Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1560 1555: Holy Cross Slash

The director of the Heresy Court will be stepping down next year, and the First Deputy Director is certain to be promoted. Could it be possible for him to seek the vacant deputy director position?It's precisely because of this goal and ambition that Bro is so driven to continually hunt down dark creatures.

And it's precisely because of this that he has earned the admiration of the influential figures above.

But that's not enough!

He needs more leverage to climb upwards, and hunting members of the Bloodline, especially Advanced ones, becomes particularly important and prominent.

So upon receiving the news that two Bloodline Marquis were leading a group to resurrect a Bloodline Duke,

he didn't hesitate to summon his troops and head towards the castle mentioned in the reports.

He believed that the personnel under his command in the Judgement Institute were sufficient to judge this group of Bloodline.

If the four Bishop Level clergy couldn't rival the two Bloodline Marquis, that would be the greatest joke!

"Injured?!" Bro, upon charging into the hall, immediately noticed the injured Harlow Nopheler.

Although Harlow Nopheler was deeply wounded, the thick dark aura around him was impossible to hide. In this vast castle, the only one whose aura could match his was the old housekeeper from the Nopheler Family.

But even he was not as powerful as Harlow Nopheler.

The attire on Nopheler was particularly striking, and Bros, who had already slain nine Bloodline Marquis, immediately recognized it as the robe worn by Bloodline Marquis from the Middle Ages.

However, he overlooked some details, such as the patterns and emblems on Harlow Nopheler's robe.

As a member of the Thirteen Clans, the family emblem of the Nopheler Family also carried a notable history and unique traits.

Seeing these emblems, ordinary Bloodline would stand in awe.

Even clergy from the Holy See would treat them with caution upon seeing them.

But in his excitement, Bros somehow ignored this.

Those obvious emblems of the Nopheler Family, he completely bypassed.

He only knew that once he killed the Bloodline Marquis in front of him, his count of slain Bloodline Marquis would hit ten!

This achievement would be enough to make him a candidate for the deputy directorship of the Heresy Court.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, the Bloodline Marquis before him seemed severely injured, perhaps due to the side effects of trying to resurrect the Bloodline Duke.

But none of that mattered; he only cared if the Bloodline Marquis in front of him was alive or dead!

"In the name of my Lord, grant you death, Holy Cross Slash!" Bro's eyes blazed with Holy Light, and the previously simple and unadorned Western-style longsword in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

Bro was a Saint Realm High Rank cultivator.

With his power and achievements, he was fully capable of being promoted to Archbishop.

Yet, he didn't aspire to that.

Because he had climbed up from the very bottom of the Heresy Court, he knew all too well the power the Heresy Court wielded.

If he could be promoted to deputy director of the Heresy Court, his status wouldn't be inferior to that of a Cardinal!

Cardinals are the core power of the Holy See, also known as the Cardinals.

If Bro were willing to transfer to an Archbishop, he might be delegated to rule over a diocese somewhere.

But that's absolutely not what he wanted.

To be promoted from Archbishop to Cardinal is practically impossible.

While the Cardinals within the Holy See aren't monopolized by any particular force or faction,

it's exceptionally difficult for an ordinary clergy without any background to become a Cardinal without outstanding talent or exceptionally brilliant achievements.

Nowadays, it's no longer the Middle Ages; the presence of the Holy See exists in almost every corner of the world.

Attempting to develop an unknown diocese, spread the Lord's gospel, and achieve great feats is nearly impossible.

So now, it's created a situation where, to get promoted, besides having extraordinary talent and qualifications, one must rely on accumulating experience.

And the Heresy Court is undeniably one of the best ways to earn achievements.

At least right now, he has become one of the few high-ranking officials in the Heresy Court, barring the director and deputy directors.

Moreover, the forces he commands from the headquarters are among the most elite and formidable within the entire Heresy Court.

It was precisely because of these subordinates that he had the courage to charge into the Nopheler Family castle, where 'two' Bloodline Marquis were stationed.

Unfortunately, this time his luck seemed to run out.

Holy Cross Slash burst forth from his hand, striking towards the injured Harlow Nopheler.

The power of this slash, if it met Harlow Nopheler in his prime, would certainly not injure him in the slightest.

But in this current state, Harlow Nopheler found himself suddenly vulnerable.

If this strike hit him, even if he wasn't reduced to ashes, he would lose half of his life.

A glimmer of fear and regret flashed in Harlow Nopheler's eyes. Had he known Su Chen was this powerful, he would never have acted against Su Chen lightly.

Even though he had made a deal with Su Chen now, he was highly likely to perish.

In an instant, a thousand thoughts raced through Harlow Nopheler's mind as he recalled everything he had experienced over his millennium-long life.

Time seemed to slow down thousands of times.

Why hadn't the slash arrived?

Harlow Nopheler proceeded to open his eyes.

Su Chen's not particularly towering figure stood before him.

"Hmm?"

Bro also let out a sound of surprise; his slash was imbued with tenfold Holy Power, making it extremely tough for even a Bloodline Marquis to withstand.

One misstep could even result in death.

While Harlow Nopheler was a first-class Marquis, he was severely injured.

This strike was sure to claim Harlow Nopheler's life!

But before the slash could land on Harlow Nopheler, it was blocked, leaving Bro utterly stunned.

"You are not Bloodline?"

Bro took a closer look at Su Chen, expressing some surprise.

Su Chen didn't possess the obvious, heavy Bloodline aura characteristic of the Bloodline.

He appeared like a normal human.

And that was why Bro was so astonished.

Aside from the shock of Su Chen being human, he was amazed by Su Chen's presence in the Bloodline castle, even more so by how young Su Chen appeared and what he relied on to block his attack.

The power of this slash was comparable to the magic attacks wielded by Cardinals.

If a third-class Bloodline Marquis didn't dodge critical areas, this slash was likely to claim their life.

Yet Su Chen dared to face it head-on!

All these thoughts raced through Bro's mind in a matter of moments.
