Patriarch Qi was also at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, but his fighting capacity was recognized by the Zhao Family. For more than a decade, he had risked his life for the Zhao Family and made great contributions. He enjoyed high prestige in the Zhao Family.
As far as the warriors at the Xuan Wu Realm were concerned, Patriarch Qi was definitely a powerful warrior even though his fighting capacity was not as good as the top 10 Patriarchs of the Zhao Family. The dozens of warriors at the scene even believed that they could not survive one move from Patriarch Qi.
Now, he was killed by a young man with one move!
The gap was so big that Zhao Rui and the others were dumbfounded. They could not come to their senses yet.
It was not until a man nearby screamed in pain after his hand was bitten off by a Stone Rat that everyone came to their senses.
However, no one knew what to do, including Zhao Rui!
Fight?
Were they going to court death?
Patriarch Qi could be killed with one move, and there was no trace of it. He could be killed in a head-on fight.
It was pointless for the others to rush over, except for seeking their own deaths.
Run?
Two Patriarchs of the Spirit Sea Realm were killed, and several warriors were killed. So many people were wounded. Many people were not willing to retreat just like this.
Zhao Rui did not give the order to retreat, so they dared not to.
"Swish!"
They did not move, but Lu Li did. He rushed towards Zhao Rui like a sharp sword. He stared at Zhao Rui coldly and shouted, "Zhao Rui, go to hell —"
This roar woke everyone up again. They rushed towards Zhao Rui at once.
Zhao Rui was scared as well. If he was chased by Lu Li, would he be killed with one move?
"Retreat!"
Zhao Rui shouted at once and ran towards the south with several warriors. The other warriors on the hillside all ran towards the south in panic by bypassing Lu Li.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li suddenly changed his direction and caught up with two warriors of the Zhao Family. His long saber cut through the air and swept across.
One of the warriors of the Zhao Family was cut in half at the waist. The other one was scared out of his wits. He shook his long spear and stabbed at Lu Li randomly.
"Clank ~"
Lu Li casually swept his saber with 100,000 pounds of strength. That warrior's long spear was smashed away, leaving the middle open. Lu Li cut down with his saber and killed another warrior.
Zhao Rui had run away after killing two warriors in a row.
Lu Li stopped and shouted to Zhao Rui, "Zhao Rui, bring more bodyguards next time, or I will kill you!"
Zhao Rui did not reply and quickly disappeared into the distance with a group of people.
Lu Li stood where he was and did not chase after them. When everyone disappeared, he immediately ran towards the peak of the mountain. He grabbed the jute bag with the eagle eggs in it and rushed down. He found a cave and crawled into it.
It was not that he did not want to kill Zhao Rui, but he could not. The Bloodline Divine Skill could only last for 15 minutes. If Zhao Rui and the others did not retreat, he would be the one to die.
Bang!
There were Stone Rats in the cave, but Whitey's aura suppressed them.
Just a few hundred feet into the cave, Lu Li blacked out and fell to the ground.
The backlash of releasing the Bloodline Skill came. He was so weak that he couldn't even open his eyes. He shouted at Little White and asked it to protect him before passing out.
…
After a long time, Lu Li woke up. He looked around and found himself still in the cave with Little White next to him. None of the Stone Rats dared to move. Lu Li was relieved.
He sat up and rubbed his face fiercely. After sorting out his thoughts, he looked at Xiao Bai with lingering fear.
It was too dangerous. Three warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm and dozens of warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm.
He had survived and killed two warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm. Lu Li found it hard to believe just thinking about it.
"Little White, thank you!"
Lu Li carried Little White in his arms. Little White stuck out its tongue and kissed Lu Li's palm. However, it had just eaten Patriarch Piao's flesh, so its mouth was full of the taste of blood …
"Let's go!"
This was not a place to stay for long. Lu Li tied the jute bags to his back and ran out with Little White. He walked out of the cave and checked around. After making sure that there was nobody around, he left in strides.
"Something is not right —"
Lu Li thought about it and ran towards the bodies of Patriarch Piao and Patriarch Qi. The two bodies were already eaten by the Red Phosphorus Hawks and the Stone Rats, but their armors and weapons were still there.
"Good stuff!"
The armors were not easy for Lu Li to take off. They were all dyed red with blood.
He picked up Patriarch Piao's long spear and Patriarch Qi's long sword and ran away.
He didn't dare to go straight to the south. Instead, he went to the southwest.
The road to the southwest was even more difficult. There were thousands of ravines, thistles and thorns everywhere, and poisonous insects were everywhere.
Lu Li had to carry the jute bags on his back, which made it even more difficult to walk. His legs were scratched by the thistles and thorns.
Fortunately, there were many poisonous insects here, but no powerful Xuan Beasts. They ran into more than a dozen Xuan Beasts of the First Rank, but Lu Li didn't even have to do anything. Little White's qi and energy directly suppressed them.
It was getting dark. Lu Li found a cave early in the morning to spend the night. The visibility at night was poor, and there would be more poisonous insects and beasts.
He dared not to travel at night. It was getting dark, and Lu Li asked Little White to protect him.
Lu Li went into meditation to cultivate after he ate some dried food and asked Little White to protect him.
He had opened up almost half of his last energy channel. He wanted to open it up as soon as possible so that he could think of a way to condense Spirit Sea.
He cultivated until midnight. He could not stand it anymore and fell asleep. The next day, he got up at dawn and continued on his way.
Zhao Rui and the others had left, but there were many powerful warriors of the Zhao Family near the Frigid Cloud Mountain. If the Zhao Family sent out a powerful warrior at the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm or even the latter stage, Lu Li would not be able to escape.
The road was still difficult to walk on. Lu Li hurried on with all his might and finally arrived at the edge of the cliff by noon.
When he came here, he climbed up from the cliff. There was only one way up the Frigid Cloud Mountain. He did not know the situation over there, so naturally, he dared not to go down the mountain rashly.
"Ancient Vines!"
Lu Li found some ancient vines and weaved them into a long rope. He tied one end to himself and the other to a tree. Then he climbed down the cliff quickly.
The cliff was not too steep, nor was it as smooth as a mirror. There were small trees and rocks protruding out everywhere. Lu Li got down the cliff easily.
"Go!"
Going down the cliff was equivalent to going down the Frigid Cloud Mountain. The road ahead would be a flat plain. It would be much more difficult for the Zhao Family to catch up with him.
Lu Li's spirit was boosted. After some exploration, he ran on in strides.
He did not go straight to the Wu Ling County, nor did he go back the way he came. Instead, he took a detour to the county from the southwest.
He ran towards the southwest for 10 hours at the top of his speed and found a small town at dusk.
"Should I go in or not?"
Lu Li was a bit hesitant. There was a tavern in the small town where he could have a good rest, a hot meal, and a comfortable bath.
However, if he went in, there would be too many people inside. There might be spies of the Zhao Family. His whereabouts would be easily exposed.
"Go in!"
After some thoughts, he decided to take the risk. However, before he went in, he messed up his hair and he was dirty. In this way, the possibility of being recognized would be greatly reduced.
He needed information. He needed to figure out the direction and the route to the Wu Ling County.
He should not be far from the Wu Ling County. If he hurried on the road tomorrow, he would arrive at the Wu Ling County in a couple of hours. Even if Zhao Rui and the others wanted to catch up with him, it would be difficult.
Lu Li waited outside for an hour. When it was completely dark, he walked into the small town with his head down.
It was dinner time, so there were not many people on the road. Nobody paid attention to him.
He found the only tavern in the small town. A waiter saw him like this and quickly came out to stop him. Lu Li handed over the two Golden Leaves that he had prepared and said in a deep voice, "Give me a private room. I want quiet. Now!"
Seeing the five Golden Leaves, the waiter's eyes turned into crescent moons. He showed Lu Li to the backyard and gave him a private room.
