C248 Failure

The surroundings were completely silent. Zheng Lei tightly gripped the karmic ruler and quietly lowered his head to look. He saw that the karmic ruler had shrunk to less than a third of the original golden light.

"These are all lives." Zheng Lei glanced at the karmic ruler and sighed in his heart. Although he felt that it was a pity, his hands did not stop moving.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's long sword coming at him, Zheng Lei moved his body and dodged it. He then activated the Sticky Character Formula and placed the karmic ruler on the long sword, borrowing the force to drag it to the side.

Jiang Cheng used his sword as an old man. Being surrounded by Zheng Lei, he couldn't help but follow Zheng Lei's hand and take two steps forward. Zheng Lei was overjoyed and continued to exert his strength. Unexpectedly, the long sword actually extended itself towards him.

Zheng Lei was shocked, he knew Jiang Cheng had gotten rid of his Sticky Character Formula and was about to withdraw his hand, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be a huge force coming from the sword. Zheng Lei was sent flying by this force and crashed into the broken wall.

"Cough, cough!" Zheng Lei stood up, but his inner breathing was still rolling violently.

"Hahaha … boy, this is great, isn't it? Your father's many days of practice were not wasted! In the face of absolute strength, every move is futile! " Jiang Cheng said arrogantly.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng still wanted to say something, his face suddenly turned red. It seemed that his inner breathing was not stable. He must have been in too much of a hurry to raise his cultivation and cause internal injuries due to his unstable foundation.

Zheng Lei cautiously looked at Jiang Cheng and thought, "Why is this guy here at this time?" From the looks of it, he was clearly in a hurry. At this time, he should have been staying in his old home. How come he came here?

After thinking for a while, Zheng Lei suddenly thought of something and felt relieved. Looking at Jiang Cheng in front of him, he didn't feel like he was that hard to deal with.

Jiang Cheng must have received some information before he hurried over. However, he was not completely prepared for it, as he was only suitable to end the battle quickly. That was why he had used his full strength right from the start.

Zheng Lei had grasped this point and was able to calm down. In today's battle, as long as he could persevere, he would have the opportunity to finish off Jiang Cheng.

Just as he was thinking about Jiang Cheng's situation, Jiang Cheng's figure suddenly disappeared from in front of Zheng Lei's eyes. At the same time, Zheng Lei felt that something was coming towards him. He did not hesitate to roll to the side and dodged Jiang Cheng's attack.

So fast! The more Jiang Cheng was like this, the more relaxed Zheng Lei was. The more urgent the attack, the more he would be unable to last for too long.

After dodging Jiang Cheng's attack, Zheng Lei's left hand that had been preparing for a long time suddenly struck out with the Five Thunder Arts. Immediately, a thick pillar of lightning shot out from his hand towards Jiang Cheng.

The speed of the thunderbolt was already very fast, but Jiang Cheng's speed was faster than Zheng Lei's thunderbolt. Although it had happened so suddenly, Jiang Cheng hadn't received any damage.

Zheng Lei instinctively felt a chill on his neck. The long sword in Jiang Cheng's hand was placed against his neck. Immediately, Zheng Lei didn't dare to move an inch.

"Kid, you are still far from being able to compete with me in speed!" Jiang Cheng said with a ferocious expression.

"Mm, consider me Zheng Lei. If you have the ability, then kill me now. Otherwise, as long as I turn my body over, I won't forgive you!" Zheng Lei said coldly.

"Don't worry, I will fulfill your wish!" Jiang Cheng said proudly.

Zheng Lei coldly looked at him and turned his head to the side. He had been too careless today. He hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to be stronger than him in cultivation. It could be said that he had pushed himself onto a path of no return.

"Kid!" "Where's my dad?" Jiang Cheng said viciously.

Hehe, as expected, you are here to look for Father. Zheng Lei thought.

"Why did you find me? I'm not your father! " Although Zheng Lei was defeated, he was not willing to lose on the surface.

"Humph!" "Don't think that I can't do anything to you if you don't tell me. Let me tell you, I have plenty of ways to make you say it!" Jiang Cheng said as he put his face close to Zheng Lei's.

Zheng Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Come! If you have the ability, then do me now! What? Scared? Don't dare to? I'm telling you, your father is locked up here with your father. Without me, your father will never come out! "

Jiang Cheng's eyes were bloodshot from anger. He patted Zheng Lei's face and said fiercely, "Brat, are you going to hand it over or not?"

"If I don't hand it over, what can you do to me? Come on, even if I'm afraid of death, I won't castrate you! "

"You're courting death!" Jiang Cheng was so angry that he could not stop his palm from piercing into Zheng Lei's stomach. He seemed to have grabbed onto something. The intense pain almost made Zheng Lei faint.

"Hehe, this is great. If you have the ability, do it again!" Zheng Lei said while trembling.

At this moment, Zheng Lei suddenly smelled a faint fragrance and his head dropped. When he looked at Jiang Cheng again, his expression also froze.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Lei heard a sharp piercing sound. Then, Jiang Cheng's hand that had stabbed into Zheng Lei's stomach suddenly retracted, covering his shoulder, and with a whoosh, he retreated a few steps back.

Jiang Cheng looked around cautiously but didn't see anyone. His expression changed as he lowered his head to look at his shoulder and continued walking towards Zheng Lei.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng's body froze as if he had seen a shocking scene.

Zheng Lei held onto his wounded stomach. When he saw Jiang Cheng staring at him blankly, he suddenly felt that something wasn't right. He immediately looked behind him and saw that Lin Xi had appeared behind him without him realizing.

"Don't move!" Lin Xi said softly, not putting Jiang Cheng in her eyes at all.

Lin Xi pressed one of her hands lightly on Zheng Lei's back. A warm current flowed out from her palm and quickly healed his injured internal organs.

Her other hand was not idle either as she took out a pill and stuffed it into Zheng Lei's mouth.

The pill was like a stream of gas, Zheng Lei couldn't even feel the essence of it.

Jiang Cheng looked around him. He also couldn't see through Lin Xi's cultivation level. He knew that he had met a big enemy and that he had failed today's incident. He made a simple investigation and ran to the side.

"Are you leaving?" Lin Xi said without even raising her head. As she said that, she gently lifted her hand, and a golden needle flew out, instantly piercing through Jiang Cheng's leg. She then arced and flew back into her hand.

With a plop, Jiang Cheng fell to his knees. His forehead was already covered in sweat, and it was unknown if it was due to fear or pain.

The arrival of the reinforcements allowed Zheng Lei to instantly relax. In an instant, he lost his strength and weakly sat down.
