Zhao Rui had a broken leg and was covered in blood. Moreover, his armor had been stripped off and his hair was disheveled. He looked like a ferocious ghost.
Seeing his beloved son in such a miserable state, Zhao Gui's heart was on fire. He wished he could kill tens of thousands of people to calm his anger.
His speed had reached its limit. His gaze locked onto the young man who was wearing his son's armor, and his killing intent continued to condense.
That being said, he was surprised. Judging from Lu Li's qi and energy, he had just reached the Spirit Sea Realm. How could he kill Patriarch Qing?
Lu Li stopped. He looked solemn. He felt lucky that he didn't kill Zhao Rui. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any trump card left.
Zhao Gui's qi and blood were vigorous. Clearly, he was a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm. Even though Lu Li had many means, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight against a powerful warrior of the Soul Pond Realm.
In the Northern Desert, the gap between realms was like the gap between heaven and earth. A warrior of a higher realm could easily defeat a group of warriors of a lower realm.
For example, in the Spirit Sea Realm, the Xuan Energy was more condensed than that of the Xuan Wu Realm, but the difference in speed, strength, defense and reflexes was too big. Even a group of Xuan Wu Realm warriors could not kill a Spirit Sea Realm warrior.
The gap between warriors of the Soul Pond Realm was even greater!
The Soul Pond Realm was to build a pond in the soul, which would make the soul more powerful. In this way, senses, reactions and many other abilities would be enhanced.
The eyesight, hearing, smell and perception of warriors of the Soul Pond Realm were much stronger than warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm.
You may be fast, but in the eyes of a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm, you feel that you are 10 times slower. Before you make a move, the opponent has already taken measures to deal with you. How can you defeat him?
Another notable feature of the Soul Pond Realm was the ability to release Xuan Energy.
The speed at which Xuan Energy was released was too fast, and its sharpness was comparable to that of an Earth Grade Xuan Artifact. It could kill people from a distance.
Therefore, Lu Li stopped at once and stepped on Zhao Rui's head. At the same time, he pressed his Heaven Kylin Sword against Zhao Rui's neck and stared at Zhao Gui who was getting closer.
The final fate of a martial artist was death!
This was what Lu Ling said. Lu Li was not afraid of death. If Zhao Gui wanted to kill him, he would drag Zhao Rui down with him.
Xiu!
At this moment, a figure suddenly ran out from a small alley behind them. This person was carrying a person on his back. When he saw this scene, he immediately stopped.
Liu Yi and Lu Ling had arrived. But Liu Yi saw Zhao Gui roaring like a wild beast.
Seeing that Lu Li was using it to block Zhao Rui, she panicked. Her delicate body was trembling out of fear …
Lu Ling got down from Liu Yi's back. Leaning on her walking stick, she stood in front of Liu Yi and said softly, "Lady Yi, please go. If … you want to live, leave from the west gate at once. The Liu Family is doomed."
Liu Yi instinctively took a few steps back, but when she retreated into the alley, she somehow stopped.
She wanted to see if Lu Li could escape unscathed from an enraged Zhao Gui with a hostage.
Zi Lian and the others were curious as well. Even though there was a hostage, Zhao Gui was at the Soul Pond Realm, a warrior at the later stage. Zhao Gui had more than a hundred ways to kill Lu Li.
In the time for just a few breaths, Zhao Gui rushed over and landed on the ground more than 100 feet in front of Lu Li.
He was at a suitable distance. Lu Li would not feel threatened, but he could release his Xuan Energy to attack Lu Li in an instant.
Zhao Rui had lost too much blood and was in a semi-conscious state. At this moment, the broken leg was still bleeding. Zhao Gui suppressed his anger and shouted coldly, "Boy, let my son go, and I will spare your life."
This was a cold joke. Lu Li would be an idiot if he believed Zhao Gui's words.
Lu Li stared at Zhao Gui and paid attention to his every move. If Zhao Gui dared to do anything rash, Lu Li would have to kill Zhao Rui with one move.
After a moment of silence, Lu Li said, "Family Patriarch Zhao, your son is still bleeding.
Even though his leg is broken, if you can get a Heaven Grade elixir, you can still regrow it.
But if the bleeding goes on, not even immortals can save him.
So … you better show me some sincerity. "
Zhao Gui frowned. He felt the situation was tricky. Lu Li had a calmness beyond his age. At this rate, Zhao Rui might really die of blood loss.
Zhao Gui thought about it and said, "Name your terms. I want my son alive.
If he dies, so will your entire family. "
"It's simple!"
Lu Li already had a plan in mind. He said, "Find me a carriage. I will take your son out of the county. You must not let anyone follow me or hunt me down.
I promise you that I will let him go when we are 150 miles away from the county. If I don't, you can bring your men to hunt me down. "
Lu Ling's intention of asking Lu Li to capture Zhao Rui alive was self-evident. She wanted Zhao Rui to run away with a hostage.
Lu Li thought that it would be difficult for the Zhao Family to hunt him down once they were 150 miles away from the county. He could run away with Lu Ling easily.
Zhao Gui said nothing. After the time for more than 10 breaths, he said, "You can take him away and I can arrange a carriage for you. But I want you to guarantee Rui's safety.
Also, I can tell you clearly that the power of Lord Yu in the Northern Desert is beyond your imagination. If you dare to kill Rui's son, I promise you that I will find you at the end of the world and kill everyone related to you. "
Lu Li was relieved to hear Zhao Gui's words. It seemed that Zhao Gui really loved Zhao Rui so much that he dared not to act rashly.
As for the threats, Lu Li pretended not to hear them. It was true that Lord Yu had great power. But was Zhao Gui worth Lord Yu's full effort to hunt him down?
"This is a bottle of healing pellet. Heal my son with the powder first. I will ask someone to get you a carriage now."
Zhao Gui took out a bottle from his chest pocket and threw it to Lu Li. Then he turned around as if he was about to ask someone to arrange a carriage.
Lu Li saw that it was just an average bottle, but he didn't pay much attention. He was about to grab it.
In the distance, Lu Ling felt something was wrong. She saw a glint of coldness in Zhao Gui's eyes when he turned around.
She walked over quickly with the help of her walking stick and shouted, "Brother, there is something wrong with the bottle!"
The bottle was already flying over. Lu Li was about to grab it when he heard Lu Ling's words. He paused for a moment and then came to his senses. He was about to smash the bottle away.
"Too late!" Zhao Gui suddenly turned around and shouted, "Explode!"
"Bang!"
The bottle suddenly exploded. White powder was flying all over the place. Lu Li's head and body were covered with the black powder. Inevitably, some of the powder stuck to his eyes. He groaned in pain, staggered for two steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Die!"
Lu Li felt the stinging pain in his eyes. He couldn't open them, but he could tell where Zhao Rui was. Lu Li swung his Heaven Kylin Sword in rage and was about to cut Zhao Rui to death with one move.
"Hmm!"
Zhao Gui was at the Soul Pond Realm. If Lu Li could kill Zhao Rui now, then he would have lived his life in vain.
Zhao Gui lifted his hand and smashed out a cyan shadow of his fist. He released his Xuan Energy and smashed towards Lu Li at a horrifying speed with a whistling sound.
The speed of releasing Xuan Energy was too fast. Zhao Gui was only about 100 feet away from Lu Li. The distance was covered in an instant. When Lu Li's Heaven Kylin Sword was about to smash down, the fist shadow had arrived.
The whistling sound was ear-piercing. The release of Xuan Energy carried a surge of horrifying qi and energy, which made Lu Li feel a fatal danger.
He lifted up his Heaven Kylin Sword out of instinct and put it in front of him. His instinct told him that he would be killed before the Heaven Kylin Sword could reach Zhao Rui. Therefore, he chose to protect himself.
The cyan shadow of the fist was only the size of a fist. It was more like a mass of cyan air mass, but it looked like a fist.
The fist shadow hit the Heaven Kylin Sword. A horrifying force came through. The Heaven Kylin Sword in Lu Li's hand was blown away. Then the fist shadow landed on Lu Li's chest.
"Bang!"
