CHAPTER 1312: CHAPTER 1312: THE INJURED MARTIAL SAINT XIAO ZHENG

"The target of those vampires is me. As long as I lead these people away, Long Qie and the others can retreat safely with the Evil Eyes."

Reaching an open area, Xiao Zheng stopped, pondering the next move. He decided to use himself as bait to draw the vampires away.

"The injuries are quite severe."

Xiao Zheng checked his body and couldn’t help but grimace.

After becoming a Martial Saint, he rarely got injured, and it was the first time he was injured this seriously, mainly because of Harren.

Harren’s strength was a level higher than even the Beihai Venerable’s and was on par with his own. In the previous battle, both were severely wounded.

After that, Xiao Zheng’s injuries continued to worsen as he took care of Long Qie and the others.

"This is vampire territory, Harren’s conditions are much better than mine, and his recovery speed is definitely faster."

Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown.

It would be dangerous if he really encountered Harren at this time.

"Better take a rest and quickly leave." Xiao Zheng restrained his aura, sat cross-legged on the ground, and circulated the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to heal his injuries.

After half an hour, his breath had grown slightly stronger, and he opened his eyes.

This process could not be delayed too long, or it would be disastrous if caught up.

Xiao Zheng stood up, looked at the direction, and in his mind, the geographical map of this area appeared.

He had memorized this map long ago to aid in battle.

"Twenty kilometers southwest, there’s a mountain range with complex terrain, a perfect place for an ambush."

Xiao Zheng’s mouth formed a slight smile.

In the forest, the vampires’ aerial advantage would be nullified.

And he could maneuver easily within it.

Having made his decision, Xiao Zheng rushed out swiftly, heading straight for the mountain range.

"Hmm?"

Just before reaching the mountain, Xiao Zheng suddenly halted, frowning deeply.

He sensed a chaotic yet majestic energy swiftly approaching him.

Xiao Zheng looked up towards the front.

Rumble...

The ground ahead began to quake as hundreds of wolf-headed, humanoid creatures appeared from behind a small hill, charging at Xiao Zheng.

"Werewolves!"

Xiao Zheng’s pupils contracted.

Why are there werewolves here?

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment and immediately understood; Roberts must have delivered intelligence about him to the Werewolf Clan upon returning, leading to their pursuit.

"Roberts is probably going to suffer." At this moment, Xiao Zheng didn’t consider his own safety, but thought of Roberts.

Letting Xiao Zheng go would certainly lead to reproach from the Werewolf Clan, and perhaps even severe punishment.

"Hehe, my luck is really good; the King divided the team into several groups to search for the Evil God, and I bumped into him."

Among the werewolves charging at Xiao Zheng, Tarbert thought excitedly.

Previously, when Rob III set out, several locations where Xiao Zheng might appear were identified, one of which was this Sky Net secret base.

The Werewolf Clan did not know the exact location of the secret base, only a general area, so Tarbert was sent here.

Initially, Tarbert was very sullen, thinking, how could the Evil God appear in such a godforsaken place?

To his surprise, the Evil God actually showed up!

"Hahaha, Evil God, meet your end."

Tarbert laughed wildly, wielding a massive cleaver, leading hundreds of werewolves charging at Xiao Zheng.

The werewolves here were all very powerful, almost as strong as the previous batch of vampires, with Tarbert being at a quasi-Martial Saint level!

Rob III was much stronger than Harren, his forces being the entire Werewolf Clan, naturally capable of deploying terrifying-level powerhouses.

"What luck..."

Xiao Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, unexpectantly stumbling into such a pack of werewolves.

"But... since I’m already here, I’ll just have to fight my way through." His eyes turned cold as he launched himself into the werewolves.

Seeing Xiao Zheng not retreat but rather charge towards them, Tarbert was first startled, then excited.

"I’ve long heard of the domineering and fierce Evil God, and the reputation is well deserved. I like opponents like this."

Tarbert knew Xiao Zheng was injured, so even though Xiao Zheng was a Martial Saint, he was eager to try.

I really can’t beat a Martial Saint.

But fighting an injured Martial Saint should be no problem.

Buzz...

Charging forward, Tarbert had already mobilized his inner strength, Gang Qi surging like a torrent, enveloping the massive cleaver.

Boom!

The next moment, the massive cleaver’s length surged, suddenly becoming three meters long, with thick Gang Qi shrouding it.

The werewolves behind Tarbert let out loud roars, which merged, echoing like a tidal wave, shaking the earth.

With the soldiers behind him, Tarbert’s confidence grew even stronger.

Even if this strike fails, the hundreds of werewolf warriors behind him could swarm forward; even a Martial Saint would kneel.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Tarbert so excited, thinking of him as prey, Xiao Zheng felt a surge of anger, charging like a one-man army.

Boom!

Two torrents crashed together instantly.

"Aaaah..."

Tarbert let out a thunderous roar, gripping the hilt with both hands, his wolf head’s eyes blood-red, face ferocious, as all his muscles suddenly tightened, unleashing explosive power.

Boom!

He swung down mightily.

In that instant, the surroundings dimmed slightly. Tarbert’s strike was so dazzling, it seemed to outshine the world.

After all, this was a quasi-Martial Saint’s blow.

"Die!"

Tarbert shouted.

"Does an ant dare to roar at the sky?"

With a cold expression, Xiao Zheng punched.

Boom!

The punch landed heavily on the massive cleaver. The collision resulted in a loud crash, followed by a moment of stalemate, seemingly even. But the next moment, the fist moved forward like a hot knife through butter, the cleaver’s blade resonating, countless cracks appeared, rapidly spreading.

"No..."

Terror appeared in Tarbert’s eyes.

He realized he was wrong.

Terribly mistaken.

But this world offers no remedy for regret; Xiao Zheng shattered the massive cleaver with a punch, and his fist landed heavily on Tarbert’s chest afterward.

Bam!

Tarbert was instantly sent flying, tumbling a few times in the air before landing among the werewolf warriors behind him.
