Chapter 662: Conquest
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
“Bang, bang, bang~”
Outside the underground palace, three Human Sovereign Realm warriors were still attacking at the door.
A bald man among them stood out. It was none other than Recluse Solar Dragon. Of the other two, one had a strong build and whiskers, giving him the look of a bandit. The other one was a skinny old man in a black robe.
“Faster. We are about to open it!”
The door was dimming. A glint of cruelty flashed past Recluse Solar Dragon’s eyes as he flew into fury. A huge iron rod of the golden color appeared in his hand as he was ready to fight whoever rushed out from inside.
The strong man took out a large shield while the skinny old man held a purple longbow. He hid behind the stalwart man. Clearly, the old one was a fan of surprise attacks and obscene methods.
The three of them kept shooting out Xuan Energy, which would not exhaust their energy or spirit. The door was on the verge of being broken. They could afford to wait a bit longer.
Lu Li and Hu Lang guessed right. Not only did the three know that reinforcement sent by the Wei Family, the Great Buddhist Temple and Lu Ling couldn’t arrive so quickly, they all were informed that it would take the reinforcement at least half a month to arrive!
Because…
They had destroyed all the Teleportation Formation at the Island of Tranquility. Without Teleportation Formations, even Earth Immortal Realm warriors would have to spend half a month flying over, except for the old freaks at the Demon-slaying Hall that understood space jumping.
Therefore, Recluse Solar Dragon was in no hurry, not to mention that they were about to make it. They wouldn’t be bored even if they had to attack at it for four or five days.
“Little bastard, when the door is open, I will show you a good time before I chop you up in pieces.”
Recluse Solar Dragon said, gritting his teeth in hatred. The other two Human Sovereign Realm warriors looked at each other, feeling chills. They didn’t show anything but they felt disgusted.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
They looked away from Recluse Solar Dragon and concentrated on smashing the door. Their mission was to kill Lu Li. As for how they could manage that, it was not important.
…
Inside the hall, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan were staring at Lu Li whose pain hadn’t diminished yet. The former two felt more frustrated.
Hu Lang knew how fast Lu Li could be. If the latter was fine, Hu Lang believed he could cooperate with Wei Yuan and buy Lu Li sometime. There was a 70% chance that Lu Li could make it out based on his speed. But Lu Li hadn’t recovered yet. The odds of him getting out with Wei Yuan carrying him would be diminished. It was likely that the three of them could all die here.
However, apart from feeling the stress, what else could Hu Lang do?
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The noise from outside was getting louder and louder as the door dimmed down. In an hour, at most, the door would be burst open.
The time for one incense stick to burn went by and then two!
What relieved Hu Lang and Wei Yuan was that Lu Li seemed to be calmer now. But his eyes were still closed and he was pale as if…he had consumed too much energy to keep his eyes open.
“Young Master Li!”
Hu Lang deactivated the Force Field and walked over, trying to check on Lu Li whose eyes were still closed. Lu Li waved his hand without saying anything. Hu Lang didn’t get to finish his sentence.
“Wei Yuan, keep an eye on Young Master Li and run out when you can!”
Hu Lang turned to Wei Yuan. The latter nodded and walked over to Lu Li. Hu Lang held the axe and stood by the door, waiting quietly for the moment when it was burst open.
Lu Li was too weak. Judging by the looks of it, he couldn’t run away on his own. Hu Lang felt more pressure. He must try to stall the three Human Sovereign Realm warriors outside at once to create a window of time so that Wei Yuan and Lu Li could escape.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom~”
The noise kept getting louder. Hu Lang mobilized his Xuan Energy and the axe glowed. A glint of coldness rose in his eye. He looked like a beast ready to devour any human being.
Wei Yuan was nervous. He put one hand on Lu Li, preparing to drag him away at any time now. Wei Yuan wore a soft armor and then another tactic armor on the outside and both were Holy Grade Xuan Artifacts. It was not death that Wei Yuan was afraid of but the prospect that he could not get Lu Li out alive.
Lu Li was more dead than alive. He couldn’t keep his eyes open. He was so weak that he fell to the ground, having no energy to sit up.
“Boom~”
After the time for one incense stick to burn, the door was burst open, after all. Debris danced around and a fierce gale sprang up. Many debris flew toward Lu Li, Hu Lang and Wei Yuan like pieces of hidden weapon.
“Hoy!”
Hu Lang didn’t even try to dodge. The moment immediately before the door was bombed open, he swung his axe. Xuan Energy in heaven and earth converged around him. A huge black shadow of a beast emerged in front of him and it roared outside.
Hu Lang had made a move at the most optimal time. The three outside hadn’t extended their psychic power in when the door was just open before the beast phantom whooshed out. Recluse Solar Dragon, who was standing in the front, was struck by the beast inevitably.
“Bang!”
At that critical moment, Recluse Solar Dragon released a light shield. Even so, he was knocked away. He spilled out blood in midair. His injury might not be fatal but it was serious.
“Roar~”
Hu Lang dashed out like an angry lion. The axe enlarged and he hacked at the head of Zhao Moyang, the Master of the Palace of Crystals. There was a stream of cyan colored air circulating around the axe and on the blade was a golden glare. Clearly, Hu Lang used Profound Meaning.
“Wei Yuan!”
Hu Lang yelled the moment he dashed out. Wei Yuan came to his senses. He grabbed Lu Li and released his Bead of Life. He sneaked out like a fox, aiming for the dark exit located in the corner.
“Hmm!”
Zhao Moyang didn’t move. He merely held his shield up high to defend himself against Hu Lang’s attack.
“Bang!”
Hu Lang hacked down forcefully. Being injured, Recluse Solar Dragon was on the side. If he could wound Zhao Moyang, he would be able to stall the other Human Sovereign Realm warrior, buying enough time for Wei Yuan to run to the exit.
But clearly, that was his wishful thinking.
“Whoosh~”
A ray of light glowed beneath Zhao Moyang. A dark cyan arrow whooshed by. It appeared that the arrow had a soul as it could take turns. It made no sound even though it was incredibly fast. Hu Lang couldn’t dodge it.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Almost at the exact same time, Hu Lang’s axe landed on Zhao Moyang’s shield and the arrow struck Hu Lang.
The shield in Zhao Moyang’s hand was knocked off. He staggered back upon impact and only stabilized himself after he covered a distance of more than 100 feet.
“Pff~”
The armor Hu Lang was wearing burst open. A Holy Grade armor couldn’t withstand the arrow? The long arrow didn’t emerge into Hu Lang’s body completely but the tip was in. The force it contained injured Hu Lang’s organs.
“Still want to run?”
Li Yang, Great Patriarch of the Stellar Alliance stared at Wei Yuan as he rushed out from the door coldly. Li Yang grinned, looking at how Lu Li’s eyes was closed and how pale he was, and said, “Solar Dragon, he will be my conquest.”
“Hoy, hoy!”
Li Yang swung the purple longbow twice and it glared. Two black arrows shot out toward Lu Li and Wei Yuan respectively, carrying with them a force that could be the end of everything.
“Young Master Li!”
Hu Lang was still staggering back because of the shock he endured. He yelled in horror at the sight. If Lu Li was still unconscious, this arrow could kill him….
