Chapter 244: Heroic Person
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Madam Yan had given her personal permission for the bandits to invade the Blood Evil Island.
Her goal was clear, to put pressure on Lu Li, to make him bow to her, and to let him see that in the Thousand-island Lake, offending the Bai Family would mean misery to him.
Madam Yan both loved and hated Lu Li. She cherished him as a talent, but hated him because he didn’t know how to behave and had no sense of political correctness.
The nickname of Black Widow was not something Madam Yan thought herself as. This was commonly recognized by many families of the Thousand-island Lake. Lu Li never experienced Madam Yan’s vicious means, and there indeed were few daring to displease Madam Yan at the Thousand-island Lake…
Madam Yan had commanded that the warriors of the Blood Evil Island could be killed but not Lu Li. As far as she was concerned, to wipe out an entire island was as easy as killing cows and sheep. Everyday, people were dying at the Thousand-island Lake. Adding a few more dead bodies was nothing.
The Bai Family had sent many top level scouts and some of them were even hiding at the Blood Evil Island. They were here to make sure that Lu Li could live and to see if that mysterious powerful warrior that followed Lu Li to the Wu Ling County would show up.
Madam Yan had sent scouts out to contain the situation and to keep it from spinning out of control.
Once Xu Yaoyang was killed, nobody could take control of the status. Xu Chen would be enraged, therefore, the two scouts wanted to report back at once.
…
After Lu Li shouted to Xu Yaoyang coldly, he ordered Hunchback Tian, “Smash them.”
Hunchback Tian’s expressions changed. Killing Xu Yaoyang and Xu Sihe would be too much. Xu Chen would fly into rage, and all the powerful warriors of the Xu Family would be sent out.
The most important thing was that the Bai Family was the organizer of all this. Maybe it was okay for Lu Li, but Hunchback Tian had to live his life here at the Thousand-island Lake. How could he survive if he offended the Bai Family?
On the other hand, Hunchback Tian could not go against Lu Li’s order or the Soul Worms would eat up his Soul Pond. Hunchback Tian had no choice but to smash his Fate Wheel at Xu Sihe and Xu Yaoyang.
“They are not joking around?”
Xu Sihe’s expressions changed greatly. His Fate Wheel showed up as his abdomen lit up. His Fate Wheel was a one-layered one which means he was also at the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm as Hunchback Tian. He was not confident that he could beat Hunchback Tian and Lu Li, so he shouted, “Young Master, run!”
“Very good, Lu Li, you are good!”
Xu Yaoyang laughed coldly but he was afraid to stay any longer. He flew to another battleship and set sail.
“You think you can run?”
Lu Li’s silver eyes glowed with killing intent. Smashing the few warriors behind him away, he extended his arms, inhaled, and let out the Dragon Roar.
“Ah~”
Many warriors rolled off the deck, hugging their heads. Xu Sihe was also affected. The muscles on his face twisted, and he looked to be in agony.
“Bang!”
Lu Li kicked backwards on the ship and flew up. In midair, he produced more than 10 illusionary shadows that danced around on the battleships and rushed towards the battleship Xu Yaoyang was on.
“Lu Li, how dare you?”
Xu Sihe shouted in rage. He was frightened. After bumping his Fate Wheel against Hunchback Tian’s, he immediately controlled his Fate Wheel to hit at Lu Li. Even though Madam Yan had said that Lu Li’s life was not to be compromised, Xu Sihe couldn’t worry about so many things now.
“Idiot!”
Lu Li’s shadows disappeared one by one. He himself went back to a battleship near Xu Sihe. Jumping up, Lu Li threw Little White out and released the Dragon Roar at Xu Sihe again.
Lu Li’s Dragon Roar had become more powerful. Even warriors at the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm could be affected slightly. A fight between warriors of these realms could see the end determined in a split of a second.
Xu Sihe paused for one second when Little White’s claws had pierced into his Fate Wheel and it had started biting. By the time Xu Sihe came to his senses, Little White had sneaked into his Fate Wheel.
“Ah…”
Hunchback Tian sighed. When the Fate Wheel was damaged, the only ending for Xu Sihe was death. Today, nobody could stop Lu Li anymore. Everyone was going to die.
“Poof~”
Xu Sihe blacked out and blood sprang from his mouth. He fell from the deck into the lake. Lu Li flew over, and without any hesitation, he killed Xu Sihe with his halberd.
“It’s over now!”
A scout of the Bai Family that had been hiding in the lake in the distance was terrified. There was no going back now. The Xu Family had only three warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm. Now, with one of them gone, the Xu Family could only qualify as a Third-rank force. Xu Sihe’s Jade Talisman of Life must be at the Xu Family. Soon, Xu Chen would learn about this.
Lu Li didn’t get too emotional about killing Xu Sihe. If Xu Sihe and Xu Yaoyang were not together with the bandits, Lu Li wouldn’t have become so angry.
Since Xu Family and Madam Yan wanted to mess around with him, he would make a bigger mess. Worst comes to worst, he could bring the Liu Family into the small world and came out in several months.
When Ye Cha and the others made their breakthroughs, he would leave for the Central Plains. By that time, he wouldn’t have to be in fear of the Bai Family. It was unlikely that the Bai Family would go after him to the Central Plains.
He had no concern when he carried out his act. He didn’t take any rest before he killed the bandits group by group with his halberd.
Actually, there weren’t many lake bandits in the battleships, since most of them went to the Blood Evil Island. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian killed more than half of the dozens of lake bandits here.
“Swish!”
Carrying his halberd, Lu Li flew up and rushed towards the battleship Xu Yaoyang was on.
Blood came out from Xu Yaoyang’s mouth, eyes and ears because he was shocked by the Dragon Roar. Now, he looked like an evil ghost. At this moment, he had just crawled up. All he could see from his glance to the sides were battleships full of bodies and Xu Sihe’s body floating on the lake.
“What?”
He trembled in fear when he saw Lu Li rushing at him with a blood tainted halberd. Lu Li’s cyan robe was tainted red and he was filled with killing intent, which made Lu Li look like a murderer that had walked out from hell.
“Lu Li, you can’t kill me. You can’t!”
Xu Yaoyang hysterically shouted, “If you kill me, my father will be here immediately. By that time, no single living thing will be left on the Thousand-island Lake. Also, we got permission from Madam Yan. She will not let you go if you kill me. We can talk about anything as long as you don’t kill me…”
“Hiss~”
The answer Xu Yaoyang got was a blood red halberd whooshing by. Since he first started killing people at the Di Long Tribe, Lu Li’s heart became as hard as a rock. For enemies, he had always been cold-blooded. No negotiation needed, just killing.
“Bang!”
Xu Yaoyang’s head exploded and he died. Without even throwing Xu Yaoyang a look, Lu Li killed the rest.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li expressionlessly waved his hand after everyone died. It had been an hour and Lu Li was worried that the effectiveness of his Burning Blood Skill was coming to an end and he would feel tired. He wanted to go back and settle everything down. Safety was the priority.
“He has the potential to become a heroic person.”
Hunchback Tian looked at Lu Li’s emotionless face and sighed. If Lu Li could live on, he would become a hero that would dominate a region.
At the Northern Desert, to become a hero, one must be cruel. If a warrior didn’t treat enemies with cruelty, then nobody would be in awe of him. To become an overlord, kindness and moral qualities would get the warrior nowhere. The warrior must be able to frighten many and must everyone in awe of him.
“This is bad!”
A Bai Family scout emerged from the lake after Lu Li and Hunchback Tian flew back to the Blood Evil Island on Hunchback Tian’s Fate Wheel. The scout looked anxious.
Xu Chen would probably get the news that Xu Yaoyang and Xu Sihe were killed. But, for the scout’s message to get to Madam Yan, it would take about an hour. By the time Madam Yan had some reaction, Xu Chen would have arrived at the Blood Evil Island…
