Chapter 250: Jian Hu’s Might

Lu Zheng was in a dilemma. Immortal Star's life was at stake and there was this Jian Hu before him. 

Jian Hu had transformed into a Black Winged Jedi and his aura exploded for everyone to see. Peak of Acquisition realm!

Lu Zheng knew he had nothing on an existence like Jian Hu. Fighting him was the same thing as throwing away his life. 

Yet, Lu Zheng could not leave. The strength path dao imprints of the Black Winged Jedi had sealed the space that nobody could move. If Lu Zheng tried to fly away, he would be easy picking for Lu Zheng.

He was at an impasse.

"Friend, if you can please help us fight this man, we will reward you nicely" Cangxiang Ziwu called to Lu Zheng.

She wasn't optimistic about Lu Zheng's battle strength. All she wanted was for Lu Zheng to distract Jian Hu while Cangxiang Zihan and Yu Er Dan weakened him.

As for the possibility of defeating Jian Hu? Cangxiang Ziwu did not dare to dream too much. She knew Jian Hu's strength. He was a half-step Original realm [1] expert. The barrier between him and the Original realm was thinner than paper.

Lu Zheng felt like punching someone. This woman had caused everything. If she had kept her stupid name to herself, he would be cruising through the air on his own.

"Sigh" Lu Zheng did not think too much and he flew towards Cangxiang Ziwu. When the slightest chance to escape came, he would not hesitate to take it.

Jian Hu smiled at Lu Zheng's actions: "Good, now I can kill you all at once"

His pitch black wings flapped slowly and his figure disappeared. In a heartbeat, he was before Cangxiang Ziwu.

Exclamation marks appeared above her head but Jian Hu's large bear paws were rapidly closing in on her. 

"Hmph!" Just before Cangxiang Ziwu was mauled by the beast that was Jian Hu, Yu Er Dan pushed her out of harm's way and crossed her arms to protect herself.

"Gbam~!"

A heavy sound reverberated and Yu Er Dan's figure plummeted to the earth like a dead fly. The sound of cracking bones was very distinct.

A human-like smile formed on Jian Hu's bear face as he dove to deal the killing blow. His form crossed many metres at once but when he reached Yu Er Dan, white clouds formed around her that cushioned his punches. It was like he was hitting tofu.

"Bastard!" Jian Hu did not hesitate to swear as he saw Cangxiang Zihan fly over to rescue Yu Er Dan.

Cangxiang Zihan flew over to Cangxiang Ziwu and Lu Zheng with Yu Er Dan in his arms: "Be careful. The Black Winged Jedi is a strength path beast with amazing speed burst. You can't take a direct hit. Yu Er Dan and I will attack Jian Hu. You… do your best to distract Jian Hu"

Lu Zheng nodded indifferently before unsheathing Mei Luan. Bloodline power radiated from his blood vessels and a crimson sun formed above his head. The Sun of the Vermillion True Flames burnt with strong Vermillion True Flames that it was impossible to look at it directly.

A surge of strength filled all of Lu Zheng's being as he used Ignition.

The transformation did not take more than a few breaths of time and when he was done, the other three were stunned.

Yu Er Dan smiled: "Good! Let's manage to survive!"

Jian Hu flapped his wings again and he soon reached Lu Zheng who was already alone. His body was brimming with killing intent.

Lu Zheng took in a deep breath and focused. Time seemed to slow down for a moment and he dodged Jian Hu's first attack by a hair's breadth. The next moment, he brandished Mei Luan hundreds of times in a single second.

Fire Qi flowed and ice Qi froze. Jian Hu's Black Winged Jedi body was covered in numerous cut marks of fire and ice.

Normally, each of those attacks would have killed Lu Zheng's opponent but Jian Hu was too strong. The sword only left small cut marks on his body. They were only enough to slow him down.

"Good!" Yu Er Dan appeared above Jian Hu as strength Essence enveloped her fists. In a single motion, she slammed her fists into Jian Hu's back.

"Hmph!" Jian Hu grunted and bore the pain from Yu Er Dan's punch. Yu Er Dan was at the third tier of Acquisition realm. Her strength path methods were second only to Jian Hu's.

Jian Hu's tail moved swiftly and slapped at Yu Er Dan before she could even move her hands again. Clouds formed around her that cushioned the effect of the slap. Even so, her body was slapped away like a miserable fly.

"Cangxiang Zihan…" Jian Hu's gaze was distant. He knew that the cloud path expert Cangxiang Zihan was the one that was providing for the defences of Yu Er Dan and the others. If he did not do something to Cangxiang Zihan, it would be difficult for him to kill anybody.

Jian Hu was strong and unpredictable. Just when Lu Zheng expected him to attack, he flapped his wings and flew towards Cangxiang Zihan. It was obvious what he was planning.
