Chapter 1469: Xiao Zheng’s Formidability

Nicola felt the impact at this moment and had to stop, his face pale from the shock, a trace of anxiety flickering in his eyes upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words.

Given his current state, if he were to engage in battle with Xiao Zheng, he would undoubtedly be entangled. Once the people behind catch up, escape would be nearly impossible.

"Evil God, it’s best to leave some room in dealing with others."

Nicola said in a hoarse voice, "Thoroughly angering our Blood Clan, no matter how talented you are, will not end well for you."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and said, "I’ve already killed so many of your Blood Clan members, is there really any room for reconciliation between us? Your statement is truly laughable."

"I can guarantee," Nicola hurriedly said, "as long as you let me go, I can use my influence in the Blood Clan to organize resistance against your Sky Net."

Xiao Zheng laughed out loud, saying, "Your suggestion is indeed tempting, but I will not accept it. Killing people comes at a cost, invading Huaxia has a cost, and that cost is your head!"

Seeing that persuasion failed, Nicola’s eyes shot out a ferocious and violent glare, and he said sternly, "Fine, let’s have a good fight then. Since you won’t let me go, I’ll drag you down with me even if I die."

After all, Nicola was a Martial Saint from the Blood Clan, and he also harbored a highly violent personality trait. He roared fiercely, and streaks of purple lightning shot out from his body, rushing towards Xiao Zheng with a boom.

Xiao Zheng wasn’t afraid either and directly met him head-on. The two immediately engaged in an intense battle on this narrow mountain path, lightning flashing and golden light soaring, with dozens of moves exchanged in mere moments.

Finally, Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with a sharp gaze, spotting a flaw in Nicola’s defenses, and he punched forward, penetrating a web of electricity and landing heavily on Nicola’s chest.

"Ah..."

Nicola let out a miserable scream, his body flying horizontally and crashing into the cliffside, causing the cliff to tremble, rocks tumbling down in a chaos.

Xiao Zheng paused his steps, charged forward directly to Nicola’s presence, and once more threw a golden fist down on his head, the impact making Nicola’s head jerk heavily, almost exploding.

"Ah ah ah!"

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, Nicola’s potential erupted, with an extremely powerful force suddenly surging from within his body, fiercely counterattacking Xiao Zheng, extremely domineering.

Xiao Zheng’s eyes also showed a hint of surprise. Even on the brink of death, Nicola could still unleash such an explosion, truly formidable, worthy of being an outstanding figure within the Blood Clan.

A thought flashed, and Xiao Zheng retreated rapidly, dodging this attack.

Utilizing this opening, Nicola abruptly leaped towards the abyss beside the mountain path, his body slicing through the air in an arc.

"Not good!"

Xiao Zheng exclaimed in his heart.

This abyss, although it appeared extremely intimidating, would have little impact on someone as strong as Nicola, even if he was severely injured. If Nicola truly jumped down, he might indeed escape.

Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with determination; he absolutely couldn’t let Nicola succeed. With that thought, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, and suddenly, Gang Qi surged out from his body, forming a golden greatsword in mid-air.

Boom!

The greatsword ignited.

"Slash!"

Xiao Zheng shouted fiercely, and the greatsword whistled forward. The golden light flashed in the air briefly before appearing behind Nicola and then piercing through him mercilessly, like breaking through bamboo.

"Ah..."

Nicola let out a miserable scream, his body plummeting into the abyss, his aura weakening rapidly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. That sword pierced Nicola’s vital spot, coupled with falling into the abyss, even with Nicola’s indestructible body, survival was impossible.

However, as he slightly relaxed, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. There came a light popping sound from his neck, where the wound left by the Death Warrior had all burst open, blood gushing out wildly.

"Looks like I do have my limits."

Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly.

He, after all, only possessed the Early Stage Martial Saint realm. Although relying on the power of the Golden Bone, he consecutively destroyed Beros and two Peak Martial Saints including the Death Warrior, and even killed a gravely injured Nicola, he himself had reached his limit, unable to suppress his injuries.

"What a pity."

Xiao Zheng gazed toward the west, with a look of regret in his eyes.

His original plan was to defeat the legions of the Blood Clan and Werewolves, then immediately charge into the western territory, crashing into the Werewolf Territory, using an iron-blooded approach to avenge the humiliation Huaxia previously suffered.

But now it seems impossible. After all, he was already seriously injured, and Warriors like Wang Daoxuan, Zuo Longyi, and Dugu Baitian also suffered great loss of combat power, diminishing the combat effectiveness of this alliance army.

However, if others knew Xiao Zheng’s thoughts at this moment, they would probably be angered to the point of vomiting blood.

After all, defeating the legions of the Blood Clan and Werewolves was already an extraordinary achievement, destined to be recorded in the annals of the Martial Arts history!

Such a glorious victory, even looking forward several decades, or a hundred years, had never occurred. Huaxia had always been on the receiving end, being invaded and oppressed, only during the era of Dugu Qiubai did they rely on the power of one man to suppress the West.

Xiao Zheng actually contemplated attacking the Western stronghold! This was something many had never considered.

"Kill them..."

On the other side, the battle between the Blood Clan Werewolf Warriors and the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance Army had also reached its end. No doubt, the Blood Clan Werewolves suffered a great defeat, almost exterminated in such a short time.

Several warriors were captured alive, and the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance Army ordered them to surrender, but these Blood Clan Werewolf Warriors were also adamant, directly severing their heart veins with Gang Qi to commit suicide, decisively.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh at this sight.

Though the Blood Clan and Werewolves were brutal, they were not without merit. At least their fierce madness was worth learning from.

Huaxia was somewhat lacking in this regard.

This too is determined by the environment.

Within Huaxia, famous mountains are abundant, resources are plentiful. Even with the immense number of Martial Arts cultivators, they are easily absorbed, so Huaxia Martial Artists hardly have any desire for expansion.

Western resources are much more barren, so the Blood Clan and Werewolves tend to expand, plunder, using warfare to acquire resources.

Gradually, Huaxia was weakened, while the Western powers continuously strengthened!
