"How was it? The taste of predictive skill is not bad, right? Now, what else can you do besides waiting for death?"
Anthony smiled triumphantly again. As a cultivator, he was definitely not affected by the skill.
Qin Haodong also felt a subtle force imprisoning the space around him. However, this power was a little weaker in comparison. He was able to break this power after running his genuine power.
Although the skill weakened his ability to move, and he moved much more slowly than before, it could not prohibit his movement.
After he tried to take two steps forward, he walked much slower than before. It seemed that the predictive skill was causing him to walk slowly.
This kind of skill did have its own unique features. If a more powerful person had performed this skill, such as the Divine King, he would be as immobile as Lev, Khorkina, and the others.
While Anthony was laughing, he suddenly saw Qin Haodong take a few steps. Then he suddenly stared in amazement.
"How... How can you move?"
This predictive skill was exclusive to the Divine Court. And he had been very successful at it every time he performed it. And he had never seen anyone not being controlled by this skill.
Qin Haodong smiled and said, "This predictive skill is really powerful. Unfortunately, your strength is too weak. Now, let me show you what I've got."
He said as his mind moved. And he made an incantation. The Taiyin Qi-gathering Formation he just set started instantly.
This was the formation he set up with the formation flag, which was ten times more powerful than the simple Taiyin Qi-gathering Formation he set up before. The rich Taiyin force instantly filled up all the space within the formation.
The reason why the Divine Court and the dark races were restrained by each other was that the Divine Court used the holy power of light, while the dark creatures absorbed the Taiyin force.
Although both of them complemented each other and restrained each other, it also had an absolute relationship with quantity. For example, water could indeed restrain fire. However, if the amount of water was too small, and the fire was too strong, then the water would not restrain the fire at all.
This was the situation for now. Although Anthony was able to gather holy power, at this time, Taiyin Qi was so rich that it was condensed into essence.
Under the nourishment of the Taiyin force, Lev and Khorkina recovered quickly. And the two of them were as if they were charged with electricity and instantly resurrected.
With the gap in strength, the holy power that Anthony could control quickly dissolved, and then the predictive skill was dissolved.
Anthony was shocked, for he had never seen anyone who could control this skill.
His first reaction was to run away, but his previous way of running away was to control holy power. However, now the whole space had been filled by Taiyin Yuehua Qi, so there was no holy power for him to control.
Anthony was completely miserable this time. Not only could he not beat him, but he could not escape. There was also a Wolf King with Golden Hair and a Prince of Vampire standing across from him with a look of hatred in his eyes.
Anthony panicked, for in all his years as a Pontifex Maximus, he had never been in more danger than he was now.
"Ow..."
Lev let out a roar and lunged at Anthony.
Anthony once again drew a cross on his chest and tried to shoot holy light to stop Lev. Unfortunately, he shot a bright holy power that was not only one ten thousandths of what he shot before. The holy power he just shot was dissolved by Taiyin Qi and was unable to stop Lev.
At the same time, Khorkina lunged from behind him. She grabbed him by the neck and then instantly penetrated his carotid artery with her two blood-sucking canines and drank his blood unscrupulously.
When Anthony was about to scream, Lev started to bite Anthony with his two wolf claws.
The Pontifices Maximus were powerful because of their control of holy power, but their physical bodies were no different from those of ordinary people. Therefore, Anthony was instantly torn into several pieces by Lev's hateful wolf claws.
Qin Haodong turned his head away, for he felt that the scene really made him feel uncomfortable.
Khorkina said dissatisfiedly, "What are you in such a hurry? Why don't you let me suck his blood up first, and then you can kill him?"
Lev paid no attention to her and vented his grievance in a frenzy. After only a few dozen seconds, Anthony was no longer seen on the spot, and his entire body had been turned into the flesh on the ground.
After revenge, Lev slowly transformed into a human being. And he was full of tears and looked up to the sky and shouted, "Wife, son, I finally avenged you today..."
The hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was completely released at this moment.
Qin Haodong said, "All right. Come on and stand up. Clean up this stuff. And this place looks really disgusting."
He said as he threw a small bottle of Body Melting Powder at Lev.
Lev took the Body Melting Powder, melted all of Anthony's body away, and then cleaned it with water.
"Master, what should I do with this thing?"
Lev pointed at the only thing Anthony left on the ground, which was the shining Six-lights Star. After Anthony's death, its luster had faded a lot, and it looked like an ordinary jade.
Qin Haodong once saw Alex's Six-lights Star pendant on the plane and was very interested in it. He said, "Bring it over and show it to me."
Lev said, "Master, we dark creatures don't dare touch that thing at all. Even if we get close to that thing, we can't stand it, not to mention bringing it to you."
Khorkina said, "Yes, master. That thing is a holy object of the Divine Court, called the sacred Six-lights Star. It contains extremely rich bright holy power, so we don't dare to touch it at all."
"Oh!" Qin Haodong stepped forward and waved his hand, and the Six-lights Star flew into his palm.
After getting that thing, he really felt a strong bright holy power, but this power was neither harmful nor beneficial for him.
Lev said, "Master, hurry up and get rid of this thing. Otherwise, if the Divine Court knows that a Pontifex Maximus has been killed, and the Holy Six-lights Star is in our hands, they will certainly attack us crazily.
"The battlefield will not be Duke Andrea's manor then, and it will be our place."
Khorkina also said nervously, " The sacred Six-lights Star is a holy object handed down from the Divine Court. Once their people die, they will find out immediately. And they can also find the location of the Six-lights Star. We have killed the Pontifex Maximus before, but we couldn't handle the Six-lights Star. We couldn't destroy it or hide it, so we had to throw it away. As long as the Divine Court gets it back, they will soon be able to find a suitable successor and create a Pontifex Maximus again, which is the reason why the Divine Court has been flourishing for years."
After hearing the two of them, Qin Haodong's heart palpitated a bit. If he could get his people to gain the approval of this sacred Six-lights Star, wouldn't he be able to create a holy-stage master out of thin air?
Moreover, bright holy power had an excellent containment effect on dark creatures and might play a greater role in fighting Alien Demon.
When he thought of this, he asked, "Do you know how the sacred Six-lights Star seeks its inheritors?"
Khorkina said, "Although we have not seen it with our own eyes, we have heard of it. It is said that this sacred Six-lights Star has the ability to recognize its owner. Whoever gets its approval will become the Pontifex Maximus of the Divine Court. It is said that the strength of the Pontifex Maximus depends entirely on how much his constitution can be recognized by the sacred Six-lights Star. The reason why Alex is the strongest Pontifex Maximus is that she has the highest recognition from the Six-lights Star."
Qin Haodong asked, "Does the inheritance of Pontifex Maximus have anything to do with race? For example, can Huaxia people become pontifices of the Divine Court?"
Lev said, "We don't know this. Anyway, we have never seen a Huaxia man become the Pontifex Maximus of Divine Court."
Khorkina said eagerly, "Master, stop talking too much. Just get rid of this thing first. And I guess the people of the Divine Court will be here soon, and they could sense the sacred Six-lights Star."
"Don't be nervous. And I will take care of this, " Qin Haodong said as his mind moved, and he directly collected the Six-lights Star into the Storage Ring.
As the Storage Ring was connected to another independent space, he didn't believe that the people in Divine Court could sense its existence.
After putting away the sacred Six-lights Star, he said, "Lev, hurry up and wear the jade pendant. Khorkina, you'd better leave first. Since you are the famous prince of the Blood race, you can't hide when the people from Divine Court arrive here."
"Yes, master."
Khorkina promised as she instantly turned into a gold-winged bat, spread its wings, flew away, and soon disappeared into the night.
In Duke Andrea's manor, the battle had come to an end. Because the Dark Council was outnumbered and underestimated the Divine Court's strength, they had been defeated.
Only a few of Divine Court's men were chasing the scattered vampires and werewolves.
Alex was the most powerful one in the Pontifices Maximus and the leader of many pontifices present.
Originally, she was commanding her men to fight. Suddenly, the Six-lights Star on her chest vibrated, and then she felt sad in her mind.
Alex was shocked and felt that something bad had happened, for it was a sign of the death of a Pontifex Maximus.
Since they had an absolute advantage in the battle today and achieved an overwhelming victory, they should not have serious casualties. Besides, that person was a Pontifex Maximus with high cultivation.
She hurriedly sent out orders and told all the Divine Court members to return to the Grand Duke's manor.
Although the others did not understand what was happening, they still followed the instructions and went back.
Alex looked around the crowd with a stern look. The Divine Court dispatched a total of five Pontifices Maximus and three Paladins to defend the Holy Virgin.
After she looked around, the three Paladins were all there, while only four of the five Pontifices Maximus were there. And she did not see Anthony.
Her heart trembled. And she couldn't help but wonder if Anthony had really died.
She asked, "Has anyone seen Anthony the Pontifex Maximus?"
The Paladin Jankovic said, "I was just fighting with her. She wounded a Prince of Vampire and then chased after him."
At this point, Alex could already be sure that the one who died was Anthony.
She said with a grim look on her face, "My sacred Six-lights Star has just sent out a reaction. Anthony is dead."
Another Pontifex Maximus Valderrama said, "I just felt the reaction too. He died in the West."
Jankovic said in shock, "How could this happen? We have an absolute advantage, so how can there be such serious casualties?"
Valderrama said with a stern look, "I don't know the details yet. Let's quickly go over and see who dared to attack the members of the Divine Court. We must make sure that he will die."
Several other Pontifices Maximus echoed. They were about to rush together toward the west. Then Alex hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute! Don't be impulsive."
Valderrama said, "Alex, what are you waiting for? The one who passed away was our Pontifex Maximus, so we must get there as soon as possible and avenge Anthony. At the very least, we have to take back the sacred Six-lights Star. Otherwise, how can we explain to the Divine King?"
Alex said, "Now, our most important task is to protect the Holy Virgin. What if it is a trap set by the enemy?
"If this is a trap and all our members leave here. If the members of the Dark World make a comeback, the Holy Virgin will be in danger."
