Lust, Like Vengeance, Demands Red

The thoughts flashed through Zhi Rui"s mind like lightning.

She expected him to have some leftovers cores from the light sect, but that muscle reinforcement ability, together with the bone ability. was something rare and expansive. Individually they are powerful enough, together they are Almost unbeatable on the same level.

Zhi Rui smiled
"I didn"t expect you"d have such nice things. Have you been seducing some neglected wives? Or it was a present from the woman who put that beautiful green hat on your head?"

Cheng Feng only smirked.

Zhi Rui couldn"t feel even a twitch of anger from him, he was not bothered In the least.

The man sighed. "You might be talented, but you"re still a greenhorn, that kind of cheap obvious provocation is beyond ridiculous."

"You"re such a happy cuckold. Did you know? neither I nor Zheng Li is yours. In the end, that woman excluded you as man and chose the emperor"s seed."

Finally, Zhi Rui could feel a tug of malice in his chest.

"He"s hard to influence but not immune." She concluded.

Cheng Feng couldn"t help but admire the visage of Zhi Rui standing in the middle of the sky with her swaying blonde hair looking down on him like a G.o.ddess. It reminded him of Bianca.

Except, Bianca was plainly malevolent and playful, but this daughter of his. had something else to her...

He took that thought out of his mind and focused on the battle.
"She can"t beat me in physical combat but that annoying ability of hers gives her absolute mobility anywhere."

They stood facing each other one in the sky another on the ground, the morning sunrays shone in their midst.

"He has that ability he used on the carriage to move and leave an image of himself, the mammoth"s bones, and the muscle reinforcement. There"s only one he didn"t use yet..."

But even though she was uncovering his abilities the issue pressing her mind was how to cause damage. She knew he was only stalling because he was trying to figure another way to get to her without relentless jumping around, but once he realizes there isn"t another way, it"ll be she running and him hunting.

Suddenly Zhi Rui could feel it inside her core. Her energy turned to a stronger red.

She felt the strand she interlinked with her subordinates through the parasitic ability. And as she thought. Izaya started his fun with the slaves as planned.

Zhi Rui proactively shared of his pleasure, and her own energy turned denser from the light red from before now it was wine color. her strength rose to a fifty percent stronger.

Remembering his stamina she had at least one hour before he climaxed.

They face each other for a solid five minutes.

"Planned enough?" Cheng Feng asked. "Because I"m done." He said and walked away, with total disinterest.

His receding back and totally relaxed demeanor shook her out of her head and slammed something she hadn"t accounted. She was the one pursuing him, he"s the one running. if she didn"t want to go to the ground and face him, he could simply walk away as he first planned.

She laughed.

"Oh, You see, I don"t know your abilities and skills, besides physical battle you showed n.o.body anything, ever. I was hesitating about fighting you, but I had a pledge to keep and if you ran away I wouldn"t be able to do it. And as Father knows it too, even a beggar has to protect the value of his words otherwise n.o.body would give him food. "

"You finally decide to come then?" He asked.

Zhi Rui laughed ominously and bolted down.

"YES!"

She was looking a the relaxed back still walking away, but when she reached the height of the treetops

A bright light shone to her left and she laughed.

He used his first ability to create and image.

; thump!

A tree exploded but Zhi Rui had already leaped in another direction.

Cheng Fen snorted and followed, every time he was about to catch her she would abruptly change directions. His own momentum didn"t allow him for a sudden turn.

Zhi Rui grabbed every chance to punch him in the back slightly under the ribcage, she did it over and over in the same place his inner organs were suffering damage little by little.

She jumped from tree to materialized energy to another tree. he repeatedly missed and she felt the frustration building upon him.

His Face turned somberly stern. She knew it was the right timing.

Zhi Rui leaped away again but this time faked a slip on the foot and went behind a tree.

The general"s pressure exploded

"AAARH!" he punched through a thin tree.

He saw through the flying splinters, Zhi Rui was awaiting with an arched back holding a heavy hammer oozing red, raw power. her muscles were visibly contracted, with the exception of her broken leg, Her whole body exuded absolute power.

His eyes contracted.

"HA!" Zhi Rui released her breath with a swing downwards. The air around the hammer burned.

Before he could react Zhi Rui had activated her second ability and stunned a soldier that was still around the carriage"s vicinity.

Through the thread she linked on Cheng Feng, She transferred the emotions. For a fraction of a second, his eyes were frozen.

Her tests to see if it was possible to provoke him in battle was for this moment. without time to defend himself, the hammer came down hard.

It hit the side top of his head and slid down his temple tearing his ear off and smashed his shoulder.
The hammer shoved inside the skin and the shock traveled through the rest of his inner torso. He was midair charging with strength. he received his own strength plus Zhi Rui"s as damage without any form of defense.

Zhi Rui stumbled backward and leaned on a tree her eyes were squinting. She knew it would kill anyone else on the fourth level, but he was a monster. She kept her guard up while building strength for a finis.h.i.+ng blow.

The reason why she used blunt heavy weapons was because of that, regardless if the enemy defended or not, the damage would still be done, eventually wearing the enemy out.

she breathed roughly while Cheng Feng stood in place with a blank look. His cut off ears were bleeding still. His shoulder was caved in badly. His legs were visibly trembling as it ould hold the body together anymore.

He fell down with a thud.

Cold sweat started forming, his skin grew pale due to internal bleeding.

Feeling no emotion whatsoever in him Zhi Rui judged he was unconscious and sighed. She got up relaxed and walked towards him, ready to crush his inner spirit and torture him to death.

Thumpft!

Her eyes widened and she saw blur for a moment,the impact on her abdomen shook everything inside, her feet were taken off the ground. she was flying up.

She could only see Cheng Feng"s smug smirk.

"Girlie, that was nice damage." He raised his open hand and his eyes shone bright golden. "Come down to papa!" He closed his hands hard

A golden s.h.i.+eld crushed Zhi Rui down.

"I didn"t show my last ability, right? Allow me."

From his hand, a blade of light the size of a two-handed long sword formed from his hands t was a blindingly white.

It looked like it could burn through everything.

As Zhi Rui fell he spoke, "This is the cheap skill given by the lights as a gift, like you, I prefer blunt damage but something like this... its nice for surprises."

Zhi Rui was coming down fast, there was nothing else she could do. she gritted her teeth and did the necessary.

She materialized her energy in front of her,

Her body tore through it, damaging herself and causing backlash for the broken ability, but it slowed her down.

Cheng Feng laughed and extended his sword upwards it extended two meters more, just enough to tore through Zhi Rui.

Her eyes burned with undying resentment.

She tried to stun him again but for some reasons, the soldiers were not alive anymore. She materialized her energy again.

And managed to direct the blade with her hands. it pierced her left lung. and traversed all the way out of her back.

The smell of burnt flesh came to her nostrils.

Cheng Feng looked with gusto as she coughed blood she lowered the blade and Zhi Rui that was pinned on it in front of him to his amazement she stood on her feet.

His smirked suddenly disappeared from his face. Zhi Rui"s eyes became dark red, with triple the energy of before he didn"t know how but her energy suddenly tripled in power and density.

Her hammer landed on her hand again. she had used her materialized energy to catch it and raise it high.

"To think you"d be a quick shooter today Izaya!" She thought

Cheng Feng trembled. He was resilient, but the damage he received was real, if anything similar to before landed on him it would take his life away.

He pulled his hand back and swung the blade of light towards her hand holding the hammer.

A weightless light blade is faster than a heavy hammer, that"s common sense.

But his eyes widened in horror. The hand that was high in the air opened before the blade came and the hammer fell down on the other hand.

He was midswing and cut her empty forearms off.

Zhi Rui had her legs and was in a ready stance. the hammer came from the ground on an upwards swing. it would sweep him off his feet and finish to crush his innards without a doubt.

"s.l.u.t!" He raged and swung his arm with the remaining energy left on him. "WE"RE BOTH GOING TO h.e.l.l!"

Both their attacks met. blood and meat splattered all over, like fireworks, bones meats and innards flew and covered everything. Around them

Zhi Rui stood with widened eyes, covered in gore.

In front of her, Cheng Feng had the same look.

She could feel the bones around, there was enough to form three people.

*Twuck!*

The sound of metal cutting through meat echoed.

She looked at Cheng Feng that now had a spearhead through his chest. He guffawed and gagged with blood on his mouth.

"Fzhen-L-L-Li-" He didn" finish as life left his eyes and he fell down.

From behind his huge frame, a pale white sharp and cold looking young man stared down at Zhi Rui.

He was wearing white and black armor. holding a grim looking book on his arm. She couldn"t feel his presence.

He walked forward and stepped on Cheng Feng"s body.

His eyes were black as the lightless night. Nothing reflected on it.

Zhi Rui, with half of her bones broken, missing an arm and covered in gore, couldn"t help but have her heart fluttering with b.u.t.terflies at the sight of Zheng Li

"He looks like a knight of death."

From underneath his feet, black shadows gathered on the body of Cheng Feng.

"You lived like you wanted father, now, even though I find you pathetic, I still have use for you as my first real servant." Zheng Li said.

He took his feet off and Cheng Feng stood up as an undead.

Zhi Rui looked around and the soldiers that followed Cheng Feng were now simple brainless undead.

Zheng Li waved his hand, with the exception of Cheng Feng, they all fell down.

She understood now where the three bodies came from.

She looked at him with trembling, almost tearing eyes

"Why?" She asked.
