Chapter 1240 - 494: Battle for Destiny

The echoing shouts reverberated, and Zhang Beixing’s figure appeared incomparably grand.

In this world where modernity and fantasy intertwine, the superficial prosperity concealed the lurking crises.

Vampires, the Demon Race, the Holy See—various factions eyed each other, ready to unleash a bloody storm at any moment.

However, Zhang Beixing remained unafraid.

He knew he was born to be the ruler of this era.

Pupil Skill dominated hearts, and Angel’s Wing possessed the divine power to connect heaven and earth.

With the aid of the Persuasion System, he wielded wisdom and power far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"My lord, the people of the Holy See have begun to act."

Richard’s expression was grave, his brows tightly furrowed.

As Zhang Beixing’s most loyal assistant, he constantly monitored the changing situation.

"Has that old fellow Michael finally lost his patience?"

Zhang Beixing laughed coldly, a hint of scorn in his eyes.

Does the trifling Holy See dare to act presumptuously in front of him?

Truly ignorant of life and death.

"My lord, I am willing to serve you unto death and remain eternally loyal!"

Richard kneeled on one knee, his gaze exceptionally determined.

"Me too."

Alina followed, her silver armor gleaming under the sunshine.

As the Vampire Princess, she had long attached her fate to the man before her.

Zhang Beixing glanced around, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

With these two competent subordinates, what couldn’t be achieved?

"Good, if the Holy See wants to play, I’ll play with them."

His eyes flashed with a sharpness that penetrated the soul.

"Send the order: the entire army, prepare for battle."

"Slay on sight, should any trace of the Holy See appear!"

"Understood!"

A thousand troops and horses replied in unison.

The killing intent instantly spread.

Meanwhile, at the distant Church Headquarters.

Countless white-robed Holy Knights were assembling and waiting.

The leader was none other than the mighty Archbishop, Michael!

"That young man Zhang Beixing is indeed an extraordinary figure."

"To have become the overlord of this continent in such a short time..."

"Hmph, mere mortals of the secular world dare to act impudently before my Holy See?"

Michael snorted coldly, his tone disdainful.

"In the name of Holy Light, we shall eradicate such heresy completely!"

Having spoken, he raised his scepter high.

In an instant, a dazzling white light pierced the sky.

It seemed to declare that this war was inevitable.

Zhang Beixing stood on a high platform, hands clasped behind, gazing into the distance.

Tens of thousands of troops were poised and ready.

Murderous intent surged, an unstoppable force.

"The people of the Holy See have finally come."

He curled his lips into a cold smile, his eyes amused.

"Very well, I shall see what those who deem themselves just are capable of."

Richard and Alina followed closely.

One on the left, the other on the right, like Zhang Beixing’s left and right arms.

"That Michael is said to have extremely high cultivation, not beneath that of the Demon Race."

Alina furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her tone worried.

As part of the vampire race, she knew the terrors of these supernatural forces.

"It’s of no concern."

Zhang Beixing was full of confidence, not worried in the slightest.

"With my current strength, how could I place mere Holy See in my eyes?"

"Besides, with the Persuasion System, what do I have to fear?"

[The host speaks true.]

The Persuasion System chimed in leisurely, exuding complete confidence.

[With me as the cheat against the heavens, who else can contend with you?]

[Moreover, if it truly comes to a last resort, I can help you achieve a breakthrough, moving forward another step!]

"Thank you, System."

Zhang Beixing gave a fist salute, gratitude in his heart.

"With your words, I’m even more assured."

With that, he turned, quickly sprinting toward the distant enemy army.

A black robe fluttered, surrounded by a billowing killing aura.

"Michael, it’s time to settle this!"

Boom!

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted.

As the dust settled, the two armies faced off.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

"Zhang Beixing, you’ve finally seen fit to appear?"

Michael sat high on a white horse, overlooking all.

Surrounded by a layer of Holy Light, he seemed like a Celestial God.

"Ha, a self-proclaimed noble hypocrite dares to act presumptuously in front of me?"

Zhang Beixing snorted dismissively, not taking him seriously at all.

"Today, I’ll show you the consequences of offending me!"

With those words, he suddenly lashed out.

A palm struck out, the wind sharp and fierce.

"A mere trick!"

Michael snorted coldly, extending his hand as well.

Crash!

The two forces clashed fiercely in mid-air, unleashing a shocking wave.

Yet in the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

They watched as Michael’s expression suddenly changed, retreating continuously.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"How... how is this possible..."

His eyes widened, disbelief etched on his face.

The honored Archbishop of the Holy See, unable to withstand the assault of a mortal from the secular world?

"What’s this? Is this the Holy Light Power you pride yourself on?"

Zhang Beixing laughed repeatedly, advancing step by step.

"So weak before me?"

"Zhang Beixing, what... what kind of monster are you?!"

Michael gritted his teeth, a wave of unprecedented terror rising in his heart.

The young man before him was unfathomably powerful!

"Who I am doesn’t matter."

Zhang Beixing stood with his hands on his back, looking down on all.

"What matters is, from now on, anyone who blocks my path, I shall see to it they have no place to die!"

"Men, kill them for me!"

Michael finally lost his restraint, madly giving orders.

Countless white-robed warriors rushed forward in clusters.

"Be careful, my lord!"

Seeing the situation, Richard promptly charged with his halberd.

"Leave it to us!"

Alina also bared her fangs at this moment.
