The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"What an incredibly evil laugh! As expected, your Church of Life is destined to fail. Failure at the last minute is the fate of you people!"

Li Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.

The members of the Church of Life suddenly became alert, and even Regulus was caught off guard and was punched several times by Pusi.

"That voice again? Who are you?"

Where are you hiding?

"You cowardly brat, come out and fight our divine beings if you dare!"

Several bishops and the pope all looked at the bishop who had spoken those words.

He, who had just been indignant, said awkwardly, "I just wanted to show him how powerful we are, and besides..."

The Pope shook his head helplessly: "You'd better not say anything. Verbal bravado is useless. Instead, you should pay more attention to your surroundings and find the person who is hiding."

Pusi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had witnessed Li Xuan's power firsthand; the machinery used to construct the skyscraper alone had amazed him.

Now that Li Xuan has arrived, he no longer needs to listen to the angel's divided soul and continue to hold back his power.

The next instant, he increased the force of his punches, each attack becoming powerful and heavy, and once again gained the upper hand.

As Regulus was being beaten, he couldn't help but complain, "You actually got excited when you heard that voice. How much do you trust him?"

Pusi grinned wildly: "Haha, trust? I guess so. I was getting so bored from all this fighting. I finally got to fight, but fighting you meant worrying about getting exhausted and wiped out. But now it's different. My backup has arrived. Let me see just how strong I really am!"

"Stone-Shattering Fist! Face-Breaking Fist! Overlord Wind-Chasing Fist!"

He threw punches, one to the left and one to the right, each one landing squarely, forcing Regulus to retreat continuously.

Aren't all your fists the same?

"What do you know? My left fist deals high damage, and my right fist deals high damage. Such powerful fists deserve a powerful name, wouldn't that be a disservice to them? Besides, your face knows best whether my fists are hard or not."

Regulus, with his pig-like face: ...

The bishop of the Church of Life nervously emphasized, "I don't think this person dares to come out, and we've already sealed this place off with plant magic, so I guess he's most likely hiding outside!"

The plant cages set up by the Life Bishops, though lacking the power of a god-descended being, were incredibly resilient. Even if an ordinary person tried to break them with tools, they wouldn't be able to open them in a short time.

Li Xuan outside also noticed, but it wasn't that he couldn't get in; rather, he was thinking about what methods he could use to make a dashing entrance.

After all, among these people was a passionate young man he had met by chance before. Meeting an old friend shouldn't be too ordinary. Making an unexpected appearance can increase the weight of his image in the lives of the witnesses.

After much deliberation, Li Xuan finally decided to make a dramatic entrance.

Three minutes later, Regulus was beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. Thor couldn't help but wonder, "Why isn't the teacher coming in yet? Speaking of which, Pusi seems to be losing his strength."

Nord scoffed, "A three-minute man? You can't even last that long?"

Pusi instinctively retorted, "Bullshit, I can still fight!"

But it was this brief lapse that allowed Regulus to seize the opportunity and deliver a punch to Pusi.

Pusi, who had been hit, covered his face and complained, "It's all because of your sarcastic remarks that I was distracted. Don't say that again!"

Dinan exclaimed, "Pussy, watch out!"

Regulus threw a punch, which Pusi barely dodged. The wind from the punch whistled past, blowing Pusi's hair.

Regulus, whose sneak attack failed, couldn't resist a taunt: "Heh, already starting to tire? Looks like you're not so good either!"

Pusi readjusted his stance. He had indeed exhausted a lot of energy, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to land an effective attack on the person in front of him.

But a real man can't admit he can't do it. Pusi smirked and said defiantly, "Don't worry, I can take care of you from head to toe with the rest of my strength!"

"Then come on!"

The two started fighting again, but this time Pusi was clearly at a disadvantage and became the one on the defensive.

Boom!

Just as Pusi was thinking about whether he should find a chance to run away, a loud noise came from one side of the plant cage.

The massive explosion also kicked up a cloud of dust, and everyone present looked in that direction at the same time.

A figure moved slowly from the dust until a young man emerged from the smoke and dust.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough!"

Li Xuan hadn't expected the smoke to be so pungent; due to a lack of prior preparation, this mistake occurred.

The crowd, who thought a powerful figure had arrived: ...

Li Xuan coughed lightly, then greeted, "Who was it that said I didn't dare to come?"

Once the bishop saw who it was and considered Li Xuan's earlier performance, his courage surged instantly.

"It was me who said it, so what? You want to hit me?"

Li Xuan shook his head. "How could that be? I'm a pacifist. I don't usually hit people first."

Pusi breathed a sigh of relief, used his last bit of strength to punch Regulus in the nose, then instantly retreated and returned to the group.

Dinan caught Pusi and asked with concern, "How were you? Were you a little strained just now?"

Pusi waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Although that guy doesn't know any fighting techniques, he's really resilient. I used so much force, and he's still completely unharmed. But I didn't suffer any losses either."

"The rest is up to Li Xuan."

After Li Xuan appeared, Nord relaxed and put away the pistol he was holding.

Regulus covered his nose and looked at the newcomer.

It turned out to be him!

Li Xuan greeted Regulus, "Long time no see. I never expected you to be aiding and abetting evil, working for the Church of Life."

The Pope looked at Regulus in surprise. "You know him?"

Regulus did not deny it, saying, "It was just a brief encounter, and our time together was anything but pleasant."

Li Xuan casually shrugged, "Indeed, your values ​​are completely incompatible with mine. You can only blame your current predicament on meeting the wrong person."

The Pope ordered, "It seems this is your hope, Regulus, take care of him!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Regulus rushed towards Li Xuan without hesitation, not even having time to straighten his crooked nose.

Li Xuan was not afraid at all, and even complained: "As expected, you are really cold-blooded. You didn't even greet me when we met and you were ready to kill me. You have no manners at all."

Pusi exclaimed in alarm, "Li Xuan, he can use healing abilities to make your life force go berserk! Be careful not to let him touch you!"

The Pope suddenly revealed a sinister smile, "Hehehe, it's all too late! Mortals are utterly powerless against the might of the gods!"

In the blink of an eye, Regulus's green-glowing hand was already near Li Xuan. Seemingly afraid that Li Xuan would run away after hearing the warning, he directly used a remote healing spell on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan did not make any movement during this process, so his body began to emit green light.

Regulus, having achieved his goal, wore a sinister smile.
