Chapter 18

"Before I could find you, you actually came to me!!! Very good!!!"

Zheng Chen looked at the muscular man in front of him with a faint expression. How to put it, he remembered reading this line in some book, probably noted down when he was bored. The basic source was from a villain.

The man's injuries had already been treated, and the bandages wrapped around his face looked somewhat comical.

Noticing the suppressed laughter on Xiska's face, Pi Zong's expression turned extremely gloomy. He glared at Zheng Chen with hatred and reached behind him to pull a woman with two braids, "Pearl!"

The Dragon of the Contract?

That woman actually disappeared?

Staring at Pi Zong, Zheng Chen's eyes widened slightly. The moment Pi Zong and Pearl made contact, he felt a familiar sensation... but it was interrupted when he casually threw Xiska as a projectile.

Yes, it was the same feeling when Long Wei and Qia Ya were about to make contact.

At the same time, Pi Zong's hands were covered with strange weapons: a giant toothed scissors in his left hand and a fierce dragon head in his right. The woman turned into a weapon?

"Qia Ya!" Long Wei quickly stood in front of Qia Ya. After making a contract with the Holy War Angel, the entity was not something an ordinary person could easily contend with. Perhaps Zheng Chen could have suppressed Pi Zong before, but now, if they fought, Zheng Chen would probably be killed in one move... The Holy War Angel involved supernatural powers, and ordinary people remained ordinary.

"Get out of the way!!"

As Long Wei was about to make the contract, Pi Zong had already charged at Zheng Chen with a fierce momentum. For this young man who had brutally trampled on his face not long ago, Pi Zong hated him so much that he almost wanted to skin and dismember him.

Even though Zheng Chen didn't say a word, he had always been the target of Pi Zong's hatred.

When the giant scissors in Pi Zong's left hand pressed down on Zheng Chen, the young man who made him grind his teeth in hatred suddenly disappeared?

"Below." Pearl's shadow appeared behind Pi Zong, giving him a hint. Without hesitation, Pi Zong's right dragon head smashed downward!

Quickly retracting the dagger he had just raised, Zheng Chen immediately retreated.

"Hmph." Pi Zong sneered. Even though his speed couldn't match Zheng Chen, at this distance... speed alone wasn't enough, "You think you can dodge? Too naive!!!"

A sudden burst of intense lightning from the dragon head enveloped Zheng Chen.

"..."

"Che, is he dead? Not even a scream." Glancing at the Zheng Chen who had been hit and flown away, Pi Zong stepped closer, "What a fragile guy."

"Pi Zong, be careful."

"I don't need your reminder! Even if he's dead, I'll feed him to my little pets." With a sinister smile, Pi Zong glanced at the blue-haired girl with her hands clasped in front of her chest, "She looks good, should fetch a good price."

"Pi Zong, be careful!!"

As Pi Zong's attention was diverted to the blue-haired girl, Zheng Chen, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up. A flash of cold light in the darkness swiftly stabbed at Pi Zong's side.

The sudden attack made Pi Zong break out in a cold sweat and roar. The dragon head on his right hand burst with intense lightning, enveloping himself completely. Without hesitation, Zheng Chen instantly threw away his dagger and retreated.

The constant hints from that woman were troublesome.

"Hah... Hah... That was dangerous, almost got hit." Pi Zong panted heavily, "I guess I can only feel safe after cutting off your head, huh?"

"Let's go." Zheng Chen pulled the worried blue-haired girl and ran. He had already noticed that Long Wei and Qia Ya had made a contract. The weapons on Long Wei's body were completely different from Pi Zong's, a set of black double-curved blades and chains.

"Want to run? Stay here!!" Just as Pi Zong raised the dragon head on his right hand, a chain blade stabbed in front of him.

"Your opponent is me!"

"…Oh? A Holy War Angel? Very good." Stopping, Pi Zong instantly changed his target and began fighting with Long Wei.

"Is the power of the Holy War Angel really that strong?" Kude couldn't help but say. Zheng Chen was already very powerful in his eyes, but he was so easily 'dealt with' by Pi Zong.

"Isn't that obvious?" Xiska snorted, pointing at Long Wei, "Look! This is Long Wei's true strength. If he had been like this before, that bastard would have been killed instantly."

"Che... In the end, it's just two against one." Kude snorted, indicating that he wasn't envious... But speaking of which, since the Holy War Angel has such powerful strength, the blue-haired girl by Zheng Chen's side is also a Holy War Angel, and a higher-level one at that.

"NO, NO, NO, for those who have made a contract with a Holy War Angel, it's not just 1+1. Like the current Long Wei, as long as he has the strength, any number of ordinary people will be easily defeated." Xiska explained proudly, feeling quite happy to see Zheng Chen at a disadvantage.

"Even you?" Kude glanced sideways at Xiska.

"Would he dare to lay a hand on me!"

"Can humans really not fight against those who have made a contract?"

Xiska hesitated for a moment. Nothing is certain, so she answered uncertainly, "Maybe, so his escape was quite wise..." Leaning against a stone wall, Zheng Chen's hands were constantly shaping metal pieces, the blood from his palms seeping into the uncured metal, giving it a bright color.

"Is your hand okay?"

"Fine." Zheng Chen answered almost instantly. The thing he was making required precise accuracy. Even though the patterns could provide high assistance in shaping, they were only auxiliary. To achieve the ideal effect, he needed to concentrate.

"..." The blue-haired girl hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you bandage it first?"

Zheng Chen didn't even blink, "No time."

The parts were formed one by one in Zheng Chen's hands. The thing he was making was a crossbow. He had seen the process many times at the blacksmith's, and he remembered most of it. Some hard parts didn't need much processing, and although the crossbow arm required multiple adjustments, there was no time for that now.

Zheng Chen didn't need to worry much about the elasticity of the metal. The patterns could create metal wires that were both resilient and flexible, and making a powerful crossbow arm wasn't difficult. This thing was indeed fond of metal.

The force was a bit high... After quickly assembling the parts, Zheng Chen pulled the bowstring. Although he could pull it, the bowstring also hurt his fingers. He had to make a finger guard to barely pull it fully.

It could only be used once in battle.

Leaning against the stone wall, Zheng Chen observed the battle situation with Long Wei and began making a second crossbow. Since there was no extra time to load it, he would use quantity to make up for it.

The blue-haired girl bent down slightly and reached for the metal crossbow on the ground. It was very heavy, and she could barely lift it, "Actually, I have a better way..."

Zheng Chen glanced at the blue-haired girl indifferently, "This isn't your fight."

Not directly saying she had no combat ability was already a restraint.

"This is part of the repayment." The blue-haired girl countered.

"..." Zheng Chen paused, loaded the second crossbow with an arrow, and stood up, "Don't say that again, you're not suitable for such talk... hide here well."

Carrying the two crossbows, Zheng Chen hid his figure and explored the surroundings, looking for a good place to strike.

On the other side, Long Wei also encountered a bad situation. As he fought, he became increasingly exhausted. After re-engaging with Pi Zong a few times, he immediately took several steps back, breaking away from the fight. Then Qia Ya sprang out from behind him and lay on the ground.

"I'm starving, completely out of energy!!"

"…This is the worst situation." Long Wei, sweating profusely, looked at Pi Zong with a malicious smile. Holy War Angels needed energy to fight, and they recovered energy in various ways. Like Qia Ya, she needed to eat a lot of food to recover energy.

"Troublesome, Long Wei, run fast!!"

Realizing the situation was wrong, Xiska immediately took action, picking up a machine gun and firing at Pi Zong. The bullets were all blocked by the shield in front of him. Looking back, Long Wei had already picked up Qia Ya and run down the mountain.

On the other side, after Xiska fired, she and Kude also chose to retreat.

"None of you will escape! Spiral Call!"

Rampant electricity struck in front of Long Wei, directly blasting him back. Seeing this, Xiska naturally stopped.

"Hmph, it's over." Pi Zong laughed smugly, just as he was about to continue speaking, a sharp whistling sound came from behind him, scaring him into immediately deploying his defenses. Even so, he could only barely block the incoming crossbow bolt.

This crossbow bolt had a very peculiar repelling force, repelling his defenses. He couldn't block it!!

Shouting in his mind, at the moment the bolt broke through the shield, Pi Zong raised his left hand, and the giant scissors barely blocked it in front of his chest, hitting the heavy bolt, "Damn!!"

Pi Zong's muscular body was violently thrown back. Struggling to get up from the ground, his left hand could no longer be raised. Even though the weapon transformed by the Holy War Angel gave him great destructive power, his body was still that of a normal person. That blow was fatal, and even blocking it caused injury.

His left arm was severely fractured.

"Oh? Didn't run?" Xiska was also surprised to see Zheng Chen reappear. He casually stuck a new crossbow bolt into the ground and drew out another crossbow from his back.

"…Uh."

Pi Zong, who was cursing, was stunned. Where did this guy get such a powerful crossbow?

The second bolt couldn't be blocked!

Pi Zong, pointed at by the crossbow, didn't dare to move. At this moment, Zheng Chen stepped on the trigger of the first crossbow, reloaded the bowstring, and loaded a new bolt.

"It's over."
