"Boom, boom, boom!"
The four of them had been attacking Lu Li for more than four hours. More than 10 billion Worms of the Void had been killed. Lu Li was covered in wounds. Even a piece of iron that was over a million years old would have a mark when being attacked by several warriors at the peak of the Second Tribulation.
At the moment, Lu Li was hiding in a valley that had turned into an abyss. The Worms of the Void were in the abyss while Lu Li was lying in the abyss by himself. Gong Zizai and the other three warriors were floating in the air and attacking Lu Li constantly.
Since Lu Li didn't dodge, it was easier for them to attack. Gong Zizai didn't even want to go on killing the Worms of the Void because Lu Li seemed to be in a miserable state. He seemed to be seriously injured and could die at any moment.
They were amazed by Lu Li's physical strength. If it were anyone else, even a warrior at the peak of the Second Tribulation would have died under their continuous attacks.
Lu Li was lying on the ground. The skin on his back was rotten. His bones could be seen in many places. His injuries were serious.
But his eyes were closed and he was motionless. He seemed to have passed out.
What Gong Zizai and Lu Li didn't know was that — thirty thousand miles away, Patriarch Chen was waiting.
Patriarch Chen mobilized the most powerful scout of the Cloud Mountain to keep an eye on Lu Li's situation.
"Whoosh!"
That scout had just arrived. He was invisible. When he walked, there was no sound of wind or ripple in space.
He suddenly appeared next to Patriarch Chen, showing an average-looking face. He cupped his fists and said, "Patriarch Chen, Lu Li's injuries are serious. He is on the verge of death!"
"Oh?"
Patriarch Chen, who was sitting with his legs crossed, suddenly opened his eyes. He thought about it and said, "Let's go over there and take a look!"
Patriarch Chen gave out a white glare. He was invisible as well. He sneaked toward Lu Li with the scout.
Neither of them dared to stay close. Gong Zizai and the others were at the peak of the Second Tribulation. They would be discovered easily.
"Go and check out the surroundings. See if there are people hiding nearby to watch the battle."
Thousands of miles away from Lu Li, Patriarch Chen waved his hand. The scout left in a gust of wind.
Patriarch Chen sat with his legs crossed again. He didn't use psychic power. He just sat quietly.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, the scout came back and reported, "There is no one nearby. Patriarch Chen, are you going to do something?"
"No hurry …"
Patriarch Chen waved his hand and said, "I just sensed it. Lu Li's breath of life is still strong. I don't think he will die so soon."
"But!"
The scout said with confusion, "I sensed that Lu Li is lying on the ground motionlessly, letting Gong Zizai and the other three attack him. The injury on his back is very serious.
If he's not heavily injured, why didn't he dodge? "
"I don't know!"
Elder Chen shook his head and said, "I won't make a move until the very last moment. Once I make a move and kill Gong Zi Zai's group of four, it might bring a lot of trouble to Fairy."
"Alright!"
Since Elder Chen had made his decision, the scout naturally wouldn't say anything else.
He frowned. If Lu Li was so vigorous, why didn't he run away?
Why was he lying there and letting Gong Zizai and the other three attack him?
Was he trying to lure Gong Zizai and the others into close combat?
…
As a matter of fact, Gong Zizai and the others did have the same idea. There were several times when the four of them wanted to rush down and kill Lu Li.
If the four of them could get close to Lu Li and release several moves at the same time, Lu Li would be dead.
But for many times, the four of them resisted the urge. They also suspected that this was a trick and that Lu Li was trying to trick them to get closer.
They were a bunch of wily old foxes who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They had patience. They resisted the urge to attack. After all, in a couple of hours at most, Lu Li would be killed.
This was not a trick!
Lu Li wasn't trying to lure the four to attack him. He was concentrating on how to mobilize the energy in his acupoints to increase his defense.
After a few hours, he had some confidence in his heart. He tried to mobilize the energy, and he succeeded.
Every time he punched, he could mobilize the energy. He controlled the divine energy to run around in his body and mimicked punching.
In this way, he could mobilize the energy in his acupoints. But when the energy was mobilized, he didn't know how to increase his defense.
The energy was running around in his body, but it didn't increase his defense at all.
At every moment, there were attacks crashing down on him. His injuries were constantly increasing, and he could already smell the scent of the Grim Reaper.
Time moved on. Two hours later, Lu Li's breath of life began to weaken.
He was seriously injured and bleeding. It would be strange if his breath of life could not be weakened.
At this moment, Patriarch Chen opened his eyes. Lu Li hadn't moved and his breath of life was so weak. Patriarch Chen was at his wit's end.
Patriarch Chen had to do something or Lu Li would die soon.
"Go and check again. I will do it when I am sure there is no one nearby!"
Patriarch Chen waved his hand and the scout sneaked away.
Even if Patriarch Chen were to take action, he didn't want others to know. He wanted to kill the four quietly so that the information wouldn't be leaked and Fairy Tianyun wouldn't be in trouble.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, the scout came back and reported, "Patriarch Chen, I am sure there is no one around. You can do it now.
After you do it, I will check around. If someone sees you, I will let you know. "
"No need ~"
Patriarch Chen smiled. He shook his head and said, "I don't have to do it. Lu Li … this punk can always surprise us."
"Eh?"
The scout blinked in confusion. Patriarch Chen thought about it and said, "Go and check on your own. I don't know the specifics. Anyways … this punk is not going to die!"
"Okay!"
Lu Li flew out and turned invisible. He sneaked toward Lu Li carefully. He stopped when he was three miles away from Lu Li and used his special skill to sense what was going on.
"What?"
Soon, the scout was taken aback. Lu Li was no longer lying on his stomach. He was lying on his back, and he still looked satisfied. The attacks from the four of them landed on him, but they couldn't inflict any damage on him.
On the contrary … his wounds were recovering quickly!
"How is this possible?"
The scout was confused. Lu Li was clearly about to die. How come he was able to withstand the attacks by turning over?
Could it be that the attacks from Gong Zizai and the other three were fake?
They were all illusions so they could not hurt Lu Li?
"What is going on?"
Gong Zizai and the other three noticed something was wrong as well. Their attacks were as powerful as before but they didn't inflict any harm on Lu Li. They could tell with psychic power that Lu Li's wounds were recovering fast …
"River, river!"
