Twelve Semi-God Realm warriors against five Semi-God Realm warriors. Unless the five Semi-God Realm warriors had nature-defying abilities, or one of them had earth-shattering combat abilities, there was basically no suspense.
Jun Hongye and the others were average Semi-God Realm warriors. Apart from Jun Hongye who had learned a ninth-rank Profound Meaning, the others only had eighth-rank ones.
Jun Hongye and the Semi-God Realm warriors of the Hao Family had ninth-rank Bloodlines, but so did the Feng Family and the Qi Family.
Therefore, the outcome of the battle was already decided at the beginning. There was almost no suspense.
As expected, Lu Li retreated as soon as the battle began. By staying here, he was starting a war. Since the two sides had started, they wouldn't stop. Why wouldn't he leave? Why would he stay for dinner?
"Whoosh ~"
The Wicked Bead flew toward the east instead of the City of Feng. Jun Hongye and the other four wanted to go after the Wicked Bead, but they had to save their own lives first.
Feng Family, Qi Family and other powerful warriors of the Central Imperial Universe didn't stop Lu Li. They couldn't even if they wanted to. They just let Lu Li go.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
From behind them came a loud noise of explosion. Through the Wicked Bead, Lu Li could sense that the space behind them was trembling. Huge cracks in space were tearing up the sky. Needless to say, the battle was tragic. Jun Hongye and the other four might lose their lives in the City of Hell.
"No one followed me?
How about … we go straight to primal chaos city? "
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li realized that there were no Semi-God Realm warriors chasing after him. He had an idea.
He was not far away from the City of Chaos. Jun Hongye and those from the Central Imperial Universe were fighting. If he was lucky enough to arrive at the City of Chaos and there were no Semi-God Realm warriors there, he could send out some Earth Immortal Realm warriors and then dash into the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
As long as he could reach the Primal Chaos Purgatory, everything else would be easy to handle. He would return the dragon to the sea and the bird to the sky.
Once he successfully entered the Water Prison, he would be completely safe. Since Earth Immortal Realm experts couldn't enter, why should he be afraid of a Human Sovereign?
"Let's go, let's take a look around Primal Chaos City and see what's going on!"
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. If worse came to worst, he could stay and wander around in the Central Imperial Universe.
The Wicked Bead could fly as fast as an Earth Immortal Realm warrior. It would take them three to four days at most to reach the City of Chaos.
"Hehe!"
What Lu Li didn't know was that — in the mountains down below, there were scouts lurking everywhere. Those scouts all carried a special stone that could release a kind of Inhibition Formation. If one didn't look carefully, they would be hard to notice.
Lu Li was in a hurry to get to the City of Chaos. Even if some scouts noticed him, they wouldn't care.
"Send a message to Third Progenitor. Lu Li is heading toward the City of Chaos!"
A scout leader came out from the cave he was hiding in after Lu Li flew away. A scout next to him crushed a jade talisman at once to inform Lu Li.
On his way to the City of Chaos, Lu Li was surrounded by scouts.
The Feng Family had set up a trap. Lu Li's whereabouts were in the Feng Family's hands. They were just waiting for Lu Li to fall into their trap.
The battle at the City of Hell was in full swing. Jun Hongye and the others were fighting with their backs to the wall. There was no way out.
Either they beat back the warriors of the Central Imperial Universe or they would die here.
Their only advantage was their unity and willingness to risk their lives.
They believed that as long as they could kill some powerful warriors of the Feng Family and the Qi Family, the other families wouldn't risk their lives. After all, they were not united. They had a way out …
That was what the five of them did. They worked together to attack three warriors of the Feng Family. At the cost of four wounded, they succeeded in killing a Semi-God Realm warrior of the Feng Family.
Then, the five of them turned around and began to attack a Qi Family progenitor warrior. Another Semi-God Realm warrior of the Jun Family died. Jun Hongye killed a Qi Family progenitor warrior with his halberd.
In the time for a dozen breaths, two Semi-God Realm warriors were killed. The five's madness had stunned the other Semi-God Realm warriors of the Central Imperial Universe.
The five had no regard for their own lives. It was as if they had become lunatics of the Mage Imperial Universe.
That being said …
Jun Hongye had underestimated the determination of the Qi Family, the Feng Family and the other families of the Central Imperial Universe. They didn't have a way out, but neither did the Central Imperial Universe.
If the Wicked Bead was taken by Jun Hongye, then the entire Central Imperial Universe would be plunged into a bloodbath. Even the ancestral lands where the families were hiding might be found.
Therefore, the death of two Semi-God Realm warriors of the Central Imperial Universe didn't make them want to retreat. Instead, they were aroused. If Jun Hongye and the others wanted to die, then so be it.
The Semi-God Realm warriors of the Central Imperial Universe began to put up a desperate fight. There were more than a dozen of them, and they couldn't kill the five?
If the news got out, the families would be disgraced.
Jun Hongye and the others felt the pressure was multiplied as the powerful warriors of the families fought with their lives on the line. There were only four of them left. Faced with attacks from all sides, their hands were tied.
Unless they were prepared to die with one of them, or else, they would have to dodge and resist.
Naturally, Jun Hongye didn't want to die. Neither did the Li Family Patriarch. The two were the pillars of their families. Their deaths would bring chaos to their families.
They were united at first. However, when one or two of them were afraid of death, the tables were turned. The formation was disrupted, making it harder for them to fight back.
"Ah ~"
The Semi-God Realm warrior of the Hao Family was already injured. His Quasi Relic was broken by the joint attack of the Qi Family and the Feng Family progenitor. He fell down like a kite with a broken string.
Two Semi-God Realm warriors went after him and bombarded the Hao Family Semi-God Realm warrior. The Hao Family Semi-God Realm warrior was either dead or not far from it.
Jun Hongye and the Li Family Patriarch looked at each other. Both of them wanted to retreat.
Just because Jun Hongye wanted to retreat didn't mean he would give up on the Wicked Bead. He just wanted to avoid the fight for the time being.
"Let's go ~"
Jun Hongye yelled. He generated a stream of energy which washed away the three Semi-God Realm warriors in front of him like a wave. Jun Hongye flew away and soon vanished into the horizon.
"Brother Ren, run!"
On the other side, the Li Family Patriarch began to run away. He vanished in midair and reappeared three hundred miles away.
Next, he disappeared from the sky once more, only to reappear 500 kilometres away. He continued to teleport and flee.
"Sh * t …"
Seeing that Jun Hongye and the Li Family Patriarch had run away, the Ren Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior cursed the females of the Jun Family and the Li Family. Didn't they say they would fight to the death?
Didn't they say they would advance and retreat together?
The Ren Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior felt his mind was weighed down as he looked at those around him who were staring at him with hostility.
"Swish, swish ~"
Horrifying attacks came from all sides. Soon, the Ren Family Semi-God Realm warrior was drowned. It was too late for him to run away. Soon, he was killed.
The few Semi-God Realm warriors who flew down from below flew up. The Semi-God Realm warriors of the Hao Family had been killed.
"Go!"
The Feng Family progenitor's face was glowing. Even though a Semi-God Realm warrior of his family had died, the situation was under his control.
Even if Jun Hongye and the Li Family Patriarch had run away, an area with a radius of three hundred miles was his people. As long as he could kill the two in a couple of days, everything would be fine.
More importantly, Lu Li had controlled the Wicked Bead to fly toward the City of Chaos. Everything was going according to his plan.
Lu Li thought that since all the Semi-God Realm warriors of the Central Imperial Universe were here and there were no powerful warriors in the City of Chaos, it would be a good way to escape.
As a matter of fact, there were three more Semi-God Realm warriors in the City of Chaos.
The Feng Family progenitor had set up a trap. He was waiting for Lu Li to jump into it.
