Chapter 1999: Chapter 1999: Awakening
Whether it’s the Western alien races or the Eastern martial cultivators.
The Dantian is a place to store vital energy, and for cultivators, it is considered the most important part of the human body. It’s like a second heart; if severely damaged, it can lead to the destruction of one’s cultivation or even endanger one’s life.
As for the importance of the head, there’s no need to say more.
Xiao Zheng and Hades acted this time with the intention of completely killing Gabriel.
As they struck, Gabriel was once again knocked flying.
This time, after falling to the ground, he never got up again.
Looking at Gabriel lying motionless in a pool of blood, completely devoid of life, the panting Xiao Zheng finally sheathed his blade. After such a long period of high-intensity combat, even he was feeling somewhat exhausted.
Hades wasn’t doing much better either.
His face was slightly pale, and his breath was very unstable.
"Is he dead now?"
Xiao Zheng walked over to Hades and asked.
Although he felt very tired at the moment, his tone still carried a hint of relief.
After all, they had slain a powerful enemy, a Church God from the legendary Bright Church, a master whose cultivation exceeded the Supreme Realm. This undoubtedly made Xiao Zheng feel quite satisfied.
Hades nodded and said, "I don’t sense any life in him; he should be dead."
"Since that’s the case, let’s go back." Xiao Zheng said, "We’ve done what we needed; there’s no point in staying any longer."
As he spoke, he touched the black box he was holding.
Inside this small wooden box were seven pieces of Golden Bone, treasures more important to Xiao Zheng than life itself. He felt an urgent desire to return home immediately and integrate these seven pieces of Golden Bone into his body.
"Let’s go."
Hades nodded and said.
The two then turned to leave.
However, before they could get far, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from behind them!
In an instant, both turned around in shock!
In Xiao Zheng’s vision, Gabriel, who had lost all signs of life and was lying in a pool of blood, began to slowly float into the air. The terrifying aura had erupted from his body.
"He’s actually still alive!"
Xiao Zheng found it hard to believe, feeling a sense of absurdity.
He could swear that his previous two strikes had surely shattered Gabriel’s Qi Sea. With such severe injuries, even if Gabriel didn’t die, he shouldn’t have such powerful strength; it didn’t make sense!
Yet such an illogical event was happening right in front of Xiao Zheng!
"Just be careful with everything."
Hades said.
Xiao Zheng nodded, and even without her reminder, he didn’t dare to be careless.
The terrifying aura had subsided, and Gabriel opened his eyes again. This time, his gaze was no longer empty, initially showing a trace of confusion, then becoming incredibly clear.
"It seems the Bright Church has reached its end."
"Even if I wake up now, it looks like it’s too late."
Gabriel’s lips parted as he slowly spoke.
He had completely awakened!
The first time hearing this legendary Church God speak, Xiao Zheng’s eyes widened in surprise, but soon his heart sank into the abyss. Gabriel was awake, which meant they were going to face an even more formidable enemy!
"Was it you two who injured me? You hurt me to such an extent that I nearly died at your hands."
"But fortunately, you wounded me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how long it would take to wake up."
Gabriel’s gaze fell on them, slowly smiling.
Xiao Zheng detected a hint of mockery and disdain in his smile, as if he and Hades were nothing more than harmless bugs to Gabriel.
"Hm? Are you glaring at me?" Gabriel looked at Xiao Zheng with a sarcastic smile, "Young people have such tempers, but what’s the use of your anger? To me, you’re just two somewhat strong ants, and ants are ants; if I want to kill you, you cannot resist."
"Is that so? If you’re so sure, then go ahead and try." Xiao Zheng sneered.
Upon hearing this, Gabriel smiled and said, "Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll reluctantly grant you death. Dying at my hands can be considered an honor for you."
After speaking, he prepared to act.
However, before he could quickly act, Gabriel’s face sank.
It seemed he wasn’t fully aware of how severe his injuries were, with the Dantian damaged and internal organs seriously injured, preventing him from exerting even a tenth of his peak strength.
In contrast, Xiao Zheng and Hades were both in peak condition.
As a battle-hardened master, Gabriel was keenly aware that if he continued to fight Xiao Zheng and Hades today, he might eventually kill them, but he would certainly die too.
This mutually destructive outcome was something Gabriel was unwilling to see.
His pride wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
However, if he turned away, it would be embarrassing if word got out. Gabriel felt very troubled, caught in a dilemma.
"What’s wrong with him?"
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown and ask.
Hades shook his head, indicating he didn’t quite understand either.
As the two hesitated anxiously, Gabriel finally made a decision.
He glanced at them with a mysterious smile. Then, before Xiao Zheng and Hades could react, he chose to attack.
With great momentum!
Even injured, Gabriel’s assault remained fiercely aggressive!
Rushing to them, Gabriel threw a punch at Xiao Zheng without hesitation! Although Xiao Zheng reacted as quickly as possible, he was still knocked flying!
Seeing Xiao Zheng hit, Hades’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and without hesitation, he engaged Gabriel!
"Little bat, you are no match for me."
Gabriel sneered, deftly evading Hades’s attack, then punched him in the stomach.
The punch was incredibly forceful, sending Hades flying too!
