While Heaven had faced opponents who were unafraid of death, it was rare for him to come across someone who used his entire body as a weapon and treated death with such a calm attitude. This was definitely impossible with insufficient training, yet this was merely a Huang Grade student.
It must be said that for whatever reason, Heaven's past memories would always remain deeply etched in his mind wherever he went.
Heaven's Ability X erupted and lifted Wang Zheng up. Despite this, Wang Zheng's hand remained firmly latched onto Heaven. Unless Heaven's arm was broken, he would never be able to break free. Wang Zheng was fully aware of the discrepancy in power when it came to their Ability Xs. Up to this point of time, Heaven was basically relying only on body technique to engage him in pure physical combat without using any wood element abilities yet.
Bang...
Heaven's entire body shimmered with blinding light. In this moment Wang Zheng body felt like it was being struck by a million Ford's worth of high-voltage electric shocks. His body weakened quickly and if not for the Primordial Regression Technique's strong defensive capabilities, he would have been utterly defeated.
Wang Zheng was flung away. Heaven tested his arm out. His left arm had already been split open and his bones were exposed. What a crazy kid. When Heaven was a kid, he definitely did not have even half the tenacity of this opponent of his.
Wang Zheng tumbled over numerous times after being thrown to the ground. He attempted to get back on his feet as Heaven fixed his hair."If I were you, I would just quietly lie down now. In this world, the lives of others are nothing compared to our own."
Wang Zheng stood up quickly. He was in a wreck, but his face still held a slight smile."Some people remain alive even after dying. Others continue to live, but living on is no different from dying to them."
While Old Zhuo had already passed away, he would continue to live on in Wang Zheng's heart. Wang Zheng would continue to spread Old Zhuo's ideals, much like how Old Zhuo stayed alive for his comrade's sake.
Heaven's expression faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered."I'll satisfy your wishes to your heart's content, and will send your friends to join you soon after."
A flash of lightning bolted towards Wang Zheng and he hurriedly dodged it. The ground where he stood before was charred black and the heavy stench of rot emitted from it. Wang Zheng knew where such speed came from. The ability to use such devastating lightning while preaching at people - unfortunately this could only have been due to the use of wood element powers. Such power was both terrifying and unpredictable. Wood element powers were definitely not simply restricted to the manipulation of wind.
This was an Earth Grade expert indeed. Wang Zheng was careful never to underestimate them. When it came to body technique, their standards could not match up to him, but when it came to Ability X, there was definitely no leeway allowed.
Crash... Boom... Bang...
After dodging several lightning bolts in succession, Wang Zheng was finally struck by one. This was immediately followed by the venom that started to pool near his feet. While it was known as a venom, this was in fact a technique that was considered an absorption ability within the wood element. This was a rather high-level technique as well.
This was similar to the one used on the Titan. However, the Titan was a symbol of life, whereas Wang Zheng was a mere human. Such an absorption ability was enough to wipe him out if he was struck.
Heaven was stunned for a moment. He did not actually intend to kill his opponent, but sometimes things did not go the way he intended. The sentimental version of himself was long dead - all that remained was an assassin without a past.
It was time to settle this matter once and for all.
Just as Heaven was preparing to leave, his body suddenly froze, ... how was this possible?
While Wang Zheng was caught up in this duel to death, a huge incident was occuring back at Menlo City. An assassin was unexpectedly attempting to assassinate Governor Mu Sen. Security was indeed far too poor at the event, so the assassin was in fact able to effortlessly blend in with the crowd. The entire hall was in a state of disarray. Almost everyone at the venue was a person of importance so they naturally had their own bodyguards, but there was insufficient distance between them. This assassin was skillful indeed and appeared out of thin air. What originally seemed like an ordinary flower vase suddenly became an assassin in the blink of an eye.
Mu Sen was almost within reach - in two more seconds, he would be reduced to a corpse!
This assassin even possessed shapeshifting abilities.
The assassin's body came to a halt in mid-air - a force-field ability was stopping him!
The assassin, codenamed Black Widow, held a frozen expression. He had no time to waste - once the chaos was controlled, he would be trapped in a dead end for sure. Before that happened, he had to kill Mu Sen.
The countless threads in the assassin's hands enveloped towards Mu Sen, but a beautiful lady appeared to block his path.
The custom-made steel threads continued forward. If they were to tie her up, the beauty would be sliced into pieces instantly.
Splash...
The steel threads did not latch onto her, but were blocked by an invisible forcefield instead. At this moment Black Widow realised that his chance was gone, so he retreated immediately.
However with a loud crash...
Half the... hall... collapsed.
Amidst the complete chaos and confusion of the situation, Achilles escorted Mu Sen out. This could not be helped - Lie Xin's harboured an overwhelming amount of murderous energy within her heart.
The Lie Flame Technique was far more terrifying than imagined. Legend had it that the Lie Flame Technique was the strongest offensive technique among the traditional techniques of the Solar System. In the past the technique was already know to be very effective in dealing with various different races. After all, Mars was the main battlefield upon which humans waged war against the Zerg.
That assassin was of a lower standard than Earth Grade. He was at around the same level as the two were previously, with perhaps slightly sharper skills in niche abilities like shapeshifting and thread control. However, Lie Xin's abilities were a little too astonishing for him to handle. In that moment of attack, she was practically a rocket launcher. From the moment she started to use her abilities, Achilles knew that this woman's true goal was not to target the assassin, but purely to vent her anger instead.
The assassin was engulfed by flames in a flash, and even cracked open half the conference hall.
She was practically a female T-Rex.
Achilles did not really care. His sole duty was to protect Mu Sen. This time Wang Zheng owed him a huge favour. Even if people from the Moon did not really care about owing favors, they had to be remembered when it came to Wang Zheng.
Once the ashes scattered away, a group of police and giants gathered around the area. The situation had calmed down and only Lie Xin was left. She really wished that the steel threads had shredded her into pieces instead. Achilles should have minded his own business.
Lie Xin glared at Achilles angrily. A certain someone seemed to assume that he was innocent in not letting Lie Xin be able to die.
Lie Xin snorted in anger and turned around to leave. Someone tried to stop her, but Mu Sen quickly gestured to let her pass. This was the first time that such a terrifying flame technique was witnessed on Tita Star.
This woman's temper was at its peak. Mu Sen had been close enough to sense that rather than wanting to kill the assassin, she seemed to wish that the assassin had killed her instead.
Her intentions could not be hidden from the wise ones. The giants and people from the Lan family had arrived to blockade off the scene. The next step was to investigate the incident thoroughly. However, Mu Sen had already sensed that the assassin was not that skilled, and was definitely not the same person who had ambushed Rara Durai. At this point in time, Mu Sen could not help but worry about Wang Zheng.
On the other hand, there was some trouble at Lan Ling's side as well. However, it was more of a joke than a serious matter. Someone actually faked a bomb threat at the venue in order to attempt to create some chaos. But this was child's play and Ye Zisu remained calm. She was never worried about Lan Ling's venue. All she could think about now was Wang Zheng's side. She originally wanted to be with the people of Tita together with Yan Xiaosu, but Wang Zheng instructed her to come here instead. Ye Zisu was reluctant, but she was willing to listen to Wang Zheng's orders. During the entire meeting her thoughts were elsewhere, and others may have thought that this was because Miss Ye was afraid. In actuality, Ye Zisu had more guts than most of the people present.
Never underestimate a persistent woman's courage.
They were perfectly prepared, but if anything were to happen to Wang Zheng and Rara Durai, this would be akin to spoiling the ship for a half penny worth of a tar.
