Chapter 1137 - 837: Victory and Defeat
"Li Zheng won."
Zhan Zhouzhou spoke with a cold tone: "If the Blue Elf can’t come up with more trump cards, and Li Zheng continues to drag it out this way, the Blue Elf will be exhausted to death."
They are now on a completely different level compared to when they first entered the Matrix. Back then, they were still within the realm of ordinary humans, at most agile and knowing a few Martial Arts Techniques.
But now, each of them can easily unleash Fist Wind Sword Qi, long since transcending the level of ’humans’ and gradually developing in the direction of ’gods’, with their horizons broadening increasingly.
Zhan Zhouzhou was the outstanding one among them, and after observing for a while, she was able to see who held the advantage between Li Zheng and Drunk Evil Xiao.
The moment Li Zheng’s eyes changed, even Zhan Zhouzhou felt her pores on her body expand violently, giving her a sense of creeping terror.
In this state, she had no doubt that Li Zheng could easily take her life.
"Is this the Formless Body that Yan Jinjin talked about?" Zhan Zhouzhou pondered: "It indeed has its unique points, but the shortcomings are also obvious. As long as one defeats Li Zheng before he enters his current state, rendering him incapable of fighting, they can thwart this lethal move."
Zhan Zhouzhou assumed that Li Zheng needed time to brew before entering his current state, but she didn’t know that through practice, Li Zheng could already enter the ’Dao’ instantly, making the so-called flaw non-existent.
Unless one can kill Li Zheng the instant they meet, it is impossible to prevent him from entering the ’Dao’ state.
Over there, Drunk Evil Xiao was locked in a bitter struggle, with Li Zheng’s stamina seemingly endless, manifesting eight figures that continuously launched attacks on Drunk Evil Xiao, each time targeting his crucial defense points.
And every time Drunk Evil Xiao defended, he could only disperse one clone’s illusion, leaving him feeling like he had power but no place to use it, driving him to the brink of madness.
"Can you only rely on these sinister moves to fight?" Drunk Evil Xiao swung the Black Dragon Spear, forming a dense, impenetrable screen of spear shadows around him, provoking: "If you have the guts, fight me face to face!"
Unfortunately, once Li Zheng entered the ’Dao’, he lost subjective consciousness, relying entirely on instinct in combat, and all the abilities he possessed would be brought to their peak state at that moment. As long as he could defeat his opponent, he would employ any more disgraceful techniques without hesitation and wouldn’t be swayed by some words.
"Hmph!"
A ruthless look flashed through Drunk Evil Xiao’s eyes: "Since you have no martial ethics, don’t blame me then!"
Strike up the war song!
Drunk Evil Xiao opened his mouth to chant, humming the unique war song melody of the Celestial Dragon Race, and his aura surged wildly, his blood boiling, with muscles piling on his arm that was gripping the Black Dragon Spear, filled with explosive power.
Boom!
The Black Dragon Spear suddenly shook, with eight streams of vigor emanating from the surrounding space, spreading layer upon layer in all directions.
The figures Li Zheng had split into touched the vigorous energy and were instantly shattered.
Puff!
A true body appeared, chest caved in, spewing out fresh blood, flying backward.
"Where are you running!"
Drunk Evil Xiao stepped forward, pursuit in mid-air, spear tip aimed straight at Li Zheng’s heart.
"Old Li!" Phoenix Mountain exclaimed in shock, stamping his foot to rush forward for support.
"Don’t move." Zhan Zhouzhou held him down with one hand, saying indifferently: "It’s too late already."
Lu Li calmly spoke: "I feel Li Zheng has another trick, let’s watch."
Before his voice fell, Drunk Evil Xiao’s attack was already inches away from Li Zheng.
Just as Li Zheng’s heart was about to be pierced through, his empty hand suddenly made a grasping motion.
A wave of panic surged sharp within Drunk Evil Xiao’s heart, an existential threat enveloping him entirely.
And the source of that sense of threat was...
"Below!"
Drunk Evil Xiao looked down, catching in the corner of his eye a fiery red suddenly shot skyward, searing magma washed over his body; despite his high physical defense, being continuously washed by the magma, the high temperature seeped within, causing extremely severe damage.
"Damn it!"
Drunk Evil Xiao steps aside, trying to dash out of the magma’s enveloped zone; however, the magma possessed an inexplicable force, seemingly turning into a powerful glue, creating enormous resistance, rendering him immobile at that moment!
These were no ordinary magma, but enhanced by Li Zheng’s Genetic Ability, the temperature skyrocketing several times over.
If he couldn’t break through quickly, he would soon be roasted by magma, turning into charcoal.
"I admit defeat!"
The internal temperature elevated, Drunk Evil Xiao shouted out the words admitting defeat.
Immediately, the magma instantly cooled, dropping from a few thousand degrees to over thirty, like being wrapped in warm water.
Viscous magma slowly descended along its original path, revealing Drunk Evil Xiao, with skin color a shade between blue and purple, appearing like a baked shrimp, looking very unpleased.
Li Zheng took out several bottles of potions, gulped down half himself, and tossed the rest to Drunk Evil Xiao: "I know you didn’t go all out, but I didn’t use deadly force either, so let’s call it a draw, shall we?"
"No, you won." Drunk Evil Xiao caught the potions, gulping it all down, and the effects swiftly began mitigating his discomfort.
"Here, it’s yours." Li Zheng raised a hand and tossed the Black Dragon Spear over as well.
Drunk Evil Xiao caught the Black Dragon Spear, his heart astonished: "You... just giving it to me like this?"
The two had just been fighting over the ownership of the Black Dragon Spear the previous moment, yet in this moment, Li Zheng casually handed the Black Dragon Spear over to him?
This left Drunk Evil Xiao momentarily at a loss for words.
"Don’t get me wrong." Li Zheng shook his head, Thunder Wings behind him gently fluttering, flying towards the edge of the volcano, with Drunk Evil Xiao treading air following him.
"The Black Dragon Spear isn’t something I’m giving out for free, you’ll have to pay a price for it."
Drunk Evil Xiao then understood: "How much money, say it."
"Money?"
Li Zheng gave a faint smile: "To tell you the truth, though I only entered the Outer City a few months ago, money holds no Temptation for me anymore. What I want, you can afford; it just depends on whether you’re willing to give it."
Drunk Evil Xiao paused in his steps: "Do you want the Celestial Dragon Race’s legacy?"
Li Zheng turned back, saying: "I’ve heard about the Celestial Dragon Race’s deeds. It seems there’s only you left, no other living member of the Celestial Dragon Race. Have you ever thought about what would happen to the Celestial Dragon Race’s legacy when you die?"
Of course, Drunk Evil Xiao had thought this through seriously.
Because with him being the sole survivor, once he dies, the Celestial Dragon Race would truly go extinct.
Drunk Evil Xiao had considered finding someone from another race to reproduce, but doing so would dilute the Celestial Dragon Race’s bloodline, so even if he encountered a desired target in life, to ensure the purity of the Celestial Dragon Race bloodline, he had to bury his feelings deep within.
"If extinction is what it is, then so be it..." Drunk Evil Xiao sighed wistfully, "Many years ago, I thought about passing the Celestial Dragon Race’s Techniques to another race, but... over the years, none of the races I’ve interacted with have been qualified to receive our Celestial Dragon Race’s legacy."
