Chapter 1090 790: Three Fire Ape Race Members (Part 2)
However, after this period of hard training, Li Zheng confidently believes his physical strength is not inferior to that Fire Ape Race, and may even surpass it.
His combat skills have also progressed rapidly from sitting and meditating under the Bodhi Tree day and night.
If he were to face that Fire Ape Race now, he could match them just with his own strength and combat skills.
Give him some time, capturing them is not impossible.
"Li Zheng, they're not here with good intentions." Mirel's face darkened slightly; she felt completely suppressed by the strength of those three men; she wasn't an opponent for any one of them.
"I can see that, just a few more Celestial Will Organization lackeys, persistent as ghosts." Li Zheng said coldly, "You and Mudala head to the front lines first, I'll deal with them and then join you."
"What? You're going to take on three alone?" Mirel exclaimed, "Not possible! These three are even stronger than the last Fire Ape Race; you struggled with one, and now you're taking on three..."
"Don't worry." Li Zheng patted her hand and said, "The breakthrough in gravity by twenty times has brought a significant improvement; handling them is just a bit troublesome."
Breaking through the gravity coefficients of fifteen times and twenty times is indeed fraught with danger, but once achieved, the improvements are remarkably significant, resulting in proportional rewards for the risks taken.
When Li Zheng first encountered Feng Yue, Feng Yue was capable of single-handedly slaying multiple quasi-Purple Level twisted creatures, but the turtle race was more skilled at survival and defense, with weaker offensive capabilities.
Otherwise, when faced with Nato and the Shadow Controller Leader, he alone could have held them off.
Provided that Nato and others don't utilize Spiritual Power...
Mirel did not move, Li Zheng, without turning back, ordered, "Mudala, take her away!"
Just as Mirel said, the strength of these three individuals surpassed that of the previous Fire Ape Race.
Li Zheng taking them on single-handedly is utterly impossible; if Mirel and her group were to stay, they would only be captured first to coerce Li Zheng once he's entangled by opponents.
Thus, having Mirel and her team leave now is the best choice.
"Master, I'm not weaker than the Fire Ape Race; I can stay to help." Mudala hesitated.
Li Zheng raised his hand, and the Black Dragon Spear appeared in segments in his hand: "Protect Mirel, if anything happens to her, I'll make you accompany her in death!"
As the words fell, he released Mirel's arm and walked slowly towards the three Fire Ape Race members.
"Li Zheng..." Mirel bit her lip.
Li Zheng paused, "Go, don't let me worry."
"If you can't win, run, you'll be safe over there." Mirel put on her cloak and hood, turned around, and quickly ran in another direction of the Golden Light Zone with Mudala.
There is where everyone gathered after entering the Sin Domain; there even people like Nato dare not act indiscriminately, as long as Li Zheng can flee there, the three enemies won't dare to take rash actions, eliminating the immediate danger.
After Mirel left, Li Zheng spun the Black Dragon Spear, slowly walking to a spot 500 meters in front of the three opponents and stood firmly, taking off and storing away his concealing clothing, a smirk on his lips: "Are the three here for revenge or to capture me?"
The three across also took off their concealing clothing, revealing themselves as three Fire Ape Race members, the one in the middle with a transversal scar across his face, splitting the upper and lower parts of his nose.
He stepped forward and said, "The Celestial Will Organization tasks don't matter, but daring to kill my tribesmen is a capital crime. If you obediently stretch your neck, I can make your death easier."
"Such arrogance!" Li Zheng sneered, "May I know the name?"
"Fire Ape Race elder, Holiens Gugor." Holiens raised his hand and pulled out a wide-backed saber, extremely long, dragging to the ground.
"I thought you were King of the Wilderness, with such a bold claim." Li Zheng shook his head mockingly, "Turns out you're a minor figure, not even the chieftain."
Holiens gripped the saber handle, his hairy knuckles cracking; he was an elder only because he failed to become the chieftain, having to settle for a title without power.
The saddest part is there are many such elders like him, and they must obey the chieftain's orders.
In other words, these so-called elders are merely the Fire Ape Race's advanced henchmen, with a slightly prestigious title.
"Speak wildly if you will, but today, no matter how you struggle, you must die here!" Holiens said coldly, abruptly vanishing from his spot.
"Ice!"
Li Zheng swept the gun horizontally, cold air swirling on the spear shaft, faint moisture in the air instantly freezing into dense ice crystals, carried by the sweep of the gun, forming a brilliant arc.
Clang!
Saber clashed with spear, Holiens revealed his form, pivoted, saber swinging in a circle, brutally smashing down onto Li Zheng's head.
The saber trailed with three shadows, two slow and one fast merging with the saber, merging with each pushing momentum fiercer!
The third shadow outpaced the others, coinciding with the second, amplifying the saber's force eightfold, suffocating.
Li Zheng, appearing frozen in fright, stood still, not raising the Black Dragon Spear, sliced cleanly in half.
Boom!
The saber struck the ground, gravel flying, shrouding the area in dust.
Holiens sniffed the air, no blood scent!
"Those who strike first are often the weakest." Li Zheng's voice rang from close-by, halfway through the sentence, his voice changed direction: "Now it seems, you're no better than the guy I killed, not seeing through my dummy."
In two short sentences, Li Zheng's voice shifted nine positions, and as the last word fell, he'd returned before Holiens.
The dust settled, Li Zheng stood unscathed, one foot on the saber's back, wearing a mocking expression.
"How is this possible?" Holiens slightly shocked, "I clearly locked onto your aura!"
In his perception, Li Zheng stood unmoved, never leaving the spot.
How did the opponent evade this strike?
"Now it's my turn."
Li Zheng gripped the spear with both hands, unleashing boundless cold air, intensifying, turning from light blue to deep blue, a faint golden glow appearing on him, subtly connecting to the surrounding Celestial Dragon Race Battle Intent Domain.
"Able to resonate with the Celestial Dragon Race even without battling twisted creatures?" Holiens' face drastically changed: "Can't let him live!"
He forcibly pulled the saber, one hand gripping its back, resisted Li Zheng's strike, leaping backward: "This kid is a problem, attack together, finish this quickly!"
Li Zheng's eyelid twitched, then fury erupted: "Damn, shameless dogs, I thought you wanted a duel! Damn you, I'll take you down first!"
Golden light burst from him, battle intent soared, nearby Celestial Dragon Race figures seemed to come alive, expressions animated.
"Sweep!"
Without flamboyant technique, the Black Dragon Spear swept horizontally, but the force multiplied, compressing the air with a dull sound, like ghostly wailing.
Bang!
The spear tip met the saber, formidable force causing Holiens to stagger back, struggling to regain stability.
The hand holding the saber trembled, barely able to hold on.
"Celestial Dragon Race's power truly formidable!" Holiens' expression turned grim, "Able to freely resonate with the Celestial Dragon Race, given time he could wield the Golden Light Zone, such a loss for us."
The other two Fire Ape Race members rushed behind him.
"Together, kill him!" Holiens yelled, "We can't let him escape, or he'll be a great threat in the future!"
Three attacked in unison, Li Zheng's pressure soared, he vanished from his spot.
In the perception of Holiens and the three, eight identical auras identical to Li Zheng appeared nearby, scattered in different positions.
Just now, it was this technique he used to escape Holiens' attack unscathed.
