Amidst the howling wind and torrential rain, the sky was pitch black, devoid of any light, making one's heart tremble.

In the Liu family's main courtyard, hundreds of people were engaged in a fierce battle. Both sides fought with all their might, sparing no strength, using their strongest abilities to attack and claim the lives of their opponents. The Liu family could only struggle to hold on, fighting a desperate and bloody battle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, a series of dull sounds came from the left, drawing everyone's attention. Di Ba and others glanced over, their faces filled with shock.

What they saw was a Chen family warrior flying backward, colliding with several others and knocking them down in a row.

"Whoosh!"

A sound broke through the air as a black longsword cut through the rain, heavily slashing at a Zhao family warrior. The speed of the sword was so fast that the Zhao family warrior had no time to react. The sword struck his chest, and he was sent flying, splattering blood and knocking down several others.

"Lu Li!"

This time, Di Ba finally saw clearly and exclaimed in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

Di Ba remembered very clearly that the last time Lu Li escaped to Wuling City and stayed at an inn, he led the Zhao family warriors to the inn to kill Lu Li. At that time, Lu Li was only at the mid-Xuanwu stage. How could he have broken through to the Divine Sea stage in such a short time?

Di Ba did not know that Lu Li had killed Elder Park and others on Red Rock Mountain. He had been stationed in a place on the eastern side of Cold Cloud Mountain and had only recently returned to the city. No one from the Zhao family talked about the Red Rock Mountain incident because it was a painful memory for Zhao Rui, and those who knew about it wouldn't want to offend him.

Therefore, Di Ba looked as if he had seen a ghost, while Zhao Rui was not as shocked. He thought the Liu family had spent countless high-grade pills to help Lu Li advance in cultivation.

Zhao Rui was not shocked, but Liu Yi's heart was filled with a towering wave of emotion. She knew very well that the Liu family had not only not helped Lu Li but had even deliberately targeted him.

Lu Li had definitely not received a single high-grade pill from the Liu family, which meant only one thing—Lu Li had broken through to the Divine Sea stage on his own.

Thinking about how she had spent over a dozen high-grade pills from the family to break through to the Divine Sea stage, Liu Yi's face flushed with a hint of regret.

If that night she had disregarded her dignity, lowered her standards, and taken the initiative to embrace him, she might have become Lu Li's woman by now.

Genius!

This was Liu Yi's evaluation of Lu Li. Being with a genius, as long as Lu Li didn't die, his future achievements would definitely surpass her imagination, and she and the Liu family would rise with him.

Of course...

Liu Yi soon shook her head to clear her thoughts. The current situation was not suitable for daydreaming. The Liu family might be wiped out tonight, and she would be crushed to death. Thinking about those things was meaningless.

"Bang!"

Many people were stunned, but Lu Li did not stop. His longsword swept like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep. In just a few moments, he had killed five people and knocked down over ten, and he was still reaping lives at a terrifying speed.

"Good!"

The Liu family's morale soared, and they all roared as they attacked. Liu Yi's whip danced, creating a fierce wind as she shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived; leave all these scum behind."

"Hmph!"

A He family Divine Sea stage warrior was near Lu Li. He wielded a large axe and charged at Lu Li with great ferocity. Lu Li had just killed a He family member and was now charging toward another He family disciple. He naturally could not stand by and do nothing.

"Come on!"

Lu Li had been waiting for this person to come to him. He slid his foot and kicked a Zhao family warrior to the side, using him as a bag to kick toward the He family Divine Sea stage warrior. At the same time, he swung his longsword, striking the man's body.

"Bang!"

The man was split in two by Lu Li's sword, blood splattering everywhere, and his intestines and organs flying. The old Divine Sea stage warrior who was charging from behind shrank back and quickly moved to the side.

"Hmph!"

Lu Li's longsword flashed and struck again, aiming for the old man's neck. The old man reacted quickly, sweeping his large axe to block the Tianlin Sword.

"Bang!"

A powerful force came from the impact, almost making the old man lose his grip on his axe. He was pushed back, his eyes filled with shock. Sensing Lu Li's aura, he was clearly just a newly broken-through Divine Sea stage, yet how could he have such terrifying strength?

He had no time to think about it. Lu Li's speed was too fast, and he pursued like a shadow, the Tianlin Sword striking again.

What could the old man do? His body was still unsteady and unable to counterattack, so he could only block again. This time, he was smarter and held the axe with both hands to avoid being knocked away by Lu Li.

"Die—"

Lu Li roared, gathering his Xuan energy in his right hand, and the Tianlin Sword struck heavily. When the Tianlin Sword and the large axe collided, the Xuan energy was released, doubling the force. The old man's axe flew away.

Anyone who had blocked an attack would relax, never expecting a second force to come, especially one stronger than the first. The old man's hands went numb, and how could he possibly hold onto the axe with Lu Li's sudden increase in strength?

"Swish..."

Without the axe, Lu Li's Tianlin Sword drew a beautiful arc and struck the old man's neck heavily. A head flew up, and the old man's body fell to the ground, headless.

The entire scene was stunned. Lu Li had only been out for about twenty breaths, and he had already killed a Divine Sea stage warrior?

Lu Li was only at the early Divine Sea stage, and no one had seen him use any high-grade Xuan techniques. How could he so easily kill a He family Divine Sea stage old man?

"Good job, Little Brother Lu!"

Cheng Qu excitedly shouted, but suddenly a black arrow shot toward him, striking his neck.

He turned his head and saw Zhao Rui smirking at him from the crowd. He clutched his neck, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

Cheng Qu was one of the Divine Sea stage warriors on the Liu family's side. One Divine Sea stage warrior from each of the four families had died, so it was a draw.

"Uncle Ni, Di Ba, go and kill Lu Li. The rest of you, hold back the Liu family's Divine Sea stage warriors."

Zhao Rui roared, knowing that if Lu Li continued to kill, the Western Gate side might be completely wiped out.

Uncle Ni was a relatively powerful outer hall elder of the Zhao family, at the mid-Divine Sea stage. Together with Di Ba, they should be able to kill Lu Li.

"Good!"

A middle-aged warrior roared, his longsword wildly slashing, forcing back a Liu family Divine Sea stage warrior. He turned and ran toward Lu Li. Di Ba did the same, retreating into the ranks of the four families, ignoring the Liu family's Divine Sea stage warriors, and heading straight for Lu Li.

Liu Yi and others were anxious, wanting to rush to Lu Li's aid, but the four families' people desperately held them back. Zhao Rui's arrows shot out like venomous snakes, preventing them from supporting Lu Li.

After killing three or four nearby people, Lu Li raised his sword and stood still, waiting for Di Ba and Uncle Ni to approach. His face showed no fear, only a high fighting spirit.

His gaze swept over Di Ba's face, and he sneered, "Clan Leader Di, are you so eager to come and die? Do you want to go to the Netherworld to find Di Huo and continue your father-son relationship?"
