Chapter 7

Myron Hope didn’t realize that this pale-faced man was actually so strong. Even the boxer he hired at a high price wasn’t a match for him and was easily defeated.

It seems this person isn’t as simple as they appear. To avoid losing face, Myron Hope has no choice but to play his last card.

“It seems you’re not as worthless as I thought, Bishop Cumberland! Come out.”

For the sake of his face, Myron Hope played his last card. If he lost again, he wouldn’t even have the face to stay here.

Jim Milne watched as a middle-aged man with a fierce expression stepped forward from behind Myron Hope. He thought to himself, “Interesting. I didn’t expect Birmingham to have such hidden talents.”

At this moment, Ida Nahum outside realized that something was wrong inside, so she rushed in immediately.

“Your Majesty, let me handle this. This person isn’t ordinary. It’s also a good opportunity for me to practice my skills,” said Ada Nahum.

“Okay, be careful. His strength is probably much weaker than yours. But I have a feeling he might try to play dirty.” Jim Milne said in a low voice.

“There’s no need for my boss to get involved. Killing you is enough,” said Ada Nahum, with no expression on her face.

"Heh, what are you stalling for? I’d really like to see what kind of ability you have to kill me!"

Upon hearing Ada Nahum’s words, the Bishop of Cumberland’s expression turned fierce. A presence akin to that of a temple guard, yet distinct from it, emanated from his body.

It feels a bit oppressive.

Aida Nahum smiled. Nannan thought to herself, “Temple guards, at last, I get a chance to prove my true strength!”

Ida Nahum stared at Bishop Cumberland with a determined look in her eyes!

Bishop Cumberland spread his wings and flew into the sky. Looking down at Ada Nahum, who resembled a worm on the ground, he smirked coldly.

“Let me see if the giant wings I’ve created satisfy your tastes,” laughed Bishop Cumberland.

Then, the possessed entity rushed downward toward Ada Nahum, aiming to use the force of the impact to crush her completely!

Ida Nahum sneered at Bishop Cumberland. Without dodging or avoiding, she leaped forward to meet Bishop Cumberland’s attack head-on!

“Bang!”

The collision of the two punches created a massive energy wave instantly, sending both figures flying backward along with it!

Bishop Cumberland was slightly better off. After being flung dozens of meters into the air, he managed to stabilize himself. Taking a deep breath, his eyes revealed a look of horror.

As for Ada Nahum, she had a slightly worse fate. She crashed straight to the ground, creating a large hole and kicking up countless clouds of dust!

When the dust settled, Ada Nahum’s clothes were slightly tattered. She shook the dust off her hands and glanced at Bishop Cumberland in the sky, a cold smile on her lips.

Bishop Cumberland snorted coldly, then rushed at Ada Nahum once more with a flash of motion. Yet, neither side gained the upper hand.

After a few rounds, the Bishop of Cumberland felt a slight chill run down his spine.

The two struggled for a while. Bishop Cumberland couldn’t manage to overcome Ada Nahum. Frustrated, he moved to the side and aimed at Jim Milne, who was behind Ada Nahum.

Ida Nahum glared angrily, then punched Bishop Cumberland right in the face.

Bishop Cumberland never expected Ada Nahum to have such strength. He quickly raised his arm to block her attack. For a moment, he became unsteady on his feet and swayed slightly.

In a battle between masters, even the slightest mistake can lead to defeat!

Ida Nahum seized the opportunity, concentrating all her strength in one palm strike, and launched it at Bishop Cumberland before her!

The Bishop of Cumberland realized he couldn’t launch a surprise attack on the others. He snapped out of his daze and continued to fight against Ada Nahum. Their palms met in battle.

“Bang!”

Another palm strike was launched. But this time, Ada Nahum felt much less pressure. She was pushed back only about ten meters before coming to a stop.

Bishop Cumberland stared at his own hands, which alternated between feeling hot and cold. His gaze held a strange expression.

“Gu Wu, you actually know how to use ancient martial arts like that!”

Bishop Cumberland found it hard to believe, staring at Ada Nahum as she spoke.

However, Ada Nahum was even more surprised than Bishop Cumberland. Bishop Cumberland looked entirely like a European. How could he possibly understand the ancient martial arts of the hermit clans?

Ida Nahum narrowed her eyes and said to Bishop Cumberland, “How do you know about ancient martial arts?”

Hearing Ada Nahum’s words, Bishop Cumberland couldn’t help but snort. His giant wings suddenly unfolded behind him. But this time, Ada Nahum clearly saw that on Bishop Cumberland’s right wing, there was a sword mark left by a mage!

Bishop Cumberland looked at Ada Nahum and said, “A few years ago, I fought against a martial artist wielding a sword. His sword techniques wounded my right wing. This scar is a reminder of that battle.”

As the Bishop of Cumberland spoke, it seemed he still harbored concerns regarding that sword strike from years ago. His expression revealed a hint of fear.

Ida Nahum looked at him and said, “Oh, really? So what happened after that? Why didn’t he kill you?”

Bishop Cumberland snorted coldly, “Hmph, poor luck for him. I hit him right in the heart, and he fell right before my eyes!”

After speaking, Bishop Cumberland pointed at Ada Nahum and said coldly, “I admit you’re strong. But sadly, your fate today will be the same as his!”

Ida Nahum chuckled and said, “Is that so? Then let’s see if you actually have the ability to do it!”

As soon as Ada Nahum finished speaking, her figure vanished from where she stood. When she reappeared, she was already behind the Bishop of Cumberland. She gathered her strength in her palms once more and released it suddenly.

Bishop Cumberland sneered. Suddenly, a mysterious force erupted from his body, sending Ada Nahum flying away!

Ida Nahum steadied herself, looking at her slightly darkened palms, and let out a soft sigh.

“Poison!”

Ida Nahum narrowed her eyes and immediately made a cut on her hand, using her internal energy to expel the toxins. A few seconds later, Ida Nahum’s palm returned to its normal color.

However, in the eyes of Bishop Cumberland, Ada Nahum felt a hint of wariness.

Bishop Cumberland smiled, then rushed toward Ada Nahum. By now, Bishop Cumberland’s hands had grown two additional claws, emitting a chilling glow!

Ida Nahum drew her Black Water Knife from behind her. The swordsmanship of the Divine Knife Sect was instantly manifested in her hands. The peerless swordsmanship inherited from the elders of the Divine Knife Sect became even more exquisite in Ida Nahum’s hands!

Although the Bishop of Cumberland’s claws were coated with deadly poison, they were ineffective against Ada Nahum’s swordsmanship. For the time being, the Bishop couldn’t do much to counter her.

Ida Nahum was facing a temple guard of such strength for the first time. With only a third-level martial arts skill, she found it quite difficult to deal with Bishop Cumberland.

Ida Nahum narrowed her eyes and suddenly exerted force with her legs, slashing at the Bishop of Cumberland’s wings. Yet, the Blackwater Blade merely left streaks of fire on the bishop’s wings, without causing any actual damage!

Upon seeing this, Ada Nahum instinctively took several steps back to avoid the Bishop of Cumberland’s attack, then readjusted her stance.

Bishop Cumberland said to Ada Nahum, “It’s useless. During our earlier encounter, I already figured out your strength. As long as you can’t use your palms effectively, I have no fear of you at all!”

Ida Nahum snorted coldly, gripping the Blackwater Knife even tighter. With a mocking tone, she said, “Is that so? Then how dare you block my blade!”

Ida Nahum let out a loud cry, and ripples spread across the blade!

Ida Nahum leaped forward, charging at Bishop Cumberland with a blade that seemed to carry the force of wind and thunder!
