Blazing Huo was frustrated to hear those words from Lu Li.
Lu Li was right. Blazing Huo could enjoy endless supplies of average fire, but the unique types were exhaustible. Once he ran out of the special kinds of fire, he could collect more from perilous places. However, the thing was, if he ran out of fire at the moment, he would have no powerful means to fend off Lu Li’s move.
The strongest type of fire was the Corpse Candle which could not break the Wicked Bead. Blazing Huo was in a pickle. At first, he wanted to use the Corpse Candle to burn Lu Li to death or injure him. However, Lu Li was careful and had gone inside the Wicked Bead in an instant.
“Whoosh~”
The Wicked Bead flew to the distance at a fast speed and emerged all of a sudden two miles to the left of Blazing Huo. Lu Li dashed out and wielded his weapon.
“Swish~”
It was suffocating as the blood-red ray of sword light came out. Blazing Huo saw a world of blood. Soon, he was smashed away. By the time he came to, Lu Li had gone into the Wicked Bead, and he could no longer see Lu Li.
“Whoosh~”
From the west came a sharp noise. Blazing Huo did not have time to react. The Wicked Bead had come over. Like a ghost, Lu Li emerged and swung his weapon.
Lu Li was confident because he had the Relic armor on, but he was not conceited. The Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo both had proven to have the ability to harm him. Lu Li had to be extra cautious. He didn’t want to fail miserably.
With the Wicked Bead, Lu Li could leverage its great defense and speed. The Slayer’s move could overwhelm the enemies. He could remain invincible. In this case, if he would still rely on blunt force to fight the Blazing Huo, he would not be heroic but idiotic.
Lu Li was merely over thirty, but he had been in countless battles. He had fought against avatars of immortals. He killed many and knew too well that some enemies had fallen due to arrogance. Naturally, Lu Li would not make the same mistake and fall prey to death in such a way.
Blazing Huo was smashed away again and again. Every time, he had to rely on the black flames to defend. He was losing patience. Lu Li was like a turtle that could not be hurt. On the other hand, Blazing Huo had to sustain all of Lu Li’s strikes. By the time the black flames ran out, he would be killed or captured by Lu Li.
“Whoosh~”
From another side came a noise. The immortal’s body had broken free and was hurrying over to help. Blazing Huo was in a worse state. He had to deal with the immortal’s body as well instead of falling victim to a two-pronged attack.
“Shower of Fire!”
Blazing Huo yelled as he took actions to envelop the immortal’s body with fire. Similarly, some Corpse Candle was hidden inside the Shower of Fire. He wanted to burn the immortal’s body using the Corpse Candle.
Lu Li noticed what was happening to the immortal’s body but did not mean to go over to help. He didn’t even ask the immortal’s body to dodge.
Emperor Zi once mentioned that his body was the strongest under the Third Plane in the Divinity. Lu Li wanted to find out if Emperor Zi had told the truth. If the strongest body under the Third Plane in the Divinity could not stand the Corpse Candle, then the immortal’s body would be of no further use…
Balls of blaze were falling. The immortal’s body was not affected at all. Then, three masses of a white blaze flew down and clung to the immortal’s body.
“Swish, swish~”
A plume of smoke rose up. All of a sudden, the immortal’s body began to shine in golden light. Lu Li and Blazing Huo were equally stunned when they checked with psychic power.
Three masses of Corpse Candle were attached to the immortal’s body. Apart from being blackened in some places, none of his scales fell off.
“How is this possible?”
Blazing Huo yelled in surprise. Corpse Candle was the strongest fire he ever knew. Not even a corpse of an average immortal should be able to stand it. After all, corpses were not alive and could only rely on physical strength. This immortal’s body… was he a mighty warrior or a super-mighty warrior in the Divinity when he was alive?
“Nicely done!”
Lu Li was satisfied with the immortal’s body. Emperor Zi was not just bragging. His physical body was strong indeed.
Lu Li sighed for the fact that the immortal’s body had no soul. He was not flexible, which weakened his abilities. That being said, if he had a soul, he would no longer be a dead body. Lu Li wouldn’t dare to control the immortal’s body in that case.
“Boom!”
The immortal’s body came over and punched Blazing Huo, who was surrounded by bursting black flames to fend off the strike. Taking the chance, Blazing Huo flew away. He wanted to flee.
He had too because he could not end Lu Li. Now, there came the immortal’s body. Blazing Huo would be faced with death at this rate.
Death was not desired by anyone. Upon his death, the Huo Family would suffer a calamity. However, if he could run away, Lu Li would not go to the Hippocrene Universe to destroy the Huo Family for he would have concerns.
Blazing Huo escaped quickly. Fire was breaking out under his feet. In an instant, he was even faster than the immortal’s body. Every time fire broke out from his feet, the blaze would expand, which would create thrust to speed up.
“The No. 2 of the Purgatory’s Top 10 is extraordinary!”
Lu Li went after him in the Wicked Bead while he said to himself. Those old warriors had been living for god-knows how long. Maybe they could no longer achieve breakthroughs in realms, but they had studied and honed many skills and created techniques during their long years of existence. Their abilities were not to be belittled.
Blazing Huo had black flames. Though Lu Li could smash him away, the former could not hurt the latter seriously. For now, Lu Li had no better means. He would just go after Blazing Huo since the Wicked Bead was much faster anyway.
Lu Renhuang’s state was not good. He had lost one arm. It was true that using some herbs could regrow his arm. That being said, Lu Li was hopping mad that his own father was wounded in such a grave way. He wanted to kill Blazing Huo to avenge Lu Renhuang even if he had to get to the edge of the world.
“Where is Deaf Taoist? Why is it taking him so long to go after some warriors?”
Lu Li was angry that the Deaf Taoist had not come back yet. Was the Deaf Taoist stalling because he didn’t want to face Blazing Huo head-on? Was he afraid of death?
Soon, the pursuer and the chased arrived at the portal. Finally, Lu Li knew where Deaf Taoist was. He was standing at the portal with the huge stone column in his hand and three bodies placed next to him, in quite a heroic and imposing manner.
“Deaf Taoist, I will never forget this!”
Blazing Huo was hopping mad when he saw the three dead bodies. However, the Deaf Taoist charged into the portal and did not pay any attention to Blazing Huo.
Lu Li nodded. With the Corpse Candle, Blazing Huo could speed up in an instant. To stop him from entering the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was difficult. The Deaf Taoist went inside the portal in advance so that Blazing Huo could not destroy the portal and Lu Li could have enough time to get in.
Blazing Huo was wrathful. Lu Li did not hesitate. He charged into the portal and found himself inside the Wind’s Gulf.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
As soon as he came out, Lu Li saw the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo fighting at the bottom of the gulf. Blazing Huo was knocked away by Deaf Taoist using his stone. The latter was shouting from being burnt by Blazing Huo’s Corpse Candle.
“Whoosh~”
The immortal’s body charged toward Blazing Huo. The latter could not stay any longer. He dashed upward at once.
“Ha, ha!”
Lu Li snorted. “Blazing Huo, where can you go to? If you have the guts, go to the Prison of Thunder and see if I can hunt you down.”
“Hmm~”
Blazing Huo did not look back. His reply was riddled with ridicule, “I will go to the Prison of Darkness, Prison of Soul, and Prison of Thunder. Try and catch me.”
