CHAPTER 1085: CHAPTER 1085: TWO GOLDEN BONES

"It seems I ultimately can’t escape you." Alphonso quickly calmed down and sighed.

Xiao Zheng said at this moment, "If you can answer one question for me, I can let you die a little more swiftly, without much pain."

Alphonso asked curiously, "What question?"

Xiao Zheng replied, "The war between Sky Net and the Demon Shield Bureau—I’ve pondered over it many times and always felt there’s something unreasonable. Originally, it was just a small conflict between us, but ultimately, it escalated to the point of no return. It’s too unimaginable!"

Xiao Zheng’s gaze sharpened, "So, what exactly are your motives? What have you set your sights on within our Sky Net?"

Alphonso was initially stunned, then admired, "No wonder you’re the Evil God, truly possessing wisdom above others. I’m impressed."

Xiao Zheng coldly said, "No nonsense."

Alphonso hesitated for a moment, seeming to ponder, and finally sighed, "Alright, but you must honor your promise and give me a dignified death."

Xiao Zheng said, "I can let you choose to take your own life."

"Actually, the reason behind attacking your Sky Net is quite simple. I am very interested in Eastern martial artists. The fact that you can, without relying on technology, climb step by step to the peak of human physical ability, just by your own efforts, is truly amazing."

Alphonso said, "Our scientific research has always been trying to uncover the secret within, but the Eastern power is too formidable. If we go too far, provoke the discontent of those sanctuaries, a war between the East and the West could erupt, and the consequences would be terrifying beyond bearing."

"So, you targeted me?" Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow.

This seemed to consider him as an easy target.

"Yes." Alphonso revealed a bitter smile, "Your Sky Net is isolated overseas, maintaining very little contact with domestic forces. You can be said not to be among their ranks, and moreover, there was a conflict with the Hushan Sect. Fighting you was the safest and most advantageous choice."

"But your Demon Shield Bureau was exterminated." Xiao Zheng said blandly.

Alphonso looked up and sighed, "Indeed, this outcome, even I did not foresee. You truly are a bunch of madmen."

Xiao Zheng said, "Previously, when I was at your headquarters, I searched for those research materials, and there seemed to be nothing related to Eastern martial artists."

Alphonso laughed, "Of course, it’s top-secret, known only to me."

The Demon Shield Bureau, being a top-tier research institution, with strong technological prowess, using modern intelligence to study the human body, offered considerable reference even for someone like Xiao Zheng. Therefore, he developed a bit of curiosity and said, "Hand over that research material to me."

Alphonso said, "The Demon Shield Bureau is already destroyed, and I am going to die. If these things are left here, they’ll never see the light of day. I suppose I can give them to you."

Saying this, Alphonso opened a drawer of the desk, took out a thick stack of paper from inside, and walked over to Xiao Zheng, handing them to him.

Xiao Zheng did not suspect anything. With his Martial Saint Body, no trap could possibly harm him, so he surrounded his hand with a swirl of Gang Qi and took it.

"Evil God is indeed cautious." Alphonso laughed.

Xiao Zheng did not speak, just looked down at that stack of papers, which indeed contained data related to Hua Country martial artists. The first page alone had some groundbreaking content.

Xiao Zheng’s pupils slightly contracted. As a Martial Saint, his understanding of Martial Arts could be said to have reached the pinnacle. There was almost no one alive more knowledgeable than he.

This material, however, showed something novel!

Of course, Xiao Zheng couldn’t resist the allure, so he continued reading on.

"The essence of a Martial Artist lies in Gang Qi. How is Gang Qi generated? Supposedly, Gang Qi is not like oxygen or some ordinary gas, but a higher order energy..." Xiao Zheng, reading the analysis on that stack of information, found his eyes lighting up slightly.

There were many things that made a lot of sense!

However, just at this moment, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a chill.

A sense of crisis enveloped him, causing his instincts to rise with immense dread.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng suddenly snapped out of that immersed state, looked up, and then saw a golden fist enlarging continuously in his sight.

Behind the fist was a pair of cold, divine-like eyes of power and majesty.

Those eyes looked down upon him, seemingly wanting to obliterate this ant.

Boom!

Without thinking, a terrifying, ocean-like aura rose from Xiao Zheng’s body. With a resounding shout, his fist met the oncoming one.

A torrent of Gang Qi roared out like a beast, bursting forth, emitting a dazzling Golden Light, concentrated on his fist.

Bang!

The two fists collided in mid-air, and then a massive shockwave exploded, surging out in all directions.

Xiao Zheng stepped back three times.

The other fist, however, was sent spinning away.

Xiao Zheng showed a trace of astonishment in his eyes, looking toward that silhouette in front of him.

It was indeed Alphonso.

At this moment, Alphonso transformed into a golden giant, over two meters tall, his entire body swollen with muscles, with eyes emitting sharp glances, an atmosphere incredibly formidable.

However, at this moment, he also appeared somewhat miserable. Even those sharp eyes were a bit disordered. His body constantly ruptured with one bloody wound after another, blood gushing out.

"Never expected you also had a trump card, haha, trying to use that piece of data to distract me and then launch a sneak attack. What a pity you are too weak."

Xiao Zheng sneered.

Alphonso, with disbelief in his eyes, said, "You actually blocked it! This is impossible."

At this time, Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed purple, activating the Perceptive Heavenly Eye.

He perceived that the energy within Alphonso’s body seemed somewhat peculiar.

He even felt a sense of familiarity.

With that perception, he immediately saw that there were two bones inside Alphonso’s body, floating, radiating faint Golden Light.

Xiao Zheng’s pupils instantly widened.

Then he laughed heartily.

"To search high and low and find it effortlessly. Alphonso, you have done well, unexpectedly delivering two Golden Bones to me."

As soon as Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he dashed forward, extending his hand as if piercing through tofu, inserting it into Alphonso’s body.

With a fierce twist.

Alphonso had no time to utter a scream of pain as two golden bones, along with a brilliant splash of blood, were grasped by Xiao Zheng’s hand and pulled out.
