The Pope's expedition sent shockwaves throughout the entire Western world. In their eyes, the Pope was the supreme deity.
Moreover, the Pope had not personally acted in decades, and many forces hid in the shadows, trembling with curiosity.
Who could possibly provoke the Pope to personally take action?
As for the Hell organization, when the Lord of Hell informed Yun Fan about the Pope's personal involvement,
Yun Fan's heart remained largely unfazed, for he knew the Pope would eventually act. So many powerful figures had been defeated.
If the Pope still didn't act, he would have questioned the Pope's intelligence.
At the same time, Lin Shufen and Allie, along with the Hell organization's personnel, began their evacuation, which was Yun Fan's decision.
After all, when experts of this caliber acted, they were no ordinary individuals, and accidents could happen at any moment. Their departure was the safest choice.
At this moment, the Lord of Hell said to Yun Fan, "Yun Fan, this time the Pope personally taking action is a life-or-death test for both of us. If you truly cannot defeat him, I hope you can escape. Only if you live can you provide a home for Allie!"
Yun Fan nodded, "Alright! But you don't need to worry too much. After all, we are not fighting alone!"
The Lord of Hell was speechless because, at this moment, no reinforcements had arrived. He even suspected if they had been abandoned by Dai Qisi.
Only Yun Fan knew that Dai Qisi would not abandon them.
Just then, countless powerful auras approached. The strongest among them made even Yun Fan slightly frown.
Indeed, in the next moment, the Pope appeared, followed by a large group of his subordinates.
Seeing that the Hell organization was empty, with only two people remaining, the Pope said disdainfully, "Kid, to be able to provoke me, the Pope, to act personally is the peak moment of your life. However, you will soon die by my hand!"
Yun Fan listened and calmly replied, "You are not worthy!"
Despite his words, Yun Fan sensed that the Pope's strength was formidable, not inferior to that of Alliance Leader Zuo.
The Pope said coldly, "You are young, but your arrogance is not small!"
Then, he turned to the Lord of Hell and said, "And you, weren't you content being a dog? Why must you oppose me, the Pope!"
Hearing this, the Lord of Hell felt insulted, but he also thought it was true. After all, for so many years, hadn't he been a dog to the Pope?
Whomever the Pope ordered him to kill, he could only kill, without even the courage to resist.
He said to the Pope, "Even as your dog, didn't you still scheme against me?"
Back then, after being schemed against by the Pope, he could only endure until now.
"That's right! When a dog is disobedient, its master must teach it a good lesson!"
The Pope asked disdainfully, "I'm very curious, who gave this dog of mine such great courage?"
"Who it is no longer important. What matters is that I no longer want to be a dog, even if it means death!"
The Lord of Hell said coldly.
The Pope laughed heartily, "Then I regret to inform you that in this life, you are destined to be a dog, and you will have no chance to resist even if you wish to!"
At this moment, Yun Fan spoke, "Pope, you are the top existence in the West. Do you only know how to exchange taunts?"
"Kid, are you in such a hurry to die?"
The Pope asked playfully.
"You're mistaken. It is I who am eager to kill you!"
Yun Fan stated directly.
"Oh?"
The Pope's eyes turned cold, "No one dares to challenge the Pope's authority, including you!"
With that, he directly attacked Yun Fan, intending to end the battle within a few moves to display his supreme authority as the Pope.
He also wished to show the world that no matter how strong you are, daring to oppose him would only lead to annihilation.
Yun Fan rapidly engaged, and a world-shattering battle ensued between him and the Pope.
"Go!"
The remaining individuals were not idle either and directly attacked the Lord of Hell. However, the individuals present this time did not include any elder-level existences.
Otherwise, the Lord of Hell would be in grave danger.
"Boom!"
The Pope unleashed a confident strike.
After the exchange, Yun Fan retreated several steps. The Pope was shocked because Yun Fan had merely been forced back and was unharmed.
He hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so strong. He had thought Yun Fan's strength was only slightly above the elder level. Sudan Novel Network
He had underestimated Yun Fan.
"You are strong, but unfortunately, you have met me. Your path ends here!"
The Pope charged forward again. Compared to the probing attack earlier, this time he had raised his strength to its peak.
He intended to instantly kill Yun Fan with his peak power.
However, in the next moment, Yun Fan directly entered a berserk state, which was the combat characteristic of a werewolf.
In this state, Yun Fan's strength also reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, on par with the Pope.
"How is this possible?"
The Pope was immensely shocked. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to be able to contend with him. But he quickly discovered the trick.
He could see that Yun Fan had used a forbidden technique. Although, in his opinion, forbidden techniques were difficult to sustain for long.
It still genuinely shocked him that Yun Fan, after using a forbidden technique, could match him.
No wonder those elders were killed by Yun Fan previously. Looking at it now, Yun Fan truly possessed that strength.
"Using a forbidden technique so early, your death is imminent!"
The Pope sneered.
Even Yun Fan, after using a forbidden technique, could only contend with him. What he needed to do now was wait. Once Yun Fan's forbidden technique wore off, he could kill Yun Fan effortlessly.
"Slash!"
Yun Fan ignored him and unleashed a powerful slash.
The Pope chose to meet this force head-on.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion occurred at the impact site. After the explosion, the Pope felt a surge of energy, and his arm went numb.
It seemed he had ultimately underestimated Yun Fan's power.
Subsequently, he did not choose to engage in direct confrontation, as Yun Fan in this state seemed to possess even greater physical strength than him.
"Light Confinement!"
The Pope shouted, and a white light enveloped Yun Fan, within which Yun Fan seemed to be immobilized.
Seeing this, the Pope realized an opportunity and unhesitatingly charged at Yun Fan.
"Break!"
Just as he reached Yun Fan, Yun Fan shattered the confinement of light with a punch.
The Pope struck Yun Fan with his palm, and Yun Fan also quickly landed a punch on the Pope's body.
This was the first time both of them were injured since their battle began; of course, it was simultaneous injury.
The Pope finally recognized Yun Fan's terrifying nature and ceased direct confrontations. After all, that punch was enough to give him a headache.
Following this, the Pope and Yun Fan engaged in a fierce battle of attrition.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
"What's going on?"
The Pope was somewhat bewildered. Logically, after half an hour, even if Yun Fan had used a forbidden technique, he should have been significantly weakened twice over.
Yet, Yun Fan not only showed no signs of weakness but his fighting spirit grew stronger.
This was simply impossible.
At this point, seeing that the Pope had ceased attacking, Yun Fan withdrew his berserk state, returning to his previous condition.
"Werewolf Attributes!"
The Pope, having discerned the truth, was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "You actually managed to break through the werewolf combat attributes! How did you do it?"
Greed flickered in his eyes. This was an attribute he had dreamed of for decades!
He had tried to decipher it for decades without success, and now Yun Fan had easily mastered it.
Yun Fan replied, "It's very simple! But I won't tell you!"
"You..."
The Pope was rendered speechless and then said to Yun Fan, "It's fine if you don't tell me. Once I defeat you, I'll find ways to make you tell me!"
He was very confident. Originally, he had intended to kill Yun Fan directly, but now, Yun Fan's value exceeded his expectations.
Therefore, he decided to capture Yun Fan alive.
However, in his current state, he could at most fight Yun Fan to a standstill. Defeating Yun Fan was impossible.
So, he mentally resolved to activate his forbidden technique.
Just then, two figures arrived.
The Temple warriors who were still fighting the Lord of Hell suffered heavy casualties before they could even react.
In the next moment, Dai Qisi arrived.
Of course, accompanying her was a Western man dressed in a noble suit, exceptionally handsome and exuding an air of nobility. It was evident he was from royalty.
Otherwise, he wouldn't possess such an aura.
"Little Junior Brother!"
Seeing that Yun Fan was unharmed, Dai Qisi rushed over excitedly and said to Yun Fan with concern, "Little Junior Brother, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Worry was evident on her face, but more so was self-reproach. She had thought her speed would be enough to arrive before the Pope and Yun Fan clashed, but judging by the battle scars on the scene, Yun Fan and the Pope must have already engaged in a cataclysmic battle.
Thankfully, Yun Fan was unharmed; otherwise, she wouldn't want to live either.
Yun Fan said, "It's alright, Fourth Senior Sister. I can still manage!"
Upon witnessing the intimate gesture between the two, the man in the suit's face displayed a flash of murderous intent.
However, he quickly concealed it.
"Dai Qisi, you have indeed reached this point!"
The Pope said angrily. He had known for a long time that Dai Qisi would betray him, so he had planned to deal with Dai Qisi after defeating Yun Fan.
He hadn't expected Dai Qisi to act so quickly.
Dai Qisi replied, "Your Holiness the Pope, if I don't take this step, then I will be the one to suffer misfortune, won't I?"
"Hmph!"
The Pope snorted, "Since ancient times, all who have betrayed the Temple have met a tragic end, and you are no exception!"
Dai Qisi calmly responded, "Your Holiness the Pope, it seems you have not grasped the situation clearly. I am not betraying the Temple. My conflict with you is merely an internal struggle. I simply wish to reclaim the position that rightfully belongs to me, it's that simple!"
"The position that belongs to you?"
The Pope sneered, "What I give you is yours. If I don't give it, you have no right to seize it!"
"Is that so?"
Dai Qisi replied, "Then I shall seize it! My destiny is not for you to control. My destiny belongs to Little Junior Brother!"
Dai Qisi cast an adoring gaze at Yun Fan, but a moment later, she was tormented by a love-luring poison.
At this moment, the Pope glanced at the man in the suit and said, "Your Blood Clan also wants to join the fray? Aren't you afraid that after I deal with them, I'll exterminate your Blood Clan?"
"Blood Clan?"
Yun Fan looked at the man in the suit. No wonder he was so handsome; he was from the Blood Clan.
The man in the suit said, "Your Holiness the Pope, I am representing myself today, not the Blood Clan. This has nothing to do with the Blood Clan."
"Kate, don't explain to him. Today, he is destined to die!"
Dai Qisi said to the man in the suit.
"Viscount Kate!"
The Lord of Hell's eyes were filled with shock. Indeed, Kate's origins were extraordinary.
One must know that Viscounts were second only to the Blood Queen within the Blood Clan.
However, after the war with the Werewolf clan years ago, the Blood Queen was severely wounded, and no one knew if she had died.
Therefore, counting from that point, Viscount Kate was one of the most powerful beings in the Blood Clan. It turned out he was Dai Qisi's helper.
Yun Fan also noticed Kate's strength, which was not weak and could certainly match his Fourth Senior Sister. What puzzled him, however, was why Kate's gaze towards him was somewhat unfriendly.
He didn't recall offending Kate.
"With just the three of you, you think you can fight me? You're overestimating yourselves!"
The Pope said disdainfully.
Among the three, the one he feared most was Yun Fan. As for Dai Qisi and Kate, he didn't take them seriously.
"Just the three of us are enough to deal with you!"
Dai Qisi took a step forward, preparing to attack.
"Very well, today, I, Pope Ben Neng, will show you that before me, you are not even as significant as ants!"
Instantly, the Pope attacked, not targeting Yun Fan, but rather Dai Qisi.
Seeing this, Kate immediately revealed his fangs and lunged at the Pope.
"Bang!"
The Pope repelled Kate with a single move. Simultaneously, Dai Qisi was also sent flying far away by his palm.
"Do you consider me nonexistent? Daring to strike my Fourth Senior Sister!"
Yun Fan was enraged and charged directly at the Pope.
The Pope found Yun Fan, this powerful opponent, very troublesome. It could be said that without resorting to forbidden techniques, he would definitely not be able to kill Yun Fan.
"You are forcing me!"
In the next moment, the Pope directly activated his forbidden technique. As the forbidden technique was unleashed, the three felt an suffocating pressure.
Yun Fan had encountered this level of pressure before, just like the former Alliance Leader Zuo.
"Blood Curse!"
Seeing this, Kate did not hesitate and activated the forbidden technique of the Blood Clan. As the Blood Clan's forbidden technique was unleashed,
The Pope was enveloped by a large expanse of blood mist, surrounded by numerous dark bats. At this moment, Kate was also at his peak.
Then, the blood mist began to devour the Pope.
As Kate smugly said to Dai Qisi, "Under my Blood Curse, the Pope will soon be completely consumed by my pets!"
However, in Yun Fan's view, this was impossible.
Indeed, in the next moment, the powerful Pope directly tore through Kate's blood mist.
"Holy Light Descends!"
A white light shot from the Pope's hand and accurately struck Kate.
"Ah!"
Kate let out a scream. One of his fangs was broken, and a large hole was pierced through his body.
"Puff!"
In a single move, Kate not only suffered a severe injury but also spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Dai Qisi also activated her forbidden technique. She shared the same lineage as the Pope, so her forbidden technique was similar to the Pope's.
However, it was far less powerful than the Pope's.
The Pope sneered, "In my eyes, you are also nothing more than an ant!"
Instantly, two beams of holy light collided, and Dai Qisi's holy light was easily shattered by the Pope's.
Then, a powerful force surged towards them.
"Not good!"
Dai Qisi's expression changed. If she were hit, her fate would be even worse than Kate's.
At this critical juncture, Yun Fan swiftly attacked, positioning himself in front of Dai Qisi.
"Bang!"
After a collision, Yun Fan, in his berserk state, directly neutralized the Pope's holy light.
"So strong!"
Dai Qisi froze in place. When did her Little Junior Brother become so powerful?
Yun Fan's strength brought a glimmer of hope to her despair.
At this moment, the Pope said to Yun Fan, "Neither of them is worthy of being my opponent. Only you have the qualification to fight me!"
"What?"
Kate and Dai Qisi both felt insulted. Especially Kate, who didn't understand what was special about Yun Fan that earned such high praise from the Pope.
Yun Fan said, "That's not necessarily true. Three heads are better than one. The three of us are enough to defeat you!"
"Overestimating yourself!"
The Pope sneered. In the next moment, his entire body was enveloped in holy light, and immense power erupted from within him.
It possessed a world-destroying aura. All three changed their expressions. Was this the Pope's true strength? In Yun Fan's opinion, perhaps this wasn't even the Pope's ultimate power, which was truly despairing.
