Chapter 50: The Death of the Bishop

Seemingly intended to mimic Vatican City, the Chosen City is also roughly triangular in shape, surrounded on three sides by walls, with a wide marble pavement leading from the city gate to the front of the basilica.

From the cathedral in the center of the city, the huge square in front of the church, the museums and libraries on the left and right sides of the church, and even the ordinary houses in the city, all of them are built in the ancient Roman style.

Christian. Bell slowly stepped down from a gorgeous carriage, and in front of him was a crowd of cheering and kneeling, one after another white-robed believers knelt down with their buttocks pouted high, forming a sea of white that could not be seen.

The wind gently ruffled the corners of Christian's dark purple bishop's robes, blowing the silver strands of his sideburns. Christian squinted his eyes and indulged in the devout worship of thousands of believers, and he loved the feeling of being on top.

From the president of a multinational company to the bishop of a mysterious church in China, Christian quickly completed the transformation of role. Or that this multinational company was originally prepared for him to become a bishop, and the real estate projects that the company had previously undertaken became the stronghold of Heaven's Gate, including this chosen city was also built by the company before the end of the world in the name of tourist attractions, and the company's previous large-scale purchase of goods that even its own employees could not understand played a huge role after the end of the world.

Christian is silently preparing everything in secret, secretly preparing before the end of the world, just for this moment!

These secret preparations are not even known to his own Chinese wife. Thinking of his wife Christian, he looked at the end of the crowd, and at the end of the crowd in the distance, he really saw the smiling figure of Zhongli Yuhua standing.

Christian walked forward slowly, his palm reaching out and caressing the heads of the believers kneeling on the side of the road. The believers began to stir slightly, and the believers near the side of the road squeezed forward desperately, hoping to get a chance to be lifted by Bishop Christian.

Twenty knights of heavenly punishment in golden armor surrounded Bishop Christian in the middle, separating the believers who wanted to rush towards the bishop.

Christian was still smiling, his palm stroking over the top of the believer's head, but his gaze remained on Zhongli Yuhua in the distance.

A flying sword suddenly flew out of the crowd without warning, like a flash of cyan lightning, and before the Heavenly Punishment Knight could react, the flying sword had already passed directly through the crowd and stabbed towards Christian's throat.

Christian suddenly opened his eyes that had been squinting slightly, and two essences of light shot out of his eyes, and the flying sword and the essence light met head-on in the air two meters in front of Christian.

The result was absolutely surprising, the flying sword that was so imposing and even stabbed with the sound of the wind rolled and flew out the moment it met Jingguang.

"It's a miracle! Lord Bishop can shoot flying swords with his eyes! The believers who saw this scene burst into tears and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"There are assassins!" The five Heavenly Punishment Knights quickly rushed towards the place where the flying sword flew.

A white figure suddenly burst out of the crowd, stepping on the back of the crowd and fleeing in the opposite direction, followed by several Heavenly Punishment Knights.

Christian turned his head slightly, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't care about the result at all, this little thief didn't want to run out of the Chosen City at all, and he should probably thank him for providing him with another chance to show miracles in front of thousands of believers.

Just as Christian was enjoying the admiration of the believers and spreading the great miracles of God, the rear of the believers on the other side suddenly became chaotic. Among the kneeling believers, a man in the same white robe suddenly stood up, drew a large knife from his body and slashed at the surrounding believers. This person was like crazy, slashing aimlessly through the crowd with a big knife, scaring the surrounding believers into dodging in all directions, and the scene began to look a little chaotic.

Without Bishop Christian's instructions, the two Knights of Heavenly Punishment rushed towards the mad believer.

Christian frowned, there may be more accidents today, maybe he should find time to talk to Megan, the guards of the Chosen City should be strengthened.

There was a bang, Christian raised his head sharply, and a sky-high fire rose in the direction of the church in front of him.

The fire instantly covered the entire church, and the tall spire of the church also burned, like a huge torch, and the light of the fire could be seen throughout the Chosen City. The believers who were kneeling on the ground turned their heads in a panic, their faces full of horror and doubt.

Christian, who had always been calm, also showed a solemn and anxious expression on his face, and walked quickly towards the church with a quick pace, and Zhongli Yuhua, who found that something was wrong, also walked over to Christian.

Another white-robed figure jumped out of the crowd, and it was Chi Hua, who had been crouching on the side of the road in the crowd. Chi Hua now jumped forward and rushed to Christian's approach, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife in his hand was straightened, straight to Christian's eyebrows.

The two golden-armored heavenly punishment knights who were guarding in front of Christian rushed forward to meet Chi Hua, the two of them moved in unison, and the two-handed big sword in their hands faced the Great Xia Dragon Bird at the same time, trying to use the two two-handed big sword to hold the big sword with the two together.

There was a crisp click, and the moment the swords intersected, two palm-wide two-handed swords were cut off from the middle, and the two Heavenly Punishment Knights were stunned.

It was this stunned moment that the big knife in Chi Hua's hand continued to move forward and wipe sideways, and the knife light flashed between the necks of the two of them with a move of "one push and two advances", and the two heads flew towards Christian.

Christian was also stunned, he didn't think that the assassin with a big knife in front of him could rush in front of him when the two Heavenly Punishment Knights met him, and as a result, two heads flew towards him in the blink of an eye. He must not let blood stain his noble bishop's robes, and Christian's eyes lit up, knocking two heads into the air.

Chi Hua pounced forward, and before the other Heavenly Punishment Knights stopped Chi Hua, the blade of the big knife had already reached Christian, frightening Christian's body to retreat sharply, and at the same time, the light in his eyes shot out to try to force Chi Hua back.

Chi Hua didn't care about it, the knife momentum of the forward stab didn't stop, but the blade of the knife was slightly off, and he pushed aside one of the fine lights that shot towards the front door, and tried to dodge the other shot at the throat with one side of his head, but the movement was a little slow, and the fine light flew over his neck, and blood flowed down Chi Hua's neck.

But the big knife in Chi Hua's hand suddenly became longer, and it also reached Christian's body at the same time. With a stab, Christian's wide bishop's robe was cut diagonally by the broadsword, and the blade was also stained with red blood.

The two sides only had time to fight for a face-to-face, and the Heavenly Punishment Knight, who was guarding Christian's side, blocked Chi Hua again, hiding Christian behind him and sacrificing his life to pounce on Chi Hua.

Chi Hua saw that the knife in exchange for injury was unsuccessful, and the big knife in his hand, "Peacock Open Screen Full of Stars", slashed out a heavy knife shadow and forced back several Heavenly Punishment Knights who pounced, turned around and flew back, and jumped back into the crowd again.

The crowd stretched out their palms one after another, trying to grab Chi Hua. Chi Hua's body jumped up, stepping on the shoulders of white-robed believers and the top of their heads and rushing out, and the five Heavenly Punishment Knights followed Chi Hua closely behind and chased after him.

"Catch him, don't let him run! I'm going to burn him at the stake! Christian clasped his bleeding shoulders and shouted orders to the Heavenly Punishment Knights beside him. Being stabbed in front of so many believers is absolutely unacceptable and unforgivable, and the angel of God cannot be harmed in the minds of believers!

The Heavenly Punishment Knights beside Christian hesitated slightly, but because it was the bishop's order, three more Heavenly Punishment Knights chased after him, and at this time, there were only three Guardian Knights left by Christian's side.

"Look, Bishop!" One of the guards suddenly bowed his head and picked up a token from the ground wearing a thin metal chain.

"I think it fell from the assassin just now." Christian remembered the momentary exchange just now, and the beam of light from his eyes grazed the other party's neck, and the token should have fallen at that time.

As soon as the token was in his hands, Christian was shocked, and his face became extremely solemn, only to see that in the center of the golden hexagonal token was a skull that had been pierced vertically by a blood-dripping long sword.

"Bell, are you alright?" Zhongli Yuhua had already trotted over with an anxious face, and she had already seen the emptiness around Christian.

Hearing his wife's voice, Christian raised his head with a smile and looked at Zhongli Yuhua who was about to walk in front of him with affectionate eyes.

At the moment when Christian's head was slightly raised, a black sword suddenly appeared in the air without warning, and the long sword flashed in the air, and then disappeared again, as if it had never appeared, and some people even thought they were dazzled.

Zhongli Yuhua, who was about to rush to Christian's side, opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw, the black sword appeared and disappeared out of thin air, and then she saw the blood spurting from Bell's throat, Bell's eyes were still looking at her affectionately, but her body was slowly falling forward.

Zhongli Yuhua stepped forward and hugged Bell in his arms, desperately covering Bell's throat with his hand, but he still couldn't hold the blood flowing out.

Christian's gaze at Zhongli Yuhua was still full of affection, and his mouth kept coughing up blood, and every time he coughed up, more blood gushed out from his throat. Christian uttered the word "light" in an extremely weak voice, and when he tilted his head, he lost his breath.

Zhongli Yuhua bit his lip tightly and didn't cry, and the big tears kept falling on Bell's pale face in his arms.

On October 23, 2022, the Bishop of Heaven's Gate in China, Christian Anderson, was born. Bale was assassinated, and Bishop Christian died clutching a golden hexagonal token in his hand.

A year after the end of the world, the world became even more chaotic......
