Chapter 1056: Concerted Efforts

“Swish!”
From the gently moving sword whooshed out a flash of red light. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was surging. Wu Guangde attempted to run but was suppressed. He could not move one bit.
“Bang!”
The flash of red sword light landed at the shield which was a Quasi Relic. Even so, the shield could not stand the seemingly gentle touch of the flash of red light. The shield was halved in the middle, and the sword light pressed on toward Wu Guangde.
“No—”
Wu Guangde sensed fatal danger, as well as infinite fear from the depths of his soul. He was the Family Patriarch of the Wu Family of the Mage Imperial Universe. Wu Family sent another two Semi-God Realm warriors on this mission, but both were dead. If Wu Guangde was hacked to death, then Wu Family would stand to lose and might be annexed by other families.
“Boom!”
He was unwilling to surrender; he was desperate and angry. Regardless, the sword light did not stop and landed at his back precisely. The Quasi Relic armor he was wearing was ripped and then, it was his body. The sword light eventually hit on the ground, creating a bottomless crack…
“Run!”
Chen Tianxian, Jun Hongye, and the others were hesitant at first. As Wu Guangde was slain, all the others were scared to death. They ran to different directions. They would not stay even if Yan Gu promised them Relics.
One warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm would die within one move. Li Family Patriarch and Wu Guangde did not have a chance to fight back. The Semi-God Realm warriors believed they were faced with nothing, other than doom in this fight, just like what a Human Sovereign Realm warrior felt when killed by an Earth Immortal Realm warrior.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li came over. He kept his eyes closed and did not use psychic power to check. Trusting his instinct, he swung the saber in front of him.
“Swish~”
A flash of blood-red sword light whooshed on. The three Semi-God Realm warriors who were not fast when fleeing was immobilized by the converged Xuan Qi in heaven and earth. All were halved from their waists and their Quasi Relic armors cracked.
The Slayer’s move was horrifying. It was like the Semi-God Realm warriors were merely vegetables to be harvested. But the technique’s strength was understandable since the Slayer had an easier time killing the demons than Lu Li’s enemies.
Lu Li was not satisfied that merely several Semi-God Realm warriors had been slain. He wanted all of them dead. The window of time the Slayer’s blood could remain effective was small. If he could not wipe them all out, he would be faced with a tragic end.
Lu Li sped up and went after the others. Soon, he caught up with two Semi-God Realm warriors. The technique, a flash of blood-red sword light and the two warriors at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm were hacked into two pieces. Another two on the tally!
The other Semi-God Realm warriors were scared out of their wits. None dared to fight back. Even if they intended to… they would not have the time to do so. As soon as Lu Li waved his saber, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth would gather to contain his enemies. How could they fight when they couldn’t even move?
“Well?”
Upon the death of those two Semi-God Realm warriors, Lu Li realized he was in a pickle. Yan Gu and the others had gone to different directions. When Lu Li went after one of them, the others would have taken other routes and run away. Currently, where Lu Li was at, there was only one Semi-God Realm warrior who was still trying to flee.
Lu Li, going after this one would mean that it was hard to catch up with the others. On the other hand, if he went after the average Semi-God Realm warriors who were still close, the warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm here would have the chance to getaway.
Lu Li realized that he could not kill every one of the Semi-God Realm warriors or the avatar of God of Wings! God of Wings was fast. She kept her distance and never gave Lu Li the chance to get close.
Even though with the Traceless Twister Profound Meaning and the Slayer’s blood, Lu Li could be as fast as a warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, his own realm was too low, being at the Earth Immortal Realm. If he were at the Semi-God Realm and with the help of the Slayer’s blood, he could be faster than everyone here and he could slaughter all in the time for one or two incense sticks to burn.
But he could not murder them all. What did it entail?
It implied that Lu Li had already lost this fight and that was a synonym for death. When the energy of the Slayer’s blood ran out, he would become weak and unconscious.
By then, he might be able to enter the Wicked Bead, but God of Wings could easily take control of the Wicked Bead and finish Lu Li.
“God of Wing’s avatar must go!”
Lu Li soon made up his mind. If he could not kill the avatar of God of Wings, there would be no escaping of death for him. But if he could, he would be able to go to the Wicked Bead for the fatigue period to pass and then he could find a way to kill the other Semi-God Realm warriors from the nine universes!
However, the thing was, God of Wings was careful not to let Lu Li approach her. He went through the options in his mind quickly and soon made a decision.
“Whoosh~”
He turned around. Instead of going after the warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, Lu Li went after the few at the initial stage, who had not run far.
Warriors at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm were much slower. Lu Li caught up with them in the time for a dozen breaths. There were three Semi-God Realm warriors. Lu Li could kill them without resorting to the Slayer’s blood. Even so… he did use this move. The more he used it, the more likely that he could master it in the future. This was the last drop of the Slayer’s blood.
“Do it!”
The three Semi-God Realm warriors were well-aware that death was the only outcome when they were being hunted down by Lu Li. The three of them seemed to be desperate. They knew they could not escape so they turned around and charged toward Lu Li. Their eyes showed that they were like three wolves forced into a dead end.
“Charge!”
They shouted. One of them was glowing as bright as the sun. In that instant, the world seemed to be swallowed by that light. Everything was gone, except for the light.
“Swish, swish~”
Another person swung the sword. His body and the sword appeared to be fused together. He was one with the sword. The warrior and the sword span quickly as it charged toward Lu Li.
The other one’s body turned half-transparent. There was not a breath of life from him, which made him easily unnoticeable. When he flew, there was no sound as if he were a ghost. He held a dark hook in his hand. Evidently, he was a man that favored sneak attacks.
The three of them cooperated well. Their methods were shrewd and ruthless. Clearly, all were going to use the strongest of their skills in a concerted effort to kill Lu Li.
One of the three was a distraction, the second one launched a full-front attack, and the third one was in charge of sneak attack, a three-pronged approach. If Lu Li were someone with less battle experience or weak-willed, he would have been fallen into prey.
But Lu Li was seasoned and capable of powerful means. That being said, he seemed to have lost his mind at this moment. Or maybe, he was distracted by that glaring light from the first warrior. Lu Li zoned out for a second!
That was the time enough to determine the outcome of a fight between powerful warriors!
“Swish, swish~”
A sword that was spinning fast had arrived at Lu Li’s chest. At the same time, a man showed up from behind and a hook with poison on the point was aimed at Lu Li’s back.
“Go to hell!”
Not far away from here, the man with the glaring light shot out a ray of radiance. He believed that even if Lu Li could dodge the first two warriors’ attacks, he would not be able to stand the column of light!
“Well?”
In the distance, God of Wings was watching. She grinned and her eyes kindled. If Lu Li could not stand this move, maybe… she could have the Wicked Bead before long.
