Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 838 Victory or Loss
"Li Zheng won."

Zhan Zhouzhou spoke, her tone cold: "If the Smurfs can't come up with any more trump cards, and Li Zheng continues to wear him down like this, the Smurfs will be worn down to death."

Their current level is vastly different from when they first entered the Matrix. Back then, they were just ordinary humans, at most agile and knowing a few martial arts moves.

Now, they can easily unleash powerful punches and sword strikes, having long since transcended the level of "human" and gradually developed towards the direction of "gods," with their horizons becoming increasingly broad.

Zhan Zhouzhou was one of the best among them; after observing for a while, she could tell who had the advantage between Li Zheng and Zui Xiexiao.

The moment Li Zheng's eyes changed, even Zhan Zhouzhou felt the pores on her body expand violently, giving her a chilling feeling.

In this state, she had no doubt that Li Zheng could easily take her life.

"Is this the Formless Body that Yan Bujin mentioned?" Zhan Zhouzhou thought to himself, "It does have its unique features, but its weaknesses are also obvious. As long as we defeat Li Zheng before he enters his current state and make him lose his ability to fight, we can break this killing move."

Zhan Zhouzhou thought that Li Zheng needed time to prepare to enter his current state, but little did she know that Li Zheng had already practiced enough to instantly "enter the Dao," and the so-called flaws no longer existed.

Unless Li Zheng can be killed the moment they meet, it is impossible to stop him from entering the "entering the Dao" state.

Over there, Zui Xie Xiao was locked in a fierce battle. Li Zheng's stamina seemed inexhaustible, and he split into eight figures that continuously attacked Zui Xie Xiao, each time striking when Zui Xie Xiao had to defend himself.

Each time Zui Xie Xiao tried to defend himself, he could only shatter one of the clones. The feeling of having no way to use his strength drove him almost crazy.

"Is this the only way you can fight? You can only rely on these evil tricks!" Drunken Evil Xiao brandished his Black Dragon Spear, creating an impenetrable barrier of spear shadows around him, and challenged, "If you're so capable, fight me face to face!"

Unfortunately, after Li Zheng "entered the Dao", he lost his subjective consciousness and relied entirely on instinct in battle. All the abilities he possessed would be brought to their strongest state at this moment. As long as he could defeat his opponent, he could use even the most despicable moves and would never be swayed by words.

"Humph!"

A fierce glint flashed in Zui Xiexiao's eyes: "Since you have no martial ethics, then don't blame me!"

Sing the battle song!
Zui Xie Xiao opened his mouth and hummed the unique war song melody of the Tianlong clan. His aura surged, his blood boiled, and the muscles on his arm gripping the Black Dragon Spear bulged, full of explosive power.

boom!
The Black Dragon Spear suddenly trembled, and eight streams of energy emanated from the surrounding space, spreading outwards in layers.

The figure that Li Zheng split off from was instantly shattered upon touching the Dao energy.

puff!
A true form appeared, its chest caved in, it opened its mouth and spat out blood, then flew backward.

"Where to run!"

Drunkard Xiao stepped forward, chasing after Li Zheng in mid-air, his spear tip pointing forward, aiming straight for Li Zheng's vital heart.

"Old Li!" Fengshan exclaimed in surprise, and stomped his foot to rush over and help.

"Don't move." Zhan Zhouzhou pressed him down with one hand and said calmly, "It's too late to go anyway."

Lu Li calmly said, "I feel that Li Zheng still has a backup plan. Let's wait and see."

Before he could finish speaking, Zui Xiexiao's attack was already right in front of Li Zheng.

Just as it seemed that Li Zheng's heart was about to be pierced, his empty hand suddenly clenched.

A sudden panic gripped Zui Xie Xiao'er's heart; a life-or-death threat enveloped his entire being.

And that sense of threat came from... "Below!"

As Zui Xiexiao lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a fiery red streak shooting into the sky. The scalding magma washed over his body. Even with his extremely high defense, the continuous washing over the magma and the intense heat penetrating his body still caused him severe damage.

"Oops!"

Zui Xiexiao took a step to the side, trying to rush out of the area covered by lava. However, the lava contained a strange power, as if it had turned into super glue, with a strong damping effect. For a moment, he was unable to move!

These are not ordinary magma; they have been amplified by Li Zheng's genetic abilities, and their temperature has increased several times over.

If he can't break through quickly, he'll soon be roasted by the lava, or even turned into charcoal.

"I surrender!"

As his body temperature rose higher and higher, Zui Xie Xiao shouted out words of surrender.

Immediately afterwards, the magma cooled instantly, from a temperature of several thousand degrees to a temperature of around thirty degrees, as if it were surrounded by warm water.

The viscous lava slowly flowed down its original path, revealing Zui Xiexiao, whose skin was blue with a hint of purple. He looked like a roasted shrimp, and his face was extremely ugly.

Li Zheng took out several bottles of medicine, drank half of it himself, and threw the other half to Zui Xie Xiao: "I know you didn't go all out, but I didn't kill you either, so how about we call it a draw?"

"No, you win." Zui Xiexiao caught the potions, tilted his head back and drank them all down. The effects of the medicine quickly took hold, and the discomfort in his body gradually subsided.

"Here, it's yours." Li Zheng raised his hand and threw the Black Dragon Spear over as well.

Zui Xie Xiao caught the Black Dragon Spear, surprised: "You... just gave it to me like that?"

The two were fighting over the ownership of the Black Dragon Spear just a moment ago, but now Li Zheng has casually given it to him?
This caught Zui Xie Xiao off guard for a moment.

"Don't misunderstand." Li Zheng shook his head, and Lei Yi behind him moved slightly, flying towards the edge of the volcano, with Zui Xie Xiao stepping on the air beside him.

"The Black Dragon Spear isn't given to you for free; you'll have to pay a price."

Zui Xie Xiao then understood: "How much do you want? Just tell me."

"money?"

Li Zheng smiled faintly: "To be honest, although I've only been in the outer city for a few months, money no longer holds any allure for me. What I want, you can afford, it just depends on whether you're willing to give it."

Zui Xiexiao paused in his tracks: "You want the inheritance of my Heavenly Dragon Clan?"

Li Zheng turned around and said, "I've heard about the deeds of the Heavenly Dragon Clan. You should be the only surviving member left. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the Heavenly Dragon Clan's lineage after you die?"

Of course, Zui Xie Xiao had given this matter considerable thought.

Because he was the only survivor, the Tianlong clan was completely wiped out after his death.

Zui Xie Xiao had considered finding a non-human to reproduce with, but that would make the bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon Clan impure. So even if he had met someone he liked in his life, he could only bury his feelings in his heart in order to ensure the purity of the Heavenly Dragon Clan's bloodline.

“Let them be extinct then…” Zui Xie Xiao sighed sadly. “Many years ago, I thought about passing on the techniques of the Heavenly Dragon Clan to other races, but… Over the years, none of the races I have come into contact with have the qualifications to accept the inheritance of my Heavenly Dragon Clan.”
