Volume 4, Chapter 48 – Someone’s Breakdown and the Falling Head

“Next, let’s have some fun, expert~”

The blue-haired girl with hollow eyes said in a playful tone.

Seemingly hearing the mocking intent in Bai Lianyue’s words, Falco showed a fierce expression, anger suddenly covering his shock.

“You don’t think that just because you dealt with three trash, you can beat me, do you? I’m Falco-Valen!”

Although Lianna had defeated the three Sacred Warriors including Mosol, Falco was at most just shocked.

In his view, with his noble bloodline from a god-serving family, he was definitely much stronger than those three.

Even if Lianna could defeat those three, she couldn’t possibly beat him.

To severely teach Lianna a lesson, Falco’s eyes suddenly burst with blue fierce light. His spiritual power erupted and gathered on his staff, directly transforming it into a huge horse-cutting saber, which he fiercely slashed toward the blue-haired girl’s neck. Terrifying wind pressure and horrifying spiritual power fluctuations merged and exploded, causing the entire canyon to begin crumbling.

However, facing Falco’s powerful strike, Bai Lianyue contemptuously narrowed her eyes and snorted disdainfully.

“Full of openings.”

The next moment, Bai Lianyue didn’t even lift her hand. She casually kicked a small stone on the ground beside her. The small stone wrapped in ice-blue energy immediately flew up, hitting precisely at Falco’s armpit position—a special acupoint for spiritual power circulation.

Immediately after, Falco instantly felt his arm go numb, and his spiritual power circulation came to an abrupt halt. The huge horse-cutting saber that had lost its spiritual power attack suddenly reverted to its original staff form and fell powerlessly to the ground.

“My, my hand?!”

Clutching his arm, Falco muttered to himself. Then this High Priest directed a vicious gaze toward Bai Lianyue.

“You! What did you just do?!!”

Facing this question, the evil god miss didn’t answer directly, but tilted her head and showed a disappointed expression.

“You… don’t have any real combat experience, do you?”

“What, what are you saying?”

“Not prioritizing distance after being approached by an enemy, but instead using slow counterattacks; attack routes that are too direct; sluggish spiritual power mobilization; giving up on attacks from just a little paralysis; shouting loudly in front of the enemy… these are all mistakes only rookies would make.”

Staring at Falco’s face, the evil god miss gave her evaluation without mercy.

“You keep saying you’re the strongest? But in my view, even the weakest of those Sacred Warriors is stronger than you.”

“You!!”

Seeing himself being insulted, the angry emotions in Falco’s heart suddenly climbed higher and higher.

He was the young master of the Valen family, an absolute genius!

Calling me weak?!

Outrageous!

“Nonsense! Those Sacred Warriors working together before were no match for me! How could they be stronger than me? Just now I wasn’t being serious and let you take advantage, don’t think you’re actually amazing! Lianna, you’ll pay the price for angering me!”

Roaring furiously, the spiritual power aura within Falco began to roar out from his body like a bursting dam. The instantly powerful energy impact caused the surrounding mountains to shake.

“Watch how I teach you a lesson!”

Facing the surging Falco, Bai Lianyue calmly tilted her head:

“Fine, I was also planning to properly educate you.”

“Educate me?! Lianna, I advise you… ???!!!”

However, before the harsh words could leave his mouth, Bai Lianyue’s slap struck Falco’s face like lightning. While hitting him, she even muttered with disgust:

“Kidnapping little children, shameless.”

—”Smack!!!”—

In the loud sound, Falco’s just-raised staff fell to the ground again. His entire person even retreated dozens of steps.

Being slapped again, Falco flew into a rage and swung his fist at Bai Lianyue:

“Lianna you! …?!”

“Deceiving my Ai’er, shameless.”

—”Smack!!”—

“What the hell?!!”

“Wanting to force my daughter to marry you, shameless.”

—”Smack!!”—

“Damn it, don’t hit the face!”

“Wanting to molest me, shameless.”

—”Smack!!”—

“You, you crazy woman!!”

—”Smack!”—

Although Falco tried his best to launch attacks and prove his strength while suppressing Lianna, every time… before he could even use his techniques, Falco’s spiritual power circulation would be interrupted by one of Bai Lianyue’s slaps.

Then Falco would curse angrily and explode with spiritual power.

Immediately after, this Divine Faith High Priest would be greeted by another of Bai Lianyue’s slaps.

Just like this, after being repeatedly slapped dozens of times by Bai Lianyue, Falco—bruised and swollen, bleeding from all seven orifices—lay trembling on the ground. While spitting blood, he stared at the ground in existential doubt.

“No, no, how is this possible? I, I’m heaven’s favored son, how… how could I be beaten like this? Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

Shaking his head, Falco frantically denied reality.

“It’s impossible…”

“Nothing’s impossible.”

“What did you say?”

Looking at the blue-haired girl with a cold expression before him, Falco asked with a face full of resentment.

“Your spiritual power intensity is indeed very high, and your physical qualities aren’t bad either. But you have almost no real combat experience and don’t understand even basic combat rules.”

Staring at Falco lying on the ground like a pug, Bai Lianyue’s eyes gradually showed the look one gives an idiot.

“I bet you’re just someone who stays in safe zones every day, growing through medications. The reason those Sacred Warriors couldn’t beat you probably isn’t because their strength is inferior to yours, but because they don’t dare offend you. Otherwise, with your level of strength, you’d be pinned to the ground and beaten in two and a half moves.”

Speaking of this, the evil god miss couldn’t help but let out a mocking laugh.

“Heh, calling yourself an expert… you’re just trash.”

“No!!”

Pressing his hands to his head, Falco still looked unwilling to accept reality, shaking his head hysterically.

However, Miss Bai Lianyue on the other side had already lost interest in fooling around with Falco.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, I’m too lazy to chatter so much with you. Time to finish things and go home. If Ai’er finds out I ran out for so long again, she’ll be angry.”

With these words, Bai Lianyue quietly clenched the hand she’d been using to slap, and an ice sword condensed from cold ice suddenly appeared in the girl’s hand.

An extremely cold killing intent that seemed capable of completely freezing a person’s soul instantly enveloped the entire canyon like surging waves.

After sensing this eerie killing intent, Falco suddenly trembled all over. His legs went weak and he sat trembling on the ground, continuously scooting backward on his bottom.

“What, what do you want to do?!!”

Fearful emotions uncontrollably overflowed from Falco’s eyes.

“I can’t leave alive any scum who covets my daughter.”

“You want to kill me?! Don’t you know who I am?! I’m the young master of the Valen family! Falco-Valen! If you kill me, the Valen family! The Divine Faith! Even the people from Paradise Manor! None of them will let you go!”

Falco threatened hysterically.

However, this threat didn’t frighten Bai Lianyue as Falco expected. Instead, it made her expression even more sinister. Along with the sinister look, she also showed a bone-chilling smile.

“Then I definitely can’t let you go~”

“What, what?! Hey!! You, you!”

Seeing Bai Lianyue walking toward him step by step, Falco, feeling the threat of death, even began flooding below.

Having always been under the Divine Faith’s protection and never personally been on a battlefield… after feeling such terrifying killing intent and life-threatening danger for the first time, his emotions were almost at the breaking point.

His entire person was in a wretched state, no longer showing any of the confidence and arrogance from an hour ago.

However, when Bai Lianyue walked before him again, Falco’s pupils suddenly contracted. He suddenly realized a very serious issue.

Rеaԁ oո KаtRеаdіոɡСаfе

He still had a trump card!!

That old man!!

Right!

He could still summon that old man!

After realizing this, Falco’s face, which had been twisted by fear, once again showed a crazed smile.

“Want to kill me?!! Not so easy! You’re very powerful, right? I don’t believe you can handle my father and our church’s elites!!”

Staring at the blue-haired girl’s face, Falco roared fiercely.

At the same time, he unhesitatingly activated the emergency teleportation array on his ring.

This array was the life-saving trump card his father Akshi had left him, used to summon Akshi and several top papal guards.

In Falco’s view, no matter how strong the blue-haired girl was, she couldn’t possibly beat his father.

However, Falco’s smile didn’t seem to have a long shelf life.

Because, with the opening of the teleportation array, his father’s figure didn’t appear… instead, a round object directly fell from mid-air into Falco’s arms.

Looking closely, Falco’s smile froze in place.

“Old… old man?”

That’s right—what appeared in Falco’s hands, the round object… was nothing other than the head of his father, Pope Akshi-Valen of the Divine Faith.

What, what’s going on?

How… how could this happen?

Just as Falco was completely bewildered, a strange female voice drifted down from above him.

—”Old hag?!! Why are you here?!!”—
