As a matter of fact!
If Lu Li really wanted to defeat Tian Zhen, he had many ways to do so. However, Lu Li didn't reveal many of his abilities. He didn't even take out his horn.
He did this for two reasons. For one, he wanted to hide his abilities. For another, he didn't want his identity to be exposed.
The later his identity was exposed, the better it would be for him. If he was exposed too early, there would be many variables.
This was not the time for the real battle, nor the last few fights. Therefore, he chose to hide many of his abilities even at the risk of being injured.
"Tian Zhen is defeated!"
"Is Feng Wuding that strong?"
"Is he really going to become a super dark horse?"
The spectator stands outside were abuzz with discussion. Under such circumstances, everyone knew that Tian Zhen had lost.
Lu Li was only injured but Tian Zhen's helmet was cracked and his head was cracked. If Lu Li had continued, Tian Zhen would not have just been injured. He would have been smashed to death.
Therefore, the patriarchs of the Holy Lady Sect activated the Sacred Patterns without any hesitation. A surge of energy enveloped Tian Zhen. Lu Li felt it and let go. Tian Zhen was teleported out.
"Good, good!"
Xuan Wei was grinning, proud of himself.
He was injured but so was Lu Li. Xuan Wei had a good chance of winning.
He had thought that he was doomed. Little did he expect that Lu Li would give him a pleasant surprise.
People were in an uproar. They didn't expect that Tian Zhen would be defeated so thoroughly.
Would it be Lu Li or Xuan Wei?
If it was Lu Li who advanced, he would become a true dark horse.
Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong's eyes were filled with excitement. They could not hide their joy.
As far as they could see, if Lu Li could defeat Tian Zhen, then it would be a piece of cake for him to defeat Xuan Wei.
After defeating Xuan Wei, Lu Li would make it to the top 10. Even though they didn't know how far he could go, every step forward was delightful.
The battle attracted even more attention. The Shadow Queen even cast her gaze over, wanting to wait for the final result.
As a matter of fact, Lu Li was right. The draw was arranged by the Holy Lady Sect and Lu Li's two opponents were arranged by Shadow Queen as well.
Shadow Queen had her reasons for arranging such opponents for Lu Li. She was taking care of Lu Li and testing his abilities at the same time.
If Lu Li could not even deal with these two, then there was no point in continuing with the rest of the contest.
"Brother Feng!"
Xuan Wei transmitted his voice, "You are seriously injured. I don't think there is a need for you to compete in the next round, right?
If you just admit defeat, I, Xuan Wei, will owe you a favor. Next time, if you need anything, just let me know.
If I, Xuan Wei, can do it, I will definitely not decline! "
"This …"
Lu Li was hesitant but he put on a good show. He took out a top-level pellet, swallowed it and said, "Brother Xuan, Old Master said that since we are here, we must make it to the top 10 or he will break my legs.
How about … you let me have my way?
I owe you my life. "
Lu Li was just saying this. He knew that Xuan Wei would not admit defeat. Xuan Wei was sure that he would win. How could he admit defeat?
On the other side, Xuan Wei hesitated for a moment and indeed transmitted his voice, "I'm sorry, Brother Feng. I'm really sorry this time. I must enter the top five this time.
Since Brother Feng doesn't want to admit defeat, I can only force you out. Later, I will set up a table to apologize to you. "
While he was speaking, the ground under Lu Li began to tremble. Following that, many Earth Drilling Rats rushed out and exploded around Lu Li.
Lu Li's physical armor was not strong so it could not withstand the attacks. It exploded at once. More importantly, the space around Lu Li began to tremble. He felt like he was stuck in a quagmire and his speed was slowed down.
Xuan Wei used the same trick again. Lu Li was already injured and it would take some time for him to recover. If Xuan Wei went on with that kind of attack, Lu Li would be seriously injured and Xuan Wei would win for sure.
Lu Li was having a headache. The explosions of the Earth Drilling Rats didn't matter as they couldn't hurt him too much.
What troubled him was that his speed was limited. How could he defeat his enemy when he couldn't use some of his skills?
On the other side, Xuan Wei released that kind of sword light. Streaks of sword light entered Lu Li's body and began to impact his internal organs.
But how strong were Lu Li's internal organs?
Even though there was some damage, Lu Li's strong healing ability could almost offset the damage.
Lu Li thought quickly. He had a sense of direction. He released Wind Spirit Skills one after another. Wisps of invisible wind flew toward Xuan Wei.
At the same time, he released divine energy attacks which contained a hidden Abominable Talisman.
He didn't dare to release the Abominable Talisman directly. Dong Yeying had heard of this skill. If Dong Yeying recognized it, Lu Li would be in trouble.
Lu Li was fine hiding in the divine energy. Even if Dong Yeying were watching from the outside, he wouldn't be able to recognize it.
What was more, Dong Yeying's two opponents were not weak either. It wouldn't be so easy for them to advance.
"Ha, ha!"
Xuan Wei dodged quickly with a smile. He was some distance away from Lu Li so it was hard for Lu Li's attacks to hit him.
On the other hand, because Lu Li had become a live target, it was much easier for Xuan Wei to attack Lu Li.
The two seemed to be in a stalemate. One could take a beating and the other could do nothing to the other.
Lu Li's soul attacks were useless against Xuan Wei, not to mention divine energy attacks. The stalemate was the only way.
Clearly, nobody was optimistic about Lu Li's chances. Lu Li was following in Tian Zhen's footsteps. His speed was limited. It seemed that he could only watch helplessly as he was tortured and then teleported out.
Xiang Linglong was worried, but Lu Ling was not. It was said that Lu Li had killed three warriors at the middle stage of the Sixth Tribulation.
Therefore, Lu Li's abilities could not be what they seemed to be. He must have some powerful moves that he hadn't used yet.
As time went on, Lu Li's wounds seemed to be getting worse. But he was still struggling.
His armor was in tatters and blood was coming out of his mouth. His breaths were getting weaker. But he didn't admit defeat. He was holding on.
"Brother Feng, why do you have to do this?
Just give up. I really don't want to keep attacking you. "
"Brother Feng, just give up. It's not necessary!"
Xuan Wei kept sending messages to Lu Li. But Lu Li made up his mind. He was like a stubborn kid, unwilling to admit defeat and unwilling to give up.
Xuan Wei was helpless and hypocritical to the extreme. After a while, Lu Li said, "Brother Xuan, if you are a man, then give me a quick death. Don't torture me with soft words.
I promised the old man that I would fight with all my might. Come on, knock me out and give me a dignified way to get off the stage. "
"Fine!"
Xuan Wei thought for a while. He didn't release the Earth Drilling Rat. As far as he could tell, Lu Li was seriously injured. Not even a lord could survive, let alone a fifth tribulation warrior.
Xuan Wei didn't want to waste any more time. He wanted to inflict a heavy blow on Lu Li and shatter Lu Li's hope.
Xuan Wei dashed over like a mad dragon. He wanted to fight Lu Li face to face and defeat him fair and square.
Xuan Wei wanted others to see that apart from the unorthodox ways, the Rainwater Sect could also defeat the enemy head-on.
"Here is my chance!"
Lu Li, on the other hand, was laughing on the inside. It seemed that he was badly injured, but it was not a big deal. He had tricked Xuan Wei successfully.
