Lu Zheng smiled as bloodline power spiralled out of his pores. Strong fire Qi revolved around his body that Brian could not even gaze at him directly.
His blood boiled vigorously that the divine runes in the Vermillion Blood shined brightly. Lu Zheng's body grew taller and his hair became long streaks of red and white.
His dark pupils became red and blue and invisible columns of wind circulated his entire body. Deafening thunder boomed from Lu Zheng's body.
More bloodline power formed as a great sun took shape above Lu Zheng's head. His blood churned and boiled greatly as the divine runes for Ignition and Sun of the Vermillion True Flame shone brightly.
Thunder boomed loudly from the sky and purple lightning struck the ground incessantly. The lightning bolts radiated great heat that dared to rival the fire Qi around Lu Zheng.
"Astral Thunderbolts" Brian could sense the great heat from the purple lightning bolts.
When he gazed at Lu Zheng, Brian felt that he was peering at the god of fire that could instantly destroy his life. His battle intent fell sharply.
"How about now? Do you still think I can't fight you alone?" Lu Zheng cocked his head.
Space shimmered around Lu Zheng and in an instant, he appeared before Brian.
"This speed!" Brian's pupils shrunk to pin size. At once, sharp blades formed around his body to protect him.
"Boom!"
Thunder clapped as Lu Zheng punched Brian in the chest. His body flew like a horseshoe.
"Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!"
Icicles stabbed deeply into Brian's back as he flew, rooting themselves in him.
"Gah!" Brian spurted out a mouthful of blood. He regained his footing and charged at Lu Zheng. His battle intent skyrocketed at that moment.
A strong blade formed from his body that extended towards Lu Zheng. Without any resistance, it cut the man into two.
"An afterimage?" Brian's expression turned sour.
Lu Zheng's real body appeared instantly behind Brian as Mei Luan cut downwards. He was ready to take Brian's life.
"Tch!" Brian snorted as he used his blade path methods. A sphere of sharp blades revolved around him as Mei Luan slashed at him.
Both men fought toe-to-toe but overtime, Brian began to overwhelm Lu Zheng. His battle strength increased with time as the death path battlefield eroded Lu Zheng's body and soul.
"Hmph!" Lu Zheng pushed out and a strong barrier of wind rippled from his body, sweeping Brian away. "Hmm!"
Lu Zheng now had ninety three space path dao imprints, his perception of space had increased tremendously. Now, he could sense a pressure on space as if a spatial passage was ready to form.
Without hesitating, Lu Zheng spatial skipped to where Zuo Xiuzhen and Immortal Star were and opened a spatial passage. The very next moment, they appeared within Battle Arena's city.
Brian could only gawk in wonder: "How?"
A spatial passage opened before Brian and three men brimming with battle intent flew out. As they came out, puzzled expressions appeared on their faces.
The eldest among them swallowed his confusion and asked: "Where is Lu Zheng?"
…..
A spatial passage formed inside Lu Zheng's house as three people flew out of it. Zuo Xiuzhen was the first to fly out after which Immortal Star flew out. Lu Zheng came out last.
"What is the matter with those men?" Zuo Xiuzhen was troubled. Was this what Lu Zheng meant by saying that the world was dangerous?
"I don't know but you should get some rest. Your body and soul have been eroded by death path dao imprints" Lu Zheng said.
"Hmm" Zuo Xiuzhen nodded before leaving.
Lu Zheng turned to face Immortal Star but before he could even speak, the latter said: "Lu Zheng, I'm too tired to speak now. Let's meet later"
His body disintegrated into star dust and a purple rune formed on Lu Zheng's neck. This time, Lu Zheng could sense the purple rune.
His soul consciousness circulated his body but he could not perceive Immortal Star's life aura.
"Unbelievable!" Lu Zheng shook his head and sat down. "Louis, what secrets do you have?"
