Lu Li decided to give it a try. That being said, he would not go up and fight with brute force. He continued to sit on the side. When the pain in his soul was gone, he walked in again. This time, he took a big step forward and stood below the platform.
"Buzzing!"
The runes on the platform glowed. Then, the horn flew up again. From the horn came some ghostly cries and howls. Lu Li hugged his head and rolled on the ground. This time, he controlled himself with strong willpower. He tried to stay conscious so that his soul could control his body.
Lu Li's willpower had always been strong. This time, he did manage to stay conscious.
Veins were popping out on his face. He bit his teeth and tried to stay conscious.
After the horn sounded for five times, it flew down. Lu Li lay on the ground, panting in relief. He felt he had used up all his strength. He couldn't even move a finger.
Just now, he had a splitting headache as well, but it was not as bad as this time. He had to use his willpower to hold on. Lu Li's spirit was damaged, and he was exhausted to the extreme.
"Patriarch Lu, how are you?"
After the time for a dozen breaths, Yin Tianfan noticed something was wrong. Every time the horn sounded, Lu Li's soul would be in pain. But as soon as the horn stopped, the pain would be relieved and the damage wouldn't be serious.
But Lu Li seemed to be in trouble. His soul seemed to be damaged.
Lu Li's soul was not hurt, but his spirit was exhausted. He tried to wave his hand and then lay on the ground to rest with his eyes closed.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li sat up and said something to Yin Tianfan. He took out two soul-nurturing pellets and took them. Then, he closed his eyes and sat down again.
A moment later, the weak period of the Dragon Wrestling Skill had come. Lu Li had to step back. Yin Tianfan asked, "Lu Li, what happened to you?"
"Nothing. I am just a bit weak. I will go and have some rest. Tianfan, please protect me."
Lu Li waved his hand and went back to the Separation Bead. He fell asleep right away and slept for three days and three nights.
When he woke up, the weakness in his soul was gone. He was in high spirits. He went out after cultivating for a while.
Yin Tianfan and a few others were still outside. The rest of the people were still in the Spatial Divine Tool, including Yin Ruolan.
This was because the sound of the horn would make people roll on the ground in pain. After all, Yin Ruo Lan was a young lady of a prestigious family.
Lu Li didn't say anything. He just greeted Yin Tianfan who nodded. Lu Li rushed over.
The people from the Cang Clan didn't make any moves, but there were three people guarding outside.
When Lu Li came to the horn, he stepped onto the platform and the horn flew up. Lu Li poured divine energy into it and the bronze horn glowed. Lu Li swung the bronze horn in his hand and smashed it at the horn.
"Woo, woo ~"
The horn let out a horrifying sound. At that moment, Lu Li began to tremble. He felt pain in his mind as if his soul was being torn apart.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Li would have rolled down with his head in his hands. However, he clenched his teeth and continued to smash at the horn.
"Boom boom boom!"
Gu Tong activated his full strength and began to swing. The multicolored light instantly caused the space around him to tremble. A vast amount of divine might radiated outwards, causing the surrounding atmosphere to become extremely oppressive.
"Boom!"
The bronze horn landed on the horn. The runes on the horn glowed but soon, they were suppressed by the multicolored light. The glare on the horn weakened and then it was smashed away by the bronze horn.
"Ah ~"
At this moment, Lu Li could not stand it anymore. He fell down and landed on the platform.
He rolled around for a bit. Since the horn was no longer making a shrill sound, his soul was soothed.
"Buzzing ~"
However, to Lu Li's surprise, the runes on the sword next to him suddenly glowed. With a surge of horrifying qi and energy, the sword flew up and stabbed at him.
"Sh * t …"
Lu Li was scared out of his wits. He was extremely weak. He was better than last time but his reaction was slowed down. He could not run away quickly.
Similar to the horn, the sword was also covered with dense ancient runes. It must be powerful.
"Whoosh!"
The sword fell down quickly. Many thoughts flashed across Lu Li's mind. The Heaven Separation Bead glowed. Three Wind Warcraft came out and flew toward the sword.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The Wind Warcraft turned into minced meat one by one. They could not stop the sword. The sword was only slowed down a bit.
The sword was more than 10 feet away. Lu Li couldn't release the Wind Warcraft even if he wanted to.
In that split of a second, two ideas came to Lu Li's mind. He had only two options.
Either he could continue to use the bronze horn to fight against the sword or try his best to dodge and see if he could get away from the sword.
But he felt it would be difficult to dodge. He felt he was being targeted by the sword. No matter where he went, he would be hit.
"Hoy!"
Even though Lu Li's mind was about to explode, he still made up his mind and used the bronze horn to smash at the sword above his head.
Since the horn could be smashed away, Lu Li believed the ancient sword could be smashed away as well.
"Boom!"
The bronze horn and the ancient sword bumped into each other. The space nearby trembled. Surges of killing intent spread out. Half of Lu Li's body was torn into a bloody mess.
Lu Li felt his vision blurred. He almost passed out.
But the fact that the ancient sword was smashed away was the only thing that made Lu Li happy. He pushed himself up with his hands, trying to get back.
"Whoosh!"
A noise came from above. Lu Li opened his blood-stained eyes and glanced over. He saw the ancient sword flying down again with the force of thunder. Lu Li's eyes were filled with despair.
He was too injured and his spirit was weak. He could no longer use the bronze horn. Even if he took out the Relic iron, the outcome would be the same.
The ancient sword had locked onto him. He had nowhere to run. He had to fight or die!
"Patriarch Lu, get back!"
Yin Tianfan shouted. Lu Li wanted to go back but the sword was locked onto him. Where could he go?
Lu Li had to make up his mind. He swung the bronze horn, poured divine energy into it and twisted his body to the side.
"Eh?"
When Lu Li was twisting his body, he suddenly touched something. Out of instinct, he grabbed it. It was the third piece of treasure, the ring!
"Buzzing ~"
The moment Lu Li's hand touched the ring, something strange happened.
The ring shone brightly and shone with a boundless radiance. Following that, the entire world fell silent.
The radiance of the sword in the sky dimmed, and the horn also lost its luster. Even the flames around it disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"Bang!"
The ancient sword smashed down and hit Lu Li's head. Then it rolled to the platform, making a crisp sound.
