2304

Xu Taiping got up from the ground.

He looked at the tall and strong man before him.

Who would have thought that this man would be the dying Pope?

The Pope had always assumed the appearance of an old man. It was said that he was sick often, but he did not expect that it was all an illusion. The Pope appearing in front of the public was an image he had deliberately created.

"Bah!"

Xu Taiping spat on the ground, blood flowing out of his mouth.

"I haven't had such a body in a long time." His voice was very low, completely different from the old and withered voice from before.

"You think you will win just like that?" Xu Taiping glared at the Pope and said, "It's just getting bigger, it's like it's different for whoever."

"You also know divine bodies?!" The Pope asked in surprise. The Divine Body was a secret technique not passed down in the Church.

"I don't know how to use the Divine Body, I know how to use it." "Arise." Xu Taiping grinned, then charged toward the Pontiff. As he did, his body suddenly began to glow with a layer of blood!

The second form of Blood Power appeared on Xu Taiping's body. At the same time, Xu Taiping's strength and speed were greatly increased.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping was standing directly in front of the Pope, unleashing a fist strike.

The Pope did not show any signs of weakness and countered with a heavy punch!

Bang!

The two fists collided with each other.

This time, Xu Taiping was no longer crushed. After the two fists collided, his power actually suppressed the Pope by a little.

"Go to hell!" Xu Taiping crazily threw his Chilling Qi at the Pope.

The Pope continued punching Xu Taiping, but Xu Taiping's attacks were too fierce, and the Pope was forced back a little.

"Ha!" Xu Taiping roared, gathering all his power into his right fist and punching out once again.

The Pope placed both hands in front of his body!

Bang!

A dull thud was heard, and the Pope staggered back a few steps.

Xu Taiping rushed forward, and just as he was about to take advantage of Xu Taiping's illness to take his life, the Pope suddenly grabbed the staff that was in Xu Taiping's way, placing it horizontally in front of him.

Clang!

Xu Taiping threw out a punch, and it landed heavily on the Divine Staff. The power that was enough to shatter a machine was not able to do anything when it came into contact with the Divine Staff.

The entire staff was completely undamaged, while Xu Taiping was knocked back several steps by the huge recoil.

"He actually took the guy?" Xu Taiping said in a teasing tone.

The Pope looked at Xu Taiping and said, "The staff of light is the Pope's weapon."

"Is that so?" Xu Taiping shook his fist, "I just don't know if it's your staff or me."

The Pope smiled, grabbed the staff with one hand and slammed it into the ground.

Clang!

The tail of the godly staff directly stabbed into the ground, and as the godly staff collided with the ground, a strange fluctuation was emitted from the godly staff.

When this wave of energy reached Xu Taiping, he couldn't help but take a step back, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up.

"What the hell?!" Xu Taiping asked in shock.

"The staff of light was bestowed by the God of Light upon us. It contains the power that only the Pope can activate. You are very fortunate to be the first person to die under the staff in the past hundred years." As the Holy Emperor spoke, he grabbed the staff of light and charged towards Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping's face was solemn. Just now, the undulations from the Radiant Divine Staff were similar to the one he had felt from Xiang Ju Hua. If it really was Yu Wei, it would be a great threat to him.

In the blink of an eye, the Pontiff was right in front of Xu Taiping, waving the staff in his hands to sweep at him.

Xu Taiping held his hands in front of his body.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the staff of light directly fell on Xu Taiping's hands, and at that moment, that strange fluctuation appeared once again.

For some unknown reason, Xu Taiping's hands turned soft, and in that moment, the staff of light opened up Xu Taiping's hands, and heavily fell on his body.

Xu Taiping was sent flying, but the Pope did not intend to let Xu Taiping go. He took advantage of the victory to give chase and charged towards Xu Taiping, lifting his staff high into the air before smashing it down onto Xu Taiping's body.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Xu Taiping was directly smashed into the ground by the staff of light, the ground breaking into countless pieces. The Pope raised his staff once more, wanting to smash it into the ground.

At that moment …

A mass of blood mist suddenly spread out from Xu Taiping's body, enveloping both the Pope and Xu Taiping within it. The blood mist rapidly spread, filling the entire room.

"Blood Purgatory!"

This was Xue Ba's ultimate attack, and at this moment, it appeared here.

The pope's staff fell to the ground, but it did not hit anything.

The Pope looked around and realized that he couldn't see anything around him.

"What is your relationship with Xue Ba?" the Pope asked.

No one answered the Pope's question.

At that moment …

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out.

The Pope was hit on the left side and was sent flying.

The Holy Emperor fiercely stabbed the Radiant Divine Staff into the ground, stopping his flying body. He then looked around, but he still couldn't see anything.

"You have no chance." Xu Taiping's voice came from all directions, and at the same time, a barrage of attacks landed on the Pope.

The Pope's body constantly trembled. He tried to dodge and counterattack, but it was useless. In this bloody hell, the stench of blood was extremely disgusting. The viscous blood also delayed his movements.

Finally, the Pope was beaten until he spat out blood.

This was the first time in who knows how many years that the Pontiff had been injured, and this time, he was thoroughly infuriated.

"You shouldn't have angered me." The Pope looked ahead and said, "If there was a small possibility of you surviving before, now, there is no longer that possibility. I am the incarnation of the God of Light in the mortal world, so provoking me is tantamount to angering the God of Light.

The Pope grabbed the staff with both hands and stabbed it into the ground.

Bang!

The Radiant Divine Staff was pierced into the ground and with the actions of the Pope, a terrifying and mighty pressure suddenly spread out from the scepter.

"God's Punishment is mighty and mighty!" The Pope roared.

Weng! *

A muffled sound rang out.

The blood surrounding the Pope was instantly vaporized!

Everything in the room returned to normal. In front of the Pope, Xu Taiping fell to one knee on the ground, his body shaking violently.

He was not injured, but that formless pressure made it hard for Xu Taiping to stand.

Having felt Yu Wei's power before, Xu Taiping immediately understood that this was definitely its power, and not its power like Xiang Ju's. He was the purest, most complete power!

The Pope had actually comprehended the power?

Xu Taiping didn't have time to think because the Pope was already right in front of him.

The Holy Emperor held the Radiant Staff in his hand, but it actually emanated a weak light.

"You … are dead." The Pontiff raised his staff high and swung it down right at Xu Taiping's head.

Bang!

Xu Taiping's head was hit and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from the back of his head.

Afterwards, the Pontiff raised the staff in his hand, and once again aimed it at Xu Taiping.

Bang!

Xu Pingping seemed to have been struck by a Body Securing Talisman, and was totally unable to move, and the most terrifying thing was that Xu Pingping seemed to have lost all the strength in his body. He was unable to use his own strength to resist the power of the Radiant Staff, and could only allow it to strike his defenseless body.

The Holy Emperor raised his staff again and again, smashing it down.

Xu Taiping's hand was broken, his spine was broken, his spine was broken, his pelvis was broken, and even his calves were broken.

Every time the Staff of Light landed, Xu Taiping would be sent flying before landing heavily on the ground.

Xu Taiping tried to struggle, to resist, but it was useless. Under the suppression of the pure might, Xu Taiping had no way to resist, he could only allow the staff to land on him time and time again, and with each swing of the staff, Xu Taiping's body would be severely injured.

The Pontiff's strength was too great, and Xu Taiping's muscles were completely relaxed now. The Pontiff's strength could be applied directly to Xu Taiping's bones, and it would not be reduced in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping had become a complete cripple. No matter how fast he recovered, with his bones broken, it would still take a long time to recover.

Xu Taiping fell flat to the ground, extremely weak.

The Pope stood in front of Xu Taiping and said, "Mortals are unable to fight against God."

With that, he raised the staff above his head, pointing it at the back of Xu Taiping's head. The Pontiff then pressed down hard on it.

This staff strike was destined to cause Xu Taiping's head to bleed profusely.

"Bastard!" Xu Taiping roared in indignation. He never thought that the Pontiff's Staff of Light would actually contain such power. If it weren't for this staff, he would have killed the Pope and Kang Sen long ago!

Just as the staff was about to stab into Xu Taiping's brain, a blood-stained, unadorned dagger suddenly appeared beneath the staff.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, sparks flew in all directions.

The Divine Staff didn't pierce through Xu Taiping's head, but was blocked by a dagger. And the owner of the dagger, was a man wearing a mask.
