"Let's begin."
That was the first thing the religious heretic, Hossein, said after entering the conference hall. It was inexplicable, but it made people involuntarily nervous.
Let's begin?
What?
Was he representing himself or someone else?
What was he trying to achieve?
It was obvious that he was on the same side as the Cang Dragon. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the Cang Dragon to finish the negotiation before he showed up.
But no matter what their motives were, Xiao Zheng had to do something.
The Cang Dragon had taken advantage of Sophia, but he did not have much of a chance to show off. Even though he had threatened the Cang Dragon's life, Sophia had given in and stopped the negotiation.
This caused Xiao Zheng to be slightly puzzled and slightly helpless. But no matter what, it was Sophia's negotiation. As an outsider, he could not interfere with Sophia's decision. Who knows, she might have a more thorough follow-up move?
But this time, he was facing Hussain, one of the eight Overlords on the Hero Ranking List. Xiao Zheng had to step up!
It was as though this was a sort of mission. At the same time, he felt that Hossein should be his opponent and not Sophia.
"Start what?" Xiao Zheng stared at Hussain.
This was definitely a perfect man. His facial features and the aura he exuded were not something an ordinary person could compare with. It was as if he was born with a light that was dazzling.
Xiao Zheng did not know him, but he had heard Ma Choi Jun mention this legendary man when he had just left the country.
The top swordsman in the Western Continent. He was known as the Overlord of the Religious Heresy. He was a handsome man who was loved by many rich ladies. His swordsmanship was amazing and he was taught by the Cardinal of the Vatican. At the age of 18, he was already a famous swordsman in the West. Rumor had it that not only did he break the rules, but he was also a playboy. That was also the reason why he was loved by many rich ladies.
A powerful and handsome man with a noble background, with the title of a religious heretic above his head. Wouldn't such a mysterious and dangerous man suit the taste of lonely women?
However, just like how Luo Yingxiong refused to tell him about the background of the eight peerless powerhouses, Xiao Zheng only knew that Bai Wuxia was on the leaderboard. He did not know the background of the other seven people at all. Even if they met face to face, there was no way to know.
Hussain's mysterious and deep dark green eyes fell on Xiao Zheng's face. He slowly sat down, put down the knight's sword in his right hand and placed it on the oval table. His gaze was calm as he said, "Leave your last words."
After a pause, Hussain added with an indifferent expression, "All of you."
Your last words.
Your last words.
These words were extremely arrogant, but they came from Hussain, one of the eight peerless experts on the Hero Ranking Board. However, he was so calm and unruffled. It was just like if one day Bai Wuxia said this to someone, or even to Xiao Zheng. He would not feel the slightest bit of surprise or discomfort.
As a peerless expert who stood at the peak of martial arts, it was only right and proper for Hussain to say these words.
Sophia's eyes flashed, and she wrote a sentence on the white paper, "Name your price."
Those who were invited by Itō must be people with a price. Sophia hoped to solve the problem in the most peaceful way possible. After all, she had already paid a great price for this negotiation. She would definitely declare war against Itō!
A light flashed in Hussain's dark green eyes. With a whistling sound, a white light flashed, and he had already pulled out the knight's sword that was placed on the table. The blade of the sword was thin, but it was indestructible. Streaks of seemingly tangible killing intent gushed out from the blade of the sword. It went straight for Sophia's face!
The long sword was unsheathed, and the meeting hall was filled with killing intent. Sophia only felt that her face was being cut by a fierce gust of wind. She instinctively wanted to close her eyes. She wanted to block the overwhelming Awe-Inspiring Sword Energy.
But as a strong-willed woman who had experienced countless storms, Sophia stubbornly opened her eyes wide. Sofia stubbornly opened her eyes wide. Although her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, she still insisted on not closing her eyes.
But in that instant, Sofia felt a wetness on her back.
Yes.
She was sweating.
She had been frightened by Hussain's powerful Sword Energy and had broken out in cold sweat.
In the end, she was just a woman who did not have the strength to truss a chicken. Perhaps she was extremely strong-willed, or perhaps she was extraordinarily intelligent. But even if she was asked to carry a bucket of purified water that weighed 40 kilograms onto the water dispenser, it was still a very difficult physical task. Not to mention that she was facing a peerless expert who stood at the peak of the world.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and deceptions were useless.
The might of the sword had stunned Ruth and Nika. This caused them to subconsciously bounce up and make defensive movements. Their faces were filled with fear and panic. It was as if the sword had brushed past the God of Death. They had even taken a trip to the gates of hell. Big beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their bodies were drenched.
But Hussain's sword only stopped in the air after it was pulled out. It did not even show any signs of stabbing Sophia. The distance between them was at least 20 centimeters.
What was a peerless expert?
His powerful mental attack was enough to defeat his opponent. He did not even bother to make a move.
Xiao Zheng was the only one who remained motionless.
Only Xiao Zheng was still looking at Hussain calmly.
But it did not mean that he could not feel Hussain's power. It did not mean that he could not feel the terrifying pressure of a peerless expert.
How could the pressure of this sword be inferior to the aura of a powerful expert that Bai Wuxia had shown?
A sword came from the West, and the Eastern Land was shocked.
Yes.
This was the peerless expert that Xiao Zheng was facing. He was known as the strongest expert in the West, the unparalleled swordsman, Hussain!
Xiao Zheng's blood boiled and quickly burned.
He knew that this person would be the strongest person he had ever faced. He was different from Zhao Laosi and Yamamoto, who had extraordinary strength. He was different from experts like He Zhu Guo and Luo Yingxiong who had one foot in the Hero Ranking. A true peerless expert, even his gaze and breath, was different from experts like He Zhu Guo and Luo Yingxiong who wandered the edge of the Hero Ranking.
This was also the reason why the arrogant Luo Yingxiong did not dare to easily reveal the Hero Ranking.
Because they were not on the same level!
Because compared to a peerless expert, someone as strong as Luo Yingxiong was like an ant. He did not have any sense of existence!
The so-called reaching the peak and being invincible and lonely referred to the eight heroes on the Hero Ranking, right?
Right now, there was one of them.
"Don't insult me." Hussain spoke fluent noble English. His gaze was calm and noble. It was as if he was wearing a yellow robe with a crown on his head. His entire body exuded the aura of a peerless expert. He looked down at Sophia. His aura was unparalleled.
