Chapter 242: Profound Meaning
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The Xu Family did get some news about the fight at Wu Ling County when Lu Li went back. That being said, the Yu Family and the Bai Family deliberately covered up some information so what the Xu Family acquired was not the whole picture.
Truth being told, many found it ridiculous that Lu Li could kill Yu Yang with one move. If in this world, a warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm really could kill a warrior at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm, then the entire cultivation system of the world would have to be redefined.
Many people believed that Yu Yang's Fate Wheel was not cracked by Lu Li according to that day's situation. Somebody else had secretly attacked the Fate Wheel which led to Yu Yang fainting. Lu Li was only killing a wounded tiger.
Some of the Xu Family even had the suspicion that it was some warrior of the Eternal Realm of the Bai Family that broke Yu Yang's Fate Wheel and the Bai Family was just in denial. Lu Li was hunted down and fled into the Thousand-island Lake like a homeless dog only a year ago, so how could he know any powerful warrior of the Eternal Realm?
The only one that he might know was Ming Yu who never showed up at the Blood Evil Island for the second time. Later, the Bai Family sent someone to look around and found out that Ming Yu had always been at the Thousand-island Lake. When Lu Li was fighting at the Wu Ling County, Ming Yu was bidding for several sorts of Mystical Materials at the auction house. Many people even saw him.
Therefore, Xu Yaoyang was not afraid. He had the Xu Family supporting him, and the Xu Family received orders from Madam Yan, representing the Bai Family. At the Thousand-island Lake, the Bai Family was the supreme lord. First of all, Lu Li didn't have the power to kill Xu Yaoyang. Even if he did, he wouldn't have the guts.
Xu Sihe could not drag Xu Yaoyang away since the latter didn't want to leave. Xu Sihe thought for a while and put his mind at ease as he believed that White Beard was very powerful so there was no way that Lu Li could kill him.
...
"Island Owner, Island Owner~"
While rushing on across the Blood Evil Island, Hunchback Tian was shouting. White Beard was in hot pursuit.
White Beard had the chance to land some attacks on Hunchback Tian but he had chosen not to. He wanted to kill Hunchback Tian in front of Lu Li, to make the latter desperate and to take him down more easily.
Hunchback Tian was very fast. In the time for more than a dozen breaths, he had crossed a land of more than 10 miles. When he saw Lu Li rushing towards him from afar, Hunchback Tian shouted again, "Island Owner!"
Lu Li looked to Hunchback Tian who was in midair. Lu Li felt guilty and lucky at the same time when he saw how miserable Hunchback Tian was. It was lucky that he woke up in time, otherwise, he would have to witness the death of every warrior of the Blood Evil Island if he came to his senses any later.
"Hoy~"
His heart was burning with rage. Lu Li kicked back and flew up. Hunchback Tian knew how to cooperate with him. He controlled the Fate Wheel to fly down to get Lu Li.
Hunchback Tian felt reassured with Lu Li here. Instead of running away, he turned back and waited for White Beard to get closer.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Before White Beard got any closer, he laughed out. He looked at Lu Li and asked, "You are Lu Li? Do you want to submit yourself or do you want me to crack all your bones and take you back?"
Lu Li took a closer look at White Beard and coldly said, "You? You are not qualified yet!"
White Beard had a two-layered Fate Wheel, so he was at the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. Lu Li once killed a warrior at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm with a three-layered Fate Wheel. He really did not think White Beard was powerful enough.
"Conceited!"
White Beard kept his eyes full of killing intent wide open and sneered, "I can kill more than hundreds of arrogant and ignorant bastards like you in one day. I will show you what a real powerful warrior is like today!"
"Master, be careful!"
Hunchback Tian took a healing pellet and said in a low voice, "This lake bandits understands a scratch of Profound Meaning and integrated it into his Fate Wheel. He is very terrifying."
"Profound Meaning?"
Lu Li didn't have a clear grasp on it. He had heard about it but never looked into it. Hunchback Tian offered a quick explanation, "Profound Meaning is the truth you can perceive from heaven and earth. Last time at the Cliff of Purgatory, didn't you see a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm that understood Force? Force is actually a low-level Profound Meaning. Profound Meaning is the most powerful means for a warrior as it can move mountains and fill seas, destroying heaven and earth alike."
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Li put on a solemn expression. He had witnessed with his own eyes the terror of "Force". If that was a low level Profound Meaning, then how powerful a high level Profound Meaning would be? Even though it was only a scratch of Profound Meaning that White Beard perceived, he was not to be taken lightly.
"Whoosh~"
White Beard flew over and his Fate Wheel span quickly. With the spinning Fate Wheel, White Beard flew up from midair, which seemed very peculiar.
"Hiss, hiss~"
Accompanying the spinning of the Fate Wheel, the wind and clouds in this area started to change as well. It was getting darker and darker. Soon, an area with a radius of a couple of miles was devoured by darkness.
"This is only a scratch of the Profound Meaning?"
Lu Li was terrified. To avert day and night? This was an astonishing means but it could only count as smattering of the Profound Meaning? Then how stunning the real Profound Meaning would be? Lu Li became more disturbed when he recalled the powerful warrior at the Cliff of Purgatory that understood "Force" which was a low level one.
The day was getting darker in a speed visible to the naked eye. Lu Li could only see things six or seven feet ahead of him. He couldn't see White Beard clearly now. His eyesight was enhanced after he reached the Soul Pond Realm, otherwise, he would have lost his sight a while ago.
"Close your eyes and listen to the wind blowing!"
Hunchback Tian whispered to Lu Li. He quickly closed his eyes while Hunchback Tian controlled the Fate Wheel to move around to avoid becoming an easy target for White Beard.
"Hiss—"
With a piercing sound, a huge golden satin cloth meandered over through the darkness from afar. It was so fast that it reached Lu Li and Hunchback Tian in no time.
Hunchback Tian reacted quickly. He controlled the Fate Wheel to glide over, narrowly dodging the attack. Lu Li said in a low voice, "Get closer to him!"
Hunchback Tian understood. The Fate Wheel circled around while Hunchback Tian released his Xuan Energy. The distance between the two sides was getting shorter.
Little White could break a Fate Wheel, but it needed to do it at close distance and secretly. Otherwise, if White Beard noticed it, Little White would be killed before it could reach the Fate Wheel.
Darkness continued to fall. It was so dark that they couldn't see their hand in front of their face. Granted, it was just some superficial knowledge that White Beard mastered, it was already horrifying. Hunchback Tian and Lu Li could see nothing, but White Beard was not impacted in the least. Therefore, White Beard's fighting ability in this context was greatly elevated.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
White Beard dodged all the externally released Xuan Energy which hit the mountains. Sounds of explosion resounded through the area. Small mountains were cut open, stones rolled around, trees were cut into two, and the entire place was in a mess.
White Beard kept releasing his Xuan Energy as well as his golden satin cloth. Hunchback Tian and Lu Li were getting impatient. As long as White Beard was still on that Fate Wheel, Little White could not initiate the secret attack.
"Get down, and you hit him with your Fate Wheel!"
Lu Li thought about it and believed that they had to take the riskier means. Hunchback Tian nodded and they dismounted the Fate Wheel. Hunchback Tian sped up the Fate Wheel and flew it towards the direction he thought White Beard should be at.
"Hmm!"
White Beard had two Fate Wheels which combined together to form a more powerful two-layered Fate Wheel. Why should he have any fear as it was Hunchback Tian who was courting death?
At once, White Beard flew down and controlled his Fate Wheel to hit against Hunchback Tian's. He believed that in 10 moves at most, Hunchback Tian would pass out due to bad injury on his mind and body.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
From above came two loud sounds. Even though Lu Li could not see it, he could tell it from the wind. He ran on the ground, then flew up, letting out a roar in midair!
"Roar~"
Lu Li released his Dragon Roar Skill. Instantly, a fierce gale sprang up, and the space trembled and rippled. The darkness covering the area was torn apart right at this moment. With the dim light from the sky coming through, Lu Li could faintly see two Fate Wheels.
"Little White!"
How could Lu Li let go such a good opportunity? He waved his hand and Little White flew out like a sharp sword. Lu Li was falling. In midair, he produced many shadows and he started glancing down.
"Eh?"
What surprised him was Hunchback Tian was stunned by the roar, and so was White Beard judging by his expressions. They had stopped their fight.
"Die—"
Lu Li concentrated on White Beard. Little White's claws had grabbed his Fate Wheel and it was eating the Fate Wheel. As far as Lu Li was concerned, White Beard was practically a dead person.
