The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Lu Li’s move was gentle. A ray of blood-red sword light whooshed out from the Cold Blade. Before the ray of sword light reached Yan Zhen, a swarm of violent energy had arrived and enveloped Yan Zhen at once.

Yan Zhen felt like he saw some red light and then his entire world was seized by red, or, it could be said that… he had entered a world of blood.

Lu Li was gone and so was the ray of sword light, and the mountains around. Yan Zhen felt all he could see was blood, blood everywhere. He was lost in the oceans of blood.

“Bang!”

Some noise dragged Yan Zhen out from the world of blood. He came to his senses all of a sudden—stunned to realize that he had been staring blankly for a second.

But during a fight between powerful warriors, a second was enough to determine the outcome!

If his enemy’s attack was sharp enough, Yan Zhen would have died already. He dreaded this thought and then felt grateful that he had Relic armor. He thought Lu Li had only smashed him away but did not implicate any harm. The Relic armor was still intact.

“Wait—”

All of a sudden, Yan Zhen felt short of breath and somehow painful. Upon a look into his own body, he turned pale with fright.

He detected some unfamiliar energy within his body. It was not much but was attacked at his internal organs, which was why he felt pain.

“Oh no!”

Yan Zhen was alarmed. His most powerful leverage was the Relic armor and weapon. Now when Lu Li took action against him, Yan Zhen could not fight back at all. On the other hand, Lu Li could target at his internal organs through the Relic armor. This strange energy seemed to be unable to be dissolved.

In other words, if Lu Li were allowed to go on, Yan Zhen’s injury would grow worse. When it reached the stage where his internal organs were ruptured, not even a real god could bring him back to life.

“Swish~”

Before Yan Zhen could react, Lu Li attacked again. As before, it was a gentle move. The blood-red ray of sword light spread out from the Cold Blade. Before it reached Yan Zhen, he was covered up with a violent energy. Then… Yan Zhen was lost in that world of blood, again.

“Bang!”

The ray of sword light landed on Yan Zhen with great force. He was knocked away. His purple armor shone brightly, lighting up the surrounding area. Hu Lang and the other warriors could not keep their eyes open because of this offending light.

“Okay!”

Hu Lang and the others applauded. Though Lu Li’s attack could not break the Relic weapon or armor, Yan Zhen had been smashed away twice without being able to fight back. This had restored hope.

More importantly, it was about the feeling of Lu Li. Not even Hu Lang, who had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, felt like Lu Li was not a human being any longer. To Hu Lang, Lu Li was a killer god, an immortal that had descended from the Divinity.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Li dashed across the sky and caught up with Yan Zhen. By the time the latter came to his senses, Lu Li had made another move.

“Swish—”

With a shrill noise, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth gathered around the blood-red ray of sword light. Yan Zhen had just wanted to move when he was frozen again. He watched helplessly, as the ray of sword light come at him, as the world turned blood-red.

“Bang!”

Once again, Yan Zhen was knocked away. This time, after he came to his senses, he didn’t even have the time to check his injuries. He flew to the distance at once. He had to run because Lu Li was coming. If he let Lu Li land another strike, he would be frozen again. At this rate, he would lose his life here.

Lu Li could initiate an attack from the distance. As soon as he took action, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth would constrain Yan Zhen and he would no longer be able to fight back. Also, Yan Zhen would be affected by the violent energy after Lu Li took action. Yan Zhen wouldn’t even set up a defense while Lu Li attacked. It just so happened that there was also this chilly energy from Lu Li’s attack that was corroding Yan Zhen’s body.

Yan Zhen had a sense that everything was spinning out of control. Naturally, he was terrified. He believed he must leave this area and then found a way of counterattack. He could not let Lu Li take the lead in this fight.

“Immortal’s body!”

Lu Li shouted. The immortal’s body who was hovering in the distance came and grabbed Lu Li with one hand as he dashed on. In an instant, they caught up with Yan Zhen. Lu Li wielded his saber in one hand and in one gentle motion.

“Swish~”

It was the same blood-red ray of sword light; the same world of blood and the same smashing away. After Yan Zhen came back to his senses, he was really scared.

Just now, he had forgotten about the immortal’s body which was much faster. That was to say, Yan Zhen had nowhere to run to. Lu Li could attack at him constantly, wearing Yan Zhen out. Lu Li would not give Yan Zhen one second to rest until he passed away.

‘I have to think of a way. I have to!’

Yan Zhen thought quickly. Unfortunately, the next second, Lu Li had attacked again. Yan Zhen was lost in the world of blood where his mind could not function…

“Bang, bang, bang, bang~”

Once, twice, ten times!

Hu Lang and the others watched as Lu Li smashing Yan Zhen again and again. While the Relic weapon and armor were still intact, the warriors felt hopeful again. They observed, nervously and excitedly. Hu Lang swallowed some pellets and then had someone carried him to go after Lu Li. He wanted to be there when Yan Zhen was killed. Or, if Lu Li were the one to be defeated, Hu Lang wanted to accompany Lu Li to the underworld.

‘I must fight back or I will lose my life!’

Having come back to his senses again, Yan Zhen wielded his saber and hacked at the space in front of him. He was not fully conscious yet but this was the idea coming from the depth of his soul. After all, he was a Semi-God Realm warrior with quite quick reflexes.

“Whoosh!”

His move generated a while line that was moving toward Lu Li. The latter remained calm and gave an order to the immortal’s body, spiritually.

The immortal’s body let go of Lu Li and dashed forward to shield off all the attacks from Yan Zhen. At the same time, Lu Li wielded his saber. As he moved, the sky and earth shattered amid gales. Yan Zhen had just wanted to act again when he was frozen.

‘I am doomed. What to do’

After Yan Zhen’s mind became clear, he inspected his body. His internal organs were heavily mauled. That chilly energy lingered on. He could not stop it from working any time soon. At this rate, he would lose his life.

He did not attack again. With the immortal’s body here and given his speed, Yan Zhen could not kill Lu Li in an instant.

“Again!”

Yan Zhe was unwilling to give up. He would not accept the fact that he could not end a warrior at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm. Yan Zhen was convinced that all the obstacles would be cleared out when Lu Li was out of the picture.

“Boom~”

Once again, Yan Zhen was smashed away into a mountain. He did not try to run. As soon as he came to, a golden glow rose from his neck. Then, many golden snakes flew out toward Lu Li.

This was Yan Zhen’s Bloodline Skill, a ninth rank one.

Almost at the same time, the Relic weapon in his hand lit up. He swung it forward The saber shone brightly as the circulation of air swarmed violently. A strangely-shaped beast shadow charged out from the saber, running toward Lu Li.

Yan Zhen had woken up the soul inside the Relic weapon and resorted to his Bloodline Skill in the meantime.

It was a two-pronged approach. His intention was to end Lu Li in one move.
