A person walked out from the shadows, wearing the Night Patrol uniform—it was Luo Jin.

Their gazes met, and Zhao Xun's face changed dramatically, his expression full of murderous intent. But Matthew gently waved his hand and looked at Luo Jin, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "You still came."

"Archbishop, what's the use of talking with him? We must not let him leave alive this time!" Zhao Xun hadn't expected that in the prison, Luo Jin had been restrained with the Church's Spirit-Binding Shackles, rendering him no different from a useless person; everyone inside was his people. He truly couldn't understand how Luo Jin managed to get out.

Matthew ignored Zhao Xun and sighed lightly, "You keep watch here. Luo Jin, come with me."

Luo Jin directly ignored Zhao Xun and followed Matthew into the passage on the left side, entering another spacious chamber—a type of secret room that the arena had many of below.

It also implied that the scale was much larger before.

Luo Jin's ears twitched, his expression subtly changed. Matthew smiled, "That little guy is very interesting and quite like you. He managed to find his way here as well. Luo Jin, this is your last chance. Both you and Li Xin can survive."

Luo Jin gently shook his head, "He came, which means it's his fate. Teacher, why have we arrived at this point today?"

Matthew spread his hands and chuckled, "Human desire is like a boulder rolling down a mountain—it never stops once it falls."

"Teacher, among the brothers from back then, only I remain." As he spoke, Luo Jin drew his Long Saber—the one Matthew personally gave him when he became the captain of the Night Patrol.

Matthew sighed and performed the Half Moon Ceremony, his fingers moving, and a Rune Array appeared at his feet. At the same time, Luo Jin acted—the Preacher's Holy Word Technique, once unleashed, would leave him no chance. Violent Spiritual Power erupted from Luo Jin's body, his eyes had already turned pale white, and this strike embodied over ten years of life-and-death essence of the Night Patrol, advancing with fearless determination towards life or death.

In this space, Luo Jin's aura and resolve stopped everything in its tracks, instantly reaching the front of Matthew—at this level of power, anyone struck would meet their end.

Swoosh...

Matthew's body disappeared in place, reappearing behind Luo Jin the next moment, and a thunderous Hera Language sounded in his ear: The god said, you have lost the light.

In an instant, darkness enveloped Luo Jin's vision, but the Holy Word Technique did not cease.

"The god said, you have lost the sound."

"The god said, your hands and feet are bound."

In that instant, Luo Jin lost his ability to move, and Matthew had already gripped Luo Jin's saber, thrusting it into Luo Jin's heart. Suddenly, Matthew frowned as Luo Jin grasped his shoulder and landed a fierce punch.

Bang...

The Archbishop was directly slammed into the wall, his body severely indented, while Luo Jin, pierced by the Demon-Sealing Saber in his chest, seemed unscathed, pulling out the Long Saber without any blood.

The Archbishop also stepped down from the wall, his indented chest squirming back into shape, visibly flattening.

"You have broken your vow," Matthew said, "Why do it?"

Under his Holy Word Technique, the fact that Luo Jin could still move only meant he has fallen.

To break free from the Spirit-Binding Shackles of the prison, to face Matthew's Holy Word Technique head-on, breaking vows is inevitable—self-devouring being the simplest and most direct method.

"Even the last faith you held onto is gone," Matthew said with sentiment.

His student, the most formidable and resilient one, nurtured by the worms over the years, upholding his vows—not many in the Church indeed.

Ironically, the Church is the biggest user of these worms, implanted into Preachers and elite Law Enforcers. Yet, once vows are broken, they become targets for purification, symbols of sin.

Luo Jin shook his head, "Teacher, I never believed in the Moon God."

Matthew remained indifferent, and Luo Jin's body gradually expanded in size—he was undergoing a monstrous transformation...

At this moment, Li Xin was at the exit, he vaguely knew the place Zhao Xun entered, but in the blink of an eye, it was gone, forcing Li Xin to resort to a clumsy method.

Dig!

Bang...

With a punch, the ground collapsed, creating an opening, but quickly reaching a dead end; Li Xin did not hesitate, striking the wall directly with his fist.

Bang...

Bang...

Li Xin embodied a human tunnel-digging machine, punching layer by layer until he saw a long and narrow passage with a stench of decay and finally found it.

Soon, Li Xin saw Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun saw Li Xin. Zhao Xun was genuinely surprised that this inconspicuous little underling could find this place, but it was perfect to serve as nourishment.

After a great replenishment, Zhao Xun's mind was no longer functioning normally and immediately lunged, terrifying Spiritual Ability enveloping Li Xin, a claw reaching for Li Xin.

Thud…

Zhao Xun's right arm was torn off directly, and he let out a piercing scream. What's happening???

An aggregate spiritual ability beam blasted out from his mouth, and the next instant Zhao Xun's eyes almost popped out. Li Xin blocked the spiritual ability beam with one hand and punched Zhao Xun, sending him flying. As he flew, all of Zhao Xun's bones were already broken, and he crashed into the wall, bringing down a pile of offerings. Li Xin saw half of Zhao Qing's face remaining on the ground.

How could Zhao Xun have suffered such agony? From the moment he was born, others were mere ants, and nourished by worms, he climbed higher. This was the path to becoming a god; he could live forever!

Ah ah ah~~~

Zhao Xun roared, and the worms inside him became excited. Like a beast, Zhao Xun began devouring and tearing into other worms and flesh without care. Zhao Xun's body started to inflate as he suddenly turned back: "What kind of monster are you!"

"Where is Matthew?" Li Xin frowned slightly.

"Heh heh, you'll know once you become a part of me." Zhao Xun's body was twisting, but the power emanating from him became extremely terrifying, as there was an ancient worm inside him.

Thud, thud, thud…

Stronger spiritual ability beams shot toward Li Xin. Li Xin's body swayed like a ghost, and all the attacks missed. The next instant, Li Xin was in front of Zhao Xun, not speaking, and directly tore off Zhao Xun's inflated limbs, suddenly sensing a certain vibration.

Inside the secret chamber, Luo Jin had fully transformed into a nearly three-meter tall monster. He no longer needed weapons; his right hand turned into a massive bone saber, filled with chilling coldness, chopping at Matthew. Though he was a preacher, Matthew's seemingly slow movements were very effective, and Luo Jin's sharp attacks couldn't cause fatal damages for the moment.

Matthew's spiritual ability was strong, but in combat techniques, Luo Jin had the upper hand, reducing the effect of the Holy Word Technique.

The sacred Archbishop and the grotesque monster tangled, the only piece of humanity left seeming to be that inflated head, carrying marks of Luo Jin.

Matthew took out the Half Moon Badge from his bosom, red runes enveloped it, and red spiritual ability beams instantly pierced through Luo Jin's body, creating intense burning through divine power. Within the Church Court, preachers held the most secret arts, undoubtedly possessing the strongest lethality against fallen creatures. Once divine power hits, it produces relentless burning, especially from a powerful Grand High Priest.

Luo Jin didn't care, continuing to chase and chop, debris flying as he hacked the secret chamber. Red divine beams pierced through Luo Jin's tall body, which was already worn out, and each burn brought unbearable pain, with divine power inherently suppressing fallen power, a punishment for all sins, according to the Church.

Luo Jin's sins.

Dong~~~

Luo Jin's giant scythe on his right arm stabbed deep into the stone wall but did not pull out because his legs were pierced directly by spiritual ability beams.

Aflame with divine power, holding the Half Moon Badge, Matthew, like a merciful father, looked at Luo Jin with pity, "You've done your best, teacher sends you off on your last journey."

Right then, with a bang, the secret chamber wall exploded open, Li Xin not knowing how to activate the chamber's array, but brute force doesn't lie, and this sudden twist stunned Matthew, as Luo Jin unleashed unprecedented power, the giant scythe splitting the stone wall, swinging a life-burning Half Moon Slash.

The red light instantly slit Matthew's throat, the Archbishop's head flew off, displaying an unbelievable expression in mid-air.

Thud, thud, thud… the head rolled to a corner, the headless body struggled vainly, clutching his Half Moon Badge as it fell.

Li Xin saw Luo Jin, Luo Jin's body still burning with divine power, which wouldn't stop until death. Luo Jin's half-torso slumped against the wall, a hole in his chest emitting sizzles as it burned with sacred fire.

Li Xin approached, looking at this scene, not knowing what to say, "Uncle Luo."

Luo Jin's body was almost devoid of strength, but his face forced a smile, "You came, finally heard the smell of something incomparable."

Li Xin held Luo Jin's hand, started infusing spiritual ability, an awe-inspiring horror spiritual ability made Luo Jin realize everyone underestimated Li Xin but shook his head still, "Don't waste effort, divine power has already destroyed it inside, it's the best end for me."

Li Xin's eyes reddened, never considering there were such foolish people in this world.

"Don't be sad, it's what I believe in; tell Lin Fei I'm sorry, only today could I give her justice," Luo Jin said.

Li Xin clenched his fists, "Uncle Luo, don't blame yourself for then, he tried his best."

Luo Jin relaxed, smiling as the sacred fire corroded his remaining life, then looked to the side as if wanting to gaze through the wall at the woman haunting his thoughts.

Kathy…

It was the only light in his lonely life.

Flames extinguished, and a pyramid-shaped object emitting dark gold light emerged from Luo Jin's body, slowly floating.

At this moment, Li Xin's body's dice followed the gleam, one dot turning golden, receiving information in his mind.

First Life Star Activated:

"Justice" — Gain another chance to roll the dice.

Delayed justice is always full of regrets.
