The sea was vast and boundless.
Lu Li and Wang Shun had been on the hunt for 13 days. They didn't know how far they had gone or where they were because there were no islands here. It was just an endless sea.
During the 13 days, Lu Li and Wang Shun tried many ways to keep the Elder of Yan Mountain here. Unfortunately, the Elder of Yan Mountain had many tricks up his sleeve. His cloaking skills were incredible. His shadow was the same as his real body, which could be easily misled.
On several occasions, Wang Shun tried to stall the Elder of Yan Mountain so that Lu Li could finish him off.
The Elder of Yan Mountain was smart. He never got entangled with Wang Shun. He always ran away at once, not giving Lu Li any chance to take action.
"We have to think of something. We can't just keep on going like this."
Lu Li murmured. The Elder of Yan Mountain had been flying toward the northeast. He must be trying to take them somewhere.
That place must have a complicated terrain, which would be good for him to run away.
Therefore, they must capture the Elder of Yan Mountain before they arrived. Once he got away, there would be endless troubles.
The Elder of Yan Mountain's cloaking skills were hard to guard against, not to mention that he would leak his whereabouts. What if he was hiding to assassinate Lu Li or Chi Xi-er?
"How about this!"
Lu Li thought about it and said in a low voice, "Later, I will keep attacking him. You go around and intercept him from the front. Don't attack him from the side.
Fly to the northeast and help me stall him for the time for one breath. "
"Okay!"
Wang Shun nodded. He leaped up and flew to the side.
Lu Li made his move. The Demon Slayer appeared in his hand and he swung it.
"Swish ~"
A ray of light appeared in the southwest sky. It tore apart the void, made two turns in the air and then moved forward.
The Elder of Yan Mountain was a bit far away. The move could not hit him.
But the might of heaven and earth in the move was strong. It must affect the Elder of Yan Mountain's speed.
"Bang!"
Indeed, the killing move did not hit Old Man Yan Mountain. It landed in the sea, creating a huge crack in the sea region below as if the sea had been split in half.
The seawater curled up to the two sides, forming a thousand feet tall wave that roared and surged towards both sides.
The Old Man of Yan Shan was indeed slowed down a bit, but because of Lu Li's attacks, he was slowed down as well. Therefore, the distance between the two of them was still about the same.
But Wang Shun had already circled around him. He was very fast. As long as he could stall for a few breaths of time, he would be able to catch up to Old Man Yan Shan. If he could stall for ten breaths of time, he would be able to circle to the front and intercept him.
"Rip!"
Lu Li kept attacking. Even though it would consume his stamina and divine energy, he had to buy time for Wang Shun. Therefore, Lu Li attacked again and again.
"Whoosh ~"
Shocking waves swept out again and again, like a tsunami.
The sea was sliced open again and again, and every time, it would be sliced open thousands of meters deep and tens of kilometers long. Its might was shocking.
Once, twice, five times!
On the other side, Wang Shun successfully arrived in front of Elder Yan Shan. He turned around, and a halberd appeared in his hand, sweeping up tens of thousands of water dragons as he charged at Elder Yan Shan.
This was the True Meaning of Water. Its might wasn't particularly strong, but it was the best way to tie someone down.
He knew that he could not kill the Old Man of Yan Mountain. He only hoped that he could stall him for a breath's time so that Lu Li could catch up with him easily.
"Courting death!"
The Old Man of Yan Shan bellowed in rage. Suddenly, a dark air came out of him. Then, he became illusionary. He turned into a black beast and dashed toward Wang Shun.
"This is … the energy of a beast!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. No wonder he found the Old Man of Yan Shan's words awkward. Finally, the Old Man of Yan Shan had revealed his identity.
The energy he had was similar to that of the Deaf Taoist. It was highly likely that he was a beast.
"Eh?"
A dangerous aura emerged from the depths of Wang Shun's soul. He quickly stopped moving and swung his halberd. Countless water dragons whizzed over, surrounding his body and forming a shield of water dragons around him.
"Swish, swish ~"
Many more water dragons flew toward the Old Man of Yan Shan. Unfortunately, the Old Man of Yan Shan's body had become illusionary. The water dragons whooshed past him but he was not affected at all.
If the water dragons could not affect the Old Man of Yan Shan, then Wang Shun's shield made of water dragons would be pointless.
The Old Man of Yan Shan pierced through the shield easily. He transformed back to his original form. His hands turned into claws and he reached at Wang Shun's chest.
"Die!"
Wang Shun did not dodge. He swung his halberd at the Old Man of Yan Shan's head.
He had made up his mind. If the Old Man of Yan Shan did not step back, he would perish together with him.
Lu Li would be here soon. He would like to see how the Old Man of Yan Shan would die.
Lu Li was overthinking …
The Old Man of Yan Shan's claws dug into Lu Li's chest. Lu Li's supreme Relic armor could not stop the Old Man of Yan Shan's claws.
When Lu Li's halberd swept across, the Old Man of Yan Shan's head strangely retracted into his body. The halberd that Lu Li thought was a sure kill missed its target!
"Hoy!"
Lu Li had rushed over. Sensing that something was wrong, Lu Li waved his hands. Horrifying force in heaven and earth pressed down.
The distance was not that close, but Lu Li did not care anymore. Otherwise, Wang Shun would die in the next moment.
"Buzzing ~"
The Old Man of Yan Shan could have killed Wang Shun. But at that moment, he turned into a shadow. Then, the space trembled and he fled into the distance in a blur.
He knew that if he wasted one more moment, he would be completely suppressed by the force in space. By then, when Lu Li caught up with him, it would be the end for him.
"Poof …"
Blood gushed out from Wang Shun's mouth. He watched as the shadow in front of him crumbled bit by bit. His eyes were filled with terror.
If Lu Li had not done anything, Wang Shun would have died. If the claw were to wave upward, Wang Shun believed that not even an Almighty God could save him.
Lu Li flew over and grabbed Wang Shun. Wang Shun took out some healing pellets and sat on the mountain with his legs crossed. He said with a bitter smile, "I am sorry, Lord Lu. I am useless."
"It is not your fault. Treat your wounds."
Lu Li shook his head. He looked at the shadow in the distance and frowned.
The Old Man of Yan Shan seemed to be a beast from the Region of Doom, but he had many strange skills that beasts did not have.
Was this man a beast or some other strange race?
Keep going!
Lu Li could not turn back now that he had come this far. He had to grit his teeth and go on.
Wang Shun was healing on the side. His organs were crushed by the Old Man of Yan Shan. He was seriously injured.
Another five days passed. Lu Li still could not catch up with the Old Man of Yan Shan. Today, he finally knew where the Old Man of Yan Shan was going.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Lu Li put on a serious expression. He asked Wang Shun who was still healing, "Wang Shun, stop healing. Look where we are."
Wang Shun's wounds were more than half healed. He opened his eyes and looked around. His expression grew solemn. He said with surprise, "This is the Sinful Abyss. Why is the Old Man of Yan Shan here?
The space here is unstable. We can collapse if we are not careful.
He brought us here. If we attack too fiercely, we will be strangled by the twisting force in space. He can't run away, either … "
The Old Man of Yan Shan stopped. He turned to Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, don't you want to hunt me down?
If you have the guts, come with me to the Sinful Abyss. I will make sure you will not be able to return! "
