The Invincible Dragon Emperor

The moment Yan Zhen showed the intention to run away, Lu Li had made plans accordingly. He sent someone to secretly destroy that tunnel. The one to perform the task was not a human being, the supreme king of the Waters Region.

That supreme king was at the Semi-God Realm. He was taken into the outer hall of the Wicked Bead by Lu Li when they were at the Waters Region. Lu Li secretly let him out. The supreme king came to the tunnel in advance. When Yan Zhen arrived, the tunnel just happened to be ruined.

Usually, the spatial tunnel would remain stable when not being attacked. It could last for several years. However, once someone came to attack at the tunnel, it would become unstable. Space would shrink and eventually, the entire tunnel would collapse under such pressure.

The moment the tunnel fell apart, Yan Zhen was paled. Never once had he felt so vulnerable, so close to death.

He did not run further because he could not. His internal organs were pierced through. That chilly energy, though he tried many times, it could not be dissolved. He did some rough calculations. In an hour at most, his internal organs would be shattered completely, not to mention that Lu Li would not stop attacking at him during this time.

“Swish~”

While Yan Zhen was thinking, Lu Li was taking action again. With two miles apart, Lu Li swung his saber. A blood-red ray of sword light whooshed by. Yan Zhen saw a red glow and then entered that world of blood again.

“You left me with no choice!”

Yan Zhen believed that the only thing he could do was try to talk to Lu Li. After he regained consciousness, Yan Zhen shouted at once, “Lu Li, stop. Let’s talk!”

Lu Li did not stop. He did not want to waste another breath to talk to Yan Zhen. He waved his saber and Yan Zhen was knocked away.

Afterward, Lu Li took a healing pellet. Previously, he had suffered quite a severe injury. However, due to the urgency, he did not have the time to treat his wounds. He had been relying on his own bodily functions to recover. Now that the tunnel had been destroyed, Yan Zhen had nowhere to go and Lu Li finally had the time to take healing pellets.

“Send a message to warriors around here. Let them evacuate civilians in the cities. Spread out and run.”

Lu Li told He Yue. He was afraid that Yan Zhen would do something desperate like a cornered beast. He might want to drag some civilians to death with him. It might be too late to let the civilians escape now, but by spreading out, not so many would die all at once.

“Lu Li!”

Yan Zhen flew out from a small mountain and shouted, “Stop attacking at me. If you push me too hard, I will slaughter across the cities. With the Relic weapon and armor, I have several months before you can kill me. How many I can kill over several months? Do the math.”

“Hmm!”

Lu Li snorted. This was a warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm and he was pale. It could be imagined that he was bleeding internally. He just made an effort to stop the blood from oozing out so that Lu Li could not see how weak he was.

A warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm was a person that was almost an immortal. An average injury would not cause bleeding in such a warrior. Needless to say, Yan Zhen was at a dead end, on his deathbed.

Therefore, Lu Li continued to attack without replying. He believed that no longer afterwards, Yan Zhen would come to an end.

He had learned the true essence of the Slayer’s move. This was the true essence established by a super warrior in the Divinity. God of Barbarian suspected that the Slayer once was a super mighty warrior or even a supreme warrior.

Though Lu Li had just stretched the surface of the true essence of the Slayer’s move, it was no less astounding. Lu Li could tell from the fear in Yan Zhen’s eyes that this move was quite horrifying, more so than when he used the Slayer’s blood.

“Lu Li, are you sure this is what you want to do?”

“Fine, then a life-and-death struggle it is. I will never give up before I can drown the Heaven Reverse Universe in blood and bury it in bones.”

“Lu Li, believe me, I will drag you to perish with me. Don’t push me so far. Neither of us will benefit if we go on like this.”

“Lu Li, have you gone deaf? Can’t you hear me? Why haven’t you stopped?”

“Have you lost your voice? Do you insist on going? Fine, let’s die together!”

Every time Yan Zhen was smashed away by Lu Li, he would shout something. He even tried to fight back several times. However, Lu Li kept his distance. He also let the immortal’s body to fend off Yan Zhen’s attacks.

“Poof~”

Once again, Yan Zhen was knocked away. He spat out some blood. He could no longer keep it down. He felt all his internal organs had been shattered. In his eyes, there was no presence of pain anymore, just shock. He knew that if he could not figure out a way quickly, he would die soon.

Death was not something he feared!

He had been living for a long time and had enjoyed all kinds of glory. He knew he could not become an immortal in this lifetime. Yan Tiangang pointed it clearly that Yan Zhen did not have the quality to take the final step.

Sooner or later, Yan Zhen was going to die. He had no regrets. The time of death did not matter to him.

The only thing he could not leave behind was… Relic!

If he died, the two pieces of Relic he had would become Lu Li’s. When his spiritual imprints vanished, Lu Li could take control of the two pieces of Relic easily. Those items were the family heirloom. It cost Yan Tiangang heavily to send them down. For this, Yan Tiangang served as a slave for others, for tens of thousands of years…

Without the Relic weapon and armor, even with the Divine Imperial City, the Yan Family would lose great leverages. The Yan Family would no longer have the authority over the nine universes.

“There is no other way…”

Yan Zhen felt helpless after much thought. He realized there was only one way to go, that was to use some strong skills to force Yan Tiangang to manifest and have Lu Li killed.

Usually, without an altar and the statue, there would be no access to communicate with an immortal who could not send down an avatar in manifestation. But Yan Tiangang sent down a piece of treasure that could invite his manifestation once. It was a piece of treasure that should only be used in a fatal situation.

“Boom!”

After another time Yan Zhen was smashed away, he did not shout. He took out a piece of jade quickly. It was a small jade sculpture. He poured in Xuan Energy and threw it out.

“Buzzing!”

The jade sculpture enlarged, glowing. Soon, some divine might was emitted from it.

“Divine might?”

Lu Li glared with his blood-red eyes. Without any hesitation, he hacked at the sculpture. He did not know what the jade sculpture’s use was. However, since it was Yan Zhen that threw it out; and there was divine might, Lu Li wanted to rip it apart out of instinct.

“Swish~”

A blood-red ray of sword light whooshed on. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was moving about toward the sculpture. The flying sculpture was stopped.

“What?”

A streak of powerful psychic power spread out that scanned an area with a radius of thirty miles. Soon, the psychic power was target-focused on Lu Li’s sword. The immortal bellowed, “Lu Li if you dare to kill Yan Zhen, I will finish you at all costs when you come to the Divinity.”

“Boom!”

Just as he said, the blood-red ray of sword light had landed on the jade sculpture. The next second, it ruptured into pieces and into dust.

“Oh no…”

All hope was lost. Lu Li’s reaction was too fast. Yan Tiangang hadn’t had the time to react before the jade sculpture was destroyed. The last way out for Yan Zhen was cut off.
