Abaton grew more frantic, once again hurling forth a wave of venomous locusts! These locusts were even more potent than those released before—fierce and relentless, they surged directly toward the face of the Goddess of Victory. Should the toxic hooks of these locusts catch the Goddess’s face, the poison would immediately take effect. At this moment, Gao Liang, though fearless, found himself unable to activate his risk-mitigation ability in time. With that, both Gao Liang and Ying'er leapt into the air, launching a joint assault toward the advancing locusts. Together, their swords—Zhan Tian and Bing Po Han Guang—combined to generate a powerful force. "Husband! We must eliminate them within three seconds!" After speaking, Ying'er severed the incoming locusts with her Bing Po Han Guang blade. Yet, simultaneously, dozens of other venomous locusts surged forward. Recognizing the urgency, Gao Liang knew he had no choice—he must summon the Golden Bell Encasement technique from the Shaolin Monastery. Only then could the Goddess of Victory and Ying'er remain safe. First, defend. Then, attack. Highlighted indicated that Ying'er and the Victory Goddess were leaning against each other. At this moment, Highlight quietly channeled his inner strength and murmured low, "Golden Shell! Golden Shell!" As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual energy began to regulate, forming a powerful energy shield around him—like a golden bell casing. Ying'er, the Victory Goddess, and Highlight were all within this golden shell. "Crack! Crack! Crack!" The waves of flying locusts surged in, directly striking the golden shell. For Highlight, this golden shell functioned as an energy protective barrier. The flying locusts were forcefully hit by the shield, each one dazed and disoriented. Not a single locust could harm Highlight, the Victory Goddess, or Ying'er, which enraged Abaddon. He then stepped forward and stomped down. At this moment, Highlight and Ying'er executed a swift dual-sword maneuver, their two swords blazing with brilliant light. Their stance shifted from defense to offense. "Ah! My goodness!" "Abaddon's iron foot was severely wounded as a chunk of flesh was torn from it. With the two swords united, the spectacular move 'Skyborne Swords'—a sequence of thirty-six stances and seventy-two techniques—was flawlessly executed by Gao Liang and Ying'er, leaving Abaddon dazzled. As soon as he hesitated, a sword stroke pierced his foot, causing him immense pain and prompting him to lift his foot in a loud, wailing cry. The Goddess of Victory seized the opportunity to pour the purified water over Abaddon's head. "Oh!" As the water touched Abaddon's head, he was wracked with unbearable pain—far more intense than when the dove had previously pecked out his eyes. "Abaddon! If you now kneel, repent, and acknowledge your guilt, it's still within reach. But should you persist in your defiance, then, I need say no more about your fate," the Goddess of Victory declared, her tone resolute. Abaddon deeply resented the Goddess of Victory. Despite his pain, he raised his fist and struck her fiercely. Abaddon did not anticipate that, though he was swift, there was someone even faster. At that moment, G "A tremendous sound, echoing across the heavens, erupted from above. 'Ah! My goodness! What on earth!' Abaddon couldn't believe it—his own fist was being pressed down by a blazing, massive金刚 punch from above. Though it appeared that Abaddon's fist could shatter a Saint-Michel mountain, as Highlight had said, 'Everything is just paper tigers!' Highlight's金刚 punch was truly forged through rigorous practice—powerful, relentless, and precise. As it descended, the air itself crackled with the sound of being torn apart. Abaddon's fist was shattered into severe fractures! Yet, Highlight wasn't done. He exchanged a glance with Ying'er, and together they combined their strength, reactivating the Twin Sword Flying Technique. The sword tips angled sharply, directly targeting a vital point on Abaddon's body. 'Oh!' Ying'er's Ice-Soul Cold-Light Sword pierced Abaddon's lower body, sending him gasping in pain. 'Whoa!' A roar like that of a pig being slaughtered erupted from Abaton—his throat had been precisely pierced by Gao Liang's Celestial Sword, striking exactly at his vital point. At that moment, Abaton's other leg was poised to kick the Saint-Michel Mountain, but all his efforts were in vain, as Gao Liang and Ying'er had already gained an irresistible advantage in demanding their lives. Abaton began to fall, heavily, crashing down. His body plummeted from the sky into the sea, vanishing completely. My husband is in danger, for if Highlight were to plunge directly into the sea, he would surely meet a perilous fate. Ying'er immediately summoned her strength, shouting proudly in the air, as the blade of the Ice-Purity Cold-Light Sword precisely met the tip of the Sky-Splitting Sword. "Clang! Clang!" The two blades struck together, emitting sharp resonances. Despite Ying'er's strength, Highlight's sheer power was too great to be held back—then, the goddess of victory stepped in. On a small flat boat, she exerted her strength, perfectly supporting Ying'er's body. "Ah! Mmm!" By sheer coincidence, Highlight's lips met the goddess's. The goddess blushed deeply. She immediately pushed him away, and in doing so, our Highlight collided warmly and fully with Ying'er. Ying'er lay in the warm, solid embrace of Highlight, falling into a state of blissful unconsciousness. Meanwhile, Abaddon had already launched his assault beneath the small flat boat. A tremendous wave was about to capsize a slender boat. Gao Liang, with keen eyes and swift movements, slipped into the sea from the other side of the boat, his body pressed against it, silently observing the sea's movements. Soon, the Gathering Eye detected a massive creature—resembling a crocodile—using its sharp teeth to gnaw at the boat. Gao Liang's mind flashed with inspiration. He would use high-energy sulfur explosive charges. Gao Liang still had a bundle of spare high-energy sulfur explosive charges. As the crocodile opened its massive jaws, he swiftly inserted the charge into its mouth without warning. Then, Gao Liang immediately pulled Ying'er and the Victory Goddess beneath the waves, setting off toward the distant horizon. Behind them, a massive explosion erupted—the boat was lifted into the air, and the great beast, now taking the form of a crocodile, which was actually Abaddon's form beneath the sea, was reduced to fragments. At this moment, Gao Liang's high-energy sulfur explosive charges truly revealed their full power. Abaton was shattered—no, turned to ash, utterly vanished. The entire Mont-Saint-Michel remained safe, the great cathedral of Mont-Saint-Michel remained safe, France remained safe, and the world remained safe. Ten thousand pilgrims stood in prayer, their voices bright with supplication: "It has been the devils who have blinded us. Now, Lord, our God, come among us, and let us see the light!"
