“Oh no—”
The moment the Asmodian Lord showed up, Lu Li shouted. He had planned to wait for those going back to arrive at the city, and then put the rest into his Wicked Bead. He figured it would not be a problem even if the Asmodian Lord came back.
“I just need the time for one incense stick to burn, just one!”
Lu Li was remorseful and angry. He flew the Wicked Bead to Patriarch of Law Enforcement and shouted at the same time, “Spread out and run. This is an order. Violators will be punished with death!”
The patriarchs that stayed were gathering around Patriarch of Law Enforcement because they thought they should work together to deal with the Asmodian Lord. When they first heard Lu Li’s voice, they did not take it seriously. After all, Lu Li’s authority had not been established yet. They were not used to being ordered by him.
That being said, the second half of Lu Li’s words startled them. Lu Li was the Grand Master. How could they disobey the Grand Master? After a short while of hesitation, they began to run in different directions.
“Bang~”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was already struck by the Asmodian Lord. Even with the eighth rank Mystic Armor and special Profound Meaning of the earth as an extra defense mechanism, Patriarch of Law Enforcement took a hit on his left shoulder.
“Go to hell~”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not try to escape. He moved a bit to avoid being hurt in vital parts. He swung his iron rod at the Asmodian Lord. He was confident about the strength of his attack because the Profound Meaning was related to destruction! If the Asmodian Lord took a beating, he would at least be injured if not dead.
“What?”
To Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s surprise, the Asmodian Lord shattered and disappeared under the strike. But he was just there, stabbing at Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Was this not the real Asmodian Lord?
“Swish~”
From behind him came a ripping noise. He could already feel coldness on his back. His bones were frozen in fright. He realized to his dismay that the sword was coming toward his heart.
“Asmodian Lord here is for you!”
A shout that was as loud as thunder came through. From the Asmodian Lord’s left came a long spear which could poke through the void to reach the Asmodian Lord’s back. Around the spearhead was a cold sensation. It must be related to a Profound Meaning of ice.
“Hmm!”
The Asmodian Lord snorted. Instead of going after Patriarch of Law Enforcement, the Asmodian Lord took back the sword and turned back to shield the spear.
“Bang~”
The spear pressed forward with indomitable force. It nudged away from the sword and pierced into the Asmodian Lord’s body. However, this body exploded at once. The Asmodian Lord had escaped in that split of a second.
“Good!”
Lu Li had been observing from the distance. He was relieved that Lu Renhuang had saved Patriarch of Law Enforcement. If it were not for Lu Renhuang, Patriarch of Law Enforcement could be seriously wounded.
“Whoosh~”
He flew the Wicked Bead over to Lu Renhuang and Patriarch of Law Enforcement. After he arrived, Lu Li shouted, “Do not fight this. I will get you inside!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not resist. He came in at once. But Lu Renhuang was different. He had to because a shadow was breaking free from the void behind him. It was coming toward his legs. If Lu Renhuang had entered the Wicked Bead without using Xuan Energy to defend, he would have lost his legs.
“Hoy!”
Lu Renhuang bellowed. Over his body rose a thick layer of ice. He poked the spear downward. He would not shy away. If the Asmodian Lord dared to continue to attack, he was sure that he could poke him through.
“Buzzing~”
Over Lu Renhuang’s head, space was torn apart again. Yet another Asmodian Lord showed up. The one behind Lu Renhuang was still there and now there was another one?
Lu Renhuang felt bothered. No wonder Xing Mu was killed by the Asmodian Lord. This mode of attack was outstanding. There was no telling which one was the real one and all were moving in such a rapid way.
“Buzzing~”
When Lu Li took in Patriarch of Law Enforcement, he released a small amount of Feather Wind at once and spread it out around Lu Renhuang. “Father, do as I say. Wherever you see some ripples, stab at it. Do not hesitate!” Lu Li shouted.
“Good!”
Lu Renhuang yelled back. He looked closely with psychic power. Soon, he found fluctuations in Feather Wind to his front left. He hurled his spear to that direction with no hesitation.
“Clank~”
It was a noise of metals bumping into each other. Lu Renhuang was in high spirits for he had stabbed in the real Asmodian Lord this time. Lu Li was telling the truth. He really could sense where the Asmodian Lord was.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Renhuang was filled with joy. The Asmodians were not skilled at face-to-face combat. Their true talent lied in sneak attacks and assassinations. Lu Renhuang would not worry as long as he could know where the Asmodian Lord really was even when he was at a higher realm.
The Asmodian Lord’s real presence flashed away into the crack in space again. Lu Renhuang looked around and found some trace to his right. He made a move.
“Clank~”
The Asmodian Lord had to shield the attack with his weapon or he would die in Lu Renhuang’s hands. The Asmodians were ferocious attackers but their defense was weak, merely stronger compared to the Voodoo Race and the Feather Race. But the Asmodians’ defense was not a match to that of the Barbarian Race.
“Hmm~”
The Asmodian Lord grunted coldly. He didn’t appear this time, but in the next second, he appeared beside a patriarch and suddenly stabbed him in the head.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The other patriarchs and deacons were flying around. However, they were too slow compared to the Asmodian Lord. Lu Li felt sorry for them. He took Lu Renhuang into the Wicked Bead first and then flew to the patriarchs one by one to get them inside.
“No, not my Great Grandfather Three!”
When the Asmodian Lord resurfaced after he had killed three people, he was near Lu Li’s Great Grandfather Three. Lu Li bellowed, “Asmodian Lord if you dare to kill my Great Grandfather Three, I swear I will wipe out the Asmodians!”
“Ha, ha, ha~”
The Asmodian Lord laughed more than happily, “This is your Great Grandfather Three? How wonderful!”
“Bang!”
The Asmodian Lord ripped into Lu Li’s Great Grandfather Three’s head. Even though he was wearing a Quasi Relic armor, it was not enough to stop the sword. Previously, Little White had bite off the blade of the sword. Somehow, the Asmodian Lord had repaired it. Now, it was even stiffer than a Quasi Relic.
“Bang, bang, bang~”
The Asmodian Lord dragged the sword out and slashed Great Grandfather Three’s limbs, cutting them off. By the time Lu Li arrived, his Great Grandfather Three had turned into a pile of minced flesh…
“Ah, no! Asmodian Lord, go to hell!”
Lu Li’s angry shout echoed to the clouds. Inside the hall within the Wicked Bead, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Renhuang both learned what had happened. It was mournful. Great Grandfather Three was Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s cousin, one of the senior warriors of the Lu Family.
“Darling…”
Looking at Lu Li, Jiang Qiling wanted to comfort him but found no words. Lu Li did not have the time to talk to them at the moment. He choked down the sorrow and continued to take others into the Wicked Bead.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
The Asmodian Lord laughed wildly as he kept killing more and more human warriors. The thousands of warriors could not have escaped all at once.
What was more important was that—the shield over the city had been activated. Even though some had fled to the city gate, the people inside could not open the shield to let them in. On the off chance that the Asmodian Lord took the chance to enter the city, it would be a nightmare for all the people inside if that would happen.
Clearly, Lu Li noticed this fact. He shouted merely after a moment, “I am Lu Li. I order you to open the shield. If the Asmodian Lord dares to go in, I will kill him!”
“You cannot do this!”
Both Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Renhuang were taken by surprise. Once the shield was deactivated and opened, the Asmodian Lord might go in. That would be a disaster for the millions of human warriors in the city.
