Chapter 139: True Might of Rank Seven

"Why does it have limbs?" Ao Xiuzhen asked as her features paled with fright.

"This Myriad Heads Hydra must have mutated" Lu Zheng replied as he gazed at the beast before them sternly.

"All those who slay my kin shall die!" One of the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra's heads bellowed with obvious rage.

"Groaar!"

Its seventh head opened its mouth as purple flames poured endlessly from it like a purple sea.

The flames aimed to drown the fifteen martial warriors but they scattered from its path.

"Foolish pests!" The Myriad Heads Hydra was indignant as its third head made a clicking sound with its mouth.

Over a hundred sound path dao imprints were activated as sound waves exploded forth. The fifteen martial warriors felt their entire body vibrate intensively, blowing them away.

"Such tremor-huh!" A man named Ouyang Mu coughed blood as he stabilised himself. His body was still a mess from the sound path technique.

"Hmph!" Ao Xiuzhen snorted as thick brown vines tore out from beneath the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra, binding it.

"Little matter" The Myriad Heads Hydra snorted as purple flames combusted all over it, incinerating the vines.

"Be careful, it's rank seven!" Houyan Meili warned.

The third head clicked its tongue again and tremors formed around Ao Xiuzhen, blasting her from the insides.

Lu Zheng's blood boiled vigorously as he flew towards the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra. By the time he was above it, his appearance had changed.

He had activated his bloodline ability – Ignition and had numerous Sun Cutting Wheels that surrounded him.

As the Sun Cutting Wheels descended towards the Myriad Heads Hydra, a large horizontal tornado that burnt with Vermillion True Flames formed above Lu Zheng before rolling towards the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra.

A human-like look of disdain appeared on the fifth head of the Myriad Heads Hydra as it opened its mouth causing a violent gale to tumble at the tornado, dispersing it.

Just as the tornado dispersed, the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra raised its claws and swiped at Lu Zheng.

"Bam!"

A huge pit formed in Lu Zheng's position but his body had vanished. In an instant, he was beside Houyan Meili.

"It's very strong. So this is what fighting a rank seven beast truly feels like" Lu Zheng mumbled.

He could recall how he had easily beaten the white serpent of the Four Abominations of Yen Zhao. It was also a rank seven beast but compared to the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra, it was nothing.

Moreover, the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra had only used three of its heads so far.

"Roooaaar!"

The Myriad Heads Hydra seethed with anger when it saw that Lu Zheng escaped. Purple flames poured endlessly from its head as its fourth mouth opened.

Sharp blades formed mid-air, cutting through the air towards the fifteen martial warriors.

"Aaaargh!" Most of them were able to react but an unlucky man was cut apart like tofu.

"Team leader, this beast is too strong.

Shouldn't we retreat?" Ouyang Mu asked.

His thinking was reasonable, after all, they hadn't forced the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra to use all of its heads yet one of them had already died.

If this trend continued then he could be next.

"We should continue. The mission was to exterminate the Myriad Heads Hydra that was disturbing this region. This seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra is most likely the real threat and not the one we just killed. If we leave, the mission would be a failure" Lu Zheng urged.

In truth, Lu Zheng did not care about the mission. He actually just wanted a few more people to die.

By just absorbing the soul of the fallen man, his soul foundation had jumped from the thousand man soul level to the eight thousand man soul level.

That was the equivalent of a few months of cultivating the soul.

One might say Lu Zheng was evil but that was his unique way of seeing the world.

~The strong devour the weak~

Anyone who dies, dies because of their own weakness. Those that kill, kill because of their strength.

If anybody was killed by the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra now, it was purely because of their weakness.

It was not like he pushed them to death. He would even save the lives of those he could. Only, he had no problem consuming the souls of the dead.

"Hmm" Houyan Meili thought for a while before agreeing with Lu Zheng. "I have a plan. Ao Xiuzhen, try to disturb the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra when it is about to launch its attacks. Xia Jun and Gao Meng, do your best to keep it in place. The rest of us will attack it!"

"Alright!" The group instantly chanted. They knew Houyan Meili's abilities and had trust in her.

Lu Zheng smiled as his bloodline power poured from his blood vessels. A miniature sun appeared mid-air and a wave of strength pulsed through Houyan Meili.

"Nice, let's kill this snake!" Houyan Meili smiled as a pink cape shimmered into form behind her.

Her battle strength more than doubled instantly as pink skulls made of flames appeared around her.

She was going all out.
