Chapter 422: Chapter 235: Suppressing Kill!

“Well, well, well… Mr. Lu, quickly slay this creature and join me in besieging Yuan Jiuan.”

Not far away, He Yulian was also looking at Lu Li with surprise on her face.

She didn’t expect that Lu Li would still have such a trump card up his sleeve, waiting until this moment to erupt with such force.

This made it somewhat unbelievable to her.

Opposite her, Yuan Jiuan was also looking at Lu Li with a face full of fear.

Such an unforeseen upheaval had left him unable to respond.

He hadn’t expected that Lu Li, who had just had a breakthrough, would have such deep concealment.

Now, all he could do was watch helplessly as Qin Xuwen was plunged into a life-and-death crisis.

The thoughts of the crowd lasted only an instant.

“Slash!”

Lu Li made his move.

His divine skill flashed by, quickly reaching Qin Xuwen.

He raised his axe and swung down.

This strike was from above, as if a mountain were crashing down, aiming for Qin Xuwen’s head.

The ferocious aura stirred up mists around them.

After his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, the power of the world surged within him.

Now conveying all of it into his lifebound divine weapon, he already reached the limit of his attacking power, even surpassing many mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

Sensing the strands of death approaching, Qin Xuwen’s body tensed up, and his face filled with fear.

He hurriedly brought out a brown treasure cauldron to stand above his head.

With mana desperately stimulated, the treasure cauldron rapidly spun in the void, beams of light falling down and firmly shielding him at the center.

Although he had activated a defensive spiritual treasure, he still had no sense of safety.

If he couldn’t block this strike, he would die.

Just as Qin Xuwen had brought out his spiritual treasure for defense, Lu Li’s attack arrived.

“Whoosh…”

A silver-white light, dazzling to the extreme, was born from the void, like a lotus from the ancient chaos, causing the surrounding space to start vibrating.

The axe light flashed by, directly striking the brown treasure cauldron.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

With a loud crash, the treasure cauldron was instantly split in two, its spiritual light dimmed, falling rapidly toward the ground.

Then, under Qin Xuwen’s terrified gaze, the axe light pierced straight through his neck.

“Ah…”

A shrill scream echoed through the heavens as Qin Xuwen’s head soared skyward, blood gushing like a fountain, spraying the sky red.

Lu Li expelled another breath of Sword Qi and swiftly slashed towards Qin Xuwen’s body.

In an instant, the Sword Qi struck the opponent’s body.

The headless corpse was quickly shredded into mush by the Sword Qi, turning into a shower of blood that dispersed in the howling wind.

From Lu Li’s sudden outburst to Qin Xuwen’s fall, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

It was only then that He Yulian and Yuan Jiuan, who were fighting not far away, reacted.

“No good! That old ghost Qin has led me astray!”

Yuan Jiuan’s eyes widened in shock.

He hadn’t expected that this newly-affiliated Master of Grotto Heaven would be cut down so easily.

While fending off He Yulian’s attacks, he pondered how to escape.

His mind was now a whirl, and if not for He Yulian firmly holding him back, he would have likely fled already.

Continuing the fight, he feared even he would be doomed here.

“Mr. Lu, well done.”

He Yulian looked at Lu Li with excitement, her eyes shining brightly.

At the same time, as the will of the Master of Cave Heaven that was suppressing her disappeared, her body felt lighter, and her mana flowed without hindrance.

The aura of the spiritual treasure in her hand grew even stronger, further suppressing Yuan Jiuan.

Lu Li picked up the storage bag from the ground and sped towards the battlefield.

Surrounded by a flickering blue light, he blinked several times.

Then he appeared beside He Yulian, sealing off Yuan Jiuan’s route of escape.

“This is all a misunderstanding, Mr. Lu, please let me go today to avoid an immediate outbreak of a great war between our alliances…”

As he controlled his spiritual treasure, Yuan Jiuan shouted loudly.

Facing the threat of death, he lowered his stance, softening his tone.

At this moment, he deeply regretted getting involved in this quagmire.

He couldn’t have imagined that Lu Li, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, would possess such strength and have held back all this time, only to cut off his retreat at this critical moment, completely stripping him of the initiative.

“Today you must die.”

He Yulian snorted coldly, her spiritual treasure erupted and her momentum soared again.

Yuan Jiuan, his face twisted in angry shame, fully stimulated the giant hammer in his hands.

Endless radiant light shone, like a huge mountain.

He maneuvered the spiritual treasure to strike at He Yulian’s golden hoop, shaking it open.

Just as Yuan Jiuan was preparing to engage his escape skill and flee,

Lu Li moved.

He lifted his divine weapon and rushed forward.

An axe swung out.

The silver-white light of the axe flickered in the void, shaking the surrounding space.

As Yuan Jiuan barely raised the giant hammer to defend, their spiritual treasures collided directly.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Violent Gang Wind swept in all directions, countless ancient trees on the ground were uprooted by the blow, and the battlefield was engulfed in dust and smoke.

With that hit, Yuan Jiuan was smashed back tens of meters, falling towards the ground.

His path of escape completely blocked by Lu Li, his face was filled with rage, his body erupting with murderous aura.

Seeing this, Lu Li and his ally quickly moved to beat the fallen foe, encircling him rapidly.

They had Yuan Jiuan trapped between them, front and back.

The three continued their relentless battle high above the forest.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

The entire battlefield seemed apocalyptic, with malevolent energy swirling, obscuring vision.

From afar, countless ordinary people kneeled on the ground with faces full of fear, looking at the scene reminiscent of Demon Gods, their hearts shaking profoundly.

Time slowly passed.

Until several hours had gone by.

The three were still fighting in the sky, Yuan Jiuan firmly suppressed by the two Lu Li’s, like a sailboat in a storm, at any moment likely to capsize.
