Chapter 7 (2/2)

”I don't care who is it, just give us a fight! We've spent so much effort coming all the way here!”

The livestream chat too was exploding.

— Li Zheng is in Yuanting County too? Seems like the rumour about Yuanting County having a pink name is true?

— But the person being protected by Li Zheng is clearly a green name. Are the benefactors colourblind?

— Just now I saw Li Zheng and the newbie on the stone pillar hugging together! The relations.h.i.+p between them is clearly not simple!

— Those people who went to the arena personally really got a bargain. They've basically bought a ticket for the 2415 Chinese New Year show only to realise it was a revenge match between rivals when they entered!

— If I knew I would have bankrupt myself to buy a ticket! Is it too late if I go now?!

— Quietly asking, does anyone still remember Papa Dou…

”Are you going to give way?” Ji Meng was very impatient, but there was no way he would win if he were to clash directly with Li Zheng. ”I'm not going to hit him, I just want to ask him something.”

”No! I don't want to answer at all!” Ling Xiaolu objected fiercely.

”If you fight him, you're bullying a newbie. If I fight you, I'm also bullying a newbie. I don't want to fight you.”

The threat in Li Zheng's words were very obvious. However, Ji Meng was the sort to never be cowed by force, and instead, was further enraged.

”Sure, I'll like to see how an experienced player like you bully a newbie.”

Li Zheng pushed Ling Xiaolu towards the back, and with a swing of his sword he again met Ji Meng's broadsword that was coming down upon him. The clash rang sonorously.

The two entangled together, flying up into the air and landing, and it was difficult to separate them. Ji Meng's attacks were strong and powerful, but they could always be easily pushed aside by Li Zheng. Each time Li Zheng shook his sleeves, Ji Meng's strength would be completely demolished.

Ji Meng refused to be outdone. After swinging his sword with both hands a few times, electricity ran down his arms, and the crackling grew louder. Dragging his sword on the ground, he seemed to be cultivating a thunderstorm.

Li Zheng did not hide. He stood where he was, wielding his sword. Ling Xiaolu who was standing nearby had sharp eyes, and he saw that Li Zheng's feet were above the ground, hovering slightly in the air, and a whirlwind was building under his feet. The wind was also gradually picking up in intensity, and Li Zheng's clothes were billowing in the air. Standing in the midst of the storm, he was as steady as a rock.

Filled with electricity, Ji Meng flexed his arms, and an enormous lightning strike shot towards Li Zheng. The tiles of the roof along the lightning path all cracked and shattered.

”The Roar of Thunder!”

Unconsciously, Ling Xiaolu raised his arms to block that blinding light. In his heart, he felt anxious for Li Zheng, while Li Zheng still stood there motionless, looking as though he was about to be swallowed up by that gigantic bolt.

At the critical moment, Li Zheng's lips parted slightly. ”Break!”

The bolt split apart as though someone had taken an axe to it, dissipating to either side, heading down the roof onto the ground. Deep furrows were carved into the ground, nearly hitting the audience. Ling Xiaolu was stunned. If Li Zheng had only cared about himself and dodged it, the one who would be blasted into charcoal would have been him.

After the crowd's fright settled, they exploded into exclamations and cheers.

”Hubby, fighting!”

”Adonis is too handsome!”

”An amazing fight!”

Yuanting County had never experienced such traffic before, with people flowing in non-stop. Ling Long and his colleagues broke out in sweat, afraid that the game's engine would not be able to take it.

Ling Xiaolu shook his head violently, forcing himself to sober up. So what if the battle was very entertaining? This was not the time for him to admire the fight with all his attention. He took advantage of the two people being locked in battle, s.h.i.+fting backwards step by step, and took action.

Despite the battle, Ji Meng still kept an eye on Ling Xiaolu's every moment. Seeing him retreat, he knew he was intending to run away again.

”Stop there!”

A feint, and he sidestepped Li Zheng, running towards Ling Xiaolu.

However, Li Zheng was faster than him, and with a teleport, he was immediately next to Ling Xiaolu. With a push of his palm, Ling Xiaolu was pushed a few metres away, and Ji Meng ended up hitting nothing but air.

Of all coincidences, Li Zheng's palm happen to touch the back of Ling Xiaolu's neck. He was an extremely sensitive person, and despite only having touched it for a very short moment, he could feel something different there.

Li Zheng's hand relaxed. His longsword left his hand, engaging Ji Meng's broadsword. Twisting around it a few times, Ji Meng's broadsword was forced out of his hands.

The longsword returned to its original snake body. Ji Meng's broadsword was tossed into the air, landing heavily three feet into the ground.

Li Zheng waved his right arm, and the snake again returned into his sleeves.

Ling Xiaolu rubbed his eyes. So that really was a snake, he did not see wrongly.

The broadsword that had pierced the ground too exploded, and turned into a strange beast. Its head was buried in the dirt, its body exposed, and its four short legs were scrabbling desperately.

Using all four of its limbs, the tiny fellow finally managed to pull its head out from the ground. Falling flat on its b.u.t.t, it shook its head wildly.

Ling Xiaolu could finally see its appearance clearly. It had a round face with a plump and chubby body. Its entire body was a golden yellow, and like the sword, there were black markings on it, with lightning crackling around it.

The beast sat there in a daze for a few minutes, then started to cry aloud and ran back to its owner.

Ling Xiaolu, ”…”

Ji Meng had lost the fight, and his pet had even cried because of it. His expression was very ugly.

Li Zheng did not say anything to his defeated opponent, but slowly turned towards Ling Xiaolu.

Under his observant gaze, Ling Xiaolu's heart pounded. He had sought his protection to hide from Ji Meng, but he too forgot that Li Zheng was also one of his greatest enemies.

Afraid, he took two steps back. Ji Meng who had experienced this before knew what he was going to do just by looking at him.

”Don't let him run off!” He shouted.

Seeing that it was already late, Ling Xiaolu did a backflip in front of everyone. ”I'm going!”

A cloud of dust appeared, and his shadow vanished.

A building away, Ling Xiaolu landed safely.

Another safe escape. Before he could sigh in relief, Ling Xiaolu was alarmed to discover something clinging onto his foot. He was unable to take even a step.

Ling Long who had been transported along with him yelled out in shock. ”It's a tracking seed!”

A plant-type skill, the tracking seed was the biggest jinx to escape spells. However, Ling Xiaolu had already ran away so quickly, who was the one who could so swiftly use this skill that could combat Ling Xiaolu's ability? Only a person with a very fast reaction speed was able to do so.

”What to do?!” Ling Xiaolu asked anxiously. His movement was limited, his dig skill was in cool down, and he also could no longer use his emergency disconnect ability.

Ling Long too was in a quandary. Right at this moment, they heard someone landing behind them. Ling Xiaolu stiffened, and dared not turn back.

The one who released the seed slowly walked a semi-circle around Ling Xiaolu, carefully examining any flaws from him. Ling Xiaolu did not dare to look up, and he followed the other person's feet with the corner of his eye. Every step felt like it landed on his heart.

When that person finally stopped in front of Ling Xiaolu, Ling Xiaolu was already soaked with sweat.

Not long ago, Ling Xiaolu had still been enchanted by Li Zheng's otherworldly appearance. However, when he saw this face again, he only felt a suffocating terror.

Even his voice sounded bone-chillingly frightening.

”Just now, what skill did you use?”
