The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 619: Rat in a Hole

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li's knowledge of inhibition formations was limited but he understood the ones he did know would require formations stones which would have to be buried underground instead of in midair.

But there was no formation stone or anything else. The more than 1000 warriors stood in midair, forming a formation themselves. It was quite horrifying as well, slowing Lu Li down by half. This had never happened before.

Hu Lang had never heard of this, either. As far as he knew, there was no way Recluse Solar Dragon could have known this. The formation was incredible. It must have passed down from the ancient times. Only major families would have the information of such a strange formation.

In other words—either the Samsara Palace or the Hades Society knew about this formation.

Of course, this was only Hu Lang and Lu Li's speculation. There was no proof that it came from the Samsara Palace. Lu Li and Hu Lang couldn't make the accusation.

Lu Li stopped there for a moment to think. He made some eye contact with Hu Lang then suddenly turned back and waved at the nearly 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors.

Hu Lang nodded. The Noble Lord Realm warriors acted with Lu Li. Hu Lang dashed toward Recluse Solar Dragon. Lu Li had intended for them to split up. Lu Li was going to crack the formation. Now that it was formed by people, when some of them died, the formation would crack naturally.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

The Noble Lord Realm warriors split into three teams and charged forward like three sharp swords. Their speeds were limited. That being said, they were still at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm with fast speed. They approached those forming the formation soon.

"Buzzing!"

The ones standing on the outer ring began to move quickly. The threads connecting them, surprisingly, didn't break. The over 1000 warriors moved clockwise simultaneously.

"Buzzing!"

Intangible vibrations of shockwave spread out from those men as if they had let out some air streams toward Lu Li and the rest of his team.

"Eh?"

A warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm on Lu Li's team made an attack but it bounced back from the air stream. Another warrior would not believe this. He rushed out but he was knocked away by the air stream. They could not get to the warriors forming the formation.

"Impressive!"

Lu Li exclaimed to himself. This formation was amazing. Even attacks would be bounced off from it? Lu Li had an idea. He controlled some clones to rush out.

But those clones were stopped by the air stream as well and they all collapsed. Lu Li said to Little White in his sleeve angrily, "Little White, go."

"Whoosh~"

Little White rushed out in a blur but the same thing happened. As soon as it came in contact with the air stream, Little White was bounced back.

The air stream was more than 1000 feet away. With that distance, Lu Li believed that even if he took out the Ding of Barbarian God, the force would not be able to suck the Noble Lord Realm warriors in, not to mention when all of them were moving quickly.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Li controlled his Fate Wheel to break free but it made no difference. He and his team were stuck in midair. If they weren't here themselves, they would not have believed this.

"Hoy, hoy!"

Still, some were reluctant to accept the fact. They resorted to their powerful means but none struck any luck. Their attacks and Xuan Energy dispersed in air.

Lu Li even tried to use psychic power to launch soul attack, but not even that could pierce through the air stream…

"Ha, ha, ha~"

From the distance came a pleasant laugh. Ji Mengyao, along with some young masters, was standing in midair in deride and ridicule. They acted like they were spectators in a pit, looking how the beasts were struggling in a cage.

"Boom~"

From behind Lu Li came a muffled sound. Hu Lang was smacked back. He was knocked away by Recluse of Solar Dragon with a rod.

Lu Li looked toward Recluse Solar Dragon and was surprised to see that the latter's speed was not impeded. The formation was ineffective to Recluse Solar Dragon. Even though Hu Lang and Recluse Solar Dragon were at the same realm, Hu Lang's speed was halved. It was understandable that Recluse Solar Dragon could smack Hu Lang away with a rod.

"Hoy!"

Recluse Solar Dragon dashed over. The rod began to grow longer and bigger until it turned into a huge rod. The huge rod glared in a golden color with a darker airstream circulating around it. Clearly, the rod was a Holy Grade Xuan Artifact and a very good one.

"Dodge!"

Lu Li yelled. He controlled the Fate Wheel to fly to the sides. While he could fly away, the other Noble Lord Realm warriors would not be so lucky. They were crowded together and their speeds were impeded when Recluse Solar Dragon was freakishly fast. How could they possibly dodge away?

"Bang!"

With a random swing, Recluse Solar Dragon pounded four or five Noble Lord Realm warriors whose bodies burst open in midair. Their severed limbs and blood rained down.

"Scatter!"

Lu Li yelled. The rod didn't make any stop before it was swept across again. They were too crowded together. One random move could lead to the death of several. Who could they possibly stop the might of a Human Sovereign Realm warrior?

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

They spread out soon. Unfortunately, the two were too slow. They were hit by the rod and then their blood fell like rain.

"This is not some normal attack!"

Lu Li's eyebrows were knitted together. He stared at the huge rod. Regular moves would only kill a person but the warriors who died were smashed open.

"Bastard Solar Dragon, your enemy is me!"

Hu Lang whooshed over in a rage. But he was slowed down too much that before he could get to Recluse Solar Dragon, the latter had already moved away. Recluse Solar Dragon swung back his rod and aimed at Hu Lang.

"Bang!"

Hu Lang's physical defense was strong and his armor was definitely of the Holy Grade. Even though he was slower and was smashed away because he could not dodge, he didn't sustain a serious wound. Not even blood was coming out from the corner of his mouth.

He had Holy Grade armor but others did not. Of course…Lu Li had on a Holy Grade soft armor. Lu Ling had so many treasures that she spared this for him in advance. Lu Li was not a fan of heavy armor so he only wore a soft armor inside his robe.

"Ha, ha, ha, Hu Lang, I will kill your warriors and then I will slowly torture you to your death!"

Instead of going after Hu Lang, Recluse Solar Dragon began to target at the Noble Lord Realm warriors with the growing golden rod.

Because of the formation, Lu Li and his team were like rats in a hole. Recluse Solar Dragon was a hunter that could prey on his game easily in here.

Lu Li and Hu Lang looked at each other. They detected grim in each other's eyes. Recluse Solar Dragon was too fast. They could not get to him. Were they supposed to watch as the nearly 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors were slayed?

Lu Li was worried about the Noble Lord Realm warriors while Hu Lang's concern was about Lu Li.

Lu Li was representing warriors of the Clouds Plains right now. It appeared to others that Recluse Solar Dragon was bought off by the Serenity Plains. This was a regional conflict. Not even Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall could interfere.

In other words—even if Recluse Solar Dragon killed Lu Li, Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall couldn't say a word. Even if he did, he would only kill Recluse Solar Dragon at best, instead of going after the Samsara Palace and the Hades Society.

Samsara Palace and the Hades Society were too distinguished to kill Lu Li above board.

While Recluse Solar Dragon was a person without a following. He must have been rewarded heavily by the Samsara Palace and the Hades Society. He would not mind anything else.

It was possible that Recluse Solar Dragon didn't know the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall intended to cover Lu Li for 10 years. It was highly likely, hence, that Recluse Solar Dragon was in for the kill.

"Bang!"

Recluse Solar Dragon swept the rod here and there. Several other Noble Lord Realm warriors were killed. Blood were spilled everywhere, tainting Lu Li and others' hair and body red.
