Chapter 547: Chapter 546: Proud and Complacent
"What’s the matter? Scared?" Liu Zheng said with a smug expression, "If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might consider sparing you."
"In your dreams!" Chen Yu shouted angrily.
"Courageous. I really want to see whether it’s your mouth that’s tough, or my fists."
"You... you..." Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Chen Yu trembled with rage, "Don’t get too pleased with yourself too soon, do you think I’d be afraid of you?"
"If you’re not afraid, then I have even less to worry about." Liu Zheng sneered coldly, and then his body shook violently as he charged toward Chen Yu like an arrow released from a bow, his fists flying out together, left and right, hammering towards Chen Yu.
"Bang bang bang..."
Their fists collided, and the sound of explosions was unceasing.
However, at that moment, Chen Yu was clearly at a disadvantage, as Liu Zheng’s every punch was laden with monstrous force. She couldn’t resist and had to exert herself to block them. But after all, she was a woman, how could she possibly be Liu Zheng’s opponent? Merely after three or four punches, she was driven back to the corner of the wall by Liu Zheng.
Watching Chen Yu in a sorry state, Liu Zheng laughed haughtily.
"I underestimated you. It seems I had too high an opinion of you. I didn’t expect you to have such strong power, but it doesn’t matter because I’m going to kill you in a moment. Then, I’ll go find my master and tell him all about this. By then, I will be the disciple of the master, and I’ll have my master avenge me. I’ll make every single one of you pay, and all of you will die!"
"Pah!"
Chen Yu couldn’t help but spit out the blood in her mouth, she wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and then glared at Liu Zheng, "Don’t delude yourself."
"If that’s the case, then I have nothing to hesitate about," Liu Zheng said.
As soon as his words fell, Liu Zheng leapt up suddenly and pounced towards Chen Yu, a heavy punch aimed at her.
Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly retreated.
However, just as she was retreating, Liu Zheng took another step and lunged at Chen Yu again.
"Boom boom boom..."
Chen Yu and Liu Zheng’s intense battle continued, with them clashing continuously, causing violent impacts one after another.
Chen Yu was originally a delicate woman, how could she be Liu Zheng’s opponent? In a short while, she was beaten into retreat by Liu Zheng.
Moreover, under the powerful force of Liu Zheng, Chen Yu had absolutely no power to fight back.
"Bang!"
Liu Zheng’s fist once again smashed onto Chen Yu’s shoulder, and with a muffled grunting, her body was suddenly sent flying out, falling onto the ground outside the room.
Chen Yu clutched her chest, coughing as she stood up, her complexion deathly pale.
"How are you feeling?" Liu Zheng frowned, then quickly walked over to Chen Yu and reached out to support her.
Chen Yu looked up, glared at Liu Zheng, and said, "Don’t pretend to be sympathetic, I tell you, today you are definitely going to die."
"Hmph, I refuse to believe this curse," Liu Zheng said.
With a wave of his hand, a burst of flames suddenly surged from his body, then transformed into a fire dragon, devouring Chen Yu.
"Oh no!"
Seeing the might of the flames, Chen Yu’s expression suddenly changed.
"Pu-chi!"
After the fire dragon devoured Chen Yu, it continued forward, piercing through her body, and finally, it stopped above her head.
Chen Yu’s face was filled with shock as she looked at her own head, then slowly, she closed her eyes.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, Chen Yu’s body directly turned to ashes.
"She’s dead... Chen Yu is just... dead?" Liu Zheng stared at the corpse before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had originally planned to use Chen Yu’s life to seek revenge from his master.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu was killed by him so easily, and moreover, her death was so tragic.
At this moment, a sense of indescribable fear suddenly surged in Liu Zheng’s heart. He was afraid, terrified, because his master was too powerful.
In his memory, his master should be like an immortal, an undying existence.
But now, whenever he thought of his master, fear couldn’t help but rise in his heart.
Because his master was indeed too formidable, and he was far too weak.
He knew that with his current power, he would probably never be able to reach the realm of his master.
"Enough, I can’t hope to reach his level in this lifetime, so I can only pin my hopes on the next."
Liu Zheng shook his head and then repressed the fear in his heart before turning around and walking out of the villa.
Once outside the villa, Liu Zheng didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he went to a nearby forest, sat down cross-legged, and started cultivating his technique.
Even though his strength was not enough to match his master’s, he possessed qualities that others didn’t have, such as his perseverance and his extremely resolute determination.
"I, Liu Zheng, never admit defeat. Even if my strength is not equal to his now, I will never give up. One day, I will stand at the pinnacle of the world and look down upon everyone!"
As he chanted to himself, Liu Zheng began to stir his True Yuan.
Soon after, a golden lotus suddenly appeared above Liu Zheng’s head.
The golden lotus floated in midair, radiating a dazzling light that made the rest of the world seem insignificant beneath it.
Seeing the golden lotus, an ecstatic smile suddenly spread across Liu Zheng’s face. He roared out loud, then poured all of his True Yuan into the golden lotus. Instantly, the lotus began to sway violently, bursting forth with brilliant light.
At that moment, an angry roar suddenly echoed in Liu Zheng’s ears: "You wretched boy, who sent you to kill my disciple?"
The voice was calm but filled with endless fury.
Upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Liu Zheng’s face.
"Are you my master? Ha, I’ve long heard that you’re an old demon. Now that I see you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."
"Who are you? When did I ever teach a disciple?"
The voice continued to question.
Liu Zheng’s face was full of scorn: "Haha, whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter. After all, you’ve already been killed by me. Now, you can just wait to have your soul drained by me."
As soon as the words fell, the golden lotus suddenly burst forth with a radiance that reached the heavens.
At the same time, in the midst of the light, a golden pill emerged.
"This..."
Seeing the pill, Liu Zheng’s expression froze instantly.
The pill was a treasure given to him by his master, which could provide him with a great deal of True Yuan and strength.
Furthermore, the pill could temporarily maintain his body’s vigor, ensuring his endurance.
"Who exactly are you? Why did you attack my disciple and then kill her?"
The voice kept asking.
"Hmph, I was merely following someone’s orders," Liu Zheng snorted coldly.
"Who was it?" The voice asked again.
"My enemies. They said that if I helped them get rid of you, they would offer me many benefits," Liu Zheng said.
"Your enemies, who are they?" The voice asked again.
"I have many enemies. As for who, I cannot say yet. However, my enemies will all die by my blade," Liu Zheng declared firmly.
"Is that so? Are you sure they will die by your hand, and not be scared off by you?"
The voice continued.
Hearing this, Liu Zheng was stunned, then snorted coldly and said, "Impossible! They could never escape. Only I can defeat them, only I can kill them!"
"Hahaha, what a claim that only you can kill them. Since that’s the case, today you shall test to see whether you truly have the qualifications." The voice shouted loudly.
Afterwards, the golden lotus suddenly erupted with brilliant light, and mysterious symbols appeared, spreading out in all directions.
And Liu Zheng felt his strength beginning to drain away from his body like a deluge.
Panic crossed Liu Zheng’s face: "Master, what... what have you done to me?"
"What have I done to you? Hmph, don’t you know exactly what you’ve done? However, I’d advise you to take the antidote pill quickly, otherwise, not even an Immortal could save your life!" The voice said indifferently.
"I won’t listen to you. Today, I will avenge my junior sister," Liu Zheng shouted.
After speaking, his body slowly rose into the air and then hovered there.
"Heh, how sad that your master died by the hand of his own disciple," the voice said dispassionately.
"My master... is he dead?"
