In the eyes of the holy knights, the cardinal elder's actions were too normal. However, Xiao Zheng and Tina who were walking in front clearly felt a surge of murderous intent behind them!
The murderous intent was directed at the two of them!
Who did it?
Wasn't it the cardinal elder who called for Xiao Zheng?
In that instant, Tina's body tensed up and her heart sank. She had no strength to fight back. She even needed Xiao Zheng's help to walk. She glanced sideways and looked at Xiao Zheng who had a firm expression and a calm gaze. She couldn't tell if she felt sour or satisfied.
In the end — I still can't leave?
In the end — I still have to die here?
Tina didn't regret it at all. She couldn't live in the same house, but if she could die in the same hole, it would be the best ending for her.
But just as she leaned on Xiao Zheng's shoulder and waited for her fate to end peacefully, she suddenly heard Xiao Zheng's low and gentle voice, "This is the second time you've lowered your head to fate tonight. Since when did you become so fragile? "
Buzz!
The blade in his hand suddenly trembled. Xiao Zheng twisted his waist and turned around. As the cardinal elder approached, he suddenly pulled out his blade and slashed!
Boom!
In that instant, the blade shone brightly and slashed towards the cardinal elder like a bolt of lightning!
This slash was extremely ferocious. It was as if thousands of blade gleams gathered at the tip of the blade and slashed the cardinal elder into pieces!
However. Just as Xiao Zheng twisted his waist and turned around, the cardinal elder who felt a great threat had already stopped moving forward. He even took a few steps back with his scalp tingling. He was sweating profusely.
The slash missed, but Xiao Zheng had already turned around with Tina in his arms. He stared at the cardinal elder with a calm and dignified gaze, "Although I'm injured, it won't take much effort to kill you."
"Mr. Xiao, please don't misunderstand!" The cardinal elder whose back was soaked in sweat quickly explained. His right hand was holding onto a normal car key. "I'm just worried that if you go out like this, it will cause unnecessary panic. Here's a car key. It's parked in the square. It'll be more convenient for you to drive away from the meeting. "
How could Xiao Zheng believe his nonsense? No matter if it was from his terrified gaze or Joseph's regretful expression, he was certain that the murderous aura just now came from the cardinal elder. His goal was to launch a killing move when he was unprepared.
"Is that so?" Xiao Zheng glanced at the cardinal elder coldly.
"Absolutely!" The cardinal old man quickly explained.
He did not dare to provoke Xiao Zheng. Even though he was sure that Xiao Zheng was injured. But just as Xiao Zheng had said, with his ability and terrifying strength, even if he was heavily injured, it would probably be extremely easy for him to annihilate everyone present here. It was effortless. He was just an ordinary expert, so how could he withstand his terrifying attack?
After a series of failed attempts, the cardinal elder had completely given up on the idea of keeping Xiao Zheng. All he could do was to send this god of plague away. It would be best if they never met again!
"There's no need for the key. I have my own legs. "Xiao Zheng said coldly. Then, his expression suddenly became sinister and cruel. "If you dare to chase after me again. Don't blame me for starting a massacre! "
"Don't worry. Take care, Mr Xiao. "The cardinal elder forced a smile.
Xiao Zheng glanced at everyone coldly. Then, he held Tina's waist again and turned to walk towards the palace gate. But the moment he turned, blood seeped out of his nose and mouth. Although it was not much, it was extremely terrifying.
Tina panicked. Just as she was about to help him wipe it off, she heard Xiao Zheng's low and weak voice, "Don't worry about me. Leave this place. "
At that moment, Xiao Zheng was mentally and physically exhausted. His heartbeat was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Blood flowed out of his nose and mouth, dripping onto his collar and onto the ground. If the ground was not already dyed red by the holy knight's blood, the cardinal elder would have noticed it on the spot. By then, it would be impossible for him to leave.
Joseph slowly walked forward and said with a regretful expression, "We still let him leave …"
Hearing this, the cardinal elder sighed softly, "If the Church could carry guns, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he had ten lives."
"Carry guns?" Joseph raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully. "Then it won't be a simple fight tonight. It will be a barrage of cannons. By then, it's still unknown if this palace can still be preserved. "
The Church forbade carrying guns. It also had a very high tech detection function. If anyone with bad intentions entered with a gun, the alarm would go off immediately.
The cardinal elder nodded and said, "But no matter what, although we don't have the ability to keep him here. He did us a great favor. "
Hearing this, Joseph let out a smile, "Yes, if it wasn't for him, Soros might really be plotting how to kick me off my throne."
"If that's the case, he has become our benefactor." The cardinal elder had a relaxed expression.
Once Soros died, he would become the undisputed leader of the cardinal group. Coupled with Joseph's support, no one in the Church could shake his position anymore.
As for Xiao Zheng — — even if he knew such a secret, it meant nothing to the cardinal elder. Once he stabilized his position as the first red-robed cardinal of the cardinal group. He had enough confidence to deal with any rumors.
"It's time to clean up the battlefield."
…
Xiao Zheng picked up the phone he left in the square.
His body could no longer bear the burden, so he could only find a random corner to hide in. Then, he dialed a number in France.
"Hello, Master." An extremely gentle voice came from the other side of the phone. And it was pure royal English.
"Lock onto my location and come as fast as you can," Xiao Zheng said vaguely.
"Master, you're injured?" The gentle voice asked in surprise. It seemed like he didn't expect Xiao Zheng to be so heavily injured.
"Of course — —" Xiao Zheng already had no strength left. "Hurry."
After saying this, Xiao Zheng no longer had the strength to talk to the man on the other side of the phone. His arm hung limply. He tilted his head and looked at Tina. "Hopefully we can survive."
"Definitely — —" Tina's voice was hoarse and equally powerless.
In the cold wind, they leaned against each other, but they didn't even have the strength to say another word.
The reason why Xiao Zheng asked for help from a foreigner who would take two hours to fly over, but didn't dare to ask for help from the hospital was because he and Tina were so heavily injured, the hospital would definitely investigate them. Secondly, he knew that although the Church didn't dare to cause trouble for him now. But once he was admitted to the hospital, the cardinal elder would definitely go over and stab him.
So to Xiao Zheng, going to the hospital was equivalent to walking into a trap. It was better to hide here and wait for someone he could absolutely trust to save him.
As for life and death, with his and Tina's tenacious willpower that had gone through countless near-death experiences, It was just two hours. He believed that he could hold on, and he believed that Tina would be able to hold on.
Unknowingly, Xiao Zheng closed his eyes. He heard Tina's weak cries, "Don't sleep, don't sleep …"
