“Swish!
While Lu Li was still in confusion, Little White had come out from the hole in the Fate Wheel, its little eyes filled with satisfaction as if the materials in the Fate Wheel were delicious…
“I’ll go look!”
Recalling the miserable cries of that warrior, Lu Li rushed out with Little White. He swung his Mighty Heaven Halberd to break some dirt and gravels and got out of the pond.
“Nice!”
The Fate Wheel Realm warrior passed out and was lying on the ground. Blood was still coming out from his mouth. Lu Li was overjoyed. He strode over and smashed at the head of the warrior forcefully with his halberd.
“Bang!”
The head of the warrior exploded. Lu Li looked at the body in front of him, feeling like he was in a dream. He looked at Little White and asked, “Little White, how can you break a Fate Wheel? A Fate Wheel!”
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White raised its head in pride and squeaked in disdain. It was telling Lu Li in a wordless way that breaking a Fate Wheel was nothing.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
From the north came several muffled explosion sounds which startled Lu Li. He quickly collected the Fate Realm warrior’s weapons and rushed towards the north with Little White. On their way, Lu Li asked, “Little White, can you break all Fate Wheels?”
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White nodded in certainty. With a smile on its face, its fangs were showing, and cold light was bouncing off from them. Lu Li’s eyes kindled. The strongest weapon of a Fate Wheel Realm warrior was the Fate Wheel, the most crucial thing to the warriors. Once this was broken, a warrior’s life would be greatly impacted and then Lu Li could take the warrior’s life easily.
If Little White could break a Fate Wheel with such ease, then when such a warrior released his Fate Wheel, he would be basically courting his own death.
Lu Li ran towards the north at the top of his speed, for fear that Hunchback Tian might get killed. Also, he longed to test Little White’s abilities. If Little White really could do it, then Lu Li would be able to end the lives of Fate Realm warriors at will.
After three miles, Lu Li finally could see Hunchback Tian fighting against another Fate Wheel Realm warrior. The Fate Wheels of both were bumping against each other, and the two warriors were engaged in close combat. Clearly, Hunchback Tian was at a disadvantage and sustaining multiple attacks.
Every time the Fate Wheels came in contact, Hunchback Tian’s face would become paler. Fate Wheel was the essence of a warrior. His opponent’s was a two-layered one, so how could Hunchback Tian, who only had a one-layer one, be a worthy match?
Lu Li sneaked his way over, getting closer to the two Fate Wheels. After he arrived, he jumped up, then swung his Mighty Heaven Halberd at the two-layered Fate Wheel.
“Eh?”
The powerful warrior that was fighting Hunchback Tian immediately noticed Lu Li. At first, he was stunned. Then he controlled his Fate Wheel to smash at Lu Li with disdain.
The Fate Wheel was indestructible. How could it be damaged by the weapon in Lu Li’s hand? Ridiculous! Of course, now that Lu Li was courting death, he would grant him the favor.
“Swish…”
The speed of the Fate Wheel was too fast. Lu Li saw a streak of seven-colored light flashing by and then the Fate Wheel was about to hit him. He quickly jumped down to the ground, shouted to Little White while pointing to the Fate Wheel, “Little White, show time.”
Little White rushed towards the Fate Wheel in a blur. It grabbed onto the Fate Wheel and scratched it hard. It easily latched onto the Fate Wheel and bit at it. Soon, a hole appeared and Little White sneaked its way in…
“What is that thing? Ah—”
In the distance, that warrior cried out in alarm. The Fate Wheel had a spiritual link to him so he could clearly feel what was going on in the Fate Wheel. After the miserable cry, he controlled the Fate Wheel to come back, trying to put it away into his body again.
Nevertheless, Little White was too fast.
It once managed to bit off an abandoned Xuan Artifact with a few bits. Little White gnawed its way at will inside the Fate Wheel whose light died down—a symbol that the Fate Wheel was being constantly damaged…
“Bang!”
Before the Fate Wheel flew back, it was completely broken and fell to the ground. Dust was flying around.
“Poof~”
The Fate Wheel Realm warrior spat out blood and collapsed to the ground. Hunchback Tian, on the other hand, was astonished. He threw a glance over to the Fate Wheel Realm warrior, and then the Fate Wheel on the ground, like he had seen hell.
“What are you standing there for? Go and kill him!”
Lu Li’s angry shouts let Hunchback Tian come back to his senses. He soon swung his saber and cut off the warrior’s head. Looking at the head rolling on the ground, Hunchback Tian still felt he was dreaming.
He had thought that he would die without a question this time. He was not a worthy opponent of this warrior, judging either by his speed or combat ability. For several times, he tried to wound this man desperately to see if he could have some company on his way to the netherworld. He had lost all hope. Little did he expect that he could taste the smell of life in this kind of situation.
To be saved was enough to stun Hunchback Tian, not to mention that the one saved him was Lu Li, Lu Li at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Lu Li easily destroyed the Fate Wheel of his opponent?
This… was ridiculous. It had changed Hunchback Tian’s idea of Wu Dao.
“Whoosh!”
Little White came out from the Fate Wheel and flew to Lu Li’s shoulder. It raised its head, waiting for the praise from Lu Li.
“Well done, Little White, I love you so much.” Lu Li’s eyes filled with passion and excitement. He hugged Little White and kissed it. This little beast was so amazing. It could even break and destroy a Fate Wheel.
Hunchback Tian looked at Lu Li in ecstasy and the cute little beast and he finally understood. So it was not some means taken by Lu Li. It was the little beast’s contribution.
“Hiss, hiss…”
Hunchback Tian retrieved his Fate Wheel. He walked over to the destroyed Fate Wheel on the ground, turned it over and saw a big hole in it. The veins in it were all broken. Hunchback Tian was surprised. He had one of the Fate Wheels and he understood very well that if the veins were interrupted, the Fate Wheel would be broken and the owner warrior would be sent into a coma…
He once again looked at Little White. This time, he thought he had seen a ferocious beast. Little White was small in size but he was even more horrible that a high-level Xuan Beast. Fate Wheeling being damaged would make a warrior suffer even more than death.
Hunchback Tian swallowed some saliva and asked, “Master, what is the species of your pet? Is it an Ancient Beast?”
“I don’t know.” Lu Li shook his head without giving too many explanation. He himself didn’t know much about the origin of Little White. This small beast was so freaky. There was no way that it was some regular beast. In the old days, he and Liu Yi suspected that Little White was a Third-rank Xuan Beast. Now, he believed that the rank must be at least fourth or fifth.
“Master!”
Hunchback Tian looked at Little White and seriously said, “You must not let others know about this beast or it will be snatched away from you. This beast is so amazing. When it is fully grown, it will be even more powerful and it can fight against many warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm and the Eternal Realm. Any warrior that dares to show his Fate Wheel will be dead.”
Of course Lu Li knew this. The mention of warriors of Eternal Realm made Lu Li frown. He thought about it for a while and a cold glare came from his eyes. He said, “Go, let’s go to the Wu Ling County and I want to drown the Bu Family in a blood bath.”
“Eh?”
Hunchback Tian looked at Lu Li again like he was some kind of idiot. They had barely escaped death and now they should be sneaking their way back to the Thousand-island Lake. Lu Li, this idiot, wanted to go to the Wu Ling County. Was he worried that this trip was not thrilling up to now? Or was he thinking that living was too boring?
“What are you afraid of?”
Lu Li looked at Hunchback Tian with disdain and said, “There must be no warrior of the Eternal Realm nearby or they would have been here already. We have been here for a while but there is still no powerful warrior. It means that Wu Ling County is not full of powerful warriors. Even if there are warriors of the Eternal Realm, there is nothing to be worried about with Little White here. Come and let’s fly over as fast as we can. The Bu Family held the candle to the evil. I will have them pay the price, the ultimate price!”
