Chapter 50: Tearing the Skin (Part II)

"Your Excellency, I think we should get down to business. The wind brought by the competition between Feng Congsheng and the cardinals blew Hou Yi's clothes into the hunt and fly, but his voice was not blown away, and it still clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Please. After a brief moment of surprise, the Pope quickly returned to normalcy, and his gestures remained dignified and graceful.

"It's about working together against black holes. I think Your Excellency also knows that this is the common goal of all countries in the world, so I would like to once again propose cooperation to Your Excellency, and I hope that Your Excellency will consider it carefully. ”

"It's non-negotiable, it's impossible. Without the slightest hesitation, the Pope directly rejected Hou Yi's proposal, but this was originally expected by Hou Yi.

"In this case, I hope that His Excellency the Pope will be able to strictly control his words and deeds for the remaining two months and not give unsuitable guidance to hundreds of millions of believers, and I would like to express my gratitude to Your Excellency on behalf of the Chinese Government. Hou Yi looked directly into the pope's eyes, and his words had already begun to become stern.

As the leader of the largest religion on earth, the Pope had never heard such words that were almost commanding, and naturally hardened, meeting Hou Yi's gaze without flinching, and asked in a deep voice: "Oh, I would like to ask the cultivators in the East, what is an inappropriate guidance?"

Hou Yi also put away his usual smile and said with a straight face: "The remarks about God's destruction of the world are inappropriate guidelines. I would like to ask you, Mr. Pope, do you really think that this time it is really God who wants to destroy the earth, or that you have been summoned by God himself?"

"To the first question, my answer is that I do, and on the second question, I can only tell Mr. Hou, and I have no comment. The Pope's expression remained unchanged, and Hou Yi couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart.

"In this way, is it impossible for us to reach this cooperation with the Holy See?" Hou Yi said in a more aggressive tone, already questioning.

"Impossible" the Pope replied unequivocally and categorically.

"Since we can't be collaborators, then we will be enemies from now on" Hou Yi was not surprised by the outcome of the negotiations, and this sentence was tantamount to declaring war on the Holy See.

"Old wind, it's time for us to go. Hou Yichong shouted from the wind with a wild laugh. At this time, Feng Congsheng had already begun to gain the upper hand in the competition of momentum, although there were already beads of sweat oozing from his face, but the five cardinals opposite were even more embarrassed, and the five old faces were all flushed, and sweat was rolling down.

In fact, the strength of the cardinal of the Holy See is not only what you see now, but the five of them are better at the technique of combined attack, for this kind of competition that completely requires their own strength, where will they be the opponent of the tiger demon who is almost ten thousand years old.

"Wait a minute, it will be solved immediately" Feng Congsheng couldn't listen to anyone's words as soon as he fought, and he was determined to completely suppress the cardinal's momentum with his fierce force.

The corners of the mouths of the five bishops, including Barry, immediately oozed blood, and they all took a step back. The faces of the five people were like ashes, but they didn't expect that this alien cultivator from the East could still retain his spare strength with one to five.

Seeing that his side was unfavorable, the "arrogant" Pope suddenly changed color, his golden robe swelled violently, and he flew wildly, and a holy power more powerful than the combined forces of the five bishops erupted from his body, catching the momentum of the wind and life.

Hou Yi secretly admired: "The master of the First Sect really has the true ability, and with the Pope's current strength, he can already stabilize the mid-stage cultivators." While thinking about it, he raised his hands and signaled to Ju Zhenyuan to prepare to help the two daughters of Qionglian and Yuping'er, who were born from the hand, to be a little restless, and the two daughters saw that the Pope made a move, and they wanted to help, but when they saw that Hou Yi did not move, they obediently stopped moving.

Hou Yi is not worried, he has fought with Feng Congsheng many times, and he knows his skills very well. Although I haven't seen Feng Congsheng make a move for a long time, I think that in these long four thousand years, Feng Congsheng's strength will not stand still.

Things turned out as Hou Yi thought. Feng Congsheng's force had already forced the five cardinals to the point of no retreat, and when the Pope intervened to help, the violent momentum that had suppressed the cardinals like a mountain suddenly disappeared. The cardinals were struggling to resist, when suddenly their opponents disappeared, one could not retract their momentum, and the momentum of the five of them rushed forward violently, colliding with the momentum of the Pope. Suddenly, a missile exploded on St. Peter's Square, and the violent shock wave rushed the five bishops, who were not in a hurry, to retreat a few steps, and sat down on the ground together, all five of them spurted out a mouthful of blood, obviously seriously injured. And the Pope took a few steps back, his face full of horror.

This level of competition is not fierce, compared to the wind from the past to experience those battles that go to the sky and the earth, open the mountain and break the stream, it is just a small scene, but the danger is enough to compare, the slightest carelessness is the end of serious injury. However, the process of the competition made Feng Congsheng a little surprised, these old men who seemed to be in their last years actually had such a powerful momentum, which was completely incompatible with their bodies, and this kind of power did not seem to be their own, because their bodies could not contain this kind of power. It's almost the same to say that their bodies are a medium, and that the Holy Power is just being released through their bodies, and this is not their own power.

"This Holy See really still has some doorways" Feng Congsheng put away some contempt, but he didn't pay much attention to the cardinals, if their abilities were limited to this, it would be very easy to deal with the Holy See.

However, Hou Yi is not as optimistic as Feng Congsheng, although the Pope and the cardinal look a little embarrassed, although they have the shock of Feng Congsheng's strength on their faces, they are more confident, and even Bishop Barry, who may have different ambitions, does not have too negative expressions. This shows that the Holy See is not depressed by the defeat of five enemies, and they still have dependence, which is enough for them to defeat a master like Feng Congsheng.

"Hahaha...... It's really enjoyable" Feng Congsheng looked up to the sky and smiled, very rampant, but he did have rampant capital, "Hou Yi, do you want me to clean up this pope?" As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the Holy See were even more ugly.

"Your Majesty......" Bishop Tren looked at the Pope angrily, as if he was asking for something, but the Pope was still hesitating and did not agree to his request for the time being.

"Old wind, no need, let's go. "Hou Yike doesn't believe that the Holy See, which has stood for thousands of years, will be defeated by Feng Congsheng so easily, today is clearly a Hongmen banquet, if it is said that there is no ambush on the part of the Holy See, he will never believe it. At least the Inquisition and the Holy Knights, the most powerful of the legends, did not appear, and the Pope and Cardinal were more than they showed. Therefore, it is the best choice to take advantage of the upper hand and go, and wait until you are fully prepared to talk about the rest of the plan.

"Your Excellency, I still hope that you will carefully consider your proposal for cooperation and take your leave. Pope Hou Yichong bent down slightly, turned around and led the wind to retreat from the gap in the Holy Power Barrier from Sheng and the two daughters.

"Your Majesty" Bishop Tren saw that Hou Yi and others were about to withdraw from the Vatican walls, so he was so anxious that he spoke again to ask the Pope, and the rest of the cardinals also shouted "Your Majesty" with him.

The pope, who was usually amiable in front of the congregants, had a gloomy and frightening face at this time, he stared at the backs of the four people intently, stretched out his right hand and waved it behind him: "No need, let them go" The originally indignant bishops were immediately deflated, and no one dared to disobey the Pope's words.

It wasn't until Hou Yi and the others walked out of the city wall and flew away in the air that the Pope took two steps back and sat back on the golden chair. Hundreds of people suddenly poured out of the houses around St. Peter's Square, including clergy and priests dressed in black, as well as tall men in golden armor, who were the members of the Inquisition and the Holy Knights, who had been hidden from the world by the Holy See.

The crowd stopped a few dozen meters away from the Pope, quietly and orderly. The leading black-clad inquisitor and the fully armored paladin leader rushed out of the crowd and came to the Pope and the cardinal to bow deeply, and although their movements were meticulous, both of them had indignant and incomprehensible looks on their faces.

"Your Majesty, why don't you give your subordinates an order to kill all these pagans in the East?" the stunningly burly Paladin, who was two meters tall, was the first to ask his own question. Although the man was covered in golden armor, the size of the armor could be imagined as a result of the muscles and infinite strength below. The helmet's visor was lifted, revealing a hard, angular face. Judging by his appearance alone, this must be a brave warrior.

"Captain Viana, are you questioning Your Majesty?" Before the Pope could reply, the inquisitor of the Inquisition, dressed in black clerical robes, had already shouted at the tall paladin.

"Karno, do you think Your Majesty will believe your provocations?

As soon as the two of them met, they looked at each other, and it was obvious that they usually had a lot of discord.

The five cardinals had already risen from the ground, wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, straightened their robes, and continued to stand behind the Pope, but their faces were pale and not as refreshed as they had been at the beginning. The five were accustomed to the verbal altercation between Viana and Karno, and none of them spoke for either side.

The Pope rubbed his temples on both sides, obviously he also had a headache for these two capable subordinates: "Judge Karno, Captain Viana, don't quarrel, take your people back first." The tone was light, but there was an irresistible majesty. Karno agreed, and was about to turn around and retreat, although he was also full of doubts about the Pope's decision to let Hou Yi and the others leave, he didn't say a word of objection, and seemed very loyal.

"Your Majesty......" Viana seems to be a tendon, he must ask things clearly, and he wants to continue to ask. However, the Pope seemed to like Viana's character, and instead of scolding him, he sighed: "Viana, when will you be as smart as Karno, let me ask you, have you ever seen someone who can compete with five bishops alone to win the momentum?"

"No," Viana replied crisply, "but as soon as the Paladins come out, they can definitely defeat him." ”

"The Holy Knights are indeed very combat-ready. The Pope first praised Viana and then continued: "But there is an old Chinese saying that 'know oneself and know one's opponent, and one will not be defeated in a hundred battles,' and I think this is the truth. Among the four Eastern heretics just now, only Feng Congsheng, the tiger demon, made a move, Hou Yi and the other two women did not show a little bit of their strength at all, before they have a more accurate judgment of their strength, how can I rest assured that I can be sure that the strength of the three of them is definitely the same level as Feng Congsheng, with our arrangement today, it is not easy to leave them behind. Moreover, the five bishops are all injured, and the light of heaven cannot fully wield its power, and if they really fight, they may still be able to escape safely. Also, do you think they really didn't have an ambush?"

"I don't believe it," Via's neck stiffened.

The pope's face changed, and he was about to teach this rectum a lesson, but after thinking about it, he still held back: "In the secret room of the cathedral, there are some books that have never been made public, and I think it's time for you to take a look." ”

"What texts?" Even Cardinal Tren was surprised, as a cardinal whose status was only below the Pope, he didn't know the existence of these texts, how could he not be surprised.

"There are some powerful texts in the East that only the successive popes are qualified to read. "The Pope's gaze is as deep as if he has penetrated the river of time, going back to the distant times recorded in the classics.

"For countless years before the establishment of our Holy See, there have always been powerful cultivators and monsters in the mysterious East. They have almost unlimited lives and wield a variety of powerful weapons that are as destructive as the most powerful weapons in the world today. They can also abandon their physical bodies under the baptism of thunder and lightning and become more powerful beings, which they call immortals, or 'gods' as secular people usually call them. And the four people just now, they are two cultivators and two powerful monsters, according to my judgment, to achieve the power of Feng Congsheng, they have all survived for at least thousands of years, and such people still have many ...... in Shushan and Jinao Island, which have just appeared."

Including Vialli, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, everyone who heard these words was dumbfounded.
