Chapter 1968: Evil God and Netherworld King Join Forces

The other side.

After contacting Long Qie, Xiao Zheng returned to the Temple.

Hades sat high on the Divine Throne, her expression and demeanor as cold and lofty as ever, as if merging with the towering snow peaks outside the Temple. Only when she saw Xiao Zheng did her gaze soften slightly.

"How is it?"

Hades asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng made an "OK" gesture to her and said, "Everything is done. I’ll meet them in Song City tomorrow. We’ll make the next plan together then."

"After all, this is the first alliance between Eastern Martial Cultivators and Western aliens. First, hold a meeting to let everyone get familiar with each other."

His words seemed like a joke, but in fact, he was indirectly informing Hades not to have problems on her side.

Hades clearly understood his words and said, "I can assure you, no one will hold us back. No one dares to betray me, as those who have, are now dead."

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh: "That’s good. If you can say that, I’m much relieved. It really helped you a lot when I killed those elders here last time."

"Do I need to thank you?" Hades asked.

She actually wanted to joke with Xiao Zheng, but her icy expression made it look like a reproach.

Xiao Zheng smiled wryly and quickly shook his head, saying, "Let’s forget it. If we still need to say thank you, it would be too formal between us. Moreover, you’ve saved my life; if thanks are due, I should be the one thanking you."

"You’ve saved me too." Hades replied.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng said helplessly, "In that case, it’s meaningless. If you really want to thank me, how about treating me to a drink in Song City tomorrow?"

This was really just a casual suggestion from Xiao Zheng.

Because Xiao Zheng knew very well that Hades would not easily leave the Netherworld King Temple.

However, to his surprise, Hades agreed without hesitation. Seeing her serious demeanor, Xia Zheng felt like witnessing a living ghost.

But he quickly regained his composure and said, "No problem, as long as it doesn’t delay the official business tomorrow, I won’t leave without getting drunk with you. There’s nothing to do now, how about we spar in the Martial Arts Arena?"

"Just broke through, my realm hasn’t stabilized yet, you can help me hone my skills."

Hades nodded, and the two prepared to head to the Martial Arts Arena.

Seeing this, the attendants waiting on both sides of the Temple were visibly surprised.

Because they still remembered what happened last time when Xiao Zheng sparred with Hades, it was a miserable sight. Could it be that Xiao Zheng is going to be beaten by Hades again today?

The attendants were curious but dared not to watch the battle.

Upon reaching the Martial Arts Arena, Hades stood directly in the center, without any special preparation, she nodded at Xiao Zheng to indicate he should start.

Xiao Zheng didn’t hesitate, rushed forward, and threw a punch at Hades.

This punch was extremely fierce, causing the space to tremble!

Feeling the power of Xiao Zheng’s punch, even Hades couldn’t hide her surprise. She hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng to progress so much.

The power of this punch exceeded her expectations.

Hades didn’t dare to underestimate it, swiftly dodged sideways and narrowly missed Xiao Zheng’s punch.

But it seemed Xiao Zheng had anticipated her move.

Xiao Zheng smirked, then suddenly changed tactics, his right fist curled inward, turning the punch into an elbow strike: "You won’t be able to react to this!"

Hearing his provocation, Hades showed a hint of a smile and then struck his elbow with her palm, easily blocking his strike.

Xiao Zheng was stunned, evidently not expecting her speed to be so fast.

This blocked move directly caused Xiao Zheng to lose his offensive edge.

Hades quickly changed rhythm, clenched her fingers, and punched hard at Xiao Zheng’s arm. Xiao Zheng felt pain and immediately tried to counter-attack, finally finding an opening, and struck Hades’ abdomen with his palm.

Both rapidly moved apart, getting knocked back.

"How is it?"

"Want to continue?"

After regaining his stance, Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

Hades replaced her answer with action, darting forward with almost teleportation speed, and targeted Xiao Zheng’s Danzhong acupoint with her fingers like a sword.

This is a major acupoint in the human body; attacking it can break defenses and pause energy flow.

Seeing Hades use such a method, Xiao Zheng realized she was taking it seriously. Though serious Hades put him under great pressure, it also made him happy.

After all, it was a recognition of his strength.

Before, during sparring, Xiao Zheng couldn’t force her to such a degree.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and also exerted himself fully...

This bout lasted over an hour before they stopped.

The result was a draw.

Actually, Xiao Zheng knew that Hades had held back a bit, otherwise, during the bout, she had several opportunities to end the battle instantly, but she chose not to.

Although he got a bit lucky, he was still very happy.

After all, the last time they sparred, Xiao Zheng was beaten so badly by Hades. Now being able to fight back and forth with her, Xiao Zheng felt very satisfied.

"Now I am filled with confidence for the upcoming battle."

"As long as the two of us join forces, I have at least an eighty percent chance of killing Charles."

Xiao Zheng said confidently.

Hearing this, Hades said, "I never took Charles seriously, he isn’t the ultimate reliance of the Bright Church."

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng frowned and asked, "Are you referring to the legendary Church God?"

Hades nodded, without speaking.

"But is he really still alive in this world? Honestly, I find it hard to believe," Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "If the Church God were alive, how could he ignore the Bright Church?"

"Perhaps, I also hope he’s no longer alive," Hades said, "Anyway, until the war is completely over, we must not let our guard down."

Even Hades, when mentioning the legendary Church God, felt a chill in her heart.

Xiao Zheng nodded forcefully, feeling a heavy weight in his heart as well.
