"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Everyone released their Bead of Life and Lu Li released his Fate Wheel. They all dashed forward in a flash. Their psychic power was focused on the four Feather Race warriors.
"Wait —"
Lu Li yelled in surprise. Without any hesitation, he shouted, "This is a trap. Retreat!"
They all had their psychic power locked onto the four Feather Race warriors. They seemed to be in a panic but their souls weren't shaken. Lu Li's psychic power penetrated into their souls and he could tell this clearly.
They were in a dilemma but Lu Li had already flown back the way he came.
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Qiling chose to trust Lu Li. She controlled her Bead of Life to go back and shouted, "Retreat!"
Jiang Qiling's choice was right. In the distance, there was a fluctuation of Inhibition Formations in some woods and grasses.
Then more than 100 Feather Race warriors flew up and dashed toward Lu Li and the others like a swarm of locusts.
"Lady Qi, you go first. We will cover you!"
Jiang Hu looked back and saw that the Feather Race were faster than them. He shouted at once.
Their mission here was to protect Jiang Qiling and die for her. It was time for them to play their role.
Jiang Qiling glanced over to the warriors behind them and said coldly, "Don't be silly. The Feather Race is not strong enough. We will retreat as we fight.
As long as we can go back to the cave we came out from, we will not be afraid of the Feather Race.
Jiang Hu, listen to me or I will not run away. "
Jiang Hu looked at the determination in Jiang Qiling's eyes. He knew he could not convince this silly lady. He turned to Lu Li and said, "Young Master Lu, take our lady and go first."
Lu Li threw a glance to the Feather Race warriors behind him and said coldly, "Listen to your lady. If things go south, I will take her and run away."
There was no other way.
Jiang Hu took out a saber. The others took out their weapons and put on armors.
Jiang Qiling put on a beautiful red armor. She looked at Lu Li and asked, "Lu Li, don't you have an armor?"
"I don't need one!"
Lu Li shook his head. Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact armors were of little use and he could not buy Holy Grade armors.
He had always believed that offense was the best defense and he preferred to defend by attacking.
"Buzzing!"
A few dozen of them flew through the air, while others charged at the Harpies behind them.
Jiang Hu and the others were amazed again. Coming from a big family, they knew what they were seeing. It was definitely not a Xuan Skill, but a Ultimacy.
Lu Li had learned a Profound Meaning at the Eternal Realm and he had such a horrifying silver claw. There were so many miraculous things about Lu Li that nobody dared to belittle him.
The Feather Race was stunned to see so many clones of Lu Li flying over. Many of them were holding sabers and were filled with killing intent. The Feather Race was on high alert.
The Harpies were very similar to humans in terms of appearance. The Harpies were all very handsome, and their facial features were exquisite. Their figures were tall and slender, and their mannerisms were elegant.
The only difference between them and humans was the pair of white wings on their backs. The wings were more than three feet long. With the help of the wings, they could glide faster than Jiang Hu. They should be at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm.
"Chi chi —"
Seeing Lu Li's clones coming, the hundreds of Feather Race warriors' rings glowed as they took out beautiful bows.
The bows glowed. Arrows of different colors whooshed out. The arrows were surrounded by colorful lights and they were horrifying.
The clones were shattered one by one. The Feather Race warriors kept on chasing after them.
They didn't mind Lu Li's clones that were flying to different directions. They fanned out toward the Feather Race warriors.
"Swish, swish ~"
Arrows of different colors whooshed across the sky. Shrill noises rose and fell. Horrifying killing intent locked onto the Feather Race warriors.
"Hoy!"
Jiang Hu and the others took actions as well. While running, they shot out Xuan Energy backhandedly.
Some used sword light, some punched, and some used palms …
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The profound energy attack and the long arrows collided, causing a violent explosion. Although those arrows still pierced through the air, their speed had obviously decreased, and their power was naturally weakened.
However, there were too many Feather Race warriors. There were more than 100 of them, but there were only 12.
What was more, the Feather Race warriors were so fast. They kept on shooting. Inevitably, many arrows dodged the Feather Race warriors' Xuan Energy attacks and were aimed at their backs.
The Feather Race warriors could not use Xuan Energy to fight back. They had to use their weapons to fend off the arrows and dodge.
Soon, someone was hit. Luckily, they were far away and all of them were wearing Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact armors.
Jiang Qiling was wearing a Holy Grade Xuan Artifact armor. The arrows bounced off when they hit her.
Lu Li was actually the most relaxed here. With a casual wave of his silver claws, the arrows would be crushed into powder. They couldn't even hit him.
They had walked for hundreds of miles since they came out from the cave. In the outside world, they could reach the cave in the time for a dozen breaths.
However, the gravity here was so strong that their speed was limited. It would take them the time for at least two incense sticks to burn to reach the cave.
If they didn't fight back, few of them could make it to the cave.
"Hmm!"
Jiang Qiling snorted and released her Bloodline Skill. Jiang Hu released his Soulfeast Butterflies as well.
In an instant, the butterflies danced around. Lu Li and Jiang Hu released their clones to confuse the Feather Race warriors.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
A Feather Race warrior shouted in a strange way. It sounded like an ancient language spoken by the races of the Deserted World.
The Feather Race warriors acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They spread out and dodged the attacks of the Soulfeast Butterflies.
Jiang Qiling seemed to be able to understand the language of the Feather Race. She said angrily, "These bastards know about our Jiang Family Bloodline Skill. I am so angry!"
Lu Li rolled his eyes. The four alien races had been at war with the humans for so many years. How could they not know about the Bloodline Skill of the 12 Royal Families?
Soulfeast Butterflies were of the eighth rank Bloodline and their features were so obvious. It was not surprising that the Feather Race knew about it.
They had released so many Soulfeast Butterflies but they only hit two of the Feather Race.
The other Feather Race warriors had already spread out. The Soulfeast Butterflies couldn't fly too far so they had to disappear in midair.
"Whoosh!"
The Feather Race warriors spread out to dodge the attacks of the Soulfeast Butterflies. Soon, they caught up and kept shooting.
This was a common tactic of the Feather Race. They would attack from a distance and kill as many as they could.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the same time. Jiang Hu and the others were hit. Their armors cracked and were damaged beyond recognition. Some of them were wounded but none was seriously injured.
"I will cover you. You go first. I have a Holy Grade armor. These arrows cannot hurt me!"
Jiang Qiling snorted. She slowed down. How could Jiang Hu and the others rest assured if they stayed behind?
They slowed down. Lu Li sighed and said, "You go first. Lady Qi and I will cover you.
Don't worry. I am fast, much faster than you.
If there is danger, I will take Lady Qi with me and run.
Go now or you will all die. "
"Your speed?"
They didn't see Lu Li use the Speed Profound Meaning so they were hesitating. Jiang Qiling snorted and said, "Get out of here or I will kill you all!"
Seeing that Jiang Qiling had lost her temper, they had no choice but to run on.
Jiang Qiling and Lu Li stayed behind. Lu Li controlled his Fate Wheel to fly forward. He turned around.
Facing the arrows flying at him, he waved his silver claw and crushed them one by one.
Jiang Qiling was more relaxed. She stood on her Bead of Life and let the Feather Race warriors shoot at her. She must have taken many pellets to refine her body since she was young. Her body was strong.
Even though she was hit by the arrows and her body was trembling, she didn't look pale and there was no blood coming out from the corner of her mouth.
With the two of them covering for them, Jiang Hu and the others could run faster. They arrived at the exit of the cave safely.
Seeing that Jiang Hu and the others were out of danger, Lu Li was emboldened.
He looked at Jiang Qiling and said, "Jiang Qiling, we have been chased by those birdmen for half a day. Shall we go and vent our anger?"
"Okay!"
