Chapter 271: Killing is a Form of Art
To the northwest of the Sun-down Island was an unknown island. The island was inhabitable. There was nothing apart from some rocks and weeds.
By the time Lu Li and Ming Yu came over, Ye Cha was already here waiting. He was so incredibly fast. Ye Xiao should be probing the nearby areas since he was not here.
"Young Master!"
Ye Cha bowed. Ming Yu cupped his fists as a salutation to Ye Cha after some thoughts and Ye Cha nodded as a reply. As one of the freaks of the Thousand-island, Ming Yu had a strange temperament. By cupping his fist and saluting to Ye Cha, Ming Yu showed that he had acknowledged Ye Cha’s power.
Lu Li cast glances to the south and waited quietly. Ming Yu and Ye Cha stood behind him. One of them had a blurry face and the other was wearing the Ghost Mask. There was no telling if the two’s expressions had any changes.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, there came a gentle breeze and it slowly congealed in front of Lu Li. It was Ye Xiao. He cupped his fists and said, "They are here. They will arrive in the time for three incense sticks to burn."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. He was calm and there was no sign of any turmoil in his soul as if the fight was just going to be among warriors of the Soul Pond Realm, not the n.o.ble Lord Realm.
Ming Yu seemed to be admirable of Lu Li. Even though they were at an advantage, Lu Li was only 16 years old and at the Soul Pond Realm. The fact that he could remain so calm in face of such a great fight meant the son of Lu Renhuang was truly remarkable.
Time past on bit by bit. After the time for two incense sticks to burn, there came a noise from the southern sky. Then, a black dot zoomed in. It was an Iron-armored s.h.i.+p coming through the sky.
Yu Huashen was standing at the front of the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p with three warriors of the Eternal Realm and more than 10 of the Fate Wheel Realm standing behind him. He wanted to bring more warriors with him but there were only three of the Eternal Realm left in the Yu Family…
Yu Huashen was a strong-built man. He stood on the deck and let out some qi like a human-shaped beast. His eyes were filled with rage and killing intent. He promised to himself that he would not only kill Lu Li, but also every one of the G.o.d-down Island—every single one of them.
The Iron-armored s.h.i.+p was at its top speed, and soon it was close enough. It didn’t come directly towards the small island but pa.s.sed it at about more than 500 yards outside.
Yu Huashen’s perception was very strong. When they were three miles away from the small island, Yu Huashen’s anger-filled eyes suddenly glanced over to the small island. He somehow could tell that there were four people there. Waving his hand, he said, "Stop."
A warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm quickly stopped the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p. Yu Huashen looked towards the small island in doubt. There were some distance so he could not sense the realm the four was at but he could tell that there were four people here.
"Contain your qi and energy."
Lu Li said in a low voice and then he shouted to Yu Huashen, "Family Patriarch Yu, I am Lu Li and I am here to welcome you."
"What~"
The more than a dozen men on the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p engaged in lively discussion. Lu Li had the guts to be here? He came out to greet them? If Lu Li was not crazy, then he must have something that made him so confident.
The killing intent was surging strong in Yu Huashen’s eyes. Then he said, "Brother Six, go near and find out what is going on."
"Whoos.h.!.+"
A warrior of the Eternal Realm left the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p and flew to nearby areas to collect information. The Iron-armored s.h.i.+p slowly moved in closer. Yu Huashen scanned with his psychic power, trying to get an idea of the three people behind Lu Li.
When the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p was about a mile closer, Yu Huashen finally could see clearly and the killing intent in him became stronger. It was Lu Li. He had seen Lu Li’s portrait on so many occasions. His grandson, Yu Lingxu, died in Lu Li’s hands.
But he didn’t took any impulsive actions because of the three people standing behind Lu Li. He could see one of them clearly, Ming Yu. The Ghost Mask, after all, could not stop the psychic power from a warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm. However, he could not see the other two’s faces nor could he tell their realms…
The blurry faces could be explained by some powerful secret skills, but it was scary if the realms could not be told. What if they were at the Human Sovereign Realm?
"That is not possible!"
Yu Huashen soon denied such a notion. If they were Human Sovereign Realm warriors, Lu Li would have already killed his way to the Bai Emperor Mountain.
What if they were at the n.o.ble Lord Realm?
Yu Huashen was having second thoughts. If they were both at the n.o.ble Lord Realm, he could die here today. His eyes flickered and he found himself on the horns of a dilemma.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
The Eternal Realm warrior sent by him came back to the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p soon and he reported back with his fists cupped, "Family Patriarch, there is n.o.body else around here, just those four."
Yu Huashen said nothing. He controlled the s.h.i.+p to stop where it was while he was experiencing internal turmoil.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed out loud and said in a mocking tone, "Yu Huashen, you have come such a long way from the Heaven Martial Kingdom just to kill me. Why aren’t you doing anything now? You don’t want to avenge for Yu Lingxu, Yu Feinong? Right…I forgot to tell you this. Yu Lun is not dead. I have planted Soul Worms in him. How about I put some in your head as well?"
"How dare you?"
The other Yu Family warriors flew into rage while Yu Huashen was feeling more scared.
Lu Li got bored of waiting. He waved his hand and said, "Kill everyone apart from Yu Huashen. Take Yu Huashen down. If it cannot be done… kill him as well."
Lu Li has actually grown into the idea of enslaving Yu Huashen even if he was just kidding around. If he could get Yu Huashen, put Soul Worms in him and get another slave of the n.o.ble Lord Realm, it would be wonderful.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Ye Cha was the first to make a move. Ming Yu followed him and so did Ye Xiao.
The three didn’t stay on to protect Lu Li because they were confident that they could collaborate and kill Yu Huashen. n.o.body could get past them and kill Lu Li.
"Three warriors of the n.o.ble Lord Realm!"
Yu Huashen’s beast-like pupils contracted and he shouted in fear. He thought quickly. Soon, he made up his mind. Waving his hand, he shouted, "All of you, kill Lu Li for me!"
"Whoos.h.!.+"
The powerful warriors of the Yu Family carried out their Family Patriarch’s orders to the word. They all flew out.
So did Yu Huashen. From his abdomen came a Bead of Life the size of two fingers. The Bead of Life quickly enlarged until it turned into a stone. He flew to the Bead of Life and fled toward the south as fast as shooting star.
That was right!
Yu Huashen flew to the south. He had asked his people to go towards death while he ran away.
To become a Family Patriarch, Yu Huashen was no stupid person. He had made the right choice in this situation. If he did not flee, all would die. If he died, the Yu Family would be over.
"Let’s see if you can run."
Ye Cha mockingly smiled. Then a black light flashed on his neck as his speed increased drastically. Lu Li could not even see him. Ye Xiao also released his Bloodline Skill and chased after Yu Huashen.
Ming Yu didn’t go with them. A Bead of Life came out from his abdomen and he bellowed, "Force, suppress them!"
The Bead of Life glared. All the clouds and wind moved, and numerous Xuan Qi surged his way. The entire world froze at that moment. None of the three warriors of the Eternal Realm or the more than a dozen warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm could move as they were all under the influence of Ming Yu’s Force.
"Die—"
Ming Yu unsheathed a silver sword from his back and cut to his front. A ray of sword light ran forward like tides. At once, four or five warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm and one of the Eternal Realm were cleaved in two from their waists.
Ming Yu again waved his sword. Another two rays of sword light surged forward. Bodies after bodies were cut into to from the waists. Blood was spilling and bodies were falling. In the time for two breaths, all the warriors of the Yu Family that came along were killed.
"Ming Yu, your killing method is quite graceful."
Lu Li couldn’t help but exclaim. Ming Yu put the sword back, turned around to look at Lu Li and said, "Killing is a form of art."
"Whoosh…"
Ming Yu flew away like a gentle breeze while Lu Li shouted to him, "If you can capture him, it will be the best. n.o.ble Lord Realm slaves are very valuable…"
