“Roar!”
Lu Li’s saber hadn’t landed on the Fire Leopard King yet when it suddenly broke free and reached its claw at Lu Li.
“Look out!”
“Young Master, get back!”
Lu Ling and Ming Yu shouted in anxiety at the same time. Ming Yu was filled with remorse and guilt. His Space Sealing was a powerful Profound Meaning but his realm was too low. He could not freeze the Fire Leopard King completely just yet. It lasted only for the time for one breath.
The claw was getting closer. From the depth of Lu Li’s soul he felt fatal danger. Dozens of ideas flashed through his mind but he remained helpless. His attacks were slow. He couldn’t even injure the Fire Leopard King at his own peril.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White’s manes were standing up. Its eyes glowed coldly. With a shrill, Little White jumped off from Lu Li’s shoulder and rushed toward the Fire Leopard King from one side, trying to bite its neck.
“Hmm!”
Surprisingly like a person, the Fire Leopard King showed disdain. It stopped attacking Lu Li. It waved its claw, trying to smash Little White into pieces.
“Little White!”
Lu Li yelled anxiously. But it was too late to stop Little White now. He would be an idiot if he didn’t take advantage of such a good opportunity Little White had created. From another side, Lu Li hacked at the head of the Fire Leopard King forcefully with his divine weapon of Dragon King.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two muffled sounds came at the same time. Little White was knocked away by the Fire Leopard King and crushed into the ground. Lu Li’s divine weapon of Dragon King landed on the head of the Fire Leopard King as well.
Lu Ling and Ming Yu were taken aback—
The not intimidating attack from Lu Li knocked the Fire Leopard King off. It even rolled around in the valley.
“Roar~”
Afterwards, the Fire Leopard King stood up, shaking. It howled in anger. Then it flew up again but it was getting slower. Its situation was deteriorating.
“Ming Yu, freeze it!”
Lu Li probed underground with psychic power, making sure that Little White was alive. Then he shouted to Ming Yu with a murderous look on his face. Lu Li generated clones once again and dashed toward the Fire Leopard King.
“Okay!”
Ming Yu used Space Sealing, freezing the Fire Leopard King and some of Lu Li’s clones. Ming Yu had achieved a quite good grasp on the Space Sealing Profound Meaning. He could freeze any space he desired and would not influence Lu Li’s attack.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li controlled over a dozen clones to whoosh on while he himself deliberately fell behind. When Fire Leopard King broke free from Space Sealing, his clones rushed on while Lu Li himself cut at its head with divine weapon of Dragon King once again.
“Boom!”
Fire Leopard King was knocked down again. This time, it rolled for more than a dozen times in the valley. When it stood up, shaking, again, its vertical eye was filled with terror and fright.
“Ming Yu, freeze it. The Fire Leopard King is trying to run!”
Lu Li bellowed. Ming Yu reacted fast. He froze the space one more time while Lu Li and over a dozen of his clones dashed over in a formidable way from all sides.
“Boom!”
Lu Li’s divine weapon of Dragon King landed on the Fire Leopard King’s head. Only this time, the Fire Leopard King wasn’t smashed away. It trembled and collapsed on the spot.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Lu Li was still worried. He hacked at the Fire Leopard King’s head for three more times before he put away the divine weapon of Dragon King and breathed in relief.
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Li was gasping for breaths. Ming Yu and Lu Ling checked the Fire Leopard King with psychic powers. They were stunned to see that the Fire Leopard King’s brains were in a mess.
Fire Leopard King was strong in defense. Regular Noble Lord Realm peak warriors and even Human Sovereign Realm warriors would find it hard to crack its defense. How could Lu Li kill it with several cuts?
“Eh…”
There were still nearly 1000 Noble Lord Realm warriors in the base camp, yet to go back to the Deserted World. But most of the over 1000 talented disciples had escaped. The Noble Lord Realm warriors had been observing the Fire Leopard King with psychic powers. They were all stunned by this.
In a split of a second!
It was only within the time for several breaths that Lu Li and Ming Yu acted together to kill the Fire Leopard King. It was so quick that many hadn’t realized what had happened. They only saw Lu Li and Ming Yu fly over and then Lu Li made several random moves with his saber and the Fire Leopard King was killed…
“Isn’t the State Councilor only at the Eternal Realm?”
This was a doubt held by many. Tu Hong and dozens Noble Lord Realm warriors had tried their best but failed to hurt the Fire Leopard King. In other words, was Lu Li’s move stronger than the combined attacks from dozens of Noble Lord Realm warriors?
It was natural that they were confused. Lu Li’s moves seemed normal. Even though the weapon was of the Holy Grade, but it didn’t seem impressive. The other warriors didn’t sense any Profound Meanings contained in Lu Li’s attacks and they seemed common, not even some impressive Xuan Skill.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White flew back up from underground and hopped onto Lu Li’s shoulder. Many Noble Lord Realm warriors were even more shocked by this. Little White was crushed by the Fire Leopard King. How did it remain intact? Was this small beast’s defense as strong as a Beast King?
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Ling was relieved. She flew over, stood next to Lu Li and asked, “You learned a Profound Meaning?”
“Haven’t succeeded yet…”
Lu Li shook his head and said with pity, “My cultivation has lasted not long enough. I have only scratched the surface of the Profound Meaning. If I can have 10 days or half a month, I think I will be able to learn a new Profound Meaning.”
“Fantastic!”
Lu Ling said with a smile. Lu Li’s abilities had been improved. At least, his attacks were ferocious. He could now kill a Fire Leopard King.
Lu Li smiled as well. He had spent a long time and invested much energy and now he finally found the right direction. The reason that he could kill the Fire Leopard King was that—he managed to create three vibration waves of his strength.
He was inspired by Tu Heng. During his cultivation, Lu Li had successfully added two more vibration waves. Three vibration waves formed a continuum which was why Lu Li could hurt the Fire Leopard King’s head and soul. He managed to kill it after several rounds of attacks.
Even though this was only the surface and Lu Li was not clear what the Profound Meaning was, but he had increased vibration waves. As long as he continued to study it, he would master the Profound Meaning eventually.
“If I can increase the vibration wave to dozens or hundreds, I think I even kill the six Human Sovereign Realm warriors out there if I can sneak up on them.”
Lu Li felt uplifted. The improvement on vibration wave had transformed his attacks. But he lacked progress on his realm which was far too low. There were many disadvantages brought along by his low realm judging by his fight with the Fire Leopard King.
When the realm was low, he wouldn’t be fast enough and reaction would be slow as well. If Little White didn’t help him, he would have been killed by the Fire Leopard King.
“I must continue to study the vibration wave. Hopefully, I can gain basic knowledge first. Afterward, I shall improve my realm at once. I must reach at least the Noble Lord Realm.”
Lu Li made up his mind. When he reached the Noble Lord Realm and his Soul Shattering skill could progress, he would be more confident to be able to kill Human Sovereign Realm warriors in surprise attacks.
