"Nice to meet you, I'm a military officer of the Freedom Federation, Zhang Ren Jia" Gu Qing Shan greeted him.
"You were the one who sparred with Ivan?"
"That's me"
"Please don't say anything, let me guess — –" the cardinal smiled knowingly.
Gu Qing Shan leaned back on her chair and looked at him curiously.
Although I don't know what he wants, since he asked, I'll just let time pass like this.
That's good.
The cardinal spoke up.
"That impulsive idiot saw your military uniform, so he definitely came up to provoke you and asked to spar with you"
The cardinal tilted his head and pointed at Gu Qing Shan: "Am I right?"
— — -so that's what he's talking about. Gu Qing Shan understood.
He then showed a helpless expression and said: "I couldn't refuse, he seems to like sparring"
"Of course! Of course! He likes sparring the most, he even dared to offend me "the cardinal's eyes flashed with anger.
He continued: "That's why when he asked to spar, you couldn't stand his provocation and decided to teach him a lesson"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan followed up.
"He thought he could completely destroy your confidence, but instead he ran into a steel plate and was sent flying"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan was very supportive.
"Hm, I have to say, you did a great job, I also hate that guy" the cardinal sighed.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her Holo-Brain.
[1 minute 59 seconds] the Holo-Brain showed.
"I really want to be friends with you" the cardinal clasped his hands together and said.
"That would be my honor" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The cardinal's tone suddenly changed: "But regardless, Ivan is a member of our Holy Church, since you sent him flying, I'm sorry, but I can't be friends with you"
"I'm sorry" Gu Qing Shan said.
The cardinal replied: "It can't be helped, the Holy Church's reputation was damaged after all, so I have to make up for it. That way, everyone will know who the most reliable Holy Apostle is"
A gorgeous dark red pattern appeared beneath his feet.
Mystic-type God's Chosen Skill, Holy Spirit.
The cardinal flew up and turned into an illusory shadow.
He said apologetically, "Seeing that you've made me happy, I'll only take your legs."
The Cardinal took out a long whip and lashed it at Gu Qing Shan.
"Actually, we can keep talking, talk bad about Ivan" as Gu Qing Shan said so, she drew the Earth sword to cut the whip.
The whip pierced through the Earth sword and continued to howl towards Gu Qing Shan.
As expected!
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed, dodging this attack.
"Huh?" The red-robed bishop was a little surprised.
"You've seen the Holy Church's God's Chosen Skill?"
As he said that, the long whip danced like a poisonous snake, targeting Gu Qing Shan's vital parts.
As Gu Qing Shan dodged, she used her sword to lift the chair.
The chair flew through the cardinal's body and landed on the second floor.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
This is at least a fully awakened [Holy Spirit].
[Holy Spirit] is the Holy Church's Mystic-type God's Chosen Skill, it allows the body and weapon to become illusory, impervious to all attacks from the real world.
At the same time, the user of the Holy Spirit can attack from the illusory state, attacking the enemy.
[Atonement] is a very powerful fighting skill, but [Holy Spirit] is also very powerful.
The Holy Church's prosperity is all because of these near-invincible Mystic-type God's Chosen Skills.
Those who have these Mystic-type God's Chosen Skills are known as Holy Apostles.
Holy Apostles are trained from birth through a special method to have a chance to awaken a Mystic-type God's Chosen Skill.
But in this process, there's one thing that can't be missed. That's the royal family's God's Chosen Awakening Serum.
The Holy Church has these seeds, and the royal family has the serum. That's how St. Orlank Empire's glorious history came to be.
Gu Qing Shan quickly retreated, switching her title to [Sword 15].
A God's Chosen Skill like [Holy Spirit] is the bane of sword cultivators like Gu Qing Shan.
Only [Sword 15]'s title Skill [Sound Shock] has any effect on the enemy.
[Sound Shock (Primary): During the attack, the weapon will interfere with the enemy's soul vessel]
This is the only non-physical attack skill he has.
He still isn't strong enough to become a Sword Saint, nor does he have the ability to cut through everything.
"I didn't even hurt Ivan, why are you trying to cut off my legs?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Ahahaha, you probably don't know, but the Holy Church doesn't allow for failure, Ivan will definitely be heavily punished after this" the cardinal swung his whip, attacking without restraint.
Hiss!
As the sword came, the cardinal didn't even look at it and muttered: "This kind of attack won't — — -"
His words were cut off.
The sword still missed, but there was a trace of pain on the cardinal's face.
He instinctively touched his nose.
Blood came out.
"Did you hurt me?" he looked at the blood on his finger and couldn't help but ask.
A glorious holy light began to emit from his body.
Suddenly, Impartial Goddess' voice came.
[Time's up, warp device activating, please be careful sir]
"What's the matter?"
[The other Holy Apostles have received the relevant information and are quickly approaching, the Holy Church's army is about to finish assembling]
"Alright, I understand"
Gu Qing Shan's expression turned serious.
The cardinal's expression changed and shouted: "Who are you talking to!?"
He suddenly heard a small noise coming from a room on the 3rd floor.
"Kada!"
It was the sound of a machine starting up.
The cardinal was stunned, realizing for the first time that things weren't as he thought.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned the display room through the wall.
There was no one in the room.
The king had already disappeared from this world, while Anna had also warped back to the S.W. Divine Temple.
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag, summoning a light gold General Armor set, quickly attached itself to his body through his inner sight.
With the silver mask covering his face, he glanced at the cardinal one last time.
"It's time to part, I'll keep my legs for the next time I fight you" he said.
"Who exactly are you — –" the cardinal was stunned and spoke blankly.
Not only was the situation completely different from what he thought, this person didn't seem to be a normal military officer of the Federation either.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and flew towards the window at the end of the hallway.
"Damn it, stay!" the cardinal regained his senses and angrily shouted as he swung his whip.
Gu Qing Shan ignored him and only focused on running towards the window.
The whip carried a strong gust of wind as it struck the You Ji General's armor, letting out a series of 'clang clang clang clang' sounds.
— — other than increasing Gu Qing Shan's speed a bit, these attacks were completely useless against the You Ji General's armor.
The golden light leapt out of the window, flew for a few hundred meters in the air before landing and quickly flew away.
"He can fly …" The cardinal looked at this scene blankly.
By myself, I can't catch up, but — — -
The cardinal suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went to the door of the room where the sound came from.
With a single lash of the whip, the entire door was sent flying.
He rushed into the room and looked around.
Everything was normal.
As the cardinal walked around, his gaze fell on the wall.
From what he remembered, there should be a painting hanging here.
The wall was empty.
