My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1943: Secret Tale

Xiao Zheng just glanced over, causing Eric to feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He never imagined that Xiao Zheng’s strength could be so formidable!

Even Joshua, the Archbishop, wasn’t a match for Xiao Zheng, and was almost instantly killed!

This was thanks to the thirteenth Golden Bone he obtained from Arthur. If he hadn’t implanted it in time, it would have taken Xiao Zheng quite some time to kill Joshua.

After implanting the thirteenth Golden Bone, his power doubled in growth!

In terms of real combat power, Xiao Zheng now rivals those at the Mid Marvelous Realm. Even when facing a Peak of Supreme Realm expert, he could ensure his own safety!

Joshua was merely at the Early-stage Perfect Realm, naturally no match for him!

"Now it’s your turn."

"Hand over the Golden Bone on you."

Xiao Zheng sneered, a flicker of mockery in his eyes.

To him, Eric was just a little fat lamb delivered right to his door. He had been troubled over where to find the next Golden Bone, and now Eric had delivered himself.

Seeing Eric’s fearful expression, Xiao Zheng then laughed and said, "Don’t be nervous. Consider how considerate you were to deliver yourself; I might leave your body intact. The scenery here is beautiful; being buried here wouldn’t be a bad deal."

Damn!

Upon hearing this, Eric cursed inwardly!

But he didn’t dare to insult Xiao Zheng out loud, especially remembering how Joshua had ended up buried eternally in the snow. But if he had to die, he surely wouldn’t accept it.

"No matter what, I have to fight!"

"All of you, go!"

Eric suddenly shouted to the twelve Holy Temple Knights beside him.

Although all the Holy Temple Knights were Martial Saint Realm experts, they had little autonomy. They were more like Death Soldiers nurtured by various powers, utterly obedient to their master’s orders.

Therefore, the instant Eric’s words fell, the twelve Holy Temple Knights attack Xiao Zheng without any hesitation.

As for Eric, he tried to turn and flee!

He wanted to use the twelve Holy Temple Knights as a distraction to buy himself time to escape. Although doing this would lead the knights to their deaths, he was beyond caring in his desperation to save his own life.

"Do you really think you can escape?"

Xiao Zheng looked at Eric’s figure rushing through the wind and snow, another trace of sarcasm flickering in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the twelve Holy Temple Knights had already charged in front of him.

Xiao Zheng didn’t waste words, unleashing his full power.

Like a tiger amidst a flock of sheep, every punch he threw claimed the life of a Holy Temple Knight!

The battle was so fierce that there wasn’t even a complete corpse left behind!

Xiao Zheng struck twelve blows, killing all twelve Holy Temple Knights!

All that remained was the snow stained with bright red, no armor, weapons, or bodies left behind!

And by this time, Eric had only managed to escape less than 500 meters!

Xiao Zheng didn’t even need to fly; with a few leaps, he easily caught up and delivered a powerful kick to Eric’s back. The immense force sent Eric skidding across the icy lake like a bowling ball!

When Eric painfully got up, he found that the skin on his cheek had been scraped off!

Blood kept pouring from his wounds, and with his fierce expression, he looked like a ghoul escaped from the depths of Hell!

But Eric’s eyes had no ferocity, only fear!

"You, stay away from me!"

Eric screamed in terror.

If given another chance, he would never seek trouble with Xiao Zheng again.

But in this world, there is no medicine for regret.

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, stepped forward, and stomped directly on Eric’s chest.

This step broke half of his ribs!

Luckily, Eric was a Martial Saint Realm master; otherwise, this step alone would have taken his life!

Even so, his mouth was gushing blood!

Xiao Zheng withdrew his foot, and without a glance at him, took the Golden Bone from Eric’s embrace. Then, in front of him, he implanted this fourteenth Golden Bone into his body.

Seeing this scene, Eric’s eyes flashed with shock.

"I really have to thank you."

"Despite your busy schedule, you traveled countless miles to deliver Golden Bones to me. If there were bars and restaurants nearby, I’d invite you for a drink."

Xiao Zheng grinned.

When he implanted the fourteenth Golden Bone within himself, he felt his strength increase again.

Upon hearing this, Eric, whose injuries were slightly better but still unable to move, could at least speak: "Let me go! I beg you!"

A Saint Heir ranked seventh in the Bright Church, begging for mercy!

If this scene were to spread, the Bright Church’s reputation would be utterly disgraced!

Xiao Zheng slowly shook his head and said, "I won’t let you go. You are destined to die here today. Your fate was sealed when you kidnapped Zimo to threaten me."

After saying this, he prepared to end Eric’s life.

Seeing this, panic flashed in Eric’s eyes. He swiftly waved his hand, shouting, "Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me! I can tell you something! Isn’t the Golden Bone very important to you? As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll tell you where you can find more Golden Bones!"

What!

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with surprise: "You know where to find more Golden Bones?"

"That’s right! I swear I’m not lying!" Seeing him take the bait, Eric inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "And I promise you, it’s not just one Golden Bone; you can find many more!"

"Where? Tell me quickly." Xiao Zheng demanded coldly.

Hearing this, Eric slowly shook his head and said, "This concerns my life. Unless you promise not to kill me, I won’t tell you about the Golden Bones, even if I die!"

"Are you threatening me?" Xiao Zheng asked, a grin forming.

Eric shook his head and said, "I just want to live. I’m young; I don’t want to die."

"Fine, if you tell me the whereabouts of the Golden Bones, I promise not to kill you." Xiao Zheng said, "But you must ensure the information is true, or you will die all the same!"

Eric nodded, and then slowly began to tell the story...
