"Who is Lu Li? How come there are so many powerful warriors by his side? How?" Above the boundless lake, Yu Huashen was flying away on his Fate Wheel in a speed as fast as shooting stars. Even though his expressions showed no strong emotions, he was experiencing internal shock.
Three n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors with Lu Li, a power that could not be matched by any force of the Northern Desert. Three n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors could make a Sixth-rank Force, but on the Northern Desert, the most powerful of the Families were the Fifth-rank Royal Families. Not even the Bai Family, Zi Faimly, Du Family or the Yu Family ever had three n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors.
Yu Huashen had some information about Ming Yu, and he also knew about Ming Yu kneeling to Lu Li at the Blood Evil Island. However, later on, Ming Yu didn’t pay a second visit to the Blood Evil Island, and when Lu Li went to the Wu Ling County, Ming Yu used a subst.i.tute at the Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Auction House. Yu Huashen didn’t read too much into Ming Yu’s actions.
However, he didn’t expect that Lu Li really was Ming Yu’s Young Master. Additionally, there were two more n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors and all of them were standing behind Lu Li, which could const.i.tute a reasonable cause for doubt for Yu Huashen.
"Lu Li is not from the Northern Desert. He must have come from the Central Plains!"
Yu Huashen was sure of this. Since Ming Yu called Lu Li Young Master, then Lu Li’s father must be no ordinary guy. Yu Huashen did not know about the relations.h.i.+p between Lu Renhuang and Ming Yu, so he could not be sure who Lu Li’s father was.
"Whoosh~"
Somebody came from his behind. It was Ye Cha. Yu Huashen’s speed was fast for sure, but it was still too slow for Ye Cha.
The Cyan Phoenix Race was the one with the fastest speed at the Central Plains. If Ye Cha couldn’t even catch up with Yu Huashen, then the race would be not worthy of such a reputation.
Instead of attacking immediately, Ye Cha circled around Yu Huashen and went to the later’s front. When Yu Huashen moved forward, Ye Cha would too, and he kept a distance of more than 800 feet between them.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Ye Xiao also came soon. Even though he had just reached the n.o.ble Lord Realm, the Cyan Phoenix Race had Eighth-rank Bloodline. The Four Patriarchs of the race had all successfully awakened the Eighth-rank Bloodline. When they released the Bloodline Skill, their speed would be increased by 10 times. To catch up with Yu Huashen would be utterly easy.
Ye Xiao did similar things and he moved to Yu Huashen’s left. Ming Yu was coming but he was not quick enough. It didn’t seem that he could make it soon.
Ye Cha looked over to Ye Xiao who took out a sword and suddenly made a dash towards Yu Huashen. Then he stabbed forward.
There was not Xuan Energy coming with the sword. Nevertheless, it was coming as if it could pierce through the void. The sword in Ye Xiao’s hand suddenly disappeared and then re-emerged in front of Yu Huashen.
"Profound Meaning?"
Only Profound Meaning could pierce through the void. Yu Huashen could not afford to be careless. He immediately controlled his Bead of Life to move towards another direction. At the same time, the flame mark on his neck lit up and a s.h.i.+eld made of flames appeared in midair to his left.
"Eh?"
The sword broke through the s.h.i.+eld of flames easily and then vanished. Yu Huashen came to his senses and he shouted, "No, it is not Profound Meaning. This is just some secret skill."
Things that could pierce the s.p.a.ce and void must be some s.p.a.ce-related Profound Meaning but not so if there was just some illusion. It should be a secret skill that had been deduced from Profound Meaning. For example, Ming Yu could tell that the Apparition Skill of Lu Li was a secret skill that had been derived from a Profound Meaning.
"Ha, ha, ha, you have been fooled!"
Ye Cha laughed out loud and then he disappeared on the spot into a breeze. Ye Xiao didn’t understand any Profound Meaning. He was here to collaborate with Ye Cha who was the main force.
Yu Huashen soon began to look for Ye Cha, trying to find where he was using psychic power. By the time Yu Huashen found Ye Cha, Ye Cha was above his head. A pair of golden hooks showed up in Ye Cha’s hands as he shouted coldly, "Yu Huashen, I will show you what real Profound Meaning is!"
Ye Cha abruptly waved his hooks in the sky. Clouds and winds were dancing and Xuan Qi was surging. Ye Cha swung his hooks downward and shouted, "Profound Meaning-s.p.a.ce Splitting!"
"Swish—"
All the surging Xuan Qi came over and they formed into claws the size of a human body which even had golden glares. The claws were appearing so quickly, one, two, 10, 100…
Eventually, there were hundreds of such claws in the sky and they smashed downward forcefully. Everywhere the claws were at, there were cracks in the s.p.a.ce as if the s.p.a.ce was going to be torn apart.
"Horrifying…"
Lu Li was at a distance but he could still see the might in that action. The large golden claws were all over the sky as if they were claws of G.o.ds, ready to split up the entire sky.
"Go!"
How could Lu Li miss out such a great fight? He dived into the water and sneaked his way over.
"Profound Meaning, Spark, s.h.i.+eld of Spark!"
Yu Huashen bellowed. He also used his Profound Meaning which was perfectly integrated with his Bloodline Skill.
From his neck came out many flames that went into his Bead of Life. Then the Bead of Life span around, shooting out blue dragons of flames. The dragons flew to the sky and hovered around and they soon formed a huge s.h.i.+eld that protected Yu Huashen from the golden claws.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
Numerous golden claws smashed into the s.h.i.+eld made of blue dragons of flames. Earth-shaking sounds of explosion came out. There were already some small cracks in the s.p.a.ce nearby, but now, there were more cracks, which made the s.p.a.ce look like a broken mirror.
The s.h.i.+eld of Spar of Yu Huashen was very powerful. So many claws smas.h.i.+ng at it but still could not crack it open. Claws after claws disappeared in the sky. In the meantime, the s.h.i.+eld formed by blue dragon flames dimmed down as well.
"Whoosh~"
Finally, Ming Yu was here. He stood to the right of Yu Huashen, ready to engage at any time.
After all the golden claws disappeared, Ye Cha moved to the front of Yu Huashen and said to him with a smile, "Yu Huashen, the Profound Meaning you perceived is good. It works nicely with your Bloodline Skill. But I only used one third of what I am capable of. Do you think you can still hold out when I give it my all? Oh, also, I’ll tell you this. My Profound Meaning is a Sixth-rank one."
"Sixth…"
Yu Huashen’s pupils contracted in fear. His Profound Meaning was not a high level one, only of the Second-rank. But it was improved after it was integrated with his Bloodline Skill so it could compare with a Third-rank one. But Ye Cha’s was a Sixth-rank one?
Warriors of high realms would not lie, and certainly not about this kind of stuff. Yu Huashen had seen the might of the s.p.a.ce Splitting Profound Meaning and he could barely manage dealing with that. Ye Cha only used one third of his power. How terrifying it would be if Ye Cha used his full power?
"Yu Huashen, I am not that talented and the Profound Meaning I perceived is only of the Second-rank, Force!"
Ming Yu said in a voice as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier, "You should know that Force is a s.p.a.ce-related Profound Meaning. It will not be easy for me to kill you, but it will be easy to trap you. Once I do that and Ye Cha can attack you with s.p.a.ce Splitting, do you think you can still manage?"
Yu Huashen said nothing. It was true that Ming Yu’s Force was only a Second-rank Profound Meaning but it was one of the most difficult ones to deal with of all the s.p.a.ce-related Profound Meaning. Yu Huashen wouldn’t survive one move from Ming Yu and Ye Cha when they worked together.
Ming Yu paused for a moment and then said, "Yu Huashen, I am not weaker than you but I am willing to regard Lu Li as my Young Master. As long as you are willing to serve my Young Master for one hundred years, we will not give you a hard time."
Before Yu Huashen could answer, Ye Cha said in a deep voice, "Yu Huashen, I will tell you the truth. We two are also Lu Li’s servants. To serve our Young Master for one hundred years is not a shame on you. If you don’t want that, then kill yourself so you can leave a complete body behind. However, if so, there will be no more Yu Family."
Yu Huashen’s eyes flickered. He thought for the time for several breaths, clenched his teeth and asked, "I want to know who Lu Li is. Why is he worthy of you serving him?"
"Boom!"
In the distance, from the lake, Lu Li flew out. Ming Yu grabbed him with one hand. Looking at Yu Huashen, Lu Li said, "I am just me and I don’t have any special ident.i.ty. Yu Huashen, it is an honor for you to let you serve me for one hundred years. I am not in lack of n.o.ble Lord Realm slaves like you. Answer me now, die or surrender!"
