My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1948: A Step Too Late!

Xiao Zheng quickly arrived at the city where the eighth target was located.

However, while he was still in the sky, he discovered that the city below him was already under full lockdown. Followers and divine servants of the Bright Church were everywhere on the streets.

As for the Twelve Holy Temple Knights, they stood guard like twelve divine guardians at every entrance of the city’s temple.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng understood.

A trace of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems the Bright Church has finally caught on. Although slower than I expected, at least they didn’t disappoint me."

"Hmm, there are sixteen Martial Saint Realm experts in the city now? Quite a number indeed."

"Since you hold me in such high esteem, if I don’t give you a grand gift, wouldn’t I be letting you down?"

Xiao Zheng’s gaze fell on the temple below, and the smile on his face grew even broader.

He then unleashed his entire aura.

"Enemy attack!"

At the very moment Xiao Zheng released his aura, the entire city went into an uproar.

Numerous experts rushed towards the temple in order to stop him from assassinating the city’s Saint Heir.

Even under the tight protection of fifteen Martial Saint Realm experts, the face of the city’s Saint Heir still showed a hint of panic.

After all, a person’s name precedes them.

Xiao Zheng is now renowned as the Saint Heir Assassin, with the number of Saint Heirs who have died at his hands already numbering eight publicly.

Even though the city’s Saint Heir usually acted arrogantly, upon learning that Xiao Zheng was after him, a shred of panic and fear inevitably crept into his heart, "Protect me! You must protect me well!"

"Also, quickly send someone to request reinforcements! The Evil God must not be allowed to kill me!"

Hearing the Saint Heir’s cries, everyone couldn’t help but furrow their brows, feeling a sense of embarrassment.

But now was not the time for infighting; someone quickly ran to send out a distress signal.

It was also at this moment that Xiao Zheng finally appeared.

Seeing Xiao Zheng suspended in mid-air, everyone finally realized his true cultivation level had reached the Supreme Realm! That’s on par with the Archbishop’s level!

The Saint Heir’s heart sank instantly!

He now only hoped that Xiao Zheng wouldn’t act so quickly, allowing him time to delay until reinforcements arrived!

However, Xiao Zheng didn’t give him any chance, using Gang Qi with his right hand to create an illusion of a battle knife, and then he slashed downwards in mid-air! A terrifying Sword Qi instantly descended from the sky!

It was like the Milky Way pouring out, its momentum overwhelming!

Feeling the terrifying power contained in Xiao Zheng’s slash, everyone below had a horrifying look on their faces. However, they were after all elite experts of the Bright Church and quickly responded.

Someone shouted, "Everyone, strike together, we must block this attack!"

Though it was unknown who was commanding, everyone chose to strike simultaneously. The main force naturally consisted of the city’s Saint Heir and his Twelve Holy Temple Knights.

Moreover, three Martial Saint Realm experts sent by the Holy Land of the Church also served as the primary force.

Sixteen Martial Saint Realm, more than twenty Great Grandmaster Realm, along with other experts, all struck at once wanting to block Xiao Zheng’s attack. No one held back, and all erupted with their full strength.

Yet even combined, their momentum still couldn’t compare to Xiao Zheng alone.

"Overestimating yourselves!"

Xiao Zheng sneered, as the speed of the descending Sword Qi increased by several degrees.

Boom!

A second later, the terrifying explosion resounded throughout the city!

When the Sword Qi blazed, it felt as though the night had turned into day!

Just when everyone thought doomsday was upon them, their vision finally cleared, and they were shocked to find that the once magnificent Bright Temple had been reduced to ruins by a single slash from Xiao Zheng!

As for the ruins, there were dozens of bodies lying around!

Beneath the rubble, the number of bodies pressed down was over a hundred!

In the Bright Temple, the only ones still standing were the sixteen Martial Saint Realm experts led by the Saint Heir! Although they hadn’t fallen, they were all severely injured!

"The last slash, sending you to meet the Light God!"

Xiao Zheng’s lips curled, and the battle knife slashed down again.

Seeing the Sword Qi that once again formed in the void, wide as a river, a trace of despair appeared in the eyes of the Saint Heir and others...

The Sword Qi descended, as if the entire world fell silent.

The Bright Church, along with the city’s Saint Heir, all sixteen Martial Saint Realm experts, died under Xiao Zheng’s second slash. Not even their bodies were left, turning to dust with the temple ruins within the Sword Qi.

On the open ground left by the temple ruins, there was only a single piece of golden human bone left.

"The twenty-third Golden Bone, finally in hand!"

A look of delight flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, then he quickly descended beside the Golden Bone. After picking it up and confirming it wasn’t damaged in the previous attack, his hanging heart finally relaxed.

Without any hesitation, he swiftly left the chaos-stricken city.

Not long after Xiao Zheng’s departure, the reinforcements from the Bright Church finally arrived late.

Upon seeing the Bright Temple razed to the ground, their hearts were filled with anger.

The leading Archbishop was so furious that he stomped his foot, shaking the entire city, "Damn it! He got away again! It’s all your fault, you useless bunch! I told you to hurry, yet you’re as slow as turtles!"

The church experts who arrived to support felt deeply aggrieved by his scolding.

After all, the highest among them was only Martial Saint Realm, unlike the Archbishop who could fly. No matter how fast they were, they couldn’t be faster than a Supreme Realm expert.

After venting his anger with curses, the Archbishop’s mood improved slightly.

However, seeing the temple razed to nothing, his heart ached again, "I can sense that the Evil God Xiao Zheng hasn’t been gone for long! If he has another target, he will definitely choose the nearest one!"

"I remember the nearest Saint Heir is Edward, let’s go and reinforce him now!"

After saying this, the Archbishop prepared to leave with the Bright Church experts.

However, at this moment, a Martial Saint Realm expert ran up to him in panic, his voice trembling, "Reporting to the Archbishop, we don’t need to go to Saint Heir Edward’s side anymore!"

"The latest intelligence has come in, just a minute ago, Saint Heir Edward was killed by the Evil God Xiao Zheng!"

What!

The Archbishop’s eyes widened, almost biting his teeth to pieces!

He never expected that Xiao Zheng’s speed of action would be so fast!
