Chapter 135: Fighting Nian Qing

"Swoosh!"

A sharp sword light flew, dissecting the Fire Deity into two equal halves.

Fire Qi surged from Lu Zheng as the Fire Deity mended itself, continuing its frenzied attacks like nothing happened.

Thunder covered Lu Zheng's body as strong fire Qi radiated from his being. Cold ice Qi mingled with wind Qi struck at Nian Qing.

Mei Luan attacked from the side-lines with graceful swordsmanship. Each strike of her sword could sever the heavens and cleave the earth.

Nian Qing had a troubled expression.

Although he was fighting only Lu Zheng, he felt like he was battling an entire team of Void Passage realm experts.

Lu Zheng mainly used his fists and each punch left Nian Qing dizzy. His hands were already aching all over.

On his own, Lu Zheng had peak of Void Passage realm battle strength but when he went all out, he was enough to kill a first tier of Acquisition realm expert.

Nian Qing turned into a sword light and separated himself from Lu Zheng. He needed to catch a breather.

His gaze was trained in Lu Zheng's direction at the Lightning Deity.

Ever since the fight had begun, the Lightning Deity had been accumulating thunder energy and lightning Qi into a huge sphere.

The ball of thunder and lightning was already larger than the Sun of the Vermillion True Flames and it was only getting bigger.

Nian Qing's instincts told him that whatever attack was unleashed from the lightning ball, it would be very fatal.

"You should give up" Nian Qing's voice was hoarse. "I am an Acquisition realm expert and my Qi far surpasses yours in both quantity and quality. You will soon be spent"

Lu Zheng chuckled as four Spirit Grade pills appeared in his hands. Without batting an eye, he engulfed them whole.

"You might be strong but I am rich"

Nian Qing felt a tinge of bitterness grow in his mouth.

Sword Qi burst and in an instant, both men were engaged in a battle to the death.

The rank seven spider-like beast stood dominantly in its death Qi domain. All techniques that entered it fizzled out within moments.

Strong vines rose from the ground, wrapping firmly around the spider in a bid to squeeze the life out of it.

Ten arrows formed from water struck towards the spider as earthen boulders crashed towards it.

"Screeech!"

The spider made a sharp sound as it broke the strong vines apart. Three water arrows struck one of its eight eyes causing it to screech more in pain.

The many earthen boulders crashed at it like asteroids.

The spider screamed violently as death Qi rippled from its body.

A male water path Void Passage realm expert screamed as death Qi corroded his body, making his arms to suddenly wrinkle and decay.

Just as the spider was about to lunge at the water path expert, a deafening boom erupted from nowhere.

"Booom!"

Thunder energy boomed as blue lightning criss-crossed the spider's large body, making it to tremble involuntarily.

"What was that?" The female wood path expert was stunned as the deafening sound repeated itself.

"Booom!"

Sound seemed to shatter as thunder energy exploded violently. Lightning Qi filled the air as the spider's body charred from the insides.

The death Qi surrounding the spider dissipated as it crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Nu Yian Song!" Yen Ku Feng exclaimed in sheer horror as he ran from the burnt serpent's body to the charred spider's.

Faint arcs of blue lightning still ran along the spider's body but when Yen Ku Feng used his methods, he knew the spider was already dead.

"You Vermillion bastard!" Yen Ku Feng's voice was shrill from anger but when his gaze landed in Lu Zheng's direction, fear seized his body.

Nian Qing floated weakly mid-air as thunder boomed from his insides. Strong lightning bolts crawled from his orifices, electrocuting the Acquisition realm experts.

Surrounding him in all four directions were Lu Zheng, Mei Luan, the Fire Deity and the Lightning Deity.

Mei Luan wore a stern expression as she wielded the Immortal Grade sword. Ice Qi and fire Qi revolved around her like dual hells.

The Fire Deity was completely made of crimson Vermillion True Flames and numerous Sun Cutting Wheels danced around it.

The Lightning Deity had its two hands held upwards with a gigantic ball of thunder energy and lightning Qi floating above it. Every once in a while, the thunder ball would pulse like a heart.

Lu Zheng's expression was slightly pale. It was obvious that the technique was taxing on his body.

"Do you sense it now? This technique is the difference between our strengths!"

"Booom!"

The thunder ball pulsed again as Nian Qing coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Thunder energy slammed into his organs like sledgehammers striking his insides. Most of his vital organs were already blood paste.

Everyone had stopped fighting as they stared at Lu Zheng who had stolen the attention.

The lion like beast crashed to the ground with a thud as Houyan Meili's gaze fixated on Lu Zheng.

Nian Qing's expression was sour: "Do you think Acquisition realm experts are easy pickings for your kind?"

A bad feeling washed over Lu Zheng as sword Essence poured from Nian Qing's meridians.

Nian Qing's body swiftly aged as his skin became wrinkled and his hair thinned. Within moments, he looked older than Old man Gu Li.

"This…"
