As though he was talking about something insignificant and trivial, he said, “But since you’re seeking death, I don’t mind squashing you along the way!”
“On guard!”
Archbishop Chicas’ eyelid twitched continuously, and he let out a great shout—he knew that Meng Lei was about to launch an attack!
Clank, clank, clank!
The Holy Maiden Knights quickly released their Battle Aura and gathered it above them to form a tough, solid light shield that shrouded all of them within.
“You perverse demon! How dare you so cruelly and wantonly kill the Light Church’s half-deities!”
It was only within the light shield that Archbishop Chicas finally gained a sense of security. He glared at Meng Lei and shouted, “Surrender at once and follow me back to the Holy Mountain to repent for your sins if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, you’ll regret ever coming to the Light Continent when our Lord metes out punishment!”
“You’re too noisy!”
Meng Lei cast a glance at Archbishop Chicas. Then, he raised his glistening jade-like palm and lightly smacked downward in the direction of the Holy Maiden Knights.
Boom!
Power of Existential Plane formed a huge palm capable of blotting out the sky and crashed down on the Holy Maiden Knights like a great mountain.
Archbishop Chicas’ heart, as well as all the Holy Maiden Knights’ hearts, almost jumped out of their mouths as they watched the gigantic palm crashing down on them.
“Please watch over us, Goddess of Light!”
“We have to block that attack!”
“O supreme Lord, praise be to you! Please let us block that damned attack...”
Everyone shouted and cheered themselves on inwardly. However, their prayers went unanswered by the Goddess of Light because cracks formed all over the light shield the moment the gigantic palm made contact with the light shield.
Then, it broke with a crack and dissipated with white glowing particles that dissipated into the air.
“It’s all over!”
“We’re doomed now!”
Looks of despair came over everyone’s faces at once. How strong must that palm strike have been if even the light shield that tens of thousands of people had simultaneously formed couldn’t withstand it?
Just as everyone thought that they were about to be smashed into a bloody pulp, a sword’s golden glint burst forth from the Knights and shot toward the gigantic palm!
Slash!
The sword glint was incredibly sharp, and it cleaved the gigantic palm right into two. Then, a graceful golden figure appeared in a flash and gazed coldly at Meng Lei.
She was tall and slender and had a shapely, curvaceous figure.
She possessed unparalleled beauty that outshone even that of Lady Zhen’s1.
Her eyes were stern and grave, while her attractive face was as icy as snow.
She had a head of long blond hair and a pair of long and slender legs. Clad in golden armor and wearing a red cape on her shoulders, she carried herself tall and looked heroic and valiant.
“Your Eminence!” exclaimed Archbishop Chicas, whose spirits had become fired up again right away. The Holy Maiden was a pinnacle-level true god. With her around, there was nothing to fear!
The Holy Maiden glowered at Meng Lei and stated icily, “I am Altacia, the Holy Maiden of Light.”
“You’ve made your appearance at last!”
Meng Lei flicked his fingers as he said, “Here I was, thinking that you were going to hide at the back and refuse to come out.”
Altacia said coldly, “Deity from Heaven’s Vault Continent, this is the Light Church’s territory. We will not allow you to behave so atrociously here! Follow me back to the Holy Mountain to be punished!”
“The Light Church’s territory?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh.
I’m the master of this existential plane, y’know. The whole existential plane is my territory!
Yet you won’t allow me to behave so atrociously?
“Your Eminence, are you trying to make me die of laughter so that you can inherit my Ant Check Later1?”
Chapter 288: Holy Maiden Killed Instantly, Fleeing Away
“Your Eminence, are you trying to make me die of laughter so that you can inherit my Ant Check Later?”
Ant Check Later?
Altacia found that strange. However, from Meng Lei’s tone, she knew that he was not saying nice things. He was probably even mocking her!
“Foreign deity, you’re too arrogant!”
Altacia had a frosty look on her delicate face. “Surrender at once and follow me back to the Holy Mountain to stand trial! Or else, don’t hold it against me if I show you no civility!”
“Your Eminence, many had said similar things to me, but they never ended up well. I think... you’ll be the same.”
As he spoke, Meng Lei struck down a palm.
Boom!
It was another gigantic palm.
“Unrepentant!”
Altacia grunted softly as she swung down her sword and sliced the gigantic palm into halves.
“It’s Your Eminence, after all!”
“All hail our mighty Holy Maiden!”
“Your Eminence, let this damned heretic know the consequence of setting himself against the Light Church!”
“Die! Demon!”
The Light Church men cheered as it looked to them that the Holy Maiden had negated Meng Lei’s attack with only a swing of her sword. Naturally, she had the upper hand!
However, the Holy Maiden of Light did not think so—the gigantic palm was neither a physical attack nor a divinity attack, yet its power was of a true god’s level.
Plus, Meng Lei attacked casually just now—that was too scary!
In the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Light, Meng Lei was like a black hole that she could not see through at all. From this, she did not dare to underestimate Meng Lei.
Since when did such an expert pop out in Heaven’s Vault Continent? the Holy Maiden of Light thought as she tried to guess Meng Lei’s identity.
“Your Eminence, your combat prowess is
