Nightmare Light

Chapter 183 The Centenarian Woman

Despite their antics, neither the white cat nor Shi Xionglue neglected their serious business.

Soon, a second glowing bone spear materialized in Shi Xionglue's hand.

Shi Xiong let out a low growl, and his muscles bulged up again.

He strode forward, turned sideways, and threw the second bone spear with all his might.

The bone spear whistled through the air, bursting with blinding light, and flew towards Huang Quan Gong's face with a roar.

"Lin Wang! Get out of the way!"

Upon hearing Shi Xionglue's voice, Lin Wang dodged the attack by turning to the side.

The bone spear flew towards Huang Quan Gong's face.

The attack came too fast, and Huang Quan Gong's head was too big. When the bone spear was close to his face, he found that he had no way to avoid it.

Huang Quan Gong roared and raised his hand to block in front of his face.

But at that very moment, Lin Wang moved not far away.

The white fire giant raised his hand to form a hand seal, pointing to a coffin-carrying skeleton not far away.

The coffin bearer had lost an arm in the previous battle.

After receiving Lin Wang's instructions, he lifted the coffin and rushed towards Huang Quan Gong, tightly hugging Huang Quan Gong's arm with his other arm!
Although Huang Quan Gong was powerful enough to easily tear apart the coffin, he was still very strong.

But because it happened so suddenly, His arm was blocked for a moment!

In an instant, Shi Xionglue's bone spear flew towards Huang Quangong's face without any hindrance!

A hint of shock and anger could even be seen in Huang Quan Gong's hollow eyes.

boom!
Just as the bone spear was about to strike the top of Huang Quan Gong's head, a divine technique struck first, colliding with the bone spear and exploding with a loud bang less than a meter from Huang Quan Gong's forehead.

Everyone was surprised and turned their heads sharply.

But not far away, they saw Vice-Bishop Zhao glowing, holding her scepter high, maintaining the posture of casting a divine spell—clearly, the divine spell just now was cast by her.

“This monster is the key to ensuring you can repay your mother’s debts!” Vice-Bishop Zhao shouted. “We cannot allow you to kill it!”

At this moment, Huang Quan Gong summoned a bone paddle and struck Lin Wang, sending him flying backward.

The cat girl let out a shriek and rushed towards Lin Wang's direction.

"Cook! I'm going to help Lin Wang! You're in charge of this crazy woman!"

"It's the cook again..." Shi Xiong shook his head slightly, gripped his sword tightly, and lunged at Vice-Bishop Zhao.

In Shi Xionglue's heart, he had no resistance to this mission, nor did he think it was difficult—he had already witnessed Vice Bishop Zhao's strength.

At best, she's on par with a venerable lay master. Among normal temple bishops, her strength might be decent, but compared to him, the century-old chef... I misspoke, the warband leader of the Shadow Godslayer Order, her strength is far inferior.

Shi Xiong slightly shook the cleaver, and the divine light on the blade flickered once more.

"This crazy woman has ruined things time and time again... we might as well just kill her."

Shi Xiong muttered to himself—although he was unwilling to kill a subordinate who was a mother, this madwoman was truly outrageously insane.

Moreover, having experienced the battle a century ago, his hands were already stained with the blood of his comrades, so he didn't have any obsession with purity.

He was just a crazy priest; killing him was fine.

With that thought in mind, he raised the knife high in his hand toward Vice-Bishop Zhao.

When he was still four or five meters away from Vice-Bishop Zhao, he slashed down with his sword.

The blade, gleaming with divine magic, cleaved the earth in two with a piercing whistle, kicking up dust and bone fragments, before striking solidly towards Vice-Bishop Zhao.

Then, Shi Xionglue saw that Vice-Bishop Zhao neither dodged nor flinched, but instead looked at him with a strange smile. Shi Xionglue's pupils contracted slightly, and he realized something was wrong.

The next second, the beam of light struck Vice-Bishop Zhao.

The moment the blade struck Vice-Bishop Zhao, he deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing to the ground, clothes and all, sprawled out.

At the same time, a much older woman's voice sighed from behind Shi Xionglue.

"Sigh... Do you know how cruel it is for a woman to see herself old and ugly again..."

This shock to Shi Xionglue was truly extraordinary.

To be able to easily dodge his sure-fire attack and move silently behind him—there are probably very few people in the world who can do that.

Now, this woman actually...?

He was shocked, but he kept walking.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking several steps forward to widen the distance between himself and the people behind him.

At the same time, he formed hand seals and instantly summoned four or five divine shields around his body to protect himself.

At this moment, Shi Xiong saw more clearly—standing behind him was a withered and thin old woman.

Judging from her appearance, she was at least seventy or eighty years old, with deep wrinkles on her face and a head of silver hair cascading down her face.

She wore a dirty old robe, holding a bishop's scepter in one hand, and with the other hand, she held it up in front of her like a stunningly beautiful woman admiring her own hand, turning it over and over to look at it.

"I haven't seen myself like this in a hundred years..."

The old woman sighed.

Her voice sounded as if it were coming from a decades-old rusty bellows.

This woman is so strange!

Shi Xiong was on guard. Without thinking too much, he raised the kitchen knife high, concentrated all his divine power into the blade, and slashed heavily at the old woman!
boom!
The old woman was standing in a crater seven or eight meters deep, but there was no sign of Vice-Bishop Zhao in the crater.
Shi Xiong gripped the knife tightly, stood at the edge of the pit, and looked around, searching for the old woman.

The next second, the chilling voice appeared behind him again.

“Extravagant…too extravagant.” The old woman sighed. “Your talent is excellent, and your power ceiling is also very high…Even in a place like the temple, where there are so many talented people, I’m afraid only a few holy sons and daughters can surpass you in this aspect.”

"But your talent is so great that you never know how to conserve your energy... so your fighting style is always all-out, extravagant and wasteful."

Shi Xiong remained silent, then turned and slashed at the old woman's head with his sword.

The next second, something that shocked him to the extreme happened.

His earth-shattering strike landed not far from the old woman's head.

Deputy Bishop Zhao casually raised his scepter and used the tip of the wooden staff to stop it!

"Wha...what!"

Shi Xiong's eyes widened slightly.

When he tried to withdraw his sword, he found that it was being held by a strange force emanating from the scepter.

"Have you ever thought about this... these are all treasures left to you by your mother, why are you wasting them?"

The old woman said in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about how powerful these forces would be if they weren't wasted and were stored up little by little?"

She lightly raised one hand and pressed it against Shi Xionglue's chest with her old, wrinkled hand.

"Come, have a taste. This is the strength that an old woman has accumulated over a hundred years."

boom!
