Initially, Avril planned to sit back and watch the tigers fight, observing Xu Fan stir up a storm within the Dark Forces, and then, at the critical moment, whisk away Gongsun Qin.

At most, she would lend Xu Fan a hand when necessary, which was the extent Avril had considered.

After all, Avril was not familiar with Xu Fan and had been fed several doses of dog food by him in the car, which left her quite displeased with Xu Fan.

But when Avril saw Jiang Wu, covered in blood, desperately clutching Xu Fan's door handle, eyes wide with fury, she felt like the whole world paused for a moment, and she could even hear her own intense heartbeat.

Thump thump thump!

Immediately, Avril resolutely activated the spiritual power within her, summoning the Holy Light, and charged towards the bats ahead.

For what purpose?

Avril did not think much.

Just like the line in the Bible, emblazoned on the front page, the darker the world, the more it needs light.

Holding the Sword of Light, Avril now exuded an incredibly terrifying killing intent.

Meanwhile, the waiter retreating to the corner showed an expression of joy on his face, pale as paper.

"This aura, it's so pure!"

"It seems there is no so-called Grand Archpriest; the energy that frightened the Duke actually emanates from this little girl!"

White light transformed into droplets of light rain, slowly dissipating.

Dozens of bats regrouped and flew out again from the corner, spitting out blood-colored energy arrows towards Avril and Gongsun Qin.

Gongsun Qin dodged all the Blood Arrows, which splattered on the wall, quickly corroding a deep small hole through the Vajra stone-made wall.

Meanwhile, Avril wielded her broad sword, shattering the rain-like Blood Arrows.

However, being inside the narrow corridor, both Avril with her Broad Sword of Light and Gongsun Qin found it difficult to wield fully.

In contrast, the dozens of bats possessed an advantage, cooperating to force Avril and Gongsun Qin into a retreat, facing danger after danger.

Each of these bats at least possesses Viscount-level strength, capable of transforming into human form, serving as stalwarts of the Dark Forces, and in a blink, they pushed the two women to the brink of desperation.

Gongsun Qin had just broken through to the early Entering Dao Realm, unfamiliar with her powers, hastily engaged in battle, and now under the siege of dozens of bats with no weaker strength than her own, she was already facing danger, even with Avril's protection, flaws began to appear.

As Gongsun Qin dodged a Blood Arrow, exposing her back, an electrically swift bat lunged towards Gongsun Qin's snow-white neck, baring vicious fangs.

Although ordered to capture the missionary alive, the energy fluctuations within Gongsun Qin clearly did not belong to a missionary; the true missionary was none other than the girl next to her wielding the broad sword.

Thus, every offensive against Gongsun Qin was filled with endless killing intent.

Facing this lightning-fast strike, Gongsun Qin was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the bat bared its fangs and lunged at her neck, the early Entering Dao Realm strength proving far too inadequate before this group of bats!

At that moment, Avril erupted with a brilliant white light.

Buzz!

The energy waves in the air seemed to boil at that instant, buzzing and resonating.

Currently, Avril, akin to an angel, slowly raised her broad sword, causing all the bats in the space to sluggishly follow suit.

Avril held the Broad Sword of Light high above her head, then chopped heavily at the void ahead.

"Holy Light Judgment!"

Avril's clear voice turned somewhat neutral, full of majesty, full of loftiness.

In the next moment, the milky Holy Light seemed to be cleaved by Avril's Broad Sword of Light, spilling across the entire space.

The entire space became thick and viscous, like mud, as dozens of Entering Dao Realm bats, including Gongsun Qin, desperately struggled within the mire, getting doused by the incoming Holy Light.

Gongsun Qin felt a soft breeze against her face, her body's every pore opening and hungrily absorbing the Spring-like Holy Light, instantly dispelling all fatigue, leaving her entire being so comfortable she almost moaned.

Meanwhile, the dozens of bats desperately struggling in the mire failed to make a sound, vanishing like melting snow in the sunlight.

Just by casting a single move, Avril wiped out dozens of bats possessing powers comparable to her own!

However, having executed such a move, Avril seemed in distress, leaning against the Broad Sword of Light, half-kneeling and panting heavily.

The lofty aura once resonating from Avril transformed into melancholy.

Avril, akin to an angel, reverted back to a mortal, while before them, the waiter's expression remained placid.

The life and death of mere Viscounts held little importance.

At this moment, everyone had understood this blue-haired girl, with mere Earl-level strength, defeated scores of Viscounts, her identity undeniably mysterious!

If captured and handed to Baron As, it would definitely be a great accomplishment!

Currently, the waiter, observing coldly, clapped and released more bats, flying out from the passage on either side.

The slaughter resumed.

Avril, once again, forced herself to wield the Broad Sword of Light, hacking at the numerous bats, adopting a dramatic Swordsmanship style, while countless Blood Arrows were directly hitting Avril.

Yet every time a Blood Arrow struck Avril, a milky white halo radiated from her, shattering the Blood Arrow.

However, Avril was not faring well, the siege of bats left Avril showing fatigue, with Gongsun Qin stumbling and on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

The bats were likewise suffering heavy losses, with Avril exchanging injuries using the Shield of Light, exterminating numerous bats.

Now, Avril and Gongsun Qin were left completely devoid of spiritual power, their physical strength utterly drained.

The reason they managed to stay standing was merely due to sheer willpower.

Gongsun Qin's belief was to prevent the bats from interfering with Xu Fan; they must endure as long as they can because Xu Fan might awaken from his world at any moment, and with his power, he would surely escape these bats.

Meanwhile, Avril's faith centered on the belief in light and disdain for darkness.

Despite having depleted her spiritual power, Avril was still quietly muttering, "God says, the darker the place, the more it needs light!"

It seemed like someone heard Avril's whispers, and a voice filled with amusement suddenly sounded, "God? Where is he?"
