“Chirp, chirp~” “Squeak, squeak!”

Countless Red Phosphorus Hawks and Stone Rats commenced their attacks. Originally, there were only a few of Xuan Beasts that were lashing out at Patriarch Piao and the warriors at the Xuan Wu Realm climbing up the mountain. Now, it turned into a massive assault.

There were at least more than 10,000 Stone Rats in the entire Red Stone Mountain, and nearly 1000 Red Phosphorus Hawks. Even if Little White could not affect all, it would be terrible enough if it could exert influence on nearly half of them.

Patriarch Piao and the bunch of Xuan Wu Realm warriors were stunned. Initially, they didn’t even feel threatened by the Red Phosphorus Hawks and the Stone Rats, but all of the sudden, the pressure went up.

Organized attacks were totally different from unorganized ones. Especially after Red Phosphorus Hawks and the Stone Rats were under Little White’s manipulation, all of them defied death. They fought against the warriors going uphill. As those in front fell, those behind took up their positions. At least five or six hundred Stone Rats and 30 Red Phosphorus Hawks were gathered around Patriarch Piao.

Admittedly, Patriarch Piao was doughty. With a long spear in his hands, he could sweep away several Stone Rats or one or two Red Phosphorus Hawks at a time. The Xuan Beasts that were hit were badly mutilated and could not be more dead.

Nonetheless!

Patriarch Piao was climbing up the mountain which was very steep. There were Red Phosphorus Hawks and Stone Rats that kept coming at him. How could he go forward? How could he rush to the mountain?

The rest of the Xuan Wu Realm warriors were even more miserable. They were all stopped halfway up the mountain with no way out of the encirclement. All that was left for them was to kill Stone Rats and the Red Phosphorus Hawks with their utmost efforts.

“What is going on?”

Zhao Rui and Patriarch Qi who were downhill were all confused and surprised. It was already freaky that the Stone Rats and the Red Phosphorus Hawks were not making Lu Li their targets, and now the Beasts were all attacking at them? Could it be that Lu Li could control the Xuan Beasts?

“Patriarch Qi, what should we do?”

Zhao Rui turned to Patriarch Qi who answered after some thought, “Relax. Lu Li cannot go anywhere. He is on the mountain. Even though the number of the Xuan Beasts is many, but they are of the lowest rank. It is only a matter of time before we can eliminate all of them.”

This whole thing reeked of weirdness. Patriarch Qi dared not to take any ill-considered moves. After all, these low rank Xuan Beasts couldn’t kill them. If warriors were hurt, they could just get back.

“Whoosh!”

They dared not to move, but Lu Li did. Lu Li ran wildly to the north as if he was about to break out of the encirclement from that direction.

Zhao Rui and Patriarch Qi’s eyebrows raised. Without any hesitation, they brought seven or eight people with them and hurried towards the north of the Red Stone Mountain.

“Huh?”

When they made it to the north side, they didn’t see Lu Li rushing down. They looked at each other and simultaneously shouted, “Luring us out of our base. We are tricked!”

The peak of the mountain was spacious. Lu Li could not be seen by people down the hill. Since Lu Li did not go downhill from the north, then he must have been luring his enemies out of their base.

“Bang!”

Soon, some smothered explosive noise came from the west where Patriarch Piao was at. Clearly, that was the sound of weapons banging against each other. Zhao Rui waved his hand and signaled everyone to go to the west. Patriarch Qi and the rest quickly followed suite.

…

Lu Li already went into battle on the west halfway up the mountain. Lu Li focused not on the Xuan Wu Realm warriors. After he managed to lure Patriarch Qi and Zhao Rui to the north, he immediately turned to the west then charged at Patriarch Piao like a fierce tiger springing down from the top of the mountain.

Patriarch Piao was in an entanglement with the Stone Rats and the Red Phosphorus Hawks. He immediately noticed Lu Li, but he pretended that he did not see Lu Li and continued his fight against the Xuan Beats. He was waiting for Lu Li to take the bait.

For him, Lu Li at the Xuan Wu Realm was not different from the Stone Rats and the Red Phosphorus Hawks. He could kill Lu Li without extra trouble. Lu Li trying to entrap him and sneak up on him played right into his hands.

Lu Li dashed towards him like a tiger. None of the Stone Rats or the Red Phosphorus Hawks nearby dared to attack him. When Lu Li was making his way closer to Patriarch Piao, Little White that was staying in his jute bag on his back cried out in a weird way. At the same time, Lu Li shouted out, “Die!”

Lu Li’s shout covered up the noise made by Little White. The two Red Phosphorus Hawks that were flying above Patriarch Piao’s head made way for Lu Li in fear.

“Hiss…”

The Heaven Kylin Sword came down on Patriarch Piao with a ripping sound. Patriarch Piao saw some cold glint at the corner of his eyes, but he still didn’t pay attention. He used his long spear to sweep away several Stone Rats and Red Phosphorus Hawks near him and then turned to Lu Li.

Lu Li landed from mid-air and he was as fast as lightning. The strength transferred to the Heaven Kylin Sword was to the extreme.

However, in the eyes of Patriarch Piao, it was all so ridiculous. Even though he himself was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, but Lu Li knew no Xuan Skills. Patriarch Piao thought he could easily dodge this move with Lu Li cutting at him directly. After which, he could take Lu Li’s life in an instant.

That was what he did!

Patriarch Piao moved his long spear and swept at the Heaven Kylin Sword. He moved to the right at the same time. He tried to focus on a specific spot first and then used the force to have large-scale attack. Once the Heaven Kylin Sword was hit on the blade, Lu Li would have a hard time controlling it. When Lu Li lost his momentum, what awaited for him would be attacks as fierce as storms.

Lu Li understood this situation quite well. He knew that there was no chance for him to compete with an old guy that was living in battles for decades based on his fighting experience, Xuan Skill, or combat awareness.

Therefore, Lu Li lifted up his other hand. When Patriarch Piao just made his move, Lu Li shot a black arrow to the right.

Lu Li’s aim was very clear. He tried to force Patriarch Piao to fight him with brute force. He was in the upward position which gave him some advantage. He was confident that his more than 44,000 pounds of strength was no weaker, or even stronger, than Patriarch Piao’s.

“A crossbow?”

Patriarch Piao had just moved when he saw a black light shooting his way. If he were to continue to the right, he would definitely be hit by the arrow with his current speed. Sure, he was in armor. But what if the armor could not block it?

In that split of a second, Patriarch Piao had made up his mind. He retreated and held his long spear in a horizontal position. He grabbed onto the spear and pushed it upward.

After all, Lu Li, to him, was just at the Xuan Wu Realm. If he had made it to the Spirit Sea Realm, he would be all famous in the Wu Ling County. It was impossible that Patriarch Piao was not informed of this. Warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm had but 11,000 pounds of strength. What was there to be afraid of?

“Clank~”

The Heaven Kylin Sword landed on the long spear in a hard way. Noise of metal and gold smashing together came as sparkles scattered all around. Some horrifying strength came by, forcing Patriarch Piao to go down. The stones underneath his feet cracked. He could not stand still and rolled down.

“Little White!”

Lu Li called out in a suppressed voice. He kicked backwards and once again jumped up high. Lu Li charged towards Patriarch Piao who was rolling downhill and tried to cut at his head with the Heaven Kylin Sword.

“Swish!”

A small beast came rushing out of the jute bag on Lu Li’s back, sneaked into a stone crevice and followed Lu Li’s steps while running downhill.

Patriarch Piao had just stood up stably after he stopped rolling when he saw Lu Li charging at him like a roaring beast. The cold glint of the Heaven Kylin Sword was unpleasant to look at. Patriarch Piao’s purlicue was numb. His blood tumbled inside as surprise and bewilderment filled his eyes.

The strength from that cut was much more than he had imagined. If he hadn’t transferred the strength to the stones and rolled down, his skull would have been cracked open by Lu Li.

How could a warrior at the Xuan Wu Realm have so much strength?

Patriarch Piao could not figure this out, neither did he have the time to do this now. Lu Li was about to get to him, and the former once again lifted up his other hand, revealing a black mechanized crossbow.

“Hum!”

Patriarch Piao was not in the mood to be overwhelmed by Lu Li. He swung to the right and to the left in order to avoid being hit by the crossbow. Patriarch Piao wiggled his long spear and came at Lu Li with it like a poisonous snake.

A small enhancement might mean a great deal of difference. He tried to find a chance and kill Lu Li once and for all.

“Ha ha, old dog. You are tricked. Little White, do it now!”

Lu Li laughed out loud. A white glint came from the stone crevice down there, and Little White ran out. It opened its mouth, showed its little white teeth, and bit on Patriarch Piao’s ankle…
