The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 796: A Graceful Way Out

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was grinded to death. He had on a Quasi Relic armor and yet he could not hold on under such a strong strike. Deputy Master had been attacking the bead but nonetheless, he helplessly watched as the warrior died.

“Let’s go!”

Granny Butterfly was filled with dread. She would not stay here and wait for death. She flew out with no hesitation, not even afraid that her behavior was going to displease Deputy Master.

Che the Terror and Yang Bucheng were struggling. The Yaksha Race once was an alien race from the ancient times. The race had been relying on the human race so as to survive. They would face collective retaliation if they offended the Demon-slaying Hall.

Yang Bucheng was not brave enough to anger Deputy Master, either, because the Hades Society and the Samsara Place were on friendly terms. Leaving now, Yang Bucheng would rain on Deputy Master’s parade. The former had already become an enemy of Lu Li’s. Without support from the Demon-slaying Hall, he would be slayed by Lu Li sooner or later.

Deputy Master woke up from his violent rage and calmed himself down at the death of the Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior. He now could see that to crack the bead by himself alone would be almost impossible. If he continued his previous way, all the alive ones on his side would be pounded to death by Lu Li.

Should he ask for help?

The Demon-slaying Hall had more Earth Immortal Realm warriors. But dragging more of them here would be pointless. The Wicked Bead was very fast. Lu Li and Lu Renhuang’s team work could annihilate the Earth Immortal Realm warriors one by one.

What to do?

Since the day he was born, Deputy Master had never been so perplexed. Being upon a gum tree, he did not know how to move on from here. Retreating was not an option or else he would have to step down as the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. But he had no idea how to deal with Lu Li, either.

He had no other choice but to keep blasting at the Wicked Bead. Warriors were fleeing in disorder to all directions. The city had been raved to the ground. Scenes of devastation met the eye everywhere.

“Whoosh~”

Lu Li now was aiming at three other heavily injured Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Since Deputy Master had been following the Wicked Bead around, Lu Li could not send out Lu Renhuang. Even so, murdering the three injured Earth Immortal Realm warriors would not be a daunting task.

“Boom!”

An Earth Immortal Realm warrior who was hiding under some rubbles was smashed deep into the ground. He was clever enough to take out his saber and dug out an underground tunnel to go deeper in. Lu Li saw that with psychic power. He had no other choice other than giving up.

But he flew the Wicked Bead up again and pressed forward toward an Earth Immortal Realm warrior next to Yang Bucheng. That warrior was from the Hades Society, a warrior Lu Li happened to meet once before. He was the Deputy Master of the Hades Society, Yang Tiancheng.

Yang Tiancheng was frightened pale. Yang Bucheng had to take out his saber and face the incoming attack. “Tiancheng, run,” shouted Yang Bucheng.

Like a dashing sword, Yang Tiancheng flew toward the north. He was smart enough to fly close to the ground, which made him a less obvious target and easier if he wanted to sneak underground.

“Hmm!”

Naturally, Lu Li would not let a sure victory get away.

He snorted and moved the Wicked Bead past Yang Bucheng so he could go after Yang Tiancheng again. Lu Li smashed his target into the ground. This time, Lu Li did the wiser thing of releasing Feather Wind.

As soon as the Feather Wind came out, Yang Tiancheng could feel his soul under attack. There was no escape for him. Instead of letting Lu Renhuang out, Lu Li flew up the Wicked Bead and pounded down time and time again.

With each move, Lu Li would release some Feather Wind. In this way, Yang Tiancheng was under constant influence of the Feather Wind. He could not go underground.

“Let’s go~”

The other heavily injured Earth Immortal Realm warrior made up his mind and deserted his position. He would have to face death if he didn’t run by now.

One more Earth Immortal Realm warrior had left and Yang Tiancheng was about to lose his life to all the smashing. Che the Terror and Yang Bucheng were alarmed and bewildered. Maybe they would have stuck till the end if nobody had escaped. Once someone set the precedent by running, panic would spread. After all, death was nobody’s wish.

“Deputy Master, excuse me but I have to go…”

Seeing that Yang Tiancheng was at death’s door, Yang Bucheng made a decision. He turned to the west and started running. Che the Terror was no longer hesitating. As Yang Bucheng ran, Che the Terror dashed to the south. Both of them plunged into the ground to escape…

The Samsara City once held millions of warriors. At the moment, most of them were killed or had fled. Apart from those dying warriors, the only ones left were Deputy Master and Patriarch Li.

Of course…

There were some scouts nearby. Families of the Central Plains had all sent their scouts who would deliver news rapidly. Many of the scouts were manslaughtered. But it was worth their while since they had witnessed unbelievable scenes…

“Boom!”

Eventually, Yang Tiancheng was smashed to death. Lu Li looked around. The fact that the other alive ones pretty much had fled did not vex him.

They could run, but they could not hide. Lu Li was confident that he could find Hades Society, Yaksha Race and the Pavilion of Blossoms one by one and kill his targets unless all of them were willing to forgo their territory at the Central Plains and sought asylum in small worlds or hidden areas. After all, those were all major forces with a large population.

Deputy Master had lost his heart. He had no idea of how to process. Patriarch Li acted as if he was ready to run at any minute. It was that moment when Deputy Master saw a man coming from afar. He recognized that the man was a patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall, Jiang Wuwo’s father, Jiang Tianshun. Given that the Teleportation Formation in the city had been damaged, Jiang Tianshun had come from a nearby portal.

“Master!”

“Patriarch of Law Enforcement sent me over to give you a message. The four races have come again and we are losing grounds. Please go back and preside!” Jiang Tianshun shouted from the distance.

“What?”

Both Lu Li and Deputy Master were taken by surprise and both had the same doubt—was it true that the four races were bearing down? Was Patriarch of Law Enforcement trying to get Deputy Master out of embarrassment by delivering this fake news?

Deputy Master seemed to be torn. He would not lost his honor, be it be a piece of fake news or not. But how could he ever sleep if he left like this?

“Master!”

Jiang Tianshun shouted again because Deputy Master didn’t listen, “The four races have an army of a million with many powerful warriors among them. Once Patriarch of Law Enforcement lost, the entire Demon-slaying Hall would be raved to the ground. By then, the alien armies will invade the Great Land and the human race will be no more. Master, please go back and assume command.”

“Alright, fine!”

Deputy Master bellowed in anger. He turned to the Wicked Bead. “Lu Li, I will let you off the hook this one time. When I beat the four races, I will come back and capture you. I will put you on public trial and sentence you to death by dismembering your body…”

The Samsara Palace was practically wiped out. Ji Family had suffered a huge casualty. Those alive ones had escape. It meant little for Deputy Master to linger on. He left with Patriarch Li in fury and flew to an entrance to the Demon-slaying Hall at the north.

Jiang Tianshun didn’t go with them. Looking at the wasteland that was the once glorious Samsara City, the streets tainted with blood, the bodies that covered up the city, he sighed.

Samsara City was once the largest city of the Central Plains and today it fell into shambles. The previous most powerful force of the Central Plains was wiped out. All this was done by one person, a young man in his twenties.

Several years ago, if someone had told Jiang Tianshun that Lu Li would send the Samsara Palace to death, he would not have believed it. He didn’t, not until Patriarch of Law Enforcement told him before he was sent here.

But, it was a fact that Lu Li had done it.

Jiang Tianshun remembered when Xing Mu made the decision. Suddenly, he saw how visionary Xing Mu was. Maybe Xing Mu could tell that Lu Li was extraordinary a long time ago.

Maybe…

Everything was determined when the statue of Emperor Heaven Reverse gave out light.

“Lu Li!”

Jiang Tianshun stood in a daze for a moment before he exhaled and said, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement wants me to tell you this. Among the Asmordians, some has reached the Semi-God Realm, their Asmordian God Realm. Master Xing died in their Asmordian God’s hand. The fate of human race is hanging in the balance. We are faced with forces of the four races. It is Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s aspiration that you will stop this killing and reserve some hope for the human race.”

With that said, Jiang Tianshun flew to the north. He looked back from the distance and left one last sentence, “Treat Ling-er well. Alas…”
