Chapter 602: Chapter 601: Healing
All the Liu Family disciples screamed tragically as they turned to nothingness in the wave of light and dissipated with the wind.
And the wound on Liu Zheng’s body began to heal at that moment.
"What!?"
Liu Zheng’s face drastically changed, his eyes bulging.
He had never imagined Liu Zheng’s body could be so tough, to even withstand the Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Soul Art.
But he didn’t panic, instead, he gritted his teeth, and a golden long sword appeared in his hand.
With a flick of his finger, Sword Qi burst forth, stabbing towards Liu Zheng.
"Ding!"
A sword blade and a knife blade collided, emitting a crisp sound, sparks flying everywhere.
The Sword Qi was deflected, but Liu Zheng didn’t move an inch, still standing in his place.
Liu Zheng’s face turned livid, and he shouted furiously, "You little bastard, don’t think you’re fearless just because you are a Liu Family disciple, I must kill you today!"
Liu Zheng sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I be afraid of you?"
"Seeking death!"
Liu Zheng’s eyes reddened, and with a wave of his hands, the long sword shot out again, turning into a streak of light, heading straight for Liu Zheng’s throat.
"Hmph!"
Liu Zheng snorted coldly, took a step forward with his right leg, and kicked out fiercely.
"Boom!"
The long sword collided with his leg shadow, both flickering before retreating.
"What?!" Liu Zheng’s face showed shock, his heart deeply alarmed.
Although he was only at the third-tier Martial Emperor realm, he wasn’t someone that any third-tier Martial Venerate could contend with.
His power could easily crush four third-tier Martial Venerates, or even five or six at the sixth-tier!
But now he had exchanged a hard blow with Liu Zheng, and both suffered, which spoke volumes about how formidable Liu Zheng’s strength was!
Liu Zheng’s complexion darkened, staring coldly at Liu Zheng, he said, "No wonder you dare to offend the Liu Family, you seem to have some tricks up your sleeve. But relying on these tricks, you’re in no position to compete with me!"
"Is that so?"
Liu Zheng said with a cold laugh, "Then let’s see you try it out!"
As he spoke, a flash in his eyes, a surge of mental power burst from his sea of consciousness, forming a huge Spirit Arrow in the air.
"Swoosh!"
The giant Spirit Arrow shot towards that Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng’s pupils constricted, showing a wary look in his eyes; he hastily tossed away the long sword in his hand and quickly moved to the left to dodge.
"Buzz!"
The Spirit Arrow struck the ground, piercing a deep pit, leaving behind a huge hole.
And this was merely Liu Zheng’s Spirit Arrow; if Liu Zheng were to use the True Yuan Arrow, its power would be even more terrifying.
"Hmph! Your power has indeed become much stronger than before, but such power is okay against ordinary Martial Lords, ineffective against a sixth-tier Spiritual Puppet Master like me!" Liu Zheng arrogantly declared.
"Oh, is that so?"
Liu Zheng’s mouth curled into a strange arc.
He casually reached out his arm, grabbed the golden long sword, and threw it outwards.
"Whoosh!"
The golden long sword flew from his grasp, tracing an arc in the sky, hurling forward with a sharp whistling sound at tremendous speed, like a meteor.
Liu Zheng’s pupils dilated, he shouted loudly, and pushed forward with both palms, his body turned into a shadow that met the incoming attack, and he struck out fiercely with both palms.
"Clang!"
The two palm forces collided fiercely, emitting a piercing friction sound, and the golden long sword was directly deflected mid-flight, while Liu Zheng also stumbled backward at the same time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He repeatedly stepped on the floor, plowing several long furrows into it, before coming to a stop.
Liu Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of mockery, and said coldly, "Is that all you’ve got?"
"What?!" Liu Zheng’s face showed anger as he said, "Do you think that’s all I can do?!" He abruptly pulled out a dark object.
"This is..."
Liu Zheng frowned and said, "The Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads? You’ve actually refined the Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads!"
The Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads are a spiritual artifact, possessing terrifying thunder and lightning power. Once ingested, they can enhance the attack power of thunder and lightning attributes.
Liu Zheng sneered, "I know you’ve cultivated a secret technique that can absorb the power of thunder and lightning, so I specially prepared the Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads to deal with you!"
Liu Zheng said, "I really don’t believe there’s such a thing as a free lunch in this world!"
Liu Zheng’s expression turned dark as he said, "Indeed, I have harbored malicious intentions! My Liu Family’s influence is vast within the Great Xia Kingdom, and killing a person is as easy as flipping a hand. Moreover, the stronger your talent, the happier the Liu Family is. Therefore, I have decided to root you out completely, to eradicate future troubles once and for all!"
Liu Zheng scoffed, "And what if I refuse?"
Liu Zheng said, "In that case, I’ll just have to cripple your limbs and Dantian first, turning you into a complete and utter cripple!"
"Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"
Liu Zheng snorted coldly, his wrist turning, and he held the Vajra Pestle in his hand.
The Vajra Pestle emitted a dazzling light, releasing an aura of antiquity and vastness.
"Hmph, a cripple is a cripple! Even if you bring out a spiritual weapon, it still won’t change the fact that you are a cripple!"
Liu Zheng’s face twisted cruelly as he formed seals with both hands and uttered in a low shout, "Seal!"
Suddenly, a burst of thunder and lightning erupted from the Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads, shooting up into the sky and condensing into a purple barrier above, enveloping the entire room and forming a sea of thunder.
"This kid actually has Spiritual Treasure Body Protection?!"
Liu Zheng’s pupils shrank, showing a look of disbelief.
Liu Zheng thought he was well-prepared for dealing with Liu Zheng, having a Spiritual Treasure for defense to ensure absolutely nothing would go wrong.
But now, a Spiritual Treasure had suddenly appeared, catching him off guard.
"Damn it, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, today you’re going to die without a doubt!"
His eyes turned icy as he struck out with his palms in mid-air, condensing palm imprints into lotus flowers of purple hue above.
These purple lotus flowers radiated surprising waves of spiritual energy, each blooming with a suffocating power and emitting the might to destroy heaven and earth, enveloping all around Liu Zheng, turning it into a prison.
"Boom boom boom!"
Thunder roared, and the purple lotus flowers bloomed, like fireworks in the sky.
Each lotus flower contained tremendous power, overwhelming like a massive mountain bearing down, making Liu Zheng’s bones creak and groan.
"Such overpowering strength, even a seventh-rank Martial Venerate might not be able to withstand it, huh?"
A solemn expression appeared on Liu Zheng’s face, but his eyes were full of mockery.
His body suddenly grew several times taller in this instant, muscles bulging, clothes tearing apart to reveal his robust chest.
"Explode!"
He roared fiercely, and the Vajra Pestle began to spin in the air, even the sky above trembled.
Waves of energy spread out, causing the entire building to shake violently.
"Bang bang bang!"
All the purple lotus flowers exploded, shattering into countless purple petals all over the sky.
Liu Zheng’s body vanished in an instant, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Liu Zheng, slamming the Vajra Pestle down onto his chest.
"Boom!"
The Vajra Pestle unleashed a powerful force, smashing Liu Zheng into the floor below.
"Crack crack!"
The floor tiles shattered, dust flew, Liu Zheng’s chest caved in, his complexion turned deathly pale, and his eyes filled with terror.
"Blurgh!"
Liu Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face showing shock. He couldn’t have imagined losing so thoroughly, completely no match for Liu Zheng.
"Ah!!"
He bellowed, his Spiritual Energy surging into his Dantian, as he pressed his palms downwards.
"Boom!"
A loud rumble spread out, the floor tiles shattered completely, terrifying suction emerging from the cracks in the floor as if to drag Liu Zheng down.
"Haha, Liu Zheng, that’s all there is to you!"
Liu Zheng’s complexion drastically changed, about to retract his hands, when he heard a mocking voice beside him.
His pupils narrowed as he stared at the figure standing beneath the floor, exclaiming in surprise, "You, how could you possibly escape from inside my Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads?!"
Liu Zheng sneered, "The Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads are indeed powerful, but unfortunately, they are useless against me! Not only can I walk out from the trap you set with the Nine Netherworld Thunder Beads, but I can also break it."
