Chapter 128: The Expert from the Secret Police

"His agility is impressive, but I wonder about his actual strength?"

Flame Cloud Evil God stood tall with arrogance, his gaze fixed on Zhao Zheng. Pointing at his own face, he said, "Come on, hit me here. Don't hold back; I can take it."

Seeing the old man's show-off, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Good!"

As the words left his mouth, Zhao Zheng charged forward and unleashed the Dragon Ascension Regret technique!

"Roar!"

The dragon's roar echoed through the void.

A pure energy-formed five-clawed golden dragon emerged from Zhao Zheng's palm, rushing towards the enemy.

For this strike, Zhao Zheng utilized sixty percent of his strength!

Upon seeing this, Flame Cloud Evil God's pupils constricted, instantly regretting his previous bravado.

He didn't dare withstand the blow directly and quickly raised both arms to block the attack.

"Boom!"

The energy dragon struck Flame Cloud Evil God, causing a violent explosion.

A massive crater instantly appeared at the site.

Flowers and trees were all pulverized!

Flame Cloud Evil God was blasted away, falling to the ground.

However, this guy seemed to have some hardening exercises under his belt, and his defense was far more formidable than Heaven Wrecker Earth Defiler's.

Even with Zhao Zheng's sixty percent strength in that strike, he couldn't kill him.

He was only blasted with blood covering his entire body.

"Eighteen Palm Dragon Subduing?"

Flame Cloud Evil God, lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and asked, "This long-lost martial art, how did you learn it?"

"Flame Cloud Evil God, are these your final words?"

Zhao Zheng replied calmly, "I know you have the Toad Power, so use it quickly! Otherwise, when I strike again, you won't have another chance."

Upon hearing this, Flame Cloud Evil God's expression changed, and he immediately flipped over, now lying face down on the ground.

He propped his palms against the ground, bent his legs, and transformed into a toad-like posture.

"Ribbit!"

A strange sound suddenly emanated from Flame Cloud Evil God's abdomen.

Simultaneously, his chin visibly swelled and then contracted, repeating this cycle.

"Ribbit!"

At this moment, Flame Cloud Evil God resembled a giant toad.

The long-lost Toad Power, unseen for over a decade, reappeared in the martial world!

Using the Toad Power directly indicated that Flame Cloud Evil God had witnessed Zhao Zheng's prowess and realized that this young man was his strongest opponent ever.

He had to give it his all to stand a chance against his opponent.

The next moment,

"Thud!"

Flame Cloud Evil God kicked off with both legs, and his entire body shot up like a missile, colliding with Zhao Zheng.

His speed was astonishing!

It even produced a buzzing sound.

But Zhao Zheng was already prepared for this move.

His two palms extended horizontally, pushing forward.

This move was called Shocking a Hundred Li, an incredibly powerful technique from the Eighteen Palm Dragon Subduing.

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying dragon's roar suddenly echoed.

Then,

The two clashed!

In this instant, both revealed their full strength, and the outcome of the battle would be decided in this strike!

...

"Screech, screech, screech..."

Amidst the smoke from the explosion, Zhao Zheng's figure continuously retreated.

He took over a dozen steps back before finally stopping.

His body was filled with surging qi and blood, and his arms trembled, all effects of the recent collision.

However,

Compared to Zhao Zheng, Flame Cloud Evil God's situation was far more dire.

He had blood all over his face, and his body flew backward like a cannonball, traveling over a hundred meters before knocking down several large trees and finally coming to a halt after colliding with a hill.

In terms of martial arts, the offensive power of the Toad Power couldn't compare to the Eighteen Palm Dragon Subduing.

Moreover, Zhao Zheng had the additional boost of the Ninefold Sun Divine Skill.

Regarding martial prowess, the current Flame Cloud Evil God was likely at the Innate Realm.

Zhao Zheng, on the other hand, had already reached the Innate Apex.

Whether in martial arts or martial prowess, Flame Cloud Evil God couldn't match Zhao Zheng.

If Flame Cloud Evil God chose a roundabout strategy, he might have been able to prolong the fight with Zhao Zheng, but going head-to-head would undoubtedly result in defeat.

So, from the moment he fell for Zhao Zheng's deception and used the Toad Power, his fate was sealed.

The next moment, Zhao Zheng leaped into the air, his entire body soaring high into the sky, and then, like a divine eagle, he pounced down on Fire God Evil God from above.

At the same time, he unleashed a palm strike.

In the instant he struck, a dragon-shaped shadow appeared behind Zhao Zheng.

This move was called "Flying Dragon in the Sky"!

It was the second palm of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing, a powerful technique that utilized the momentum of a downward strike from above.

Before the palm even landed, an immense sense of oppression, like a mountain, bore down on Fire God Evil God.

Already severely injured, Fire God Evil God could no longer maintain his composure and shouted out loud, "I concede!"

Despite Fire God Evil God's tendency to talk about life and death during martial arts competitions, he was actually a very fearful person.

When his life was threatened, he didn't care about face and would readily concede or beg for mercy.

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng immediately retracted his palm and landed beside Fire God Evil God.

He had never intended to be ruthless, and his actions just now were only to force Fire God Evil God to concede.

After all, there was no real grudge between them.

Moreover, Fire God Evil God's existence was important to the Heavenly Mandate Child...

【Congratulations! You defeated the Preheaven Master, earning 32,175 Martial Arts Points and 16,088 Temporary Psychic Points.】

Seeing the prompt, Zhao Zheng was delighted.

Fire God Evil God had contributed too much...

However, on the surface, he remained vigilant.

He knew that Fire God Evil God was petty and vengeful, and whoever forced him to concede would earn his enmity.

This guy would definitely try to sneak attack his opponent after surrendering.

As expected, Zhao Zheng noticed that Fire God Evil God's right hand was reaching towards him.

He immediately spoke up, "I advise you not to be foolish. Your hidden weapons are useless against me. I'm in a good mood tonight, so I spared your life. If you truly want to die, I can grant that wish too!"

Hearing this, Fire God Evil God's expression turned despondent, and he abandoned his plan to sneak attack.

He lay on the ground, lifting his head to look at Zhao Zheng:

"Who exactly are you?"

...

A moment later, Fire God Evil God returned to the mental hospital and lay in his bed.

His body was covered in injuries, with several broken bones, making it difficult for him to move. It was Zhao Zheng who had brought him back.

As for Zhao Zheng, he sat in the chair across from Fire God Evil God.

The martial arts exchange had concluded, and both of them were now calm and composed.

"I never imagined that such a master like you would appear in the martial world!" Fire God Evil God exclaimed, his expression desolate.

After a pause, Fire God Evil God suddenly spoke again, "You should be careful of the Secret Police. If they find out about you, they won't let you off easily."

Hearing about the Secret Police, Zhao Zheng's interest was piqued.

He had heard about the Secret Police more than once from others.

"Do you know a lot about the Secret Police?" Zhao Zheng asked, "Can you tell me more?"

Fire God Evil God hesitated for a moment before replying, "I can tell you a bit. Actually, I used to be a member of the Secret Police. I became an assassin because I enjoy competing with masters, but the main reason was the Secret Police's orders!"

"Later, I grew tired of the Secret Police and faked my death to escape, hiding here..."

Whether this was true or not, Zhao Zheng didn't know, nor did he care to find out.

He asked, "Are there many masters in the Secret Police?"

...
