arthur gritting his teeth in anger, Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and then provocatively said,
"You..."
With a single sentence, he made Arthur tremble all over with anger.
After a moment, he waved his hand, signaling the red-robed bishops to retreat.
"Ye Cangtian, by the order of His Holiness the Pope, I, on behalf of His Holiness, thank you for personally slaying the four scums of the Temple of Light! And for maintaining order in Light City on behalf of the Temple of Light!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"At the same time, the Temple of Light guarantees that it will strengthen its management of public security in the future, ensuring that incidents like today will not happen again, and creating a warm home for the people..."
Arthur gritted his teeth and bowed to Ye Cangtian, then looked at the surrounding people who had been invited and said solemnly.
There was no other way!
Arthur was worried that the other party was still recording videos, so he had no choice but to apologize through gritted teeth, trying to salvage the image of the Temple of Light.
"Haha, it's fine as long as the misunderstanding is resolved."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and continued to laugh, "But I am truly impressed by you! You are truly capable of both yielding and advancing!"
Hmph!
Arthur snorted coldly and said, "Ye Cangtian, I have long heard of your prestige. You are considered a legendary figure on the international stage. I wonder if I have the honor to spar with you?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, it will just be a friendly match!" Arthur quickly added, worried that Ye Cangtian would not agree.
After what happened today, he had lost all face.
If he couldn't vent his anger, he would suffocate with frustration sooner or later.
So Arthur came up with this idea, to spar with Ye Cangtian.
Although he said it would be a friendly match, but fists and feet have no eyes, if they really fought and he accidentally killed Ye Cangtian, it would only be considered an accident.
At most, he would apologize to China afterward, but by then Ye Cangtian would already be dead, and the other party could only accept the outcome.
Heh heh.
Hearing Arthur's suggestion, Ye Cangtian immediately smiled.
Arthur was the biggest obstacle to his actions, and he was worrying about not having a chance to eliminate him, but the other party had delivered himself to his door, truly knowing how to behave!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian glanced over and said, "Arthur, it's no problem to agree to spar with you, but I'm in a difficult position. If I accidentally injure you, the Temple of Light won't hold me accountable, will it?"
"Of course not!"
Arthur quickly waved his hand and continued, "Aren't you recording? I promise that our spar is just a personal act, and any consequences must be borne by ourselves. Neither party's behind-the-scenes forces are allowed to seek revenge..."
As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on Arthur's face.
He wasn't saying this to the Temple of Light, but to the Chinese forces.
With this video as evidence, even if he accidentally killed Ye Cangtian later, the Chinese forces would have to swallow their bitter fruit in silence.
They could only blame Ye Cangtian for being overconfident and agreeing to spar with him...
"Alright, then let the whole internet be a witness!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian shrugged and then slowly walked towards the other party.
The surrounding people followed Ye Cangtian's steps and slowly retreated, making enough space for the two of them.
Clang!
The cross longsword was drawn, carrying a thick smell of blood, and was swung continuously. The tip of the sword would transform into a red sword flower, making it difficult to judge.
"A meager trick."
Seeing the other party attack, Ye Cangtian showed a look of disdain, and casually swung his large hand.
With each swing, sparks would bloom in the air, and the Death Scythe accurately blocked the attacking longsword.
In the eyes of others, Arthur's strength was as high as the sixth heaven, and his speed was extremely fast, making him difficult to defend against.
But in Ye Cangtian's eyes, Arthur's seemingly swift sword flowers were like slow motion in front of him.
To put it bluntly, if Ye Cangtian were willing, he could have killed the other party in an instant.
But after all, they were dueling in a sparring match, and so many people were watching online.
He did not want to reveal too much of his strength, and at the same time, he had to leave some face for the Temple of Light.
On the other side, with every attack blocked by Ye Cangtian, Arthur became more anxious.
He could not accept this outcome.
Damn it, why!
He came from the inner sanctuary of the Temple of Light, and he had experienced countless life-and-death trials in the ruins of the Temple of Light. His strength had long surpassed his corresponding cultivation.
Why couldn't he do anything to Ye Cangtian!
Arthur roared inwardly, and finally, he could not bear it any longer. He forcibly repelled Ye Cangtian.
In the next instant, he swung his longsword in front of him, forming a super large sword flower at his chest.
As the sword flower bloomed, Arthur's entire body's spiritual energy was continuously injected into it.
In a short while, a faint halo appeared around the sword flower.
"Ye Cangtian, I will make you taste the consequences of your arrogance!"
The sword flower was finally completed, and Arthur looked fiercely at Ye Cangtian and roared.
As the voice fell, a blood-red longsword stabbed out from the blood flower, piercing towards Ye Cangtian.
This was his strongest attack, the Blood Flower Stab.
Since he learned this move, no opponent had been able to block it, and it had helped him kill countless strong individuals.
The only drawback of this move was that it was relatively slow to execute and required a certain amount of time.
But Ye Cangtian, of all people, did not attack to interrupt him. In his opinion, this was not only arrogant but also suicidal!
"Heh heh, bring it on."
Ye Cangtian said no more, the Death Scythe in his hand gradually lit up, and then with a move called "Sighing of the Lovesick," he slashed down.
Boom!
In an instant, the spiritual energy of both sides clashed, exploding with a bang, and the resulting airflow swept across everything around.
The next moment, a figure flew backward, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out blood from his mouth.
This person was none other than Arthur.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian slowly walked out of the violent airflow, glanced at Arthur, and said faintly, "You've already done very well, but the gap between us is still quite large. Work hard when you get back!"
As he spoke, he retracted the Death Scythe and left the pedestrian street with Lan Yue and Gui Wu.
"Why..."
Looking at Ye Cangtian's retreating back, Arthur clenched his fists tightly. He was unwilling to accept this outcome, and even more so, he did not understand why Ye Cangtian was so powerful.
