With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

In the deserted alley outside the tavern.

Pedro flicked his sleeves, tossed the last gold coin into the knee-high mountain of coins in front of him, and laughed.

"Mr. Chen's friends are my friends too. Consider this a gift from me to you as a token of our friendship. Don't be shy."

Chen Beixuan rubbed his temples, already used to it.

But Lu Ziming and the other four were all stunned.

It wasn't the amount of gold coins that shocked them; after all, they were people who had seen a lot.

They were shocked at how so many gold coins had come out of him.

Does this short NPC have some hidden secrets?

They're so good at hiding things on their bodies...

The scene of pouring gold coins like water being released from a dam lingered in their minds.

What a treasure NPC!

The old man is really lucky.

With this guy by my side, I'll never lack gold coins again...

I'm so envious...

"Hurry up and grab it, it'll get cold and hard to handle later."

Pedro put his hands on his hips and gestured with his chin to the others.

"After all, this is the result of your hard work, shall we take it...?"

Lu Ziming said somewhat embarrassedly, but his eyes glanced at the old man next to him.

Before Chen Beixuan could speak, Pedro spoke first.

He waved his hand, feigning deep melancholy.

"I enjoy the process, I don't necessarily have to get it, so you can take it all."

Chen Beixuan nodded subtly, and only then did Lu Ziming and the others begin to pick them up.

End of episode.

Chen Beixuan recounted the mission to destroy the Church of Light, which shocked the group once again.

Lu Ziming recalled the intelligence he had gathered and said with a solemn expression.

"We've taken on several missions from the church before. The archbishop inside is a level 60 gold boss, and it seems there's also a projection of the Pope of Light. Are you confident, sir?"

He remembered the last server-wide announcement that the old man had killed a level 50 gold boss.

Level 60 should be no problem for the old man, but I don't know if he can handle the projection clone now.

He was unaware of the different levels of clones.

However, since he is the Pope, he must be at least level 80 or higher.

Grandpa... is this okay?

A hint of worry flashed through their minds.

Before Chen Beixuan could speak, Pedro interrupted again.

"An archbishop? I, Master Chen, could wipe him out with a flick of my finger. As for his clones..."

He had only spoken halfway when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned his head and met Chen Beixuan's meaningful gaze.

He shuddered, and immediately swallowed the rest of his sentence.

He lowered his head meekly and said, "Mr. Chen, I've been too talkative. Please tell me... please tell me..."

Chen Beixuan ignored him and spoke directly.

"The mission is not difficult for me. You just need to stay in a safe place and don't worry about the rest."

"Uh...okay."

Several people looked at each other.

It's that same feeling of helplessness again, when you can't help at all.

Familiar yet unfamiliar...

......

In the alley next to the tower of the Church of Light.

Chen Beixuan leaned against the wall and waited quietly.

A moment later, Pedro broke his invisibility and appeared beside him, reporting in a low voice.

"We've found out that the archbishop is resting in his room, while the others are having a meeting in the prayer room. There aren't even any guards at the door."

Chen Beixuan nodded upon hearing this.

He turned his head left and right to see if anyone was around, then immediately let out a low shout.

"A black fog has descended!"

"Escape into the void!"

A black mist enveloped his entire body, concealing his aura.

As darkness fell, he swiftly made his way to the archbishop's room on the second floor!

They quickly and successfully passed through the wall and entered the bishop's room.

But as soon as he entered, he saw a scene that shocked him to the core!

The fat, greasy Martin and a fair-skinned, thin young man were seen embracing intimately, their lips just centimeters away from touching!

Hearing the noise, the two turned around in alarm, and the three of them were immediately embarrassed!

Chen Beixuan was dumbfounded, feeling as if his eyes had been tainted!

Too hot for the eyes!

It's often said that the richer and more powerful a person is, the more extravagant their lifestyle becomes, and now it seems that's absolutely true!

Poverty really does limit imagination...

Although his mind was filled with emotion, his hands moved quickly.

With a raised staff, he parted his lips slightly.

"Thunder and lightning!"

boom!

Powerful True Damage -591840, Soul Kill -136800!

Cold-blooded -177547, Soul Killer -136800, -177547, ...

Ruined -220000!

Lucky Combo +4!

Boom boom boom!

Ding Ding Ding!

Invincible, invincible, ...

In the blink of an eye, lightning struck!

The slender young man was instantly chopped into charred remains and died a gruesome death on the spot.

Martin, his skin smooth and glistening, knelt on the ground, coughing up blood. In a daze, he finally came to his senses.

Taking advantage of his near-death and invincible state, he immediately launched a counterattack!

Grabbing the dusty staff beside him, he unleashed a Holy Sun Punishment!

A huge, circular, holy sun appeared behind them, from which several chains of holy light shot out to attack!

However, they were all blocked by the Northern Xuan Turtle that Chen Beixuan had summoned in advance!

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

A metallic clanging sound echoed from inside the room!

-12458, -12458, -12458, ...

The Northern Black Tortoise raised its head from behind its shell, its eyes filled with anger.

I just came out and someone attacked my butt again!

Couldn't we have played somewhere else?!

It immediately unleashed a frost breath at them!

"Pah—spit!"

A large mouthful of cellar wine instantly covered Martin completely!

The wall behind them froze over with frost!

Deceleration -83879!

Martin felt nauseous, but he didn't care about the nausea.

He was shocked that his attack had no effect whatsoever!

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great!

This was a premeditated assassination!

Without any hesitation, he immediately reversed his staff and slammed it hard into the ground!

Upon seeing this, Chen Beixuan cast a freezing spell, but was prompted that he was immune to the control.

They could only watch helplessly as he crashed to the ground.

Click!

The crystal at the tip of the staff shattered!

A terrifying aura of holy light erupted, and the golden energy nearly caused the black mist to dissipate!

Immediately afterwards, a voice as beautiful as a heavenly melody rang out!

"Who is calling me?"

Martin cried out in a panic, "Your Holiness, save me!"

same moment.

As his eyes gradually adjusted to the bright light, Chen Beixuan was stunned when he saw the person's face clearly.

A woman dressed in a pure white robe appeared before him. She had fair skin and delicate features. A holy light emanated from her back, and her three thousand golden hairs cascaded down like a waterfall. Her azure eyes stared at him without any emotion.

Lost in thought, Lydia spoke with a compassionate expression.
