432: Chapter 432 Resolution and New Dangers

If he saved them, he would seize the initiative.

While this person was busy saving people, he would only need to wait for the Saint to descend.

When that time came, it would be the moment of this person's demise.

Archbishop Yu Zhengping looked at Lu Zheng with curiosity, wanting to see what choice he would make—whether to save the people or remain here.

"I will give you a chance. As long as you join our Holy Spirit Sect, what happened before can be forgiven."

"What do you say?!"

Archbishop Yu Zhengping said, but just as he finished speaking, a voice rang out from outside.

"Lu Zheng, don't worry, I'm still out here."

"I've already taken care of everyone else, so you don't have to worry about their safety. I have quite a few people to kill on my end, so hold on for a bit. Once I'm done killing them, I'll come help you!"

The voice reached both Lu Zheng's and Archbishop Yu Zhengping's ears.

The slight smile on Archbishop Yu Zhengping's face froze. Hearing this voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with disbelief, anger, and a trace of hatred:

"You're not alone."

"When did I ever say I came alone?"

"Fuck!!!"

"How I hate this!"

"Why, why..."

Archbishop Yu Zhengping's emotions were collapsing, and he roared in unwilling frustration. If looks could kill, Lu Zheng would have died countless times already.

Meanwhile, Lu Zheng just watched quietly from a distance.

"If you leave now, perhaps you can still find a satisfying place to be buried."

*Pfft...*

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Archbishop Yu Zhengping could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the Aura of Archbishop Yu Zhengping's body also reached its Peak, and his combat power had reached an even more exaggerated level.

[Human: Archbishop Yu Zhengping] (Fel Energy Control)

[Superpower]: None

[Rank]: Tier 4 High-stage

[combat power]: 6000

[Status]: Near death, unleashing the mysterious power within his body, exchanging his life for immense power.

A combat power of six thousand had already reached Tier 4 High-stage, nearly a thousand higher than Lu Zheng's, but Archbishop Yu Zhengping had absolutely no intention of making a move.

Because in Lu Zheng's eyes, that Peak combat power didn't even last for a single second before it began to plummet. The speed of its decline was even faster than its previous increase.

Archbishop Yu Zhengping also realized this. He stared fixedly at Lu Zheng in the distance, refraining from using his power or speaking as much as possible, all to make this combat power last a little longer.

5900...

5850...

5500...

In just a few minutes, Archbishop Yu Zhengping's combat power dropped to 5,500, and the downward trend continued. His expression grew even uglier.

He only felt incredibly frustrated and aggrieved.

As the grand Archbishop of the Holy Spirit Sect and the number one wanted criminal who had caused Huaxia headaches for a long time, he could only passively guard this place now, not daring to go anywhere, unable to even unleash his powerful strength.

Once he gave chase to this person, the other person who had been waiting outside would take advantage of the opening to destroy the space portal.

"Damn it all!"

"You truly deserve to die!"

He cursed inwardly. Meanwhile, Lu Zheng had no intention of making a move either. He wasn't as calm on the surface as he appeared, because once that Saint descended, he would very likely fall here.

So he was also gambling, staking his life on it.

Gambling that Archbishop Yu Zhengping would give out before the space portal fully stabilized.

Time trickled by, and the space portal gradually stabilized, looking as if it would finish in the very next second. Archbishop Yu Zhengping stared intently at the space portal; pleasant surprises flared in his eyes multiple times, only to turn into disappointment again and again.

It was as if it was playing a joke on him—the space portal just wouldn't stabilize.

"Motherfucker..."

"Is heaven truly bent on destroying me..."

"Why, why... I refuse to accept this..."

"I refuse to die here..."

Archbishop Yu Zhengping said in despair. He could no longer hold on; the power in his body had almost completely vanished, and he didn't even have the strength to make a move, merely putting up a front.

Yet, Archbishop Yu Zhengping's pretense had never fooled Lu Zheng.

If he knew that his disguise hadn't worked at all, Archbishop Yu Zhengping might have died of sheer anger.

[Human: Archbishop Yu Zhengping] (Fel Energy Out of Control)

[Superpower]: None

[Rank]: Tier 4 High-stage

[combat power]: 6

[Status]: Near death, unleashing the mysterious power within his body, exchanging his life for immense power.

His combat power had now dropped to 6. Lu Zheng watched with his own eyes as the man's combat power plummeted from 6,000 to 6, yet he still didn't make a move.

*Thud!*

Archbishop Yu Zhengping could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. His body had already mutated into a monster, with only his eyes still carrying deep, unwilling anger and regret.

At this moment, Lu Zheng stood before Archbishop Yu Zhengping.

"The greatest regret in life is having immense power but being able to do nothing but wait for death."

*Pfft!*

Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!

Lu Zheng's final words caused Archbishop Yu Zhengping to spit out his last mouthful of blood. He stared fixedly at Lu Zheng; no actor could ever replicate the expression in those eyes.

And right at this moment, the space portal fully stabilized.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly upon seeing this.

"It seems you didn't die at the right time. If only you had waited a bit longer."

And this scene was witnessed by Archbishop Yu Zhengping with his final breath.

"Motherfucker..."

With one last unwilling curse, his consciousness faded completely.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Zheng immediately attacked the space portal.

A terrifying force erupted.

"How dare you!"

Accompanied by a roar from within the space portal, Lu Zheng's attack struck.

In an instant, the space portal seemed to explode. Its previously stable form immediately began to destabilize, growing increasingly chaotic, to the point where even Lu Zheng had to back away.

After a moment, the space portal vanished.

Returning to how it originally was.

After finishing all this, Lu Zheng collected the corpses of Archbishop Yu Zhengping and the shattered foreign race. It wasn't that Lu Zheng had any strange fetishes, but these were the corpses of Tier 4 experts; letting his Clone devour them would yield a lot of energy points.

The matters outside were not yet finished, and Lu Zheng still needed to go take a look.

However, at this moment in Baiyun City, at the abnormal site of the Holy Spirit Sect that had originally been sealed off, a space portal was slowly appearing.

The speed at which the space portal formed was even growing faster and faster.

So much so that by the time the soldiers stationed outside discovered this situation and reported it, the space portal had already almost stabilized.
