Had Zhangsun Wuque and the Zhangsun Family lost their minds?
Just as many people in the city were preparing to evacuate, they saw a strange scene — Zhangsun Wuque had actually chopped off his own hand. Three of the remaining people tumbled in midair, while seven of them immediately flew down and sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless. A few of them were still shivering, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
What was going on?
A moment ago, the 11 of them were chasing after Lu Li. How come the tables were turned?
Lu Li didn't do anything. Had they lost their minds?
"Ah!"
One of the three tumbling in midair cried out in pain. He smashed into a castle on the ground. After he smashed the castle, he rushed up again. Then, he turned into a skeleton in a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Ah ~"
The other one in midair could not stand it any longer. Soon, he turned into a skeleton and fell to the ground.
Finally, they found the culprit with psychic power. There were many insects.
They were dark and their fangs were dark as well. They were gnawing on the two young men's bones.
"Crack, crack ~"
The sound of bones being gnawed was not loud. But to people's ears, it sounded like demons were grinding their teeth. Everyone in the city felt their blood run cold.
"Hidden weapons ~"
Someone came to his senses and shouted in surprise. Many turned to Lu Li with fear in their eyes.
Just now, there were insects hidden in the hidden weapons. Lu Li released some random attacks and the tables were turned.
"Whoosh ~"
King of Venomous Worms flew back and Lu Li put it away.
Now that Zhangsun Wuque had noticed, it was pointless to let King of Venomous Worms attack. Maybe King of Venomous Worms would be killed by Zhangsun Wuque.
However, the Void Worms didn't return. Instead, they flew towards the other young men. Wherever the Void Worms passed, the people nearby would immediately flee in terror. They were afraid that the worms would get close to them. At that time, they would be gnawed to the point that not even their bones would remain.
"Bang ~"
The third young man fell to the ground and turned into a skeleton. The other seven could suppress the Worms of the Void. That being said, if the Zhangsun Family didn't do anything, they would end up as skeletons as well.
"Good!"
Lu Li was satisfied. The Worms of the Void were much stronger after the evolution. The 10 warriors were at the later stage of the third calamity, elites trained by the Zhangsun Family. The fact that the Worms of the Void could kill three of them in an instant was proof that the Worms of the Void were powerful.
"Watch my hidden weapon!"
Seeing that Zhangsun Wuque was about to come over again, Lu Li threw out a dagger. How could Zhangsun Wuque block it?
He had already lost an arm, so he didn't want to lose another one.
"Elders, hurry up and protect them."
Zhangsun Wuque shouted. Three people had already died, and he didn't want the remaining seven to die.
These ten people were the top geniuses of the Zhangsun Clan. If all of them died, he wouldn't know how to face his father and the elders of the clan.
"Watch my hidden weapon!"
Seeing that the two old men were about to fly over, Lu Li threw out some weapons. At the same time, he threw out seven weapons and aimed at the seven men sitting with their legs crossed.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the seven weapons coming, the seven were frightened. They could barely contain the Worms of the Void inside them. If Lu Li were to let out more worms, they would be in a worse state.
One of them tried to dodge out of instinct, so he flew up, trying to avoid Lu Li's "hidden weapon". However, as soon as he moved, the Worms of the Void inside him could no longer be contained. He cried out in pain in midair and rolled around.
Once he could not contain the Worms of the Void, what awaited him would be death.
"Whoosh!"
Some of them used divine energy to knock away the weapons Lu Li threw.
The weapons were knocked away easily, but hundreds of Worms of the Void flew out from the weapons, which shocked everyone.
"What?"
Zhangsun Wuque noticed a caterpillar flew out from one of the weapons. It was the one that attacked him. Shocked, Zhangsun Wuque shouted, "Zhangsun Tang, watch out!"
But it was too late. King of Venomous Worms flew over. This time, it flew to the back of the young man's head. King of Venomous Worms bit open a hole and crawled in. That young man fell to the ground with a bang. Blood flowed out from his eyes, nose, mouth, and mouth. Soon, he breathed no more.
"Patriarchs!" Zhangsun Wuque made up his mind. He made up his mind and said, "Please take Lu Li down!"
The two patriarchs were going to the seven. They looked at each other with hesitation.
If they were to attack Lu Li, they would be violating the rules of the Asmodian Family. If the Asmodian Family went to the Zhangsun Family, the Zhangsun Family would be in big trouble.
"Do it!" Zhangsun Wuque shouted, "I will take all the responsibility. This is an order."
As soon as Zhangsun Wuque finished his words, the two patriarchs were filled with killing intent. Even though they were patriarchs of the Zhangsun Family, their statuses were lower than Zhangsun Wuque's.
This time, the Family Master had told them to follow Zhangsun Wuque's orders.
The two patriarchs dashed toward Lu Li from the left and the right. How fast could two warriors at the peak of the third tribulation be?
Lu Li could not dodge at all!
"Buzzing ~"
From Lu Li's sacred mountain, countless Worms of the Void flew out toward the two patriarchs. But how could the Worms of the Void stop the two patriarchs when they were exerting their full strength?
One of the patriarchs took out a flag. The flag was unfurled and thousands of Worms of the Void were smashed away.
The other warrior dashed out from the Worms of the Void in a blur and arrived in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li knew he could not dodge. He tried his best to mobilize the energy in his body and smashed at the patriarch.
He was poisoned and his physical strength was reduced. He could only exert half of his strength in this punch.
"Hmm!"
That patriarch snorted. His hand glowed. Surges of divine energy gathered on his fist and then expanded. The divine energy landed on Lu Li's fist.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu Li's fist was already injured. At this moment, it was completely broken. One of his hands was broken. Lu Li's physical body was strong and yet his arm was broken in one move. His hand was shattered as well. It was not hard to imagine how powerful this patriarch was.
"I still have a long way to go to the peak of the third tribulation …"
Lu Li sighed to himself. He was going to die here today. After he was taken down by the two patriarchs, Zhangsun Wuque would kill him in person.
Gan Lin had informed the Axe Demon. The Axe Demon must be teleporting over by now.
That being said, there was still some distance between them and the Omen Island. It would take some time for the portal to be opened.
"Kill him!"
Zhangsun Wuque didn't do it himself. Instead, he shouted, "Patriarch Che, kill him. I will take all the responsibility."
The patriarch who injured Lu Li was hesitating. Zhangsun Wuque would take all the responsibility?
He was afraid that he would be the scapegoat if something went wrong.
But since Zhangsun Wuque had said so, the patriarch would have a hard time in the Zhangsun Family if he didn't carry out the order.
"Go to hell!"
