Chapter 656 Lune's Desperate Battle
He raised his middle finger.
"Two pieces of trash."
The ancestral figure of the Monks family gazed at Henry and Lune with a cold demeanor and spoke, "Tell me, how did you two manage to extract my faith power from the Ascendant God statue?"
With a faint smile, Henry responded, "Your faith power has been absorbed by me."
"Absorbed by you?" Upon hearing Henry's words, the ancestor of the Monks family burst into laughter, and the 2nd-tier deity standing behind him also displayed a mocking tone, "Kid, it seems you haven't been an awakener for long. It's common knowledge that faith power can only be destroyed, not utilized by others. An awakener who lacks even this basic knowledge dreams of overturning the domain of the sinful and reviving the Lord of Competition? It seems like you're indulging in daydreams."
Sneering, the Monks family ancestor arrogantly lifted his head and, extending his foot forward, said, "I'll give you a chance. Come and lick my shoes like a dog, begging for my mercy. Perhaps I might leave your body intact."
Henry merely smiled, unfazed, and replied, "Since you don't believe, there's not much more I can say. And you're not some peerless beauty. Those filthy feet of yours, asking me to lick them? I suppose even your wife must feel disgusted to the point of vomiting when she does."
At this, Lune burst into laughter beside him, giving Henry a thumbs up for his potent verbal jab.
As expected, upon hearing Henry's words, the face of the Monks family ancestor contorted with rage, and he trembled as he spoke, "Young man, you are courting death! Standing before you are two deities."
With that, a formidable aura erupted from the ancestor, unleashing a divine presence that burst forth in front of Henry and Lune.
Feeling the oppressive might of this divine presence, Henry felt a stirring within, wondering if this was the surge only accessible to a deity. He believed he would soon reach this realm himself.
"Submit to me!" bellowed the Monks family ancestor, his large hand sweeping towards Henry in an attempt to apprehend him with overwhelming momentum.
Faced with imminent danger, Henry remained calm, frantically activating the Thunder Dragon gas ejector behind him to evade the formidable pressure.
He then drew his demon bow and fired an arrow with all his might at the Monks family ancestor.
The demon unleashed by the bow, despite being over level 50, evaporated before it could even reach the ancestor, dissolved by the divine aura.
The ancestor of the Monks family, taken aback, watched the scene unfold before him and abruptly asked, "How come you possess the supreme treasure of the lord of demons?"
Behind the Monks family's ancestor, a 2-tier deity casually remarked, "This youngster has some connections with the lord of demons and has acquired quite a few treasures from him."
"If you can eliminate this youngster and present the bow of the demon to Mr. A, Mr. Black will reward you handsomely."
The thought of Mr. A's reward suddenly stirred the ancestor of the Monks family.
This might be an opportunity to compensate for his losses in faith power.
"Boy, consider this your reparation to me. Hand over the bow of the demon!" the ancestor of the Monks family laughed maniacally as he charged towards Henry again.
At that moment, Lune took the initiative, swiftly stepping in front of the ancestor of the Monks family and landing a heavy punch on his left arm.
The impact forced the ancestor of the Monks family to stagger back a few steps, slightly disheveled.
"You've actually done it, confronting a deity with the body of an awakener!" the ancestor of the Monks family said in a deep, cold voice, staring at Lune, "It seems I cannot let you go today. It's time for you to intervene, sir. I might not be able to handle the two of them alone."
The 2-tier deity nodded indifferently, about to join the fray when Lune, gritting his teeth, stepped in front of Henry, "Have you found the temple of that person?"
Henry nodded solemnly. "This is our only chance to win. It all depends on you now!"
"Hold on, I'll be there soon!"
Behind Henry, the Thunder Dragon's jet propulsion system roared to life, propelling him towards the distance.
Seeing this, the ancestor of the Monks family, furious, attempted to pursue Henry but was effectively blocked by Lune.
"Your opponent is me!"
Lune stated calmly.
The ancestor of the Monks family, infuriated, said, "Lune, do you really think you, as an awakener, can defeat two deities at the same time?"
"Today, I will make you fall and turn the legend of a millennium ago into nothing but a mere bubble!"
Instantly, the two sides clashed, with the ancestor of the Monks family delivering a fierce palm strike towards Lune, which Lune managed to block.
However, Rellpath didn't just stand by; he drew his blade and teleported next to Lune.
Lune was taken aback and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The blade still pierced through his body, leaving a moderate wound in his abdomen.
Blood surged to Lune's mouth instantly.
"I'd like to see how you'll fight us both!" the ancestor of the Monks family laughed heartily, intensifying his attacks.
Lune, despite being hailed as the most talented awakener of the criminal domain from a millennium ago, still seemed somewhat inadequate in front of two deities of higher rank.
Alone, he might have been a match for the ancestor of the Monks family, but with an additional 2-tier deity, the likelihood of victory was extremely slim.
Lune didn't aim to defeat them both but to buy time for Henry to reach the 2-tier deity's temple as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Henry's woman and Sarah, watching from behind Lune, were deeply distressed.
Especially Sarah, who felt something stir inside her heart when she saw Lune, with his aged body, being battered by the two deities, and couldn't help but shed tears.
However, she felt powerless, knowing she couldn't withstand a single strike from such deities and would be instantly obliterated.
Suddenly, Rellpath's gaze fell upon Sarah. Initially puzzled, he looked back and forth between Lune and Sarah, then, with a thoughtful expression, said, "I seem to sense some secrets here, a blood resonance between you and this girl. Could it be that you two are father and daughter?"
Rellpath's words immediately stunned Sarah, leaving her pale and looking at Lune with an incredulous expression.
Lune's expression remained unchanged, merely clenching his teeth as he glared at Rellpath.
"It seems I've hit the mark, though your daughter here appears to be unaware," Rellpath remarked, clapping his hands before his lips curved into a playful smile.
"It looks like we can conduct an experiment today."
With that, Rellpath conjured a light wave in his hand and hurled it towards Sarah.
Sarah, terrified, turned pale, wanting to dodge, but the light wave's speed far exceeded her current level's maximum capability.
At that moment, Lune, gritting his teeth, moved in a flash, positioning himself in front of Sarah.
The light wave mercilessly pierced through Lune's body, ravaging his flesh to the point of disintegration, yet Sarah, shielded behind Lune, remained unharmed.
Sparks flew, and charred skin mixed with blood, Lune's body trembled, yet he steadfastly stood in front of Sarah.
With a gaze that seemed to swallow everything, he fixed his eyes on the two deities in front of him, enduring the severe pain and calmly stated, "My daughter is not someone you two scum can harm."
Sarah, gazing at the aged figure before her, seemed to grasp something profound, her eyes brimming with tears.
With her lips quivering, she softly uttered, "Dad."
Witnessing this scene, a cold smirk appeared on Rellpath's face.
He clapped his hands and said, "What a touching father-
daughter moment, enough to move even a deity like me."
"But, Lune, how many more of my attacks can you withstand? Have you considered what will become of your daughter after you're gone?"
Lune clenched his fists, grinding his teeth as he responded, "I can fight here all day, you scoundrel."
Rellpath's gaze grew colder, and he levitated, saying indifferently, "Then let's see if your strength matches your bold words!"
Rellpath lunged forward, throwing a punch imbued with all his power.
Intent on a quick resolution, he aimed to kill Lune with a single blow and then destroy his daughter before him, plunging him into despair.
Rellpath, smiling, fantasized about the impending scene, but suddenly, he felt a flutter in his heart.
It was as if he had lost control, his body involuntarily bending.
The Authority within him was in turmoil, unsettling him greatly.
Something was wrong with his faith power!
