“Boom, boom, boom~”

Right at this moment, from the peak came out some loud noises of explosion. Following that was a shout of fury, “Chief of Sect of Supernatural Beings is still breathing. Come and finish him. If he recovered, we would be in so much trouble!”

It was Commander Ye. Lu Li was relived. Commander Ye’s shout could not have come at a better time. Otherwise, prefecture warriors nearby would notice the Deaf Taoist who was a creature from the Region of Doom. Some prefecture warriors could tell right away and that would give Lu Li a headache.

“Bang!”

The Deaf Taoist waved his stone column and smashed at the demonist. Both the Deaf Taoist and the demonist were knocked away. That demonist held an iron rod in his hand. Thought it was smaller compared to the Deaf Taoist’s stone column, the iron rod must be a Relic considering the hue around it.

“Roar~”

The demonist came back again after taking a few steps back. He swung the cyan-colored rod and knocked away several Stone Golems, two of which were crushed into pieces.

The Deaf Taoist forged ahead and engaged in a heated battle against the demonist. The two of them were similar in abilities. With every strike, they could smash each other away.

“Their speed and strength are alike!”

Lu Li nodded. Before infected, this demonist must be more powerful than the Deaf Taoist. Now that he was infected, the demonist had lost his soul. He could only rely on his physical strength. Inevitably, the demonist’s abilities were crippled.

A moment later, Lu Li stopped paying attention. “Deaf Taoist, distract this demonist away and come back immediately afterward.”

The Deaf Taoist nodded. With the next strike, he moved to the left and then slowed down when he came back up. In this way, he could lure the demonist away gradually.

“Alright now!”

A while later, the Deaf Taoist successfully lured the demonist three miles to the left. Lu Li was a bit relaxed.

It had been a long time since the fight started. No prefecture warrior had come to him. Most of them must have gone to the peak so he was neglected.

“Wait—”

He suddenly turned to the right. From the depth of his soul rose a sense of danger. Without any hesitation, he activated the armor and moved dozens of Stone Golems to the right.

“Swish~”

Lu Li heard a humming sound. He checked with psychic power. From the void emerged a blue spear that was glowing in the color of red, gold, and cyan.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The Stone Golems dashed over but were pierced through by the spear one after another. The Stone Golems, which were comparable to immortals of the lowest level, crushed upon when came in contact with the spear as if they were made of jelly. The spear was not impaired at all.

“Impressive!”

Lu Li could already sense the presence of the bird-eyed behind the spear. From the bird eyes spread out strong murderous intent. The evil influence of the bird-eyed prefecture warrior really lingered on.

“Buzzing~”

Lu Li took out a Relic weapon. Promptly, he swung the weapon at the bird-eyed prefecture warrior. A ray of blood-red sword light glared as a force in nature exerted pressure on the bird-eyed prefecture warrior whose speed was crippled at once.

“You do have some abilities!”

Li Qiang laughed grimly. He shook the spear. As the space was trembling, the force containing him was dispersed. Li Qiang moved downward to avoid the ray of sword light and dashed toward Lu Li.

“Why are you trying to kill him? At least let me know the reason before I die.”

Lu Li did not run away. Holding the saber in his hand, he posed this question coldly. Li Qiang moved in closer, smashing away the Stone Golems in his way. “The reason is simple. Someone pays one million Divine Sources for your life.” Li Qiang responded with equal coldness.

“Is it Yan Tiangang?” Lu Li grinned. The Interspatial Ring on his hand glowed as he was ready to let out the immortal’s body.

“Yan Tiangang? Who is that?”

Li Qiang paused for a moment. Then, he continued with sarcasm, “I guess it’s okay to tell you. It is Commander Wings from the Office of Creation nearby that is asking for your life. Punk, your death is not to be regretted. After all, you are worth one million Divine Sources.”

“Commander Wings? God of Wings!” Lu Li was taken aback. He had thought that it was Yan Tiangang who was arranging this. It turned out that the first one to go after him was God of Wings.

Commander Wings. It seemed that God of Wings was just a warrior on the list, like Commander Ye. If God of Wings could create such troubles, what grand gesture would come from Yan Tiangang?

Lu Li could not even imagine. He did not have the time to think, either. Li Qiang was coming closer and closer. Lu Li checked the area with psychic power. Making sure that there was no other prefecture warrior, he then let out a headless corpse.

“Whoosh~”

As soon as the immortal’s body dashed out, he charged toward Li Qiang in a blur. At the same time, Lu Li wielded his saber to release the Slayer’s move.

“Eh?”

Li Qiang stopped for a moment. He was puzzled as he saw the immortal’s body who was stronger and faster than him.

Since it was a corpse, a dead person, how could he be so intimidating and fast? Was he once a mighty warrior in the Divinity? But how could Lu Li, a new immortal, take control of a mighty warrior’s corpse?

Li Qiang zoned out for a moment. Since the distance between him and Lu Li had been shortened, the immortal’s body had reached Li Qiang’s side. The latter had no other option but to stab at the immortal’s body’s chest with the spear.

“Swish~”

One thing slipped his mind, though. Lu Li was using the Slayer’s move so the force in nature was containing him. Li Qiang was slowed down. On the contrary, the immortal’s body was not affected at all as he punched at Li Qiang’s head.

“Boom~”

The immortal’s body was strong. Li Qiang was smashed away. The strong force and strange energy crept into Li Qiang’s head. He felt his head was going to burst open.

“Boom!”

Li Qiang fell into the rocks and the impact created a hole on the ground. Lu Li checked with psychic power. Li Qiang was bleeding. Delighted, Lu Li ordered Blood Fairy at once. “Blood Fairy, kill Li Qiang. Do not let him run away!”

“Whoosh~”

Almost at the same time, Lu Li dashed toward where Li Qiang fell.

Adding insult to injury. Prefecture warrior represented the official force. Would it incur grave consequences when Lu Li killed Li Qiang? Lu Li was not sure. However, since Li Qiang wanted his life, Lu Li could not be merciful. He must finish Li Qiang first.

“Bang~”

Rocks were ripped into ashes. Li Qiang dashed up. His head, under the helmet, was covered with blood. He shook his head and blinked, in a confused state of mind.

“Swish~”

The immortal’s body dashed up. Lu Li could not fly in the Divinity due to the limitation in space. On the other hand, Lu Li seemed not to be affected. He could fly at a low altitude easily.

The sense of fatal danger finally cleared Li Qiang’s mind. He shouted, seeing that Lu Li was using the Slayer’s move again to facilitate the immortal’s body, “Lu Li, no... Li Lu! How dare you attack a prefecture warrior? Are you courting death?”

“Despicable!”

Lu Li hurled out words of abuse. Li Qiang’s shout would have alerted prefecture warriors nearby. When Li Qiang was found dead, Lu Li would be questioned.

“Kill him—”

There was no turning back!

Lu Li decided to ignore the potential consequences and ordered the immortal’s body. Worst case scenario, he could run away as soon as Li Qiang was dead. Permitting him to stay alive would pose further trouble sooner or later.
