Chapter 208: Spectral Demon

"Huh?" Immortal Star was surprised to see this man but Louis had a different expression.

"Brian!"

Louis felt like a man that had fallen from heaven to hell and then ascended back to heaven once more.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly as he saw this man.

Brian had a chubby appearance and was shorter than Louis but his aura was completely different. Louis was like a snake hiding in the creek while Brian was like a great beast that ruled the forest.

"How is four versus one fair?" Brian smiled lightly as he released Louis.

"Hmph! You all are destined to die!" Louis harrumphed as he regained his composure. With Brian here now, his safety was guaranteed.

"Sorry, you are the one dying today" Lu Zheng sneered as he closed his palm into a fist. Instantly, dark chains formed around Louis, binding him at once.

"Louis!" Brian was shocked but he could not move towards him. When he tried to touch him, his vision blurred and he could not think straight.

Lu Zheng's body relaxed as strong soul path aura radiated from his body. Zuo Xiuzhen and Immortal Star grew goosebumps when they gazed at Lu Zheng.

A faint image formed around Lu Zheng's body. It was the upper half of a man that stood many hundred metres tall. The man wore a large cloak from which many skulls hung from. A great scythe stood proudly in the man's hands.

"A spectral… demon" Immortal Star slowly muttered as he gazed at Lu Zheng. The aura Lu Zheng gave off was extremely strong that it felt like it was another person entirely.

The spectral demon above Lu Zheng swung his scythe, burying it in Louis' skull. When he pulled it out, Louis' host soul moved with it.

Lu Zheng sealed the host soul and stored it in the spatial artifact that he stored Houyan Meili's soul fragment in. The spectral demon instantly disappeared without a trace when he was done.

"Louis!" Brian was completely enraged. His gaze was cold as he stared at Lu Zheng. "Good, good, good. We were only ordered to bring you to Elder Tyreece but now, this has gotten personal"

Death Essence poured out from Brian without control, filling the space in a hundred metre radius around him. Within this space, birds died and soul beasts crumbled. They became small dots of energy that strengthened Brian.

The small specks of light also rose from everyone's body before moving into Brian's body.

"A death path battlefield" Lu Zheng muttered as he withdrew Mei Luan. Her figure had already become exceedingly transparent.

Lu Zheng absorbed soul energy from the Soul Absorbing Gem and his Soul Lake rose again. Creating the Spectral Demon had depleted his Soul Lake greatly. The technique was from Reverend Spectral Demon's inheritance and Lu Zheng did not dare to use it carelessly.

"This battlefield is quite strong" Zuo Xiuzhen praised. She could sense her body and soul slowly eroding into death Qi that strengthened Brian.

She did not cultivate blood path, wood path or life path and her light path methods could not counter the battlefield.

If this continued, she would surely die.

Lu Zheng sensed the death path battlefield erode his body slowly. The erosion of his body and soul was extremely slow.

~My blood path and soul path dao imprints are countering the death path battlefield. The erosion of my body and soul has become very slow~

Lu Zheng's eyes shimmered as countless thoughts crossed his mind. He could easily escape with Zuo Xiuzhen and Immortal Star before Brian even took a step. He could also stay to fight Brian.

After some moments, Lu Zheng made up his mind: "Zuo Xiuzhen, Immortal Star, you two should leave this area. The death path battlefield will only kill you. Immortal Star, after this fight, we must surely talk"

Zuo Xiuzhen nodded and did not waste time in turning into a beam of light that crossed many metres in a moment. Immortal Star gazed deeply at Lu Zheng before leaving.

"Hahahaha!" Brian laughed heartily. "You think you can fight me alone?"

"Let's just wait and find out" Lu Zheng smiled.
