Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Can I Join?
Makato was stunned as he fought Lu Zheng: "What is this!?"
He knew Lu Zheng had used a berserk technique but he did not expect Lu Zheng to grow stronger as he fought. Normally, berserk techniques lasted for some time before losing their strength.
He did not know that this was Lu Zheng's first time using Strength Will. His body was growing acclimated to the sudden rise in strength.
Lu Zheng's thoughts were fluid and focused on the fight. He had never felt such calmness in his life.
All unnecessary thoughts were destroyed and pushed away by Strength Will as Lu Zheng fought. Only various battle techniques formed in his head.
Makato felt overwhelmed as Lu Zheng fought him. Each attack was stronger than the previous one and every time Makato was hit, he would feel his senses dull.
"Hmph!" Makato drew away from Lu Zheng but Lu Zheng did not linger at all as if he had already expected it. With a simple push of his legs, he jumped towards the man to continue battle.
"Such speed!" Makato exclaimed with obvious shock. Lu Zheng was so fast that even his Togan did not anticipate his sudden movement.
Yu Er Dan was not left alone. Even though Lu Zheng had suddenly surpassed her battle strength with Strength Will, she was not to be trifled with. Strength Essence rippled outwards from her as she joined Lu Zheng to fight Makato.
Makato was greatly pressed that he could only focus on defending. Soon, a loophole formed in his defence.
Yu Er Dan turned many times in the air before landing a kick with great force that Makato had to defend with his two arms crossed across each other. His arms shook as Yu Er Dan turned again and landed another kick.
She kicked many times before finally falling to the ground. The moment her legs touched the ground, she bent and swept with her left leg.
"Hmm!" Makato predicted it with his Togan and jumped only for Lu Zheng to appear above him. A red aura enveloped his body as ice Essence was expended. A sharp icicle formed around his hands like knives and daggers.
Makato did not see it coming until the very last moment. The icicles were already extending into his eyes as he watched. Time seemed to have paused as Lu Zheng made a final push.
Makato could not dodge it at all.
"Peng!"
The sound of metal striking metal resounded as Makato's gaze widened. He thought he was already dead when a grand bone shield formed above his head.
"Kyosuke!" Makato was beyond overjoyed when he saw the man behind him. He knew he would have surely died if Kyosuke had not interfered.
Kyosuke cocked his head and chuckled: "It seems to me that you are having much fun. Can I join?"
Lu Zheng's body was flowing with great aura as Strength Will filled every fibre of his body. Every cell, tissue and muscle in his body was inclined to one thought.
"Fight!"
He did not study Makato much before using his methods. Soon, both men fought bravely in the air.
Kyosuke was stronger than Makato by a margin and was at the second tier of Original realm. The battle strength he wielded was far beyond Lu Zheng.
Yet, First's methods were not simple. Strength Will adjusted and the red aura burnt even more fervently. Lu Zheng was like a glowing red lantern as he fought Kyosuke.
Thunder suddenly boomed in the air and a blazing thunderbolt formed in Lu Zheng's hands. It was azure and was cloaked with great crimson flames.
It was the Azure Thunderbolt!
The thunderbolt arced under Lu Zheng's control and struck Kyosuke. It boomed inside him as fire burnt wildly on his body.
His body charred and he withdrew. He turned to face Makato but was disappointed to see the man fighting Yu Er Dan. Makato was too busy to provide help for him.
"But…" Kyosuke's veins popped and throbbed from his forehead as he bore the pain of being burnt by the Vermillion True Flame. His cultivation base was far superior to Lu Zheng's. He could not be killed easily by the Mystical Flame unique to the Vermillion Bird Race.
Kyosuke continued to speak as his eyes glistened and shimmered: "The Danna Chaotic Fruit is finally secured"
Lu Zheng followed his gaze and soon understood.
Kumiko smiled as sweat beads dropped from her face. She knew this was the very last moment in retrieving the Danna Chaotic Fruit and it was also the most precarious. She made sure to not slip up.
The green vines that held the Danna Chaotic Fruit dried and withered as the Danna Chaotic Fruit shined brightly with a bright light. The golden mandalas [1] that formed around her shimmered brightly.
"Yes!" Doan smiled as he watched Kumiko. The Danna Chaotic Fruit floated to her hands but she ensured not to touch it. The golden mandalas bound the Danna Chaotic Fruit and became golden imprints on its body.
It looked like a divine fruit birthed by the heavens itself.
"Truly impressive" A cold voice sounded in the sky that made everyone to freeze up at once.
