"Boom!"
The Dharma Idol collided with the first black sphere, and as expected, an intense explosion occurred. The nearby space was torn apart, and if it wasn't for the protection of the powerful Heavenly Divine Imprints, the entire mountain would have been flattened.
Lu Li tried his best to stabilize himself. Inevitably, he was knocked back for thousands of feet. At the moment, the second black ball was coming down and more were coming.
"Retreat —"
Lu Li knew that if he did not step back, what awaited him would be a serious injury or even death.
Qian Gang's attack was overwhelming. It was perfect for the terrain. It was more powerful than Qian Liu's ice attack.
Going up the mountain was difficult, but going down was easy. Lu Li stepped back and moved to the side. The black balls were rolling down the mountain in a horrifying manner.
"Boom!"
"Ah —"
At that moment, a Demon Lord came up. He could not react in time and was smashed away by the black balls. The Demon Lord bellowed with hidden bitterness, "Qian Gang, we have no quarrel. Why are you attacking me?"
"Buzzing ~"
The black balls suddenly vanished. Qian Gang did not expect that a Demon Lord would come up at this moment. He reappeared where he was and touched his nose in embarrassment. But he did not explain.
He enjoyed a high status in the Asmodians' Abyss. It would not be a big deal if he accidentally hurt this Demon Lord. The worst that the Demon Lord could do was to say something.
"Move!"
Lu Li rushed up again. He had not figured out a way to crack the black balls but he had to. He had to cover for Blood Fairy.
The longer he stayed, the easier it would be for Qian Gang to notice.
At the same time, Lu Li yelled, "Qian Gang, come closer if you have the guts. I can crush you easily. You have the terrain advantage. What kind of hero are you?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Qian Gang laughed. "Okay, come on. I will let you come closer. Let's see how you kill me."
Lu Li strode up and took out some strange things in his hands. They were treasures, such as a Lotus Lamp of Nine Treasures, which was spinning around him, and a feather fan, which was glowing with a divine light.
But none of those items were of much use. Lu Li was only trying to distract Qian Gang. Blood Fairy must be busy building formations. Lu Li was trying to buy her time.
"Hehe!"
Seeing Lu Li taking out treasures, Qian Gang was filled with disdain. He even took out a fruit and began to eat it. His expression and behavior were extremely sarcastic.
Twenty thousand zhang, twenty-five thousand zhang!
Sure enough, Qian Gang didn't attack. Lu Li readied his sword of soul and the horn. He climbed up to more than 1000 feet. When Lu Li was about to attack, Qian Gang vanished into thin air.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Following that, more black balls appeared out of thin air and rolled down with shocking momentum. Lu Li continued to attack and blew up two balls. However, he was knocked back again.
In the end, he had no choice but to retreat quickly and hide to the side.
"Keep coming up!"
Qian Gang sneered. Lu Li felt a headache coming on. If Blood Fairy's formation was useless, Lu Li would not be able to go up with Qian Gang guarding. He would have no chance.
Qian Gang's black ball attack should be unbreakable in this kind of terrain.
Even if his battle prowess was similar to Qian Gang's, as long as he was above, the experts below would not be able to go up.
The black ball's explosion was horrifying and it kept on rolling down. How many black balls could one withstand? Could one withstand dozens or even hundreds?
Qian Gang should be able to release an infinite number of black balls. Then who could go up?
Lu Li did not take a break. He slowed down a bit so that he could buy himself some time.
Two hours could be a long time but it could also be a short time. After about 10 strikes, Blood Fairy would be able to finish.
As expected, the third time was a failure. Lu Li was injured …
It was not that Lu Li could not step back quickly. He did it on purpose to numb Qian Gang, to "entertain" him, to distract Qian Gang from the underground.
This time, Lu Li and Qian Gang even exchanged some words.
Seeing that Lu Li was injured, Qian Gang was excited. He challenged Lu Li to come up again.
Lu Li took some healing pellets and rested for the time for half an incense stick to burn. Then, as if he could not wait any longer, he dashed up again. This time, he used chains of order to attack the black balls. He smashed four black balls but he was knocked back as well. His injury was worse …
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Qian Gang was overjoyed. He could not stop laughing. To him, Lu Li was more like a clown. Qian Gang would toss coins to the clown and let the clown roll on the ground to make him laugh.
"Lu Li!"
Seeing that Lu Li was taking healing pellets and sitting on the ground to heal, Qian Gang continued to provoke, "Do you dare to come up again?"
Lu Li opened his eyes in anger and said, "My son, is this all you can do?
If you have the guts, try something else to stop me. "
"Why not!"
Qian Gang seemed to be afraid that Lu Li would not dare to come up again. He said with confidence, "Fine, come up. I will not use the black balls this time!"
"Okay, you wait and see. I will kill you this time!" Lu Li yelled in anger. He closed his eyes and sat down to heal.
This time, the healing only lasted for the time for one incense stick to burn. Lu Li stood up again. This time, when he was more than two thousand and fifteen hundred feet away, the Heaven's Gang disappeared. Then, many huge black hands appeared above Lu Li's head. The huge hands kept slapping down with the weight of a mountain.
"Boom!"
Lu Li only managed to hold on for a moment before he had to admit defeat. He tumbled down and his injuries became more serious.
As a matter of fact, he could have lasted longer. He even sensed Qian Gang's soul but he did not release the sword of soul.
He was not sure that he could hurt Qian Gang. He did not want to alert Qian Gang. He had stalled for a long time. In a moment, Blood Fairy would be done.
"Lu Li, kid, are you convinced now?" Qian Gang shouted.
"No!" Lu Li yelled and said in anger, "Just you wait and see!"
Lu Li rested for the time for one incense stick to burn and rushed up again. Once again, he was smashed down.
Then, he would rest and heal but he would be smashed down again, over and over again.
"Boring!"
At first, Lady Jing was enjoying the game. Later on, she felt it was boring. It was like children playing house, not exciting at all.
She stood up and was ready to go up. She didn't want to stay here and watch the boring game.
At that moment, she seemed to have sensed something. She looked down and paused for a moment. A puff of smoke spread out from her and seeped into the ground.
A moment later, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Using a voice that only she could hear, she murmured, "Interesting. I almost believed this act. This human is very smart. Pretending to be a plank road, but secretly plotting. It seems like Qian Gang is going to suffer."
Lady Jing did not tell Qian Gang about Blood Fairy secretly building runes in the ground. She did not like Qian Gang.
She was just bored and wanted to watch a show. She thought there would be nothing interesting. Little did she expect that there would be a pleasant surprise.
