Chapter 97: Green Vacuum Ghoul Race (Short)

Mei Luan was only millimetres away from Five's neck when it froze, unable to move anymore.

"This…" Five's expression was horrid before changing into relief. "Big Boss!"

Space shimmered behind Five as a dark skinned man stepped out of the void.

The man had bulging muscles and a large build. He wore only trousers and a piece of beast hide over his waist.

Despite Lu Zheng's wide array of knowledge, he couldn't identify the type of beast that owned the hide.

The dark man had short blue hair and a shiny green horn that poked out of the left side of his head.

A dominant aura that made one want to boy and follow him radiated from his body.

"He's here! Big Boss is here!" The Sky realm experts who were watching from below exclaimed with glee.

Big Boss scrutinised Lu Zheng and the latter felt like he was naked before the man, without any secrets: "A Vermillion Bird, you are the one killing my subordinates"

Lu Zheng sheathed Mei Luan and stopped urging his bloodline power. Slowly, his body reverted to normal.

"Your subordinates demanded to spar twenty rounds" Lu Zheng shrugged. "What is the Green Vacuum Ghoul race doing on Earth?"

The Green Vacuum Ghoul race was a race that lived in the void that existed beyond realms.

They had latent space path abilities from birth and could easily cross the barriers between realms and the outer void.

Since Nuwa was already dead, it would be easy for them to reach Earth.

"I could ask the same about your Vermillion Bird Race" Big Boss smiled. "Why don't you join me as my subordinate? My people are well respected here"

Five attempted to protest but Big Boss shunned him.

Lu Zheng smiled before shaking his head: "Sorry but I do not like forces especially one in which most of the members are weak"

"Hmm?!" Big Boss's expression became fierce. "You dare insult us!"

Lu Zheng had a huge smile as his body disappeared. In an instant, he appeared beside Themur.

"Time to go?" Themur asked.

"Hmm"

The space behind Lu Zheng shimmered as Big Boss stepped out of it. His expression was unsightly.

"A Vermillion Bird well versed in space path? This is what happens when the Regal Bloodlines cross breed with shit like you"

Lu Zheng tore open a spatial passage: "I could say the same about you, half-blood!"

Sitting on Themur's back, Lu Zheng went into the spatial passage. Behind him, a spatial blade formed before cutting into his back.

Vermillion Blood spilled as the spatial passage closed. Big Boss was about to follow them when the Vermillion Blood combusted into the Vermillion True Flame.

A trace of fear crossed Big Boss' face as he backed away from the Mystical Flame.

"Huh? He got away?" Five was surprised. Until this day, he had never witnessed anyone escaping from Big Boss.

"That's his own luck" Big Boss muttered.

Turning to face his subordinates, he said: "Don't worry, I've inflicted a grave injury on him. That will teach him enough. Now, for the reason I returned, let me have your yearly quotas"

…..

Above a mountain range, a white skinned man clad in red robes with a sheathed sword on his hip sat on a large beast the size of a house. Behind them, a spatial passage closed as crimson flames burnt in it.

The man's back had been split open that one could see his ribs. Slowly, muscles and skin snaked towards each other and closed the wound becoming a scar.

Within moments, the scar turned white and diminished like nothing ever happened.

The man's regenerative abilities were surely high ranking anywhere in the world.

Naturally, the man was Lu Zheng and the beast was Themur.

"That didn't work out?" Themur asked.

"Hmm" Lu Zheng nodded before pointing towards a random mountain. "Let's go there"

Themur nodded and dove towards the mountain like a killer drone.

Luckily for them, this mountain seemed empty.
