Lord Li was the highest supervisor of the sect's assessment and the most powerful one here. He enjoyed a high status in the sect.
Usually, Emperor Rui and the others could not interfere with the sect's assessment unless Lord Li agreed.
Guan Qianqiu was charging toward Lu Li. Lu Li might lose his life. How could Lord Li forbid Emperor Rui from interfering?
This made people wonder. Was Lord Li siding with Guan Qianqiu?
Was Lord Li related to the Guan Family?
Or was he related to the late Emperor Guan?
Emperor Rui bit his lips but said nothing. He stared at Lu Li and so did the others. They wanted to see what would happen to Lu Li.
Guan Qianqiu was enraged. He was defeated by Lu Li again. Even after reaching the sixth tribulation, he was still no match for Lu Li, which made him feel ashamed.
More importantly, he was afraid that the fight just now would be seen by some Emperor Realm warriors hiding nearby.
If there were indeed some Emperor Realm warriors hiding around, his impression of him would be affected by a warrior at the initial stage of the fifth tribulation. He might not be able to make the breakthrough this time. Even if he did, it would be impossible for him to be trained.
In other words, Lu Li had ruined his dignity, his pride and his future in this fight.
Another thing was that Ruan Shijie would report everything to the Ruan Family. By then, the Guan Family would know as well. Guan Qianqiu would be regarded as a good-for-nothing by the higher-ups of the Guan Family …
Therefore, Guan Qianqiu was enraged. Now that the energy in his soul was cleared, he flew toward Lu Li at once. He stared at Lu Li, who was floating on the ground like a maggot. Guan Qianqiu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Whoosh!"
Guan Qianqiu swung his sword. A ray of dark golden sword light landed on Lu Li's waist. Lu Li's body was already in a mess and now it was even more so. He was smashed away as well.
"Lu Li, you are about to die. How can you still be so arrogant?"
Guan Qianqiu flew toward Lu Li and shouted with a ferocious look, "Arrogance, keep it up. Stand up and keep it up!"
"Whoosh!"
Another strike and Lu Li was smashed away again. Lu Li seemed to be passing out. His eyes were closed and he was barely breathing. He could die at any moment.
"Stand up and keep it up!" Guan Qianqiu bellowed, "Come on, where is your soul attack?
Why aren't you releasing it?
Come and attack me. "
Ruan Shijie's mouth twitched. He found Guan Qianqiu's actions somewhat shameless. What kind of skill was kneading a dying person?
However, he didn't interfere. He knew that Guan Qianqiu was suppressing his anger, and it was good for him to vent it.
Even if Lu Li was killed, it was none of his business.
"Stand up, stand up!"
Guan Qianqiu released three or four strikes in a row, his mouth continuing to howl like a madman.
Seeing that Lu Li wasn't moving, he stopped attacking from a distance. He swung his sword and flew towards Lu Li. He was ready to finish what he couldn't do last time – cut off Lu Li's hands and feet and turn him into a meatball.
"Ha!"
He shouted and approached Lu Li quickly. A cruel smile appeared on his face. He didn't think of anything else except to torture Lu Li and vent the anger that he had been suppressing for a long time.
"Hmm?"
Just as he was about to reach Lu Li, Guan Qianqiu sensed a fatal danger in his soul. Guan Qianqiu's pupils contracted. He looked at Lu Li's face, only to see that Lu Li's eyes were open, filled with coldness.
Guan Qianqiu had seen this look before. It was the same look he had at the recruitment ceremony, like a beast waking up from a deep sleep.
"Oh no!"
Based on instinct, Guan Qianqiu felt something was wrong. He stepped back quickly. Right at that moment, Lu Li moved as well. He lifted his hand and a ray of golden light came out. He waved his arm.
"Buzzing!"
All of a sudden, a shadow came out from behind Lu Li. It was a huge golden chain. The chain was so powerful that it was many times stronger than a Sovereign Artifact.
As Lu Li moved his hand, the golden chain swept over and hit Guan Qianqiu's waist at once!
"Ah —"
With a scream, the chain struck the lower half of Guan Qianqiu's body, instantly turning it into a bloody mist. Guan Qianqiu was only left with the lower half of his body, and he was sent flying like a broken sack.
"What?"
Ruan Shijie and the other two warriors at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation who had just woken up were stunned.
The three of them thought they had seen it wrong. They blinked and looked over to Lu Li. However, the shadow of the golden chain had disappeared.
They looked over to Guan Qianqiu, who had passed out and only half of his body was left. Finally, they were sure that it was not an illusion. It was real.
Did Lu Li use an artifact?
Or was it a skill that crushed half of Guan Qianqiu's body into a mist of blood?
Guan Qianqiu was a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm and he had a super Relic armor. How could Lu Li injure him so badly?
If that chain had hit Guan Qianqiu's upper body, would he still be alive?
"What is that?
Is that a Holy Weapon? "
Ruan Shijie and the other two were not the only ones stunned. The group of Great Emperor Realm warriors in the castle were shocked as well.
Just now, the golden chain was so powerful that it gave them the impression that it was a Holy Weapon. Of course, it was not as powerful as a Holy Weapon but it was enough to stun them.
"It is not a Holy Weapon!"
The first one to speak was Lord Li. He said emotionlessly, "If I am right, that is a Chain of Order."
"Chain of Order?"
Everyone's eyes glowed. Three or four of the Great Emperor Realm warriors even had excitement in their eyes.
They had all heard of it but none of them had seen it. How could such a thing really exist?
And it was in the hands of a nominal disciple?
Overlord-ranked were also human, and they had emotions and desires, as well as greed. There were probably at least three out of ten Overlord-ranked present who were greedy, if it really was a god sequence chain.
If it really was a Chain of Order, it would be more useful in their hands. It would be a waste in Lu Li's hands.
"Alright!"
Lord Li suddenly said, "Emperor Rui, come out and end this farce. Bring Lu Li out and make him an official disciple.
Well … how about you take him in as a personal disciple?
Train him well.
You don't have to think about his Chain of Order. It has become one with him. If he dies, the Chain of Order will be destroyed as well. "
Hearing Lord Li's words, some people's eyes dimmed. They felt it was a pity that they did not have the chance to get such a thing. Lu Li had it. What a waste …
"Okay!"
Emperor Rui nodded. He did not show any emotion but his eyes were filled with relief.
He had been thinking about taking Lu Li as a personal disciple for a long time. It was a pity that Lu Li did not make it to the next rank at the recruitment ceremony.
As soon as he became a nominal disciple, Lu Li was taken away by a Martial Emperor.
He did not have any thoughts about the god sequence chains. He had climbed up step by step from the bottom. He knew very well that some fateful encounters could not be forced. If it was something that belonged to him, he would not be able to run away. If he tried to force something that did not belong to him, it would ruin his Dao Heart.
Emperor Rui admired Lu Li. Looking at Lu Li reminded him of himself when he was young.
