“This Zi Ji is scheming!”

Lu Li noted how he and Patriarch Sun fell for her lies. He knew he could not underestimate this lady.

Just now, he almost bought that Zi Ji was befriending him. Not only did he lost all will to fight her, he almost accepted her invitation to come to the island.

If...

He did not make up his mind and turned down the offer and had come to the island with Patriarch Sun and the others, the consequences would be unthinkable. Zi Ji must have some ingenious plans. While he might survive, but someone else would be doomed for sure.

“Hmm! Feather Wind castle, spread out!”

Lu Li did not hesitate. He activated the Feather Wind castle at once and this one’s circumference was over three miles—covering up Patriarch Sun, the other four patriarchs, the Beast Kings, Zi Ji and other Beast Kings of hers.

Patriarch Sun and the other four must be stopped before they reach Zi Ji. At the same time, Lu Li must protect himself against attacks from Zi Ji and the Beast Kings.

Feather Wind castle was undoubtedly a suitable way to protect Patriarch Sun and the other four, and attack Zi Ji and the Beast Kings at the same time.

Sure enough...

As soon as the Feather Wind castle appeared, Patriarch Sun and the other four fell prey to the pain, howling and rolling around. The Beast Kings lost the ability to attack. They tumbled in the air, screaming and howling—loud enough to shake the sky and earth.

“What?”

What shocked Lu Li was that Zi Ji and the Beast Kings of her species were not influenced at all. Zi Ji comfortably remained standing on the island. As for the Beast Kings of her species, they took out tridents while smashing at the walls of the Feather Wind castle, and charged toward Patriarch Sun and the others.

“The Mermaid Race must be good at soul attacks and their souls are strong enough to stand the attack of the Feather Wind.”

Lu Li was not worried, though. He generated many Feather Wind weapons and whooshed them toward the girls.

The Feather Wind weapons contained not only soul attack—but that of strength. Those girls were just Beast Kings. Could they stand such a forceful attack?

At the same time, Lu Li changed the Feather Wind castle while moving the rooms where Patriarch Sun and the other patriarchs closer to Lu Li, and further away from the mermaids. Rooms of his Feather Wind castle could be shifted at will, which made it hard for others to try and reach him by breaking down rooms of the Feather Wind castle.

“Whoosh, whoosh~”

Over a thousand Feather Wind weapons dashed on and reached the more than a dozen Mermaid Beast Kings at once. “Water Shield!” Zi Ji shouted.

“Buzzing!”

The over a dozen Mermaid Beast Kings acted at once. Their bodies were surrounded by a dark blue hue. Then, in front of them appeared dark blue shields which seemed to be made of water. There were ripples on them, and it seems to be very peculiar.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The Feather Wind weapons all smashed into the Mermaid Beast Kings’ water shields. Lu Li was stupefied that—the Feather Wind weapons that could pierce through mountains, and destroy iron-made weapons, could not rip the half-transparent, thin, water shields.

When the Feather Wind weapons reached the water shields, the Mermaid Beast Kings’ grip would wiggle, with many ripples and vortexes appearing. The weapons would spin along with the ripples till all the power was lost!

“Transference of power? The soft overcoming the hard? Those water shields are something else!”

Lu Li nodded to himself. No matter how strong the power was, it would be absorbed when hitting the water. The Mermaid Beast Kings’ water shields were wonderous. This must be their inborn skill. After all, mermaids lived in the water and it was only natural that they could leverage the strength of water.

“Swish, swish~”

A silver glow rose behind Lu Li’s back. A silver dragon reached up and disappeared into the sky. In the next second, the silver dragon re-emerged above the head of a Mermaid Beast King. Lu Li doubted that the mermaids’ water shields could shield them from the Rising Dragon Skill.

“Swish~”

Space above the head of a Mermaid Beast King cracked, allowing a golden claw to reach down. Frightened, the Mermaid Beast King tried to build another water shield.

“Bang!”

Maybe the water shield had come too low, or maybe, the Rising Dragon Skill was too strong. Either way, the water shield was blasted open. The huge golden claw of a dragon pressed down and eventually crushing the Mermaid Beast King.

Rising Dragon Skill had helped Lu Li kill several Human Sovereign Realm warriors previously. Not surprisingly, the skill could smash Beast Kings. Another glow rose up behind Lu Li’s back as he generated another beast claw. He checked Zi Ji with psychic power. He did not care about the Mermaid Beast Kings. What he wanted to see was the reaction of Zi Ji.

Zi Ji did have a reaction!

Her kind only had more than 10 Beast Kings. She could not watch as Lu Li killed them. She took out a truncheon and waved it above her head!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

With that move, waves were stirred up in waters around the area. Next, columns of water whooshed by. Those columns of water were nearby one hundred feet in diameter. Like dragons, those columns of water were surging toward the Feather Wind castle.

“Are you trying to bring down my Feather Wind with just water columns?”

Lu Li was surprised and bewildered. Zi Ji should be better than to resort to such a skill. After all, every second delayed, she would lose one more of her people. She should know that regular attacks could not bring down the Feather Wind castle.

“Swish, swish~”

Soon, Lu Li understood Zi Ji’s intention and was marveled at the truncheon. Those water columns reached the Feather Wind. Under the impact, the water columns dispersed into a mist which snuck into the Feather Wind castle easily, just like gentle breezes.

“Gather up!”

Then, Zi Ji waved her white truncheon. The mist gathered, and formed dragons of water, smashing around in the Feather Wind castle and bringing down many walls. The dragons of water charged toward Lu Li.

“Good, she is able!”

Lu Li nodded. Not even a regular Semi-God Realm warrior could crack his Feather Wind castle and yet Zi Ji did it. Her control of water was superb.

Looking at the water dragons pressing down on him, Lu Li was not scared. He gathered many Feather Wind weapons and let them attack at the dragons of water.

“Bang!”

Both dragons of water and the Feather Wind weapons fell apart. Zi Ji waved her truncheon and those blasted water columns became one piece again, dashing toward Lu Li.

“Hmm, Feather Wind weapons, go!”

Lu Li stood with pride. He waved his hand and over a thousand Feather Wind weapons came into being.

Zi Ji’s control of water was an excellent mastery, and she could gather countless dragons of water. Similarly... Lu Li’s mastery of wind was superb and he could build many dragons of wind.

His work with the Feather Wind leveraged energy of Heaven and Earth and not his own. As long as there was wind in the space, he could come up with endless Feather Wind without consuming too much of his energy and strength.

He had to admit that Zi Ji’s move was impressive. She could rely on the countless dragons of water. Anyone would be struggling and tortured to death.

But if that was all Zi Ji got, then Lu Li would not face any pressure.

Lu Li could tell that Zi Ji had other plans. He wanted to see what else Zi Ji could utilize before he resorted to his most powerful means.
