The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 51

Since he was born, Di Huo was born the golden boy in the Di Long Tribe. He enjoyed high position and great wealth since a lot of people in the tribe treated him with respect that only masters deserved. Di Huo himself had grown accustomed to this kind of life, therefore, he had come to the Zhao Family to become stronger which consequently would grant him with higher status and more wealth.

Also, fear of death was in his nature. He was not willing to give up his spoiled life, or the beauties in the Wu Ling County, or his promising future.

When Lu Li was about to kill him in the Di Long Tribe, Di Huo fled. At this moment, he was all the more freaked out. Lu Li had proven to be able to kill warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm like chopping up vegetables. Even though Di Huo was bit stronger than the two warriors that were killed, he knew deep down that he was far from a worthy opponent for Lu Li.

Hence, after standing there stiff for a second, a thought came up to Di Huo. Running away! The faraway the better. He wanted to escape and go back to his father. He hoped not for death.

So Di Huo shouted, "All of you, make your moves and surround Lu Li to kill him!"

Like what he did in the tribe, Di Huo turned around and started running away after he uttered his words. Lu Li, on the other hand, was not going to fall for it this time. Besides, another matter had escaped Di Huo. It was not a wide expanse of flat land in front of him, but one of many poisonous snakes. It so happened that these poisonous snakes had received orders from Little White to not to attack Lu Li…

Lu Li did not have to look back to know that there was some distance between him and the other warriors. He rushed towards Di Huo with his Heaven Kylin Sword in his hands.

The few Zhao Family warriors at a distance were boiling with anger seeing Di Huo run off like that. If it were not for the fact that Di Huo forced them to go to the mountains, would they have to suffer so many deaths? On top of that, Lu Li had shown to be brave and strong. Everyone started to draw in their horns. Di Huo was not their concern anymore. The warriors just tried to break out of the encirclement to the left while helping support each other.

"Hiss, hiss~"

One poisonous snake after another swarmed towards Di Huo. He had no other choice but to kill those poisonous snakes with his sword even though he was enraged.

Lu Li ran towards Di Huo and swung his Heave Kylin Sword, aiming at Di Huo's back. On hearing the whoos.h.i.+ng sound, Di Huo rolled at once on the ground and managed to dodge Lu Li's attack. He also cut two poisonous snakes in half. Turning around, Di Huo said while gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, "Lu Li, in the old days I did wrong your sister and you. You have killed Di Tian and the others. Now my father is the External Clan Patriarch of the Zhao Family, and is highly regarded by the Family Patriarch. There is no good in killing me for you. If you let me go, let's say we consider our grudges all settled, what do you say?"

Lu Li's response to Di Huo was him swinging gigantic cracked broadsword. Lu Li wished to waste not even one word on Di Huo. He looked so determined and was not going to let the matter drop until he killed Di Huo.

"Clank, clank~"

Di Huo had to make great efforts to fight back. His sword and the Heaven Kylin Sword b.u.mped against each other, and sparkles flew around. Di Huo mobilized the Xuan Skill of Misty Cloud Knife that Di Ba pa.s.sed onto him. Even if the name of it contained the word "Knife", it could also be powerful when using a sword. Di Huo's moves were like tides in the ocean, never ending. Lu Li was forced to fall back.

Too bad…

The poisonous snakes nearby continued their attack. Di Huo had to go back to attacking these poisonous snakes on both his sides after he had only released his skill for seven or eight times. Seeing the window of opportunity, Lu Li held his Heaven Kylin Sword with both of his hands and attacked at Di Huo for four or five times in a row.

"Clank, clank, clank~"

Di Huo was prepared for this. He grabbed tight onto his sword and managed to block Lu Li. However, Di Huo was forced to move backwards. His hands were numb, blood was boiling inside his chest, his ears rang and his eyes were seeing stars.

"Hiss, hiss~"

Two poisonous snakes sprung up and spat out venoms. Some of the venom got on the back of Di Huo's neck, and some of it on the left of his head.

The venom of Black Scorch Snakes was highly corrosive. Instantly, Di Huo felt like the back of his neck and his the left of his head on fire. He randomly scratched and pieces of skin came off. He was in so much pain that he cried out.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Li took advantage of a person's vulnerability to end his life. He put on a forbidding countenance and a cold glint bounced off his long broadsword. He aimed at Di Huo's head and cut down with great strength. He tried to use all his efforts, hoping to kill Di Huo once and for all.

"No—"

Di Huo screamed in terror. However, he stopped fighting back. Surprisingly, he kneeled down and shouted, "Lu Li, I am wrong. Don't kill me, please!"

Lu Li paused for just a second, and then he continued his action. The head of Di Huo was cut open like it was a watermelon. His body was almost halved. Di Huo could not be more dead.

If it were in the old days, maybe Lu Li would have stopped, yet he still remembered what Lu Ling told him during the fight in the tribe. Lu Li was raised by Lu Ling who had a great influence on him.

After he had been in several battles, Lu Li had become cruel and merciless. There was preciously one idea in his head, which was… killing without amnesty.

Lu Li stood there for a while and stared at Di Huo's corpse. He gradually calmed down, but when he glanced into the distance, coldness was once again visible in his eyes. Carrying his Heaven Kylin Sword with him, Lu Li started running on.

The rest of the warriors of the Zhao Family did not go far. Only two warriors were without any wounds. Two injured ones were so wounded that they could not walk without the help of others. Also, there were numerous Black Scorch Snakes in the direction that they were fleeing to…

The ending was self-evident. Even though Lu Li understood no Xuan Skill, but his enormous strength could compare with that of a warrior in the Spirit Sea Realm. Little White had been following him so the poisonous snakes dared not attack him. On the other hand, his opponents must mind the attack of the poisonous snakes and tend to their partners at the same time. They were trying to attend to one thing, but they would lose the other. Their fighting capabilities were greatly affected.

In just half an hour's time, the warriors trying to escape had turned into cold bodies. The only one left had one of his legs chopped off. Lu Li was determined in his killing and absolutely not soft-hearted. The reason that he kept one alive was to torture some information out of him

Lu Li had Little White to control the poisonous snakes to make way. Stomping on the warrior with a broken leg, Lu Li asked in a cold voice, "How many people are trying to hunt me down? Where is Zhao Rui?"

The fact that Zhao Rui did not make an appearance bothered Lu Li. The man had his leg broken so he trembled because of the anguish. A trace of hatred flickered in his eyes. He said with anger, "If you want to kill me, just do it. If I told you, all my family would die. If you are a brave man, just end it for me."

So it seemed that all his relatives were in the Wu Ling County. He would rather die than talk was because he was afraid of retaliation.

Lu Li thought about it and coldly replied, "If I don't talk, n.o.body will know that you are the snitcher. How will the Zhao Family try to get you into trouble? But… if you don't tell me, I will kill all your family members when I get back. I mean it."

"You…"

The warrior spat out some blood and looked undetermined. Finally, he had no choice but to say, "Young Master Rui and Uncle Scar have gone to the Frigid Cloud Mountain trying to ambush you. There are four or five warriors with them. Young Master Rui and Uncle Scar are all at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. I've said it all. Just kill me now."

"Whoos.h.!.+"

Lu Li swung his Heave Kylin Sword and finished the man fast.

Lu Li frowned and became worried. What he guessed was right. There were two men at the Spirit Sea Realm coming this time, and they were waiting for him at the foot of the Frigid Cloud Mountain. They might even mobilize warriors of the Zhao Family that were there. His trip to the Red Stone Mountain bode ill rather than well.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Little White came to Lu Li happily. It grabbed one piece of Xuan Artifact and started chewing immediately. Soon, the Xuan Artifact was gone.

"Don't eat this. These are all Xuan Artifacts. They are worth a lot."

Lu Li was not willing to see it. It seemed that the Xuan Artifacts brought by these men were all higher than the Third Rank of the Human Grade. They would mean a large quant.i.ty of Golden Leaves.

He collected all the Xuan Artifacts and fumbled around the bodies. After which, he acquired some Golden Leaves and two Secret Warrior Books.

Then he carefully got all the arrows back. It was not easy to make these. There was just so little poison. Lu Ling only made four, one of which she used back in the tribe when she killed Di Han, and there were only three left which naturally Lu Li wanted to get all back.

The sun started coming out and it was getting brighter. Seeing under the twilight that the two Secret Warrior Books were only of low-level Xuan Skills, Lu Li lost his interest and threw them in his bundle.

After wrapping the Xuan Artifacts with his bundle, Lu Li told Little White in a deep voice, "Call for some poisonous snakes here to eat all the bodies. Leave no trace behind."

Little White screamed and numerous poisonous snakes swarmed over to eat up the bodies. All the bodies soon turned into bones. Some of the armors were now even in pieces. At first, many of the armors were actually in one piece, but those were armors of the Zhao Family. There was no way that Lu Li was going to wear them.

"What to do?"

Lu Li left the battlefield and was back on the moor. He sat on a stone having water and dried cooked meat. He held the map he got from the Hall of Missions and sunk into deep thoughts.

If he were to take a detour back, he should be safe. But then he could not finish this mission and he would have his contribution points deducted by 100 points. Little White would have no more food, but if he went to the Frigid Cloud Mountain, it would be very dangerous. He probably would die there.

"Go!"

At last, Lu Li looked towards Little White and made up his mind to run towards the north. The small Xuan Beast was so miraculous. It could control Xuan Beasts of the First Rank now. How much more powerful it would get once it grew up?

For Little White, Lu Li decided to roll the dice with his fate.
