Tammy who stood on a cave wall glared maliciously at Danny's direction as if wanting to burn him with her eight eyeballs.
Her cold voice slowly sounded: "You have intruded my home, killed my children and stolen my food. All that is left for me is to kill you"
An absurd amount of killing intent gushed out of her and slammed into Lu Zheng.
She tapped the cave wall with one of her legs and an opening formed in the cave ceiling.
Glancing once more at Danny and then at Lu Zheng, she flew into the morning sky.
Red sand flew up after her and revolved around her, turning into a sandstorm thay obscured her presence.
The red stripes on her back shined brightly before suddenly combusting into bright red flames.
Lu Zheng also flew into the sky and saw the sandstorm.
Using his Sea of Consciousness, he was able to see her even within the sandstorm.
"She expects me to enter her domain? How naïve" Lu Zheng chuckled.
He opened his palm before him as blue lightning and thunder energy converged into a large ball.
Invisible spatial ripples surrounded the blue ball that swirled on Lu Zheng's palm.
Tammy saw the lightning ball and sensed its danger. She prepared to dodge the ball at all costs.
"Gbam!"
The lightning ball beat like a heart but sounded like a drum.
The size of the lightning ball decreased slightly as the spatial ripples distributed the thunder energy.
*coughs*
Blue blood escaped Tammy's mouth as she coughed blood.
Her internal organs had been severely injured as lightning and thunder energy ran frantically inside her.
"It is long ranged?!" She gasped in horror.
The fight had barely started and she was already severely injured.
"Sigh, this human is no pushover" Tammy's expression was grim.
Luckily for her, she was a beast and possessed good regenerative abilities.
Naturally, her regenerative abilities could never be compared to that of the Vermillion Bird Race.
"Gbam!"
The lightning ball beat again, causing Tammy to involuntarily cough blood again.
She dispelled the sandstorm and landed on the ground.
As a Red-Striped Divine Spider, she was born with latent earth path and fire path abilities.
As soon as she reached the ground, red sands rose to strike Lu Zheng.
Bloodline power was expended as a fiery robe of Vermillion True Flame enveloped Lu Zheng.
Golden runes danced inside the robe.
"Flame Cloak…" Lu Zheng's pupils were eerily dark as the lightning ball disappeared from his palm.
With a step, he spatial skipped to where Tammy stood.
"Such speed!" Tammy was stunned. Instantly, a fierce physical bout erupted.
…..
Inside the nameless cave
The group of five had replenished themselves and their human Qi was slowly recovering.
They all stood behind Mei Luan who held the Immortal sword in her hands.
Using the Qi inside the Immortal sword's artifact core, Mei Luan used varying sword techniques without stopping.
At this moment, flame projections rained like hail as Flame Balls exploded. The Red-Striped Divine Spiders didn't stand a chance.
"Is this the might of a Void Passage realm expert?"
"No, she's my master's sword spirit!"
"Hah? Your master must be even stronger"
"Pity, those spider's bodies have been destroyed. They could have been used as proper materials for refining artifacts and pills"
Themur wore a smug smile as the rest marvelled at Mei Luan's battle strength.
He knew that because of Lu Zheng, he would be respected and adored by the others.
Unlike the rest, Mei Luan did not wear a jovial expression. In fact, she was quite troubled.
Since Lu Zheng had released her, she had been in constant contact with him and she knew that Danny was not outside the cave.
If Danny was to appear before her, he would easily suppress her and maybe even kill her.
He was after all at the peak of rank six. None of them could fight him.
Mei Luan knew, an unsheathed sword was more dangerous than the one in the open.
What exactly was Danny playing at?
…..
Outside the cave in the hot desert, loud booms could be heard distinctly.
The source of the booming sounds was the fierce brawl between Lu Zheng and Tammy.
Lu Zheng's body was completely covered by Flame Cloak. It was a defensive bloodline ability. Tammy was unable to break past its defensive abilities.
Every punch Lu Zheng threw at Tammy was filled with thunder energy that ravaged her insides.
Her internal organs were already a mash of blood and flesh.
Despite that, Tammy did not stop for once.
Red flames combusted on her and assaulted Lu Zheng.
If it were another human Void Passage realm expert in Lu Zheng's position, he would have been burnt to a crisp already.
However, Lu Zheng had the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird Race. Fire of this degree was too weak to even scorch his hair.
After a long while, Tammy took the initiative to withdraw.
Her body that was the size of a large car was riddled with injuries and blue blood bathed her because she was fighting a mere human.
She was frustrated and sour beyond limits.
Maybe if she knew Lu Zheng had Regal Blood flowing through his blood vessels, her sourness would reduce.
She was standing four hundred metres away from Lu Zheng who was bathed in the crimson Vermillion True Flame.
Flame Cloak was already flickering but he urged more bloodline power to maintain it.
"I'll end this now" Lu Zheng's voice was loud causing Tammy's hairs to stand on their ends.
Lu Zheng's palm made a cutting motion in the air.
Immediately, Tammy felt like a thousand swords were cutting at her.
