Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Collapse of Faith (Six More Updates)

Upon seeing the two opponents charging at them, Su Mingyue knew that an intense battle was unavoidable today.

Since there was no other choice, the only option was to fight. She could not agree to either of the two conditions set by the opponents.

Su Mingyue drew her sword and charged head-on towards Ahua, the Spiritual Mind Master on the opposing side.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu and Yingying went forward together to face Lao San.

As soon as Su Mingyue crossed swords with Ahua, she realized that today’s battle would be tough. The opponent’s strength was not inferior to her own. After all, Ahua had been trapped inside the Star Fruit Tree for three years, reaching the peak of the War General realm, while Su Mingyue still had room for improvement.

Moreover, her opponent was a Spiritual Mind Master. Su Mingyue’s hidden weapon was a flying knife, while Ahua used several flying shuttles. In the midst of sword and knife clashes, their hidden weapons collided repeatedly in mid-air, making it hard to tell who was superior.

However, this kind of fight was extremely dangerous. When experts engaged in combat, a single misstep could lead to a crushing defeat, making it impossible for anyone to help their comrades.

As a result, the key to victory lay in the fight between Tang Yu and Yingying against Lao San.

Lao San was a natural-born Divine Speedster with an inconceivable speed. When Tang Yu clashed with him, he realized that Lao San had not been using his full strength earlier and had been deliberately hiding his true abilities.

Even when Tang Yu and Yingying joined forces, they were still forced back continuously.

The sneak attack by Tang Yu’s flying knife was useless as Lao San’s reaction speed was astonishingly fast. Unable to land any significant hits, Tang Yu and Yingying could only bite the bullet and hold on.

Twenty minutes into the fight, a turning point occurred.

Lao San dodged Tang Yu’s sword and swiftly struck, slashing across Yingying’s hack. causing her to scream and fall. apable to continue fighting-

Facing Lao San alone, Tang Yu was powerless. Three minutes later, Lao San seized an opportunity to stab him through the thigh, causing him to fall miserably to the ground, unable to even wield his flying knife.

Having defeated two opponents in a row, Lao San quickly went to support Ahua. The two united and overwhelmed Su Mingyue, who finally could no longer hold her ground.

Both opponents were skilled at combining their attacks. After a head-on collision, Su Mingyue let out a low cry, and her delicate body was hurled more than ten meters back, slamming hard against a tree trunk. Though her injuries weren’t serious, her chest was heaving, making it difficult to get back on her feet.

“We finally dealt with her. She was really tricky. If we hadn’t joined forces, I might have even lost to her,” one of them said.

“Hehe, it was really exhausting. Luckily, that couple was so weak; otherwise, we might have failed today,” the other replied.

Ahua and Lao San were both panting. The prolonged fight had left them somewhat drained, but they had managed to persist and win.

Struggling to suppress the surging blood in her chest, Su Mingyue turned her head to look at Tang Yu and Yingying, who were leaning on each other. Without hesitation, she asked urgently, “How are you two doing?”

Tang Yu frowned in pain, “Mingyue, I’m severely injured and can’t fight anymore.”

His leg was already wrapped with cloth but was still soaking through with blood.

Yingying’s back had also been bandaged while Su Mingyue was fighting the two enemies.

Su Mingyue took a deep breath, “Don’t be afraid. We still have the ability to fight to the death. Even if we die, we will take at least one of them down. At most, we will return to the embrace of the True God of the Stars. We’ll never let them succeed.”

On the other side, Ahua laughed again, ‘Su Saintess, not everyone has the same dedication to their faith as you. Perhaps there is no one in this world who believes in the True God as much as you do. But what does that matter? Will your precious God save you right now?”

Su Mingyue lifted her head resolutely, “If the True God doesn’t save me, it means my faith is not strong enough.”

“Give it up. If your level of faith isn’t enough, whose is? What’s the use of such a difficult-to-reach level of faith in God? You’d be better off following me and living a carefree life.”

As he spoke, Ahua walked over, intending to lift Su Mingyue’s chin with his hand.

Suddenly, Su Mingyue raised her hand, revealing a small mirror that emitted a faint white light, “This is the Star-gazing Mirror you wanted. Do you still want

The Star-gazing Mirror is a treasure of the God’s Grace Cathedral, rumoured to be from the ancient divine ruins and not originating from Earth. Though the mirror offers no help in battle, it allows the viewer to see the Boundless Starry Sky regardless of the weather or time of day.

It’s said that a past Divine Sect member even reached the Meteor Stage and saw more incredible sights through the mirror, but nobody knows what exactly they saw.

However, the treasure has been passed down and at one point, someone even offered 50 billion to buy it from the God’s Grace Cathedral but was unsuccessful.

Upon seeing the Star-gazing Mirror, Ahua’s eyes lit up, ‘Yes, that’s the treasure! Little girl, will you give it to me?”

Su Mingyue shook her head, “Unless you let us go, I won’t give it to you, and I will destroy it immediately.”

Hua sneered, “Don’t play tricks with me, little girl. With your level of faith, there’s no way you’d willingly give me this treasure. It’s better if you obediently hand it over with both hands. Otherwise, I’ll kill these two first.”

Lao San walked over and raised the knife towards Tang Yu and Yingying.

Seeing that the opponents were not fooled, Su Mingyue took a deep breath: “You all better stop dreaming. I will destroy this thing and commit suicide. You won’t get your way. As for my companions, we are all prepared to return to the embrace of the True God at any moment.”

“Really? Let’s see if your companions have as strong a backbone as you,” Hua said, and with a wave of his hand, Lao San was about to make his move. At this moment, Yingying suddenly burst into tears: “Mingyue, I don’t want to die!”

Su Mingyue was taken aback, then said angrily: “Yingying, we are all believers of the Deity. After death, we’ll return to the divine realm. What are you afraid

“That’s what you think, and only you think that way. We’re not like you. For all these years, who has seen what the Deities really look like? Perhaps the Deities are just some more powerful Martial Artists. We joined the Divine Sect merely to gain more respect from others. Who would actually die for an illusory Deity? You’re being foolish.”

Su Mingyue looked at her former companion in disbelief, listening to her hysterical screams, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

Yingying continued: “What’s so good about that broken mirror? Just give it to them, and at least the three of us can survive.”

Su Mingyue hurriedly said: “But they have a second condition.”

Yingying hesitated for a moment: “That’s not a big deal either. Just think of it as being bitten by a dog — it won’t take away any flesh. In your eyes, is your chastity more important than the lives of Tang Yu and me? Would you rather watch us die than sacrifice a little? You’re so selfish!”

“I’m selfish?” Su Mingyue was dumbfounded. Yingying’s words seemed irrefutable, but shouldn’t some things be more precious than life?

“Tang Yu, what do you say?” Su Mingyue looked at Tang Yu with a hint of hope, hoping he could say something different.

Tang Yu hesitated for a moment and then said solemnly: ‘Mingyue, those who understand the times are wise. Even Deities may have times when they have no control over their circumstances. You know how deeply I love you, and although you may be humiliated this time, I won’t despise you. I’ll be waiting for the day when you come back to me.”

“What are you saying?” Su Mingyue couldn’t believe her own ears.

Of course, she had noticed Tang Yu’s affection for her, but Su Mingyue planned to dedicate her entire life to the Deity, and could only apologize to Tang Yu. Moreover, she never found love appealing nor ever experienced such feelings.

In her eyes, Tang Yu should be a devout believer like herself, otherwise, how could he be a disciple of the Great Divine Sect?

But his words had completely overturned her understanding of him.

The huge shock hit her soul, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

“How about it? How about it, little girl? Look at your so-called companions and listen to their words. Stop clinging to your illusory Deity. What’s real is right in front of you. Give me the Star-gazing Mirror, and you’ll find happiness.”

Yingying continued: ‘Mingyue, agree to his conditions. Otherwise, we’ll die. From now on, Tang Yu and I will always be together with you, okay?” Tang Yu also nodded slightly, still appearing very gentlemanly.

Watching the two holding hands, Su Mingyue suddenly gave a faint smile.

She rarely smiled, but this smile was beautiful, like a hundred flowers blooming, leaving everyone in the room momentarily stunned.

“I will remember what you said, but everyone has their own persistence. I’m sorry, but we’re not on the same path. I won’t agree to these conditions. If you two have a chance to live, please take my body back to God’s Grace Cathedral… Never mind, just leave me here. I don’t want to go back.”

With the sword across her throat, tears streamed down Su Mingyue’s face: “Is there really no Deity? What kind of faith will it take for you to save me? If there is a next life, I won’t believe in you anymore!”

In fact, she couldn’t destroy such a treasure — her claim that she could was simply a bluff.

Hua realized something was wrong and that he hadn’t expected this woman to be so uncompromising. He wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

However, at that moment, a flying knife suddenly appeared out of nowhere and fiercely knocked Su Mingyue’s sword away.

“Who is it?”

Everyone turned to look.

From a tree vine above, Lin Zhen was wearing her armor and a glimpse of her underwear could be seen as she hung there like on a swing, shaking her head and saying, “Su Saintess, I have heard that during your assessment, you were able to stand strong against Yan Qiyue. Martial Artists, regardless of who is in front of us or how powerful they are, should always have the courage to fight.. Are you really going to lose faith because of these two rotten potatoes and rotten bird eggs? That’s not the Su Saintess I know!”
