Chapter 1952: God Said, Let There Be Light!
In less than three seconds, the two white-robed elders who rushed over to help were both killed by Xiao Zheng.
Each died more tragically than the last, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Arriving late to the scene, Luke and Joseph felt a deep regret but were also furious, wishing they could skin Xiao Zheng alive. However, the people were already dead, and no amount of talk could change that.
"Even if there’s only the two of us left, we still have a chance to take him down!"
"Let’s attack together, and I called for reinforcements on the way here. Eddy is already on his way!"
Joseph said to Luke beside him.
Hearing his last sentence, Luke couldn’t help but feel a surge of confidence.
The Eddy Joseph mentioned was also an Archbishop of the Bright Church, and his level was far above Luke’s. Like Joseph, he was a top expert at the Mid Marvelous Realm!
If they could hold out until Eddy and his allies arrived, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t be able to stir up any significant trouble, no matter how strong he was!
Having made up his mind, Luke was the first to charge at Xiao Zheng!
"God said, let there be light!"
As he attacked, he performed a powerful move from the Light Holy Scripture.
In an instant, Xiao Zheng’s vision was filled with blinding white light.
Because he had already faced Joshua before, Xiao Zheng wasn’t panicked. Relying on his sense of the elemental qi around him, he quickly determined the positions of Luke and Joseph, who were trying to sneak an attack.
Attacked from front and back!
Xiao Zheng sneered inwardly, a glimmer of disdain flashing on his face: "Do you think you can defeat me like this? You underestimate me too much!"
Then his body suddenly moved, so fast it left a trail of afterimages in the void!
Luke was shocked because Xiao Zheng was charging straight at him!
"Joseph! Hurry over and help!"
Luke shouted urgently.
But Joseph was already speeding up without needing any cue.
Joseph condensed a staff using his Gang Qi, and after shouting loudly, he summoned a bolt of lightning from thin air! At the Supreme Realm, manipulating elemental qi at will is possible!
This lightning was a testament to his formidable cultivation!
The lightning, as thick as an arm, struck down, aiming directly at Xiao Zheng’s head!
Feeling the terrifying power of this strike, Xiao Zheng dared not use his Vigorous Energy Shield to block it. He then condensed a battle blade with his left hand, advanced instead of retreating, abandoning his attack on Luke to rush at the descending lightning!
"Is this guy giving up on resistance?"
"He’s not dodging, but instead rushing at the lightning I summoned. Is he seeking death?"
Joseph sneered constantly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
In his view, Xiao Zheng rushing toward the lightning was essentially courting death.
Luke, narrowly escaping danger, still felt uneasy. After all, before Joseph’s arrival, he had already fought with Xiao Zheng and knew well how formidable Xiao Zheng was.
To be safe, he unhesitantly launched another attack!
"Light Cage!"
Luke murmured softly, then a light formation appeared under Xiao Zheng’s feet, forming a cage that trapped him inside.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, clearly not expecting the Bright Church’s methods to be so strange.
But this surprise only lasted a moment before turning into disdain.
Xiao Zheng didn’t care about the cage in front of him, his gaze was fixed on the descending lightning, and then he made an astonishing move that Joseph and Luke would find hard to forget for a lifetime!
First, he slashed, shattering the Light Cage summoned by Luke.
Immediately, he slashed again, breaking apart the bolt of lightning!
With just two slashes!
Xiao Zheng needed only two slashes to break through the joint attack of Joseph and Luke. His actions didn’t cease, as he turned around and charged straight at Luke.
Seeing this, a flash of panic appeared in Luke’s eyes again.
Luckily, Joseph reacted quickly, rushing to stand in front of the two, swinging his staff towards Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng raised his blade to block, the blade striking heavily against the staff.
As the immense force hit, Joseph immediately felt his arm go numb, almost unable to hold onto the staff.
Meanwhile, the second wave of reinforcements from the Bright Church finally arrived!
Xiao Zheng intended to press the attack, but suddenly sensed several strong auras behind him. Sensing things might take a turn for the worse, he abandoned the notion of attacking Joseph and Luke, heading directly towards the temple below.
Even though Xiao Zheng possessed combat power close to the Peak of Supreme Realm, he had yet to reach the peak cultivation level.
In facing Luke and Joseph, Xiao Zheng could manage not to fall behind.
However, if another strong opponent of the Supreme Realm joined, even Xiao Zheng couldn’t guarantee his victory. Moreover, his target here was not Joseph or the others; there was no need to waste time with them.
Having realized all this, Xiao Zheng swiftly flew towards the temple.
From the very beginning, he had locked onto the position of the Saint Heir, Allen Burbank.
Ever since the battle between Xiao Zheng and Joseph started, Allen Burbank had been hiding in the temple, not daring to show his face. This was partly due to Luke’s advice and partly due to fear.
After all, with Xiao Zheng now bearing the title of "Saint Heir Assassin," Allen Burbank was extremely afraid of him.
However, the temple couldn’t offer Allen Burbank much protection; with just one slash, Xiao Zheng cleaved the temple along its central axis, splitting it in two!
In almost the blink of an eye, Allen Burbank, hiding inside the temple, was exposed to everyone’s sight!
"Not good!"
"Xiao Zheng is going after the Saint Heir, stop him quickly!"
Joseph shouted loudly, already chasing after Xiao Zheng.
But Luke was even faster, as his focus had always been on Allen Burbank. As soon as Xiao Zheng moved, at the moment of the slash, he was already charging towards Allen Burbank.
These two Supreme Realm experts of the Bright Church, one charged at Xiao Zheng, the other at Allen Burbank.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng’s murderous intent flared up, shouting coldly: "Those who block me shall die!"
Then he slashed again!
This slash was aimed directly at Luke, who was trying to protect Allen Burbank!
"Light Shield!"
"Ice Sealing Technique!"
Although Luke was anxious, he remained collected.
Seeing Xiao Zheng’s attack coming down, he immediately erected two defensive walls for himself and Allen Burbank!
The Sword Qi slashed down with a roar!
The Light Shield shattered, and the Ice Wall exploded!
However, behind those two protective walls, Luke and Allen Burbank remained unscathed!
