Chapter 1959: The Pope Makes His Move!
"Since the Pope has spoken, I definitely won’t let you down."
Xiao Zheng grinned and said.
In an instant, he charged at Charles with dual blades in hand.
The dual blades slashed mercilessly, as though even the space itself would be torn apart!
However, before the blade could strike Charles, a white shield instantly blocked Xiao Zheng’s dual blades. Charles didn’t even have to chant, easily blocking Xiao Zheng’s strike.
Compared to Eddy and Joseph, he is much stronger!
"Come on."
Charles said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng’s lips curled, and he exploded once more.
The blade momentum was overwhelming, unstoppable!
This time, Charles’s face finally showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly smiled and said, "The power of these two blades is not bad. It seems the Huaxia proverb holds true: ’A famous reputation is well deserved.’
However, relying solely on these two blades, you are still too inexperienced to defeat me."
He then extended a hand, fingers spread wide.
A white shield instantly formed with his outstretched fingers.
Yet, he didn’t notice the hint of mockery in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
Just as Charles formed the shield, Xiao Zheng’s dual blades slashed down instantly, each strike stronger than the last! The first blade broke the white shield with a crack! As the second blade fell, the white shield shattered!
But it wasn’t over; Xiao Zheng’s attacks were far from done!
After the two blades, he followed with a third and then a fourth!
Charles clearly underestimated Xiao Zheng’s power. He didn’t anticipate that Xiao Zheng’s blade technique was so formidable, breaking his Light Shield with just two strikes, and still having strength left.
"That’s what happens when you underestimate the enemy."
"Even a lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit; haven’t you heard this saying?"
Xiao Zheng sneered, slashing down with both blades simultaneously.
Charles’s pupils shrank, hurriedly attempting to dodge.
Although Xiao Zheng’s blades were swift, Charles, being a Peak of Supreme Realm expert, reacted quickly. These unexpected two blades only sliced off a corner of his robe.
Nevertheless, this made Charles seethe with anger inside.
"Such a pity."
"I didn’t expect you to dodge even that."
Xiao Zheng said with a face of regret, looking at Charles’s iron-blue face from not far away.
However, no matter how you looked at it, his sigh seemed like mockery.
Charles glared at the severed golden robe, then said coldly: "Very well! You successfully angered me! I originally wanted to have some fun with you, but now it seems there’s no need for that!"
"Stop boasting, if you have the ability to kill me, then go ahead and try." Xiao Zheng coldly replied, "Only in the end, we’ll see if you kill me or I kill you."
Unable to hold back after hearing this, Charles could not contain himself.
He dashed towards Xiao Zheng, raising a hand to unleash a Holy Light Technique.
A flash of white light, instantly like sword qi, slashing towards Xiao Zheng!
Xiao Zheng’s expression remained unchanged, raising his blade to block directly.
This time, he used only one blade to shatter the Holy Light.
However, by then, Charles had already reached his side.
Charles’s speed was as swift as a ghost, almost like teleportation.
Xiao Zheng inwardly cried out, quickly swinging his blade to evade. However, Charles continued to laugh coldly, directly striking Xiao Zheng’s battle blade with his palm, shattering it. Then the second palm slammed into Xiao Zheng’s chest, sending him flying.
"Is this the prowess of a Peak of Supreme Realm master?"
"I didn’t think that after transforming my body with Golden Bone, it would still hurt so much after just one hit!"
Xiao Zheng’s chest throbbed with pain, eyes wide with shock.
However, Charles was even more astounded.
Because that palm just now definitely condensed nearly eighty percent of his strength, yet striking Xiao Zheng, who was only at the Early-stage Perfect Realm, merely sent him flying without even making him spit blood.
Charles suddenly felt ashamed!
He now felt relieved that he had driven Joseph away, or else he would have truly lost face in front of others.
"Come again!"
After composing himself, Xiao Zheng once more charged at Charles with his blade.
Seeing this, Charles could not have asked for a better scenario.
This time, he held back nothing, unleashing his full strength, moving even faster than before, leaving Xiao Zheng dazzled.
"If you have guts, try taking another of my palms!"
Having said that, Charles struck Xiao Zheng once more.
Xiao Zheng was sent flying again, this time, blood finally trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Finally successful, Charles’s eyes glistened with pride.
However, what he didn’t anticipate was that he would soon face an even more frenzied Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng, eyes ablaze, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, charging at Charles again without saying a word. He had no intention of holding back, gripping the dual blades tightly in his hands.
Seeing his actions, Charles’s eyes flashed with contempt.
Having locked onto Xiao Zheng’s course, he struck out again.
Yet soon, Charles’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Because his strike hit empty air!
It was merely a shadow!
Charles’s strike had landed only on Xiao Zheng’s lingering shadow!
But, where could his real self be?
Charles’s face turned dark. Then, an immensely terrifying aura appeared behind him. He suddenly turned, seeing blades of cross-shaped sword qi slashing towards him!
Behind the blade energy was Xiao Zheng’s formidable figure!
"He’s already behind me!"
"How did he do this? Why is his speed faster than mine?"
Countless questions emerged in Charles’s mind at this moment.
But with the current battle situation, there was no time to ponder.
Charles hurriedly chanted, and an earth wall immediately rose before him!
Boom!
The cross-shaped blade energy slashed into the earth wall!
Debris flew across the battlefield in an instant, with dust soaring, seemingly covering the sky!
"Is it over?"
Charles was filled with uncertainty.
Just as he was about to search for Xiao Zheng’s figure, another cross-shaped blade energy sliced from behind him!
Xiao Zheng, using the explosion’s movement, had again reached Charles’s behind!
This time, Charles was finally too late to react!
The blade energy slashed down, sending Charles flying!
His body was like a meteor, leaving a trail of blood in its path, finally crashing into the dense forest not far away!
This battle!
Xiao Zheng unexpectedly held the upper hand!
