"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
The hundreds of b.u.t.terflies released by Jiang Qiling filled the hall. Dozens of them whooshed into the old guard and the others were rus.h.i.+ng toward the patriarchs.
Du Ran was among the patriarchs. Once hit by more than a dozen b.u.t.terflies, he could not move. The same thing happened to the other patriarchs as well.
Jiang Qiling was now at the n.o.ble Lord Realm and her b.u.t.terflies had evolved to the sixth rank. Disciples of the 12 Royal Families had their own unique ways to cultivate their Bloodline Skills. The high the level was, the more powerful the Skills were. Sixth rank b.u.t.terflies could beat almost all the n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors.
"Go and ask Family Patriarch to come. Hurry!"
A patriarch shouted while he still could. Jiang Qiling had just entered the Demon-slaying Grounds, so there was still a chance before it was too late…
The Demon-slaying Grounds was familiar to the Du Family. There was only a slim chance of surviving in there. The Du Family sent in many warriors but those who could come out were few and far between. If Jiang Qiling died in there, Jiang Wuwo would fly into rage. It would not end well for the Du Family.
After a moment, a man rushed out from a mansion. Without wasting any time, he released a Force Field and contained all the b.u.t.terflies. Then, he vanished into the portal.
…
It was a desert. Lu Li appeared in midair and then crushed down. If it were not for the fact that he reacted fast, he would have landed on his face.
"This is the Demon-slaying Grounds?"
Lu Li was shocked to find that there was nothing around him, except for the boundless desert. There were no piles of bodies or rivers and stinks of blood like he had imagined.
"This is a small world?"
Lu Li looked to the sky and saw two suns. There were no Xuan Qi in heaven or earth. He felt like it was a dead land.
"Eh?"
Soon, he saw another person emerging in the sky. A red-dressed lady flew down like a kite. He frowned when he saw her clearly, "Jiang Qiling, what are you doing here? This is not okay!"
"Idiot~"
Jiang Qiling grabbed Lu Li"s hand and flew to another direction while she explained, "If I don"t come in, you will never find the Hall of Battlefield and you will be taken back soon. Don"t waste time. Come with me.!"
Lu Li"s plan was only to let Jiang Qiling send him to the entrance and to come in by himself. Never did he think about dragging her with him on this adventure. If something happened to her, he might lose his mind.
Yet at this moment, he could say nothing else. He could tell that Jiang Qiling was fast but still, she was slower than him.
Promptly, he released his four-layered Fate Wheel, dragged her on and said, "Let me take you. You are too slow."
"I am slow? Oh?"
Before she could finish her sentence, the four-layered Fate Wheel began to spin. Then they whooshed on in a blur. The speed was more than 10 times faster than Jiang Qiling"s.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
Jiang Qiling could hear the wind whoos.h.i.+ng and saw the mountains pa.s.sing. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief. She asked, "Lu Li, you…you are even faster than a warrior at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. How are you doing this?"
More than one year ago, Lu Li and Mong Huo had a fight, during which Lu Li suddenly tumbled to the fact of how to use the Speed Profound Meaning. Since then, his speed could compete with a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. Later, he built another two Fate Wheels and gained more insight of the Speed Profound Meaning, which elevated his speed once again. Currently, he was definitely faster than a warrior of the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li smiled a mysterious smile and explained casually, "I grasped a Profound Meaning which elevated my speed."
"Profound Meaning?"
Jiang Qiling exclaimed in envy, "You really are a genius. Your Profound Meaning must be higher than the seventh rank. Good heavens…you are more talented than your father."
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li replied with a smile but he didn"t give further explanation. He knew clearly, though, that his Speed Profound Meaning was not of a high rank. The fact that he could be so fast was attributable to his Fate Wheel. Of course, he mentioned this to n.o.body, including Jiang Qiling.
"Nice, good!"
Jiang Qiling was cheered up. Her pretty eyes were filled with joy. She nodded and said, "Your speed and my Bloodline Skill combined can guarantee us beating all the other talented warriors in the small battlefield. It"s like the points are at our fingertips."
"Wait!"
Lu Li threw a damp over her and said, "Lady Jiang, not us, just me! I am the only one going to the small battlefield. You should be good and go back. This is not a place for fun."
"Hmm!"
Jiang Qiling raised her head in pride and said, "Lu Li, don"t think so much of yourself just because of this Profound Meaning. My Soulfeast b.u.t.terfly is at the sixth level now and I can easily beat other n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors. Without me, you will never get enough points!"
"n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors?"
Lu Li pouted and answered, "I can already do that year and a half ago. You lack experiences in real fights. You will be only adding to my burden."
"Hey, look, there are cows in the sky!"
Jiang Qiling didn"t buy it. She threw Lu Li a glance and said, "This is a formation like a maze. Without me showing the way, you will never get out, let alone finding the Demon-slaying Hall. Du Family people are on our tails. Think about it. Do you want me to go with you or be dragged back by the Du Family?"
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. He finally understood why Jiang Wuwo could not control her. If he had a daughter like this, he might have gone mad already.
"Okay!"
Lu Li sighed and replied, "You can go in. But…you must listen to my orders. Or I will leave you alone and let you be eaten by the alien races."
Smiling from ear to ear, she said, "Okay, no problem. I will listen to you. Go on now!"
Theoretically speaking, there were be very few Human Sovereign Realm warriors in the small battlefield. Even if there were, Lu Li would be so much faster than the initial Human Sovereign Realm warriors. He and Jiang Qiling should be fine as long as they would be cautious.
Lu Li once saw Jiang Qiling"s Soulfeast b.u.t.terfly. Needless to say, an eight-rank Bloodline was powerful. If they could cooperate well, they might be able to achieve greatly.
Lu Li controlled his Fate Wheel to fly in a straight line. After the time for several incense sticks to burn, a wind sprang up, raising dusts and dirt, blurring their visions.
"Fly back!"
Jiang Qiling said. Lu Li asked with a frown, "Back? What if the Du Family Patriarch catches up with us?"
"Silly!" Jiang Qiling answered, "I told you that this is like a maze. If you fly forward, you will never get out."
"Oh, okay."
Lu Li turned around and flew tailwind. They flew until it was time for another incense stick to burn but encountered n.o.body. Soon, the wind stopped. But another fit of gale sprang up ahead of them, blowing to the left.
"Fly to the left. We will be out soon."
Jiang Qiling grinned. The ring on her hand glowed as she took out a mask. Putting it on, the mask disappeared. She became a different person, a quiet, dignified lady.
"Eh? Why do you wear the mask? You are afraid to run into someone familiar?" Lu Li was curious.
"Idiot!"
Jiang Qiling glared at him and answered, "There are someone from the Pavilion of Delicacy in the Demon-slaying Hall. Also…my grandpa is in there. If he sees me, I will not be able to go into the small battlefield. Also…your great grandpa is there as well. I remember he is the Law Enforcement Patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall!"
"Great grandpa?"
Lu Li trembled. That was his grandpa"s father. So, why was Lu Li"s great grandpa not concerned that his son was poisoned and might die at any time now?
