Lu Li had been planning from the very beginning. He had to destroy the avatar of God of Wings, which was the only chance for him to survive.
God of Wings was cunning and would not come close to Lu Li. If Lu Li did not use some tricks, God of Wings would not come until the Slayer's blood ran out.
Therefore, Lu Li had played the trick of injuring himself to gain her confidence. As a matter of fact, the three Semi-God Realm warriors could hardly hurt him. Not only did he have the Quasi Relic armor, but he also had the Dragon Armor and a strong body.
Lu Li did not show the Dragon Armor and pretended to be injured. Just now, he used the Transcendent State to make his soul dormant and pretend to be in a coma just to lure God of Wings over.
Lu Li was only at the Earth Immortal Realm. God of Wings might have overestimated Lu Li's defensive abilities, but he must have been seriously injured.
God of Wings did not know that Lu Li's defensive abilities were impressive. The Slayer's blood had enhanced his. Although he seemed to be on the brink of death, he was not fatally wounded.
"Swish —"
While they were talking, Lu Li had already taken action. He moved his cold saber. He had used the Slayer's move. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was controlled by him and swept toward God of Wings along the cold saber. Zi Lian's body was suppressed at once.
To kill the avatar of God of Wings, Lu Li must destroy Zi Lian's body. Zi Lian was his friend. But at the moment, Lu Li was determined!
Maybe … Zi Lian's soul was still in the body, but it was a puppet. The body was no longer under her control, but God of Wings.
In other words, Zi Lian was no longer Zi Lian. She was a weapon of the enemy, a skeleton. Lu Li had been through many things. How could he not see that?
"Ah, ah, ah!"
God of Wings screamed in a shrill voice. Waves of soul vibration entered Lu Li's mind.
God of Wings was still struggling. She tried to stop Lu Li with soul attacks.
Unfortunately, Lu Li had a silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond. He was immune to soul attacks. God of Wings' soul vibration could not hurt Lu Li's soul.
Seeing that the blood-red ray of sword light was about to reach her, Zi Lian was unwilling to admit defeat.
She had planned for so long, expended so much energy, and even helped Zi Lian raise her cultivation level. She had also perfectly controlled this physical body, but in the end, she still failed on the verge of success?
Sha Di's killer move was too terrifying. The terrifying suppressive force coming from all directions, not to mention that she was only controlling a puppet.
If Lu Li had reached the immortal realm and could use this move perfectly, not even her own body would be able to stand it.
"There's no other way!"
In a split second, the God of Wings sighed helplessly. Ordinary people might not know much about the Sha Di, but she was fortunate enough to obtain an ancient book that contained the life records of the Sha Di and some other powerful beings.
She knew how horrifying the move created by the Slayer was. Even though Lu Li could not use it perfectly, one avatar of hers was enough.
"Lu Li, then let's die together!"
The God of Wings' shrill cry echoed in the wilderness.
Since her avatar was destined to be destroyed and she could not get the Wicked Bead, she had to fight with Lu Li to make him pay for destroying two of her avatars.
"Buzzing ~"
All of a sudden, Zi Lian's head glowed. Following that, a shadow flew out. That shadow was the statue of the God of Wings. In the shadow's eyes were hatred and ferocity. He shouted, "Lu Li, go to hell!"
Lu Li did not look at the shadow of the God of Wings. Instead, he stared at Zi Lian.
Because at this moment, tears fell from Zi Lian 'er's eyes, and a familiar expression appeared in those beautiful eyes.
Clearly, the God of Wings' avatar had come out from Zi Lian's body. For now, Zi Lian's soul could control her body again.
"I am sorry!"
Zi Lian said. Then, she looked into Lu Li's eyes as if she was trying to engrave Lu Li in the depth of her soul.
From Zi Lian's body came out a glaring white glare. Her graceful body was swallowed up by flames and then, with a "boom", she fell apart …
"No —"
The God of Wings' avatar had just left. She was about to use a powerful skill to kill Lu Li. Unexpectedly, there was a fire in her backyard.
Zi Lian had already reached the Earthly Immortal Realm. At this moment, when she suddenly self-destructed, the powerful explosion caused the space to distort. Her avatar was instantly shattered.
"Boom!"
A surge of air swept across. Once again, Lu Li was smashed away. But this time, he released the Dragon Armor out of instinct. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand the impact.
"I am sorry?"
Lu Li was smashed away like a sack. Many bones in his body were broken. Blood gushed out from his mouth. But he did not mind.
His mind was filled with Zi Lian 'er's guilty gaze at the end, that poignant and beautiful face, and that resolute expression …
He was still being pushed back by the impact. But he stared at the center of the explosion. He stared at the mist of blood. Somehow, his heart ached.
He remembered the first time he met Zi Lian. Back then, he was at the Ice Mountain. He sneaked into the mountain alone. Back then, Zi Lian was like a goddess. Apart from Lu Ling, she was the most beautiful woman Lu Li had ever seen.
Back then, Lu Li had the extravagant hope that if he could have a woman like her in his life, he could die without regrets.
Unfortunately, due to some coincidences, they became friends. But they never had the chance to talk to each other or get closer.
Maybe it was because of Zi Lian's pride, or maybe it was because Lu Li did not have the courage to fall in love. Either way, they drifted apart.
Either way!
Zi Lian was the most important woman in Lu Li's life. Now, she had turned into a mist of blood.
She had passed away. Not even her body could be preserved …
"Boom!"
Lu Li was smashed into a mountain. Once again, he was buried alive. He felt weak in his soul.
The passing of Zi Lian made him feel lost and heavy. At this moment, he could not muster any strength.
The effect of the Slayer's blood would wear off soon. Lu Li stayed in the mountain, absent-minded. There was only one thought in his mind — he was tired and he wanted to have a good sleep.
"Whoosh ~"
From the distance, Lu Li was startled by two noises. Then, two streaks of psychic power came over. Lu Li was about to fall into a deep sleep. But at this moment, he woke up.
"Buzzing ~"
He used the last bit of his strength to take the Wicked Bead out from his Interspatial Ring. Then, the Wicked Bead glowed and he vanished into the mountain.
"Heal me!"
In the inner hall of the Wicked Bead, Lu Li said this to Master of Haechi and then passed out.
Master of Haechi was frightened to see Lu Li in such a miserable state. He took out top-level healing pellets and fed them to Lu Li at once.
"Whoosh!"
From the distance came two people. They had been using psychic power to keep an eye on Lu Li. Making sure that Lu Li was in the Wicked Bead and that there was nothing else around, the two finally emboldened themselves and flew over.
It was Yan Gu and Chen Tianxian.
As a matter of fact, they did not go far because Lu Li did not go after them.
The two explosions had piqued their curiosity. They faintly heard God of Wings's screams. Therefore, they decided to come and take a look.
Things … seemed to be going well.
The body controlled by God of Wings had exploded. God of Wings's last words indicated that the avatar of God of Wings was gone.
It seemed that both Lu Li and God of Wings were wounded.
Just now, Yan Gu and Chen Tianxian could see clearly with psychic power that Lu Li was on the verge of dying.
