No one expected Xiao Zheng to turn around. Joseph and the cardinal elder had already determined that Xiao Zheng had died under Soros's Hand of God. Even Tina, who was struggling to walk towards Xiao Zheng, wanted to verify whether Xiao Zheng was dead or alive.
Yes.
Xiao Zheng's turn was too sudden!
It was too thrilling!
No matter who it was, no one would have expected that Xiao Zheng would actually turn around and speak such murderous words!
It looked like the Holy Knight Team wanted to be wiped out tonight!
All of a sudden, a few of the Holy Knights who were charging towards Tina turned around abruptly as if their tails were being stepped on. They retreated immediately.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. There was no pause, no hesitation …
Just like the five Holy Knights from before, they had disobeyed the Pope's orders and the Church's future cardinal leader's orders.
But so what if they disobeyed?
Compared to their future, wasn't their lives more important?
This bloodthirsty demon had killed more than fifty of his comrades. Even the Church's number one fighter, Soros, had been sliced in half by him. What kind of threat could these few people pose to Xiao Zheng?
Was it worth it to use their lives to exchange for a negligible threat? Was it necessary?
Not only the Holy Knights, even Pope Joseph and the cardinal elder could not help but take two steps back. They looked calm, but in reality, they were shocked by Xiao Zheng's murderous aura.
No one was not afraid of death!
Even Joseph, who was known as the Son of God, was not willing to meet his father so soon!
Xiao Zheng's crimson eyes scanned through the faces one by one. Finally, his gaze landed on Tina's face who was getting closer to him.
A smile slowly appeared on his deathly pale face. It was a smile that seemed gentle yet caused one's hair to stand on end.
He raised his hand and waved. "Didn't I tell you to sit down and rest?"
Tina did not reply. She did not have the energy to reply. She only quickened her pace and walked towards Xiao Zheng with tears in her eyes.
Her heart was in a mess. She, who was not good with words, was speechless. With great difficulty, she quickly came to Xiao Zheng and gently hugged Xiao Zheng who was covered in blood.
"I thought you were dead …"
Everyone thought he was dead!
However, he was still standing there, alive and well. Even at this moment, he gently hugged Tina's waist and pursed his lips. "Dead? If I dare to go down, I'm afraid that King Yanluo won't dare to accept it. "
Tina nodded heavily.
She believed in Xiao Zheng, just like she believed in him every time over the years. He always managed to escape from the jaws of the tiger and avert danger. No one could defeat him, and no one could take him away from him.
Wasn't this kind of man exactly what she wanted in her life?
After a short hug, Xiao Zheng held Tina's waist with his left hand and held the blood-stained blade in his right hand. He walked leisurely toward Joseph and the cardinal old man. "Your Holiness, you're going to kill her?" he asked, "You want to kill her?"
Joseph furrowed his brows, but his voice was unusually calm. "She trespassed into the Church and committed a heinous crime."
"In such a situation, shouldn't you, as the Pope, use faith and love to reform her?" Xiao Zheng's gaze darkened as he asked word by word. "Why do you want to kill? Aren't you afraid of tarnishing the Church's reputation? "
Tarnishing?
The Church's reputation has long been tarnished by you, you bloodthirsty demon!
"Mr. Xiao. You are a smart person, why do you have to ask such a stupid question? "Joseph said expressionlessly.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said calmly, "She committed a heinous crime. In your eyes, shouldn't I go to the eighteenth level of hell?"
Joseph's expression froze. He was actually speechless.
"Mr. Xiao. What happened tonight must not be spread out of this door. "The cardinal old man said word by word.
Xiao Zheng nodded faintly, but his gaze swept across the entire place without any scruples — the less than ten Holy Knights whose hands and feet were bound and who were trembling in fear.
"With just them?" Xiao Zheng raised his cold blade. Under the moonlight, the blade was bone-chilling, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. It was blinding. "Or you?"
The blade was pointed at Joseph and Tina. The two of them were already over a hundred years old. But facing Xiao Zheng, who was only twenty-seven years old, they could not muster up the courage to resist.
Joseph's gaze darkened. Just as he was about to flare up, the cardinal old man slowly walked forward and said kindly, "Mr. Xiao, we have no intention of going against you. But please understand our difficulties, "he continued after a pause. After a pause, he continued, "If this gets out, the Church will definitely be in chaos."
"I have no interest in participating in your internal conflict," Xiao Zheng said indifferently. "I am only here for her."
As he spoke, he hugged Tina's waist tightly.
"If you are willing to keep it a secret for us. His Highness the Supreme Pontiff will naturally not make things difficult for you. "The Cardinal old man smiled and said. "But Mr. Xiao has been injured by Lord Soros's Hand of God. Why don't you stay here and recuperate for a few days so that we can play host to you? "
"It's to make it easier for all of you to catch me, right?" Xiao Zheng sneered while a wisp of a playful smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "How about I go to your house tonight?"
The cardinal old man's heart suddenly sank. He thought to himself, "This person's combat power is even higher than Soros', and he is known as the world's number one killer." If they went looking for him, wouldn't they kill everyone in the family?
Looking at Xiao Zheng's cold and cruel eyes, he was even more certain that if he angered this bloodthirsty demon, it would definitely bring him endless trouble. He immediately squeezed out a smile and shook his head, saying, "Since Mr. Xiao still has something important to do, we won't force him."
His original intention was to persuade Xiao Zheng to stay and then probe Xiao Zheng's injuries. If it was serious, he naturally had a way to take off Xiao Zheng's head. However, Xiao Zheng was extremely vigilant and did not give him such a chance at all. Now that he could not see through Xiao Zheng's strength, he did not dare to act rashly and ruin things.
Xiao Zheng's gaze slightly froze. He hugged Tina and strode forward, heading straight for the palace gate.
At this moment, Tina was the same as the cardinal old man. She could not see through Xiao Zheng's strength. She also did not know how his injuries were. However, she, who had suffered a blow from the Hand of God, knew very well that even if Xiao Zheng could still hold on, he was already at the end of his rope and could not bear the heavy burden. She could not help but quicken her steps, hoping to leave the square that was filled with corpses as soon as possible.
"Mr. Xiao!"
Suddenly, when the two of them walked towards the palace gate with their backs facing Joseph and the other Holy Knights. The cardinal old man suddenly shouted. He quickly walked forward.
From the looks of the Holy Knights, the cardinal old man did not do much with his hands. His entire body was extremely relaxed, as if he only wanted to say goodbye or guide Xiao Zheng to take a shortcut. However, Pope Joseph's face was instantly filled with seriousness as he waited for the cardinal old man's next move …
