Lu Zheng flew slowly through the cold air of the secret realm layer. He had already recovered from the previous battle.
So far, he hadn't come in contact with any other person, or even any other lifeform. All he saw was endless ice.
It didn't take too long for someone to end Lu Zheng's solitude.
A tall and slender female with a petite face soon entered the range of his Sea of Consciousness.
From her aura, Lu Zheng could tell she was at the first tier of Void Passage realm.
Lu Zheng was still debating on whether to run or stay when he noticed that she had already detected him.
What was more was that she was moving swiftly towards him.
"Ah? Small fry made their way here?" Thea, the woman muttered to herself.
Licking her lips, a choking wave of killing intent gushed from within her.
Lu Zheng suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe again.
The killing intent from Thea also had a hint of bloodthirst.
It was evident that she had just killed some martial practitioners.
Fear dawned on Lu Zheng's face as sweat beads formed.
Thea was like a beautiful rose which had poisonous thorns. She wasn't something one could touch.
Thea fixed her gaze on Lu Zheng and smiled as she pointed at him.
In an instant, sword light flew from her fingertips and pierced his shoulder.
Despite the fact that Lu Zheng had tempered his physical body numerous times, the sword light flew through his shoulder unobstructed.
Fresh blood poured slowly from the hole as the hole regenerated.
The killing intent that gushed from Thea was enough to leave Lu Zheng who had strong will power immobile.
Lu Zheng soon felt severe discomfort. His skin felt like it was infinitely close to being cut into strings.
His instincts told him that the woman before him was well accomplished in sword path.
"Tehehe. Look at that face, you must be scared shitless. Is my sword intent too sharp for you?" Thea's gaze was still on Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath to calm his senses, lightning curved around his body as thunder boomed from within him.
The thunder that boomed from his insides reinforced his skin.
In a flash, Lu Zheng unsheathed Mei Luan and began to fight Thea.
Thea didn't use a sword but many sword lights gushed from her body that intended to cut Lu Zheng to pieces.
Whenever both of them clashed and Lu Zheng struck Thea with Mei Luan, the dull sound of two swords striking each other would reverberate.
It felt like Lu Zheng was fighting against a humanoid sword.
After a few bouts, both sides paused.
Lu Zheng's body was bathed in blood due to the numerous cuts and holes that riddled his body.
On the other hand, Thea still looked better other than the small bruises she had and her cut cloth.
Lu Zheng was unable to urge his bloodline at the moment since his bloodline power was still very low.
It would require a good rest before he could use it again.
"You're not a bad swordsman. You've been able to avoid cuts at vital parts of your body. Sadly for you, you met me" Thea said with a narcissistic tone.
However, just as she was about to attack Lu Zheng, the latter sheathed his sword.
Qi spiked from him as lightning bathed his skin.
His black hair flew wildly mid-air as lightning bolts swam in his eyes.
The sudden change in Lu Zheng surprised Themur and she immediately took a defensive stance.
Lu Zheng's energy levels were shooting to the brim and just when Thea thought he would attack, he ran away.
He ran away at such a speed that within a few breaths of time, he was only a tiny dot to Thea.
Thea was extremely stunned, she did not expect Lu Zheng to build up such an amount of energy only to use it to run away.
She was shocked beyond words.
At this point, it would be pointless to chase after him. Even with her god-like realm-given eyesight, she couldn't see him again.
It was not like she held a grudge against Lu Zheng.
She chuckled lightly before turning to leave: "What a weird guy"
