Chapter 1946: Golden Bone in Hand

Two hours later, Xiao Zheng arrived at Barton City.

Nolan Hiber, the ninth-ranked Saint Heir of the Bright Church, was currently residing in the temple at the city center.

According to the intelligence passed to him by Long Qie, Nolan Hiber was excessively lecherous and extremely greedy, plagued with numerous misdeeds. Had it not been for his decent cultivation talent, he would have been stripped of his Saint Heir title long ago.

In the rankings of Saint Heirs’ combat strength, his fighting power was ranked second, far surpassing Arthur.

If not for the endless scandals about Nolan Hiber, his rank would have climbed to second based on combat strength two years ago.

However, none of this had anything to do with Xiao Zheng.

No matter how strong Nolan Hiber was, he wouldn’t be his match.

"The Golden Bone will be mine!"

Xiao Zheng hovered among the clouds, a cold smile forming on his lips as he gazed down at the brightly lit Bright Temple.

Then, without decreasing his speed, he plummeted into the temple like a meteor.

Boom!

The huge explosion echoed throughout Barton City!

The Divine Tower dedicated to the Light God, the tallest building in the city, collapsed in plain sight under everyone’s watch!

Everyone was stunned, unable to comprehend what had suddenly transpired!

The whole of Barton City instantly descended into chaos!

Inside the Bright Temple, significant disorder also arose!

Fortunately, two red-robed elders managed to contain the chaos, preventing it from spreading, as a large group of believers and divine servants formed a unit and rushed toward the direction of the Divine Tower.

From the midst of the swirling dust, Xiao Zheng strolled out leisurely.

The two red-robed elders, accompanied by the temple guards, were momentarily stunned upon seeing him appear, then frowned and demanded, "Who are you? Why did you trespass into the temple? Moreover, you dared to destroy the Divine Tower that honors the great Light God!"

"Such disrespect toward the Light God means you will end up in hell after your death!"

Xiao Zheng brushed the dust off his clothes upon hearing their words and chuckled, "What rubbish Light God? If you have the guts, let him appear before me right now."

"If not, then shut your mouths."

On hearing his words, the devout followers of the Bright Church were shaking with anger.

Had the two red-robed elders not stopped the furious crowd, someone might have already charged at Xiao Zheng: "Who exactly are you? How dare you come act wild on our turf?"

"An Oriental? Are you perhaps the Evil God Xiao Zheng?"

They eventually guessed Xiao Zheng’s identity.

Upon hearing it, Xiao Zheng chose not to hide and nodded with a smile, "Looks like I’m quite famous within your Bright Church. Indeed, I am the Evil God you’ve been seeking!"

Seeing him admit his identity, the two red-robed elders couldn’t hold back: "Together! Kill him! He has challenged our Bright Church repeatedly! He must apologize before the Light God!"

As their words fell, a swarm of over a hundred people rushed toward Xiao Zheng.

It was like a small army charging forth, astonishingly powerful.

"Wow, so many people?"

"Your Bright Church internally has quite bloated personnel structure."

"Since I’ve encountered this, let me do you a favor and ease your pressure."

Xiao Zheng widened his mouth into a grin, revealing a set of neat, white teeth.

Soon after, he very strangely vanished from everyone’s sight.

"Huh? Where is he? How did he suddenly disappear?"

"Everyone be careful! Don’t panic!"

"Quickly find him! We must not let him escape!"

The crowd clamored, eager to find Xiao Zheng.

"No need to search, I’m right here."

Suddenly, Xiao Zheng’s voice emerged from within them.

A flurry of gasps ensued, revealing Xiao Zheng had unknowingly moved into their midst!

"Goodbye!"

Xiao Zheng waved at them, as if bidding farewell.

Soon after, they all permanently closed their eyes.

Over a hundred people couldn’t endure even a second against Xiao Zheng! Mind you, among them were Great Grandmasters and Martial Saint Realm experts! Yet all fell to Xiao Zheng’s hand!

The last remaining red-robed elder trembled uncontrollably.

Xiao Zheng approached him, patting his shoulder, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t kill you, for now. Take me to Nolan Hiber’s location, I know you can find him."

"What do you want with the Saint Heir? Are you...?" The red-robed sect hierarch suddenly seemed to realize something, flushed with anger, he roared, "You are attempting to provoke a war! Aren’t you afraid the Bright Church will completely eradicate your Sky Net?"

"Stop your crimes now! Confess to the Light God, maybe the Light God can still forgive you!"

Confess?

Xiao Zheng found it laughable, saying, "If you are so devoted to the Light God, I’ll send you to meet him now. Since you won’t cooperate, there’s no need to keep you."

Before the red-robed elder could struggle, Xiao Zheng slammed him with a punch, killing him directly.

After wiping the blood off the corpse, Xiao Zheng proceeded forward.

The entire temple had devolved into utter chaos, people fleeing in panic.

Xiao Zheng paid no heed to these people, moving deeper into the temple. He had already sensed Nolan Hiber’s aura, who seemed aware of the looming danger and appeared intent on escaping.

"You think you can escape when I’ve got my sights on you?"

With a twitch of his lips, Xiao Zheng vanished in the blink of an eye.

When he reappeared, he stood within a palace-like structure. Approaching in panic was Nolan Hiber.

Nolan Hiber clearly did not anticipate encountering someone so abruptly.

Xiao Zheng’s sudden appearance startled him.

"Evil God?"

"You’ve come to kill me?"

Nolan Hiber asked with fear.

Xiao Zheng nodded upon hearing this, with a smile, "Isn’t that quite obvious? I’m giving you three seconds to leave a final message."

Nolan Hiber gritted his teeth, apparently set on resisting until the end.

Finally, reinforcements arrived, and twelve Holy Temple Knights stationed in Barton City joined him in launching an attack against Xiao Zheng.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh...

The battle ended in less than three minutes.

The area was left in utter disarray.

The palace-like structure had collapsed into ruins, amid which lay Nolan Hiber and the twelve Holy Temple Knights of his age.

Standing atop the ruins, Xiao Zheng held the fifteenth Golden Bone in his hand!
