<h4>Chapter 288: Holy Maiden Killed Instantly, Fleeing Away</h4>


    “Your Eminence, are you trying to make me die ofughter so that you can inherit my Ant Check Later?”


    Ant Check Later?


    Altacia found that strange. However, from Meng Lei’s tone, she knew that he was not saying nice things. He was probably even mocking her!


    “Foreign deity, you’re too arrogant!”


    Altacia had a frosty look on her delicate face. “Surrender at once and follow me back to the Holy Mountain to stand trial! Or else, don’t hold it against me if I show you no civility!”


    “Your Eminence, many had said simr things to me, but they never ended up well. I think... you’ll be the same.”


    As he spoke, Meng Lei struck down a palm.


    Boom!


    It was another gigantic palm.


    “Unrepentant!”


    Altacia grunted softly as she swung down her sword and sliced the gigantic palm into halves.


    “It’s Your Eminence, after all!”


    “All hail our mighty Holy Maiden!”


    “Your Eminence, let this damned heretic know the consequence of setting himself against the Light Church!”


    “Die! Demon!”


    The Light Church men cheered as it looked to them that the Holy Maiden had negated Meng Lei’s attack with only a swing of her sword. Naturally, she had the upper hand!


    However, the Holy Maiden of Light did not think so—the gigantic palm was neither a physical attack nor a divinity attack, yet its power was of a true god’s level.


    Plus, Meng Lei attacked casually just now—that was too scary!


    In the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Light, Meng Lei was like a ck hole that she could not see through at all. From this, she did not dare to underestimate Meng Lei.


    Since when did such an expert pop out in Heaven’s Vault Continent? the Holy Maiden of Light thought as she tried to guess Meng Lei’s identity.


    “Your Eminence, yourbat prowess is still eptable. So as long as you can take my next attack, I’ll let you off,” Meng Lei said leisurely.


    He slowly extended his glistening jade-like palm. ck condensed mes appeared on his palm as it transformed into a ck spear.


    “Go!” Meng Lei shouted with a swoosh of his sleeve. The ck spear then turned into a bolt of ck lightning and shot toward the Holy Maiden.


    “ck mes? It’s the Netherworld Divine Fire!”


    The Holy Maiden’s expression changed drastically.


    She would never have expected that Meng Lei could actually use the Netherworld Divine Fire. Those were mes exclusive to the Divine Netherworld Phoenix!


    Facing the Netherworld Divine Fire, the Holy Maiden of Light did not dare let her guard down. She quickly activated her power of divinity, injected it into her sword, and swung it in the air.


    “Holy Light Judgment!”


    The dazzling aura formed a 40-meter long de, like a rainbow across the sky, slicing open a pitch-ck crevice in the air in an instant.


    “Such a scary Holy Light Judgment!”


    At the sight of this sword, Archbishop Chicas and the Knights eximed.


    As people from the Church, almost all of them had learned this ability, but they could never use it to such a terrifying level as Her Eminence.


    ng!


    The ck spear shed with the golden de as if two hammers rammed onto each other, setting off bright sparks. Then a shocking scene urred—the sharp golden de sted into pieces, turning into countless golden glow shooting outward in all directions!


    The Holy Maiden Knights were implicated as golden beams of light went through their brains and shot through their chests overwhelmingly, turning them into swiss cheese.


    A golden beam shot even Archbishop Chicas’s head. He became thergest fish of the lot to be implicated.


    “How?”


    Archbishop Chicas’ expression was full of disbelief. He was the Red-Cloaked Archbishop of the Light Church, and his status was only below the Pope and the Holy Maiden of Light—one of the highest standing in the Light Continent.


    Yet, he was about to die. With both divine incarnations dead, he was thoroughly dead!


    Thud!


    Thud!


    Thud!


    Archbishop Chicas fell facing the ground. The unlucky ones among the Holy Maiden Knights also dropped on the ground motionless.


    For a while, the initially intimidating and mighty men of the Light Church suffered heavy casualties, as over a third of the troops were lost.


    The Holy Maiden of Light could not spare any concern for these people because that ck spear was undamaged and shot toward her nevertheless!


    By now, it was toote to dodge it. In this situation, the Holy Maiden of Light rushed to use her power of divinity to cast a divine power shield.


    Whoosh!


    Just at the moment when the shield was up, the ck spear struck the shield. A crisp snap rang out, and the divine power shield was prated as if it was made of paper.


    Splurt!


    The ck spear pierced right through the Holy Maiden’s neck and continued its trajectory.


    “Wah!!”


    The Holy Maiden’s face turned pale instantly as blood shot out of her throat like a fountain uncontrobly.


    “You... are not a true god. You’re a less... lesser de... deity!” the Holy Maiden of Light stared at Meng Lei and uttered slowly before her head drooped and her body fell straight backward.


    “Your Eminence!!”


    The remaining knights were terribly aghast. Some threw themselves toward the Holy Maiden of Light, while the others went for Meng Lei, their eyes bloodshot.


    “You damned heretic! How dare you to hurt Her Eminence!”


    “Death upon anyone who harms Her Eminence!”


    “Kill!”


    These knights lost no time to initiate their attacks.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Torrents of attacks fell upon.


    “Annoying!”


    Meng Lei frowned slightly and waved his arms. Then, densely packed golden wind des swept toward the Holy Maiden Knights.


    “Ahhh!”


    Screams rang out everywhere.


    As the wind des swept by, almost all these knights were killed, with only a few lucky survivors barely standing.


    Although they were alive, each of them was extremely petrified, as if they were looking at an extremely vicious demon.


    “Devil! You’re a devil!”


    The knights screamed in horror.


    “Go back and tell your Pope, I’m giving him three days to prepare for our meeting, be it recruiting experts or calling in reinforcements! Three dayster, I’ll arrive at the Holy Mountain of Light. I hope he doesn’t disappoint me! Now scram!” Meng Lei waved them off.


    Although the remaining half-deities and knights could not bear to ept this result, they could only stay away from the dominant Meng Lei.


    “Let’s go.”


    Everyone from the Light Church fled within ten seconds, bringing every dead body with them, including the Holy Maiden of Light.


    Suddenly, only Ol’ Amos and Meng Lei were left hovering in the sky.


    Ol’ Amos had aplicated look on his face. “The Holy Maiden of Light was a pinnacle-level true god! You can even kill a pinnacle true god instantly! Meng Lei, how powerful are you exactly?”


    Meng Leiughed and said, “Ol’ Amos, to be honest with you, in this existential ne, no one can defeat me.”


    “So this means that... you’re a lesser deity!?” Ol’ Amos asked in disbelief.
