"Damn it!"
The man in the black robe was startled, instinctively sensing danger.
He released Chen Shu's right hand and rolled away, dodging the incoming potion.
"Gulp!"
Chen Shu ignored him, quickly swallowed a teleportation potion, and his body instantly vanished.
Previously, when the man in the black robe held him, Chen Shu could have used the system space to transfer the teleportation potion to his left hand.
However, because he was close to the man in the black robe, he would have taken the other person with him during the teleportation.
He could only use the nuclear bomb to force the other party back first.
"Humans can teleport?!"
The man in the black robe exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock.
"Just wait for death!"
Chen Shu glanced at him, preparing to rescue Liu Feng first, and then return to Origin Island to gather reinforcements.
As soon as his hand reached out, before he could even touch Liu Feng,
A bolt of lightning struck with a strange trajectory!
Boom—
Chen Shu had no time to evade and was struck by the lightning. He was instantly sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"If I were played by you little brat, then all these years would have been for nothing."
The man in the black robe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was naturally cautious and had a backup plan; otherwise, he would have really been tricked by the other party.
Screech!
The Thunder Eagle landed beside the man in the black robe. Liu Feng, on its back, was surrounded by lightning, preventing Chen Shu from approaching.
"Hoo hoo~~"
Chen Shu gasped for breath, his right hand injured and bleeding profusely.
However, he paid no mind to the intense pain, his gaze fixed on the man in the black robe ahead, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Actually, I didn't intend to kill you."
The man in the black robe smiled slightly and said, "Otherwise, the lightning just now would have been enough to instantly kill you!"
"What exactly do you want?!"
Chen Shu was constantly thinking of a countermeasure, while his words were meant to stall for time.
The man in the black robe extended his right hand, pointed at him, and said:
"You! I want YOU!"
"???"
Chen Shu was slightly stunned, a sudden chill running down his spine. What a pervert!
"Allow me to introduce myself, the Church of Salvation, Archbishop Hugh!"
The man in the black robe smiled slightly and said, "I actually have only one goal: I want you to... join the church!"
"En?!"
Chen Shu's expression was one of surprise, a hint of daze.
"Whatever China can give you, our church can give it!"
Hugh's tone was full of confidence, saying:
"Moreover, don't you think our church is a better fit for you?"
"You want me to work for you?"
Chen Shu scoffed, "Can you afford the price?"
"We can afford it!"
Hugh smiled slightly and said calmly, "With the entire church as collateral, is that enough?"
"What do you mean?"
"As long as you are willing to join, the position of Little Pope will be yours!"
Hugh stated, "The Little Pope has a status comparable to, or even superior to, the Archbishop. You could say you'd be second only to the Pope, the highest authority below him!"
"And once the Pope abdicates, you will be the number one person in the church!"
"..."
Chen Shu remained silent, a flicker of interest in his eyes.
Liu Feng's eyes widened, instantly understanding. No wonder the other party had gone to such lengths to lure Chen Shu out.
"You have talent and ambition!"
"Our church can provide you with all sorts of assistance to help you achieve legendary status! We can then establish the only dynasty on Planet Blue!
Hugh smiled slightly, sat down beside Liu Feng, and his voice was full of temptation:
"And you will become the true number one person among humans!"
Chen Shu curled his lips and calmly sat down, saying:
"Are you guys now giving handouts to bandits? Give me something tangible!"
"..."
Hugh's expression froze. I've said so much, and you're not even reacting?
He took a deep breath and said:
"Of course, there are!"
Then, he took out three containers, inside which were the core materials of fierce beasts. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Three Golden Lord core materials! A small token of my goodwill!"
Saying this, he directly threw the containers over, without any hesitation.
"En?"
Chen Shu had the Spatial Rabbit catch them and observed them. They were indeed core materials, worth over a billion!
"As long as you officially join, I will present you with the core material of a Beast Emperor!"
Hugh declared, "Although not as good as divine skills, they are also immeasurable by wealth alone!"
The rank above Golden Monarch was Beast Emperor. Such a peerless treasure was likely not even in the official vault.
"At the same time, the church's accumulated resources over the years will be freely accessible to you, allowing you to quickly break through to the Golden rank!"
"It sounds quite sincere."
Chen Shu stroked his chin, then asked, "What if I refuse?"
Hugh said coldly:
"Then the Dark Forest will be your and your teacher's graveyard!"
"I agree!"
Chen Shu immediately said decisively, "To refuse wealth is to be ungrateful!"
"Really?!"
Hugh's expression was ecstatic. He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.
It seemed the church's analysis was correct. For a notorious figure like Chen Shu, as long as enough resources were provided, he could have no allegiance.
Besides, if he refused, it would mean certain death!
Even if the other party could teleport, he was confident he could kill him here!
Hugh continued, "However, the church requires you to do a small favor first..."
"What?"
"Kill him!"
Hugh pointed at Liu Feng below his feet, wanting to see Chen Shu's reaction.
"No problem!"
Chen Shu looked at Liu Feng. Their eyes met, but both were filled with calmness, with no unusual expression.
Roar! Roar!
Just then, a glint appeared in Er Ha's eyes, and hot flames emerged from its mouth.
With just one death flame pillar, Liu Feng could be turned into ashes, leaving no trace behind.
Hugh said, "Come on, show the church your sincerity!"
But just as Er Ha was about to unleash its skill,
Chen Shu spoke again, "I'm a little excited. Can I sing a song first?"
"???"
Hugh was stunned. What kind of song are you singing at a time like this?
Chen Shu said, "You know, at the start of the semester, this guy almost cremated me. Now that I finally have a chance for revenge, it's only natural to celebrate."
"..."
Hugh's mouth twitched, but he also knew about Liu Feng's information; he did enjoy the cremation process...
He nodded. There was no reason to refuse such a small request.
"Listen to me, thank you... Uh... wrong one..."
Chen Shu's gaze was peculiar as he looked at the shadow beneath his feet and softly recited:
"Makka Pakka, Akka Wakka..."
