"Bang, bang, bang~"
One Noble Lord Realm warrior after another were smashed into minced flesh. Lu Li and Hu Lang's awful feeling grew. Hu Lang had thought this to be an easy mission, taking Lu Li with him to do damage here and there and they would have completed their task. Little did he know that it would turn out like this.
The nearly 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors' death was not to be sweat over. Even failure on the mission was fine. Hu Lang would even mind less about his own death but he could not allow for Lu Li to die.
Hu Lang knew Lu Ling to well. She was cruel and heartless. She knew no mercy. If Lu Li perished here, Hu Lang's entire family would be exterminated, without question.
Hu Lang forced himself to calm down. He looked toward the more than 1000 Noble Lord Realm warriors outside of the formation. Suddenly, he generated a hand phantom and smashed it toward the sky on the left. He tried to crack the formation by force and believed that as soon as it cracked, Lu Li could run at ease.
"Boom~"
When the hand phantom and air stream collided together, the hand phantom was bounced back as well. But the air stream was pushed back a bit. It would seem that Hu Lang's attack was quite powerful.
"Buzzing!"
Hu Lang decided to fight desperately. He looked at Lu Li before he took out an axe in his hand and swung it. Endless Xuan Qi from heaven and earth were converging. Hu Lang rushed up to the sky, stopped swinging his huge axe and cut at the Noble Lord Realm warriors to his left with force.
"Woo~"
A huge phantom of a beast appeared in sky. The beast howled. It glowed with a dark glare and emitted a horrifying qi and energy. It was as if the beast contained within itself terrifying power that could tear apart any powerful defense.
"Whoosh~"
Realizing that Hu Lang was going to fight with his life and released his most powerful Profound Meaning, Recluse Solar Dragon moved aside and hit at Hu Lang's back with the iron rod, aiming to hurt Hu Lang so he could not use Profound Meaning.
"Buzzing~"
The dark golden air circulated faster around the rod as if there were millions of golden knives spinning around the iron rod. Lu Li didn't know what Profound Meaning it was but he was sure that it must be some powerful ones with properties of gold.
Hu Lang had just released his Profound Meaning and he must make sure that the phantom of the beast would not collapse. He felt the fatal danger behind him. There was nothing else for him to do other than powering through. A surge of cyan-colored air stream appeared around Hu Lang. The circulating air formed a thin layer of shield.
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li made a move. He generated clones and made a dash toward Recluse of Solar Dragon. When Hu Lang made eye contact with him, Lu Li had already understood what Hu Lang wanted to do and he had anticipated that Recluse of Solar Dragon was going to attack Hu Lang.
For the first time, Lu Li span his Fate Wheel. But he controlled his speed and slowed to a speed comparable to warriors of the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. Now that under the influence of the formation, he was only as fast as warriors at the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm.
"Bang!"
Hu Lang was hit hard by the huge iron rod. The half-transparent shield over his body was cracked. His back was under severe impact. After a dazzling glare from his Holy Grade armor, Hu Lang was smashed aside. Blood spurted out from his mouth. This time, he was injured.
"Hoy~"
Seeing that the phantom of beast Hu Lang generated didn't collapse, Recluse of Solar Dragon smashed his rod at it forcefully. He could tell there was powerful energy in the phantom that could bombard the formation open, blast all the Noble Lord Realm warriors outside away, which would lead to the collapse of the formation!
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li was only hundreds feet away from Recluse Solar Dragon. Lu Li began to pick up his speed. His clones were gaining speed as well and they were all swarming toward Recluse Solar Dragon.
Lu Li knew very well that Recluse Solar Dragon could see where he really was but he went along with the plan for one purpose!
He wanted to baffle Recluse Solar Dragon, let him think that he could kill Lu Li easily. He wanted to get closer to Recluse Solar Dragon.
Human Sovereign Realm warriors had Force Fields. They could contain an area with a radius of up to 300 feet. Lu Li was trying to divert Recluse Solar Dragon. He wanted Recluse Solar Dragon to think that—a nobody of the Eternal Realm was over his head to try to kill him and was releasing a cloning skill that he thought impressive.
Once Recluse Solar Dragon had this idea, he would not activate Force Field. He would let Lu Li get closer and crush Lu Li once he located his real person!
Of course, this was Lu Li's speculation. If Recluse Solar Dragon didn't take the bait and activated the Force Field when Lu Li was close, then the only fate awaited Lu Li would be death.
Lu Li chose to take the risk, risk his own life.
The clones were getting closer to Recluse Solar Dragon. He didn't activate his Force Field. Instead, he swung his fist and crushed the few clones.
"Good!"
Lu Li was seized in joy by this. He and his clones kept dashing toward Recluse Solar Dragon.
1600 feet, 1000 feet, 300 feet!
When Lu Li was only 300 feet away from Recluse Solar Dragon, he realized Recluse Solar Dragon still hadn't activated Force Field. Even Lu Li's soul was shivering in excitement.
Recluse Solar Dragon underestimated Lu Li, which was the most fatal mistake.
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li and three or four clones all swung the divine weapon of Dragon King and hit on Recluse Solar Dragon's head.
"Hmm, a puny insect and you want to shake the world. Little punk, you wish!"
Recluse Solar Dragon kept pressing down the iron rod in one hand. He didn't even look at Lu Li and he had a deriding smile on his face. His other hand began to grow larger abruptly and he reached for Lu Li's neck.
Instead of creating phantoms of fist, Recluse Solar Dragon let his hand grow. He used a secret skill in an attempt to grab Lu Li. Actually, Recluse Solar Dragon noticed that Lu Li had an unusual identity. He could speak to Ji Mengyao and hold her down with words. He could make Ji Mengyao and young masters from the Hades Society afraid to make a move against him. Recluse Solar Dragon would never believe that Lu Li was merely a regular warrior of the Eternal Realm.
"Good!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. He would have been an idiot for not making the best of such a good chance. He yelled, "Little White!"
Little White and Lu Li shared the same mind. Little White dashed out from Lu Li's sleeve and landed on Recluse Solar Dragon's hand and bit at it.
"Eh?"
Recluse Solar Dragon turned over. A glint of pain and anger rose in his eyes. He looked at Little White. It was gnawing flesh off his wrist at a terrible speed. Recluse Solar Dragon was fuming with rage.
"Die—"
Lu Li bellowed. His divine weapon of Dragon King landed on Recluse Solar Dragon's head with force. He sensed the cold air coming down from the divine weapon of Dragon King. Suddenly, his bald head began to be surrounded by a glare and a golden air. A shield appeared.
He had not concerned about the divine weapon of Dragon King because he had powerful defense. Or else he wouldn't have let his head being hit on.
"Something is off!"
For one moment, Recluse Solar Dragon was trying to kill Little White. For the next, he sensed fatal danger from the depth of his soul. Out of instinct, he activated Force Field, trying to freeze Lu Li.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Lu Li's divine weapon of Dragon King landed on Recluse Solar Dragon's head. More than 20 vibration waves of strength pierced into Recluse Solar Dragon's head. Following that was more than a dozen waves of soul attacks surging into Recluse Solar Dragon's Soul Pond.
