【Latest Broadcast】Tomorrow is May 15th, the anniversary of Qidian, the day with the most benefits. Besides the gift packages, this year’s ‘515 Red Envelope Frenzy’ is definitely worth watching. Why would anyone miss out on red envelopes? Set your alarms!

“Die—”

At the western courtyard of the Liu family, Elder Qing of the Zhao family roared as he approached. He had no weapons in his hands, and his only peculiarity was a pair of copper boots, shiny and gleaming.

His body leaped from a stone castle, which crumbled with a loud crash. His legs glowed brilliantly, and he shot toward Lu Li like a gust of wind. Lu Li had crippled Zhao Rui, which enraged Elder Qing to the extreme.

Elder Qing’s speed was too fast. Lu Li had just severed Zhao Rui’s leg and hadn’t even had time to do anything else when Elder Qing was already flying toward him.

His movements were peculiar, his body flying diagonally with his legs in front and his body behind, seemingly relying entirely on his legs for the attack.

In fact!

Elder Qing’s combat power was entirely in his legs. He was known as the “Ghost Shadow Legs” in Wuling City. Lu Li, hearing the sharp whistling sound, knew that this kick would be very difficult to block. If he didn’t handle it well, he would be smashed to death.

These copper boots were definitely mystic artifacts, and high-grade ones at that. There were spikes on the front and back of the boots. If he were hit in the head, his skull would surely split open.

Elder Qing’s speed was too fast. Lu Li couldn’t escape. He could only sink his legs, grip the Tianlin Blade with both hands, and use all his strength to slash at the rapidly approaching copper boots.

“Clang clang clang~”

Several dull explosions sounded. Lu Li’s arms went numb, and his body’s qi and blood churned. He slashed five times in succession, finally forcing one of the copper boots back.

“Whoosh~”

He had forced one copper boot back, but the other suddenly swept over, and the first one struck again in a flash. Elder Qing was already lying horizontally in mid-air, his legs kicking rapidly, aiming to kill Lu Li in one go.

“Roar!”

Lu Li, ignoring the churning qi and blood in his body, swung the Tianlin Blade and slashed down in a flash, striking the continuous kicks of the copper boots with all his might.

Clang clang clang clang!

Dull sounds echoed, and Lu Li’s body was pushed back continuously. He retreated over a dozen steps before stabilizing.

On the other side, Elder Qing landed, and with a single kick on the ground, he flew toward Lu Li again without a moment’s pause, his legs kicking rapidly, giving Lu Li no time to catch his breath.

“How is this possible?”

Lu Li was confident that his strength was absolutely greater than Elder Qing’s, but he was being pushed back continuously, while Elder Qing seemed unharmed.

He didn’t know exactly how strong he was, but it was definitely over 150,000 pounds. Elder Qing was in the late Divine Sea Realm, and even with the power of mystic artifacts, it was impossible for him to have such immense strength.

“Mystic Technique!”

Lu Li suddenly understood the key. Elder Qing must know a mystic technique that amplifies strength, or his mystic artifact can dissipate his powerful force.

“Sss~”

Elder Qing’s copper boots were rapidly enlarging in front of him. Lu Li couldn’t afford to be distracted. At this level of combat, a moment’s distraction would result in being pierced by the spikes on the copper boots.

He used all his strength to slash with the battle blade, repeatedly forcing the copper boots back, but his body was repeatedly pushed back by the counterforce.

“Roar!”

Elder Qing roared, and a leg glowed brightly, smashing heavily onto the Tianlin Blade. Lu Li felt a heavy force, and his body was smashed away, crashing into a stone castle and creating a large hole in the stone wall.

“Puh…”

The blood in Lu Li’s throat could no longer be suppressed. He got up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Hearing the whistling sound outside, he didn’t have time to rest, and his body suddenly crashed into the back stone wall.

“Boom!”

A collision sound came from the stone castle, followed by the falling of large stones. The entire stone castle collapsed, but Lu Li had escaped just in time, or he would have been buried alive.

“Whoosh!”

Seeing Elder Qing fly toward him like a meteor, Lu Li inwardly groaned. This couldn’t go on. His hands were already trembling, and if Elder Qing kicked him a few more times, he would definitely lose his grip on the Tianlin Blade, and he wouldn’t know how he would die.

“What should I do?”

At this critical moment, Lu Li’s mind raced. Lu Ling had told him never to give up, even in the direst of situations.

He couldn’t escape, so he could only fight to the death.

He had revealed all his trump cards, with only Xiao Bai not yet in action. But since Elder Qing was using his legs to attack, his hands were free, and if Xiao Bai moved, Elder Qing could easily kill him with a single palm.

What else could he do? It seemed there was only the Thunderbolt Mystic Technique!

He still had over a dozen threads of mystic energy in his divine sea, but the problem was that he could only release one thread at a time, which provided very little amplification, making it insignificant.

“Whoosh!”

Elder Qing’s two legs flew toward him like two streaks of light, shining brightly and flashing continuously in the air, so fast that it was impossible to tell which leg kicked first.

Lu Li could only channel mystic energy, grit his teeth, and continue to hold his ground. If he didn’t block, he would be immediately smashed to death.

Clang clang clang~

Elder Qing’s attacks grew more ferocious with each kick, like a surging tidal wave, each layer more intense than the last, aiming to drown Lu Li alive.

Bang!

Lu Li was once again pushed back, this time flying over ten meters and crashing into a tree, breaking a thick branch.

“Puh~!”

Lu Li got up and spat out another mouthful of blood. At this moment, his eyes were filled with confusion. His mind was filled with the continuous leg shadows of Elder Qing, like surging waves.

“Continuous, wave after wave?”

Lu Li’s mind suddenly stirred, as if enlightened. A question that had puzzled him for a long time finally had an answer.

Thunderbolt Mystic Technique!

The core of this mystic technique was to release mystic energy in threads, amplifying the force layer by layer. Mystic energy was like explosives; once one was triggered, the rest would detonate simultaneously, making it impossible to release them one by one, thus failing to achieve multiple layers of force amplification.

Now he finally understood.

Mystic energy could surge into his arm like a tide, one after another. He had never understood this trick before, but now it suddenly made sense. He comprehended the meaning of a very obscure and difficult sentence in the Thunderbolt Mystic Technique manual.

“Whoosh!”

The whistling sound came again from the front. Lu Li’s hands were still trembling, and the blood at the corner of his mouth hadn’t been wiped away. But his eyes brightened at this moment, like the brightest star in the night sky.

“Xiao Bai, go hide!”

Lu Li whispered, and a white shadow flashed from his chest, rushing into a nearby ditch.

“Roar!”

Lu Li stood up, his legs slightly sinking, and he gripped the long blade, slashing heavily at the whistling copper boots. At the moment the Tianlin Blade and the copper boots collided, his arm glowed slightly, then flashed five times in succession. The Tianlin Blade transformed into lightning, slashing five times in a single breath.

“Bang!”

This time, Lu Li didn’t fly back. Instead, Elder Qing was smashed away. Although Lu Li could only successfully use five threads of mystic energy, the force was amplified five times, increasing by at least 50% in such a short time. How could Elder Qing possibly withstand five slashes in such a short time?

“Roar!”

Lu Li’s legs sank again, and his body shot forward, the Tianlin Blade slashing heavily at Elder Qing’s head as he was just getting up from the ground.

Elder Qing’s combat power was entirely in his legs. Without a mystic artifact in his hands, how could he possibly resist? He could only roll on the ground, narrowly dodging Lu Li’s attack.

“Xiao Bai!”

Lu Li shouted, and the long blade slashed down like waves, forcing Elder Qing to roll on the ground to avoid the attacks, unable to counter.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, a white shadow shot out from the nearby ditch, darting into Elder Qing’s robe, aiming straight for his neck.
