Being glanced at by Lu Li's silver eyes, Zhao Rui felt a chill in his heart. He felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
Just now, he shot the arrow just to stop Lu Li from killing Di Ba. Little did he expect that Lu Li had his eyes on him.
Looking into the silver eyes, Zhao Rui remembered that Lu Li killed two Patriarchs in a row on the Red Stone Mountain. Just now, Lu Li killed another two warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm, including Uncle Ni who was at the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Zhao Rui was scared out of his wits. Two warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm died on his side, and Di Ba was about to be killed as well.
The west gate was doomed. If he didn't retreat now, he wouldn't even have a chance to run away.
The four families were besieging the Liu Family. The south gate was the real battlefield!
With Lord Yu here, it was impossible for the four families to lose.
On thinking of this, Zhao Rui ran away at once. He was of noble status and was about to become the son of the Wu Ling County's Castellan. There was no need for him to fight against Lu Li.
"Lu Li, capture Zhao Rui alive!"
A delicate shout came from the room. It was Lu Ling's voice.
Without hesitation, Lu Li rushed towards where Zhao Rui was running with his saber in his hand.
Lu Li had understood Lu Ling's intention after he killed several warriors in his way.
If they could capture Zhao Rui, at least they would have a card in their hands. No matter how the situation turned out, the sister and brother could escape the Wu Ling County with this card.
Lu Ling said to kill everyone except Zhao Rui. It seemed that she had planned to capture Zhao Rui alive.
"Stop him, stop him!"
Zhao Rui had just arrived at the gate of the Guest Clan when he saw Lu Li rushing out of the crowd in an unstoppable manner.
Some warriors of the Zhao Family risked their lives to come forward. Unfortunately, none of them could survive one move from Lu Li. Lu Li burst out from the crowd easily and chased after Zhao Rui like a ferocious tiger. He was getting closer to Zhao Rui.
"Lu Ling?"
Hearing Lu Ling's voice, Di Ba suddenly looked towards the yard of the Lu Family.
Seeing a black shadow at the window, Di Ba jumped up and rushed towards the yard of the Lu Family, completely ignoring the warriors of the four families that were being slaughtered.
"Oh no …"
Liu Yi and the others were shocked. However, Di Ba was one step ahead. They could no longer stop him.
Liu Yi could only run as fast as she could. The purple whip turned into a poisonous snake and chased after Di Ba, trying to entangle his leg.
"Hmph!"
With a cold shout, Di Ba leaped up and landed in the courtyard of the Lu Family.
Di Ba shot into the room like a cannonball. He aimed his long saber at Lu Ling who was standing calmly on the window. Di Ba sneered, "Lu Li, you killed my son. I will cut your sister into pieces."
"Are you sure you have the ability?"
Lu Ling turned around with a beautiful smile on her face. The veil on her face had been taken off. Under the candlelight, she looked stunning.
Looking at the smiling face, Di Ba somehow felt something was not right. However, Liu Yi had caught up with him. He didn't have much time to think. He suddenly hacked at Liu Yi with his long saber.
Crack!
A dagger suddenly appeared in Lu Ling's hand. She didn't attack Di Ba. Instead, she cut a red rope on the window.
When the red rope broke, Di Ba once again felt that something was wrong. He abruptly looked up and saw that a basin, which had been placed there for a long time, had been overturned. A lot of black powder was spilling out of it.
There was too much powder, and it was even drifting in the air. No matter how hard Di Ba tried to dodge, he could not avoid it, and a lot of the powder stuck to him.
Then something strange happened —
All of a sudden, Di Ba's body was ablaze with a raging fire. The fire was different from regular flames. It was blue, like ghost fire.
It was as if he was splashed with black oil. His entire body was on fire.
At this moment of life and death, Di Ba no longer thought about killing Lu Ling. He smashed against the wall, broke it, and rushed out to vent his anger.
It was raining heavily outside. Di Ba thought that if there was a fire, the rain would put it out.
However!
He seemed to have thought too much. After he rushed out, the fire still could not be extinguished. He rolled on the ground in pain and howled.
The fire still could not be extinguished. Di Ba's head, skin, bones, and flesh were all burnt into charcoal. In the end, he was burned to death in front of so many people …
Silence.
The fight outside suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at Di Ba's body with terror in their eyes, including Liu Yi and a warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm of the Liu Family who had already rushed over.
They saw Di Ba being burned to death, rolling on the ground, howling, and seeing the fire on his body that could not be extinguished no matter how hard they tried. A sense of terror surged up from the depth of their souls.
What kind of fire was this?
How did Di Ba get burned?
Why could the fire not be extinguished?
Nobody knew. Everyone was looking at Lu Li's house, at Lu Ling who was walking to the door with her walking stick. Looking at her beautiful face, it was as if they were looking at a ghost.
Lu Li's brother was full of evil, and the crippled sister was even more so. These two siblings were not normal people at all.
"Who else wants to kill me, just come in."
Lu Ling said lightly. She turned around and went back to her room without even closing the door.
But who dared to go in?
The house with the flickering candlelight had become the most horrifying place. Many dared not to look at it for long.
"Retreat!"
The remaining two warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm of the four Families looked at each other. They started to retreat without any hesitation.
If the remaining two warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm did not retreat, they would all die here.
"Patriarch Sixteen, Patriarch Ning, take everyone and go after Lu Li. At the same time, guard the west gate. If you cannot do that, retreat to the backyard."
Liu Yi ordered the two Patriarchs of the Liu Family. She herself did not go. Instead, she stood outside the attic of Lu Li's house to guard.
Lu Li had gone to hunt down Zhao Rui. Even though Lu Ling's means seemed to be horrifying, Liu Yi was still worried. She decided to help Lu Li protect his sister.
"Lady Yi, I don't need your protection. Go and do your thing."
Lu Ling walked out of her room and said with a smile at the door. Liu Yi was wearing a purple soft armor. Her hair was wet. She touched her face and said, "It's okay. My duty is to guard the west gate. I have accomplished my mission."
Lu Ling said nothing more. She didn't invite Liu Yi in to take shelter from the rain either. She stood at the door and looked towards the south gate. Nobody knew what was on her mind.
Liu Yi was the same. She looked to the south. She could hear the sounds of explosions, roars and screams from time to time. Her expressions were clouded and she was extremely nervous.
It seemed that she was too scared. Liu Yi wanted to talk to someone. She asked in a trembling voice, "Lady Lu, can the Liu Family win?"
Lu Ling didn't look at Liu Yi. She thought about it and said lightly, "If Lord Yu and his men don't do anything, and your grandpa can wake up or ask for reinforcements, the Liu Family will win.
But … the possibility is very small. So, if you don't want to run away, you'd better get ready to commit suicide in case you are tainted. "
"Um …"
Liu Yi was just asking casually. She didn't expect that Lu Ling would answer in such a serious manner. What's more, she had such a good understanding of the situation.
Liu Yi turned around, looked at Lu Ling and said, "Why don't you run away?
Do you want to die with the Liu Family? "
"It's not that I don't want to run. It's just that it's not the right time yet!"
Lu Ling said lightly. She looked to the south and said, "When my brother captures Zhao Rui alive, we will run away.
We have repaid the kindness of the Liu Family. So … sorry! "
Liu Yi nodded. She didn't feel uncomfortable. Lu Li was just a Guest Warrior. He had done enough today. What more could she ask for?
Besides, even if Lu Li didn't run away, he couldn't change the overall situation.
She thought about it and asked, "Do you think Lord Yu will make a move?"
"He won't."
