Chapter 1966: Breaking Through the Realm!
Hades led the Blood Clan masters to achieve a magnificent victory.
The entire European battle situation immediately changed.
The Bright Church, originally the aggressor, began to slowly contract its lines, no longer daring to advance recklessly. As for the Blood Clan, initially the defenders, they became assertive, standing tall and securing several victories in the next two days.
Although these were small battles with fewer than a hundred casualties, they were enough to make the world see the Blood Clan in a new light.
Hades subsequently refrained from taking further action, only instructing Brent to closely monitor the Holy Land of the Church, keeping a watchful eye on Pope Charles’ every move. As long as Charles didn’t act, the battle situation would not undergo any significant changes.
This also marked the beginning of a truce, allowing both the Bright Church and the Blood Clan to catch their breath temporarily.
Meanwhile, three days had passed since Xiao Zheng entered seclusion.
Since returning from the Kash Mountains, Hades had been staying in the Temple, worried he might encounter any accidents. However, three days later, a powerful aura exploded within the Temple.
The priests and attendants residing in the Netherworld King Temple were all alarmed.
This aura was so imposing that it made them feel an irresistible urge to kneel in reverence!
A flash of surprise appeared in Hades’ eyes; she hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng to actually break through. Moreover, his aura felt strange, quite peculiar. Even though he was only at the Mid Marvelous Realm, he gave her the feeling of facing someone at the Peak of Supreme Realm.
Without hesitation, she soon appeared at the doorway of Xiao Zheng’s room.
Hades did not immediately push the door open because she knew that one must not be interrupted at the final critical moment of a breakthrough. Only when Xiao Zheng’s aura subsided did she open the door.
"How is it?"
Hades asked upon entering.
Upon hearing her, Xiao Zheng, who had just opened his eyes, flashed a hint of excitement: "Very effective! Thanks to the Golden Bone you gave me! I’ve successfully broken through to the Mid Marvelous Realm!"
"If I were to face Charles again in a duel, I definitely wouldn’t lose to him!"
Towards the end, the excitement in his eyes was replaced by a murderous intent.
Hades nodded and said, "Killing Charles is not urgent. He is now hiding in the Holy Land of the Church, not showing himself. Even if we join forces, we can’t deal with him right away."
"Why has he suddenly become a coward?" Xiao Zheng frowned and asked.
Upon hearing his question, Hades shook her head and said, "I don’t know either. I tried killing people to force him to appear, but failed. He must be hiding in the Church, plotting some conspiracy."
Actually, she truly misunderstood Charles with this statement.
The reason Charles had not shown up was entirely because he was recovering from his injuries. Unlike Xiao Zheng, he didn’t have a Golden Bone implanted in him. Even though his injuries weren’t as severe, to return to peak status would take him nearly a month.
If it weren’t for the need to heal, given Charles’ hatred for Hades, he would have long come to the Netherworld King Temple to fight.
Of course, Xiao Zheng and Hades were unaware of all this.
Hearing that she had killed people to force Charles to appear, Xiao Zheng curiously asked, "How is the outside battle situation now? Has the Bright Church made any big moves during my seclusion?"
Hades did not hide it and recounted to him how she led the masters to attack the main forces of the Bright Church.
Knowing that she brought people and achieved a huge victory in this battle, a flash of surprise passed through Xiao Zheng’s eyes: "You’re really bold, bringing such a small group to dare fight the main forces of the Bright Church!"
"But from this, it’s not difficult to see that Charles might really have a conspiracy. Nearly twenty thousand of the main forces were killed or injured, yet he never showed up."
"By the way, you just said you killed two Archbishops of the Bright Church that day, right?"
Hearing this, Hades nodded.
Xiao Zheng was somewhat excited and said: "In this case, a total of four Archbishops have died at your hands, and I’ve killed two as well, which means all the Archbishops of the Bright Church were killed by just the two of us?"
"You killed two Archbishops?" Hades asked with some doubt.
Not only her, but the world also did not know of the two Archbishops who died at Xiao Zheng’s hands. Besides Luke, who was split with a sword in Mingwa City, Joshua who died at Saint Sochiya was covered up by the Bright Church.
After hearing Xiao Zheng’s account, Hades learned of this matter.
"Looks like Charles is going to have a headache now." Xiao Zheng said with a cold smile, "Six Archbishops have now died at our hands, and he’s just a lone commander, essentially no different from being alone!"
"Not necessarily." Hades suddenly said, "The Bright Church has ruled Europe for so many years, Charles must have some trump card he hasn’t used yet, so we must not let our guard down."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I understand, I never thought the Bright Church is an easy opponent to deal with. But next, it’s our turn to counterattack."
"This time, I won’t just let the Blood Clan take action. I’ll summon Long Qie and others to Europe to join the battle."
"This war, initially sparked by me, Sky Net will definitely not stay out of it."
Upon hearing his words, Hades did not object, and said: "Do as you wish. Anyway, now that you are awake, I will only be responsible for killing from now on. All Blood Clan members will be under your command."
With this statement, she essentially entrusted the lifeline of the Blood Clan into Xiao Zheng’s hands.
With such a heavy trust, Xiao Zheng felt immensely burdened in his heart.
