I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 173. Beyond the Astral Plane
Noticing the unusual movement, Jiang Li looked up in confusion, then paused in surprise.

Xia Feng? Why is he here? Jiang Li was puzzled. He had planned to wait for the goddess's projection to descend before going to find Xia Feng, but he didn't expect the Holy Son of Eternal Day to come by himself.
"That's good, it saves me from having to put in any more effort," Jiang Li thought with a slight delight, and lowered his head to speed up the ceremony.

"Xia Feng."

Archbishop Auschwitz stood atop a tall pillar, his wrinkled, aged eyes narrowed as he looked down at the man below.

He had been on guard against the sudden arrival of the Peach Organization, but he never expected that it would be Xia Feng, such a young upstart, who would come instead.

However, the way this kid appeared just now was very strange. He could hardly sense any spiritual pressure fluctuations. Only a spiritual artifact could do that, especially a high-level spiritual artifact.

So, is there someone else hiding in the shadows?
Thinking of this, Archbishop Os vaguely guessed that the Peach Organization might have actually arrived? But perhaps the people they sent were not strong, and out of fear, they hid in the shadows and did not make a move.

He looked down at him, his aged voice low and calm: "Why hide? Xia Feng, let the people behind you come out."

"The person behind me? What person behind me?" Xia Feng smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, I have no help. I have come alone this time, solely to take Your Excellency's head!"

As he spoke, he beckoned to the old man standing atop the pillar, "Come on, old man, if you're a man, come down and fight me."

Since we've suffered a setback at the start, all we can do is fight. As long as we encounter the Archbishop during the battle, we'll have succeeded!
The old man looked down at Xia Feng, who had provoked him, his peaceful eyes narrowing slightly. In the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot, and at the same time, a humanoid lightning bolt flashed behind Xia Feng.

In the archbishop's view, Xia Feng's dodging movements resembled a tortoise crawling. He stretched out his thunder palm and struck Xia Feng's back directly, but instead of touching his body, he unleashed a lightning serpent that swallowed Xia Feng whole. His body instantly turned charred, carbonized, and vanished into ashes amidst crackling and popping electrical sounds.

After easily killing Xia Feng, the archbishop slowly raised his head, shook his head indifferently, and thought that the Peach Organization was nothing special after all, and had not even sent out a worthy opponent.

It's probably due to a shortage of manpower. According to the information we have so far, there are only four members of the Peach Organization: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs. It seems like they were chosen from playing cards.

Since there are only four suits in a deck of cards, the core members of this organization might only be four people in total?
As he pondered this, Archbishop Auster stood there for a moment, but no one suddenly appeared again.

He shook his head inwardly with disdain, realizing he had overestimated the Peach Organization.

This organization has repeatedly thwarted my plans, clearly trying to sabotage me. But this time, it's unusually slow to cause trouble, which likely means they're powerless to stop me and have given up on the idea of ​​causing trouble.

However, even so, we still cannot let our guard down.

He will only be truly safe when the projection of the Eternal Day Goddess descends. At that time, even if the core members of the Peach Organization arrive, they will be helpless.

"Jiang Li, how much longer?" the archbishop asked again.

"Almost there, almost there! I can already feel the boundless divine grace of the Eternal Day Goddess!" Jiang Li had already removed his golden-eyed mask, revealing a pale face. His eyes were filled with worship and awe, but his tone was manic.

He grinned and dipped his fingers in blood as he frantically carved intricate patterns in the center of the formation.

Xia Feng, who had entered a state of Nirvana, hid in the shadows and observed the formation with suspicion. He had heard Cha Nai Xue mention this thing before, called something like "Star Shadow Ritual", a formation that could summon the star god he worshipped to descend.

The array's core was made of star-shaped glass, from which starlight continuously emanated, scattering towards the sky. When the masked man mentioned the name "Eternal Day," Xia Feng frowned. He remembered the name "Eternal Day," but according to his textbooks, the Star Goddess of Eternal Day should have already perished.
What is the relationship between the Goddess of Eternal Day and the Star God of Eternal Day?
Hmm, never mind, now's not the time to think about these things. Xia Feng shook his head. So, the archbishop wants to summon the Goddess of Eternal Day to protect him during the sacrificial phase?
if it is like this.
Should I stop this ceremony from being completed? Xia Feng hesitated for 0.1 seconds before deciding not to stop it.

Let's take a gamble; a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle. Since we've decided to use the Black Crow Feather to drag the Archbishop into the Evil Dragon Space, to maximize our profits, dragging in another god would obviously be even more worthwhile!
After all, this is the last Black Crow Feather left, and once it's used up, there won't be any more. Using it only to deal with the Archbishop would indeed be a huge loss.

Last time when we used Black Crow Feather, we dragged in Anubis, the Eight-Eyed Nightmare God. This time, we should at least drag in a Star God to whet the appetite of Miss Evil Dragon.

The Eternal Day Goddess—that name sounds delicious; Miss Evil Dragon would surely love it.

Boom! !
Outside, the battle at the training grounds has entered a fierce stage.

"Damn it, there really is a Venerable One here. Can't we just let this old man have a crushing victory?" The unshaven man carried Wei Shutong through the thunderous explosions, cursing as he walked, until he stood side by side with Xuanwu, the Director, in the distant sky.

A giant tortoise shell floats above the head of the Xuanwu Bureau Chief, blocking all external attacks.

On the other side of the clouds, a viper's blood-red mask sat askew on its head, its vertical pupils gleaming eerily.

Beside the viper floated a golden figure, its entire body constructed of gold, also wearing a blood-eyed mask, exuding a terrifying aura of a venerable being.

“Lord Bailong.” The golden man’s voice was like a resounding bell, majestic and deep, “We have no intention of being enemies with the Yinlong Legion. Why don’t we each take a step back? You can take Uncle Wei away, and I will pretend that you and Xuanwu were never here.”

Although the White Dragon Walker had only recently entered the Venerable realm, he was still quite troublesome. The Golden Man didn't want to cause any more trouble; getting these two out of here was the most important thing.

Bai Long clicked his tongue. The suggestion was indeed good. They had only come here to rescue Wei Shutong. As for killing the archbishop or exposing the garden, they dared not think about it for the time being.

But the White Dragon Walker was still unhappy; this feeling of powerlessness made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed fly excrement.

Boom! ! !

But at that moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and amidst the rising wind and swirling clouds, a bolt of purple lightning streaked across the sky, causing everyone to focus their gazes and look up.

Swah——

In the castle hall, Jiang Li flashed out of the core of the formation.

All the priests in their robes knelt on the ground with their hands clasped in prayer. They trembled all over as their bodies instantly disintegrated into blood-red spiritual light under the terrifying pull of the golden light array, converging along the winding patterns of the array towards the central glass flower.

As if nourished, the star-shaped glass grew rapidly at a visible speed, its petals fully blooming and radiating magnificent starlight.

The scattered fragments of light drifted and rose into the sky, like a galaxy connecting the earth to the heavens and reaching the unknown star realm beyond the clouds.
