Chapter 1989: Chapter 1989: Light Relics
"Mr. Xiao!"
Seeing Xiao Zheng’s body engulfed by the fire dragon, Long Qie and others on the battlefield below couldn’t help but feel a hint of anxiety in their eyes.
Even Hades, who was fighting with her clone, couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows.
Because within this giant dragon formed by flames, she couldn’t sense even the slightest trace of Xiao Zheng’s presence. It was as if Xiao Zheng had been melted by the flames, disappearing without a trace.
Charles showed a hint of smugness on his face, but soon his smile froze completely.
Because from behind him, suddenly came Xiao Zheng’s cold laughter!
"Didn’t you just tell me to stop looking around?"
"And what about you now?"
Xiao Zheng’s tone was icy, even carrying a hint of mockery.
And right as his words fell, a Sword Qi instantly slashed toward Charles’s back!
What!
Feeling the powerful force coming from behind, Charles was extremely shocked inside!
Fortunately, he was still surrounded by a layer of Light Barrier, and his evasion was timely enough, otherwise, he might really have been injured!
After finally reaching a temporary safe place, Charles looked at Xiao Zheng with surprise and couldn’t help but ask, "When did you appear behind me? Just now, clearly, clearly..."
Not only him, but even Hades not far away was full of confusion.
Because even she hadn’t noticed when Xiao Zheng appeared behind Charles.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "You thought you saw me being swallowed by the fire dragon you summoned, right? You can only blame your blind eyes for not noticing it was just a remnant shadow."
So it was a remnant shadow?
No wonder within the fire dragon’s body, there was no trace of Xiao Zheng’s presence.
Hades’s eyes showed a flash of realization, but she was even more surprised afterward. Because the speed Xiao Zheng exploded with just now at that moment was indeed impressive.
Neither Hades nor Charles could manage to achieve that.
Actually, this was normal. After merging with twenty-five pieces of Golden Bone, Xiao Zheng’s body underwent a transformation. As a result, whether in terms of physical strength or speed, he far exceeded elite warriors of the same realm, even those of higher realms.
Charles’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a hint of hatred.
Being mocked by Xiao Zheng like this, he felt as if his lungs were about to explode with anger.
"Today, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
"Prepare to die!"
Charles roared furiously, then commanded the giant fire dragon spiraling in the sky.
However, a disdainful glint flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
He directly slashed with One Slash, Sword Qi traversing the void, and the fire dragon didn’t even have time to struggle before it was instantaneously obliterated in the void.
Charles’s pupils suddenly contracted, silently thinking that this was bad news.
He immediately unleashed a Holy Light Technique, aiming to slash toward Xiao Zheng.
However, Charles’s speed was ultimately a bit slower than Xiao Zheng’s.
Before the Holy Light Slash could fall, Xiao Zheng had already charged in front of him, and then with a swift motion, slashed again at the Light Barrier.
Clang!
The sound of the clash of steel echoed, and there were even sparks flying!
As for the seemingly unbreakable Light Barrier, it shattered instantly under the power of that slash!
Fortunately, that was as far as it went; Charles, hiding behind the Light Barrier, didn’t sustain any physical damage. But when that massive force attacked, his body was forced back several meters.
"It’s not over yet!"
Xiao Zheng shouted loudly, then quickly charged to Charles’s side.
A flash of the knife, followed by Charles’s scream echoing!
This slash landed squarely on Charles’s body, leaving a terrifyingly gruesome wound on his chest! Blood flowed incessantly, shockingly red!
Charles was stunned, Hades was stunned!
Even the people fighting on the plains were stunned!
Xiao Zheng’s breathtaking slash left everyone in disbelief that he could actually wound Charles! And it seemed Charles was being beaten without the power to fight back, lacking the battle prowess a Peak of Supreme Realm fighter should possess!
"This is impossible!"
"This can’t be possible at all!"
Charles kept shaking his head, his expression filled with disbelief.
However, the severe pain from his chest forced him to face reality.
Charles glanced down at the sinister wound on his chest, his eyes instantly turning fiery red, especially after seeing Xiao Zheng standing not far away, sneering coldly; the hatred in his heart surged forth like crashing waves.
"Very well, you’ve successfully angered me!"
"Evil God Xiao Zheng, today I’ll make sure you understand what despair truly means!"
As Charles spoke, he pulled out a milky-white stone from his arms.
In fact, calling it a stone was an understatement; it was more like a crystal, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight. But what intrigued Xiao Zheng and Hades was the overwhelming power contained within this stone.
This power was immense and exceptionally pure.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown slightly, seemingly uttering subconsciously; "What is this thing?"
Upon hearing this, Charles, enduring the pain, replied with a somewhat crazed expression, "This is a Light Relic, a treasure more precious than holy water bestowed by the gods within our Bright Church."
"It’s a relic left by the Light God; originally three existed, but two were used by our predecessors. Now, in my possession, it’s the last Light Relic."
"I wasn’t planning to use it, but you’ve forced my hand."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and crushed the Light Relic.
Xiao Zheng did not stop Charles throughout the process, because he was also curious to see what function this stone called Light Relic held.
The Light Relic was quickly crushed by Charles, and the immense power contained within erupted instantly.
A dazzling white light swiftly engulfed Charles’s body.
Then, in just two or three seconds, the brilliant white light seemed to be absorbed by Charles, rapidly merging into his body before completely disappearing.
At this moment, the anomaly occurred.
The sinister wound Xiao Zheng left on Charles’s chest had surprisingly healed completely, as if it had never been slashed. Moreover, all internal injuries were healed in this instant.
The momentum of his entire person instantly returned to its peak!
With the familiar power restored, Charles involuntarily emitted a moan, then opened his eyes and laughed sinisterly, "Evil God Xiao Zheng, you managed to hit me just now merely because my internal injuries hadn’t healed yet."
"Now, after absorbing this Light Relic, my injuries are completely healed."
"In my peak state, I’ll show you what a true Peak of Supreme Realm warrior is!"
With Charles’s words falling, a terrifying aura swept across the entire scene instantly!
