Chapter 95: Instant Kill

Lu Zheng and the others had been idling for a while until when Themur opened his eyes.

The yellow mass of water that encased him slowly sunk into his fur until even Lu Zheng couldn't sense its presence.

Before Lu Zheng could speak, a rank five Blight Wing Lizard kowtowed to Themur: "Arman greets Yellow River Lord"

Like a trigger, the other two rank five beasts kowtowed to Themur and repeated the greetings.

Everyone except Themur was stunned.

He possessed the entire life's knowledge of Hundred Concubines Ancestor. He even felt a sort of kinship with the beasts.

Themur raised his paw at the three beasts and told them to stand up.

Turning to Lu Zheng, Themur spoke: "Lu Zheng, about the firestones. We should leave some for the beasts here"

Lu Zheng nodded in agreement. He wasn't a greedy person.

The river bed was filled with tens of thousands of firestones. Lu Zheng didn't mind leaving some for the locals.

Using his soul power, Lu Zheng controlled many thousand firestones to rise from the river bed and fall before each person.

Lu Zheng acted fair and did not cheat Sanchez and the rest.

After Lu Zheng had shared the firestones, Sanchez, Juanfran, Lamber and Yanikka, the Flowing Ash Monkey bowed in gratitude to Lu Zheng.

They knew that with his battle strength, Lu Zheng could have easily cheated them but he did not. That was enough reason to be grateful.

"Little matters, little matters" Lu Zheng smiled. "We should get going now"

Themur nodded as a drop of water floated from his body and dropped on the river bed.

In an instant, the drop of water spread into a river that ran through the entire valley.

Although it was not as yellow as the former river, the similarity was uncanny.

Lu Zheng willed out a flying carriage and gestured towards it: "You guys should return to your homes. I and Themur will be leaving from here"

Themur returned to his normal size and Lu Zheng flew to his top and sat on him.

With a gentle jump, Themur took to the skies and flew into the horizon.

Juanfran and the rest entered the carriages too and went in the opposite direction.

Firestone Valley returned to its usual silence.

…..

Three days later.

Lu Zheng and Themur arrived at the shores of another continent. Mountain ranges filled their entire line of vision.

Lu Zheng had a hearty laugh as he stared into the skies which seemed pregnant with lightning storms: "After many ups and downs, I have finally reached the hotspot of lightning path, Nigeria!"

Themur wore a curious look as he gazed at the mountain ranges that seemed to stretch into infinity. Beside the shoreline, the mountains seemed like an apparition.

However, Themur knew it was real.

As the capital of the African Union, Nigeria had the highest amount of lone martial practitioners. The mountain ranges were created artificially to suffice as homes for the many lone martial practitioners.

Lu Zheng spoke a few words to Themur and the latter nodded. In a burst of speed, Themur disappeared from the shoreline.

Themur flew above numerous mountains with Lu Zheng on his back.

They had just come to the place and needed to find an abode. Naturally, all the mountains had owners and Lu Zheng was searching for one that he could easily bully away.

"The mountain must be tall enough to attract strong lightning from the nine heavens!"

Lu Zheng's plan in Nigeria was to cultivate lightning path properly and temper his body with heavenly lightning.

Although using tribulation lightning to temper his body was good, the time gap between the tribulations was too long.

Lu Zheng could also summon lightning from the heavens but it would not be strong enough to temper his body.

"Found it!" Lu Zheng exclaimed.

Themur dove swiftly towards the mountain as Lu Zheng released his Sea of Consciousness.

He was going to probe the mountain lord.

…..

On the peak of a tall mountain, eight men were happily playing a board game when a man with white skin and black hair appeared.

He had an arrogant stance with his arms crossed before his chest.

"Eh? Who is this idiot?" A man suddenly asked.

"Hehe, look at his skin. He looks like a girl!" Another added.

Lu Zheng's aura was completely concealed and Themur was hiding a distance away.

His Sea of Consciousness slowly spread out like a murky sea, probing the eight men.

The two men that had just spoken had similar cultivation bases, being at the second tier of Void Passage realm. As for the others, they were merely at the peak of Sky realm. Only one man was at the peak of Void Passage realm.

Lu Zheng's eyes glistened eerily as he was hovering mid-air. He was thinking on whether it would be worth it to fight.

Another man suddenly spoke: "Friend, who are you?"

Lu Zheng did not hear the man as he was deep in his own thoughts.

"Eh!? This fool dares to ignore Five!? Come, let's spar for twenty rounds!" A round man roared as killing intent rose from his body.

Without hesitating, he charged madly into the sky.

"Oh?" Lu Zheng was brought out of his thoughts. "Small fry"

His black pupils turned cold blue as icicles suddenly jutted out of the round man's body.

With a thud, the round man fell to the ground before breaking into frozen fragments.
