Over the past two years, Lu Li's abilities didn't improve much. What he did improve was his experience and his ability to use the Austere Talisman. During this time, Lu Li had mastered the use of the Austere Talisman.
The Austere Talisman was like a Thunder Trigger. When it was used quietly, it could inflict great damage to enemies.
Now, it was too easy for him to kill the Abyssal Demon warriors. The Austere Talisman could kill people invisibly, which was much better than soul attacks.
Over the past two years, he had killed at least 20,000 if not 30,000 Abyssal Demon warriors.
Of course, that was also because Lu Li didn't use the horn. If he had rushed into the Abyssal Demon warriors and used the horn, he would have been more efficient in killing enemies.
Lu Li didn't dare to act rashly because there were powerful warriors of the Abyssal Demon warriors. If he dared to kill so brazenly, he would be targeted by the Abyssal Demon warriors. By then, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Lu Li had been promoted to a commander, but he rarely led armies. There was nothing for him to do. When the Abyssal Demon warriors came, the allied army could just fight to the death.
If the Abyssal Demon warriors didn't retreat, the allied army couldn't either until they defeated the Abyssal Demon warriors.
"No.10 on the list?"
Lu Li forced a smile. The list was not good for him, but bad for him.
At least, apart from the Dong An Mountain, few people knew about him. Now, he became the center of attention as soon as he got on the list.
If the Abyssal Demon warriors learned about it, they would take actions against the 10 of them. By then, powerful warriors from the Abyssal Demon would assassinate them secretly, which would put the 10 of them in danger.
What was the point of being famous?
Apart from fishing for compliments, it was pointless. The Abyssal Demon warriors wouldn't give them top-level resources or Holy Weapons or Emperor Weapons.
Of course, for the young masters, it was beneficial. They would be admired by many beautiful girls, which would indirectly help their families gain fame.
If they could continue to grow, they would become the mainstay of their families and they would become more and more famous. They could make a name for their families and help their families to gain fame.
Strictly speaking, Lu Li didn't belong to any family or force. He only belonged to the Lu Family. The other families were just nominal and didn't represent anything.
"Brother Lu, when will this war end?"
Qi Dingdong supported his chin with one hand and said in a bored tone.
Over the past two years, her strength had increased to the peak of the fifth tribulation, but her battle prowess hadn't increased by much. At first, she was very excited about this battle, but as time passed, the novelty faded, and Qi Dingdong found it boring.
More importantly, there were too many flies around her and she could not stay with Lu Li all the time. She was annoyed. She wanted to go to the Northern Goblin City but she didn't want to leave Lu Li here alone for fear that something might happen.
"It's probably still too early!"
Lu Li sighed as well. He wanted to go back to the Second Heaven very much, but how could he ask the Qi Family to send him to the Zi Yang Land before the war ended?
The Qi Clan had been opening spatial doors everywhere for the past few years and had consumed a lot of resources. If it wasn't necessary for the war, all other teleportations had to be stopped. This was an order from the Reincarnation Thearch.
It was true that Lu Li could go to Second Patriarch to open the portal, but that would be inhumane. Lu Li could still contribute by staying here. He was one of the main forces of the Victorious Army at the Dong An Mountain. Every time the armies from the Abyss of Demons came, Lu Li could hold back half of the army by himself.
"Brother Lu!"
Qi Dingdong couldn't wait any longer. She thought about it and said, "I want to go to the Northern Goblin City for a while. My parents are there and I miss Linglong."
"Go!"
Lu Li stroked Qi Dingdong's hair, stroked her pretty face and said, "You have been through a lot here for the past two years. Go to the Northern Goblin City and have some rest. Don't worry about me here. I will be fine. Patriarch Dong Liu has been taking good care of me."
"Yes!"
Lu Li suddenly caressed her face. This made Qi Dingdong tremble and her cheeks blush. She plucked up her courage and moved closer to Lu Li and put her arms around him.
Lu Li froze but he did put his arms around her. Qi Dingdong hugged Lu Li for a while and then looked up at him and said, "Brother Lu, you like me, don't you?"
Lu Li thought about it. Qi Dingdong was waiting for him. After a while, Lu Li said, "Dingdong, if you don't change your mind after the armies from the Abyss of Demons are defeated, I will marry you."
"Ah?"
Qi Dingdong's cheeks heated up. Her eyes glowed and she looked even more beautiful. She moved her lips in surprise and said, "Brother Lu, you said it. You can't lie to me."
"I will not break my promise!"
Lu Li nodded with determination. Humans were not plants or trees. Over the years, Qi Dingdong had shown him affection and unreserved love. She could even have feelings for a dog, let alone a beautiful girl.
She was a talented girl, the dream lover of many. Many young masters had been pursuing her for years. Now, she had waited for Lu Li for so many years. Lu Li was touched.
"Then I won't leave. I will stay here with you!"
Qi Dingdong was overjoyed. She seemed to be more spirited. Lu Li pinched her nose and said, "It has been so long. It is time you go and see your parents. This place is so close to the Northern Goblin City. You can come here anytime.
But I suggest you spend more time with your parents. The armies from the Abyss of Demons will not be defeated so easily. "
"Okay!"
Qi Dingdong was like a young girl in love. She would never say no to anything her lover said. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Li on the cheek. Then, she opened the Inhibition Formation of the tent and ran away.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li was in a better mood as well. His depression was lightened by Qi Dingdong's affection.
But after a while, his mind wandered back to the Second Heaven. It had been so many years. He wondered how the Second Heaven was doing.
How was the Lu Family?
Were his wives and concubines waiting for him to come back every day?
His father, grandpa, the Asmodian Lord and Little White.
Where had Little White been all these years?
Was he already dead?
Lu Li's mood became gloomy again on this thought.
"I will try to get stronger!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed with excitement. He was not powerful enough yet. As the Blood Evil King said, only Lords could be considered powerful. Only when he became a Lord could he have the right to make a name for himself at the continent.
"I will cultivate for a few more years and find a chance to go through the fifth Heaven's Tribulation!"
Lu Li made up his mind. After the fifth Heaven's Tribulation, his overall abilities would be enhanced and he would be able to fight against a lord.
Now that his physical strength had reached a bottleneck, consuming elixirs would be pointless. The progress would be too slow. Learning Fundamental Principles wouldn't be of much help either. To further improve, the only way was to go through the fifth Heaven's Tribulation.
However, Tian Yazi once said!
The fifth Heaven's Tribulation could not be helped by average people. Lu Li had to rely on himself, unless a powerful warrior of the Emperor Realm could help him.
On this thought, Lu Li had an idea. The Blood Evil King was a powerful warrior of the Emperor Realm. Could he be able to help Lu Li through the Soul Tribulation?
"Don't even think about it!"
