Chapter 77: Lu Li in Battle

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The Guest Clan was not far away from the west gate. With dozens of small yards inside, the Guest Clan was quite spacious. There were no women or children inside though. Cheng Qu’s wife, along with the children and family members of other Guest Warriors, was relocated a long time ago.

A couple of days ago, Cheng Qu asked if Lu Ling wanted to leave the County with them but Lu Ling declined. She knew clearly that Cheng Qu’s wife and the others could leave, but she could not leave the Liu Family. Otherwise, Di Ba would try to get her as soon as possible.

Teams after teams of warriors jumped onto the roofs of the Guest Clan houses. However, as soon as they landed on the roof, they noticed that there seemed to be fire burning in some rooms. Because of the rain, the combustion was not complete, so the dark smoke billowed.

“What is it?”

Liu Yi frowned and glanced over to Lu Li’s yard. All she could see was a lady with a thin veil over her face, standing at the door with her walking stick, looking towards the people calmly.

“Lu Ling?”

Liu Yi was once again astonished. Lu Ling being here should be a sign that Lu Li had not escaped yet. Then why did he not come out?

“Uncle Cheng, come here please!” Lu Ling shouted to Cheng Qu who looked over to her and nodded. Then he rushed to Lu Ling’s room like a shadow.

Warriors of the Liu Family swarmed their way here and entered Liu Family’s Guest Clan. On their back were Zhao Rui, Di Ba and their warriors. This time, Liu Yi did not ask them to retreat. The bloody war was on again.

Soon, Cheng Qu rushed out of the room and handed a cheap-looking pellet to Liu Yi secretly and whispered to her in her ears, “It is the Purple Erosion Grass that is burning in those rooms. This is the antidote. Take it quietly. ”

Then Cheng Qu rushed towards other warriors of the Liu Family that were at the Spirit Sea Realm and handed them pellets as well. He asked them to take those without giving the warriors any explanation.

The warriors of the four Families felt that something was up. Di Ba glanced over and he suddenly remembered something. Di Ba shouted, “Purple Erosion Grass is burning in those rooms. Leave.”

Lu Ling once did this back at the Di Long Tribe. Di Ba had heard about it. Now that he saw Cheng Qu distribution pellets to Spirit Sea Realm warriors of the Liu Family, he naturally understood what was going on.

“Stop them!”

Liu Yi yelled. A powerful energy and qi surged from her body. She had made moves in person. The other warriors nearby looked at her and were totally surprised. When did Liu Yi break through to the Spirit Sea Realm?

This time, Liu Yi used the whip she used to carry around. The whip entangled the leg of a Spirit Sea Realm warrior of the Lu Family [1].

Cheng Qu himself was a powerful warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm. He lead people and charged forward like a tiger. They used all their efforts to stop the warriors of the other four families to stop them from having the chance to leave the Guest Clan.

“Such a shame…”

Lu Ling looked at the scene through the window, sighing. The storm today made the speed of smoke spread slower. On top of that, Di Ba had seen through her plan very fast. Maybe the Purple Erosion Grass could have some use, but not much.

“Get inside and put the fire out!”

Noticing that many were boxed up, Zhao Rui immediately gave out orders and sent someone to those rooms to put the fire out. The rain was heavy tonight. It should be easy to put out fire. As long as the fire was extinguished, the Purple Erosion Grass would be useless.

More than a dozen Xuan Wu Realm warriors covered their noses and rushed to the rooms right away. They planned to get all the Purple Erosion Grass out and let the rain drench them.

“Ah…”

These men started giving out sad, shrill cries as soon as they got in. Instantly, several men backed out and rolled over on the ground. On the first look, Zhao Rui and the others were gasping with astonishment.

The armors worn by these men rolling on the ground were corroded piece by piece. Areas of skin and flesh were emitting fumes. Clearly, they were poisoned by some potent toxic.

“What…”

Liu Yi and her warriors were also shocked. The toxic was so corrosive. Everyone was wearing battle armors, but those were showing holes because of the erosion.

Many men’s faces were eroded. It was a dreadful sight.

“Who did this?”

Liu Yi looked toward Cheng Qu who was confused. The rest of the Guest Warriors were also befuddled.

“Can it be Lu Li’s sister?”

Liu Yi remembered that when she looked towards Lu Ling, the latter had gem-like eyes which showed calmness. The idea came to Liu Yi’s mind.

“It should be her!”

Then Liu Yi thought about the words Lu Ling had that Guest Warrior passed to her. Liu Yi had high opinions of Lu Ling now.

It was nothing to burn the Purple Erosion Grass, but the lame girl was really something since she could think ahead that Zhao Rui’s warriors would go into the room and she had preparations made to meet contingencies. Also, she could get her hands on such corrosive toxics.

“Smash the house from the outside!”

Zhao Rui shouted again. When the house collapsed, the rain would naturally seep into it but people inside would be buried alive. Yet with so many people trapped here, Zhao Rui had to go along with it.

“Hoy!”

Several Xuan Wu Realm warriors made their moves. They forcefully kicked the house and it came tumbling down. People inside were buried alive. With the heavy rain seeping its way into the house, the smoke died down a lot.

“Stop retreating and advance!”

Zhao Rui roared. Once again, murderous intent became strong for the warriors of the four Families. They didn’t inhale too much smoke of the Purple Erosion Grass so their Xuan Energy was not messed up. The big picture remained stable.

“Pitiful.”

Lu Ling sighed and walked into a room. She picked up a wooden dipper and poured water onto Lu Li’s face. Lu Li, who was deeply asleep, immediately came to his senses. He suddenly sat up and his expressions became a bit gentler only when he saw Lu Ling.

“Sis, what are you doing…”

Lu Li wiped his face. He was startled when he heard the fighting noise outside so he asked, “What is going on?”

“Not much.” Lu Ling smiled gently and answered, “The four Families have started their attacks. Di Ba and Zhao Rui have fought their way to the Guest Clan already. Go out now and kill everyone apart from Zhao Rui.”

“They are here?”

Lu Li sprang to his feet. He observed through the window. It was dark outside, but warriors all released their Xuan Energy so Lu Li could see something.

“Di Ba, Zhao Rui, altogether there are six warriors at the Spirit Sea Realm. Five of them are at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, and only one old guy is at the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm?”

After some observation, Lu Li had a clear grasp of the situation outside. There were only five warriors at the Spirit Sea Realm of the Liu Family, including Liu Yi who had just broken through. The other four Families also had more warriors. The two sides were mismatched.

“Very well!”

Lu Li now was completely awake. He did not make any rash moves though. First, he sat down with his legs crossed to inspect his body. After making sure that nothing was wrong and that he had ample Xuan Energy and more than a dozen strands of Xuan Power left inside his Spirit Sea, he stood up.

“Sis, I will go out now!” Carrying the Heaven Kylin Sword in his hands, Lu Li looked over to Lu Ling who said, “Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

Lu Li nodded and walked outside in strides. Seeing that Lu Li was about to leave, Little White, which was in the corner, rushed over to him with a swoosh sound and sneaked into his robes.

Little White had sharp teeth. When Lu Li wanted to sneak up on someone, Little White could be of great help. So he just let it be. It was small anyways. There wasn’t much trouble hiding it in his robes.

Lu Li pushed the door open and walked out. He stepped into the puddles of water on the ground and ran towards the battlefield like a sly fox.

The night was dim. Lu Li did not mobilize his Xuan Energy so people at a distance could not see him clearly. All they knew was that Liu Family had another man fighting for them.

“Lu Li!”

Liu Yi glanced over and her pretty eyes lit up. Finally, Lu Li had come out to fight. She had no idea whether the Liu Family was going to win or not, but she was certain that the west gate was going to be okay.

The young man had risen so fast. Several months ago, he was pulling coffins for the Liu Family. He was just a punk that could not cultivate Xuan Energy.

But recently, he killed three warriors at the Spirit Sea Realm of the Zhao Family. Liu Yi was convinced that Lu Li would not let her down this time.
