Chapter 294: Skillful
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The coffin and the young man were found!
The information soon spread. Many deacons, patriarchs, and powerful warriors were here, and even the Chief Patriarch of the Du Famition came along at once. Yu Huashen, Ming Yu, and Du Ran rushed their way over and came in person.
The signal detonator caught many people’s attention. At least tens of thousands of warriors swarmed over. Du Family had offered a high reward. Anyone that could save this young man would be rewarded 100 million Xuan Crystals.
The Du Family didn’t reveal Lu Li’s identity, though. Du Family just mentioned that he was a guest per Lu Li’s request of maintaining his identity a secret.
From where Lu Li was going with the coffin came many warriors. Lu Li kept going with his eyes still red. The cold-iron chains behind him glared in green light and some green energy was still going into his body.
"Roar, roar, roar~"
Lu Li would let out beast-like howls every now and again. Little White, still entangled by the black vines, screamed as well. It looked at Lu Li with worry. It could feel that this Lu Li was not its original owner.
As a matter of fact, it was not Lu Li’s intention of carrying the coffin. He had lost control of his body which was taken over by the demon completely.
The Coffin of the Dragon King was being spotted. The demon knew that many powerful warriors would come soon to stop it. Therefore, the demon had to run. As for… why the demon didn’t fly the coffin away but instead had Lu Li carry the coffin, was unknown.
That being said…
Some deduction could be made from Lu Li’s speed.
He was not running at his own speed, but dozens and even hundred times faster. His speed was beyond imagination indeed. He was now as fast a warrior at the later stage of the Eternal Realm on his Fate Wheel.
Normally speaking, this was impossible.
A warrior could not reach such a speed based only on physical body and Xuan Energy. Only powerful warriors higher than the Noble Lord Realm with profound Xuan Energy and well-trained body could achieve this.
Lu Li was only at the Soul Pond Realm. Even though his body could be stronger when he released Burning Blood Skill, but his Xuan Energy was not nearly profound enough.
At the very least, even if he had enough Xuan Energy and used special Xuan Skill or even… Profound Meaning, he could not do this.
The reason was the green glow in him and the strange steps.
His body was full of the green energy. In every piece of his muscles and bones, and in every drip of his blood, this green energy existed. Also, his steps were mysterious as well. With one step, he could cover hundreds of feet. When he stepped forward, there seemed to be some ripple in the space in front of him and he could pass through the space directly.
It might be a secret skill of Profound Meaning. But one thing was sure—this was not Lu Li’s ability. He had lost control of his own body, and this was clearly the demon’s doing.
In one second, Lu Li was hundreds of yards away, in another, he had passed by the warriors coming at him.
Also, Lu L’s hair was messy and his cloths were shabby. Green glow covered him, but his eyes were red. He was surrounded by killing intent. On his back was a golden coffin which was floating in midair. It was a terrifying picture. It was like a ghost from hell had come out with coffin to seek revenge!
"Bang!"
The warriors were so afraid that they were slow in reacting. Lu Li suddenly swung the cold-iron chains and smashed the golden coffin in front of him which sent several warriors into flying. Then Lu Li stepped forward. For the next second, he vanished on the spot and re-appeared in a place hundreds of yards up front.
Weird, evil, creepy!
Many low level warriors were trembling in fear and they were so astonished. They looked at each other, none of them daring to chase the coffin. What was more…could they even catch up at their speed?
"Bang, bang, bang~"
Along the way, there were always warriors trying to stop the coffin. Every time Lu Li swung the coffin, many warriors would be smashed away. The coffins seemed to have some magic power. Every warrior hit on felt like they were hit by a giant rock. They would be sent into flying, spilling out blood. Nobody could best the coffin.
The demon didn’t put on a killing spree. Every time the demon controlled Lu Li to smash away the warriors, it would run. Every place Lu Li was at, there were wounded warriors.
"Roar, howl, howl~"
Lu Li himself would raise his head and shout like a beast from time to time. His shouts seemed louder and stranger against the backdrop of the dark night.
Finally, some powerful warriors came. Four warriors of the Eternal Realm were teleported from nearby cities. They flew on their Fate Wheel towards Lu Li and they happen to see him smash away several scouts of the Du Family.
The four warriors became angry. How dare Lu Li attack warriors of the Du Family?
The four didn’t know Lu Li’s identity except that he was a valued guest for the Family Patriarch of the Du Family. The host would, of course, not be happy about guest hurting warriors of their own.
"No…the dude’s eyes are red and he is not sober. I think he has lost his mind." One of them realized what was going on. He thought about it and said, "Let us attack the coffin and trap that young man. Don’t hurt him."
"Whoosh~"
Just as he finished his sentence, suddenly, shadows of Lu Li appeared. More than a dozen Lu Li appeared along with more than a dozen coffins.
Then… Lu Li stepped forward and the shadows of Lu Li started running to all directions with the same coffin shadows.
More importantly—
All the shadows of Lu Li were identical and all the coffins appeared to be genuine. The four warriors of the Eternal Realm tried to probe with their psychic power but they could not tell the real from the shadows…
Skillful!
The four warriors of the Eternal Realm and the others were stunned. This had past the scope of a mere secret skill. This must be some kind of Profound Meaning, a powerful one no less.
However… Lu Li was only at the Soul Pond Realm and he was still in his youth. How could he understand Profound Meaning?
The most talented freak in the history of the Central Plains was a warrior that perceived Profound Meaning at the age of 21. But by then, he had reached the Eternal Realm.
Any warrior that could perceive Profound Meaning must be of at least the Eternal Realm. There was nobody below the Eternal Realm that could achieve this in all of history.
Soul Pond Realm was about the cultivation of soul and the Fate Wheel Realm was about changing fate. Only after the soul was strengthened and life prolonged could a warrior have a chance to learn about the origin in heaven and earth and thereby an opportunity to perceive Profound Meaning…
They didn’t know that there was a demon inside Lu Li, and that he was controlled by the it. They all thought that these were Lu Li’s means. Hence, they were dumbfounded.
The more than a dozen shadows were produced in a similar way to Lu Li’s Apparition Skill. The difference was that these shadows could avoid being seen through even by Eternal Realm warriors’ psychic power. The demon must have enhanced the Apparition Skill and made it more powerful!
The demon being able to dug out and steal the Apparition Skill from Lu Li’s soul was an indirect indication—Lu Li’s soul had fallen and it might be possessed by the demon completely soon.
