Chapter 989: Bai Xiao Sheng Defeated!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
All 3 sides agreed on the Earth's Federal Government, but very soon, there was a heated discussion on the details.
All 3 had brought along negotiators, engaging in fierce arguments about the various aspects of cabinet members, number of soldiers, the percentage of strength, etc.
At Edward's side, there was a burly black man, with rippling muscles and a tiger tattoo on his right hand. He stepped out and stared at Yue Zhong fiercely, "Leader Yue Zhong, I'm the 5th Apostle of the Kingdom of God, Ereben. I've always been in awe of China and heard that your country has many experts. I hope to exchange a few blows with them. As to yourself, I admit that I'm no match for you, so I will not challenge you."
Hearing his challenge, the negotiations immediately stopped, as everyone turned their eyes over.
Yue Zhong frowned slightly as he swept his gaze towards Edward. He noticed that Edward was chuckling lightly as he looked over, without the slightest intention to stop the challenge. He knew that it was a show of might from his side, intending to belittle Yue Zhong.
Although all 3 factions agreed on the Federal Government, amongst themselves, there was still competition. If an opportunity to gain an advantage over each other presented itself, they would not give up on it.
Ereben shot a condescending gaze towards the people behind Yue Zhong, "No one dares? I'm just the 5th Apostle of the Kingdom of God. Yet, you Chinese don't dare to rise to the challenge. Other than Yue Zhong, is there no one else who is capable enough? If it's like this, then your region of rule should just follow my side's proposition, as well as Mongolia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and the 2 Koreas."
Currently, within the town, the most heated discussion was over territory. The Earth was now being carved apart by the 3 factions.
In this feast that was dividing the world, only the Kingdom of God, America, and China had the qualifications to participate. Initially, England also had the right, but they were destroyed, thus losing their qualifications. As to the other small factions, they were overlooked.
Hearing that challenge, Bai Xiao Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold look, as he asked Yue Zhong, "Leader, let me. I'll teach this black devil some manners!!"
Yue Zhong swept Ereben a look and reminded Bai Xiao Sheng, "Be careful, he's not a simple enemy. Go all out, don't let him have a chance to get one over you."
Bai Xiao Sheng laughed confidently, "Rest assured! I have not been idling these days."
He pulled out a curved blade as he shot out, staring at Ereben. He then laughed and challenged back, "I'm Bai Xiao Sheng from the China Central Army. Within China, my strength is numbered way past the 100th position, but I should be enough to defeat you. If you were to lose, then everything east of Poland shall be ours, how about that?"
Ereben snorted coldly, "Win first before you spout nonsense. Let's take this outside."
The 2 of them quickly came to a field outside. Everyone else followed after, watching quietly.
This was a battle that was related to the bargaining power. If Ereben won, then the negotiator on the Kingdom of God's side would have a higher threshold. If Bai Xiao Sheng were to win, then the negotiator from China would be bolstered.
Ereben laughed coldly, "It's not too late for you to admit defeat. Otherwise, when I act, you might not die, but at the very least, you'll be out of action for a few months."
Bai Xiao Sheng's eyes turned cold, "Enough of your bullshit. Let me teach you a lesson, arrogant bastard, that China has its experts."
"Haha! Of the whole of China, I only heard of Yue Zhong. Everyone else is just trash to us Apostles. You're no different. You're going down!"
Ereben laughed savagely, before disappearing from his location. He appeared noiselessly behind Bai Xiao Sheng, instantly splitting into 3 shadow clones, each of them wielding sharp blades, intending to strike him.
Teleportation!
This was the ability of the 5th Apostle. With this ability, Ereben was able to appear anywhere within a 100m radius, taking down his enemies or escaping with ease.
With this strange and terrifying ability, with his Type 4 strength, a Type 5 expert had fallen at his hands before. At the same time, if he focused only on fleeing, even a Type 5 Divine Warrior might not be able to catch him.
Evan saw how Ereben appeared suddenly behind Bai Xiao Sheng and sucked in a breath of cold air, "Strong, truly an Apostle of the Kingdom of God. If it was me, I would not be able to dodge that."
As one of the top experts of the Superhuman Alliance, and a natural-born genius, Evan was already at the Type 5 realm. However, that single strike from Ereben gave him cause for fear. He knew that it would be tough for him to dodge that strike.
Ever since Yue Zhong had left, Bai Xiao Sheng had trained incessantly, utilizing the Evolving Liquid from Ou Ming, as he slaughtered zombies constantly. At the same time, when Yue Zhong had returned with the Blood Honey, he had consumed a little, reaching the peak of the Type 4 realm.
Against the strike from Ereben, his experience from his countless battles kicked in, and he immediately ducked to the ground, the curved blade in his hands rising to meet Ereben's sword.
Evan was shocked, "That fellow's reaction is fast!"
At the time when their weapons clashed, Ereben disappeared once more, appearing behind Bai Xiao Sheng, kicking his back viciously.
A terrifying strength burst out, sending Bai Xiao Sheng a few meters out.
Bai Xiao Sheng spat out a mouth of blood.
Ereben stared coldly at Bai Xiao Sheng and snarled sarcastically, "Hmph! With just this ability, you dare challenge I, Ereben! What a joke! I had thought that you could last longer. Not even 20 seconds. What an eyesore."
From the time that Ereben acted to his defeat of Bai Xiao Sheng, 11 seconds passed. Although he ridiculed him, he did not continue to attack. He knew that if he did so, Yue Zhong would immediately slaughter him.
Yue Zhong swept Ereben a cold gaze, who felt his body tremble from the cold killing intent. Fear sprouted in his heart. However, as he thought about Edward's support, he continued to stand there without being servile nor overbearingness, "Leader Yue Zhong, I apologize, your subordinate was too weak. I did not hold back, and thus, injured him."
Yue Zhong retracted his gaze as he walked to Bai Xiao Sheng, supporting him up.
Bai Xiao Sheng was pale, apologizing to Yue Zhong with a sullen expression, "I'm sorry, Leader. Although I'm unwilling, that fellow was too strong. I'm not his match."
Bai Xiao Sheng's talent was outstanding, but compared to the freakish geniuses from the Kingdom of God, it was still far off. He might have gained plenty of resources from Yue Zhong, but Ereben had also benefited from Edward. While both parties were at the peak of Type 4, the combat ability was still different.
Yue Zhong administered a healing liquid produced from the blood of Type 5 Mutant Beasts, as he consoled, "It's ok. As long as you're fine. Go and recover properly, you might not be his match now, but it's not necessarily so in the future."
As Yue Zhong's trusted aide, even when Yue Zhong was extremely weak, both sides had fought side by side. Yue Zhong valued and held this subordinate and comrade in high regard.
"I'll become stronger!! I'll definitely become stronger!!" Bai Xiao Sheng took the liquid and clenched his fists tightly as he walked out. A number of disdainful gazes fell upon him, but only served to fuel his determination. This defeat had caused him humiliation and unwillingness.
After defeating Bai Xiao Sheng, Ereben continued to challenge, "Is there anyone else? Who dares take me on? Are there no other heroes in China other than Yue Zhong?"
"I'll take you on."
At this time, a bright voice resounded out, as Ji Qing Wu stepped out in all her beauty and poise, dressed in a black military uniform, her long hair tied up in a ponytail.
Yue Zhong frowned in worry and was about to call out to her, when she turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a determination. His words got caught in his throat, as they turned to a simple, "Be careful!"
Ji Qing Wu smiled warmly, "Don't worry, I'll be victorious!"
Edward looked at Ji Qing Wu, his eyes brightening, "What a beauty."
Ji Qing Wu emitted a valiant aura with every step she took, looking like a cold, sword goddess. Edward had seen his fair share of beauties, but it was his first time seeing someone like Ji Qing Wu.
Ereben stared at Ji Qing Wu, his eyes flashing with excitement, as though as he had found his prey. Snarling, he spoke, "I will not hold back, it's not too late if you give up!"
"One move."
Ereben was taken aback, "What?"
Ji Qing Wu's voice sounded once more, "I'll defeat you in one move."
"Haha, I've changed my mind. I will torture you, and not let you lose so easily!"
Ereben laughed in fury as he disappeared once more, reappearing behind Ji Qing Wu.
