My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1901: Saintess

"I didn’t expect there would still be a fish that slipped through the net!"

Xiao Zheng turned around, looked at the person in black before him, and said with a sneer.

The person who suddenly appeared and ambushed him, like the Black Robed Faceless Man, was dressed in a loose black robe, with the brim of her hat pulled down, obscuring half of her face.

Although half of her face was covered, Xiao Zheng could still tell she was a woman. And she definitely wasn’t too old, judging by the youthful glow and tender skin of her cheeks and the corner of her mouth, she couldn’t be more than slightly over twenty.

Having grasped this information, the smile on Xiao Zheng’s face instantly turned playful: "I didn’t expect that you were a little chick. But don’t think just because you’re a woman I wouldn’t dare to hit you."

"If you don’t want to suffer too much, you’d better surrender obediently."

However, what greeted him was the woman’s fierce attack.

The woman in black clearly didn’t want to talk with Xiao Zheng, using her attack as a response. Her attack methods were bizarre; seemingly only at the level of a Grandmaster, she could instantly explode with Martial Saint Realm power!

The Underground Palace was filled with her ferocious aura!

"Good move!"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up as he rushed forward as well.

He first slapped away the woman’s fist with one palm, followed immediately by a second palm, landing squarely on her abdomen. He did not hold back much with this strike.

The woman in black let out a muffled groan, her body sent flying directly.

Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"How about now?"

"After witnessing my power, do you still want to fight me?"

"If I were you, I’d surely give up resisting."

"Really, my patience has limits too. Although I am always kind-hearted, if you anger me, I’ll kill you all the same."

Xiao Zheng grinned broadly, a bright smile appearing on his face.

However, the woman in black acted as if she was mute, completely ignoring him. Once she steadied her breath, she charged at Xiao Zheng again! And she was even faster than before!

Xiao Zheng felt the aura of the statue from her body, his gaze hardened, and he threw another punch!

The woman in black, seeing this, changed her body’s angle as if to dodge the punch. Yet Xiao Zheng’s fist ultimately landed on her again, sending her flying once more.

"Three strikes and you’re out."

"This is your last chance."

"If you’re still stubborn, next time I strike, I won’t hold back."

Xiao Zheng said calmly.

At this point, a glint of murderous intent appeared deep within his eyes.

But suddenly, a bad feeling arose in Xiao Zheng’s heart. When he saw where the woman in black was standing, he knew immediately he’d fallen into her trap!

The woman in black was standing beside the incense table, having intentionally allowed Xiao Zheng to hit her!

The reason she adjusted her body’s angle mid-air was precisely to utilize Xiao Zheng’s punch to get close to the incense table!

A cold smile appeared at the corner of the woman’s mouth, then she grabbed the book and tried to flee!

"You can’t get away!"

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth, then attacked.

This time, he didn’t hold back, attacking with all his might. The terrifying force caused the entire Underground Palace to tremble!

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the woman in black.

She clearly hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng’s strength to be so formidable.

But she quickly reacted, knowing staying meant certain death, and rushed toward the entrance to the tunnel.

Even though she was fast, Xiao Zheng’s fist was quicker!

With one punch!

The Underground Palace collapsed with a boom!

Dirt and bricks scattered, raising a cloud of dust!

Xiao Zheng then shook his fist, dispersing the dust, and his vision cleared. Quickly, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, for on the ground, there was only a black robe and a pool of blood.

As for the woman, she was nowhere to be seen!

"Damn it!"

"She still managed to escape!"

"Not good! The old man in the front courtyard..."

Xiao Zheng suddenly thought of the old shopkeeper, then hurried into the shop.

But when he dashed into the shop, where the old shopkeeper had been lying unconscious, he was now gone like the woman in black.

"This is like hunting geese all day only to have one peck your eye at last."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head, laughing self-deprecatingly.

In truth, with his power, he could easily have killed the woman in black on the spot.

But because Xiao Zheng wanted to capture her alive, it ultimately gave her the chance to escape. This led to the current situation where not only did he fail to catch the woman in black, but the old shopkeeper also escaped.

"Seems today’s trip was in vain."

"Hmm? Wait, what is that?"

Xiao Zheng returned to the courtyard and suddenly noticed under the black robe left behind by the woman, a book was pressed underneath. This was the very book the woman in black had desperately tried to take but was forced to leave by Xiao Zheng’s punch.

Xiao Zheng picked up the book and immediately flipped through it.

After reading two pages, he couldn’t hide his inner excitement.

Because this book was the internal contact guide of the Demon God Sect, and it had detailed records of many members’ identities and contacts! Although not completely comprehensive, it was enough to help Xiao Zheng break the current stalemate!

"Worn out iron shoes, only to find it as easy as pie."

"I was thinking there would be no gain today, but I didn’t expect such a huge reward."

Xiao Zheng carefully kept the book, then left the shop.

He had decided to use this directory to start clearing out the Demon God Sect!

As the saying goes, how can one allow others to snore beside one’s bed!

The existence of the Demon God Sect had already threatened the safety of those close to Xiao Zheng!

Under no circumstances would Xiao Zheng let the Demon God Sect continue to grow!

Just as he drove away from the shop, two figures staggered in. These figures were none other than the woman in black and the old shopkeeper, returning again.

Both were injured, especially the woman in black, who was seriously hurt.

Just as she reached the back courtyard, the woman in black stumbled and collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, the old shopkeeper was alarmed and quickly helped her up: "Saintess, are you alright? I’ll help you to your room to rest! Tonight, I’ll help you leave Zhonghai City!"

If Xiao Zheng were still here, he would be greatly surprised.

For the woman in black he had just injured was actually the Saintess of the Demon God Sect!
