Chapter 1416: Chapter 1414: Escape

The few cardinals who hadn’t fainted yet directly lunged at Wang Dadong like they were building a human wall.

Bang!

Wang Dadong’s fist smashed into the cardinal rushing at him.

The person immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, but instead of retreating, he reached out and embraced Wang Dadong!

With a resolute look in his eyes, he was defending the Pope with his life.

Soon, the second cardinal also hugged Wang Dadong.

In the blink of an eye, the nine cardinals who hadn’t fainted yet surrounded Wang Dadong completely.

Furious energy burst forth from Wang Dadong’s body, seemingly wanting to break the human wall apart.

With each burst of energy, blood would spill from the mouths of the nine cardinals.

Yet each person had a look of indifference to death in their eyes.

It must be said, the loyalty of these cardinals to the Pope had reached a terrifying degree.

Wang Dadong could no longer advance.

“Death Knell, do you have anything to say now?” The Pope looked indifferently at Wang Dadong, who was encircled by the human wall formed by nine cardinals, unable to move.

Wang Dadong replied to the Pope with only eight words: “Pope, I **** Sword Soul!”

Swish!

Invisible to the naked eye, a silhouette completely gathered from Sword Qi shot out from Wang Dadong’s body, directly passing through the cardinals surrounding him, slashing at the Pope standing before the throne.

Crack!

A crisp sound.

The Pope’s mask shattered in response.

The mask, split in half, slipped off his face and fell to the ground, making a ding-dong sound.

At this moment, everyone, including the Pope, was dumbfounded.

No one could have anticipated that even while being restrained, Wang Dadong could still unleash such a terrifying attack, shattering the Pope’s mask.

Fortunately, Wang Dadong’s power was almost depleted now, and this attack only managed to break the Pope’s mask.

Upon seeing the face beneath the mask, Wang Dadong was momentarily stunned.

It was a spotless, flawless face.

And incredibly beautiful.

Wang Dadong never thought, even in his dreams, that the Pope would be a woman.

He couldn’t believe it even more so that this woman turned out to be…

Piano Emperor!

“This is impossible!” Wang Dadong couldn’t believe what he saw before him.

The Piano Emperor was supposed to have become a War Corpse in the God Forbidden Zone! How did she become the Pope?

No, it couldn’t be. This certainly wasn’t the Piano Emperor.

Wang Dadong quickly realized that she was merely a woman who resembled the Piano Emperor a lot; she could not possibly be the Piano Emperor.

At that moment, one of the cardinals surrounding Wang Dadong seemed to have succumbed to his injuries and fell.

The pressure on Wang Dadong’s body instantly loosened. Without any hesitation, he unleashed his Inner Strength, temporarily shaking off two cardinals.

Seizing the opportunity, he grabbed one cardinal by the neck.

That cardinal was Gado.

At this point, a slight movement of his hand could twist Gado’s neck.

“Everyone back off, or I’ll snap her neck!” Wang Dadong shouted fiercely.

But, even though the cardinals surrounding him were all severely injured, none showed the intention to retreat.

“Are none of you afraid of dying?” Wang Dadong’s expression changed slightly.

“Afraid, but I will die for the Pope.” Gado said with great difficulty, blood seeping from her mouth with each word.

Initially, Wang Dadong thought that capturing one cardinal would give him a chance to escape, but he hadn’t expected the cardinals to be this loyal.

They would rather let their companion die than let him go.

Wang Dadong was caught in a dilemma.

Now he obviously didn’t have much strength left to fight; although the four High Priests were injured, their injuries weren’t serious.

The Pope hadn’t acted yet either.

“Fine, since you’re so loyal, I’ll send you to see God!” Wang Dadong’s fingers began to tighten, and Gado’s face immediately showed a painful expression.

He refused to believe that they were all heartless and indifferent to their companion’s life.

Besides, the situation had come to a head; he had no choice but to act. Since he couldn’t leave today anyway, he might as well take out a few cardinals—it wouldn’t be a total loss.

Crunch!

Gado’s throat bones began to crunch; clearly, in a few seconds, Gado’s throat would be crushed by Wang Dadong.

“Let him go.”

Finally, the Pope spoke.

Receiving the Pope’s order, the cardinals surrounding Wang Dadong then retreated, and as soon as a few retreated, they fell to the ground unconscious.

It seemed that earlier they persevered solely due to absolute loyalty to the Pope.

Wang Dadong did not let go of Gado because he feared that once he released her, the four Guardian High Priests would rush forward, and he certainly wouldn’t be able to leave today.

With a pull towards his chest, Wang Dadong made Gado lean against him, his hand still gripping her throat, and pushed her body toward the church doors.

Outside the church, countless monks and nuns had long gathered, and upon seeing this, they made way for a path.

“Oh my God, who is he, to have abducted a cardinal?”

“So, even cardinals aren’t invincible…”

Seeing this scene, many showed expressions of shock, as well as disappointment.

They thought the invincible cardinals were abducted.

Bang!

Suddenly, Wang Dadong felt Gado’s body tremble violently in his arms, and a flood of blood spewed from her mouth.

Wang Dadong’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected Gado to punch herself in the chest, trying to break her heart meridian.

He hastily struck an acupoint on her.

It was clear that the disappointed gazes of the congregation shamed the usually high-ranking cardinal, sparking a desire to die.

Wang Dadong, carrying Gado, left the church and directly stopped a taxi.

The taxi driver saw this scene and dared not drive, promptly jumping out of the driver’s seat in fear.

This was convenient for Wang Dadong to act as the driver himself.

Gado had been immobilized by an acupoint strike, unable to harm him or move.

In fact, Gado had already fallen unconscious.

Wang Dadong stuffed her into the passenger seat and sat in the driver’s seat himself, driving the taxi, swiftly vanishing into the street.

The car zigzagged, and the moment it passed a relatively narrow alley, Wang Dadong suddenly opened the car door, holding Gado, and jumped into the alley.

Although seemingly no one followed, he didn’t trust the Holy See to let him leave so easily.

Since Wang Dadong had wedged something on the accelerator, the car continued speeding forward.

After traveling over a hundred meters, the taxi abruptly veered off at a corner into the greenbelt and immediately overturned, but its four wheels kept spinning.

Less than a minute after the car flipped, a sharp-chinned Priestess appeared before the car, only to find it already empty.

“Damn it, he escaped!” The priestess’s exquisite face was filled with intense anger.
