The Invincible Dragon Emperor
chapter-1058

Lu Li had been planning. He must destroy God of Wings’ avatar. This was the only way he could live on.

God of Wings was sly and would not allow Lu Li to come close. God of Wings would only come after the Slayer’s blood ran out if Lu Li did not resort to some special means.

Therefore, what happened just now was a trick of having himself tortured to win the confidence of the enemy. The three Semi-God Realm warriors could hardly hurt him because not only did he have Quasi Relic armor, the Dragon Armor and a strong body.

He never released Dragon Armor, which was why he was badly wounded. Just now, he even used the Method of Transcendent State to let his soul lie dormant to fake his faint, just to lure God of Wings over.

He was only at the Earth Immortal Realm. God of Wings might have overestimated Lu Li’s defensive ability, but she also believed that Lu Li must have seriously wounded. Yet, God of Wings did not know that Lu Li was more than competent in defense and the Slayer’s blood had increased that. Though appearing to be on the verge of dying due to his wounds, Lu Li actually did not sustain any fatal harm.

“Swish—”

While Lu Li said his words, he had taken actions. He swung his saber. He was using the Slayer’s move. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth from all sides were covering and spreading toward Zi Lian’s body along the saber to keep her still.

To destroy the God of Wing’s avatar, Lu Li must first ruin Zi Lian’s body. Though she was a friend, he was determined at the moment!

Maybe… inside Zi Lian’s body, her soul was still present, but this body was a puppet and she did not have control of her own body. It was God of Wings that was controlling her.

In other words, this was not the actual Zi Lian, but a weapon held by the enemy, a skull. Having experienced his share of tragedy, Lu Li knew better than to be confused.

“Ah, ah, ha!”

God of Wings screamed in a sharp voice. Vibrations entered Lu Li’s mind. God of Wings was still struggling, trying to stop Lu Li with a soul attack.

However, the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond made him immune to all soul attacks. God of Wings’ vibration waves could not hurt his soul.

Seeing that flash of red sword light was about to arrive, Zi Lian appeared to be unwilling to accept defeat. She had planned for a long time and paid a heavy price. She helped Zi Lian to better her realm and had absolute control of this body. How could she accept defeat on the verge of victory?

The Slayer’s move was horrifying. God of Wings felt the suppression coming from all sides. If Lu Li was an immortal and could release the move, God of Wings would not stand it herself, let alone a body she controlled.

“You left me with no choice!”

God of Wings sighed. In a split of a second, she made up her mind. Others might know much about the Slayer, but once, she had the fortune to lay her hand on an ancient book which had the records of the Slayer and other powerful warriors. She was well-aware of the strength of the move the Slayer had created. Lu Li could not tap into its full potential, but it was enough to deal with her avatar.

“Lu Li, then accompany me to the underworld!”

God of Wings shouted in a shrill voice which echoed in the wildness. If her avatar could not escape death, if she was destined to never have the Wicked Bead, then she must put up a struggle to seek revenge over Lu Li killing two of her avatars.

“Buzzing~”

Above Zi Lian’s head came out a glow, and then a shadow which emitted a mighty warrior. The shadow looked like the statue of God of Wings. In its eyes, they were filled with hatred and anger. God of Wings bellowed, “Lu Li, die!”

Lu Li did not look at the shadow of God of Wings but stared at Zi Lian. Tears dropped from her eyes. He saw something familiar in those pretty eyes.

Evidently, God of Wings had freed herself from Zi Lian’s body. Zi Lian could control her own body now.

“I am sorry!”

Zi Lian’s lips moved and then gazed at Lu Li as if she was trying to commit him to her memory. A glare rose from Zi Lian’s body which was consumed by the violent blaze. With a “boom” sound, she was ripped apart…

“No—”

God of Wings’s avatar had just left this body and was about to drag Lu Li to death by a strong skill. She did not predict internal contradictions.

Zi Lian had reached the Earth Immortal Realm. She let herself explode at the moment and the blast twisted the space. God of Wings’s avatar was ripped apart instantly.

“Boom!”

The blast spread across, throwing Lu Li away. This time, though, he released Dragon Armor out of instinct or else he would not stand such an impact.

“She is sorry?”

Lu Li was smashed away, and his bones fractured. Blood spilled out from his mouth. But he did not mind.

All he could see in his mind was that guilty look Zi Lian had, her sorrowful but beautiful face and her determination…

He was still moving backward due to the impact, but he stared at the center of the explosion. Looking at the raining blood, he felt his heart ached.

He remembered the first time he met Zi Lian. He sneaked into that mountain. Back then, Zi Lian was like a fairy from the heavens and she was the most stunning woman he had ever met apart from Lu Ling.

He even imagined that if he could have such a lady in his life, he could die without regret.

Unfortunately, by chance, the two became friends but could never go past that and be intimate. Maybe, it was because Zi Lian had her pride or Lu Li would not go around and flirt with any women. In any case, the two of them parted ways.

That being said!

Zi Lian was once important to Lu Li in his life. This lady, however, was reduced to a mist of blood. The beauty was gone. She did not have a body left…

“Boom!”

Lu Li was knocked into a mountain and was buried alive again. He felt tiredness in his soul. Zi Lian’s passing made him particularly sad and his mind was heavy. He seemed to have lost all of his strength.

The effect of the Slayer’s blood would wear off soon. Lu Li stayed in the mountain, absent-minded. He could only think of one thing—he was exhausted and wanted to sleep.

“Whoosh~”

The noise coming from afar startled him. He sensed two streaks of psychic power. Lu Li was going to pass out, but he came back to his senses at once.

“Buzzing~”

He exerted the last of his strength to take out the Wicked Bead from his Interspatial Ring. The Wicked Bead lit up and he vanished in the mountain.

“Tend to my wounds!”

Entering the inner hall of the Wicked Bead, Lu Li said to Master of Haechi before he passed out. Master of Haechi was frightened by Lu Li’s state and took out healing pellets and fed him quickly.

“Whoosh!”

Two people came from the distance and kept watching with psychic power. Making sure that Lu Li was exhausted, they entered the Wicked Bead and nothing was going on around here, the two worked up the courage and flew over.

It was Yan Gu and Chen Tianxian.

They actually never ran away because Lu Li didn’t go after them. The two rounds of the explosion made them curious. They faintly heard God of Wings’s shrill scream and then decided to come and take a look.

It seemed… favorable to them.

The body which God of Wings controlled had exploded, and the last words of her indicated that her avatar was gone.

Lu Li and God of Wings were both mutilated. Yan Gu and Chen Tianxian sensed clearly with psychic power. Lu Li was badly wounded and was on the verge of dying. It was too horrible for the eyes.

Did it mean that Yan Gu and Chen Tianxian… still, have their chance?
