With that said, the golden petal on the girl who called herself Leng Wuxin lit up for another time. Countless petals emerged from under her feet and flew to all directions in the shape of lotus lanterns.
Bloodline of the Zi Family from the Northern Desert was also symbolized by a petal. However, that was of a purple color, indicating the seventh rank. When warriors of the Zi Family used their Bloodline Skills, numerous petals would dance around in the sky until a cage formed by flowers would come into being to trap the enemies.
Leng Wuxin’s Bloodline skill was similar to Zi Family’s. But Leng Wuxin’s lotus were more than merely petals, which gave it much more power.
One huge lotus after another whooshed toward God of Meng, Ye Cha, and the others. Seeing that the lotus was not in blossom, God of Meng wanted to smash one away, reacting from instinct. But, it was just this move that went wrong!
When his fist landed on it, the lotus sunk in. At the same time, a surge of force came from inside the lotus. God of Meng fell into the lotus with inertia and then…was wrapped inside.
“What…”
Ye Cha was about to use Space Splitting again to knock away the lotus. When he saw this, he would not let the lotus come any nearer. He began to move around like a mud fish. The hooks in his hands glared as he dashed toward Leng Wuxin. He attempted to attack at her so Lu Li could have a window of time to run.
Ye Cha was too naïve. The lotus around him suddenly came into full blossom and he was surrounded by suction force. Ye Cha could not fight it and was sucked into a lotus.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang~”
Muffled booming noises came from the lotus that wrapped God of Meng inside. The lotus sparkled and it could not be cracked. From inside was God of Meng’s bellows of anger and a hint of pain. He must be attacked from there.
From the appearance of the lotus to God of Meng and Ye Cha being trapped, only the time for one single breath had passed. Yan Zhen wasn’t able to run far with Lu Li. They didn’t even reach the crate of the volcano.
Lu Li saw what had happened. He turned pale. He shouted, “Yan Zhen, put me down. Go back and tell everyone to exit the Inferno. Tell Ke Mang to close the passageways. This is an order!”
Yan Zhen, Lu Ling’s slave, was told by her to obey Lu Li. Therefore, after a pause, Yan Zhen left Lu Li behind and flew away himself.
Lu Li didn’t want to end his own life. But he did now that he was not getting away with Yan Zhen. With such talents and treasures, this girl must be fast as well. Yan Zhen would not be able to bring him out. Now that death was not to be escaped, Lu Li felt he might just as well let Yan Zhen leave.
Ye Cha was with him a long time and God of Meng went through toil and hardship with him. Lu Li could not watch as the two suffer and die. Hence, Lu Li decided to stay and hopefully find a way to save them.
“Hmm!”
From down below came a snort. Lotuses flew up. Lu Li moved up a bit and arrived at the crate. He stood there with pride and waited for Leng Wuxin to come out.
He could tell that Leng Wuxin was a bit interested in him, to be exact, his Bloodline Skill.
“Whoosh~”
Nine huge lotuses flew up. God of Meng and Ye Cha were still making an effort. In their cries there were traces of pain. Lu Li didn’t know what they were going through in there.
Leng Wuxin came with her knives. The petals on her lotus opened, revealing her stunning beauty. There was a faint smile on her face, more like a sneer. From her eyes, Lu Li knew she saw herself as an arrogant princess. She was looking down on Lu Li as if he was a civilian in rags, which hurt Lu Li’s pride…
He was pale and his breaths were short. He cleared his throat and said in the ancient language, “Young Lady Leng, let my men go. I will stay to quench your anger. How is that?”
Leng Wuxing grinned and said, “I didn’t know you are such a man of friends. You want me to let them go? Sure. Just take this pellet!”
The red Interspatial Ring on her finger glowed as a blue pellet flew out. Lu Li grabbed it and checked with psychic power. The moment he did that, he felt his soul was being controlled by the pellet. He asked with a frown, “Does taking the pellet mean I will become your soul slave?”
Leng Wuxin was shocked. But she answered with blunt honesty, “Take this pellet and you will become my servant. Either you take it or the three of you die!”
Servant?
Lu Li forced a smile. To become other people’s servant? He’d rather die. He knew how painful and regretful Hu Lang and the others were. After becoming the slave, there would be no more freedom. An order from the master, even if it were for the slave to eat shit, the slave wouldn’t fight back. They wouldn’t be able to disobey if their master ordered a hit on their own families’ lives.
Freedom was not the only thing lost for a slave, pride as well.
To Lu Li, a person without dignity and pride was not a human being. If so, what was the point of living?
This was Lu Li’s principle and bottom-line!
Hence, he threw the pellet back to Leng Xuxin and said calmly, “You can kill me. You can torture for a year or 10 years. You can crack my bones bit by bit and you may even throw me into an oven and turn me into ashes. But turn me into your slave? Sorry…I will not do that!”
“Clap, clap, clap~”
Sticking the knives into the lotus, Leng Xuxin clapped. She nodded and said, “Such unyielding character and such a man. But…what if I break their bones one by one in front of you? What if I cut off their fleshes piece by piece in front of you?”
Lu Li sighed and answered calmly, “You may try but I will have to commit suicide to keep them company. I believe they will understand me.”
“Is that so?”
Leng Wuxin was not convinced, by the looks in her eyes. She looked at Lu Li with a taunting smile and said, “Now their skins are being eroded but here you are, being rhetorical. If you want to keep them company after death, how about a little action?”
“What kind of action do you want to see?”
Lu Li took out a dagger and put away the Heaven Grade soft armor into his body. He stabbed at his chest with great force.
“Swish~!”
With the move, Lu Li still remained composed. He pulled the dagger out. From the wound on his chest, blood gushed out. Yet, he did it again with calmness.
One, two, three, five!
Five cuts showed up on Lu Li’s chest. Blood was springing out, tainting his body and the Fate Wheel under his feet red. Blood was also seeping from his mouth, bleaching him.
From the beginning till the end, there was no chance in his eyes. He didn’t show pain as if he was stabbing at someone else, instead of himself.
He kept his looks on Leng Wuxin. After he finished the fifth cut, he finally grinned, with blood in his mouth, and said, “How is that? Is that enough? No? I can go on till I am dead. Young Lady Leng, I think you are from a prominent family. Young ladies like you shouldn’t torture servants. Let them go. Do whatever you want to do with me and I will be okay with that.”
