Chapter 2009: Chapter 2009: The Avatar Returns
Gabriel’s sudden outburst caught Xiao Zheng off guard.
The terrifying shockwave sent his body flying over ten meters away.
However, that was all it did. Even though the shockwave was powerful, it couldn’t cause much damage to Xiao Zheng. At most, it made him feel pain from the fall, but it wouldn’t injure him.
Gabriel’s true killing move was yet to come!
After releasing his momentum and knocking Xiao Zheng flying, Gabriel immediately chased after him!
"Strike while the iron is hot!"
Gabriel had obviously heard this saying before!
Just as Xiao Zheng’s body was about to crash onto the ice field, Gabriel’s form flickered, and he appeared beside him!
Seeing this, a glint of surprise flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
"It’s over."
"You’re easier to handle than I imagined."
Gabriel grinned, then suddenly swung a punch at Xiao Zheng.
His punch defied common sense.
Back in the Yacha Mountain Range, Gabriel could break Hades’ defense with one punch, piercing through her body. Though this punch was weaker than the one that injured Hades, it was still unbearable if it struck a human body.
Xiao Zheng’s gaze sharpened, and then his body twisted in an exceptionally strange posture, dodging the punch mid-air!
The punch missed and smashed heavily onto the ice field!
Boom!
The entire ground seemed to quake, and a crack spread towards the distance at a visible speed!
When Gabriel pulled his hand from the snow, a loud explosion erupted, and half of the ice field, which had only developed a crack, collapsed!
If someone were to look down from above, they would certainly find the plain resembling a spider web!
The sight was a disaster!
"Too bad, you managed to dodge it."
"Your luck is good."
Gabriel shook his wrist, looked up at Xiao Zheng hovering in the air, and smiled.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh: "Luck is also a form of strength, haven’t you heard? Well, you stayed so long sealed in that statue, your thinking must be rigid by now. Telling you these truths is pointless."
"You should prepare to die."
As his words fell, he charged at Gabriel once more.
Xiao Zheng looked like a diving fighter jet, wielding dual blades, directly aiming a Power Splitting Huashan at Gabriel!
Gabriel calmly conjured a Light Barrier.
Boom!
Xiao Zheng’s dual blades crashed against the shield again, but this time, Gabriel’s luck wasn’t as good. Xiao Zheng’s downward force inflicted more power into these strikes, several times greater than earlier.
Against these powerful blows, a single Light Barrier couldn’t withstand them.
The Light Barrier shattered on impact, and the twin blades continued slashing towards Gabriel!
Gabriel hadn’t anticipated the drastic power shift in Xiao Zheng’s attacks, and as he saw the Light Barrier crumble, he attempted to dodge frantically. Yet, he wasn’t fast enough to outrun Xiao Zheng’s battle blades.
Even though he dodged one blade, the second struck his shoulder!
Accompanied by Gabriel’s scream, a splash of blood instantly scattered across the mass of white snow!
"How does that strike taste? I hope you find it satisfying?"
Xiao Zheng landed slowly, gazing at Gabriel in the distance and smiling.
Gabriel’s handsome face twisted into a grimace at the taunt. He remained silent, merely glaring at Xiao Zheng, and then let his vital energy flow, instantly healing the knife wound on his right shoulder.
"I didn’t expect to underestimate you."
"But next, you won’t be as lucky. I will kill you and let you taste the fear of death!"
Gabriel’s icy words seemed colder than the drifting snowflakes.
Xiao Zheng didn’t bother to retort and attacked once more.
His speed was now astounding enough to shock Gabriel, and even if he compared it to his peak condition, Gabriel couldn’t outpace Xiao Zheng.
Luckily, despite Xiao Zheng’s quickness, Gabriel still held an advantage.
Facing Xiao Zheng’s rapid assault, Gabriel leisurely conjured three layers of turtle shells for defense, ensuring his defense wouldn’t be shattered by a single attack from Xiao Zheng, before beginning his chanting.
With the chanting’s onset, Xiao Zheng’s movement was immediately restricted.
A Light Cage rose from beneath his feet.
Soon after, a Holy Light Cross Slash directly met him.
Xiao Zheng’s gaze intensified, refusing to take this lightly. His blade swung, smashing the cage before dodging Gabriel’s Holy Light Cross Slash with a quick sidestep.
"Are these all your tricks?"
"If so, I’m truly disappointed."
With that, Xiao Zheng charged at Gabriel once again.
He swung his blades, creating two Sword Qi vortexes.
Gabriel snorted, waved his sleeve, and launched ten consecutive punches, finally obliterating the Sword Qi vortexes: "It’s just a small gain for you; do you really think you can beat me?"
"Holy Light Technique!"
Alongside his angry shout, a clone instantly appeared beside him!
This clone was identical to the one Charles summoned in the Yacha Mountain Range, except it lacked autonomous consciousness, and its realm and power matched the main body!
This meant Xiao Zheng now faced two opponents, both supreme masters who had broken into the Supreme Realm!
"Heh, scared now, aren’t you?"
Gabriel’s eyes flickered with disdain as he saw Xiao Zheng’s silence.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng coldly replied: "Charles tried the same trick before; do you think I haven’t prepared for it? Your clone can only last for six minutes at most!"
"Survive this period, and I’ll kill you!"
"Foolish dreamer. You barely managed to handle just me before, and now I’ve summoned this clone too; how could you possibly win?" Gabriel sneered, "You dream of fighting two with one!"
"Go die!"
With that, both Gabriel and his clone launched their attack on Xiao Zheng!
The situation turned unfavorable for Xiao Zheng!
