Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 181 Chao Cheng.

But the doorman looked at them and sneakily took out his sect token.

"Disciplinary Peak leader Zhi Rui and her subordinate; ZHun Xuying has arrived."

Zhun Xuying smiled and said to Zhi Rui, who just chuckled. "He didn't need to do it though."

As she said, the disciples around started noticing and looking their way.
Walking directly to the interconnected store. But as they walked, they started to hear the commotion on the near horizon.

Disciples started flying around, whispers, looks, gasps, anticipation, everything.

By the time they arrived in the main hall They had already heard of everything that happened since the five Geniuses arrived. Mainly of how Chao Cheng called Zhi Rui for a battle on his first hour on the sect. They spoke of how Zhi Rui went away to avoid the geniuses and how she can't deal with them.

Zhun Xuying frowned, her eyes turned genuinely cold to the people around. She stepped closer to Zhi Rui and spoke in a low tone.

"He's a fourth level body cultivator, of a rich clan, I know you can deal with it. But it's better to assume he's more powerful than your father was."

Zhi Rui laughed but she didn't have the time to speak,

A sudden meteor-like impact hit the ground in front of them. Debris and dirty flew right at them

Zhun Xuying unsheathed her sword for a few inches and put it back. She did it in an instant. Zhi Rui felt it clearly; When she pulled the sword, the wind stopped and when she put it back. The wind formed a small tornado that sent everything upwards, so high, that the most of the dust was caught in the winds and went away on a cloud, and the bigger pieces were falling slowly so anyone could beat them away.

Zhi Rui widened her eyes at Zhun Xuying That was sixty percent skill and thirty percent weapon. To have a weapon gave a thirty percent bust was a high-class weapon.

'I'm afraid not even the temporary bald sect leader has something like that.' Zhi Rui thought.

Chao Cheng stood with a naked upper body in the middle of the crate he created. His gold accessories shone with the light of the sun.

His scarred bronze muscles looked like a sculpted armor. The dragon wing on his back coupled with his astonishing handsome features made people gaze in a daze.

His eyes met with Zhi Rui's. And for a second he was taken aback. Her black hair and emerald eyes were more astonishing than any beauty he saw. But he pulled himself together and stared with a mocking grin.

"Are you the one named Zhi Rui?"His voice created tension in those surrounding and silence reigned.

With half-closed eyes, Zhi Rui tilted her head an gave him a sarcastic smile. "And you're the lizard who's been screaming my name since his arrival? How weak you must be, that the first thing you do on a strange place is to scream like a gorilla and challenge a woman a level under you to fight?"

Her words were ice shards, the people gasped at her unafraid stance. The one in front of her was the important offspring of some high-class clan. Then the public remembered how Zhi Rui cussed and offended the venerable who had just arrived and started giving orders.

The scene in front of them wasn't so impressive anymore, but both extremes of beauty like them were enough to keep their attention.

"Whining about levels? form what I heard you rarely fought anyone on your level. But now you're telling me to find someone my size? I see you were all talk after all." He scoffed.

"If I did anything else besides accepting in rage, wouldn't I lose face? Congratulations, you cornered a female cultivator with a level under you, from a poor country into a fight" Zhi Rui chuckled.

They both talked back and forth, but the objectives were simple and clear, and talking was more of another for them, no matter what they said, the emotions didn't reach their eyes.

"Let's go then." Zhi Rui said and stepped forward, one by one her steps went midair as if she was walking on stairs.

"Haha, taking the high ground?" Chao Cheng said.

"Men should give woman small advantages like this."

Chao Cheng cackled even louder, "Unfortunately for you, not giving an inch to the enemy goes beyond any gentlemanly rule for me."

He swung his wings once. Then he was fifteen meters in the sky.

Zhi Rui was ten meters down. He smirked and sung his wings again.

Like a meteor, he bolted down towards Zhi Rui.

"Realy..." Zhi Rui sighed "People should pay more attention to his enemies methods..."

He was already a meter away from her. Zhi Rui materialized a wall beside her and jumped with her two feet on it, she could just jump away and leave him to hit the ground.

Then she looked a the people around, their feeling was of those that already knew that would happen like he would be attacking and hse would be running like a white rabbit...

In that instant, Zhi Rui saw red. It would hurt, but she had to put herself in the same stand as these geniuses if she wanted to at least begin to compete.

Her eyes shone red, without using a weapon she flexed her leg and did a spin, like a whip her fair leg struck upwards all of her inner energy was focused on her leg.

The meteor came, The whip-like kick hit him by the side, changing his direction. Chao Cheng Widened his eyes and managed to protect himself with the shoulder at the last instant.

The impact went through her leg and into her whole body. *Crack* The materialized was tore through by Zhi Rui's body. As fast as lightning she hit The ground. like her, Chao Cheng fell a few meters away.

Dust went up, but this time Zhun Xuying was uncertain of Zhi Rui's pose and didn't brandish her sword.

Slowly the dust settled. Zhi Rui was standing, her robe was covering her leg, and anything else was as clean as before. Not even her hair was out of place.

Cheng waved the dust on his side off and stood with a proud smile on his lips. "To take forty percent of my strength and not even flinch, you're truly worthy of competing with us." He said and went back up in the air. He looked down.

"But you should be more careful, I had used an actual attack, that level of strength you showed wouldn't even be able to run away."

With this, he went away. The crow was in awe, they whispered and talked of how cool he was.

Zhun Xuying elegantly landed beside Zhi Rui and held her hand with a smile. "We're quite late already, we should be going."

Zhi Rui sighed as if it was all a waste of time "Yes, let's go."

Wit ha jumped they both went away. Zhun Xuying's whispered reached Zhi Rui's ears "He wasn't using forty percent right?"

"That was a hundred percent attack." Zhi Rui said. "And while both of us are injured, I'm in a way worse state." While she spoke, she coughed a mouthful of blood.

With a bloodied lips she turned a smile to Zhun Xuying. "Let's buy our cores and breakthrough."

A chill went down Zhun Xuying's spine
