“Buzzing!”
Patriarch Sun and the other four had been moved away from the mermaids. Lu Li put them into the Wicked Bead. Patriarch Sun and the four patriarchs had not recovered their consciousness completely but as soon as they entered the Wicked Bead, they were fully awake. All blushed for their deeds.
“Human leader, you are resourceful. I admire you for that!”
After several rounds of attack, Zi Ji’s people managed to retreat. She stopped moving the waters. Instead, she took out an oyster shell and put it to her mouth. With a smile, she said, “Human leader, now, you have the right to listen to our absolute divine song, “Sonata of Mermaids”. If you can survive this song, then I will admit defeat to you.”
“Dee~Dee, woo~loo…”
Zi Ji put the oyster shell and played a unique song. The several Mermaid Beast Kings danced around her. The mist thickened, but Lu Li could see everything on the island clearly as if the island’s views were embedded in his mind.
Lu Li’s eyes became misty and enchanted by the music. He noticed the world was changing. He was on a picturesque island, with a group of beautiful girls dancing around him. They did not try to seduce him, and their dance was natural, a dance that only displays the delicacy of ladies’ body and beauty.
The island was pleasant to the eyes, surreal and so were the girls. Everything seemed unreal and yet real at the same time.
And that unique, melodious music was from heaven. The music could help people relax and immerse in this natural beauty.
Slowly, Lu Li closed his eyes, intoxicated. On the actual island, Zi Ji’s smile grew wider and wider.
She continued to play but she winked at the Mermaid Beast King behind her. Those dancing girls suddenly leaped up and danced in the air, closing up to Lu Li.
“Whoosh~”
Zi Ji herself kicked on the ground and leaped forth, gradually moving closer to Lu Li. At the same time, she closely checked Lu Li’s physical condition to make sure that his soul was seized by divine music.
The mermaids were skilled on two fronts. The first was soul attack and the second was control of water. Since Profound Meanings of water did not work on Lu Li, Zi Ji had to resort to soul attack.
As a talent of the Mermaid Race that was rarely seen in ten thousand years, she had reached the stage of a Beast God, which allowed her to take shapes of human beings. Furthermore, she learned the absolute divine music of the Mermaid Race—the “Sonata of Mermaids”.
For this reason, Zi Ji was confident. Lu Li was merely at the latter stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. Even regular Semi-God Realm warriors could be confused by the “Sonata of Mermaids” and thus sunk into a strange illusion involuntarily, killed before they could react…
Two miles, one and a half miles!
Lu Li’s eyes remained closed. Xuan Energy was undisturbed. He seemed to have lost himself in this illusion.
Zi Ji’s eyes glowed even brighter. She still carried out her actions with caution. She had her people approaching Lu Li while she followed them and kept playing the singular song.
One mile, half a mile!
Zi Ji was becoming short of breaths. She stared at the Wicked Bead. Even though she had never been to the Great Land, she did pick up some information after staying among the Asmodians for a long time.
She knew that Lu Li had a Relic. The Asmodian Lord bent over backwards, just to obtain the Relic. If she could kill Lu Li and acquire the Relic, she might be able to lead the mermaids to glory—find their way back to their ancient land and dominate the world.
Two thousand feet, one thousand feet!
Lu Li still showed no reaction. Zi Ji was wondering if she should let her Beast Kings finish the job or should she kill Lu Li herself. Lu Li’s realm was low. That being said, he was the leader of the human race and someone that could end the Asmodian Lord. What if her Beast Kings were not adequate enough?
On the other hand, if she were to deal with him in person—what if Lu Li had other powerful means and put up a desperate fight when his life was coming to an end?
“Never mind. Better safe than sorry!”
Zi Ji made up her mind. Her main concern was the fact that Lu Li had killed the Asmodian Lord. She was not around and did not know how Lu Li did it. Nevertheless, she was sure that Lu Li must have more methods.
She signaled to her underlings. More than a dozen of them were seized with murderous intent. They took out their tridents and dashed to Lu Li at the top of their speeds.
“No, get back—”
The Beast Kings were charging forward. When they were merely 100 feet away from Lu Li, Zi Ji suddenly screamed. She noticed Lu Li’s lips were twisting. He grinned a wicked grin.
“Too late now!”
Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. His hands waved and he let out the might that belonged to a Beast God. Feather Wind weapons were shot at all directions. In the meantime, he built the Feather Wind castle to envelop the Mermaid Beast Kings. The Wicked Bead lit up as Little White flew out in a blur.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”
The distance was short. Lu Li had taken surprising actions. Many Mermaid Beast Kings did not have the time to build water shields. When they were affected by the might of the Beast God, six of them had been struck by Feather Wind weapons which pierced their bodies. Those Mermaid Beast Kings were torn apart by the Feather Wind weapons immediately.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The remaining Mermaid Beast Kings were better, and they reacted faster. However, Lu Li was too close to them. All were badly wounded and smashed into the walls of the castle.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White roared as it charged over. Little White was incredibly fast. A Mermaid Beast King had just been knocked away when Little White landed on her neck and bit her. The Mermaid Beast King let out a miserable cry. After a flash, her body changed back to the original shape, a mermaid that was half human being and a half fish.
“Lu Li. How dare you?”
Zi Ji saw many of her people dying in that instant. That little beast of Lu Li’s was charging toward another Beast King. Zi Ji flew into rage. She waved her truncheon. Dragons of water danced around while trying to tear apart Lu Li’s Feather Wind castle.
“Ha, ha, ha, it is too late!”
Lu Li laughed. He continued to use Feather Wind weapons to cooperate with Little White. All those Mermaid Beast Kings were injured. By the time Zi Ji cracked the Feather Wind castle, all of them would have lost their lives.
“Ah!”
Every time Little White glowed, there would be one less Mermaid Beast King. They would lose their human shape and die in their original appearances, a mermaid. Their tails’ scales reflected a cold hue and were very unsettling.
“Bang!”
A Mermaid Beast King waved her trident at Little White with tremendous force. Little White bit at the trident which fell into pieces at once. Little White then opened its mouth at the Mermaid Beast King’s hand. Needless to say, the Beast King died horribly…
“Bang~”
Those Mermaid Beast Kings tried many ways to break down the Feather Wind castle in order to run away. However, as they brought down one room, they found themselves inside more of it.
Lu Li’s Feather Wind weapons almost had infinite numbers. The Mermaid Beast Kings who were already injured were killed one by one soon.
“Lu Li, bring it on!”
Zi Ji’s pretty face was twisted as she saw her people falling one after another. The white truncheon danced madly in her hands. Waves were stirred up in the water, pressing toward the Feather Wind castle. The water took shapes of dragons inside the castle and wreaked havoc.
“Boom~”
Finally, the Feather Wind castle fell. Yet, all the Mermaid Beast Kings had already lost their lives. None of those weak Beast Kings could survive when Little White and Lu Li cooperated together.
“Getting impatient?”
Lu Li gathered some Feather Wind weapons to stop the dragons of water. “Zi Ji, you have asked for it. I have come to the Underworld Realm just to seek the blood of a Beast God. Your blood has no value for me. I did not want to get into trouble with you. So, why do you have to fight me? This is what you get by challenging me!” Lu Li said while mocking her.
