Chapter 146: Hand of God
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Hunchback Tian was besieged by the four young women, but he was not at a disadvantage. The four young women were only at the initial stage of the Soul Pond Realm, but Hunchback Tian was at the peak.
However, he could not gain the upper hand either. The four young women were so fast that Lu Li could only tell that they were females and that they were young. He could not see their faces distinctly.
The four young women were like blurs and shadows, roaming around Hunchback Tian and attacking him. Granted, they were merely at the initial stage of the Soul Pond Realm, yet they were faster than Hunchback Tian. The cooperation between the four were good. Their attack mode was similar to that of the Green Dwarfs’, relying on their horrible speed and the hooks in their hands to conduct secret attacks. Once they hit their target, they would leave at once.
Every one of them had two sharp black hooks in their hands, and cold glare was bouncing off from them. If one was hit by the hook, a chunk of flesh would be cut off.
Hunchback Tian had the long narrow golden saber in his hands. He waved his saber around and attempted to hit the young women when he released his Xuan Energy externally. Too bad the young women’s perception were even more terrifying than their speed, and their movements were strange as well. They would change their courses quite often so that Hunchback Tian could not keep his eyes on them.
Based on the current situation, Hunchback Tian could not do anything to them. Neither could he get out. The four women could not kill Hunchback Tian at the moment, so they had to circle around him and attack.
Lu Li took several glances. Then he had his eyes locked on the girl at the peak of the hill. Even though that girl was also wearing a coarse sack cloth same as the four young women, but she had a gem necklace on and bracelets around her wrists. Her temperament was arrogant. Obviously, she enjoyed a high status.
Lu Li quickly thought, and he made up his mind in the time for just a few breaths. He decided to do something to help Hunchback Tian; he knew that as soon as Hunchback Tian died, he could not keep his life either.
There were two ways to help Hunchback Tian. Either he attack the four young women, or he could take down the girl at the peak of the hill.
Lu Li had chosen the latter!
Girls were easier to be dealt with after all. Lu Li wasn’t planning on killing the girl. Instead, he just wanted her as his hostage so he could threaten the four young women.
"Get the girl!"
Lu Li ordered the three Green Dwarfs at his back. He himself grabbed his Mighty Heaven Halberd and rushed forward like a leopard.
"Such a puny insect and you want to shake the world?"
Seeing three Green Dwarfs and Lu Li coming at her, the young girl was not terrified at all. Instead, she mockingly spoke.
The four young women fighting against Hunchback Tian looked towards her but paid no attention. They continued to engage in the battle against Hunchback Tian.
"Swish~"
The three Green Dwarfs rushed to the peak like wind. A pair of golden hooks emerged in the girl’s hands as her body glowed in green light. She took the initiative and flew over like a breeze.
"Hiss~"
When she approached the first Green Dwarf, surprisingly, the necklace and bracelets lit up, and her speed drastically increased. She flew past a Green Dwarf, her hook slashing its abdomen. The Green Dwarf screamed in pain as a deep blood mark showed up on its abdomen.
"Um!"
Lu Li was stunned. The speed of the girl was even faster than the four young women, and the hooks she used were also different. The girl’s were golden in color with glows coming from them; the hooks could certainly compare with powerful Xuan Artifacts.
"Swish~"
Lu Li paused in shock but not the girl. She rushed about like wind, and every time she passed a Green Dwarf, she would leave cuts on them.
The Green Dwarfs were good in their defense. When under attack, scale shells would appear. However, when faced with the girls’ hooks, the scale shells were no different from tofu. Blood marks would be left easily, and green blood spilled everywhere. In just the time for a few breaths, the three Green Dwarfs were all scratched up with blood coming out of their wounds…
"Hoy!"
If the girl were to continue her attack like this, all the three Green Dwarfs would be tortured to death. Lu Li had to resolve the matter himself. He mobilized his Xuan Energy and swung his Mighty Heaven Halberd to sweep at the girl.
"Whoosh~"
When the Mighty Heaven Halberd was sweeping over, the girl suddenly got to the ground and happened to dodge it. She rushed towards Lu Li like the wind and slashed at his abdomen with her hooks when she passed him.
"Click, click!"
Lu Li was wearing Earth-grade armor. Sparkles were produced due to the collision. When he looked down, his eyes were filled with shock after discovering that his armor was cracked. The Earth Grade armor was actually broken so easily.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li swung his Mighty Heaven Halberd in a backhand motion but he could not hit the girl. He clearly saw the girl passing right next to him, yet when he swung his weapon, all he could hit was a shadow…
When he turned around trying to look for the girl, he felt the sound of a breeze coming from behind him, as if cold air was blowing over his neck. Without wasting time to think, he waved his halberd towards his back and rolled forward on the ground.
"Clank, clank~"
His movement was fast. Sparkles lit up at the back of his armor, and a long narrow crack showed up there.
This was nothing. As Lu Li rolled on the ground, he had another ghastly feeling coming from behind him. He had to roll forward desperately. Sparkles were constantly coming out at his back. He was under continuous attack for seven or eight times…
Luckily, the Green Dwarfs came to his aide, helping him withstand a round of attacks. Lu Li stood up in a panic. He found his armor had cracks all around, like a piece of worn clothing, reduced to a rag. He had scratches in many places on his body, and blood were coming out non-stop. Fortunately, his armor reduced the power of the attacks, so his wounds were not deep.
His armor was torn and tattered, and it affected his movements. As such, Lu Li just took off his armor.
Because his clothes were torn as well, more than half of the unusual dragon pattern on his back was revealed, and so did the animal tooth pendant on his neck.
However, he had no change of clothes, not to mention he was in a life-or-death situation. While biting his teeth, he shouted, "Burning Blood!"
His muscles swelled up in a speed visible to the naked eyes. His pupils turned silver as the dragon pattern on his back glistened in silver light. He grabbed a healing pellet and swallowed it, and in turn, the animal tooth pendant on his neck started glowing slowly.
This was the critical moment. He had no other choice but to put all his cards on the table. If he dared to reserve any more strength, maybe he would be cut open by the little girl the next second.
"Wah, wah~"
In his front, a Green Dwarf was scratched on its neck by the hook. After it screamed, it fell to the ground and started twitching as blood came out of its mouth like a fountain. Evidently, it was not going to live.
"Kill!"
Lu Li hesitated no more and had no more concern. The girl was too powerful. He mustn’t treat her like a little girl, but an enemy so he could be merciless. If he could not kill the girl, it would be him that was going to die.
While the girl was roaming around and fighting against another two Green Dwarfs, Lu Li rushed over. No emotion could be seen in his silver pupils, as if he was like a ruthless human-shaped Xuan Beast.
"Boom~"
The girl moved to the side and cut a deep wound on another Green Dwarf’s neck. Lu Li was already close to her but she didn’t care. For her, Lu Li was too weak…
"Swish~"
Lu Li had been holding back his speed. When he was close enough to the girl, he suddenly sped up. The Mighty Heaven Halberd cut at the girl’s body like a shadow.
The girl was about to kill the remaining Green Dwarf when she sense something was off. She looked back and saw Lu Li’s silver eyes and his Mighty Heaven Halberd coming as fast as lighting. Terror arose in her eyes as she loudly screamed, "Dummy, save me!"
"Bang!"
A small hill suddenly exploded, causing dirt and rocks to fly around. A huge hand reached out from inside the small hill, with fingers as thick as Lu Li’s hand.
The huge hand was like a hand of a god. It broke through the soil and grabbed Lu Li’s Mighty Heaven Halberd. Then, the hand suddenly put forth its strength, and the Earth Grade Xuan Artifact, the Mighty Heaven Halberd, was directly smashed into pieces!
