Chapter 79: Slaughter You Like Butchering a Goat
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The reference of Di Huo made Di Ba’s eyes misty. Di Huo was his favorite son who about to make it to the Spirit Sea Realm. He had a whole future before him, but that was ended at the hands of Lu Li. Di Huo died without leaving a whole body behind. Just some bones were found.
Di Ba’s momentum rose again and he got even faster. He dashed toward Lu Li as he roared like a human-shaped beast. The Iron Ring Saber in his hands was filled with Xuan Energy, glistening. The seven iron rings on the back of the blade bumped into each other, making a crisp sound.
Uncle Ni started earlier than Di Ba, but the former slowed down a bit to wait for the latter. It had to be admitted that Uncle Ni had rich battle experience as he did not take any rash and premature attacks. It was easier to kill Lu Li if the both of them could launch the assault together.
Uncle Ni was not advanced in his age. He was about the same age with Di Ba, but was slimmer and had smaller eyes. Because of the rain, he squinted. Only two streaks of cold light were visible, making Uncle Ni resemble the looks of a poisonous snake lurking in the forests.
Di Ba dashed around madly out of rage. However, Uncle Ni secretly went towards the left a little bit. His plan was quite clear, letting Di Ba fought Lu Li face to face so he could have the chance to kill Lu Li with one surprise move.
Uncle Ni’s weapon of choice was a dirk which was hidden in his sleeves. It was hard to tell if he even had any weapons with him under the cover of the dark night.
"Go to hell!"
Di Ba was only more than 130 inches away from Lu Li. The former wielded his Iron Ring Saber and forcefully cut at Lu Li at a tilt. The iron rings clapped against each other, ringing so loudly that warriors nearby felt their eardrums hurt.
If there were people observing closely, they would notice that Di Ba’s saber was shaking quickly and slightly. The shaking motion had a rhythm, because of which the iron rings would make a freaky noise when hit against each other. Enemy’s mind was disturbed thereby.
Lu Li felt that his eardrums were pricking. Inevitably, he got distracted. He stared at Di Ba’s saber, knelt down on one leg and moved his body backwards horizontally.
"Hoy!"
Di Ba was getting faster in juggling his saber. At the same time, he kicked back and jumped up, aiming to cut at Lu Li’s neck.
Lu Li seemed to have been affected by his hurting eardrums. He had to hold his broadsword up to counter Di Ba’s action and to defend.
"Bang!"
Di Ba was in midair. Lu Li could not put all his strength into full play as his eardrums were still painful. He was knocked off by Di Ba with one strike of his saber. Lu Li landed on one of the warriors of the Zhao Family and rolled over on the ground.
Di Ba was also sent backwards because of the powerful strength, but he was stable and did not fall.
"Swish!"
Right at that moment, a black shadow moved closer to Lu Li like a fox. A dirk emerged in that man’s hand. He arched his body and used his dirk to stab the back of Lu Li who had just stood up.
Uncle Ni had made his move. He had chosen the optimal moment when Lu Li got up in a hurry after he was smacked away by Di Ba. At that moment, Lu Li was still staring at Di Ba, who was running to the former again.
"Lu Li, look out!"
At a distance, Liu Yi had been watching the situation over here. She secretly paid attention to Uncle Ni so she yelled when she saw him. Unfortunately, Uncle Ni was fast. There were only about 60 inches between him and Lu Li now.
"Idiot!"
Behind a window in a room, Lu Ling mocked. She knew clearly the true strength of Lu Li. There was no way that Di Ba could smack Lu Li away so easily.
Lu Li had done that on purpose. His intention was all too clear—Uncle Ni.
As expected!
Lu Li moved the Heaven Kylin Sword, grabbed onto it with both of his hands and made a backhand move forcefully. In the meantime, a surge of powerful qi and energy came out of his body. His muscles swelled up and his pupils turned silver. He had suddenly morphed into a human-shaped huge dragon.
"Ah…"
All of a sudden, Uncle Ni, who was about to get to Lu Li, gave out a miserable cry. His left leg became weak as he fell on his knee. Uncle Ni looked to the ground in terror, only to see that a small beast was chewing his left leg.
"Die—"
Lu Li screamed. Detecting the fatal crisis, Uncle Ni suddenly looked up and saw a black cracked broadsword cutting at him with a swooshing sound. Uncle Ni lifted his dirk to defend out of his instinct.
However, as soon as the dirk and the Heaven Kylin Sword were bumped together, the dirk was smashed away. The Heaven Kylin Sword cut at Uncle Ni with an enormous strength. In that instant, Uncle Ni’s head was cracked open, and so did his body. He died distressingly on the spot.
"Hiss, hiss"
Di Ba, who was making his way towards Lu Li, gasped. He paused. Liu Yi and Zhao Rui and all the others were stunned. They were too far away and the night was dim so they could not see clearly. All they could tell was that Lu Li managed to kill Uncle Ni, a warrior of the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, with one backhand stroke of his broadsword.
What was that?
Many people could not figure this out. Lu Li had just reached the Spirit Sea Realm. That much was plain. However, how could he kill a warrior of the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm with such ease?
Not many people saw Little White, nor did they realize that Lu Li had mobilized his powerful Xuan Skill. To them, the broadsword in Lu Li’s hands was also just a piece of abandoned Xuan Artifact as it did not glare.
Swish!
Having accomplished its mission, Little White sneaked into Lu Li’s robes like a white shadow. This time, many people saw it but could not make out what that was.
Lu Li turned around slowly and looked at Di Ba. The former said with a smile, "Di Ba, you think you are so good. But if I want to kill you, it’s as simple as killing a chicken or butchering a goat."
"Bang!"
Lu Li kicked backwards and dashed out like a sharp sword. He moved close enough to Di Ba in an instant and said to him in a deep voice, "Di Ba, have a taste of my Heaven Grade Xuan Skill, Phantom Mystical Sword!"
Lu Li’s broadsword chopped downward directly with a sharp noise. Di Ba was startled. Heaven Grade Xuan Skill? Could it be that Uncle Ni died because of this Heaven Grade Xuan Skill? Phantom Magic Sword? Was there going to be a phantom?
Lu Li was filled with murderous intent and powerful momentum. When he shouted as loud as a thunder, Di Ba became so silly as to check if Lu Li’s broadsword really had a phantom. Di Ba’s mind paused for a moment, so naturally, his reaction slowed down.
One second was enough to determine life or death when the fight was between powerful warriors. When Di Ba realized that Lu Li’s broadsword was a real one instead of a phantom, he lifted his saber to defend. By that time, he knew he was tricked.
"Boom!"
With an explosive noise, Di Ba was smacked away for 40 to 50 feet along with his saber. During the process, he even knocked off several men of the four Families. Plus, on account of the horrifying strength, Di Ba’s internal organs were hurt because of the shock. Blood sprang out, drenching his own body.
"Puff!"
Di Ba rolled over on the ground and tried to get up. At the moment, he could no longer suppress the blood in his mouth any longer so he had to spit it out. He put one arm on the ground to support him—it was an arm that was shaking. Bones were cracked because of the shock.
He looked towards Lu Li who was running over with terror. He said doubtfully, "How can you possess such horrible strength?"
More than 110,000 pounds!
Di Ba felt that Lu Li at least had strength of more than 150,000 pounds. If it were not for the fact that Di Ba mustered some of his own strength to go backwards, his head would be in the same state as that of Uncle Ni, like a smashed watermelon.
Lu Li, enraged, rushed towards Di Ba like a God of Death. Along the way, Lu Li also smashed several warriors of the four Families away. He looked at Di Ba coldly and said, "I have many cards in my hand. Do you want to find out? Go to hell and ask Di Huo."
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
A piercing noise came. Lu Li grew up in the wilderness, which gave him perception sensitive as that of beasts. Without even looking up, he swept his Heaven Kylin Sword toward the right.
"Clank~"
A sharp arrow was knocked away. Lu Li turned around and locked his eyesight on Zhao Rui across the crowd. He coldly shouted, "Distinguished Young Master Zhao, are you trying to remind me that I should kill you first before I end Di Ba’s life?"
