Should he fly across the void at once or think of a way to escape first?
Lu Li was hesitating. He didn't have puppets like the Ghost King and the Wind Warcraft to protect him.
If he were surrounded by warriors of the Fifth Tribulation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I will run and fly across the void when things go south!"
Lu Li was afraid to take the risk. There were too many uncertainties when it came to flying across the void. If he were to fly to the center of the battlefield, he would die for sure.
"Buzzing ~"
He made a very risky move. He took out the Godly Speed Boat and entered it in a flash. Then, he flew towards the north.
If he were to fly on his own, he would be surrounded soon.
If so, he might as well take the Speed Boat and fly across the void when things went south.
He exerted the Mark of Great Path and expanded his psychic power to the extreme to observe the surroundings.
Just as he had expected, countless people were coming toward him from all directions.
However, the speed of the Godspeed Boat was very fast. Before the people in the vicinity could form an encirclement, the Godspeed Boat had already broken through the sky and crossed hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant.
"Eh?"
Many warriors were looking at the Speed Boat with psychic power. They were stunned to see how fast the Speed Boat was.
Then, many people shouted. Clearly, some of the warriors knew the value of the Speed Boat. A Speed Boat was worth a fortune.
"Whoosh ~"
After Lu Li used the Mark of Great Path, his senses were extraordinary. If there was any fluctuation in the space up ahead, he wouldn't care who it was. He would just fly the Speed Boat to another direction.
The Speed Boat was so fast that sometimes, it was inevitable that the Speed Boat would fly past some people.
Fortunately, the Speed Boat was so fast that many people had just noticed it. Before they could react, the Speed Boat had already disappeared into the horizon.
Their luck ran out after the time for one incense stick to burn.
Two warriors of the Fifth Tribulation were flying over. One of them had already released a powerful skill. With a wave of his hand, the sky was filled with starlight. The starlight formed a huge net and smashed toward the Speed Boat.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li could not avoid it. He put away the Speed Boat at once. This warrior was strong. The Speed Boat would not be able to stand it. Lu Li had to fight back.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Lu Li was hit by the starlight. His defense was so strong that the starlight didn't affect him at all.
Seeing that the two were only warriors of the Fifth Tribulation, Lu Li thought about it and flew over. He wanted to test the abilities of his divine body.
Most importantly, he couldn't fly now, so he could only fight to the death.
"Hehe!"
Seeing that Lu Li had taken the initiative to fly over, the two sneered. Lu Li was only at the peak of the third tribulation and he wanted to challenge a warrior of the fifth tribulation?
Wasn't that courting death?
A golden longsword appeared in the hands of one of them, while the other took out a pagoda. The pagoda was glistening with divine light; it was clearly a precious treasure.
Lu Li was not fast. His speed was only comparable to the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation.
He secretly activated the Dragon Weaving Technique. When he was 10,000 feet away from the two of them, dragon wings appeared on his back, and his speed soared. He was no slower than an early-stage Fifth Tribulation Cultivator.
"Huh?"
The two of them were taken aback. At this moment, Lu Li released his energy that was as profound as that of an ancient beast. At that moment, the two of them felt suffocated and their hearts trembled. Out of instinct, they thought that Lu Li was a powerful warrior that was hiding his realm.
The distance of 10,000 feet was too short. In an instant, Lu Li had reached the warrior with the pagoda. He took out the Relic iron and smashed at the warrior.
"Buzzing ~"
That man was not a weakling either. He reacted quickly. He mobilized the pagoda and it smashed at Lu Li.
Lu Li's hand slipped and the Relic iron was smashed on the warrior's shoulder.
That warrior's shoulder was crushed. Almost at the same time, his pagoda landed on Lu Li's chest.
"Boom!"
Both Lu Li and the warrior were knocked away. The difference was that the warrior of the fifth tribulation was injured on the shoulder while Lu Li's chest armor was cracked and there were some bloodstains. Lu Li's skin was injured but he didn't sustain serious injuries.
"Eh!"
The two warriors of the fifth tribulation were stunned. They were surprised for two reasons. First, Lu Li was not as powerful as they had imagined. Second, Lu Li had too many treasures, including fragments of Relic weapons.
"Is he a disciple of a big family?"
The two warriors were curious. But given the current situation, they couldn't care less.
The powerful swordsman dashed to the back of Lu Li in an instant. He stabbed at Lu Li with his sword, leaving a trail of afterimages behind.
"Hoy ~"
Lu Li swung the Relic iron and smashed at that warrior with a backhand.
Lu Li had a deep understanding of his own defense. Average attacks from warriors of the fifth tribulation could not kill him.
Lu Li wanted to end the fight as soon as possible by risking his life. Otherwise, more powerful warriors would be attracted to him.
However, that warrior had seen it coming. He slid his sword across Lu Li's back and left a bloody wound. Then, he flew away like a ghost.
"He is so fast!"
Lu Li complained to himself. He moved around like a dragon and charged at the other warrior.
That warrior's pagoda enlarged and smashed at Lu Li's chest in a blur.
"Boom!"
Lu Li was smashed away. Before he could come back to himself, the other warrior with the sword had come to his back like a ghost. After several flashes of sword light, Lu Li's back was wounded again.
"Boom!"
The other pagoda smashed at Lu Li again. Lu Li was smashed away.
The two warriors of the fifth tribulation were experienced. They could tell that Lu Li's defense was strong. Therefore, they planned to wear Lu Li down slowly, not giving him a chance to get close.
They stuck to Lu Li like two pieces of candy. Lu Li could not get away or fight back, let alone fly away.
"This is not going to work!"
As time went on, Lu Li was having a headache. The period of weakness of the Dragon Skill was coming to an end. By then, his defense would be weakened and he would die in the hands of the two warriors of the fifth tribulation.
As time went on, more powerful warriors would come. By then, he wouldn't be able to run away even if he wanted to.
He felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have flown into the void and escaped immediately.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Lu Li was getting more and more wounded. He made up his mind to let out the daughter of the Holy King.
He had no other way out. He had to sacrifice the daughter of the Holy King for a moment and then fly away.
"Whoosh ~"
Right at that moment, he heard some noises coming from the distance. Lu Li thought it was more powerful warriors coming. He used psychic power to check and was surprised to see five people, five familiar faces.
They were the five who opened the portal at the Palace of Smoke at the Flames City with him. One of them was a young lady disguised as an old lady. The other four were warriors of the fifth tribulation.
"It is him?"
The five clearly noticed him as well. The young lady disguised as an old lady frowned. All of a sudden, she said, "Help him."
"Whoosh!"
Clearly, the young lady was a key figure. As soon as she gave the order, two of the four warriors rushed down.
The two warriors were taken aback. The two warriors were at the middle stage of the fifth tribulation, not someone they could fight.
"Whoosh!"
The two ran away in fear. The other warriors didn't go after them. They just looked at Lu Li and one of them said, "Do you want to come with us?"
"Okay!
Thank you, my lord! "
Lu Li hesitated for a moment. Those warriors were powerful. More importantly, they came from the Flames City with him. At first, they boarded the battleship from the Gou Emperor City. It was fate that brought them together.
Previously, Lu Li had suspected that they were here to assassinate him. Now, it seemed that he was wrong.
Given their abilities, they would have done it a long time ago if they wanted to kill him.
Just like just now, any one of these people would have been able to kill him without a burial ground.
"Let's go ~"
The young lady disguised as an old lady waved her hand. Lu Li stopped using the Dragon Skill but kept his wings open. He took some healing pellets and flew to the north with the warriors.
