When the gap between the two sides were too huge, no matter what one did to fight back would be of no use.Of course, when the gap was not that wide, the disadvantaged side would have the chance turn the tables. But in doing this, the weaker side would have to use some smart play.
Lu Li wanted to kill Song Qiao. He had to get close enough to Song Qiao so he would have a chance to launch his attacks. His Blood Claw was strong enough to tear apart the body of a warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm, but Lu Li would have to approach his enemy close enough. Otherwise, Lu Li would be the one to be killed.
Lu Li looked disappointed, like he was willing to admit defeat. Ming Yu was not idiot, either. They cooperated very well. On top of that, Ming Yu’s body was covered in blood so it looked their surrender was real. The chariot didn’t stop and they were moving closer to Song Qiao.
Song Qiao was confused and so was Yu Huashen. Song Qiao was still trying to figure out where Song He was. How come Song He was not here? How come those two could survive?
Yu Huashen was wondering why Lu Li wanted to surrender. This was not like Lu Li, nor Ming Yu…
Song Qiao and Yu Huashen soon had their own answers. Yu Huashen finally understood why Lu Li had acted like this. Song Qiao became alarmed. The chariot was only less than a mile away from him.
"Stop!"
Song Qiao shouted. The Bloodline mark on his neck glowed as he was ready to fight at any time. He was not an idiot, or he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate to the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Song He not being here was the biggest flaw.
Lu Li looked at Ming Yu who stopped the chariot. Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Lord, please let go of my man. Whatever the Song Family wants, I will give you. You want Little White? I will give it to you!"
A small beast flew out from Lu Li’s sleeve. It stood on Lu Li’s shoulder, and Song Qiao’s eyes glared.
But Song He didn’t let his guards down. He said in a cold voice, "Where is Brother Song He? Didn’t he go after you? Where did he go?"
"Over there…"
Lu Li pointed to where they came and answered, "He is fighting with Han Wuqing. Song Fu is over there as well."
Lu Li’s explanation was reasonable. Song Qiao let his guards down a bit. He kept his eyes locked on Little White and shouted, "Give me this little beast and I will let your man go."
To get Little White was the major goal of the Song Family coming over. Nothing else mattered so much.
Lu Li shook his head and said, "Let him go or I will die with Little White together."
"Alright~"
Song Qiao was confident on account of his power and the fact that Yu Huashen was weak right now. There was nothing Song Qiao should be afraid of. He waved his hand and the vines spread out, like a flower blossoming, revealing Yu Huashen.
Yu Huashen was in a miserable state. This "Wood Origin" could not only trap people, but also sap a warriors’ vitality. Yu Huashen’s vitality kept slipping away because he was trapped in the vines. He looked very advanced in ages now and very weak.
"Young Master, don’t mind me…"
Yu Huashen shouted again. There were still some vines around him. He tried hard to shake them off but he could not get free. He looked at his worst.
"Throw me the little beast and I will let him go."
Song Qiao arrogantly said, "Actually, it doesn’t matter to me if I kill you. We have no hatred between us. We just want this little beast."
"Fine!"
Lu Li seemed to be admitting defeat. He looked at Ming Yu who controlled the chariot to fly over. Lu Li looked at Little White and said, "You must treat Little White well. It likes Soul Crystals. Little White is a Beast King so it can be grumpy. You must treat him well…"
Lu Li was rumbling on and his words were filled with sorrow as if he were a mother marrying her daughter. Song Qiao’s eyes glowed when he heard Lu Li mentioned Beast King. He was getting more excited.
About 900 yards, five hundred yards!
Song Qiao finally realized something was wrong. He shouted, "Stop and throw it to me!"
"Catch it!"
Lu Li threw Little White to Song Qiao. Song Qiao’s eyes were as bright as stars. His Bead of Life glowed as it flew over to Little White to catch it.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Little White seemed to be afraid. It started moving downwards in a fast speed. It could run as fast as a warrior at the Eternal Realm now.
"Little guy, don’t be afraid."
Song Qiao’s mind was occupied by Little White. He didn’t mind Lu Li and Ming Yu at all. Song Qiao flew down, reaching for Little White.
Right at this moment—
Lu Li finally had his chance. He made a gesture to Yu Huashen and then flew down from the chariot.
"Hoy!"
Ming Yu made a move and generated a small shadow of his hand with his Xuan Energy. Instead of hitting on Song Qiao, he smashed at Lu Li’s back.
"Bang~"
Lu Li’s back was. .h.i.t on. Because of the protection of the armor, he was not injured. He spilled out some blood while he shot towards Song Qiao like a canon.
Ming Yu used just the right amount of power in this slap. Lu Li was only mildly injured. He had made visual contact with Lu Li. He was trying to give Lu Li more momentum so Lu Li could speed up and get closer to Song Qiao.
"Um?"
Song Qiao was still flying downward. He suddenly felt Lu Li was coming at him so he raised his head and looked back. A glint of coldness arose in Song Qiao’s eyes. He release his Xuan Energy and was ready to kill Lu Li.
"Boom!"
There came a sound of explosion from below Song Qiao. The weak Yu Huashen suddenly burst into flames that burnt off the vines. Yu Huashen flew upward, took out a saber and rushed towards Song Qiao like a beast.
"Boom!"
At the same time, Lu Li’s ring glared as he took out a human head. He smashed the head down and said with a cold smile, "Your Brother Song He is here, catch it!"
A blood-covered human head smashed at Song Qiao, twirling in the sky. The head with wide opened eyes stared at Song Qiao, sending chills into Song Qiao soul.
"Swish, swish~"
Ming Yu’s Force was released. Clouds and winds were changing and a huge power came down from the heaven. Lu Li rushed down and Song Qiao’s body was going down as well because of the Force.
Yu Huashen, Lu Li, Ming Yu, and Little White, the three humans and the beast cooperated perfectly.
This was an interlocking stratagem. They lured Song Qiao into their trap step by step, trying to benumb Song Qiao bit by bit so that he didn’t have the time to react or the ability to have effective coping reactions.
"Apparition!"
Lu Li shouted. Ming Yu lessened the Force. Lu Li generated one clone in midair, then two, and four and more than 10.
The more than 10 clones could move on their own. They all rushed over to Song Qiao. There was one thing in common of the clones, that being one of the hand was hiding in the sleeve and the hands could not be seen.
"Die—"
Yu Huashen roared. The saber in his hand burned in blue flames. With horrifying qi, it was cutting at Song Qiao’s leg.
Song Qiao’s mind was preoccupied by Lu Li’s clones. Song Qiao suddenly came to his senses. Lu Li was only at the Soul Pond Realm. How much power could his attacks be? Wasn’t Lu Li just trying to distract him by generating so many clones to confuse him?
Song Qiao believed that Lu Li was supporting Yu Huashen who was the real one attacking. Lu Li was just bluffing!
Song Qiao, at the later stage of the n.o.ble Lord Realm, reacted quickly. He released "Wood Origin" Bloodline Skill at once. Vines dashed towards Yu Huashen, trying to trap him again.
"No—"
He suddenly realize something was wrong after he released the vines because… there was a strong sense of danger in his mind!
He looked up at once, only to see a handsome beautiful claw reaching toward his head. A cold and spooky qi enveloped him. He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Bang!"
Song Qiao’s head was crushed like a watermelon. Lu Li pressed on and crushed half of Song Qiao’s body…
