CHAPTER 1340: CHAPTER 1340: XIAO ZHENG’S EPIPHANY

The fierce wind swept through the mountain pass, as it had always done through the ages. As a result, the area between the mountain pass was barren, devoid of any vegetation.

Xiao Zheng looked up and saw the two towering mountains, like two giants standing there, with only a narrow path between them. The grandeur of the heavens and the insignificance of humanity were both vividly highlighted in that moment.

Xiao Zheng felt a deep emotion in his heart.

Even though he had reached the realm of a Martial Saint, in such a vast world, he still felt a sense of awe.

Compared to this expansive vastness, humanity is ultimately too small. Even if one can reach the pinnacle of martial arts, what does it matter? In a hundred years, they will still turn into a pile of bones.

Vaguely, as Xiao Zheng stood before this mountain pass, he fell into a wondrous state. His soul seemed to leave his body, merging with the heavens and earth, roaming freely in this space.

In that instant, he experienced a feeling that was indescribably delightful, like a fish in water, leisurely and unrestrained, with the greatest freedom of the body.

"Huh?"

Everyone saw Xiao Zheng suddenly standing there motionless, stopping his movements, and they all became confused.

What happened to Mr. Xiao?

Evil Eyes glanced over, his eyes suddenly widening in astonishment.

"Mr. Xiao, he’s... he’s reached enlightenment!"

"Enlightenment?"

Hearing these two words, Long Qie and the others were shocked. They all widened their eyes, looking at Xiao Zheng, not only with delight but also with envy.

For a martial artist, enlightenment is something that is hard to come by!

Once in a state of enlightenment, the human body’s potential can be developed a hundredfold or even thousands of times over. The understanding of martial arts can be greatly enhanced in a brief moment!

In just a moment, one might achieve what others take years or decades to comprehend.

Enlightenment doesn’t directly raise strength, but it points the way for future martial arts progress! From then on, one can advance boldly, almost without encountering any bottlenecks.

This is an incredible opportunity that all warriors envy, but only those with extremely high perception and fortuitous luck have even a slight chance of entering this state.

"I didn’t expect Mr. Xiao to reach enlightenment." Titan laughed and said, "We must all guard here and ensure that nothing unexpected happens to disturb Mr. Xiao’s enlightenment progress."

"Alright."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Enlightenment is also easily broken.

If the state is disrupted, though not rendering previous efforts useless, the loss would still be significant!

Everyone naturally put in all their effort to ensure that nothing unexpected occurred during Xiao Zheng’s enlightenment process.

Thus, some of them quickly moved to guard around Xiao Zheng, even though there was no one there, they remained fully alert, not daring to relax in the slightest.

This continued for about an hour, during which nothing unexpected happened, and everyone sighed with slight relief.

Buzz buzz...

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a faint sound from the distant mountain pass. Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned serious as they looked towards the mountain pass, and their expressions changed immediately.

From the mountain pass flew a large group of vampires!

They resembled a dark cloud, closing in quickly from the mountain pass.

"Damn it, Evil Eyes, you’re a Martial Saint with the strongest power. Stay here to guard Mr. Xiao. The rest of us will go forward and stop that group of vampires," Long Qie shouted and rushed forward.

In this small group, Xiao Zheng was undoubtedly the leader, but when he wasn’t present, Long Qie’s status was the highest, so he naturally issued commands at this moment.

"Alright."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Long Qie’s decision, without a doubt, was very wise. At the moment, only by doing this could they minimize the disturbance from the vampires to Xiao Zheng.

"Attack!"

Long Qie roared, leading Catherine, Ten Killings, and Medici to confront the group of vampires.

"Someone is rushing over?" From a distance, Raymond, the vampire leader, was a bit surprised when he saw this scene.

Previously, the vampires planned to blockade all of Europe, and this mountain pass was a very secretive passage to enter and exit Europe.

He had been sent to guard this mountain pass.

However, while guarding here, they hardly encountered anyone!

"Could they be enemies of the vampires?" Raymond then focused his gaze on Long Qie and the others, identifying them carefully, and his eyes immediately filled with joy.

"It really is them!"

At this moment, Raymond laughed up to the sky.

Among the Blood Clan, Raymond was considered a genius within the clan. At a young age, he had already reached the pinnacle of a quasi-Martial Saint!

In his heart, he was filled with a desire for achievements and glory.

This Sky Net turmoil was undoubtedly a great opportunity to make a name for himself!

As long as he could capture the leader of Sky Net, or one of their members, and return to the Blood Clan, he would receive the greatest praise.

However, when assigned to guard this mountain pass, he had completely abandoned that hope,

In such a godforsaken place, how could anyone appear?

Unexpectedly, the goddess of fate favored him, actually letting Evil God and his group pass through here!

"My warriors, the time has come to make achievements and build a career. Charge with me!"

Raymond shouted, rushing forward.

Who cares about Evil God?

Even a Martial Saint is nothing more than a paper tiger before his army!

Raymond had utmost confidence in himself!

He was a genius, never having lost since childhood, and this time would be no different.

The two groups clashed like two torrents, crashing into each other violently.

...

Just then, Xiao Zheng’s body shuddered as he sensed the intense killing aura from the outside, awakening from the state of enlightenment.

Then, he saw the group of vampires ahead.

"In such majestic heaven and earth, having some bugs appear is truly a disappointing matter."

Xiao Zheng muttered, a blade-like sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Now, he was incredibly formidable!

Anything within his perceptible domain was almost as clear as day to him!

At this point, Martial Saints of the same level were no longer his opponents. Even two or three Martial Saints of the same level were dismissed. Unless geniuses like the Netherworld King or the Werewolf Leader appeared, he was practically invincible.
