"Uh, let me explain!"
Seeing the Bat Emperor's delirious state, Chen Shu quickly said:
"I actually... did it on purpose."
"???"
The Bat Emperor roared to the sky, instantly growing to a thousand meters in size, its wings obscuring the sun and moon as it sped towards Chen Shu!
"Gotta run, gotta run..."
Chen Shu teleported ten thousand meters away and deliberately stayed within the Bat Emperor's lock.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The Bat Emperor's massive body flew, heading straight for Chen Shu.
It had only one thought: to tear the human before it to pieces!
"Dali, did I go too far?"
Chen Shu scratched his head. It seemed like this was the third time he had destroyed the Bat Emperor's territory...
"A bit."
Dali nodded, then chuckled and said, "But my suggestion is... turn up the heat!"
"..."
The two chatted and laughed as they headed towards the northern coastline.
After this incident, even if Chen Shu ran back to China, this guy would probably charge in directly.
Roar!
The Bat Emperor pursued relentlessly, its killing intent chilling to the bone, making countless fierce beasts tremble.
"You are truly asking for death!"
The Bat Emperor spoke human words, saying, "If I don't kill you in this life, this Emperor will never break through!"
This time, it was truly enraged to the point of madness!
In a short while,
Chen Shu had arrived at the northern coastline and plunged into the sea.
The Bat Emperor behind him followed without hesitation.
Although this was not its territory, anyone who dared to block it now would be its mortal enemy!
"Following so closely..."
Chen Shu glanced back and began searching the sea for traces of the Salvation Church.
Before long, he found faint clues of the contract spirits' passage. After all, with over a thousand contract spirits, it was impossible to hide perfectly.
At this moment, the Pope ten thousand meters away felt a slight unease in his heart.
"Your Holiness, what's wrong?"
The Archbishop 'Xing' beside him asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Full speed ahead, something feels off!"
The Pope kept looking back, his unease growing stronger.
For a moment, no one held back their skills and began to advance rapidly across the sea.
Seeing the Pope so serious, everyone else also felt a bit uneasy.
Could something big be about to happen?
Before long, the Pope sensed something and suddenly turned back.
His gaze pierced through the surging waves and locked onto a tiny figure!
Even though they were far apart, he recognized the person!
"It's that kid!" Da Feng Fiction Network
The Pope's pupils constricted; he had finally found the source of his unease.
"The Southern River Bandit?"
Archbishop 'Xing' was startled, then said with killing intent, "He still dares to follow us? Should we..."
"Ignore him! Run!"
The Pope was decisive, saying, "There's definitely something going on!"
How could such a troublesome person possibly deliver himself to death?
Boom, boom, boom!
For a moment, everyone even took stimulants and began to desperately push forward, just wanting to get away from Chen Shu.
But the next second, Chen Shu behind them vanished.
The Pope's pupils constricted, and he suddenly looked to the front.
As expected, Chen Shu had already reached the front of the team, a teasing smile on his face.
"We're old friends, why are you running so fast?"
"Chen Shu, you're really asking for death!"
Archbishop 'Xing' stepped forward, his eyes filled with cold killing intent, his five contract spirits beside him restless.
"We're partners, and this is the attitude you give me?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, but then his expression froze, and he suddenly looked to another part of the team.
He saw a small red monkey beside Archbishop 'Yan'.
It looked excited, gnawing on the corpse of a King-level contract spirit, and a powerful aura was gradually rising from it.
"Hm?"
His eyes moved, a hint of surprise in them.
"You scoundrel!"
Just then, the Pope roared, interrupting Chen Shu's thoughts.
"What the hell, can't you have some manners? You old man, always cursing!"
"??"
The Pope's expression turned cold and he said, "Did you lead the Beast Emperor here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, a hint of panic appearing.
Chen Shu shrugged and said indifferently, "I figured you guys needed to have a good chat."
"..."
Everyone's faces turned grim. Chat about what nonsense!
"Your Holiness, what should we do..."
"You all retreat first, I'll try to negotiate with it and buy some time!"
The Pope took a deep breath, his scepter glowing brightly, and instantly transformed into a colossal golden dragon, soaring into the sky.
"Let's retreat first!"
Seeing this, Archbishop 'Xing' took command and said:
"Don't worry, everyone, trust Your Holiness!"
As for Chen Shu, they completely ignored him. Although they couldn't catch him, Chen Shu couldn't do anything to two three-star King-level beast tamers like them.
But as they just set off, a blinding golden light instantly flashed from afar.
A golden dragon with a shattered body flew back, with the Pope standing on it, his face pale.
He glanced at everyone and said, "Negotiation failed..."
"..."
Everyone's eyes twitched. Was it that efficient...
And then, recalling what the Archbishop had said about trusting the Pope... so it would fail, right?
Perhaps feeling a bit awkward, the Pope then said:
"Didn't I tell you to retreat? Why are you still here?!"
"Your Holiness... that was less than a minute ago..."
"..."
As soon as he said that, the Pope became even more embarrassed...
It wasn't that his negotiation failed, but that he didn't even get a chance to negotiate. The Beast Emperor in front was acting completely insane...
At this moment, a passionate voice rang out:
"Your Holiness, let's just fight it directly! Even if the entire Church is annihilated, it doesn't matter!"
"Hm?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, not expecting such a spirited member!
He turned his head and saw Chen Shu mixed into the team, his face filled with righteous indignation.
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded. No wonder he dared to speak like that, since the annihilation of the Church wouldn't affect him...
"Chen Shu, actually, we can be allies..."
The Pope took a deep breath, wanting to persuade Chen Shu to lure the Beast Emperor away.
But at this moment,
A sharp shriek echoed, causing minds to scatter.
A pair of massive wings appeared in the sky, their shadow enveloping everyone, instantly sinking their hearts.
"You damned brat, is this the powerhouse behind you?"
The Bat Emperor's killing intent soared, its gaze fixed on the strongest, the Pope.
"Behind me?"
The Pope's eyes widened, and he quickly explained, "I don't know him..."
"You don't know him?"
The Bat Emperor said coldly, "Don't pretend, you were just talking about allies!"
"No... let me explain..."
Boom, boom!
The Bat Emperor gave no opportunity and directly initiated the battle!
A mist of poison appeared, quickly covering the entire team. Clearly, the Bat Emperor had no intention of letting anyone off.
Seeing this, Chen Shu instantly gave the rabbit a bottle of the berserk potion and said:
"Uh, you guys hold them off, I'll go get some more reinforcements..."
With that, he teleported and forcefully broke free from the Bat Emperor's domain skill.
"Hm?"
The Bat Emperor's gaze locked onto Chen Shu, and just as it was about to pursue again,
Its expression froze. Chen Shu had escaped its lock, already tens of thousands of meters away!
At this moment, Chen Shu disappeared from the scene,
The Bat Emperor and the members of the Salvation Church stared at each other, the scene becoming incredibly awkward...
