Chapter 203: Last Battle: Death of Xia Jia

He looked around to confirm something; however, nobody was there.

"What do you mean?" However, the next second, he saw Lu Ying becoming bigger while growing four arms, a slender body with a tail lit in dark flames, a horn growing from her head, and her bust size increasing, with fangs protruding from her mouth. She almost looked like Lu Zhen, but in a feminine version with some distinctive differences, and she didn't grow bulkier, but rather slimmer.

"This…" Lu Zhen was speechless when he saw this. Although he expected that his mother had a transformation, he didn't expect it to be almost identical to his own and looked rather distinctive.

The aura around Lu Ying seemed to have changed significantly as she attacked Xia Jia.

"You are truly a bloodline martial artist." Xia Jia gritted his teeth as he attacked instead of retreating with a fierce expression. "I am taking you with me." He gathered every ounce of his strength and attacked with his full power.

However, at the last moment, as their attack was about to happen, a sneer appeared on Mother Lu's face as she disappeared from her position.

Boom!

The land split open as Xia Jia's attack landed; however, all it hit was the barrier, which slightly rippled before standing tall again.

"This…" Xia Jia's eyes became bloodshot as he looked around at his surroundings.

However, before he could even think further, suddenly he felt his strength draining as he looked up to see Lu Zhen in his normal size, opening his mouth as if he was eating something.

"It's that strange technique again." He could feel his body crumbling every second it passed. Although it wasn't a forbidden art, the pill started to take its toll on him, especially when he gathered his strength in that attack he did to Lu Ying.

He was drawing power way over his level, which caused his body to be like this. Not the side-effect of the pill itself, although it was just one step above his level, just that the difference is like an ant to an elephant.

Although the ant could kill the elephant, it would need to gather millions of them, while a single elephant was enough to crush hundreds of ants with just one step.

While he was distracted for a moment, he was hit again. Although the spirit protected him, he was still sent flying back, and his strength was rapidly draining.

"How stupid, Xia Jia. Now you have to dig a hole for yourself," Lu Ying sneered as she looked at him.

Lu Zhen, still in mid-air, was floating with his mouth wide open and a blissful expression on his face. When he devoured Xia Jia's energy for the first time, he felt an eternal energy enter his body. Although it was initially rather violent, after staying in his body for some time, it became tame and started to slowly change his body.

Meanwhile, Xia Jia struggled on the ground as his strength continued to drain, and he felt the consequences of drawing power beyond his level.

Lu Zhen's muscles contracted even more, becoming more compact, while his internal organs were being rapidly strengthened. Although his bone density increased, reaching the peak of the second-stage martial arts with his body, and his Wood Qi continued to advance, his entire body was strengthened as a whole rather than just his muscles.

A strange event occurred in Lu Zhen's body; however, it was rather fleeting because the energy wasn't enough, causing him to frown.

"Is this intent?" Lu Zhen thought as his eyes lit up with greed, looking at the ground where Xia Jia was fighting Lu Ying.

His eyes flashed with malevolence as he landed on the ground and started to slowly devour Xia Jia's energy again, hoping to gain more of the intent.

"It's this again…" Xia Jia felt his energy being snapped away from him.

"This can't go on any longer. I must kill one of them." His eyes glinted with determination as he abruptly turned around, stunning Lu Ying. However, Lu Ying's eyes lit up seeing this instead, and she sent a barrage of attacks to Xia Jia.

"You dare turn your back on me?" a sneer formed on her face.

"Demonic art: Demonic flames." her fist was suddenly covered with black flames as she punched xia jia.

Xia Jia grunted as he felt a scalding pain from his back; even the spirit couldn't protect him from it. Ignoring all the pain, he sprinted directly towards Lu Zhen with a determined glint on his face.

Lu Zhen's crimson eyes abruptly snapped open as his instincts flared. He gathered his bloodline and took his Volgrith form. Instantly, his height grew, his skin tone became purplish, and he sprouted two sharp horns and a heart-shaped tail. Two sharp canines grew from his mouth. He swiftly maneuvered himself, effortlessly dodging Xia Jia's attack.

A sneer formed on Lu Zhen's face as he ran from the battle and disappeared.

"Do you think you can hide from me?"

Xia Jia could almost instantly spot Lu Zhen as he prepared to attack. However, before he could make a move, Lu Ying intervened and attacked him again.

Ahhh!

The bone-chilling black flame once again burnt his back, revealing even the spine as the area was entirely scorched due to the high intensity of the flame.

"You…" He turned back, forgetting about Lu Zhen since Xia Jia would most definitely die at this rate.

However, the instant he turned back, his eyes widened as his vision dimmed.

His aura slowly died down, and he fell to the ground. His body slowly started to crumble as cracks spread throughout his entire body.

A sword that emitted a bone-chilling aura was stabbed right at his heart as the last of his vitality was snapped away. However, as the vitality was snapped, the aura of the sword seemed to grow stronger.

Xia Jia slowly closed his eyes as he started to wither away, leaving only bones behind. The red sword flashed with a bright light, and his bones were also sucked in by the sword.

Thud!

As the entire body of Xia Jia disappeared, the sword fell to the ground.
