The cold voice that shouted caught the group of four's attention and stopped them in their tracks.
When they turned back, they recognised the owner of the voice as Keanu. Beside him were three other men.
One of the other men had short brown hair and a sharp gaze. He stared at Lu Zheng coldly and said: "I take it that you're the one that humiliated Keanu"
"So what if I was? What are you going to do about it?" Lu Zheng asked unhurriedly. He was unfazed by the man.
"See, he is very arrogant. That bitch Lannah must've been getting it with him throughout the day. They were all over the place in the trade hub!" Keanu shouted and cussed.
Lannah's face became downcast but she did not dare speak up. The fear of the Sea Fish Cult was ingrained in her soul.
"Trade hub?" Another man muttered with a vicious smile. A cruel thought crept into his mind.
"No one humiliates a member of the Sea Fish Cult and gets away with it" The brown haired man said as he released his aura.
He was at the peak of the Domain Formation realm.
"Brothers stay back, I alone am enough to deal with him" The brown haired man continued.
"Be careful, Olean" The others said.
"Come face me like a man" Olean harrumphed walking towards Lu Zheng's group as a long dark staff appeared in his hands.
Lu Zheng sensed Olean's third tier of Domain Formation realm aura and knew that he was very strong.
"You can only blame yourself" Lu Zheng did not hold back as he directly used his bloodline causing his physical appearance to change.
His hair turned scarlet red and his eyes became the deepest tinge of red. Columns of fire could be seen revolving around him.
"So strong" Themur praised inwardly.
Olean noticed Lu Zheng's change but did not think much of it. He was not scared of a martial warrior a tier below him.
Thrusting the staff in his hands at Lu Zheng, Olean made afterimages of the staff to form.
The afterimages all closed down on Lu Zheng and he was unable to tell which the real one was.
"Hmph!" Lu Zheng snorted as he slapped the afterimages before him with the back of his hand.
Peng~!
The dull sound of metal striking metal resounded as all the afterimages disappeared and the dark staff in Olean's hands vibrated vigorously.
Olean's eyes widened in shock at what Lu Zheng had just done.
With his staff, Olean could easily destroy rocks and yet, Lu Zheng and slapped it aside with his bare hand and succeeded without any injuries.
It was hard to believe such a thing was possible.
"I'll end this quickly" Lu Zheng controlled his breathing as two drops of Vermillion Blood rose from his body and transformed into vermillion Fire Dragons.
The Fire Dragons made inaudible roars before descending on Olean.
Olean knew that he had underestimated Lu Zheng and focused, moving his staff rapidly.
The dark staff made a flurry of afterimages as it struck the Fire Dragons but they didn't seem to receive considerable damage.
In fact, Olean's dark staff was turning red by the second.
Soon, it was too hot for him to even hold.
The dark staff's tip was already disfigured by the Vermillion True Flame the Fire Dragons were made of.
"Die" Lu Zheng commanded the Fire Dragons to descend upon Olean and tear him apart.
"Olean!" The other two men were shocked by the turn of events and quickly made attempts to save him.
However, Lu Zheng had one of the Fire Dragons repel their attacks. Olean immediately succumbed to the other Fire Dragon and died.
"Strong" Lannah muttered. Lu Zheng had just beaten a martial warrior one tier above him like it was nothing.
Although it was just one tier, the difference in strength was huge. It wasn't what one could ignore.
Yet Lu Zheng had just done it.
Of course, it was mainly because of the Vermillion Bird Race's bloodline that he was able to perform such a feat.
Hong Haoyu stared keenly at Lu Zheng who was still covered in columns of fire.
Even as he was at the Sky realm, he was sensing a strong threat from the fires that surrounded Lu Zheng.
"That flame… cannot be a Human Flame" Hong Haoyu noted mentally.
"You will pay!" The two men shouted after killing the Fire Dragons.
As they approached Lu Zheng, their auras overwhelmed the surroundings and their Domains were revealed.
They were also at the peak of Domain Formation realm.
Hong Haoyu was just about to intervene when he noticed something odd about Lu Zheng.
"His strength is still increasing!"
