I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 378 Antichrist? I'm just practicing Tai Chi
Theresa paused here.

"Thanks to Miss Rowan for destroying the first beam of light, Su, you are fighting the demon in the sky. Otherwise, London would have become a living hell."

This is not meant to be flattering.

Even if we have the cardinal on our side, it is difficult to compete with the devil, let alone two of them.

In the process of wiping away the blood of the fallen saints, the devil can bury everyone with just a single spell.

Hearing this, Su Fan did not answer.

At least on the surface, both Cain and Valak came to seek revenge on him.

Or maybe without me, the increasingly powerful demons would do something equally cruel...

As they walked, Theresa suddenly noticed that Su Fan beside her stopped.

She was about to ask when she saw a clergyman holding a cross and a Bible walking out of the bushes with a hostile look on his face.

"Theresa, come over to us."

One of the women called out to Theresa.

The latter was at a loss, but did not do as she said. Instead, he took a few steps back and subconsciously opened his arms to protect Su Fan.

"What do you want to do?!"

The woman opposite saw this and became anxious and angry.

She could see that Theresa didn't even think about it and chose to protect the young man opposite her without hesitation.

"What are you doing? Why are you standing in front of this heretic? Be careful or he will take you hostage!"

heresy?

Su Fan felt quite amused when he heard this.

When they met before, Theresa was very confident that there were already extremist groups within the Vatican.

But now one popped up in front of him.

The speech was interesting too.

In order to deal with these clergymen who can do nothing but chant scriptures, Su Fan had to take hostages for threat?

To put it bluntly, even though he was a rookie who only knew boxing, he could knock them down with one punch.

"Su, he won't do that. He's a good man. Don't you all know that he has been exorcising demons and saving people? And didn't you just see him fighting the demon with your own eyes?"

Theresa didn't know what was going on. These colleagues who usually spoke in a friendly and amiable manner suddenly showed such hostility towards Su Fan.

But she knew that she had to explain clearly to avoid conflict and to clear Su Fan's name.

"That might be his trick."

The other male priest stared at Su Fan.

"I've seen a clip of him on that exorcism show. He once turned lifeless glass into transparent, living, flying butterflies."

Beside him, another man suddenly spoke.

“Because the authority he has obtained is the same as the authority that the Antichrist has, which comes from Satan, he can perform great miracles to deceive people.

He carries out the mission for the Antichrist, asking people to worship the beast and to make an image of the beast that can speak. All idols in the world are dumb and cannot speak, but the image of the beast made by the false prophet can speak, thus deceiving the world even more.

"Creating life is the authority of Christ, but he is not Christ, but just another devil loyal to Satan."

"Theresa, please move aside. Don't continue to be deceived by him and become a sinner."

Theresa was stunned.

And Su Fan also understood what was going on.

The scripture that the man just recited comes from Revelation Chapter 13.

It says above that at the end of the world, before the final judgment, demons will perform miracles in the name of Jesus to gain people's faith.

Obviously, he was considered the Antichrist.

Su Fan never thought that the magical power of spraying would bring him such "trouble".

"If he is a disciple of Satan, a messenger of the devil, why would he fight with the devil and kill each other?"

Theresa still did not give up the idea of ​​convincing them, and used the fact that Su Fan had fought hard before as evidence to debate with the other party.

"The behavior of demons cannot be guessed by ordinary people's thinking. It is not surprising that Satan would give his authority to the newly born red dragon and deliberately act in order to cooperate with the Antichrist."

"What if I made a mistake?"

"Then his soul will receive the mercy of our Lord and ascend to heaven."

"You guys are totally unreasonable!"

Everyone believed that Su Fan was the Antichrist, and Theresa was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Especially the last sentence, which can be said to be extremely shameless.

Just at this moment, Su Fan patted her shoulder gently.

"Don't try to prove anything to them. They won't believe it, even if you cut open your chest and take out your heart."

Theresa turned her head away, with nothing but apology in her eyes.

But he saw Su Fan smiling and shaking his head.

"People's minds are the hardest thing to change. When neither side can convince the other, the only way to solve the problem is with fists."

"But at least you don't have to worry about their lives, because I know how to act with moderation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man who had previously defined Su Fan as the Antichrist sneered.

“You finally couldn’t help but reveal your true colors, didn’t you? You’ve been acting for so long to deceive Theresa.”

"You are so boring to keep talking nonsense. Don't you want to exorcise demons for God? Then take action instead of just complaining."

Su Fan took a step forward, put one hand behind his back, and stood up like a pine tree. With his free hand, he waved to the many believers opposite him.

"What do you mean by that? Give us a hand?"

Someone on the other side was angry.

They are numerous and blessed with holy power. Once they seal the power of the demon and make it lose its authority, the latter will be as weak as an ordinary person.

Knowing this and still daring to provoke him, he is simply courting death.

Su Fan did not answer.

Not only did he not intend to use any limbs other than his right hand, he also had no intention of using any magical powers.

The people on the opposite side didn't waste any words, and some of them began to chant.

They have obviously opened their mouths to block the authority of Su Fan, the "Antichrist".

Another group of people raised their hands.

Soon, white light emerged from them and gathered together.

The two groups have very clear division of labor, one group is responsible for control and the other group is responsible for output.

But the first wave of chanters did not see any glorious miracles appear.

This phenomenon confuses believers.

In the past, they had used this method to block the power of countless evil spirits.

Each time, a faint white chain would emerge and bind the enemy.

But now, for some reason, it has no effect on the black-haired young man in front of him. "Wait, something seems to be wrong..."

The woman spoke, but the people on the other side didn't listen at all, because at this moment they had already completed the miracle they had condensed.

This light emits heat that can be felt on the skin. If it falls directly on an evil soul such as a ghost, the damage caused is enough to destroy it directly.

Under the control of the person in the middle, it flew directly towards Su Fan!

But what no one expected was that the ball of light, which was as powerful as a bamboo and carried a strong impact, failed to defeat Su Fan.

The latter did not dodge, but stood in place, drew a mysterious arc with his palm, and actually caught it steadily in his hand.

Not only the white ball of light, but even the leaves on the ground on the side seemed to be flying along with its movements.

The fallen leaves that were scattered due to the aftermath of the battle in the sky now floated up in unison, rotating along with the movements of Su Fan's palms, and even faintly formed the shape of a yin-yang fish.

Su Fan had already mastered all the boxing techniques, and now he was performing Tai Chi again with ease.

Even if you don't use spiritual power, just using Qi to resist the enemy will not be able to break the defense with a mere ball of light.

"Devil's power!"

Someone present exclaimed.

But before he finished his words, he saw the white ball of light flying back towards him and the others!

Many believers turned pale.

They knew best the power of the ball of light. If it bounced back, the explosion would be enough to keep everyone in the hospital for ten days or half a month.

It was too late to dodge; their movements were not fast enough to escape the range of the explosion.

Just as the ball of light was about to fall among the crowd, at the critical moment, a milky white barrier appeared in front of everyone and blocked the attack.

Many believers turned around in surprise and saw that the cardinal who led them in the cross-border exorcism had appeared behind them without them knowing when.

"Bishop Fergus!"

Some people couldn't help but shout excitedly.

There are only seven bishops in the Vatican.

Among them, Bishop Fergus is the most respected. He has served under two generations of popes, and his status remains unchanged.

He once presided over the most important exorcism ceremony in the Middle Ages and even participated in the battle with the Three Virtues for the Spear of Longinus.

With him around, wouldn't it be easy for them to defeat this demon who was pretending to be Christ?
"Please ask Bishop Fergus to help us expel the demon! Seal the demon's impure authority and send it back to hell!"

Seeing the bishop coming, the clergy who had been a little scared suddenly became confident and spoke a little louder.

However, the red-robed bishop did not immediately swing his staff to punish the enemy as they had expected. Instead, he turned around and looked at them with a stern look.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Bear with one another and forgive one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

Above all these, put on love, which is the bond of perfect harmony.”

This passage comes from Colossians, which warns all believers to be kind, gentle, and tolerant to everyone.

Learn the virtues of Jesus to gain the pleasure of God.

“You have presumed to judge and condemn people as antichrists. Don’t you know that only the innocent are qualified to judge others?

First you were arrogant, then because you were not as skilled as others, you committed the sin of rage. Do you have to wait until the devil's eyes are on you before you realize your mistakes?"

Fergus had a kind and gentle face, but his tone was very serious at this time and he scolded everyone.

They looked at each other, and then realized an important truth.

The black-haired young man next to Theresa is not the Antichrist, but a human being identified by the bishop.

In other words, they just tried to attack a strong man who fought against the devil in human form and returned victorious!
After realizing how big a mistake they had made, many believers felt embarrassed and were ready to flee.

Some of those who had a good relationship with Theresa were extremely embarrassed. When they saw the latter turning away in anger, they looked bitter.

After teaching the young man a lesson, Fergus turned and looked at Su Fan.

"Mr. Su Fan, you are not angry with them, right?"

"Will a tiger bother with an insect?"

Su Fan's answer was so light and casual that the clergy who took action felt ashamed.

What the former said was not very hurtful, but it was extremely insulting.

But they had to admit that the other party did not exaggerate the facts.

If the strong ones who can defeat the devil take it seriously, they will all die here.

As for Fergus on the opposite side, he felt relieved when he heard this, but he also understood that the young man might have noticed his arrival a long time ago.

The ball of light was thrown back previously, partly to teach the young people a lesson, and partly to force him to show up.

He is truly someone the Pope has been paying attention to for a long time.

Fergus couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and finally spoke.

"This is a rare opportunity. I actually have something to discuss with you, Mr. Su Fan. I wonder if you would honor me with a chat."

The former is indeed a knowledgeable elder. He also speaks English, but his wording and sentence structure are very elegant, just like an old scholar.

Su Fan looked at the old man for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"So these young people..."

"You can go now."

Su Fan waved his hands, somewhat impatiently.

But the many clergymen on the opposite side seemed to be pardoned, and one or two of them left the same way they came, quickly disappearing into the bushes.

Theresa turned her head to look at Su Fan, then looked at Bishop Fergus, and then walked away reluctantly with a look of regret on her face.

Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Su Fan again.

The former's reaction was seen by both of them.

Strangely, Fergus was not angry at all about the entanglement between the novice nun and the man. Instead, she changed her previous serious expression and smiled.

"What an easy kid, isn't he?"

Theresa grew up in a rural area in Romania and later entered a monastery.

She doesn't understand the subtle relationships between people, and she doesn't know how to hide her thoughts.

Her clumsy disguise always allows people to see through the secrets in her heart at a glance.

"In fact, Theresa could have become a formal nun a long time ago. During the battle with the demon god Malthus, she showed excellent character."

"In order to protect others, he held the hot cross so tightly that he was severely burned."

"But for some reason, the Vatican decided to postpone her becoming a nun."

"After all, becoming a nun means dedicating your whole body and soul to God. You can no longer be someone else's bride."

"I can also see the trouble in her heart."

What the old man said was not ambiguous, it was even explicit.

He looked at Su Fan, his eyes full of inquiry.

"what are you thinking?"
