Chapter 54

Lu Li was only five meters away from Uncle Scar. At first, he threw the package, then shot the crossbow. If Uncle Scar was accidentally hit, everything would be perfect.

However, he still underestimated the reaction speed of a Divine Sea Realm martial artist. Uncle Scar reacted as soon as Lu Li moved. Especially when Lu Li shot the crossbow, Uncle Scar felt something was wrong and immediately dodged to the left.

The package and the crossbow both missed. Lu Li's Tianlin Blade, which was originally intended to strike vertically, had to change direction and sweep horizontally.

"Clang clang~"

Uncle Scar's long sword was drawn, and he also swept horizontally. However, his angle was very good, hitting the broken part of Lu Li's Tianlin Blade. A dull sound echoed, sparks flew, and Lu Li felt a powerful force, making his right hand numb and his chest blood surge, causing him to retreat continuously.

"Boy, you're courting death."

Uncle Scar was furious. His legs moved like a giant beast charging forward. His long sword created a myriad of sword shadows, moving so fast that Lu Li couldn't see them clearly. He saw only a myriad of stars enveloping him, and no one knew which star was the real sword. It felt like there was no way to escape in any direction.

Lu Li could only keep retreating, but how could his speed compare to Uncle Scar's? Just as he was about to be stabbed, Lu Li, with a determined heart, gripped the Tianlin Blade with both hands, ignoring the opponent's sword, and swung it with all his might, aiming for Uncle Scar's head.

A life-or-death gamble!

Lu Li adopted the most brutal fighting method. His blade speed was very fast, and the distance between them was so close. Even if Uncle Scar could kill him, Lu Li was confident he could hit Uncle Scar, at least causing him serious injuries.

He was overthinking...

The realm difference was overwhelming. A Divine Sea Realm martial artist had a huge advantage over a Profound Martial Realm. Moreover, Uncle Scar had been living on the edge of a blade for over twenty years. What scenes had he not seen?

"Clang clang~"

Uncle Scar's long sword danced, drawing a line on the Tianlin Blade, causing sparks to fly. His body turned, and the sword slid along, aiming for Lu Li's right hand.

His mystic weapon was clearly very advanced, at least a high-level Human Rank, if not an Earth Rank. If he hit, Lu Li's hand would be severed...

"Amazing!"

Lu Li was secretly alarmed. His speed and reaction time were far inferior to Uncle Scar's. If this continued, Uncle Scar would easily play him to death.

At the critical moment, Lu Li no longer dared to hold back his strength. He roared, "Burn Blood!"

That's right!

He activated his bloodline divine skill. If he didn't use it at this moment, he would never have another chance.

"Hum!"

His back slightly glowed, the silver dragon pattern shining brightly. His muscles bulged, and a surging power flooded his entire body. His eyes turned silver, and he felt his blood boiling, giving him endless strength. His aura suddenly became abnormally fierce and cruel.

"Huh?"

Uncle Scar was greatly alarmed. He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Lu Li, sensing that Lu Li's blood and qi were now stronger than his own.

Before, Lu Li was like an ant to him, but now this ant had suddenly turned into a giant lion. How could he not be surprised?

There are three ways for a martial artist to boost their combat power in a short time: the first is to consume strange pills, the second is to use a powerful secret technique, and the third is to release a bloodline divine skill.

Lu Li clearly hadn't taken any pills, and he couldn't possibly have a powerful secret technique, let alone the Liu family. The only explanation was that he had released a bloodline divine skill.

So Uncle Scar instinctively looked at Lu Li's neck, but became even more puzzled because there was no bloodline mark on Lu Li's neck!

"Roar!"

Uncle Scar hesitated for a moment, but Lu Li had no hesitation. He swung his long knife, deflecting Uncle Scar's sword, then swung the Tianlin Blade at Uncle Scar's neck, chopping several times.

Uncle Scar regained his senses, instantly dispelling his doubts and focusing on the battle. He raised his sword to block and prepared to retreat.

But this block was problematic...

Lu Li's bloodline divine skill was extremely abnormal. He had used it once before and clearly felt his strength increase by more than three times.

What does three times mean?

Lu Li's current physical strength was over thirty thousand pounds, and three times that was one hundred thousand pounds, which was about the strength of a peak Divine Sea Realm martial artist.

If the previous strike was like a strong man hitting with a wooden stick, this one felt like a giant dragon lashing out with its tail.

"Boom!"

Uncle Scar's long sword was immediately knocked away. Lu Li's long knife followed, aiming for Uncle Scar's head, intending to split it in two.

Uncle Scar, a seasoned warrior, forcibly twisted his body to the right and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding Lu Li's fatal strike.

"Such fast reaction speed."

Lu Li marveled at the power of the Divine Sea Realm. He didn't dare to stop, and with a powerful leap, he charged like a giant beast, swinging the Tianlin Blade at Uncle Scar.

His bloodline divine skill could only last for half an incense stick's time. He had to kill Uncle Scar within that time, or he would die.

"How did this boy suddenly become so powerful?"

Uncle Scar was internally terrified. His hand holding the sword was still tingling from the shock. Under Lu Li's continuous attacks, he could only roll on the ground to dodge. Without his weapon, he couldn't use his mystic techniques and couldn't possibly fight the Tianlin Blade with his fists.

"Ah..."

Lu Li's blade speed was too fast, and the dim light made it hard to see. Uncle Scar was accidentally hit on the thigh, a chunk of flesh flying off, revealing the bone.

He rolled on the ground in pain, avoiding Lu Li's attack. When he got up, he didn't hesitate and turned to run.

"Trouble!"

Lu Li was secretly anxious. Although his physical strength had increased three times, his speed hadn't. If Uncle Scar escaped and he collapsed from exhaustion, the consequences would be dire.

"Neigh~"

At this moment, a small beast emerged from a ditch to the left. Xiao Bai had been in the package, which Lu Li had thrown out, and was now free.

Lu Li's eyes flickered, remembering Xiao Bai's terrifying speed. He stared at Uncle Scar's bleeding thigh and shouted, "Xiao Bai, bite his thigh!"

As long as Xiao Bai delayed for a moment, Lu Li could catch up and kill Uncle Scar. Xiao Bai, upon hearing Lu Li's command, didn't hesitate and transformed into a white blur, shooting straight at Uncle Scar.

However!

What happened next made Lu Li's entire body tremble, and he froze in place, his eyes full of shock...

Xiao Bai transformed into a white light and easily caught up to Uncle Scar, then opened his small mouth and started gnawing on his leg. In just a blink, the flesh on Uncle Scar's right leg was gone, leaving only the bone.

"Ah—"

Uncle Scar let out a heart-wrenching roar, suddenly grabbing at Xiao Bai with one hand. But Xiao Bai dodged and went for Uncle Scar's other leg, which also turned to bone in a blink...

"This, this, this!"

Lu Li was stunned. How could such a powerful Divine Sea Realm martial artist be severely injured by Xiao Bai in an instant? Both legs turned to bone in just two blinks, which was too shocking.

However, Lu Li then thought about how Xiao Bai could gnaw on the Tianlin Blade. What couldn't his teeth gnaw on? It was normal for him to easily gnaw on Uncle Scar's legs.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Li quickly regained his senses, charged forward, leaped high, and swung the Tianlin Blade, decapitating the severely injured Uncle Scar.

Divine Sea Realm Uncle Scar, dead!
