The Invincible Dragon Emperor
chapter-1227-30041322

“Toot, toot~”

Over and over again, the wild beasts were provoked and lured away. The prefecture warriors outside were skilled at their job. They could run away timely and slay one or two each time.

The number of wild beasts in the basin decreased. Ten days later, half of the wild beasts were killed. Lu Li had been dissolving the seal of the Wicked Bead; yet, he only finished one-third of it.

As the number of wild beasts dropped, Lu Li had no other options. Apart from continuing to dissolve the seal, he tried to make as many Stone Golems as possible and hope that the Deaf Taoist could progress quickly.

Blood Fairy had been studying the formation inside the immortal’s body. Yet, Blood Fairy had only scratched the surface given how complicated and abstruse the formations were. It would take her much time to be able to control the core of the formation, which would give a boost to the immortal’s body’s abilities.

According to Blood Fairy, that time might be a few months or a year. She wasn’t sure if it was going to take her longer. Currently, the immortal’s body could only defeat average prefecture warriors and those at the level of an average warrior on the list.

During this time, Lu Li had gained some knowledge of the combat powers of average immortals.

There wasn’t a clear distinction between the abilities of average immortals. Every immortal mastered different kinds of Fundamental Principles and skills. The amount of time they spent on cultivation was different. Therefore, while they were all immortals, there were many differences between them.

The least powerful immortals were the ones that had just ascended. They had picked up a general Fundamental Principle without powerful skills. Most immortals that ascended around the same time as Lu Li were like this.

Stronger than those immortals were the ones like Lu Li. With the Slayer’s move, Lu Li did have some abilities, and it was not difficult for him to get rid of the immortals at the bottom.

Stronger than those were the prefecture warriors. To become a prefecture warrior, one must master unique skills and methods. Usually, the prefecture warriors were not weak. Without the immortal’s body and the Deaf Taoist, at his current stage, Lu Li could not defeat a prefecture warrior in a fight.

Above the prefecture warriors were the immortals on the list. Every immortal on the list were powerful warriors. The Divinity housed trillions of immortals and only a million were on the list. Those 1 million immortals all had their own skills, and their comprehensive abilities were quite impressive as well.

Evidently, God of Wings was an immortal on the list!

Lu Li was not worried about the prefecture warriors at the basin. He was just wondering what he should do if God of Wings came.

If God of Wings were out there, then Lu Li would be in huge trouble. Death would be inevitable even if the Deaf Taoist could develop within a short period of time

A person’s abilities could not have spiked especially for beings like immortals. At this stage, each phase of development would be hard. The Deaf Taoist and Lu Li were at about the same level. Even with the Red Flakes, the Deaf Taoist could only defeat prefecture warriors at the very best. He was still much weaker than the immortals on the list…

Three days had passed. Finally, the Deaf Taoist consumed an entire piece of the Red Flake. He moved on to the second piece without having any rest. Lu Li could not disturb him, so he continued to dissolve the fifth seal of the Wicked Bead while he tried to focus his mind on the books of Inhibition Formations.

“Toot, toot~”

The number of wild beasts kept dropping. The wild beasts, though strong, were not smart. Once their weaknesses were spotted, slaying them was a piece of cake. People were intelligent and could overwhelm other beings. Humans knew how to learn the truth in nature, leverage the force and develop tactics.

Ten days later!

Only five wild beasts were left. That baby beast was agitated. It had moved away from the Wicked Bead and had been flopping about.

Fortunately for Lu Li, that prefecture warrior didn’t come back to the basin. That being said, the prefecture warriors would come soon since only a few wild beasts were left.

There were people moving around. Once more, the wild beasts rushed out in fury. Lu Li checked the Deaf Taoist with psychic power. The latter had consumed two pieces of Red Flakes. Lu Li stopped him. “Put down the last piece. We do not have time. Stabilize your situation, and tell me how your strength is.”

The Deaf Taoist did not reply. He sat there for the time for three incense sticks to burn before he opened his eyes which were brimming with vigor. He was in a much better state now, and there was a doughty energy around him.

“Well, well~”

Taking a deep breath, the Deaf Taoist stood up and did some stretching. His bones kept making cracking sounds. Grinning, he bowed to Lu Li and said, “My strength has been improved by a large margin. My physical strength is at least 10 times better than before. Lord, do not worry. I can defeat several prefecture warriors easily. The average prefecture warriors cannot kill me as long as there is no immortal on the list.”

“Immortals on the list are just what I am afraid of…”

Lu Li forced a smile. A moment later, he continued, “Now, the prefecture warriors have lured away the rest of the wild beasts. When they are about to finish the last couple of wild beasts… go out and check. If it can be done, ambush them. If… there are immortals on the list, stall them and let me run away. Later, you can catch up with me following the spiritual link.”

“Okay!”

The Deaf Taoist nodded with confidence. Still, Lu Li was worried. He told Blood Fairy to go with the Deaf Taoist later and help him. “Do not fight bluntly when you find immortals on the list. In that case, you should try to escape.”

Lu Li believed he could run away himself. Though he was not that fast, he could cover a long distance as long as the Deaf Taoist and the immortal’s body could stall his enemies for an hour.

It had been a long time since he killed the bird-eyed prefecture warrior. Commander Ye’s team must have left already. The hunting teams of the prefecture might not even be mobilized at all. After all, Lu Li was of little importance, and he had faked his death.

Once again, the wild beasts were chased away. The Wicked Bead glowed as the Deaf Taoist and immortal’s body came out. The baby beast, which was flopping about, saw two strange beings emerging from nowhere. Scared, the baby beast tumbled over on the ground.

“Whoosh~”

Before the baby beast could understand what was going on, the Wicked Bead lit up and dashed into the distance with a red blur. Afraid that the baby beast would cry out, the Deaf Taoist knocked it out with the stone column.

“Move!”

The Deaf Taoist knew that the immortal’s body was under the control of Bloodvine. He waved his hand and together with the immortal’s body, he rushed toward the wild beasts.

“Whoosh~”

The Wicked Bead flew in the opposite direction quietly and soon vanished into the distance.

The Deaf Taoist and the immortal’s body stole their way over. From the distance, they could see three prefecture warriors battling against three wild beasts. The Deaf Taoist was relaxed upon a closer look. The three were prefecture warriors from the Vicissitude House, average ones. There were no immortals on the list.

“Kill them!”

The three prefecture warriors were in a heated battle against the wild beasts. Now was the high time to strike. The Deaf Taoist changed form and grew to over two hundred feet. He appeared just as violent as the wild beasts, a wild beast that could walk upright.

He swung the stone column and pressed forward while the immortal’s body sneaked from a different side, targeting at a different prefecture warrior.

“A creature from the Region of Doom?”

The three prefecture warriors who were slaying the wild beasts saw the Deaf Taoist coming. All were astonished. How could there be a creature from the Region of Doom? Wasn’t the Region of Doom at the west of the Divinity? How could a creature there appear here and such a powerful one no less?

“Whoosh~”

On the other side, the immortal’s body began to strike. The three prefecture warriors took one look, and one of them shouted out at once, “Lu Li is alive. We are fooled. Let Commander Wings know!”

“Bang~”

One of them crushed a jade talisman in his hand. The next second, his head was punched by the Deaf Taoist. Though the prefecture warrior had a Relic armor on, his head was cracked open and blood oozed out.

“Bang!”

The immortal’s body was successful as well. He smashed one of the prefecture warriors away. That warrior was unlucky because he just happened to land under the paws of a wild beast which smashed his head and crushed it.

“Run—”

The other prefecture warrior was afraid to linger on. Like a rabbit being hunted by an eagle, that warrior ran away.

“Let’s go!”

The Deaf Taoist knocked away a wild beast with his stone column. Roaring like a lion, he went after that warrior.
