Lu Li had been chasing after the six for a while. He had been studying for a while but he did not make much progress.
He had not figured out how to mobilize the energy from his 720 acupoints for defense.
That being said, killing Patriarch Zhao had boosted his confidence. Even though there were five warriors at the peak of the Second Tribulation here, Lu Li was not afraid. Instead, he was filled with fighting spirit.
Maybe …
Only a high-intensity battle and a life and death crisis could stimulate his potential and allow him to mobilize his energy.
He had been through this many times. Every time, he could make a breakthrough in the face of a life-or-death crisis. This time, he wanted to have a try.
"Charge!"
Gong Zizai and the others wasted no more time. The five of them fanned out. Gong Zizai charged at Lu Li from the front and the other four flanked him from the left and right.
This time, the five of them had made up their minds. Either Lu Li or they would die. If they could not kill Lu Li, they would not be able to hold their heads high at the Black Mountain and would become a joke at the Omen Island.
They all had enemies outside. Death would be their only outcome after they left the Omen Island.
"Whoosh ~"
The five were faster than Lu Li. In an instant, they had reached him.
Almost at the same time, Lu Li moved. He could not allow the five to surround him. He could not stand five warriors at the peak of the Second Tribulation.
Therefore, he dashed to the left. It just so happened that two warriors were coming at him. The two unsheathed their weapons and hacked at Lu Li.
One of them had a spear and the other a dagger. The spear and the dagger were surrounded by airstreams and glistening runes. They seemed to be quite intimidating.
Since Lu Li was dashing toward them, he could not dodge their attacks. He had to face them head-on.
He swept away the spear coming from the left with one hand and punched at the dagger coming from the right with the other.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With two muffled sounds, the spear was knocked away by Lu Li. The dagger, on the other hand, was more agile. It moved in an arc and cut Lu Li's wrist.
Lu Li's arm was cut open. The dagger was clearly a Primordial Treasure and the warrior was strong. The flesh on Lu Li's arm was cut open and his bones could be seen.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li paid no attention to his wounds. The Worms of the Void swarmed out from the mountain. The Worms of the Void expanded and swarmed toward the two beside him.
The man with the dagger was right next to Lu Li. He could not dodge and was enveloped by the Worms of the Void.
The other person's reaction was faster and he quickly retreated. He had heard of how powerful these insects were, so he naturally avoided them if he could avoid them.
His speed was very fast, and he had retreated hundreds of miles in an instant. It would be very difficult for the insects to catch up.
"Hah ~"
Gong Zizai, who was chasing after Lu Li, made his move. He suddenly punched at Lu Li.
Wrong … It wasn't a single fist shadow, but countless fist shadows. The fist shadows overlapped and looked like a real fist.
The fist shadow was powerful. Cracks appeared in the space and there was a noise that could crack rocks and gold. The fist shadow was so fast that it reached Lu Li in an instant and landed on his back.
Bang!
Lu Li felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. He spat out blood and flew forward like a kite with a broken string.
He suddenly turned around in midair and saw four people coming at him like arrows. Warriors at the peak of the second tribulation could react fast and move fast.
One of them had been invaded by Worms of the Void. He was frozen on the spot, trying to contain the worms.
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
All four of them used ranged attacks which were weaker than close-range attacks. That being said, they were all at the peak of the second tribulation and their ranged attacks were not to be underestimated.
Gong Zizai's fist shadow had already injured Lu Li, which was evident.
That being said, the fist shadow clearly contained Profound Meaning or else it wouldn't be so powerful.
A fist shadow, a ray of sword light, a spear shadow and an axe shadow caught up with Lu Li almost at the same time.
Lu Li had just regained his balance after he was smashed away. He could only manage to dodge. He twisted his body to dodge the fist shadow, but he was hit by the other three ranged attacks.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu Li was smashed away again. The three attacks were not as powerful as the fist shadow but they were still powerful. Lu Li spat out another mouthful of blood.
Before Lu Li could come back to his senses, the four had caught up with him and launched another four ranged attacks.
Lu Li complained to himself. Gong Zizai and the other three had learned their lesson. They stayed away from him for fear of being attacked by Worms of the Void. Therefore, they kept attacking him from a distance.
No matter how strong Lu Li's body was, he would die if he were to be hit continuously.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The four kept on attacking. Lu Li was not as fast as them so he could not run away.
He could only dodge with difficulty. Every time, before he could come back to his senses, the four would attack him again …
The four's attacks were ferocious. Everywhere Lu Li went, hills would be flattened and deep ravines would appear. Rivers would be diverted and forests would be flattened.
Not far away, there were people passing by. Seeing the power of the attacks, they ran away in fear.
"I can't go on like this!"
After being attacked for an hour, Lu Li's internal organs were seriously injured. His body had strong healing abilities and he was healing himself all the time.
Lu Li himself took some healing pellets, but his injuries were getting worse.
When his injuries reached a certain point, his defense and speed would be greatly reduced. That would be the end of Lu Li.
Lu Li made up his mind. He began to release Worms of the Void from the mountain. This time, it was not golden Worms of the Void, but regular Worms of the Void.
The number of golden Worms of the Void was small, only about one hundred million. However, there were hundreds of billions of regular Worms of the Void. Lu Li was not afraid of running out of Worms of the Void. He sent out more and more Worms of the Void, covering an area with a radius of several miles.
The four stopped their attacks and looked at the Worms of the Void with fear.
That warrior at the peak of the second tribulation with the dagger had not caught up with Lu Li yet.
This meant that the Worms of the Void were tricky and could not be killed or suppressed easily.
"Swish, swish ~"
Lu Li soon released tens of billions of Worms of the Void, covering an area with a radius of more than three miles.
Since the four stopped their attacks, Lu Li could take a breather to recover from his injuries.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The four soon launched their attacks. But not at Lu Li. They were trying to kill the Worms of the Void.
Regular Worms of the Void were too slow to catch up with the four. The four could dodge and kill the Worms of the Void.
"Eh …"
What happened next shocked Lu Li. The other three's attacks were ineffective against the Worms of the Void. Gong Zizai took out a mirror and shot out rays of white light that burned the Worms of the Void to death.
He was not fast, but he had the ability to kill the Worms of the Void.
"Nice!"
The four were overjoyed as well. The Worms of the Void could not catch up with them. As long as they could kill the Worms of the Void, Lu Li would be at his wit's end.
"Fight back!"
A glint of determination rose in Lu Li's eyes. He must fight back as soon as possible and kill one or two of them. Otherwise, he would suffer a crushing defeat.
