Lu Li already had his doubts. Why was the leader doing the search so casually?
The Deaf Taoist was a beast. The leader should be able to sense something. The investigation should not be so simple.
It seemed that the enemy had gotten all the information about Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist as well.
Therefore, the leader must have known who the Deaf Taoist was. He pretended not to notice and went back to mobilize a large number of prefecture warriors.
Lu Li asked the Deaf Taoist to stop the Beast of the Void at once. Then, Lu Li let the Deaf Taoist back into the Beast of the Void. He took out two Wrath of Thunder and began to carve a formation in the air.
On the other hand, Lu Li released some Feather Wind to fill up the space around him. He was worried that some powerful warriors would sneak over and kill him.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
The hundreds of miles of space were covered in an instant. Dozens of Beasts of the Void were approaching. Many prefecture warriors swarmed out and dashed toward the Beast of the Void where Lu Li was.
Fifteen miles, ten miles, three miles!
At that moment, a glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. The formation he had carved was complete. A small golden door appeared in midair. Lu Li sneaked in like a flash and threw the two Wrath of Thunder pellets away.
"Swish, swish ~"
Almost at the same time, the small golden door collapsed and so did the Wrath of Thunder.
The moment the Wrath of Thunder exploded, the Beast of the Void was shredded into dust. Countless thunderbolts dashed to all sides as if tens of thousands of dragons were roaring.
"Ah?
Run — "
"What!"
"Good heavens!"
"Run …"
All the prefecture warriors were frightened. Many of them shouted. However, before they could turn around, most of them were enveloped by the thunderbolts.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
The prefecture warriors following behind were luckier. That being said, this would be a nightmare for the rest of their lives.
Thousands of prefecture warriors came today. Apart from the hundreds at the back, the ones at the front were all devoured by the thunderbolts.
Soon … their bodies were ablaze. Their armors were shattered, their bodies were charred, and their bones were turned into dust.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
The hundreds of prefectural soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were so frightened that they rushed underground. Their faces turned pale as they stared at the lightning flashing and whistling in the air and the black powder drifting down from the sky.
Crack, crack, crack ~
A Deity World's almighty expert's teeth were chattering. Although he had survived, he knew that the Sha Tian Prefecture's Prefecture Master would not let him off.
Because he was the one who had taken the initiative to mobilize the army after receiving the news.
He had initially thought that a few thousand Official Army soldiers could easily apprehend an ordinary fugitive, not to mention that there were more than ten Almighties from the Celestial World.
He was too eager to make a contribution. The death of some prefecture soldiers was not a big deal, but it was a big deal that the people the Craftsmen's Sect wanted to kill had escaped.
"Wow ~"
There was a small city a hundred miles away. The fact that so many Official Army soldiers had rushed out of the city had long attracted their attention.
When the Thunder Dragon swept through the sky, everyone in the city was alarmed.
Countless martial artists rushed over and saw the hellish scene. They saw countless prefecture army soldiers being turned into dust. They saw the Divine World's formidable martial artists not being able to withstand the domineering thunder and lightning. Those martial artists were all stunned.
Official army!
For regular immortals, this was an irresistible force. Anyone that dared to offend the official army could forget about living in this prefecture. If the official army put a bounty on the official army's head, death was inevitable.
Now, someone had killed thousands of official army soldiers, including some mighty warriors from the Divinity?
Was this a declaration of war against the Sha Tian Prefecture?
Was this a challenge to the authority of the Sha Tian Prefecture?
"Buzzing ~"
The Teleportation Formation in the small city glowed. Dozens of powerful warriors came out. The remaining official army dropped to their knees in fear when they saw a brown-haired old man. "Chief, my lords!"
Huang Yu, the Chief of the Sha Tian Prefecture, did not pay attention to those official army soldiers. The dozen warriors that came with him used psychic power to check the south. When they saw the remaining thunderbolts, they were taken aback.
"Whoosh ~"
They flew up and arrived. Huang Yu took a look and saw the mighty warrior from the Divinity. He shouted, "Wang Ming, where is he?"
Thousands of official army soldiers and over a dozen mighty warriors from the Divinity had died. Huang Yu did not care. He only cared if Lu Li was dead.
Seeing Huang Yu and the others, Wang Ming hurriedly knelt down and reported, "Greetings, Master and elders. Huang Yu is incompetent. That person used a strange divine spell to escape, and then detonated two strange treasures. It seems to be … Thunder God's Fury?
Those two artifacts released many thunderbolts and killed many of us.
I, Wang Ming, am useless. Please punish me, Chief. "
"Bastard!"
Huang Yu flew into a rage when he heard that Lu Li had run away. He yelled, "Who told you to mobilize the official army?
Didn't I tell you to report as soon as the target is found? "
"This subordinate reported it immediately."
Wang Ming knew he was in trouble. He made up his mind. "Chief, you did not tell us not to do anything. I thought he was just an average warrior. In case something bad happened, I mobilized the official army to take him down. Who knew …"
"How dare you quibble?"
Huang Yu flew into a rage. He slapped at Wang Ming with a black glare.
Wang Ming did not even have time to react before he was smashed into the ground and turned into a puddle of blood …
"Tell me everything you have found out. Do not leave out any details."
Huang Yu said to the remaining hundreds of official army soldiers coldly. Then, he waved to someone next to him and said, "Yan, organize someone to continue the investigation."
One of the warriors flew away. The hundreds of warriors began to talk. Huang Yu listened carefully. He was confused.
Didn't the Craftsmen's Sect say that some powerful warriors had fled with Lu Li?
According to the report, Lu Li only had a beast from the Asmodian Region with him. No other powerful warriors showed up.
What was more, Lu Li had relied on the Wrath of Thunder to kill the thousands of official army soldiers. He did not have any powerful warriors to help him.
"Whoosh ~"
In any case, he must report back to the Craftsmen's Sect at once.
Huang Yu left with his warriors. After several rounds of teleportation, he found the Deputy Chief of the Department of Warfare of the Craftsmen's Sect and told him everything in detail.
The Vice Hall Master then passed on the news to Elder Leopard. Elder Leopard was currently in the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, playing chess with an elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries. When he received the news, he was slightly startled.
Without the help of powerful warriors, how could Lu Li run so far in such a short time?
Patriarch Leopard thought for a moment and asked the Great Patriarch of the Cabinet of Mystery who was playing chess, "Mou, what do you think?"
Patriarch Mou of the Cabinet of Mystery had a goatee. He looked more like a fortune teller. Closing his eyes, Patriarch Mou stroke his beard and said, "If I am right, Lu Li must have learned an ancient skill called Void Traversal. He should not be at the Sha Tian Province now.
If he has arrived at a prefecture nearby, then I am right! "
"Void Traversal?"
Elder Leopard blinked in confusion. He thought for a moment and said, "I remember that this kind of divine technique was once created by the Strange Doors Sect?
The Strange Doors Sect has been wiped out for hundreds of thousands of years. These skills have been lost. Where did Lu Li learn them? "
Patriarch Mou smiled. "If he really knows Void Traversal and he has the Wrath of Thunder, it will be difficult for you to hunt him down!"
"Difficult?"
Patriarch Leopard stood up and sneered. "If the Craftsmen's Sect wants to hunt someone down, even a supreme warrior in the Divinity … will die, not to mention Lu Li!"
