The Invincible Dragon Emperor

“Di Huo, Di Tian!”

Lu Li’s eyes became bloody red with a fury. Lu Ling had never mentioned this to him. Nobody was fond of him in the tribe; therefore, it was far less likely for them to tell him this. But then again, he didn’t expect random people would know about this.

“Look at these sanctimonious old dogs!”

Lu Ling pointed at the old people including the one with only one arm and said, “I came back and my wound was already healed, but I became lame. I wanted to seek justice from Di Ba and these men. Do you know what they said, brother? They said that they were just thoughtless kids and that they could be forgiven. They just gave me ten Golden Leaves and told me to go back and take care of my wound, without even a single sorry…”

It was like a fire was going to come out of Lu Li’s eyes. She was almost raped. A beautiful maiden became a lame person, and how could they just solve the matter with sending her away with ten Golden Leaves?

The one-armed old man and others became embarrassed. Saying this thing out loud in front of all those people had made them lost their prestige as well. The one-armed old man thought for a while and said, “Lu Ling, in the old days, what Di Huo and Di Tian did was indeed wrong, but you are not justified to kill today…”

“Shut up!”

Lu Ling interrupted the old man. She cried out in a delicate voice, “Old dog! Just now, Di Han was about to break off my brother’s leg and wanted to kill me. Where were you then? If we didn’t have these means, we would be the bodies on the ground. If we were dead, would you also say to us that the they were too young so they were thoughtless?”

The one-armed old man was speechless. When he was just about to say something, Lu Ling continued, “Old dog, don’t you ever shed crocodile tears. My grandfather died years ago, and you had something to do with that, didn’t you? Didn’t my grandfather cut off your arm? You were all part of that, isn’t that right? And Di Ba, he was the culprit!”

“What…”

A storm of commotion swept over the whole place. The stone house had gathered quite a number of people from the tribe around. They were shocked by this outrageous news.

The maternal grandfather of Lu Ling and Lu Li was the previous Tribal Chief who led a group of powerful warriors to the outside of the Ice Abyss, and all of them died a horrible death. Now, Lu Ling was saying that it was done by Di Ba and the one-armed old man?

“Nonsense!”

One-armed old man shouted in rage, “It had nothing to do with me, with us. Your grandfather had it coming.”

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Ling laughed so hard that her body trembled, and she looked towards Lu Li and said, “See, he is showing guilty conscience. Lu Li, when you are powerful enough, make sure to get to the bottom of this and find out who murdered our grandfather and the others. Don’t cut loose anyone of them.”

“Um!”

Lu Li determinately nodded and stared at Di Huo and Di Tian; his killing intent became more intense, and his momentum became stronger. He was like a sword about to be drawn out to finish off all enemies.

Yes, enemies!

At that moment, everyone was an enemy to Lu Li. Di Huo and Di Tian were the ones who must be killed.

“Don’t cut anyone loose?”

The one-armed old man snorted in contempt. Looking towards Di Huo and the rest, he sneered. “Do you think you can walk out of the tribe alive today? You killed Di Han in broad daylight, and you are so crazy. If we were to let you escape, there would be no more peaceful days in Di Long Tribe. Di Huo, Di Tian, both of you, start to move and kill this two!”

“You?”

Lu Ling mockingly laughed as she picked up the bundle on the ground and tied it to her back. With her walking stick in her hand, she said, “Brother, grab your saber and kill anyone who is blocking our way out of the tribe. Anyone and everyone that dare to stand in our way must be killed.”

“Sure, anyone in our way will be killed!”

Lu Li roared and placed himself in front of Lu Ling. Step by step, he started moving forward. Di Huo, Di Tian and the one-armed old man were strong fighters, but at that moment, there was no any trace of fear could be found in Lu Li’s heart.

Standing behind him was his dearest sister. He had no way back! The only thing left for him was to pick up his saber and kill their way out.

The sword was drawn, so the fight must go on; the way back was cut, and the only choices were life or death!

“Kill—”

Di Huo and Di Tian looked at each other. After the one-armed old man appeared, they became more confident. There was a group of elderlies watching them fighting. So, what thing could frighten these two? And they would continue to be haunted by nightmares if they did not kill Lu Ling. As for Lu Li, he would grow up to be a powerful enemy and a loose end of endless trouble if he would not be killed.

“Kill!”

The young men started their moves, but still didn’t dare to get closer. Lu Ling said the shooting range of her deadly crossbow was 6.5 feet, and could be as fast as a warrior in the Spirit Sea Realm making a move at the top of his strength. Even Di Han could not get out of the way, let alone them.

“Di Lu, get the shields!”

Di Huo shouted. A young man from a distance instantly ran swiftly. In just a few seconds, he had carried five bronze shields back and threw them to Di Huo, Di Tian, and two other young men in the mid-stage of Xuan Wu Realm respectively.

With the shield at hand, Di Huo and the others became strongly confident. They started moving their way to surround Lu Ling and Lu Li with fearless bearing. Lu Li did not have a single change on his face. Step by step, he moved forward. He had the saber in his hands, paying no heed to other people and just stared at Di Huo.

“Lu Li, don’t worry about me! Just do what you need to do. I promised to bring you out of the tribe and rave the tribe to the ground. That will happen today!”

Lu Ling shouted and stopped at a distance. Lu Li screamed and launched forward. He kicked backwards on the ground with so much force that caused the slates on the ground to crack. He jumped up for more than three feet. With enormous strength, he swung his saber with his two hands and chopped it at Di Huo’s shield!

“Die!”

Di Tian, who was standing next to them, moved. His long saber morphed into pieces of saber shadows and set out to strangle Lu Li like poisonous dragons. But as soon as he moved, he sensed something was not right. Could it be that he was a bit slower?

“Bang!”

Lu Li smacked Di Huo’s shield with his enormous strength. A muffling sound of gold and iron hitting against each other came along with sparkles flying everywhere. In the astonished looks of everyone, Di Huo was smacked away together with his shield.

“What…”

The one-armed old man and the group of elderlies were so shocked and surprised. Di Huo was at the peak at the Xuan Wu Realm and on the verge of breaking through the Spirit Sea Realm. How could he be knocked off by a single move from Lu Li who couldn’t even cultivate the Xuan Energy?

“Swish!”

After Lu Li smacked Di Huo away, he turned around with one leg as the center. He swung his saber backward and quickly chopped Di Tian’s head. Di Tian was so frightened as he found out he was much slower. At the final critical moment of life and death, all he could do was to hold high his shield to block it.

“Bang!”

Like Di Huo, Di Tian, who was also at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm, was knocked away. He flew for 23 to 26 feet and hit hard against a dirt wall in the distance. The wall collapsed and buried Di Tian alive.

“What is happening?”

Many young men wanted to come over and fight, but they were all scared. Could it be that Lu Li just had hid his Xuan Energy? Or was it because Di Huo and Di Tian’s strength had become weaker? Warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm could have more than 11,000 pounds of strength when they utilized their Xuan Energy. Considering that Lu Li had 11,000 pounds of strength as well, how could there be such a huge difference?

“I seemed to have been poisoned as my Xuan Energy is in a mess.”

Di Huo crawled up while his blood covered his pretty face. He looked to the one-armed old man with bewilderment, hoping to get some answers.

The one-armed old man frowned and secretly tried to use his Xuan Energy, and found, to his surprise, that his Xuan Energy was also a bit messed up. He looked around and something came into his mind. He glanced towards Lu Li’s stone house and cried out in a deep voice, “No, the smoke is poisonous. She could have burned the Purple Erosion Grass!”

Purple Erosion Grass!

Everyone had heard of that stuff. It was the main ingredient of Xuan Erosion Pellet which was a toxic pellet to mess up the Xuan Energy.

“Ha, ha. It’s too late to find out now.”

Lu Ling slightly smiled. There was a cunning light flickering in her eyes. She was not really that crazy to burn down their own house at will, since it would at least ruin their childhood memories, and it would burn their own way back.

She had some intentions in doing this. She had been preparing for this for quite some time. Originally, she wanted to wait for Lu Li to awaken his Bloodline before she took this action, but since Di Huo and Di Tian unexpectedly came back early, she had to move in advance.

The toxic smoke of the Purple Erosion Grass messed up the Xuan Energy of all warriors. Lu Li didn’t possess Xuan Energy and had drunk the detoxicating tea. Now, when Lu Li was about to fight against these warriors with their Xuan Energy not at full strength, he would have a much greater chance to win over them.

Lu Li now understood. He thought to himself and admired his sister’s wisdom. There was light in Lu Li’s eyes now. Without their rich Xuan Energy, these men, to him, were too weak to stand a single blow!
