Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Divine Axe, Divine Maiden!

Xiao Zheng touched his side, where a wound had appeared, blood gushing out. Xiao Zheng’s mouth curved into an excited smile as he spoke, "It’s rare that I meet someone who can injure me, yet today I’ve encountered two, truly exhilarating."

Annie, holding her slender sword, pointed it at Xiao Zheng, the tip trembling continuously. With a cold expression, she said, "Then I’ll make sure you have more than enough excitement!"

By now, she had realized that Xiao Zheng was a true powerhouse, difficult to handle, so she dropped her seductive demeanor and became serious.

She would need to confront him with all her strength.

Long Qie, wielding a battle axe, had just knocked down a Death Soldier. He stomped heavily on the ground, and like an arrow, he charged forward, arriving in front of Annie.

He sneered, "Little lady, let’s see how tough you are."

As he spoke, the axe traced a stunning arc through the air, slashing horizontally towards Annie’s neck. The wind howled fiercely, the strike was sharp, causing Annie’s expression to change.

She didn’t have time to speak, her body hastily retreating two steps before using her sword to block. With a loud clang, the axe struck hard against the slender sword.

Annie, gripping the hilt with one hand and supporting the tip with the other, bore the heavy blow of the huge axe. The sword bent alarmingly in a single instant!

It nearly broke.

Annie screamed sharply, the hand supporting the tip suddenly flicked hard on the blade of the sword. Then, the sword dramatically transformed, straightening from its nearly broken curve in an instant, then released a tremendous elastic force.

Boom!

This powerful force directly flung Long Qie away, crashing him into a pillar with a loud bang.

Even his dark battle axe now bore a huge notch on its blade!

"Huh?"

A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Zheng’s face — this scene had defied common sense, with Annie’s slender sword having flung away Long Qie’s heavy axe!

It was as if an egg had shattered a stone, unbelievable!

"I’ve said it before, my sword is a Divine Weapon. With this sword in hand, even if your strength is a bit greater than mine, you can’t handle me!"

Annie said coldly, her wrist flicking slightly, causing the sword to emit a crisp, resounding hum that echoed throughout the venue.

"Hahaha, relying on weapons is ultimately inferior. Only with bare hands can one truly tap into the human body’s limits. Indeed, a woman is still a woman."

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, his expression becoming calm as his muscles tensed, and he burst forward as fast as the wind, reaching Annie in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm, ignorant of death!"

Annie snorted coldly as her wrist moved, scattering a swath of sword light that, from afar, looked like a silvery sky canopy falling over Xiao Zheng’s head.

"Is that so?"

In the midst of the sword light, Xiao Zheng’s eyes turned sharp, then he suddenly launched a punch, and with a loud bang, it pierced through the sword net and struck Annie’s chest directly.

Puff!

Annie spat a mouthful of blood, her body flying backward; she staggered several steps on the ground before barely stabilizing herself, shock filling her eyes.

"How... did you see my opening?"

Annie exclaimed.

It turned out that the swath of sword light she had cast appeared seamless, but it actually contained a significant gap without any defense.

Only because the move had been executed with such an extensive display of sword light, covering the vulnerability, it was virtually impossible for anyone to notice.

Even if someone did notice, they wouldn’t dare to attack.

In such a duel among masters, a single misjudgment could lead to devastating injury.

Xiao Zheng’s eyes were icy, devoid of any emotion as he said, "You’ve placed too much focus on your weapon, neglecting your own training.

I can predict your next move and your entire technique just by observing the subtle movements of your muscles. Whatever opening there is, I can naturally see it at a glance."

Annie sneered, "Save your fancy talk, you’re just braver and luckier. I don’t believe you can withstand me next time!"

"Then you try."

Xiao Zheng also sneered.

Annie didn’t reply, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her body, like a gentle willow in the wind, floated forward, lightly arriving in front of Xiao Zheng.

The tip of her sword flashed, dangerously and cunningly aiming for Xiao Zheng’s throat.

"Good movement technique."

Xiao Zheng applauded, Annie’s movement technique looked very beautiful, seemingly harmless, but it hid extreme peril!

If underestimated, one would suffer an attack as fierce as a storm.

Xiao Zheng didn’t dare to be negligent, his body suddenly shifted to the side, the long sword scraping past his neck, his skin feeling a wave of chilliness.

Annie reacted swiftly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly turned her thrust into a horizontal swing, her long sword slashing towards Xiao Zheng’s throat—if it hit, with the sharpness of this sword, it would surely decapitate him.

"Hmph."

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, at this critical moment, he suddenly extended a hand and flicked it lightning-fast against the blade, a massive force instantly surged out.

Clang!

The long sword trembled violently, Annie felt a sharp pain in her wrist, nearly losing her grip.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng pursued his advantage, slightly tilting his body so his back was facing Annie. Then, like a cannonball, he shot out, and with a bang, his back fiercely collided with Annie’s body.

Bang!

Annie felt as if she had been struck by a mountain, a sharp pain erupted in her chest, even breaking a rib, and her body was directly sent flying, soaring five to six meters through the air before heavily falling to the ground.

The long sword in her hand flew out of her grasp.

"Not worth a blow."

Xiao Zheng’s expression was cold. At this moment, he certainly wasn’t going to hold back, taking a large step forward, ready to end Annie’s life.

Xiao Zheng’s killing intent was intense.

From this woman’s entrance, she possessed extremely sharp intuition, and her own strength was astonishing. Although not comparable to Hozon, she was indeed a formidable opponent!

Since they were already enemies, Xiao Zheng naturally wouldn’t consider letting the tiger return to the mountain; he prepared to settle things here once and for all.

Once Evil God took action, he showed no mercy!

Not to mention showing any pity or tenderness.

"Don’t even think about hurting my master, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, just at that moment, a loud roar was heard. Then, abruptly, an old man with white hair charged out from an angle. He was burly, with a ruddy complexion, and his strength was astounding.

Xiao Zheng was just rushing towards Annie when this white-haired old man suddenly emerged from the side, his fist tearing through the air like a cannonball aimed at Xiao Zheng’s forehead.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Zheng shouted fiercely. Facing this fierce punch, he also didn’t dare to be careless, quickly raising his fist to counter. With a bang, the fists collided, both of them taking a step back at the same time.

"Such strong strength."

After this brief exchange, Xiao Zheng became vigilant. This suddenly appearing white-haired elder actually possessed strength no less than Annie’s, even surpassing her in some aspects!

[Just to explain, some readers mentioned that the protagonist is so powerful yet still struggles against someone like Hozon. It has been mentioned earlier that Hozon is very clever, and his strength is not weak. Additionally, the protagonist is stronger than him but hasn’t started a true overwhelming onslaught,

intentionally holding back against Hozon for a reason that will be useful later. Killing him too early would mean losing something the protagonist later wants to obtain. Thus, the protagonist is playing a game, gradually progressing, and later it will be revealed why he didn’t kill Hozon earlier.

Another point: the protagonist’s true strength hasn’t been revealed yet, against someone weaker than himself, it would be a waste to unleash his true power.

Do you know what the protagonist wants later? Sky Net intelligence is extremely powerful!]
