Chapter 1017 - 719: Ice and Fire Attachment Abnormality
"Celestial Will Organization!"
Li Zheng’s heart filled with hate. He had only been in the wilderness for less than an hour, yet the other side had somehow located him and sent a highly skilled opponent to kill him!
"They must have some means to pinpoint me!"
A thought flashed in Li Zheng’s mind: "Is it the genes from my original body within me?"
This seemed to be the easiest target for others to locate.
But now he couldn’t think too much; that ape-man had arrived close, brandishing a fiery spear, which descended with force, and Li Zheng’s vision filled with illusions, as if towering mountains pressed down on him.
Li Zheng lightly bit the tip of his tongue, using the slight pain to stimulate his spiritual power, his eyes shone brightly: "Break it for me!"
The illusion vanished instantly, leaving only the fiery spear about to crush his head.
The Black Dragon Spear was raised to block, intercepting the attack.
But the strength of the ape-man was far beyond Li Zheng’s expectations.
With a ’boom’, Li Zheng’s airborne body was knocked half a meter downwards and almost couldn’t maintain himself from falling to the ground.
It must be noted, after training in the Gravity Field, Li Zheng was already able to move freely in an environment of twenty times gravity, with every cell in his body hardened and incredibly strong.
At present, he could easily face hundreds of versions of himself adapted to ten times gravity and win effortlessly.
Especially after repeatedly refining all his martial arts skills with Zhan Zhouzhou, his progress had been remarkable, and by technique alone, he could make his ten times gravity state self flee in disarray.
"Last time against Nato, they rendered me defenseless, but now I won’t be so weak!" Li Zheng thought, "Even if I can’t defeat Nato, I wouldn’t fall behind so quickly. The strength of this ape-man is almost equal to the Shadow Controller Leader; facing him alone, the odds are not high!"
Li Zheng swept with his spear, forcing the ape-man to retreat over ten meters, warily eyeing the Black Dragon Spear.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Zheng shook his body, leaving behind five identical figures around him, then all six moved simultaneously, heading toward the ape-man.
The ape-man sniffed sharply, locked eyes on the Li Zheng to the left, and grinned sinisterly: "There you are!"
Li Zheng was startled; the ape-man must be a top expert carefully selected by the Celestial Will Organization, able to easily break his perfect disguise!
He increased his speed, switching between the six figures, yet every time he switched, the ape-man’s gaze fixed unwaveringly on him, without error.
"Petty trick, Nato and his useless group couldn’t even handle a small fry like you." The ape-man lifted his spear and precisely lunged at where Li Zheng truly was.
Li Zheng’s eyelid twitched, as he too thrust with his spear: "Arrogant fool, who are you calling a small fry?"
"You..." The ape-man sneered, but then his expression changed briefly to confusion.
In his eyes, Li Zheng’s figure disappeared entirely, replaced by a field of blooming flowers.
Butterflies fluttered among the flowers, the scenery was delightful.
A sudden breeze swept through, causing the flowers to sway and shedding petals.
The soft petals floated toward his face, suddenly turning hard, their edges carrying a sharp aura.
The ape-man did not relax, he flew to the side, spinning vertically while shattering all the petals with his fiery spear.
Ding ding ding ding~
The petals clashed with the spear, producing a sharp metallic sound!
"Make your move now!" Mirel’s nostrils trickled with two thin lines, she wiped her hand and found it covered in blood.
"Got it!"
Li Zheng retracted the Black Dragon Spear, activated the Demon Thunder Wings to chase the ape-man, shaking his hand to thrust the spear, its tip radiating a cold shimmer, targeting the weak spot on the fiery spear.
The eye on the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon pattern on the Black Dragon Spear suddenly gleamed, emitting a loud dragon roar. A phantom of a golden dragon appeared around the gun, fitting Li Zheng’s aura and technique, it opened its mouth to bite towards the ape-man.
Mirel’s spiritual power was not as deep as the opponent’s and could only affect the ape-man for a brief moment; she soon lost her endurance, feeling faint, almost losing her balance.
Meanwhile, the flowing petals in front of the ape-man vanished, replaced by a roaring Five-Clawed Golden Dragon trying to engulf him.
The ape-man positioned his spear and swept it horizontally.
Behind him, a huge red gorilla appeared, turning and lashing its tail at the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Snap!
Both illusions shattered and disappeared, the Black Dragon Spear clashing with the fiery spear, its shaft bending into a bow shape.
The fiery spear was much harder, only bending slightly, but fine cracks formed along the rod.
"Good spear!" The ape-man looked at the Black Dragon Spear with greedy eyes: "The Crane Race’s engraving craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary, such a fine weapon in your hands is a waste!"
"Poor wretch, can you afford it?" Li Zheng taunted, disrupting the ape-man’s mindset.
The ape-man showed a momentary fury but quickly suppressed it: "Afford? Killing you means this spear will be mine."
"A real pauper, never used Crane Race engraved weapons, huh? Don’t know they require a master?" Li Zheng increased his force, though the ape-man didn’t continue to strike, nor was Li Zheng in a hurry to act.
He drew spiritual power from the Dark Realm while easing his numbed hands.
The ape-man possessed brute strength. After several exchanges, even with Li Zheng’s physique, his hands felt almost shattered, with his palms slightly swollen where they met the Black Dragon Spear.
The ape-man wasn’t comfortable either, using the backward spear-holding posture to hide his hands behind him.
Li Zheng’s strength was considerable, too. Neither gained advantage from direct confrontations, but outwardly they maintained a tough stance, not revealing any vulnerability.
Fortunately, Li Zheng not only had his strength but also an external aid like a cheat.
[Like you, he’s also just dragging time to ease the discomfort; better seize the moment and attack decisively!]
Li Zheng’s pupils narrowed, not waiting for the ape-man to react, he immediately lunged with his spear.
This time, Li Zheng didn’t choose brute force but used techniques to attack, with the Black Dragon Spear transforming endlessly in his hand.
Almost all these techniques were self-taught, not systematic, yet yielded unusual moves, capturing the attack rhythm temporarily, leaving the ape-man overwhelmed.
But the ape-man’s combat experience was extremely rich; despite the apparent danger, he managed to evade deadly moves each time, gradually reclaiming the rhythm bit by bit.
Li Zheng realized he couldn’t prolong it, ordering Prelis’ Eye: "Probe his weakness, any minor weakness will do!"
[Yes, he fears the cold, you should stall him first!]
Cold?
That’s easy then!
Li Zheng rubbed his hands on the Black Dragon Spear, icy blue chills instantly enveloping the shaft, expanding around.
Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice Element!
After months, Li Zheng activated his long-unused Genetic Ability once more, surprisingly discovering it had undergone unnoticed changes.
