Lu Li was scared. Many people on the ground, including Bai Qiuxue, were astonished.
The combination of the Gravity Profound Meaning and the Earthshaking Stamp was perfect. The Earthshaking Stamp could beat enemies relying on its absolute strength. When that worked together with Gravity Profound Meaning, Du Heng would easily beat warriors of a lower Realm than his.
"Yu Huashen, can you do something to contain him?" Lu Li’s eyes flickered as he watched Ye Xiao and others fleeing to all direction. Ming Yu could not get closer, either. The only one Lu Li could consult was Yu Huashen.
Yu Huashen said with a bitter smile, "No. As soon as I get close, I will be impacted as well. My Shield of Sparks cannot withstand his Stamp. I only have Sixth-rank Bloodline but he has a Seventh-Rank one. His Profound Meaning is more powerful than mine."
"Young Master, you needn’t worry." Yu Huashen looked to Ye Cha and said in a low voice, "That man is not using his full strength now. I think he can be match for Du Heng."
"Back off. I will deal with him!"
Ye Cha really couldn’t hide his true power now. He shouted and sped up. Even though it was still not his top speed, it was already terrifying. Lu Li now couldn’t even see where he was. Ye Cha danced around in the sky like a breeze and made a dash towards Du Heng.
Ming Yu and the others backed off and flew to the Iron-armored Ships to Qi Tianhe and Zi Huanyu. Ming Yu knew that if they didn’t beat or kill Du Heng and the others, they could not take away Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang.
"Whoosh~"
Zi Huanyu made a move. What surprised people was that instead of attacking at Ming Yu and Ye Xiao, he flew to another Iron-armored Ship and stood in front of Zi Lian. His white beard danced around and he crossed his hands at his back, acting like he would not do anything.
Du Ziling squinted and said to Zi Huanyu with a cold smile, "Chief Patriarch, what are you doing? Or… you are in with Lu Li as well?"
Zi Huanyu casted a random glance to Du Ziling and a surge of powerful qi rushed towards the latter which made him feel like he was the target of a beast. Du Ziling was trembling. Zi Huanyu said, "You are not qualified enough to tell me what to do yet. Say another word and I don’t mind to discipline you on behalf of your father."
Du Ziling was afraid to say anything else. Ye Yuhuan looked at Zi Lian who was also in confusion. Zi Lian shook her head to tell Ye Yuhan that she didn’t know why Zi Huanyu was acting like this.
Zi Lian turned to Zi Huanyu. The latter’s lips moved and a very low voice was sent to Zi Lian's ears, "Lu Li’s father is very likely to be Lu Renhuang, the person that injured the Old Man of Heaven Prison more than a dozen years ago. Our Family Patriarch had chosen not to come simply because he was afraid that Lu Li was going to come here. What Family Patriarch decided is right. We cannot… offend Lu Li."
"Wow!"
Zi Lian was surprised. She glanced over to Lu Li in astonishment.
Soon, she seemed upset. She was regretting not helping Lu Li during the fight at the Wu Ling County which turned out be the worst mistake in her life.
"Swish~"
Ye Xiao and Ming Yu had arrived at the Iron-armored Ships. Ming Yu already contained Qi Tianhe with Force. Even though his Force looked similar to Du Heng’s Gravity, there was essential difference.
Force was to confine the space leveraging the force in heaven and earth. Gravity was to increase the gravity in that area drastically so that warriors would slow down and fall uncontrollably.
Ye Xiao thrust his sword forward and released his secret skill that he once used on Yu Huashen which scared Qi Tianhe almost to death. The other two patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race also produced many shadows and roamed around Qi Tianhe, waiting for a chance to attack him. Qi Tianhe was miserable.
He glanced over to Zi Huanyu, only to find him standing there without any indication that he would make a move.
Qi Tianhe had to dodge to the sides constantly and fight back with his bow. However, he knew clearly that he could not dodge forever. The Force of Ming Yu had slowed him down, and he was not a worthy match for Ye Xiao. It was only a matter of time before he would be defeated or killed.
On the other side, Du Heng and Ye Cha were in heated combat. Ye Cha had sped up and was spinning around Du Heng. At the same time, he had resorted to full strength and used his Space Splitting Profound Meaning. One gigantic golden claw after another smashed at Du Heng from all sides.
Ye Cha was not very close to Du Heng so he was not influenced by the Gravity Profound Meaning. Du Heng was dealing with Ye Cha’s attacks with ease. He made the stamp fly up, circle around him and smash the golden claws.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
The stamp and golden claws bumped against each other and gave out nerve-striking sounds of explosion and the noises could even break through stones and gold. Small cracks appeared in the space and they healed and cracked again and again. It was as if the fight between them tore the sky open and it grew back…
Horrifying qi and energy spread across the place which made people anxious. They felt so stifling as if it was the eve of storm.
With more explosion sounds coming, people’s hearts were throbbing. Young masters and ladies with Zi Lian had gain much experience. It was not usual to see a fight of this level. Taking this opportunity, they could learn and grow.
Under the concerted attacks from the four, Qi Tianhe was in an increasingly critical situation. Du Heng tried to go over to help but he was stopped by Ye Cha. Ye Cha’s attacks kept coming with great power and speed. He kept his distance from Du Heng so the latter couldn’t do anything even though he was fuming with anger.
"Swish, swish~"
Ye Xiao and the others rushed towards Qi Tianhe. Two patriarchs diverted Qi Tianhe while Ye Cha attacked from the back. Two deep wounds appeared on Qi Tianhe’s back as Ye Cha stuck his hooks in.
Qi Tianhe was wearing Heaven Grade soft armor. Nevertheless, it was not of much use and his back was bleeding.
"Zi Huanyu!" Qi Tianhe shouted in anger, "Why aren’t you doing anything? Do you want to watch us die?"
Du Heng also stared at Zi Huanyu and shouted, "Zi Huanyu, are you trying to breach our agreement? Come on, take Lu Li down."
Zi Huanyu shrugged and replied, "I am sorry but the Zi Family quit. Lu Li once saved my Lian-er in the Tomb of Dragon King. We have some sort of relationships with Lu Li as well. Lian-er begged me so… sorry!"
Swish, swish, swish~
Numerous people turned their heads to Zi Lian who blushed and lowered her head. The shy looks of a lady made many young masters burning with envy and also misled some people into thinking that Zi Lian had grown fondly of Lu Li which was the real reason that Zi Huanyu didn’t want to make an enemy of Lu Li.
Du Heng and Qi Tianhe were trembling with anger. It was such a critical moment and the Zi Family quit? They would all die now.
Qi Tianhe glanced to the Eternal Realm and the Fate Wheel Realm warriors and bellowed, "What are you standing here for? Go and capture Lu Li!"
Du Heng threw a glance to Du Ziling and shouted, "Ziling, go to the Heaven Prison City!"
More than 100 warriors of the Eternal Realm and the Fate Wheel Realm rushed towards Lu Li and Yu Huashen. Du Ziling flew toward the Heaven Prison City with a warrior of the Eternal Realm.
"Damn!"
Lu Li and the others were scared, not because of the incoming enemies, but of Du Ziling. Du Ziling had gone to the Heaven Prison City, clearly, to invite Du Zheng!
