"Hello, Young Master Lu!"
After Zi Lian caught up with him, she actually stopped. She wiped off the sweat on her face and forced a smile to greet Lu Li.
Lu Li secretly felt grateful. Zi Lian must be afraid that Yu Lingxu would kill him so she stopped on purpose to be friendly.
Looking at Zi Lian's blushing face, Lu Li nodded gratefully and said, "Hello, Lady Zi. Hurry up. Many people have gone up."
Zi Lian glanced at Yu Lingxu who was behind her, nodded to Lu Li and continued to stride upwards.
She looked at Yu Lingxu. Her meaning was clear, warning him not to act recklessly.
Yu Lingxu didn't act recklessly. He just stared at Lu Li ferociously and followed Zi Lian up in strides.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Lu Li exhaled. Luckily, Zi Lian was here. Otherwise, Yu Lingxu would have made a move.
Lu Li was alone. Yu Lingxu was at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm and a Sixth-rank Bloodline Warrior. It would be too easy for him to be killed.
"Swish, swish ~"
All of a sudden, a slight noise came out. Lu Li suddenly looked up and saw a tiny gust of wind coming at him.
"External release of Xuan Energy!"
Lu Li's eyes instantly became cold. Yu Lingxu had made a move, and it was a shameless sneak attack.
The external release of Xuan Energy was too fast. Lu Li didn't even think about it. The ring on his hand glowed and the Mighty Heaven Halberd appeared in his hand. At the same time, he rolled down on the ground.
"Boom!"
The gust of wind hit the Mighty Heaven Halberd. A surge of powerful force came through and Lu Li was knocked away.
His body tumbled down the stone stairs, and in an instant, he was smashed down dozens of steps.
"Damn it!"
Lu Li only managed to stabilize himself after he rolled down nearly 100 stairs. He climbed up with dirt all over his face. His eyes were filled with anger.
If it were not for the fact that he reacted quickly, he would be dead by now.
Lu Li secretly shouted, "Yu Lingxu, don't give me a chance or I will kill you!"
Rustle, rustle, rustle ~
Several people happened to rush up at the same time. They smiled knowingly when they saw Lu Li's embarrassing state.
Lu Li got up and took a look. He was even more furious. Ye Yuhan and the others had all come up. He really was the last one.
Ye Yuhan and the others didn't stop. They climbed up quickly. Lu Li rubbed his aching arms and followed them, clenching his teeth.
Eight thousand, nine thousand!
Lu Li could barely crawl anymore. He sat down and rested for a while. Looking at the stairs that were about to reach the peak, he made up his mind to release his Bloodline Skill.
At this moment, it would take him at most the time it took for an incense stick to burn to reach the peak. The God's Bloodline Skill could last for an hour, which was more than enough for him to reach the peak and find a chance to leave this place.
The silver dragon mark on his back glowed. Lu Li's muscles swelled and his eyes glowed in silver light.
At this moment, he was wearing the Ghost Mask, revealing only a pair of silver eyes. He looked extremely strange, like a humanoid Xuan Beast.
"Go!"
Lu Li immediately felt the weight on his shoulders lessen. He didn't walk straight, but climbed up quickly on his hands and feet. In an instant, he had rushed up 200 to 300 steps.
Five hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred …
The force of gravity on his shoulders was so strong that Lu Li found it hard to breathe. It was at least more than 100,000 pounds.
Seeing that there were only 100 steps left, Lu Li let out a beast-like roar and rushed up.
Finally.
Lu Li stood on the peak of the mountain and the gravity disappeared. He sat down on the ground, gasping for air.
After resting for a while, he cast his gaze towards the front, searching for the silhouettes of Autumn Snow and the others.
"Um …"
The peak of the mountain was wide, but Lu Li could not see anyone because of the thick white mist.
All he could see were four cold iron chains piercing through the mist. There was a faint glow on the chains.
The Golden Coffin in midair looked even more majestic from here. The coffin was surrounded by a silver glow as if there was mercury flowing on it, making it even more strange and mysterious.
"There is a saber!"
Lu Li's eyes suddenly glowed. He saw a saber stuck in the Golden Coffin, half of which was in the coffin.
The saber was golden in color, emitting a strange qi and energy. The patterns and runes on it were glistening. One look and Lu Li could tell that it was no ordinary weapon.
"Can it be the Peerless Divine Weapon used by Dragon King?
Otherwise, how could it be stuck in the coffin? "
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. What was the rank of the Peerless Divine Weapon used by a Human Sovereign Realm warrior?
The ninth rank of the Heaven Grade?
Or above the Heaven Grade?
"Where are they?
There are so many of them. Why is there no movement? "
Lu Li looked back to the surroundings with a solemn expression on his face.
Eight of them came up but nobody was there.
The peak of the mountain was only so big. It was impossible that there was no movement at all.
"Little White!"
Lu Li called in a low voice. He looked around, worried. He hoped nothing bad would happen to Little White.
"Whoosh!"
A ray of white light came out from the mist directly toward Lu Li. Who else could it be but Little White?
Lu Li was overjoyed. He stood up and hugged Little White.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White had a yellowed parchment in its mouth. It threw the parchment into Lu Li's hands and squealed affectionately.
Lu Li was even more overjoyed. He laughed and said, "Little White, well done!"
The treasures on the peak must not be average. The parchment might be a profound Xuan Skill.
Lu Li put it into his Interspatial Ring without checking it. After making sure that Little White was not hurt, he asked in a low voice, "Little White, where are Bai Qiuxue and the others?
How come they are not here? "
Little White looked into the mist. Lu Li frowned.
Little White meant that they were in the mist. Then why didn't they make any noise?
"Little White, show me the way!"
Lu Li thought that since Little White could go in and out of the mist freely, he must be fine as well. Little White jumped out of Lu Li's arms and rushed into the mist.
Lu Li dared not to go too fast. He took out his Mighty Heaven Halberd and walked into the mist step by step.
The mist was so thick that visibility was less than two or three feet. Lu Li asked Little White to slow down and walked forward step by step.
"Woo, woo, woo ~"
After walking for more than 20 meters, Lu Li suddenly heard a low, strange sound.
The noises were like ghost noises lingering in his ears, like the underworld sounds from hell.
Lu Li stopped. He didn't dare to move forward. His instinct told him that he was in danger. A fatal warning came from the depth of his soul.
"Little White, come back!"
Lu Li shouted. Little White flew back from the distance. Lu Li's eyes flickered. He was hesitating whether he should move on or not.
"Ah ~"
Right at that moment, a miserable scream came out. Lu Li's expressions changed.
It was Bai Qiuxue's voice. Judging from the scream, it seemed … Bai Qiuxue was suffering.
"Ah … ah …"
More miserable screams came out intermittently. Lu Li's expressions kept changing. He was struggling with himself. In the end, he made up his mind and asked Little White to lead the way.
Bai Qiuxue once said on the winding mountain road that it was not her moral principle to abandon her teammates for the sake of profit. How could Lu Li stand by and do nothing?
"Woo, woo!"
The further he went, the louder the ghost noises were. Lu Li felt his eardrums were hurting and he felt dizzy.
However, he could faintly see some people ahead of him. He had to press on.
"Um …"
After another four or five feet, Lu Li finally saw clearly. He found Bai Qiuxue and the others. He also saw Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan, Du Ziling, Yu Lingxu and all the others.
"Retreat —"
Looking at the others, the first thing that came to his mind was to retreat.
Everyone was entangled by some kind of tiny black vines. Apart from Bai Qiuxue's miserable screams, the others had passed out. Their faces were pale. The situation was not good.
"Hiss, hiss …"
Lu Li's reaction was too slow. The tiny black vines scuttled out from underground like poisonous snakes and entangled his body. The ghost noises in his ears grew louder.
Lu Li's eyes rolled up. He felt dizzy and passed out.
