The bishop felt the power within him rapidly draining away.
This sensation filled him with dread, not only the divine power but also his own strength, all being forcibly absorbed by Lin Xiao!
What is this?
It was the first time the bishop had encountered such a power.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao was also having a difficult time.
This was the most potent aspect of the "Overbearing True Qi" — the Qi Absorption Technique!
A surging torrent of power instantly poured into his dantian! This was a power entirely different from true qi, but once inside his dantian, it became unruly, causing his dantian to ache.
"Let go!"
The bishop roared, unleashing all his might to wrench his hand free from Lin Xiao's grasp. By then, his vitality had diminished by thirty percent.
Terrifying!
He continued to stare at Lin Xiao in horror, unable to comprehend what had just happened. This was indeed sorcery!
"The demon of Long Guo... I knew it, this land is filled with demons, oh Lord..."
Behind him, ethereal wings unfurled. The cross in his hand grew in size. He hurled it forward, and the colossal cross slammed down towards Lin Xiao, instantly binding him with countless energy chains.
He was about to drive nails into Lin Xiao through the cross.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao, feeling the power within his dantian, found that although it wasn't true qi, he could still circulate it in the same manner.
He couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. If he didn't break free now, he would truly be crucified. The power began to flow as he guided it with his own true qi.
His hands transformed into blades, forcefully severing the chains, and he quickly broke free and fled.
The nails grazed past Lin Xiao, who felt a surge of relief, while the bishop experienced immense shame.
It was a humiliation he had never known before.
Under the augmented power of his Lord, he had failed.
This was not only an insult to him but also to the God he believed in!
Lin Xiao had no desire to waste more time with this man. He swiftly sprinted back towards the venue, a white lightning bolt streaking through the pedestrian walkway.
The bishop gave chase at full speed.
Just as he was about to catch Lin Xiao, someone intervened.
"Bishop, I hope you will moderate your actions. This is Long Guo." Zhao Yuanzhao stood between them, the phantom image of a great Buddha flashing briefly. "My Buddha is merciful."
Not only Zhao Yuanzhao, but Dongfang Bai was also present. He glared at the bishop, his fists flexing. At this moment, only violence could resolve violence.
Seeing the two of them, the bishop's fury subsided by half.
These two Long Guo individuals were indeed strong, but with the divine power enhancing him, they should not be his match... However...
Now, it seemed many eyes were focused on them.
"Do not forget, your President is still at the venue," Zhao Yuanzhao's words carried a threat.
"Very well."
The bishop seemed to resign himself. His wings vanished, and he reined in his power.
