226: Chapter 226 Lu Zhengxian (Part Two)

As the distance closed, the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear clearly perceived the intensity of this aura; although it was stronger than Chang Yingwei, it still hadn't reached the Tier 4 level.

A cruel and dangerous smirk couldn't help but appear on the corner of its mouth.

Up until now, there hadn't been a Tier 4 existence among humans. It seemed it had truly guessed correctly—there was no such thing as a Tier 4 expert in Jianghai City, and that so-called Heavenly Palace faction was just a lie!

Jianghai City, this time, no one could stop it.

At this moment, the arriving Meng Ruiyi had already appeared in Chang Yingwei's field of vision. Seeing who had come, a trace of joy appeared in Chang Yingwei's eyes, but it immediately vanished, and his fist tightened involuntarily.

Even if Meng Ruiyi had come, what could he do?

Someone who hadn't achieved a Breakthrough to Tier 4, in the end, would be unable to resist the Bear King, this Beast King.

"Why did you come?"

"Get out of here immediately!"

"You haven't even achieved a Breakthrough to Tier 4 yet; staying here is a dead end."

Chang Yingwei roared at Meng Ruiyi. Meng Ruiyi had arrived in Jianghai City two days ago and had naturally met with Chang Yingwei. Since they were acquaintances from before, a lot of unnecessary talk was skipped.

Meng Ruiyi looked at the terrifying Tier 4 Bear King and the countless Evolved Beasts behind it; his eyes suddenly narrowed. This level of strength would be considered top-tier combat power even on the Beast Battlefield.

Currently, their Chinese Government's main combat forces were tied up. He had originally intended to try and fight it out, but now it seemed the gap between them was a bit too large.

In this urgent moment, Meng Ruiyi looked at Chang Yingwei and the hydrogen bomb beside him, and he immediately understood what Chang Yingwei was planning.

"Let me leave, but what about you?"

"Me?"

"I'll stop it!"

Chang Yingwei didn't have good intentions toward Meng Ruiyi, but Meng Ruiyi laughed.

"Stop it? Just you?"

"Chang Yingwei, don't make me laugh. Trying to stop it with that thing? I reckon you won't even be able to get close to it."

Meng Ruiyi's voice carried mockery, while the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear also watched the scene before it like it was a show. Jianghai City was already in its pocket, so it wasn't in a hurry anyway.

"You!"

Chang Yingwei's fist clenched tightly. The mocking smile on Meng Ruiyi's mouth didn't vanish, but he had arrived next to the hydrogen bomb.

"So I'll say this..."

"Let me do it."

"At the very least, I should be able to get close to this big guy and let this hydrogen bomb exert its maximum effect."

Meng Ruiyi's words carried an undeniable firmness.

"You..."

The words Chang Yingwei wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

"Don't 'you' me anymore. You're the one who should leave."

"As the City Lord of Jianghai City, you should be with the people of Jianghai City at this time. They need your presence now."

"Although we might not be able to escape this Beast King's siege, what if? What if someone really comes to save us?"

"I can still buy some time, while you staying here would only be throwing your life away for nothing. So go, don't make me look down on you."

At this moment, Meng Ruiyi snatched the well-protected hydrogen bomb from Chang Yingwei's hands and stood in front of it, looking at the behemoth not far away.

The World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear also saw the person's purpose, but it didn't care in the slightest. A human who hadn't achieved a Breakthrough to Tier 4, even with that thing in his hand, was nothing more than a waste of time to it.

"Right, there's one more thing."

Meng Ruiyi, with his back to Chang Yingwei, said slowly.

"I didn't find that Lu Zheng you mentioned."

"I don't know where he hid for the past two days; I didn't even see his face."

"Don't pin your hopes on him."

"When you report it, remember not to be so exaggerated. An eighteen-year-old Peak Tier 3 expert who is just one step away from a Breakthrough to Tier 4—how could such a guy exist in this world?"

"There's a saying that might discourage you, but I still have to say it: the geniuses I've seen are far more numerous than the ones you've seen, and they are the true heaven's pride."

"Our human hope lies with them."

"Forget it, telling you is useless. There probably won't be another chance to report it anyway."

Meng Ruiyi waved his hand as he spoke. Chang Yingwei's fist clenched tightly upon hearing these words. He wanted to say something, wanted to say that everything was true and they hadn't exaggerated at all, but now, saying anything was meaningless.

Their plan had already been disrupted by the appearance of the Beast King.

Looking at the Bear King in front of him, Meng Ruiyi smiled bitterly inside. He hadn't expected that he would have a one-way trip and leave with so many regrets.

Carrying the hydrogen bomb on his back, he unleashed his full strength and charged toward the Bear King.

But at the very last moment, a hand patted his shoulder.

Meng Ruiyi was somewhat impatient.

"Chang Yingwei, if you don't want to be blown up later, get out of here immediately."

But after he finished speaking, the hand on his shoulder still hadn't left. Meng Ruiyi turned his head to look, expecting to see Chang Yingwei, but a strange young man appeared before his eyes.

A look of shock and surprise appeared in his eyes.

Who is he?

How did he appear here?

There was even a momentary blankness in his mind.

He immediately looked at Chang Yingwei behind the young man, and he saw a sense of relief in Chang Yingwei's eyes that he had never seen before.

Seeing Meng Ruiyi looking at him, Chang Yingwei smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and spread his hands.

"There's one thing I also need to tell you."

"Although I haven't seen as many geniuses as you have, I only know one thing: for my Jianghai City, having Lu Zheng is enough!"

"If others are heaven's pride, then Lu Zheng is Heaven itself!"

Chang Yingwei's voice carried deep belief, and after hearing these words, Meng Ruiyi stared fixedly at the young man in front of him.

"You are Lu Zheng?!"

Lu Zheng smiled slightly at this moment.

"Glad I made it in time."

"I should be the Lu Zheng you're looking for."

Without waiting for Meng Ruiyi to react, Lu Zheng walked forward slowly, leaving his back to the two of them.

"You two, you've done enough. Leave the rest to me."

"Right, stay further away. I'm afraid blood might splash onto you later."

Meng Ruiyi still wanted to say something, but Chang Yingwei hurried forward, stopped Meng Ruiyi, and headed to the side without another word, not forgetting to take the hydrogen bomb with him as he left.

Meng Ruiyi was somewhat anxious.

The hydrogen bomb was taken away; how would he stop the Bear King?

"Chang Yingwei, even if that kid is Lu Zheng, so what?"

"Can he stop that Tier 4 Beast King?!"

"You're being reckless. If he's truly the Genius you described, then he shouldn't be allowed to die here; he must live."

As Meng Ruiyi spoke, he was about to grab the hydrogen bomb back and perish together with the Bear King.

At this moment, Lu Zheng looked at the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear, which was emitting a terrifying aura.

"This battle, it's finally our turn!"

After saying that, a powerful aura surged from Lu Zheng, shooting straight into the sky as if it were going to pierce the heavens. That Battle Intent made even the sky tremble.

This aura was not the least bit weaker than the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear's.

Feeling this aura, Meng Ruiyi was completely stunned on the spot, his brain frozen.

Beside him, Chang Yingwei murmured, "Just because he is Lu Zheng, that's why he can!"
