Chapter 1043: Death's shadow
Zheng He sliced a Posthumous people warrior and allowed the blood to splatter over his face.
He loved the warm blood.
Of course, he had never told someone else about this interest, as killing was a sin in Saint Light Hall.
He hadn’t had much opportunity to experience this feeling in the past. Only when they executed some heretics was he able to quench his thirst.
Right, he was in charge of executions in Saint Light Hall.
He had many chances to leave this role, which not many people liked to promote somewhere else, such as interrogation, investigation, scouting, etc.
But he rejected them. Everyone felt that his faith was firm. He was willing to give everything to God and use his blade to protect his faith.
But only he knew that it was because he couldn’t let go of this addiction.
When he was on the outskirts killing those Posthumous people tribes, he felt like it was heaven. But now, he liked seigeing more.
There was resistance, and it was more intense, which made things more interesting.He raised his blade. He wouldn’t be interested in such a bone blade in the past. Only barbarians like the Posthumous people would stick with bone weapons.
Saint Light Hall had upgraded to metal equipment a long time ago.
But this blade was different. It used an advanced undead bone as a blueprint; after magical work was done on it, it gave a green light.
This was the outsider’s weapon!
As one of the few level seven warriors, Zheng He knew more than ordinary warriors. Although his heart was similar to the others, he wasn’t too interested in the new world.
It didn’t stop him from loving the shiny weapons.
He obtained this blade from a Posthumous people elder and fell in love with it. He even tossed the weapon that he used for many years.
There was a special feeling when he sliced a person in half with this blade.
“Zheng He, quick!”
An old voice reminded him. This was the person in charge of the squad, Palace Attendant Nate.
He was one of the Sword Guards that stood at the entrance of Saint Light Hall. Apart from the Saint Father, Saintess, and the three heads, he was among the most famous experts. He was very close to level eight. Maybe after this battle, he would become a member of the God Servant Hall.
God Servant Hall was where the strongest warriors cultivated.
Of course, it was where people who failed to become the heads of the three armies went to.
Zheng He knew that God Servant Hall went all out in this battle. Apart from Nate and himself, the other two level seven experts were from there.
Zheng He scoffed. He was unwilling to listen to Nate. He even wondered how strong a statue at the entrance could be. Only people like him who saw blood and tasted life could improve.
But at this time, he saw Ye Zhongming.
He didn’t care much about him at the start.
Ye Zhongming removed his equipment when he appeared and was wearing white equipment. He was silent and even formed a battle formation with the Posthumous people. He looked like a slightly stronger warrior.
He looked over in shock only when he noticed a familiar aura disappear. He realized this ordinary-looking guy had pulled a purple blade from his ally.
“Who are you?”
Nate frowned. There weren’t many level seven warriors in Saint Light Hall.
Ye Zhongming pushed the level seven expert away and smiled at these people. He retreated into the crowd, and the Posthumous people warriors instantly covered him.
“You want to leave?”
Zheng He shouted and chased, but the Posthumous people blocked him. This group was only levels three and four, and the highest level was level five. He raised his blade and wanted to slice them.
But he felt a warning and tilted his head. He sensed a warm streak and instantly heard a low scoff.
Zheng He was familiar with that sound. It was something someone would make when they died.
What happened?
He saw a silver light.
At this point, a second glow of light appeared in the crowd. That was fired from a Posthumous person, and the target was Nate.
“Attendant, be careful!”
Zheng He knew that his shout would be later than the attack, but he couldn’t care about so much. He actually sensed some threat from that attack.
He recognized that it was a gun the outsiders had brought, but this was the first time he had seen one that was so powerful.
Nate dodged, but he wasn’t as lucky as Zheng He. This bullet brushed his arm, and the armor was broken. Fresh blood flowed out.
The third shot was fired. The target this time wasn’t the three remaining level seven experts but a level six warrior. This warrior was unlucky and was hit in the forehead. He died immediately.
“Coward, fight me head-on!”
The squad lost a level seven and six experts in a few seconds. There was also another level five. One must know that level five warriors that could enter this squad had special abilities and were as useful as level six warriors.
This was a considerable loss that sent chills down all their spines.
They continued to attack the warriors before them, and they wanted to charge at the sinister outsider, so he stopped firing that weapon, which was like a grim reaper.
“This is war.”
A voice floated over, which frustrated Zheng He.
If they talked about fighting head-on, Saint Light Hall didn’t do it. They sent their experts into the city while they came to kill these people who were weaker than them.
Gunshots continued. These squad members recognized the voice, but the bullets were too quick. Although they were ready, the shot meant one death.
They naturally wouldn’t understand how terrifying the combination of a green sniper rifle with a silver bullet along with Space Stack was.
Apart from the three level-seven people, the rest couldn’t react. It was too quick!
Zheng He did something surprising.
