Lu Li, Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were more than 300 miles away from the Mountain City.
Unfortunately, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were not fast enough. Song He and Song Qiao had caught up with them.
Yu Huashen threw Lu Li to Ming Yu. His eyes glowed red as he shouted, "Ming Yu, run with Young Master. I will stall them for a bit."
Yu Huashen was quite good at defense. His Sparks Profound Meaning combined with his Bloodline Skill made his defense much stronger than Ming Yu's.
If Ming Yu were to stay, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Ming Yu didn't waste any time. He carried Lu Li and flew on. Lu Li looked at Song He and Song Qiao who were flying over from the distance. He shouted in rage, "Song He, how dare you touch my man? I will destroy your entire family in the future!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, if you want to wipe out the Song Family, you must survive today."
Song He laughed, not minding Yu Huashen's words. He saw the Bloodline mark on Yu Huashen's neck glowed and so did his own. So did Song Qiao.
"Prairie Fire!"
Yu Huashen shouted in a deep voice. Fireballs flew over, sweeping towards Song He and Song Qiao from all directions.
Song He sneered. He moved and left behind a series of shadows. His speed suddenly sped up. Not even Yu Huashen could see where he was.
When Yu Huashen checked with psychic power, he found that Song He had gone past him and was going after Ming Yu and Lu Li.
"Song Qiao, I will leave him to you."
Song He's voice came from the distance. He had never thought about fighting with Yu Huashen.
His purpose today was to kill Lu Li and take Little White and the Coffin of the Dragon King.
Killing the others was secondary. Song He wouldn't waste time on Yu Huashen.
Song He's Body Skill was similar to Lu Li's Apparition Skill. There were shadows all over the sky. However, Song He's were shadows while Lu Li's were clones.
Song He's sudden increase in speed caused people's vision to hallucinate, forming many afterimages.
"Stop!"
Yu Huashen was shocked. Ming Yu was only at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm. Once Ming Yu caught up with him, both he and Lu Li would die.
Yu Huashen chased after Song He with all his might. He shot out fire dragons towards Song He.
"Hehe, your speed is not good enough!"
Song He's cold laughter came from afar. His speed increased again, and his body turned into a series of afterimages.
Yu Huashen's fire dragon could only shatter the shadows one by one. He could not catch up with Song He.
"Your opponent is me."
Song Qiao sneered. He released his Bloodline Skill. The branches of the tree grew longer all of a sudden, reaching up to the sky and trapping Yu Huashen inside.
"Starfire Burns the Sky!"
Yu Huashen shouted in rage. Flames surged into his Bead of Life from his Bloodline Mark and then turned into blue flames, spreading to all directions. The branches that were flying toward him were all set ablaze.
His body shot out, but the countless vines in the sky were like ten thousand poisonous snakes that shot towards him, and in an instant, he was entangled again …
"It's over!"
The Song Family Bloodline Skill was too tricky to deal with. Song Qiao was at the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm and was quite powerful. Lu Li couldn't even get away, let alone kill Song Qiao.
Song He was on his way. Could Lu Li and Ming Yu survive the attacks of warriors at the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm?
…
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li and the others had just run for more than 10 miles when they heard a noise coming from behind them. Lu Li looked back, only to see a sky full of shadows. Song He had caught up with them.
"Shadows?
Apparition? "
Lu Li blinked his eyes in confusion. Song He's afterimages were all over the place. It looked like he was using Apparition.
Ming Yu scanned with psychic power and found out where Song He was.
He could tell at once that this was different from Apparition. It was just that when Song He's speed reached a certain limit, it was just an illusion.
The enemies had caught up. Ming Yu had no other choice but to fight till the end.
He threw Lu Li forward and shouted, "Young Master, run. I will hold them off!"
Lu Li was smashed away for more than 300 feet and landed on a small hill in the distance. Ming Yu unsheathed his sword and released his Bead of Life at the same time. He shouted, "Force, suppress!"
The surrounding winds and clouds moved, and a powerful spatial force pressed down, suppressing Song He.
Song He's flying body slowed down. Ming Yu waved his long sword, shooting out rays of silver sword light that tore through the air and headed straight for Song He.
"Small fry!"
Song He sneered. The purple mark on his neck glowed. Then many vines came out from his body. The vines intertwined and formed a huge round shield in front of Ming Yu.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
The ray of sword light landed on the shield of vines, shredding many vines.
However, there were dozens of layers of vines. The ray of sword light only managed to tear apart several layers of vines before it ran out of energy and disappeared.
"Go —"
Some of the vines that Song He controlled missed. Ming Yu's Force, which had suppressed the space nearby, collapsed at once.
Song He moved around Ming Yu in a blur, trying to kill Lu Li.
"Suppress!"
Ming Yu would not let Song He break through. He released Force again and shot out several rays of sword light. This time, there was a golden glow in the front of the ray of sword light, which made the ray of sword light sharper.
This was a Xuan Skill that Ming Yu had learned recently. It could add some golden energy to the ray of sword light, which could increase the power of attacks. But he hadn't mastered it yet so he didn't use it.
"Piss off!"
Song He slowed down again. He flew into a rage. First, he released a shield made of vines to block Ming Yu's ray of sword light.
Then, he intertwined some vines together and turned them into a huge whip.
"Swish ~"
The whip cut through the sky like a dragon's tail. It broke Ming Yu's Force that suppressed the space. With a horrifying qi and energy, the whip moved toward Ming Yu abruptly.
"Bang!"
The whip was so fast. There was a purple and green glare on it. It contained some unknown power. The whip landed on Ming Yu at once.
Ming Yu's Heaven-ranked Xuan Artifact Battle Armor shattered layer by layer. His body was thrown forward and smashed into a small hill, causing the hill to shake and the rocks to crack.
"Whoosh ~"
Song He left Ming Yu alone. He chased after Lu Li, leaving only a blur behind him. However, as soon as he started flying, another surge of energy came down from the sky.
Ming Yu shot out from the hill. His body was badly mutilated. His eyes were filled with determination as if he was telling Song He in a silent way — if he wanted to kill Lu Li, he must step over his dead body.
Ming Yu looked at Song He but used his psychic power to check behind him. He wanted to see how far Lu Li had gone.
Unexpectedly, he found that Lu Li didn't run at all.
He was standing on a hill about 300 feet behind Ming Yu, watching the fight with a silly look on his face …
Ming Yu suddenly looked back to Lu Li and shouted, "Young Master, what are you doing?
Run now! "
So many people were risking their lives to stop the pursuing warriors just to let Lu Li run away. They were trying to buy time for the warriors of the Palace of Aries to arrive. How could Lu Li just stand there like a fool?
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Song He laughed sarcastically. How far could a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm go?
The young man was standing in the hill in confusion. He must be scared out of his wits.
"Since you want to die, I will send you to hell first and then I will send your Young Master to accompany you!"
