Chapter 1958: Unexpected Reinforcements

No one expected that Xiao Zheng would suddenly erupt.

The power he burst out in that instant reached a level that left no room for resistance.

Especially Eddy, who faced his attack directly, felt an overwhelming death threat in his heart.

He frantically began chanting, trying to gather more earth barriers.

However, before he could gather a new layer of barriers, Xiao Zheng’s dual blades slashed down, one after another, landing continuously on him!

With each slash, a spray of blood would inevitably burst from Eddy’s chest!

If it weren’t for Joseph arriving just in time at the final moment, he would have become a ghost under Xiao Zheng’s blade!

Even so, Eddy was critically injured and completely lost his combat capability!

Seeing this scene, the members of the Bright Church felt their hearts sink to the bottom. If moments ago they could still manage a faint smile, now they were at the point where they couldn’t even cry.

"If this is the conspiracy you’ve set against me, to be honest, I’m very disappointed in you."

Xiao Zheng looked down from above and couldn’t help but sigh.

Seeing him sigh deeply, the members of the Bright Church felt an indescribable suffocation in their hearts.

Some even closed their eyes, giving up hope, and began to prepare for death.

Xiao Zheng took a step forward, ready to end this battle.

His goal was clear: to kill Joseph and the heavily wounded Eddy first, then deal with the rest, and finally leave with the Golden Bone.

The script was ready. All Xiao Zheng needed to do next was follow it and start the slaughter.

But suddenly, his brow furrowed tightly, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.

Less than two hundred paces from Joseph and Eddy, Xiao Zheng stopped slowly, raised his head, and looked at the sky. He could clearly sense an extremely powerful aura flying toward his location.

Finally, a figure slowly descended!

He looked quite young, at most in his thirties, wearing a golden robe. Against the sun, he looked like a divine being descending!

"The Pope!"

"It’s actually the Pope!"

The moment this figure appeared, a commotion erupted among the crowd!

Everyone was crying with joy, as if they had ascended from Hell to Heaven.

Even Joseph and the critically injured Eddy couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief at this moment.

The Pope?

So this is the Pope of the Bright Church, a true Peak of Supreme Realm expert, Charles?

Looking at the thirty-something man in front of him, the scorn on Xiao Zheng’s face was instantly replaced by gravity. No matter what, Charles was a well-known expert, and he deserved some respect.

"Evil God, we finally meet."

Pope Charles was the first to break the silence.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Indeed, this is our first meeting, but you’re a bit late. Your subordinates are nearly all dead by my hand."

"Look, there’s even a heavily injured one over there; do you need some time to heal him first?"

His tone was relaxed, not overly serious because of Charles’s appearance.

Hearing his words, Charles smiled and said, "No need to waste much time, just a moment will do."

After saying this, he turned around and walked toward Eddy.

The entire process was unguarded, as if he wasn’t worried at all about Xiao Zheng attacking him from behind.

When Charles reached Eddy’s side, the latter was almost at his end.

Blood gushed from his mouth in large amounts, mixed with bits of shattered organs.

Charles showed a look of pity and sighed before speaking: "Poor Eddy, you are a faithful believer. The great Light God will not let you die."

"The Light God will grant you a new life."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Eddy’s body.

Soon, without any special move, a dazzling white light burst from his palm. Then a miraculous scene unfolded: the ghastly knife wounds on Eddy’s chest started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, but his complexion also quickly became rosy.

Seeing this scene, the followers of the Bright Church knelt on the ground in a fervent expression, raising their arms and shouting, as if witnessing the birth of a miracle!

Even Xiao Zheng had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Charles’s healing ability to be so remarkable, comparable to his other skills. It could bring a critically wounded, dying person back to normal in just a few seconds.

When Charles stood up again, Eddy was already back to normal.

Clap, clap, clap—

Xiao Zheng applauded and laughed, "The Pope is indeed remarkable; I didn’t expect you to really bring him back. So, are you planning to have three people attack me together next?"

Hearing his words, Joseph, now with backing, couldn’t help but sneer, "Do you really think you are invincible? The Pope personally intervening is already an overestimation of you. And yet, you want to fight against three? Ridiculous!"

"Whether it’s ridiculous or not, it’s not for a defeated lackey like you to shout." Xiao Zheng retorted unceremoniously.

Joseph was instantly speechless, his face turning pale with rage.

Just as he and Eddy couldn’t hold back the urge to strike at Xiao Zheng again, Pope Charles suddenly reached out to stop them: "Leave him to me. You take the Saint Heir and leave."

"The upcoming battle is not something you can interfere with."

Joseph and the others dared not disobey his command, quickly preparing to leave with the now terrified Allen Burbank.

Frankly, this Saint Heir was rather unfortunate.

Just a few days ago, he narrowly escaped death, and today, he nearly died at Xiao Zheng’s hands, repeatedly terrified. If not for his Martial Saint Realm strength, he would have died of fright.

The crowd left quickly, and Xiao Zheng didn’t stop them.

It’s not that he didn’t want to but that he couldn’t.

Charles had already locked onto his aura; if he made any move, Charles would absolutely choose to act first. Facing this long-renowned Pope, Xiao Zheng was somewhat apprehensive.

Once Joseph and the others left, Charles shook his wide sleeves and smiled, "Now that the irrelevant have finally gone, Evil God, let me witness your power."

After speaking, he stood motionless as if he didn’t take Xiao Zheng seriously at all.

But it was exactly this nonchalant behavior that was the most provocative!

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng’s lips curled into a dazzling smile!
