Chapter 96

The warriors by the lake were not all from the Guan family; there were many warriors from other clans wearing various armors. However, at least no Soul Pond Realm warriors were seen. Although the number was large, the Seven Elders and others did not lose hope.

At least a thousand people had gathered by the lake, forming a long line that created a giant net-like defense to prevent the Liu family from rushing into the lake.

The Seven Elders and seven or eight Sea God Realm elders led the charge, with Lu Li closely following behind, and Liu Yi trailing after him. Lu Li had Liu Yi follow him, and she obediently stayed close to his side.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

People in the distance noticed the situation and began to pull the giant net back, with warriors on both sides sprinting over to surround the Liu family.

"Roar!"

The Seven Elders reached his maximum speed and, when he was dozens of meters away from the front warriors, he roared, "Fire the arrows!"

He and several other Sea God Realm elders simultaneously drew their bows from their backs, shooting long arrows that glowed with white light as they ran. These bows were mystic weapons, with astonishing speed and power. In the blink of an eye, they pierced through the air and embedded themselves in the bodies of the front warriors, sending them flying.

After only two arrows, the two sides were already in close combat. The elders discarded their bows and drew various weapons to fight.

"Roar!"

Lu Li, wielding the Heavenly麟Sword, slashed a late-stage Black Tortoise Realm warrior away. He had already chosen his route, breaking through from the left front. There were fewer Sea God Realm warriors here, only two, but nearly a hundred Black Tortoise Realm warriors.

The Black Tortoise Realm warriors posed no threat to him; he could kill one with a single slash. He ignored the other Liu family warriors and sternly ordered Liu Yi, "Stay close to me."

Lu Li's Heavenly麟Sword swung, and with each slash, someone was sent flying. His momentum was unstoppable, and Liu Yi, following behind, found that she didn't need to fight at all; following Lu Li was enough to break through the encirclement.

"Humph!"

Lu Li's bravery finally alarmed the strong warriors on this side. Two Sea God Realm warriors charged at him, one a giant over two meters tall, wielding a massive axe and swinging it down at him with great force.

"Early Sea God Realm? Get lost!"

Lu Li sensed the aura and observed the speed of the axe, then countered with a slash from the Heavenly麟Sword. A powerful force struck the axe, sending it flying, and the giant was forced to retreat, his eyes filled with shock.

"Swish, swish~"

Another Sea God Realm warrior, wielding a spear, stabbed at Lu Li's abdomen from the right. Lu Li didn't dodge, but instead swung the Heavenly麟Sword down on the middle of the spear.

"Clang, clang~"

The spear struck Lu Li's armor, which was a mystic weapon of the Earth Rank, and couldn't penetrate it, only sparking. Lu Li's Heavenly麟Sword struck the spear, and the powerful force made the Sea God Realm warrior unable to hold it, sending it into the ground.

Lu Li then swung his sword at the man's neck, moving so fast that it didn't seem like the speed of an early Sea God Realm warrior. The man reacted too late, and his neck was severed, killing him instantly.

"Uncle Wu, come and help!"

The giant on the left, seeing Lu Li's bravery, quickly retreated and shouted. A bald old man in the late Sea God Realm, standing far away, glanced over, and a killing aura like that of a prehistoric beast erupted from his body.

"Die~"

He roared and charged at Lu Li. Lu Li, having already broken through several Black Tortoise Realm warriors and carrying Liu Yi, saw the bald old man charging from the left and inwardly cursed.

He could easily kill early Sea God Realm warriors and barely handle mid-stage ones, but late-stage ones were difficult and could easily kill him.

Liu Yi saw the bald old man and glanced around. The Liu family warriors were all fighting bitterly, trying to break through. Since Lu Li hadn't followed the Seven Elders, they were too far away, and the Liu family's Sea God Realm elders couldn't help them.

"Lu Li, I'll hold him off for a moment, you break through quickly!"

Liu Yi whispered to Lu Li, raising her sword to charge at the bald old man. Lu Li, with a single slash, sent a Black Tortoise Realm warrior flying and coldly rebuked, "Fool, you'll be killed with one slash. How can you hold him off? Break through and don't drag me down."

Liu Yi, who had just started to charge, stopped, her face turning pale. Who in the Liu family dared to call her a fool before? Even her grandfather wouldn't scold her. Lu Li called her a fool and said she would drag him down?

"Break through!"

Lu Li's Heavenly麟Sword swept horizontally, forcing several people back, and with a kick, sent one flying, clearing a path. He roared and charged at the bald old man on the left.

Liu Yi gritted her teeth, her sword swinging as she charged forward. The front was filled with Black Tortoise Realm warriors, but Liu Yi, being a Sea God Realm warrior and well-equipped, easily broke through.

She glanced back and saw the bald old man charging at Lu Li, his sword striking Lu Li's Heavenly麟Sword. Lu Li was sent flying several meters, colliding with someone, and she immediately cried out, "Lu Li!"

"Go—"

Lu Li, with a backhand slash, killed the person behind him, got up, and glared at Liu Yi, then roared and charged at the bald old man again. He whispered, "Burn Blood!"

The late Sea God Realm warrior was too strong. In the Liu family courtyard, he had almost been killed by Elder Qing. He couldn't be careless now and immediately activated his bloodline divine skill.

His eyes flashed, turning silver, and a powerful aura enveloped his body, transforming him into a human-shaped dragon. He roared and kicked, sending two people flying, then leaped up, aiming a heavy slash at the bald old man's head.

"Huh?"

The bald old man's eyes showed surprise. How had Lu Li's aura become so powerful? His speed had also increased significantly. Had he taken a strength-enhancing pill?

But he hadn't seen Lu Li take any pills. His eyes glanced at Lu Li's neck, but saw no bloodline mark.

"Roar!"

Lu Li's sword was already coming, and the bald old man didn't dare to look further. He moved to the side, like a slippery eel, and his sword sliced at Lu Li's thigh.

"Xiao Bai!"

Lu Li roared, and a white light flashed from his sleeve, striking the bald old man's shoulder and biting into his neck.

"Swish~"

The bald old man's sword sliced deeply into Lu Li's thigh. His mystic weapon was extremely sharp, and if he continued, Lu Li's leg would have been severed.

Unfortunately...

A sharp pain in the bald old man's neck prevented him from continuing. Lu Li's Heavenly麟Sword swept in, shattering the bald old man's head.

"Hisss~"

Lu Li rolled on the ground, blood gushing from his leg, nearly severing the bone. Time was short, and he couldn't continue fighting the bald old man. He took a risk, and Xiao Bai didn't let him down; he had won the bet.

"Xiao Bai!"

He roared, hopping on one leg, dragging his bleeding leg, and carrying Xiao Bai forward. The Heavenly麟Sword flew, slashing several Black Tortoise Realm warriors away, breaking through the encirclement.

"Lu Li!"

Liu Yi, who had returned, ran over, picked up Lu Li, and sprinted toward Thousand Island Lake, quickly diving into the water and swimming away.
