Chapter 86: I Have Come for a Rematch

Above the cold, icy waters, a tall man in clean red robes flew rapidly on a flying carriage.

He had long black hair and pupils as black as an abyss. He was naturally Lu Zheng.

He had been flying for weeks now and was headed to North America to pick up Themur.

The journey had been dull so far and he was infinitely bored.

Along the journey, after a long period of boredom, something peculiar happened.

Earlier, Lu Zheng's line of vision was filled with only the cold blue sea and the faraway horizon but all of a sudden, purple dust began to condense before him.

Lu Zheng was shocked by this apparition when he suddenly heard a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha, Lu Zheng, I told you we would meet again!"

Right after those words were said, a yellow skinned man with short black hair appeared wearing a loose purple robe. White dots glittered on the robe resembling the stars at night.

"Immortal Star!" Lu Zheng exclaimed at the sight of this man. "How did you…?"

"You must be wondering how I found you" Immortal Star smirked coldly. "Ever since our last fight, I implanted star essence on your body. After sufficient preparation, I have come for a rematch!"

Immortal Star's aura spread out and Lu Zheng could sense his cultivation base. Second tier of Void Passage realm!

~How did this guy cultivate? Wasn't he only at the third tier of Sky realm two years ago?~

"I know, you are surprised. I had broken through to the Void Passage realm since decades but I suppressed my aura to deceive everyone" Immortal Star beamed a dangerous smile.

Lu Zheng scrutinised Immortal Star before sighing. He knew that a fight would be inevitable.

He stored his flying carriage away and slowly released his aura.

It was Immortal Star's turn to be shocked: "What the fuck!? How come you've reached the second tier of Void Passage realm in such a short time? It has only been two years!"

Lu Zheng only smiled at him.

Immortal Star noticed his poor demeanour and immediately regained his composure: "It's okay, very good. You are surely the one"

Lu Zheng let out a soft sigh. His battle intent surged as twin copies of himself formed beside him.

Crimson Vermillion True Flame burst from one and sharp blue lightning criss-crossed the other. They were Lu Zheng's Fire Deity and Lightning Deity.

"This move again?" Immortal Star muttered as purple star fragments flew out his sleeves.

The purple star fragments immediately transformed into clones of himself.

"These clones all have peak of Sky realm battle strength. Surely I have done the technique better" Immortal Star smiled.

"Tch!" Lu Zheng snorted.

His body shimmered and the very next moment, he was at the centre of the clones.

Sharp winds shot out of his palms as Flame Balls engulfed random clones. Blue lightning was accompanied with cold ice.

The Fire and Lightning Deities supported Lu Zheng from a distance.

None of the clones could survive a single technique. Their bodies turned into dust and poured into the sea, turning it purple.

"Hmph!" Immortal Star snorted as more purple star fragments poured from his sleeves.

He was going to burden Lu Zheng till he died from exhaustion.

Lu Zheng's battle strength was extraordinary but the clones were endless. He would only die in the end.

~Let's try this then~

Lu Zheng's body stilled as he closed his eyes. The sharp winds, cold ice, crimson flames and blue lightning dissipated around his body.

"Giving up?" Immortal Star taunted.

The two Deities attacked any clone that attempted to attack Lu Zheng but soon, their help was no more needed.

"Eight Layered Thunder Flow…"

An invisible pulse of wind spread out of Lu Zheng's body in all directions, slamming into the bodies of the clones.

"Thum!"

The sound of thunder exploding in their bodies was very distinct as the closest ones to Lu Zheng burst into purple dust.

After three more layers of wind, the clones surrounding Lu Zheng were all gone and the purple dust flowing in the air fell into the sea.

"Nice. You are quite strong. Let's quit the probing and fight for real" Immortal Star said with a smile.

Purple dust flew out of Immortal Star's sleeves and condensed into a large field of purple that enveloped Lu Zheng, grinding and cutting at him.

"This simple trick" Lu Zheng's body was enveloped in wind currents that protected him from being cut.

He took a single step forward but appeared a few hundred metres away.

"Such speed!" Immortal Star exclaimed.

"It's not speed, I simply just skipped space" Lu Zheng revealed his technique.

"Oh?"

"It's my turn now"
