"Come!" Time seemed to slow around Lu Zheng as his sense of vision became extremely keen. Immediately coming to obstruct his vision was Su Haoran's golden fist.
"Thud!"
Su Haoran felt like he had struck a mountain of steel as pain flowed through his right arm. When he gazed at his fist, he saw that Lu Zheng was holding onto it, firmly.
"What!?" Old Nine felt like his eyes were playing pranks on him. He knew that Su Haoran's speed had risen beyond that of a wind path Acquisition realm expert. Yet, Lu Zheng had completely read his movements.
Su Haoran's lips curled upwards. Lu Zheng had raised his arm to block his fist, his left side was extremely vulnerable.
"Swoosh!"
His leg kicked rapidly from where it was to connect with Lu Zheng's side. There was no way Lu Zheng could block it.
Yet, Su Haoran did not even smile, because he saw himself mid-air!
Su Haoran moved at great speeds that eyes could not follow his body but to Lu Zheng, his speed was only so-so.
In the short time that he had tossed Su Haoran into the air, multiple wind blades descended at him. The spectators could only gawk.
"Hmph!" Su Haoran flew away directly as the wind blades crashed unto the ground, lacerating it.
"This!" The spectators were incredibly stunned. This small confrontation between Lu Zheng and Su Haoran took place within mere moments. They could barely follow the tempo of the fight.
As Su Haoran flew away, hundreds of golden pearls appeared before becoming arrows that shot at Lu Zheng. Even without Skybreaker, the arrows were exceedingly deadly.
Lu Zheng only snickered as space shimmered around him. The next instant, he was tens of metres away with the Fire Deity and Lightning Deity beside him.
He let out a turbid breath of air as he focused his attention on his palms. Slowly, purple astral thunderbolts converged into a spherical form.
Su Haoran's heart shook. He wanted to fly towards Lu Zheng but his legs were already sealed in thick ice.
"When…" Su Haoran's pupils shrunk to pin size. He did not know that merely by looking at someone, Lu Zheng could freeze them completely.
Metal path aura burst forth and the thick ice blew into smithereens but now, the Lightning Deity and Fire Deity stood before Su Haoran.
He could not advance.
Su Haoran was at a loss. The Fire Deity and Lightning Deity were almost as strong as Lu Zheng, he could not beat them at once.
He could not even escape from them because the Lightning Deity was incredibly fast and the Fire Deity was incredibly strong. They made a deadly combination.
As Su Haoran fought the Fire Deity and Lightning Deity, Lu Zheng exhaled as the purple sphere of astral thunderbolts in his palm pulsed like a heart.
"Thump!"
The lightning sphere pulsed like a heart and sounded like a drum. Su Haoran's eyes lost colour as thunder slammed into his chest. His golden body became concave at the point immediately.
Humans had weak bodies and even as a metal path expert, Su Haoran was no different. Only his external body was strong. Compared to Lu Zheng, his internal organs were like paper.
They were extremely fragile.
"Thump!"
The lightning sphere pulsed again and purple astral lightning blazed from his orifices. His eyes became pure white and blood flowed from his mouth.
A yellow light enveloped his body and transported him out of the arena. At the same time, the wristband on Lu Zheng's wrist flickered brightly.
"Ding, ding, ding~"
The spectators were stunned: "Just like that?"
They were stunned by the sudden way Lu Zheng had beaten Su Haoran. The way the fight had built up, Su Haoran and Lu Zheng were just about evenly matched.
It was inconceivable that one of them would win so easily like that.
Old Nine shook his head: "In the end, the young master is only human"
"Hmm" Six agreed as he walked to where Su Haoran was teleported to.
Qing Shou Jian did not share in Six's solemnness. He was ecstatic beyond belief.
"Three hundred thousand vital stones! This is more than I earn in half a year!" Qing Shou Jian celebrated. "Didn't I say it? Brother Lu is too strong to lose to some human from Central Continent"
"You said so, Commander" Doecii was amazed at the vital stones that had just appeared in her spatial ring. She found it hard to believe that she had won that much from just betting on Lu Zheng.
Those of the Moon Lake Squad that bet in Su Haoran could only shake their head in regret. It was too late to be sad about it.
