Crack!
Indeed, after more than ten minutes of engagement, Po Xiao, wielding the Golden Great Ring Saber, forcefully broke through the Holy Light Benediction and sent Qiao flying.
Puff!
Qiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with despair.
With the Holy Light Benediction broken, he had also entered a weakened state. Coupled with his existing injuries, he was left with no power to fight back.
Tap, tap, tap…
Ye Cangtian walked step by step towards Qiao, stopping in front of him. Qiao instinctively closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.
"Qiao, your Holy Light Benediction is impressive. If you were to hand it over to me, I could give you a quick death!"
Unexpectedly, death did not come immediately. Instead, he heard Po Xiao's voice.
Qiao could not help but open his eyes and said fiercely, "Don't daydream. I will never hand over the Holy Light Benediction to you…"
"Don't be so quick to refuse me! Let me finish what I have to say."
Ye Cangtian interrupted Qiao and continued, "If you don't give it to me, I will embed my dagger into your body inch by inch, letting you understand what pain is before you die!"
"…"
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Qiao's forehead. At this point, he was prepared to die, but he was not prepared to be tortured!
His heart grew tense.
The next moment, he glanced at Ye Cangtian and gritted his teeth, "Don't waste your effort. The Bright Hall does not permit such divine techniques as the Holy Light Benediction to be taken out. If you don't believe me, ask Hasar!"
Qiao no longer pretended to be tough and could only speak the truth.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes swept towards Hasar, casting a questioning glance.
Sensing Po Xiao's gaze, Hasar nodded and said, "He's telling the truth. The Holy Light Benediction is a divine technique of the Bright Hall. To prevent leaks, no one is allowed to take it out of the Bright Hall."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Qiao and asked, "Can you write down the cultivation method from memory?"
"Are you kidding me!"
"The Holy Light Benediction is an ancient secret scripture. Don't you know how ancient secret scriptures are passed down?"
Qiao said scornfully.
Uh…
Ye Cangtian was instantly stunned. He had thought that since the Holy Light Benediction had been passed down to the present day, the Bright Hall had completely grasped its mysteries, hence its continuous inheritance.
Now, hearing Qiao say this, he knew he had misunderstood.
The Holy Light Benediction was an ancient secret scripture, passed down through mysterious means, just like other inherited secret scriptures – a way that could only be understood, not explained.
It was just that the Holy Light Benediction had been passed down many more times than other inherited cultivation techniques.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly in his heart: Alas, Nancy, you're out of luck. I wanted to get you a decent cultivation technique, but it seems impossible… m..oΓg
Muttering to himself, Ye Cangtian's gaze fell upon Hasar, and he said, "Do I need to teach you what to do?"
As the words fell.
Qiao's gaze immediately shifted to Hasar on the side. He saw that Hasar had already taken out his long sword and was slowly walking over.
What's going on?
A strange light flashed in Qiao's eyes. He had initially thought that Hasar's betrayal was merely to exchange for eternal imprisonment and a chance to survive.
But the situation was clearly not right now. Hasar was actually obeying Po Xiao's command and walking towards him with a sword.
This was clearly a complete act of treason!
Thinking this, he tried to stand up and fight Hasar desperately. For such a traitor, he had zero tolerance.
However, his injuries, coupled with the side effects of the Holy Light Benediction, left him with no strength at all, making it impossible for him to get up.
"Hasar, we've been through life and death together for years, do you really intend to kill me!"
"Do you really think that if you kill me, Po Xiao will let you go?"
Helpless, Qiao could only roar loudly, hoping to awaken Hasar.
Puff!
The response Qiao received was the cold long sword, which pierced directly into Qiao's heart.
Hasar then glanced at Qiao and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't let go of everything I have now. All I can do is reduce your pain a little. I hope you don't blame me!"
As he spoke, Hasar suddenly drew his long sword, and a gush of blood spurted out. Qiao immediately withered.
"Hasar, Po Xiao, my fate today is your tomorrow. One day, the soldiers of the Bright Hall will avenge me…"
Feeling his life force rapidly draining, Qiao looked resentfully at Hasar and Po Xiao, holding onto his last breath, and said to them with hatred.
Watching Qiao breathe his last, Hasar bowed deeply, then turned to look at Po Xiao.
His expression immediately changed!
Because at some unknown time.
Po Xiao had already produced a mobile phone in his hand. It was clear that he had recorded the entire process.
"Po Xiao, what do you mean by this!" Hasar asked gloomily.
"Heh heh, nothing much. Just leaving some evidence. Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, this video will never see the light of day!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly. He naturally had to guard against Hasar.
If Hasar did not cooperate, he had no way to discipline him.
"You…"
With that sentence, Hasar was instantly speechless. He now understood that escaping Po Xiao would not be as simple as he had imagined.
But at this point, what choice did he have but to obey?
Thinking this, he said grimly, "I hope you keep your word."
"Naturally."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then took out the antidote for the Spirit Sealing Pill from his spatial bag and threw it to the other party.
Hasar caught the pill and swallowed it without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand and said, "You can go. If there's anything I need you to do in the future, I'll send you a message."
On the other side, feeling his spiritual energy gradually recovering, Hasar did not leave but hesitated.
After a moment, he looked at Ye Cangtian and said with difficulty, "Po Xiao, it will be difficult for me to account for myself if I return like this…"
For this operation, the Bright Hall had dispatched five red-robed bishops. With four of them dead, they had only managed to eliminate one Azure Saber.
Such a result was unacceptable to the Pope, who might even kill him in a fit of rage.
Even if he were spared, he would likely be of little use in the future, his status would decrease, and it would not be of much help to Po Xiao…
Ye Cangtian felt that this was a tricky issue, so he asked, "Then what do you want?"
Hasar quickly said, "Could you give me your spatial bag? That way, I'll have something to report to the Pope…"
"Certainly."
Ye Cangtian agreed without hesitation. If he could use an external item to plant a spy within the Bright Hall, it was a worthwhile deal.
Thinking this, he took out a spare spatial bag, then filled it with some pills and spirit stones.
Finally, after a slight hesitation, he also threw in the Ice Flame Dagger he had taken from Carol. All this was to make the Pope believe that this was his spatial bag.
"Hasar, you can have the spatial bag, but this is something beyond our original agreement. So, you must do your best to find out what the Pope is looking for!"
Upon hearing Po Xiao's words, Hasar nodded without hesitation. He was already on the ship now; agreeing to one more thing would have the same effect as agreeing to two.
Seeing that Hasar had agreed, Ye Cangtian then threw the spatial bag over and then ignored him, turning to leave.
