Chapter 1957: The Battle Begins

Xiao Zheng had no idea that his predicament had made Long Qie and others extremely worried.

Nor did he know that Long Qie and others were actually seeking help from Hades.

After leaving the small town, Xiao Zheng headed straight for the Filo River.

By noon that day, he had arrived at the banks of the Filo River.

Here, there was only a wide asphalt road; on the right side lay rolling mountains and primeval forests, while the left side had a continuously flowing river. Mist lingered in the dense forest, and the sound of water was pleasant and enchanting, creating a picture-perfect paradise.

However, it wouldn’t take long before this place became a battlefield.

Hidden in the forest, Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged, began to cultivate, and prepared to maintain his battle state at its peak at all times.

Time passed quietly, bit by bit.

By two in the afternoon, a convoy stretching a hundred meters appeared on the highway.

Xiao Zheng slowly opened his eyes, activated his penetrating vision, and soon spotted Allen Burbank in the convoy. He had seen Allen Burbank’s photo in the data given to him by Long Qie.

After confirming no one was impersonating him, a cold smile slowly spread across Xiao Zheng’s face.

Inside the convoy, he also noticed a familiar face, Joseph. Next to Joseph sat another person, Eddy.

Due to his hurried departure at that time, Xiao Zheng hadn’t seen him before.

But this didn’t stop him from guessing his identity. Being able to sit alongside Joseph indicated Eddy’s high status. These two were like guardians, protecting Allen Burbank on both sides.

If Xiao Zheng wanted to kill Allen Burbank, he would first have to eliminate them.

"There must be quite a few hidden troops, right?"

"If all that commotion earlier was just to stage an empty city strategy, then the Bright Church would indeed disappoint me."

Xiao Zheng surveyed the surroundings, as if numerous experts were lurking in the primeval forest.

He chuckled coldly, then brazenly drew his knife!

The sword qi streaked across the sky, heading straight for the convoy!

"Enemy attack!"

In an instant, the convoy triggered the alarm!

All vehicles frantically swerved to the sides of the road, attempting to evade Xiao Zheng’s slash. However, due to its suddenness, only a few narrowly escaped, while those that didn’t were sliced cleanly in half!

The vehicle carrying Allen Burbank couldn’t dodge, being trapped in the middle of the convoy.

Luckily, Joseph and Eddy quickly erected the Vigorous Energy Shield, or Allen Burbank might have perished under Xiao Zheng’s slash!

Despite this, Allen Burbank turned pale with fright!

"He finally appeared!"

"The Pope was right, he really took the bait!"

Eddy said, somewhat excitedly.

Killing intent flashed in Joseph’s eyes as he coldly remarked, "What are we waiting for? Since he’s really here to die, we must oblige him! Together now!"

With his words, a White Robed Elder was assigned to protect Allen Burbank.

Joseph and Eddy then flew into the sky, attacking Xiao Zheng together!

"Light Cage!"

"Divine Punishment!"

The two coordinated their attacks seamlessly.

Joseph summoned a cage to trap Xiao Zheng inside. Meanwhile, Eddy conjured lightning, directing it at Xiao Zheng.

Their flawless coordination seemingly pushed Xiao Zheng into a perilous situation in an instant!

Yet, no one noticed the disdain flashing through Xiao Zheng’s eyes!

As soon as the Light Cage rose, he sliced through the light column with a single slash, then transformed into a cannonball, charging at Eddy with his blade!

Joseph and Eddy clearly didn’t expect Xiao Zheng’s reaction speed to be so fast, rendering the Light Cage ineffective.

Seeing him charge, Eddy wasn’t the least bit flustered, his mouth incessantly chanting.

"Wall of Earth!"

With a shout from Eddy, his body was enveloped in yellow earth, as if hiding inside a turtle shell.

Xiao Zheng’s One Slash hit the shield directly.

Boom!

The Wall of Earth shattered instantly, but Eddy inside remained unharmed.

Seeing his Sword Qi useless against him, a smirk appeared on Eddy’s face, "You’re still too young! Don’t think that breaking through into the Supreme Realm at such a young age makes you invincible!"

"I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed as he swung another slash at him, "Eating so much salt, aren’t you afraid of getting sick? No wonder you look like you’re about to die. You should spend more time seeing a doctor."

"Anyway, let me send you to meet your Light God."

The sword qi fell again, striking the Wall of Earth.

Dust flew up, creating a mystical scene.

Eddy’s face remained smug as he said, "You can’t defeat me; it’s not that easy to kill me. Joseph, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and attack while you can!"

Upon hearing his words, Joseph snapped out of it and quickly attacked.

"Dragon’s Roar!"

Joseph chanted, and then a flame spewed from his mouth.

The flame scorched the void, warping the space.

As if this weren’t enough, the fierce flame transformed into a giant dragon with wings, roaring as it lunged at Xiao Zheng. Though it hadn’t neared, Xiao Zheng could already feel the dragon’s fiery heat.

A cold intention flashed through Xiao Zheng’s eyes, and he quickly formed dual blades.

His strike was swift; with one slash, he shattered the flaming dragon! Then his right blade fell again, demolishing Eddy’s newly formed Wall of Earth!

Xiao Zheng fought two enemies alone, yet remained unyielding!

This virtually invincible scene caused immense fear and awe among the Bright Church believers below.

However, the battle wasn’t over.

After his technique was shattered, Joseph swiftly resumed his attacks.

Meanwhile, Eddy constantly created trouble for Xiao Zheng, trying to aid Joseph in succeeding.

But neither noticed the peculiar light flickering in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

After Xiao Zheng repelled Joseph with a slash, he immediately turned toward Eddy.

Seeing this, Eddy sneered, "It’s no use, no matter how sharp your blade is, my Wall of Earth can perfectly restrain you!"

"Is that so? Hardly."

"This time, I’ll show you whether your turtle shell forms faster or my blades strike faster!"

Xiao Zheng laughed, then swiftly swung his dual blades.

In just an instant, countless flashes appeared in the void!

It was like rain, a world-ending rain formed by Sword Qi!
