The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 485: Asmodians

There were many forms of miracle births in the world. Lu Ling's fire phoenix birth was one of those. Legend had it that there once were miracle births of strong souls at the Central Plains and those warriors were born to understand how to cultivate souls and conduct soul attacks.

Lu Li shook his head after Jiang Qiling's introduction. He was sure that this was not the case for him. He didn't understand soul cultivation and the fact that his psychic power could attack was because of the silver dragon mark.

Whatever the reason was, one thing was sure—Lu Li could launch soul attacks and he was now a soul warrior.

There were many warriors in the world. n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors were worthless at the Central Plains. But those who could be regarded as soul warriors were few and far between. Only a couple at the Pavilion of Delicacy were soul warriors and only one Great Patriarch was proficient in soul attacks.

The Lu Family didn't have many soul warriors, either. But the Great Patriarch of the Lu Family was well cultivated in his soul. He was one of the most powerful soul warriors at the Central Plains.

Therefore, soul warriors had high status. Jiang Hu was not fooling Lu Li. If Lu Li really joined the Pavilion of Delicacy, he could at least be a patriarch of the Eternal Clan.

Lu Li was thrilled as well. He had tried something random and now he had a powerful way to attack. After all, Jiang Li was a warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Even though he was only at the middle stage, given that he was born in the Jiang Family, Jiang Li's soul must be pretty strong.

Jiang Qiling was even happier for Lu Li. She took out three jade boxes from her ring, gave them to Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, those are elixirs for nurturing souls. You have just reached the Eternal Realm so your soul is not strong enough. Take the three plants and your soul can be improved remarkably. Those are all seventh rank elixirs."

"Seventh rank elixirs…"

Jiang Hu turned away and pouted. He wasn't even qualified to see these elixirs usually. Every single one of the elixirs was priceless and Jiang Qiling just gave them to Lu Li without second thoughts.

Lu Li didn't pretend to refuse. He knew that his soul was not strong enough. Attacking Jiang Hu had already made Lu Li feel weaker in his soul and he was almost hurt. He must elevate the strength of his soul.

"Lu Li."

Jiang Qiling added, "There are many forms of soul attacks. I once read a secret book with multiple introductions of soul attacks. For example, you can spread your soul attacks out and penetrate the Soul Pond from different sides. You can envelop your enemy's Soul Pond with your soul energy to cut off the connection between his soul and his body. Also, soul energy can break into Soul Ponds in many different ways. All in all, you have to figure out a way to break into your enemies' souls and then destroy their souls. You should spend some time thinking about it. After we get out, I will try to get that secret book for you…"

Lu Li felt he had stepped into a new world after hearing Jiang Qiling. At first, transforming his psychic power into a knife was the only way he knew. Now he had broadened his scope of mind. Methods of any form, as long as they could enable him to break into enemies' Soul Ponds to do damage, would const.i.tute powerful soul attacks.

"Protect me. I will consume these elixirs!"

Lu Li was a man p.r.o.ne to swift actions. He sat down on the spot with his legs crossed and told Jiang Qiling, "Wake me up if there are enemies coming."

She nodded. Lu Li took out a jade box in which lay a half-transparent gra.s.s that was emitting a beautiful faint scent.

"This is Kylin Root. You can just chew it."

Jiang Qiling explained. Lu Li threw it into this mouth. Actually, there wasn't much chewing involved. It melted in his mouth. A fragrance a.s.saulted his tongue and mouth. He felt very comfortable.

A warm current coursed down from his throat to his belly. Lu Li concentrated on guiding the warm current to his Soul Pond to enhance his soul.

Jiang Qiling and Jiang Hu sat next to him to offer protection. The elixir was precious. Not consuming in a timely manner would be a waste.

"Jiang Hu!"

Jiang Qiling was bored. She looked at Lu Li for a bit and asked Jiang Hu in a low voice, "What do you think of Lu Li?"

Jiang Hu answered after some thoughts, "A marvelous man. Even though he doesn't have a powerful Bloodline, but… he is impressive. If nothing goes wrong, he will be famous at the Central Plains and he will grow to be a rarely seen powerful warrior."

Hearing how highly Jiang Hu thought of Lu Li, Jiang Qiling smiled ear to ear. She stared at Lu Li for a bit and asked Jiang Hu solemnly, "Jiang Hu, what do you think of him being my father's son-in-law?"

Having said that, Jiang Qiling began to blush but her eyes were sparkling. That unique charm of a young girl made Jiang Hu lost in thoughts.

A glint of jealousy flashed past Jiang Hu's eyes. This pearl of the Pavilion of Delicacy was the dream of many young men of outstanding talents at the City of Pavilion. Jiang Hu had been having a crush on her for many years now.

"Alas…"

Jiang Hu was aware that his ident.i.ty made him undeserving of Jiang Qiling and he could never marry her. He had to bury the bitterness in his heart, forced a smile and said, "Young Master Lu is a fine match for you. But… there is an issue of his ident.i.ty. He is banished from the Lu Family. It will be hard for him to marry into the Jiang Family. What is more, Lady Qi, you are the chosen warrior. The chances of you two getting married is slimmer."

"Hmm!"

Jiang Qiling let out a bit of killing intent and said with a cold smile, "You said yourself that I am the chosen warrior. What if I become stronger than Jiang Wuwo? I will kill whoever stands in my way!"

Jiang Hu was shocked at this angry Jiang Qiling. Right now, he even had an urge to slay Lu Li. Jiang Qiling was Jiang Family's future and Jiang Hu wouldn't want her to destroy herself and the Jiang Family for the sake of Lu Li.

But Jiang Hu didn't have the courage. For one thing, it was possible that he could not kill Lu Li and he might end up dead. For another, he didn't want to hurt Jiang Qiling's feelings. Also, Jiang Hu had to admit that Lu Li was more outstanding than him and more suitable for Jiang Qiling…

Jiang Qiling sat in silence after she finished her words. Jiang Hu said nothing in return. He began to check the surroundings with his psychic power.

Time pa.s.sed by. Lu Li consumed the Kylin Root fast. In just a couple of hours, he had almost consumed it completely. His Soul Pond didn't show many changes but he could feel that his soul was stronger.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

An hour later, some heavy sounds came from the north. Jiang Qiling and Jiang Hu opened their eyes simultaneously and turned to the north. They noticed that there were six pairs of footsteps. Neither of them paid much attention as they thought there were just six barbarians coming.

Lu Li sensed it as well. But he didn't stop, believing that Jiang Qiling and others were more than enough to deal with six barbarians.

"Jiang Hu, let's go. You three stay here to protect Lu Li."

Jiang Qiling told the three young ladies to stay behind while others went with her. They were taking the initiative to fight the barbarians.

Jiang Qiling's Soulfeast b.u.t.terflies could seize the souls of the barbarians easily and Jiang Hu and others could crack barbarian's defense. They thought the six barbarians wouldn't pose a big threat.

"No!"

As they were rus.h.i.+ng over, Jiang Hu suddenly shouted in fright. The six barbarians had vines tangled on their backs. The six of them had a dull look in their eyes as if they were dead men walking. They didn't look like usual barbarians.

"Gee-gee, humans, kill them!"

A spook laugh came out. Suddenly, small heads raised from the back of barbarians. Those men were very ugly looking and their eyes were filled with l.u.s.t and sinister looks. One look at them would make people feel disgusted.

"Asmodians!"

Jiang Qiling and Jiang Hu recognized them. The six barbarians were under the control of Asmodians. Judging by the number of heads sticking out from the back, there were quite a number of Asmodians. There were at least 20 of them.

"Run—"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Qiling released her Bead of Life and retreated as she yelled, "Lu Li, wake up. Asmodians!"
