Chương 14: Flowing rivers, red in color, paint the world.

Seeing Zhi Ruo's body on the floor, Marcus's mind blanked out.

Staring at her corpse, the wound on her chest and her lifeless expression, his heart stopped.

Seconds went by, but for Marcus, it was an eternity.

Looking up he saw a young man with blood on his hand, looking at him with anger.

Marcus's heart started beating again, faster and faster, as anger and sadness filled his chest, tears started running down his cheeks.

Lighting started to move around his body, and soon he was covered in an armour made of lighting, stray bolts as thick as baby's arm detached from the armor and started to destroy everything around him.

Fen Zhuang looking at Marcus felt fear for the first time in his life. He tried to resist the pressure with his Qi, but it wasn't enough. Seeing the lightning coming closer to him with every step Marcus took. Not being able to move under the huge pressure he could only watch in horror as Marcus's hand closed onto his neck.

With Marcus palm touching his neck he felt as if he was being eaten alive by ants which was soon amplified as more lighting entered his body. Now he could tell that not even his father was an opponent for Marcus meaning that he was stronger than stage eight expert.

With the body of Fen Zhuang in the air, convulsing from the lightning going through his muscles and foam coming out his mouth, Fen Zhuang died.

But Marcus didn't stop there. His lightning pierced through everyone who came close to him leaving a charred, smoking hole. Soon blood was flowing like a river fine the street. After killing everyone, on the horizon, an old man showed up. Seeing the sight in front of him, he froze in place. In the middle of the field of bodies he saw a young man covered in lightning, and at his feet was his son, Fen Zhuang.

Fen Qing had received word that his son's killer was in the city and quickly gathered experts of the clan. Following Fen Zhuang track he quickly found their location but what he saw was a complete opposite of what his expectation was.

"I WILL KILL YOU!"

Throwing himself at his children killer Fen Qing started his mad assault.

Every time Fen Qing threw out a punch Marcus would react and doge with unimaginable speed, unknowingly he accelerated his whole nervous system using his energy and how fast his muscles contracted to allow him to keep up with Fen Qing.

Lightning was striking Fen Qing body constantly, his clothes were destroyed, he used all of his techniques but he was only able to be equal to his enemy. He was already tired, but the enemy looked the same as before. The rage on his face started to cause fear deep inside Fen Qing's heart. The fight raged on creating destruction everywhere, punches and lighting destroyed buildings and caved in the ground, what looked like the middle of the city now was only a ruin.

Fen Qing created some distance and started to think of a way to escape, at the same time Marcus joined his palms and started to circulate his energy.

A standstill was created and no one was willing to move first.

Fen Qing knew he stood no chance against Marcus, so he moved first! Dashing to the left he went behind a ruin of what was a building, at this moment Marcus released his lightning from the coil acceleration pathway. The lightning bolt was so fast and thick that it swallowed the wall that Fen Qing hid behind with him leaving nothing behind.

Fen Qing was dead!

Cheng Gang was standing atop of a building, from the moment he felt the same pressure he felt from Marcus that day, he rushed out. The moment he arrived the fight with the Fen Qing just started. He wanted to go and stop it but seeing as other people from the Fen clan tried to come closer and got struck by a lighting that detached from the armour on Marcus body leaving only a bloody hole. If he got close he would get attacked and if he defended himself it would distract Marcus and give a chance to Fen Qing. Understanding this he held himself back and stayed away and observed.

As the fight went on Fen Qing was getting slower, but Marcus only got faster and faster, his attacks more powerful each time. Lighting was hitting Fan Qing over and over again burning his clothes, hair, and skin. When Cheng Gang saw Fan Qing creating some distance, he knew that he would try to escape. The moment he dashed out, Cheng Gang started to move, but before he could get close, huge lightning bolt hit where Fen Qing was hiding, destroying the wall, fen Qing, and everything behind, to finally hit the ground and disappear.

Cheng Gang was shocked; this attack was so powerful even he wouldn't be able to block it!

Everything that was close to the lighting was either on fire or melted. Glowing rock was flowing like a river.

Looking over at were Marcus was standing, he no longer saw any lightning. Marcus was standing there looking at the sky, his clothes destroyed completely form the lighting armor.

Marcus was in pain, not only his body but also his heart. He was able to find happiness, but the world took it away from him. Just like his mother. Tears flowed down and mixed with his blood. From every part of his body blood started to flow, because he stayed in lighting armour for too long his muscles and organs were badly damaged, his core got smaller, and every inch of his body was in pain.

But he ignored all of it and started to walk, in the middle of the battlefield was one spot where the floor was undamaged, and on it laid Zhi Ruo. Looking at her, Marcus wasn't sure what to do.

"Bury her."

Cheng Gang approached him from the back.

Marcus picked Zhi Ruo up and started to walk to the city gate.
