"Boom, boom, boom ~"
The two retreated quickly. However, they were in the lake and there were dragons of water coming from all directions. The two had nowhere to run. They were smashed out of the lake after more than a dozen strikes.
The two were in a worse state than the one with a goatee. They looked awful. Their abilities would be weakened when they were in the lake. Now that they were injured, their abilities were weakened even more.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li was shaken out from the Separation Bead. He listened to Blood Fairy and did nothing. He did not even dare to use divine energy.
The dragons of water did not attack him. Though he was shaken by the dragons, he was not hurt.
"He can control the pattern?"
Patriarch Jiu used psychic power to check on Lu Li. Seeing that Lu Li was fine, Patriarch Jiu pulled a long face.
One of them was at the lord realm and four at the Fifth Tribulation were trying to kill a warrior at the peak of the Second Tribulation. It was like five lions trying to kill an earthworm. The earthworm was still alive, but the lions were disgraced.
That being said, they could not be blamed. It was not that they were not strong enough. It was just that their opponent was not Lu Li, but the pattern.
The pattern of the cursed land was powerful. Otherwise, it would have been cracked a long time ago.
The five of them were dealing with the major pattern of the cursed land. It was understandable that they were suppressed by the major pattern of a dangerous land.
"You three, go into the interspatial artifact to recover!"
Patriarch Jiu waved his hand. The three of them were injured. They would be weaker if they stayed outside. They might as well go into the interspatial artifact to recover.
"I will go in myself. I don't believe that I can't win!"
Patriarch Jiu made up his mind. The longer they stayed here, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. The five of them had come in and yet they could not defeat a warrior. He could not afford to lose face.
Patriarch Jiu flew over slowly. He looked around and dived into the lake.
Patriarch Jiu used psychic power to check on Lu Li. Patriarch Jiu's eyes were filled with killing intent. He didn't even want to take down Lu Li now. All he wanted was to finish Lu Li in one move.
Lu Li was only thirty miles away. Usually, this distance would be nothing. Patriarch Jiu could crush Lu Li with one finger.
However, he did not dare to take any actions. He flew toward Lu Li slowly.
"Splash, splash ~"
Without waiting for him to come down, the lake water surged, and countless water dragons rushed over.
However, Elder Jiu didn't retreat. He condensed a beam of light in his hand and countless light balls appeared around him. Those light balls quickly revolved around him and enveloped his entire body.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Water dragons rushed over and smashed into the balls of light. The balls of light were destroyed one by one, but Elder Jiu quickly condensed more. The balls of light were endless, and the water dragons were endless. They canceled each other out, unable to harm Elder Jiu at all.
"Alright!"
The other patriarch cheered. Now that the water dragons could not break through Patriarch Jiu's defense, Lu Li was like an ant on his palm. He could not run away.
Down below, Lu Li saw this, and his heart sank. He took out the painting scroll and the Godly metal, ready to fight to the death.
Blood Fairy transmitted, "Master, don't move, or you'll be wounded in an instant.
Don't worry, there are two paths you can take now. Choose. "
Blood Fairy continued, "The first option is for me to use my Divine Glyphs to attack the strong one, but the chances of that happening are not high. If I can't defeat him, then attack him with all your might and see if you can injure him.
Once you can injure him, the others will not be a threat. "
"The second option is for me to destroy the entire Divine Glyphs and cause them to explode. Before the explosion, the Confinement of Space might be lifted. You will have a chance to fly away.
Of course … if the Confinement of Space is not lifted, you may lose your life in there. "
"What?"
Lu Li pulled a long face. Neither of the two options was good. In a split second, he made up his mind. He said, "Let's try the first option. If it doesn't work, destroy the Divine Glyphs at once and let them die together!"
Lu Li had always been like this. He would not give up until the very last moment. If there was no other way, he would die together.
The lake water was surging, and the water dragons were getting stronger. They were swarming toward Elder Jiu.
Elder Jiu had to form halos quickly. He was going to charge at Lu Li, but he had to stop.
Lu Li dashed toward Elder Jiu. Since Elder Jiu could withstand the water dragons, Lu Li had no other choice but to attack with all his might.
If Lu Li could injure Elder Jiu and force him to retreat, then Lu Li would be completely safe in the lake.
"Hmm!"
Seeing that Lu Li had taken the initiative to come to him, Patriarch Jiu sneered. He stopped and waited for Lu Li in the lake.
Elder Jiu's hand glowed as many balls of light came into being and enveloped him.
Lu Li moved closer quickly. He did not use divine energy for fear that the water dragons would attack him. When he was two miles away from Elder Jiu, Blood Fairy said, "Master, attack. When you are done, do not move and do nothing!"
"Hoy!"
Lu Li sped up. He took out the Relic iron in one hand and held the scroll in the other. At the same time, he let out Specter, which dashed toward Elder Jiu first.
"Hmm!"
Elder Jiu snorted. He let Specter enter his body. He believed that his soul was strong and the Enchanted Soul in his soul could stop Specter.
"Buzzing ~"
At that moment, the Divine Glyphs at the bottom of the lake glowed. Then, the water dragons collapsed.
Lu Li could not retaliate against the attacks of the water dragons or else he would be severely injured.
"Hoy ~"
Lu Li could not care less. Even if it was a lord, he would have to face it head-on.
He swung the Relic iron in one hand and poured divine energy into it while he held the scroll in front of him.
"Buzzing ~"
As Lu Li made his move, the Divine Glyphs began to tremble. The lake water surged as if the water dragons were about to attack.
This was Blood Fairy's cooperation. As a matter of fact, the water dragons would not attack. They were just distracting Elder Jiu.
"Hmm!"
Elder Jiu laughed again. Lu Li's Relic iron was coming. Elder Jiu did not take out the Holy Weapon fragment. Instead, his hand glowed and a brown shield of light came out.
That shield of light spun quickly in his hand with the brown dragons moving around.
"Bang!"
The Relic iron was bounced off when it landed on the shield of light. That shield of light did not crack, but it dimmed down.
"Whoosh!"
Elder Jiu waved his other hand. A blade of light came out. Instead of attacking the scroll, it was aimed at Lu Li's hand that was holding the Relic iron.
The blade of light was fast. Lu Li's hand was cut off and the Relic iron flew away. Blood gushed out from Elder Jiu's hand.
Lu Li's hand was bleeding profusely and his eyes were filled with bitterness. He really wasn't on the same level as a Lord. It was like a child facing a strong man.
No matter how the child struggled, he could not withstand a single blow from a strong man.
"Blood Fairy, do it. Destroy the Divine Glyphs!"
Lu Li yelled. It was impossible to defeat Elder Jiu. The only way left was to destroy the Divine Glyphs here and trigger an explosion of the Divine Glyphs in the entire blasted land.
If the Space Confinement could be lifted, Lu Li would have a chance to fly across the void.
If they couldn't break free, then they would all die together.
