The Deaf Taoist did not respond to Lu Li’s words as if he really could not hear anything. He didn’t show anger and didn’t even say a word.
After a moment, realizing that Lu Li was not going to leave, the Deaf Taoist took out a pipa and plucked the string while saying, “Since you have no last words, I will give you a ride to death.”
“The Devil Pipa!”
Tang was greatly terrified. He shouted, “Lu, leave. Once the Deaf Taoist used the Devil Pipa, only powerful soul warriors can stand it!”
Tang flew back soon. But Lu Li did not move. Tang stomped his feet in the air and went back.
“Ha, ha!”
Lu Li waved his hand and was not worried. He only asked Tang not to come close.
The onlookers were terrified. They flew away at once. They hadn’t experienced the power of the Devil Pipa themselves, but they had all heard about it.
The Deaf Taoist did not plan to implicate others. He plucked the Devil Pipa after the onlookers left.
“Cling~”
A sound that was not completely violent went off. The space in front of the pipa was trembling, just like a rock was thrown into a peaceful lake.
Lu Li squinted, and he checked internally. He could feel a feeble energy spreading out in his soul and was ready to infiltrate his Soul Pond.
“Soul attack, ha, ha!”
The last thing Lu Li was afraid of was a soul attack. When Emperor Zi tried to take over his Soul Pond to control his soul and body, he was defeated by the silver dragon.
Emperor Zi said the silver dragon represented an Enchanted Soul over the seventh rank. Lu Li did not know the exact meaning of an Enchanted Soul but Emperor Zi mentioned that an Enchanted Soul could only be possessed by super families in the Divinity. As such, average soul attacks could not hurt Lu Li.
“Cling, dong~”
The Deaf Taoist was still playing the pipa. The tone was smooth, and the music was quite pleasant. There seemed to be hypnotizing effect in the music. One could fall soundly asleep to the music.
Lu Li felt quite comfortable after a while and closed his eyes. The silver dragon mark in his soul suddenly glowed, which woke Lu Li up. He noticed the energy in his soul had begun to infiltrate without him knowing.
“Impressive!”
Lu Li’s eyes were still closed but he was exclaiming to himself. The Deaf Taoist’s soul attack was of a deceitful nature. Gradually and gently, one would fall victim to such an attack. If Lu Li had fallen asleep, he would be killed before he could react.
The No.4 of the Purgatory’s Top 10 was really uncommon!
Lu Li nodded. The Deaf Taoist was worthy of his fame just on account of the soul attack alone. Lu Li kept his eyes closed and stayed still as the Deaf Taoist continued. Lu Li wanted to find out how strong the silver dragon was.
“Cling, cling, dong, dong~”
The pipa’s tone sounded hurried. The sound became full of rage. Lu Li realized the soul attack in his soul had turned faster all of a sudden. Many strands of energy infiltrated his soul, swarming toward the Soul Pond.
In the distance, Tang and the other onlookers used psychic power to check. When they saw Lu Li stood in the air and was not moving, they were worried.
Had Lu Li fallen victim to the attack so easily? If Lu Li were killed by the Deaf Taoist, then two Relics… no three Relics would become the Deaf Taoist’s.
Once the Deaf Taoist laid his hands on three Relics, his abilities would be without a match. The entire Purgatory of Primordial Chaos would be changed and so would the nine universes.
Therefore, while the onlookers knew it was dangerous to stay in the region and that they might be killed by the angered Deaf Taoist, they decided not to leave and continue to observe.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The pipa’s sound was becoming more rushed. Even the warriors several miles away found it harder to stand. But Lu Li was still calmly standing in the air.
The Deaf Taoist was a bit taken aback. He threw a glance at Lu Li and kept on playing the pipa while moving closer to Lu Li. The former wanted to end Lu Li when he was close enough.
Tang’s mind was filled with the demonic noise from the pipa. However, when he sensed that the Deaf Taoist was moving toward Lu Li, Tang could not help but shouted, “Lu, look out—”
“Boom!”
With that said, his soul was hurt as if thunder had clapped in his mind. He fell to the ground in pain and shouted in misery.
Lu Li saw everything. He nodded to Tang. This Tang was a kind person. Lu Li’s efforts to help Tang was not in vain.
“Whoosh~”
The Deaf Taoist sped up and soon reached Lu Li. He swung the pipa and smashed at Lu Li’s head.
“Ha, ha!”
Lu Li grinned and held up the Relic weapon against the pipa. While the pipa was a piece of treasure, Lu Li was holding a Relic weapon.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, sparkles came off from the pipa. Lu Li was smashed into the mountain under the tremendous force.
He stood on the boulders on the peak. Due to the strong impact of falling down, the boulder was cracked.
Lu Li smiled lightly. “Deaf Taoist, your soul attack is not strong enough. Do you have other skills? If not, you will not be able to kill me.”
Lu Li had fought many powerful warriors, but he had always been borrowing the strength of the Wicked Bead and the immortal’s body and then later, the Slayer’s move. He knew little of the real skills employed by powerful warriors. This time, he planned to have the Deaf Taoist resort to different means so he could gather experience.
“If you want death, then I will give it to you!”
The Deaf Taoist said. So, he was not really deaf, just not a fan of talking to others. He was a strange person.
He used one hand to pluck the string of the pipa with force. This time, the string snapped. He pulled the string off and it took the shape of a python in the air.
“Hiss, hiss~”
The Deaf Taoist pulled the strings off one by one and hurled them over. The strings all turned into pythons, charging downward. The stringless pipa glowed in the Deaf Taoist’s hand and changed into the shadow of a beast, dashing toward Lu Li.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The python and the shadow beast exploded. Lu Li was knocked away in the blast but did not sustain harm. The Relic armor was strong.
“Roar, roar~”
The Deaf Taoist cried into the air and the robes he was wearing were torn into pieces. Then, his body swelled, and he grew to over a hundred feet. He was covered in strong muscles and his face turned into a ferocious face of an animal. He even grew out a tail and his chest was covered with black hair…
“Well, he turned into an animal?”
Lu Li was stunned. He was not afraid and was simply confused by the strange turn of events.
How could a human being turn into an orc? Did the Deaf Taoist learn some dehumanizing skill? Or, did the Deaf Taoist belong to a special race to begin with? He looked so different.
“Roar, roar~”
The Deaf Taoist bellowed. He was not as large as a small hill. He rushed down. Now, his hands had become claws with sharp nails, with a faint circulation of black air. The Deaf Taoist shouted, “Punk, you have forced the real form out of me. Today, you have to die. All the ones that have seen my real form will have to die. Die!”
