The other two sides didn’t do anything either. They took a detached point of view. Xue Chou and Patriarch Four suffered unspeakably under the siege by the Green Dwarfs. When they heard the conversation, Xue Chou secretly called Xue Bugui a fool since he dared to enrage Madman Lyu at this hour…Xue Chou forced Patriarch Nine back using his axe then he kicked off a Green Dwarf. Xue Chou turned back to look at Madman Lyu and said, "Brother Lu, my son is young and does not know how to behave properly. Please do something now!"
Madman Lyu showed a trace of smile. He shrugged and said, "I can do something. But I want twice your original offer. Or… we will go back."
"Yes, twice!"
"Twice or we go!"
Leaders of the other two forces shouted as well. The three forces arriving but not commencing the fight immediately was evidently for more benefits. Xue Chou was in an unfavorable situation. They would have been idiots if they didn’t exploit the condition to blackmail him.
Xue Chou trembled in rage. His arm was scratched by a Green Dwarf because he was distracted. He angrily shouted, "Twice is fine. Do it now!"
Lu Li had just taken a healing pellet. His eyes rolled around as an idea came to his mind. He said, "Friends, if you can help us, we can give you three times of whatever Xue Chou is offering you!"
Liu Yi came to her senses. She quickly said following Lu Li’s lead, "Right, dear great warriors, as long as you can help the Liu Family, we will offer you three times of what the Blood Evil Island is giving you!"
On hearing this, Xue Chou and Xue Bugui almost spit out blood in a fit of rage. But Madman Lyu and the others were delighted. Madman Lyu said with a loud laughter, "Xue Chou, do you hear this. Someone has outbid you. Which side do you think we should help?"
Xue Chou suppressed down the anger and roared, "Three times is fine. We will give you that. Do something."
"Okay, move!"
Madman Lyu waved his hand and groups after groups of purple-armored warriors rushed forward. The other two forces also made their moves. The three Soul Pond Realm warriors ran towards Lu Li like a gust of wind, trying to a.s.sist in the killing of the Green Dwarfs.
"Ten times!"
Lu Li shouted. He stood up with great efforts and shouted with his teeth clenched, "Lords, we will pay you ten times as high. Help us to finish Xue Chou off."
"Rip~"
A s.h.i.+ning sword light was the response Lu Li got. Madman Lyu shot out a ray of sword light from his sword which hit Lu Li’s chest.
"Bang!"
The Earth Grade armor Lu Li cracked bit by bit. His chest was badly wounded and bleeding. Lu Li was knocked into flying for more than 100 feet. Madman Lyu rushed over and said with a sneer, "Do you think we are fools? How can such a small Second-rank Family as yours afford 10 times what Xue Chou is offering us? Also… do you regard us as the kind of men that forget honor at the sight of money?"
"We are doomed…"
Lu Li hopelessly murmured. With the partic.i.p.ation of three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm, two Green Dwarfs were killed in an instant. The overall situation could not be turned around.
At this moment, all the Liu Family warriors’ eyes showed despair. The three forces clearly didn’t believe in them. The three forces wouldn’t even consider about it even if the Liu Family could offer them a reward 100 times higher. Today, none of the Liu Family warriors could run.
…
"How come he still hasn’t used his Bloodline Skill?"
Madam Yan who was staying in the sky showed surprise in her eyes. She mumbled, "Is Lu Li not a disciple of the Lu Family? Otherwise, why hasn’t he used the Mystical Armor Bloodline Skill in such a plight?"
When one was forced into a dead end, one would not conceal true power any more. If Lu Li had in him the King Kong Bloodline of the Lu Family, he would have released it at this moment for sure.
Chief Steward Bai looked at Madam Yan with a frown and asked, "Madam, is it possible that Lu Li failed to awaken that Bloodline? Not every disciple of the Lu Family can awaken that Bloodline."
"No way!"
Madam Yan answered with absolute certainty, "Lu Renhuang is a disciple of the immediate Lu Family, and he is at the Human Sovereign Realm. How can his son fail the awakening? For 100 years, there is no such case as failed awakening in the Lu Family disciples!"
Chief Steward Bai kept silent. He was scolded for several times, so he was afraid to mention saving Lu Li. He knew that once Madam Yan sat her mind on something, she would not change it. Madam Yan would not do anything even if Lu Li was dead.
"Okay, he is here…"
Madam Yan suddenly looked to the northwest and said, "Later, we can know easily if Lu Li is a disciple of that Lu Family."
"Eh?"
Chief Steward Bai looked over to the northwest and saw a black dot zooming in quickly. He sighed with relief and said, "He has made it finally."
"All of you stop or I will kill you all!"
A shocking roar abruptly came from the northwest. The roar was even more horrible than that Liu Rufeng’s Heaven Thunder Roar at Wu Ling County. It was more like the angry howling of the Beast King down in the Ice Abyss which could shake the heaven. The roar made the blood and qi of the warriors on the ground tumble. Their eardrums felt a stabbing pain, and their hearts were throbbing wildly.
The warriors engaged in the fight stopped out of instinct. A man that could make such a terrifying sound must be a powerful warrior. If they angered such a man, they would die without a proper burial s.p.a.ce.
Xue Chou, Madman Lyu and others paused in their fight at once. Patriarch Seven was freaking out. He quickly talked to Lu Li and Liu Yi who controlled the Green Dwarfs to stop promptly.
Everyone looked to the northwest with fear. All they could make out was a black dot. Even though the man was still several miles away from them, a surge of qi and energy that made everyone stressful already spread over here. They all felt like the sky was going to come tumbling down.
"What is happening?"
Lu Li blinked. Xue Chou and his men were in fear and trembling. Who was this man? Why would such a powerful warrior interfere with a conflict happening between forces of their ranks?
Closer, closer!
The black dot in the northwest was getting bigger. Eyesight of Soul Pond Realm warriors was good so they could faintly see the man. When Xue Chou and others carefully observed, they all said in shock, "Him? What is he doing here? Please don’t let this d.a.m.n lord go nuts. Or we will all die here!"
"Whoosh~"
The black dot in the distance was getting closer. Even Lu Li could see him faintly. However, he couldn’t tell who the man was clearly. All he saw was just a huge fire-red lion—a lion with wings!
This lion was larger than regular ones. It was covered in fire-red fur as if its entire body was on fire. It had two fire-red wings on its back, but its pupils were of the purple color. A ferocious qi came from it, making people feel oppressed and scared out of instinct.
"Purple-eyed Fire Lion!"
Someone shouted. Then he added, "No. 1 of the Five Freaks of the Thousand-island Lake, Lord Ming Yu! Be careful. We will all die if we offend him."
"Lord Ming Yu?"
Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven seemed to have heard about this man. Only Lu Li looked confused. He had been busy with cultivating, rarely paying attention to outside worldly matters. It was not unusual that he did not know.
As a matter of fact, not too many people of the Thousand-island Lake knew about this man. For him to be easily recognized was because of the beast he was riding. The Purple-eyed Fire Lion was the only one at the Thousand-island Lake. This man was one of the Five Freaks of great reputation at the Thousand-island Lake. He ranked No. 1 among the five.
Many people were frightened and nervous. They dared not to make a single move. Since they were called the Five Freaks, this man’s character would naturally be weird.
Ming Yu was a famous weirdo at the Thousand-island Lake. There were simply too many people who died at his hands. If anyone dared to anger him, perhaps nothing would be left alive on the Blood Evil Island.
The Purple-eyed Fire Lion should be a Xuan Beast of high rank. Its speed was very fast. In the time it took for dozens of blinks, the Purple-eyed Fire Lion had arrived at the sky above the Blood Evil Island.
Everyone was looking at a man of inexorability standing on the back of the Purple-eyed Fire Lion. This man seemed to be of middle age. He carried a silver sword on his back. His clothes were as white as snow, and so was his hair. His appearance was handsome, but his expression was cold and detached. He had this grim air around him.
This man looked towards the sky up high. He seemed to be able to sense the presence of Madam Yan and Chief Steward Bai, but he retracted his looks soon. Then he leaped forward and shot down from the sky. In an instant, he was standing in front of the Blood Evil Fortress.
Then…
Amidst numerous shocking looks, he kneeled down to Lu Li who was standing about 10 feet in front of him and bowed while saying in a low voice, "Ming Yu’s rescue is late. Please forgive me, my Young Master."
Everyone was still from the shock!
