Chapter 1233: Retreat in Defeat

“Time to move!”

Gaining spiritual connection with the skeleton, Lu Li no longer had any concerns. Anyways, he must try. This was one last desperate attempt. If it turned out that the skeleton could not kill or defeat God of Wings, then Lu Li was ready to submit to fate…

Lu Li took out a piece of Blood Crystal from the wooden box and threw the crystal to the mouth of the skeleton. The skeleton opened up its mouth and ate up the Blood Crystal. Following that, the skeleton’s bones began to light up again, only this time, the glow had a blood-red color.

Lu Li noticed some red lines appearing on the bones of the skeleton, turning the black color of the bones into dark red and crystal clear. Lu Li could see many glistening runes inside the bones. Each piece of bone appeared to contain strong powers.

“Let’s go out. Charge—”

One piece of Blood Crystal could only enable the skeleton to take one action. Lu Li did not dare to linger on. What if the energy in the Blood Crystal ran out?

Since there was still a weak spiritual link between him and the Wicked Bead, Lu Li sent out the skeleton without hesitation. He himself went out as well and emerged in the hall that God of Wings was in.

“Buzzing~”

Almost at the exact same time, Lu Li sent the Deaf Taoist and immortal’s body out as well. Since he was going to take action, he must go all out. If he could not defeat God of Wings this time, then he would be the one facing death.

The moment Lu Li emerged, God of Wings came to her senses. She reached her beautiful hand at Lu Li’s head. This hand, though pretty, was horrifying. Not even the Wicked Bead could be freed from this hand.

“Attack!”

Lu Li shouted to the immortal’s body, the Deaf Taoist and the skeleton immediately came out. He took out a Relic weapon, ready to release the Slayer’s move.

“Swish~”

However, to his surprise, before he could take action, the skeleton had charged forth. The skeleton reached out a hand toward God of Wings’ hand. The skeleton was so fast that neither Lu Li or God of Wings could react in time.

That was right!

Even God of Wings was slow to react. She only saw a flash of glare before her pretty hand was grabbed by a skeleton hand.

“Ah—”

The next moment, God of Wings’ soul started to tremble. She let out screams of pain. In her eyes were filled with astonishment and fright. Her hand, being grabbed by the skeleton hand, was falling into pieces like tofu.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist were both stunned by what they saw. The skeleton had dashed out and reached a hand toward God of Wings’ hand. The skeleton didn’t use anything special, but God of Wings’ pretty hand had been reduced into a mist of blood.

That skeleton hand did not stop. God of Wings’ arm fell into pieces right in front of Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist. The skeleton hand was still moving. It soon tried to reach God of Wings’ left shoulder…

“Run—”

As an experienced warrior, a powerful one on the list, God of Wings slapped at the air with her other hand while she moved back quickly. Green flames were burning around her. She sped up to the extreme. She smashed a hole on the wall in the Beast of the Void and dashed out.

“Whoosh…”

As she fled out of the Beast of the Void, God of Wings did not stop her steps. The green flames were burning more and more violently around her as she vanished into the horizon at an unimaginable speed.

She left behind some words of hatred and spite, “Lu Li, I swear that I will end you. If I cannot finish you within 10 years, I will fall into the domain of the dead and can never be excused from death.”

In a flash!

With the Deaf Taoist, immortal’s body and the skeleton, Lu Li came out from the Wicked Bead. It was just a blink before God of Wings was injured and fled away. Lu Li didn’t even have the time to swing his weapon. The Deaf Taoist and the immortal’s body didn’t have the time to strike either.

It was dead silent in the hall. Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist were completely shocked. After this strike, the skeleton stopped moving. There was no longer any glow around its bones.

The immortal’s body did not move either. So it was very quiet in the hall except for the sound of the wind blowing in from the hole in the wall that God of Wings made.

The ground was covered by blood and minced flesh. Blood was still dripping from the skeleton’s hand. The blood belonged to God of Wings who had lost an entire arm in one blow. It was as if the skeleton was just crushing a cucumber…

If God of Wings was delayed by the time for one breath, she would have lost her body instead of her arm.

How strong was God of Wings? Lu Li did not know. However, he had seen with his own eyes the soft armor on her arm. Needless to say, the soft armor was a Relic. In other words—the skeleton could rip through a Relic armor easily!

“Hiss, hiss~”

Upon this realization, Lu Li had to look at the immortal’s body with more terror. At first, he found it ridiculous that Tian Lingzi would name the skeleton “Warlord Qing Wujin”. He could see now that it was not funny at all. This skeleton was a warlord for sure, a warlord that was undefeated!

Lu Li believed that if he had fed the skeleton with two Blood Crystals, God of Wings would not have been able to escape.

The skeleton could kill an immortal on the list? Was the skeleton equal to a mighty warrior?

“Grunt, grunt!”

Lu Li cleared his throat. At the moment, he adored the skeleton very much. The ugly and horrifying skeleton now became quite lovable to him.

“Lord, well, how…”

The Deaf Taoist finally came back to his senses. He looked at the skeleton with terror. The skeleton’s speed and its hand that crippled God of Wings had freaked out the Deaf Taoist, who could not imagine the real power of the skeleton.

“We will talk later!”

Lu Li did not explain. He put the skeleton into the main hall of the Wicked Bad. Pointing at the Beast of the Void, he asked the Deaf Taoist, “Do you know how to operate the Beast of the Void? We must leave right away. When God of Wings comes back, we will be in trouble.”

“I can try!”

The Deaf Taoist knew how serious the situation was. He searched around in the inner hall and said, “Beasts of the Void are usually refined in certain ways. There should be a control core. Anyone can control the beast with the core.”

“Find it!”

Lu Li poured divine energy into the Wicked Bead, which was almost lost to God of Wings. Lu Li had to erase all the spiritual imprint left behind by God of Wings so that he could get the Wicked Bead back into control.

“Found it!”

A moment later, the Deaf Taoist found a crystal ball. Upon further study, the Deaf Taoist said with excitement, “Lord, control the crystal and you can control the Beast of the Void.”

“Do it now!”

Lu Li waved his hand. “Afterwards, fly the Beast of the Void to the northeast. God of Wings will not give up. She will come back soon and when she does, she will not be alone.”

“Such a pity…”

Lu Li checked the two halls with materials and different crystals but failed to find any Blood Crystal.

In total, he had six Blood Crystals, and he had already used one. If he had hundreds, he would not be afraid even if God of Wings were to come with several immortals on the list.

That being said, he still had five pieces, which meant that he could use the skeleton five times. If properly used, for the time being, he could stay alive.
