Chapter 9

"Alright, cripple this bastard!"

Digu's face turned fierce at Dihu's roar. Today, Lu Li was the one who started the fight, even crippling Diping's hand. Even if they crippled Lu Li's hands and feet, the elder wouldn't say anything, right? At worst, they would be punished.

Digu immediately drew the steel knife from his hand, creating a series of knife shadows as he slashed down at Lu Li. If Lu Li couldn't dodge, Digu's long knife would surely sever one of his arms.

"Hmph!"

Lu Li coldly snorted, his body explosively retreating. His physical strength was powerful, and his speed was naturally as fast as the wind. Although he rarely fought with people in recent years, he had ample experience fighting wild beasts. In his eyes, Digu was much weaker than a powerful wild beast.

He dodged left and right, and Digu's three or four consecutive slashes couldn't even touch the edge of his clothes, instead cutting down several small trees.

"Roar!"

Seeing Dihu about to charge over from a distance, Lu Li dared not continue to tangle with Digu. He explosively retreated a few steps, then kicked a large tree behind him several times, causing the giant tree to shake and leaves to rustle down.

He used the force to bounce high, and a long leg, carrying a fierce wind, slashed down at Digu's head. Digu, not willing to show weakness, swung his long knife to slash at Lu Li's leg.

"Bang~"

Lu Li's other leg swept out like lightning, sweeping across the blade of the long knife. A powerful force came, and Digu couldn't hold onto the long knife, which was knocked away. Lu Li's other leg, like an iron rod, fiercely smashed down on his shoulder.

"Ah? Ah!"

Digu roared in terror, accompanied by the sound of a bone breaking, and he screamed in agony, kneeling on the ground and rolling, clutching his left shoulder.

"Uh..."

Dihu, who had rushed over, was stunned. Lu Li wasn't a warrior, and he could severely injure Diping, who had just cultivated Xuan Power for a year, but how could he also severely injure Digu, who had been in the Xuan Warrior realm for four years?

"Kill!"

Dihu was quickly blinded by hatred. Digu and Diping were his cousins. Seeing their miserable state, a raging fire burned in his heart, and he wanted to chop Lu Li into eighteen pieces.

He roared and swung his long knife, attacking Lu Li continuously. His knife technique wasn't as rough as Diping's but had a flowing, continuous feel, like waves of the sea.

"Xuan Skill, Water Cloud Knife!"

Lu Li's expression became serious. Dihu was the second son of Diba. Diba had several famous Xuan Skills, and the Water Cloud Knife was one of them. It seemed Dihu had learned some of its essence.

Dihu was in the mid-Xuan Warrior realm, and his combat power was clearly much stronger than Diping and Digu. His speed was as fast as the wind, and his combat experience was excellent. He wielded a steel knife with great force. The reason he could succeed in the sneak attack earlier was that Dihu had been traveling all night and hadn't expected Lu Li to dare to fight back.

Lu Li had no weapon, and Dihu's knife technique was rigorous and proficient, with no obvious weaknesses. He had no chance of hitting Dihu and could only keep retreating to avoid him.

"Hisss~"

A moment of carelessness, and Lu Li was slashed by the long knife, leaving a blood trail on his abdomen. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, performing an iron board bridge to dodge the long knife and sweeping his leg to force Dihu to retreat, or his belly would have been torn open.

Blood slowly seeped from his abdomen, staining his cotton jacket. Lu Li clutched his abdomen and quickly retreated, his eyes cold and his breathing heavy.

Dihu was secretly alarmed. This little bastard, who had often been beaten up by them since childhood, had such powerful combat strength?

He was in the mid-Xuan Warrior realm, and among the young generation of the tribe, he was almost unmatched except for his older brother Dihuo and cousin Dihan. He had even used the Xuan Skill, Water Cloud Knife, but still couldn't defeat him?

"No, I need a weapon, otherwise, I'm at a disadvantage!"

Lu Li's eyes flickered, and he scanned the steel knife that Digu had kicked away. He took a few deep breaths, roared, and rolled to pick up a large rock, charging at Dihu with it.

"Come on, I'll show you what a true warrior is. If I don't cripple both your legs today, I'll take your surname, Dihu."

Dihu, not to be outdone, charged forward, his long knife waving like surging waves. When the distance between them closed to about two meters, Lu Li raised the large rock and smashed it down at Dihu.

"Hmph!"

Dihu sneered, his body flashing, and he swung his long knife to sweep across the rock. Sparks flew, and the rock rolled away, crushing several small trees.

"Good!"

Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to charge to the left, grabbing the steel knife from the ground.

"Huh?"

Dihu sneered, his long knife creating a flurry of blade flowers. He mocked, "Little bastard, do you think you can win me just by having a weapon? You don't have Xuan Power, so you can't use Xuan Skills. Even if you had a Heaven-grade Xuan Weapon, it would be useless."

"Whether it's useful or not, we'll see."

Lu Li tightened his grip on the steel knife, swinging it a few times to get used to its weight. He walked step by step toward Dihu, his confidence soaring, no longer fearing anything.

"Huh?"

Dihu clearly felt that Lu Li seemed different with the knife in hand, exuding an indescribable aura.

"Putting on a show, little bastard, if I cripple you, I'll immediately go back to the tribe and rape your sister!"

Dihu sneered and insulted, his body explosively charging forward, his long knife creating a flurry of blade shadows, aiming for Lu Li's left and right shoulders.

"Looking for death!"

Hearing Dihu's words desecrating his sister, Lu Li's face was filled with rage. He stood still, waiting for Dihu's long knife to almost reach him. Then he sank his legs, swung the steel knife straight forward.

He knew no knife techniques, let alone Xuan Skills, but his knife technique had a very terrifying feature: speed.

Fast as a meteor!

A flash of blade light appeared in his eyes, and Dihu's eyes narrowed sharply. His long knife was about to hit Lu Li, but if he didn't block Lu Li's long knife, his head would be split open. So he had to block it.

This block was a disaster!

"Clang clang~"

A dull sound echoed, and a terrifying force came, shaking Dihu's right hand, causing his tiger's mouth to split. At that moment, he almost couldn't hold onto his long knife, and the powerful force made his entire right arm numb.

"Clang clang clang~"

Several sounds of breaking air echoed, and several blade lights appeared. In just one second, Lu Li slashed out three or four times, each slash more powerful than the last.

Dihu couldn't hold onto his long knife, which was knocked away. He retreated, his body shaking with the force, and a mouthful of blood he couldn't suppress spewed out.

"No—"

At this moment, Dihu paid no attention to the spouting blood. He looked in terror at the blade light rapidly enlarging in his eyes, roaring in fear. If Lu Li's knife didn't stop, his head would definitely be split open.

"Hmph!"

Lu Li didn't stop, but at the last moment, he flipped the blade over and used the back of the knife to smash down on Dihu's shoulder.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed, and Dihu, like Digu, was knocked to the ground, his left collarbone broken, rolling in pain.

"Bang!"

A powerful leg stomped down on Dihu's chest, and the long knife slid to his neck, making Dihu's rolling and twisting body stop.

Lu Li's eyes were cold as he looked down at Dihu and said, "Dihu, listen to me. If you dare to cause us trouble again or desecrate my sister with your words, I'll castrate you."

"Whoosh~"

Lu Li turned the long knife and slashed it across Dihu's pants, accurately cutting a hole in them.

Feeling a chill in his crotch, Dihu trembled, momentarily forgetting the pain in his shoulder.

His face was filled with terror, and he cursed inwardly. Lu Ling was a crazy woman, and Lu Li was even crazier. If the long knife had gone a bit deeper, his life would have been ruined...
