Chapter 1949: Chapter 1949: Ambushing the Evil God!
The Bright Church’s response speed could not be called slow.
Yet even after sending out all their experts, they still couldn’t stop Xiao Zheng’s slaughter.
Xiao Zheng was playing guerrilla warfare with the Bright Church’s experts; every time those masters rushed over after getting the news, they would inevitably come up empty-handed!
Just tonight, Xiao Zheng had already killed two more Saint Heirs in a row!
When this piece of news spread, the whole of Europe was shaken once again!
Now, whether they favored the Bright Church or favored Xiao Zheng, everyone had to admire what he was doing! Xiao Zheng’s current actions, even if not unmatched in the future, were definitely unprecedented in the past!
In one night, Xiao Zheng gained a large number of fans!
He even had a support club spring up!
Luckily Xiao Zheng was too busy killing to know any of this, otherwise he would definitely feel both amused and helpless. No matter where you are, there will never be a shortage of people who just love to watch the spectacle.
After walking the Bright Church’s experts like walking a dog for a while, Xiao Zheng found a place to rest for the time being.
After all, he had been rushing around for a full day and night and killed so many people. Even though he was a Supreme Realm expert, with internal qi in a state of endless regeneration, he still felt exhausted.
After a good sleep, when Xiao Zheng woke up again, he was once more full of energy.
At this point, he already held the twenty‑fourth piece of Golden Bone in his hand.
But five of them had not yet been implanted into his body. Currently, Xiao Zheng had only implanted nineteen pieces of Golden Bone. Even so, his body had already undergone earth‑shaking changes.
Xiao Zheng could clearly feel that his strength had once again increased.
If it came down to a life‑and‑death duel, without resorting to hidden trump cards, he had at least a ninety percent chance of killing a Mid Marvelous Realm expert across realms!
In other words, Xiao Zheng’s combat power was now infinitely close to the Peak of Supreme Realm!
Although his current cultivation stage was still at Early-stage Perfect Realm, that did not affect his performance in the slightest!
"If time weren’t so tight, I’d really want to implant these remaining five pieces of Golden Bone as well. It’s just a pity that the Bright Church’s tracking on me is getting more and more precise. I have to kill the last person on the list before they find me."
Xiao Zheng once more took out that blood‑stained letter from his pocket. There were a total of ten names written on it.
By now, only one of those ten still lived in this world. The other nine had long since been sent by him to keep the Light God company.
Allen Burbank.
Looking at the only lucky one left on the list, a faint smile slowly surfaced on Xiao Zheng’s face. "Number fifteen in sequence. I wonder if this lucky one I left for last has mentally prepared himself."
"I’ve rested a day. Time to move again."
He muttered as if talking to himself, then put away the blood letter.
If Allen Burbank heard how Xiao Zheng was calling him, he’d probably be dying to curse out loud: "This kind of ’lucky one’, whoever the hell wants it can have it!"
Unfortunately, he couldn’t hear Xiao Zheng’s words.
After putting away the blood letter, Xiao Zheng immediately set out, heading for Mingwa City where Allen Burbank was located.
This was a city with a population in the millions. Although it wasn’t as prosperous as Nodding City under Arthur’s control, it sat on a key waterway, and thus counted as a major international metropolis.
When Xiao Zheng arrived in Mingwa City, the place was still bustling; there wasn’t the slightest sign of public panic. It was as if yesterday’s upheaval had never affected them at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help feeling a trace of doubt in his heart.
But he didn’t think too much about it and slowly walked toward the Bright Temple situated in the city center.
As he drew closer and closer to the Temple, he finally noticed some anomalies from the surrounding environment. In the shadows near the Temple, many experts were hiding.
Clearly, Mingwa City had not escaped the impact of Xiao Zheng’s hunting plan; they’d merely hidden their panic from the open into the dark.
Sensing those faint auras lurking in the dark, the corner of Xiao Zheng’s mouth unconsciously curved in a mocking smile. After a small shake of his head, he quickened his pace and soon arrived at the gates of the Bright Temple.
When he reached the Temple gate, he found the defenses here were even stricter than elsewhere.
Almost the instant Xiao Zheng stopped walking, countless hostile gazes fell on him.
"So they’ve already found me?"
"Since that’s the case, there’s no need for me to hide anymore."
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, and in the next instant, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
In just that instant, a sizable commotion broke out across Mingwa City!
"We’re under attack!"
"Evil God Xiao Zheng has finally shown up!"
"Hurry and report to the lord, have the Church send reinforcements immediately!"
Near the Temple, the experts hidden in the dark finally revealed themselves.
The weakest among them were at the Great Grandmaster level, and there was no shortage of Martial Saint Realm experts as well. Unlike the flustered experts in the other cities Xiao Zheng had visited, these people seemed to have been prepared for a long time.
A group of people quickly formed a battle line in front of the Temple’s buildings!
These experts from the Bright Church all stared at Xiao Zheng like tigers eyeing their prey!
However, Xiao Zheng’s attention was not on them.
He could clearly feel that inside the Temple, another expert was hiding—someone whose cultivation was stronger than all these people before him. Right after the formation finished assembling, that expert shot out from the Temple!
Yes, shot out—flying!
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes. He hadn’t expected there to be a Supreme Realm powerhouse stationed in the Bright Temple of Mingwa City. But he quickly calmed down. After all, just a few days ago, a Supreme Realm expert of the Bright Church had died at his hands.
"Evil God Xiao Zheng!"
"I’ve finally run into you!"
That Supreme Realm expert from the Bright Church slowly descended from the sky, his gaze locking firmly onto Xiao Zheng.
He looked around seventy or eighty years old, though his actual age was certainly much greater.
Hair and beard both white, he wore a white robe embroidered with divine patterns.
Just a few days ago, Xiao Zheng had seen the same style of clothing on Joshua. Clearly, this sudden Supreme Realm expert shared the same status as Joshua—both were Archbishops of the Bright Church.
"Appetizers are done. The main course finally hits the table."
Looking at the Archbishop from the Bright Church before him, the smile on Xiao Zheng’s face grew even brighter.
