Feng Laixian landed and spat out a heavy mouthful of blood.
That roar had hurt him too. There had been little air in his lungs, and he had forced it out with everything he had. Now the capillaries in his lungs were bleeding badly, filling them with blood.
But under the effects of the Red Emperor Undying Body, the worse his injuries, the faster he healed. As soon as he spat out the blood, he slowly stood, his body temperature still rising.
The Guandao in his hands had turned red and was giving off white light. Its heat warped the air, and its blade had grown exceptionally sharp.
At the sight, the man in golden armor gritted his teeth, pulled off his helmet, then stripped off the armor covering his upper body.
To an ordinary Awakened, that golden armor might have been precious special equipment. To him, it only held him back.
"Captain Zhao is getting serious," Chen Jianbing said mildly.
The man in golden armor was named Zhao Lei. His ability was the Thunder Dragon Body, a lesser version of Zhu Yuanlong's Tyrant Dragon Body.
The Tyrant Dragon Body could absorb the forces of wind, lightning, water, and fire to heal injuries and was immune to damage from all four. The Thunder Dragon Body granted only a dragon's physique and the ability to control lightning.
If Zhu Yuanlong had not been so proud and ended up falling early to Zhu Jiuyang and Zhu Hongfang's scheme, he would have grown stronger and more formidable than Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei's ability might have been inferior to Zhu Yuanlong's, but he was a powerhouse who had already come into his own.
No matter how much potential lions and tigers had, before they grew up, they were just big cats anyone could pet.
