Chapter 487: Conspiracy

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

If Asmodians were not fast, Lu Li might not choose to fight them so desperately. But meeting that one Asmodian who could compare with his speed had inspired shrewdness in him.

What was more is that the Asmodians he had met now were average ones. If he would run when faced with average Asmodians, then what was the point of even coming in this battlefield?

Plus, Lu Li was encouraged by the fact that he could launch soul attacks. His confidence grew with the fact that on his side, there was a chosen warrior with an eighth-rank Bloodline. If he could not beat the Asmodians, he could at least run away.

"Let's fight!"

Lu Li made up his mind. Those Asmodians could not distinguish his clones from the real person, which gave Lu Li a way out.

"Clones~"

Lu Li yelled as he generated more than 60 clones. There were 60 more Jiang Qiling as well. This time, instead of controlling his clones to rush toward the Asmodians, he made his clones scatter around as if they were running for life.

"Running away?"

The leader of the Asmodians snorted. He swung his wand even more violently. The weather suddenly changed. It was pitch dark. Even the Asmodians were concealed by the darkness.

What was odder was that—Lu Li's clones were glowing and completely exposed to the enemies. Now the enemies were gaining advantage.

"Such petty skills. Who are you trying to fool?"

Lu Li sneered and then told Jiang Qiling something in a low voice. Taking a deep breath, Lu Li extended his hands backwards and let out a roar as loud as thunder.

"Break!"

Lu Li released his Dragon Roar Skill. A fierce wind sprang up and space trembled along with it. The roar resounded through the wilderness, never ending.

Darkness vanished. Light came back out. Many Asmodians were rushing underground, making their way toward Lu Li's clones. At this moment, they were shocked and confused.

Lu Li's Dragon Roar didn't inflict any harm on the Asmodians and Jiang Qiling only felt a slight pain in her eardrums. Compared with his other skills, Dragon Roar was not particularly powerful. That being said, this skill could shake the space, which shattered the illusion Asmodians' built.

"Clones!"

Lu Li's clones were shattered as well. Once again, he generated clones and made them run towards all directions while he dashed toward the two Asmodians on his left.

"Release Soulfeast Butterflies at them!"

Lu Li yelled. Jiang Qiling acted on his command. Numerous Soulfeast Butterflies danced around and enveloped the two Asmodians at the front.

"Soulfeast Butterflies?"

Those two recognized the skill. They yelled in shock as centipedes and vipers flew out from them in an attempt to kill or stop the Soulfeast Butterflies from getting closer.

However, those Soulfeast Butterflies were only phantoms without entities. They easily made their way into two Asmodians' bodies. How could the Asmodians fight against sixth-level Soulfeast Butterflies? The two Asmodians' souls were seized at once.

"Use your Bead of Life to smash them!"

Lu Li ordered again. Jiang Qiling did as he said and hit against the two Asmodians.

"Boom!"

As another pit appeared on the ground, two Asmodians were pounded into minced flesh. The other Asmodians screamed in fury and made their way toward Lu Li and Jiang Qiling.

"Get your Bead of Life back and let's run~"

Lu Li grinned. She put away her Bead of Life when Lu Li generated dozens of clones, leaving 20 of them to put on a show of attacking those Asmodians while he and Jiang Qiling ran away.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

Asmodians shrilled, feeling mad. They realized that all those were only clones. But Lu Li was fast and he could generate more clones. What could the Asmodians do?

"Boom!"

Soon, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling made a move, having their eyes on two other Asmodians. Again, Lu Li was the one giving commands and Jiang Qiling acted accordingly. Soulfeast Butterflies rushed out and Bead of Life smashed away, turning yet another two Asmodians into grounded flesh. Next, he took her away again, leaving his clones all over the place to confuse the Asmodians…

"Boom, boom, boom~"

Lu Li moved around to kill two Asmodians at a time. Jiang Qiling gradually overcame her fear of Asmodians and became excited. She didn't have to think about anything, other than making a move at Lu Li's command. With more Asmodians getting killed, her excitement grew as if she was not killing Asmodians, but playing a thrilling game…

"Lu Li, that one is so ugly. How about we go and kill that one?"

"Lu Li, how about we make a big move? There are seven or eight of them over there. Let's kill them all at once."

"Those Asmodians are weak. I can crush them to death in one go. This is not fun, not fun…"

"…"

Lu Li didn't know what to say to her. Who was the one who turned pale from fear just earlier? Instead of listening to Jiang Qiling, Lu Li kept observing the situation to find the easiest kill.

He hadn't gained a comprehensive picture of the Asmodians yet so he was not confident to take any risk. If he made a mistake, his life and Jiang Qiling's could be in jeopardy. Every move must be taken with caution.

In the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling had killed 11 of the 20 Asmodians. They didn't kill any of the barbarians as those were not powerful and only tools used by Asmodians.

"Fall back!"

Asmodians' team leader finally began to taste fear. He knew that at this rate, all the Asmodians including itself would die and their lives would be taken by Lu Li one by one.

All the Asmodians gathered up and hopped onto the backs of two barbarians. The barbarians' backs were covered with vines which the Asmodians held onto with one hand to avoid any fall.

The two barbarians walked away in strides while the remaining four charged toward Lu Li. They waved their copper hammer and iron chain, taking indiscriminate attacks.

"They are trying to run. Lu Li, we must stop them!"

Jiang Qiling was having fun and she urged Lu Li to chase after them. He thought about it and flew over on his Fate Wheel. He was fast and he could take his time to kill those Asmodians one by one. Also, he wanted to capture one as a slave to try out his soul attack techniques.

Lu Li got his way around the four barbarians at ease and chased after the two running away. In the time for half an incense stick to burn, he had caught up with them. Looking at the fear written on the eight Asmodians hanging at the backs of barbarians, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling felt the pleasure of hunting.

"Something is off!"

Soon, Lu Li sensed something went wrong but he could not put a pin on it. Seeing his expressions, Jiang Qiling's smile faded as well. She looked at the Asmodians carefully and suddenly yelled, "Oh, some are missing!"

"That's right!"

Lu Li came to his senses. There were 10 Asmodians running away but they were looking at only eight. Lu Li generated more clones while trying to get away.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The ground began to burst open as five figures jumped out with everyone holding a glowing spear.

"Buzzing!"

Simultaneously, those hanging at barbarians' backs glowed in black and sped up. They morphed into dark blurs, dashing toward Lu Li and Jiang Qiling.

"Swish~"

The team leader vanished in midair. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling sensed a fatal danger, feeling like they were going to die the next second.

"Conspiracy!"

Asmodians had faked their retreat. This was a conspiracy. The Asmodians' eyes were filled with violence and cruelty. They never thought about running away for a second. Rather, they were trying to set up a trap to kill Lu Li and Jiang Qiling.

"Get ready!"

A glint of coldness flashed through Lu Li's eyes. The enemies had sped up, which left no time for Lu Li to run away now. The only option was to put up a desperate fight.
