I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 684. Red Moon
What was once a magnificent church building is now in ruins.

The four apostles hung suspended in the sky, waiting for a long time.
But they never saw the safe house beneath the ruins collapse, nor did they see any sign of Angie the Holy Shepherd.

"He's so slow even dealing with four little bugs. Is this old guy past his prime?" Leng Xiu wondered.

However, in the next instant, the three layers of seals outside the safe house suddenly collapsed.

"He's out." Leng Xiu's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.

One man and five women, six figures emerged from the shattered light and hovered above the safe house.

"?" Upon seeing this, the Burning Angel disciples were all stunned and realized that something was wrong.

"I have changed my mind." Under the gray hood, Angie Saint Shepherd raised his sinister face and said in a calm voice, "I will protect all four of them."

Burning City's gaze suddenly turned icy, a murderous intent lurking beneath the surface. The sound that shook the space and caused a jolt to everyone present: "Anji, what do you mean by this?"

"You're not going to break the contract, are you!"

As the words "Burning the City" were spoken, the black light barrier surrounding the ruins shone brightly, with countless ancient runes flowing and connecting, condensing into more and more violent black-purple lightning.

[Legendary A-Rank Spirit Robe - Decree of Destruction]

Leng Xiu raised his right hand, and a scepter formed from black and purple lightning appeared in his palm. He smiled mockingly, and the scepter pointed at the crowd below.

While Angie the Holy Shepherd was making trouble in the safe house, they were naturally not idle either, and had long been prepared for the old man to break the contract.

Outside the safe house, there was not only the Destruction Law, an attack formation with extremely destructive power, but also seven trap-like spirit garments with different effects, all of which were quickly constructed by Holy Priest Angie during the resurrection of Hathaway.

Although the Heroic Spirit Hathaway summoned by Angie was very powerful, the six people below were already in the center of the trap. If they moved even slightly, everyone except Hathaway would die without a burial place.

If that old bastard Anji wants to get something for nothing and refuses to give him the Sumeru King's Decree, then he'll just have to die.

"Are all the people of the Burning Heaven as impatient as you?"

The gray-robed old man shook his head and said slowly and calmly, "The Sumeru King's Decree will still be given to you, but after much consideration, I have decided to save these four people. This condition shouldn't be too difficult for you, Burning Heaven, to accept, right?"

As she spoke, a token floated up in Hathaway's hand; it was none other than the Sumeru King's Token.

“If you agree, this divine object can be given to you now,” Angie said.

"Impossible!" Leng Xiu's expression turned grim. "The other three are fine, but that woman surnamed Cha must be mine!"

"Heh heh~ So there's nothing to talk about then?" The gray-robed old man raised his chilling, turbid eyes, a murderous intent rising in them. Although he had lost all his cultivation, his bone-chilling aura remained undiminished.

"Heh~" Leng Xiu's gaze also turned cold, and he twisted his neck. "Old man, your spirit foundation has been sacrificed, and you still dare to be arrogant with your old man?"

“Okay.” But in that moment of frozen silence, Fencheng suddenly nodded in agreement.

"??!" Leng Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he abruptly turned his head.

Fen Cheng glanced at him with a cold and indifferent gaze, and Leng Xiu swallowed back the words he was about to ask.

He took a deep breath and bowed his head in compromise.

"Catch it!" The gray-robed old man gave the Burning Angel disciples no chance to hesitate. With his sinister voice, Hathaway, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned around and threw the token in her hand forcefully toward the setting sun in the west!
"Bang—Bang—!" The token was imbued with terrifying spatial power. With each bang, it tore through space, teleported hundreds of miles in an instant, and caused the heavens and earth to hum before disappearing without a trace.

"!!!!" The four apostles paused, with Burning City being the first to act, disappearing on the spot.

The remaining three apostles did not leave, but remained in place, concentrating on maintaining the barrier. However, without the support of the Saint Realm expert, Burning City, they could not stop Hathaway at all. The barrier collapsed directly, and Ji Ying and Leng Xiu also sensed the terrifying killing intent emanating from Hathaway, their scalps tingling.

Fortunately, at this moment, a voice transmission from Burning City came through his mind: "It is indeed the order of King Sumeru, retreat."

The three apostles transformed into streams of light, shadows, and blood bats, vanishing from the spot, leaving only Leng Xiu's chilling chuckle echoing above the ruins: "That sow of the Black Moon, don't worry, you can't escape."

The apostles all left, but the six people on the ruins did not immediately leave the place.

Although Anji was skilled in forgery, he could only create virtual tokens that looked good from a distance. Once the virtual tokens were touched, they would be found to be fake, and he could no longer fool Fencheng.

Moreover, Anji has already lost all his cultivation.

Therefore, the token that was just thrown out was indeed the true Sumeru King Token, from Xia Feng.

Only in this way can these burning angels be lured away.

"It's almost time."

Jiang Qiu'e, dressed in a green dress, stood with her hands behind her back at the top of the ruins, gazing into the west.

As she finished speaking, an ancient token appeared out of thin air above the safe house and was caught by Xia Feng.

This is Jiang Qiu'e's [Authority·Immortal Words], which imbues the Sumeru Token with the immortal word that it will return to its original location after 30 seconds. No matter where the token is, it will return to its original location after 30 seconds.

Thirty seconds is also the limit of her current ability; it can only be used on non-living things. Xia Feng had roughly figured out the limit of her ability to use words to create magic when he was being chased by Jiang Qiu'e in 'Sad Hill Abyss'.

It's an incredibly powerful ability to wield authority; if it were fully restored, I can't even imagine how disgusting it would be.

Now, 30 seconds is enough for the Burning Angels to get far away from this place.

"Leave quickly."

After retrieving the token, Xia Feng and the others did not hesitate at all, transforming into six streams of light and rushing towards the eastern sky.

The ruins were silent and deserted.

However, not long after, four more streaks of light shot in from the western horizon and crashed down on the ruins in an instant.

"boom!!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, besides Leng Xiu's cursing, there was also the earth-shattering roar of Burning City's fury.
*
In the pitch-black sky, six streaks of light streaked across the thick fog and clouds, still rushing and fleeing without the slightest pause or hesitation.

Angie, the Holy Priest, was being carried on Hathaway's back. His eyelids were drooping, and the light flowing through Hathaway's body was distorted as a result, making her look like she was about to collapse.

Xia Feng realized that Anji was about to lose consciousness and fall into a coma, so he quickly asked, "What exactly happened at the main court? What is the purpose of Holy Shepherd Moro? Where is Master Miao now?"

"Master Miao is imprisoned in the Tower of Babel and is about to become a sacrifice to the Red Moon. Moro wants the Red Moon to descend!"

Holy Father Angie succinctly and quickly explained the situation of the General Court, his hoarse voice gradually becoming low and weak, "The decline of the Holy See is already inevitable. Chana Xue, Jiang Qiu'e, this is no longer something you can stop."

"Leave as soon as possible, don't go," she murmured, her voice fading as her head slumped down.

Hathaway's figure also transformed into crimson light, which solidified into an intricate and mysterious emblem on the back of her hand.

Red Moon? Xia Feng was taken aback and looked at the two saintesses, asking in confusion, "What is Red Moon?"
