CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 327 SAINTESS SOPHIA

In the Bright Church, the position of the red-robed Archbishop is second only to the Pope.

Every red-robed Archbishop possesses at least SSS-level superpower strength!

However, despite the formidable power of this red-robed Archbishop, under the deterrence of the dragon vein, he still couldn’t move his body, looking pale as if he were a dying man.

"Master Blood Dragon, do not harm people!"

"Divine Arts! Radiant Protection!"

The Pope looked terrified and quickly intervened to rescue.

His scepter burst forth a strong golden light, and like a flying snake, the scepter swiftly moved in front of the red-robed Archbishop, erecting a golden barrier wall!

This was the Pope’s most powerful protective Divine Art!

In the battle twenty years ago, it was this Divine Art that blocked the fierce attacks of Master Blood Dragon for an entire hour, giving the defeated troops of the Bright Church time to retreat.

The dragon vein struck the light wall, causing continual ripples and vibrations.

Although the dragon vein didn’t break through the light wall initially, the force of the vibrations still caused the young red-robed Archbishop to keep spitting blood, suffering severe internal injuries.

This powerful attack from Master Blood Dragon shocked all the personnel of the Church.

This man is still as dominating as he was twenty years ago! His strength has not weakened at all!

Hardly a word exchanged before he moves to injure someone!

Overwhelmingly tyrannical!

"Dragon vein! Return!"

Master Blood Dragon uttered a cold snort, reaching out his hand to call back the dragon vein.

"Master Blood Dragon, such behavior is somewhat inappropriate!"

The Pope breathed a sigh of relief, recalled his scepter, and with an ugly expression said to Master Blood Dragon.

This red-robed Archbishop had barely spoken when he nearly faced fatal peril; Master Blood Dragon was nearly defying the heavens!

"Enough talk, face my sword!"

Master Blood Dragon bellowed, his Blood Dragon Long Sword quivering lightly, continuously humming.

The Bright Church wants to kill Bai Yan, and with Master Blood Dragon’s protective nature, he certainly won’t let them off easily!

"Whoosh!"

Sword Intent surges!

The Blood Dragon Long Sword soared into the air, even bringing about the sound of wind and thunder!

"Here comes the sword, the wind rises, the dragon vein moves!"

Master Blood Dragon’s beard and hair fluttered wildly, his eyes wide open with rage, as if he wanted to channel all his fury into this single sword strike!

The dragon vein roared, seventy-two dragon veins burst forth, all swirling around the Blood Dragon Long Sword.

"Yin~!"

With a tremble of the sword, the Blood Dragon Long Sword turned into a streak of crimson light, fiercely stabbing towards the Pope!

The faces of the other Church members turned pale, their eyes widened, almost as if their spirits were being seized by this sky-piercing sword strike!

This Eastern Demon God is too domineering, he did not even inquire if the Pope agreed, and attacked directly!

"Divine Arts! Divine’s Right Hand!"

The Pope’s old face was covered with shock, his voice hoarsely roaring, he hastily used his proudest Divine Art in defense!

Suddenly, a gigantic golden hand appeared in the sky, radiant and imposing.

The divine hand became a claw, lunging towards the Blood Dragon Long Sword!

"Zzzzz!"

The sword point, indestructible!

In an instant, it ripped through the giant golden hand.

"Crack!"

The Right Hand of God instantly burst, turning into specks of golden light rain that fell beautifully.

"Pfft!"

The Pope clutched his chest, spitting out old blood, which contained a trace of golden light.

The Pope’s body floated in midair, swaying unsteadily.

"Pope His Holiness!"

"Pope His Holiness!"

Several red-robed Archbishops quickly changed color and wanted to rush into the sky to support the Pope.

"Back off."

The Pope growled, waved his hand, signaling everyone not to come closer.

He didn’t want to provoke Master Blood Dragon.

The Blood Dragon Long Sword circled around the Pope, emitting a light whining sound as if showing off, and then returned to Master Blood Dragon’s hand.

"Not dead?"

Master Blood Dragon held his sword with pride and stood erect, lightly raising his eyebrows, indifferently watching the Pope.

"So be it, then let us proceed with the agreement! Within one month, send the Saintess to Shen Zhou for my pleasure! If I find out you betray me, I will surely bring down Sofia Cathedral and wipe the Bright Church from the face of the earth!"

Master Blood Dragon, domineering as ever, dropped these words, his dragon energy returning to his body, then he turned and transformed into a streak of scarlet light disappearing into the sky.

"Remember, I give you only one month!"

Vaguely, the voice of Master Blood Dragon came from the horizon, echoing through the Bright Church Headquarters, slowly fading away.

Master Blood Dragon did not allow the Pope any time to explain, the agreement didn’t need approval from the Bright Church side!

He, Master Blood Dragon, speaks and it shall be!

Disagree?

You’ll have to hold it in anyway!

"Pope, Your Holiness!"

After Master Blood Dragon departed, a group of red-robed Archbishops quickly ran up to help the Pope.

"You are bleeding!"

"That damn Eastern Demon God, so domineering!"

"He deserves to die!"

Many were worriedly looking at the Pope.

The Pope waved his hand, took a deep breath, his expression easing, "I’m alright, if I hadn’t taken some damage, that Eastern tyrant Dragon wouldn’t have left here!"

Many young Church personnel were shaken by these words.

Could it be that even the Pope is no match for him?!

After all, His Holiness the Pope is a powerful being nearly divine, the only one in the Bright Church who has surpassed the SSS-tier ranking!

"Pope, what about our Saintess..."

An elderly red-robed Archbishop whispered to the Pope.

The Pope’s eyes slightly closed, then he sighed and said, "Return to the temple and have her come see me."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded and complied, the knights dispersed, and the church returned to a quiet and serene state.

Inside the Church Court’s grand hall, a stunningly beautiful young woman accompanied by a red-robed Archbishop, slowly walked up to the front of the hall.

The woman wore a pure white Monk Robe, her figure was voluptuous, and the loose Monk Robe could hardly hide her proud curvaceous body.

Her golden hair flowed like waves, her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves.

Her deep blue eyes, clear as springs undisturbed by any impurity. Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul, and those with such eyes are often genuinely pure of heart.

The skin on her face was tender like a baby’s, rosy and delicate, her cherry lips moist and red, truly an angelic face.

Any man seeing her would not help but exclaim, "There is such a beautiful and pure woman in this world!"

Her gentle and ethereal demeanor seemed naturally saintly, making one unwilling to sully her, even approaching her felt like a sin.

Based solely on appearance and aura, she was not inferior to the daughters of the An Family, in fact, even surpassing them!

"Pope, good afternoon."

Saintess Sophia moved gracefully, her lips parting as she slightly bowed and placed her right hand on her chest in greeting.

Her sweet and ethereal voice echoed in the cathedral hall, almost cleansing the soul, making one feel extremely comfortable.

"Sophia, you must have heard about the situation from Archbishop Colins."

The Pope, seated on the throne in the grand hall, spoke in a low voice, "I hope you can accept this mission, go to Shen Zhou, tame the Demon, and spread the glory of our Lord."

This Saintess’s name was exactly the same as the headquarters of the Church Court, the cathedral itself!

This showed how much she was favored by the Divine Father and the Pope, calling her the Daughter of God of the Bright Church was not overstating at all.

"It is an honor, Sophia!"

Saintess Sophia’s face was holy, her gentle smile and her eyes like crystal clear springs brimming with sanctity and purity.

"Very well! Prepare yourself, and then soon set off for the East; you will be carrying out this mission alone, its success depends entirely on you," the Pope said, gazing deeply at Sophia.

This was the jewel in the Church’s crown, and if it weren’t for the coercive demand of Master Blood Dragon, the Pope would certainly not wish to put her in danger.

With things as they stood, the Church had no other choice, they had to send Sophia to avoid enraging the Eastern Demon God.

At the same time, the Pope was reluctant, planning to assign several tasks to Sophia.

If she could create trouble inside Hua Xia, possibly influencing that Eastern Demon, that would be ideal!

"I will follow your command most faithfully," Sophia nodded and gracefully exited the hall.

For her, who grew up in the Church, her steadfast faith in the Divine Father trumped everything, any mission sent by the Pope she would accept without blinking.

For the Divine Father, she would sacrifice everything.

Even presenting her pure self to appease the Demon, she would not hesitate!
