There were about 16 feet between Lu Li and Uncle Scar. Lu Li first threw his bundle out then released the arrow. If Uncle Scar happened to be shot at, then it would be perfect.
However, Lu Li still underestimated the speed of reaction of a warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm. Uncle Scar realized what was happening the moment Lu Li moved. Uncle Scar could tell something was wrong especially from Lu Li’s arrow shooting action. Instantly, Uncle Scar dodged to the left.
Lu Li could not get to Uncle Scar whether using his bundle or the arrow. He was originally holding his sword vertically, and now he had to twist it and sweep horizontally towards Uncle Scar.
"Clank, clank~"
Uncle Scar hauled out his long sword and swept horizontally at Lu Li as well. However, the former had an advantageous angle. He managed to cut at the creak on Lu Li’s sword. A dull sound came, and sparkles spread out. Lu Li sensed a huge strain of strength, so powerful that his right hand felt numb. Blood and qi boiled and tumbled in his chest. He was forced to fall back.
"Kiddo, you are asking for death yourself."
Uncle Scar was enraged. He ran towards Lu Li like a huge beast. His long sword morphed into countless sword shadows. It was so fast that Lu Li could not see it clearly. All Lu Li could see were some points and dots that were gradually covering him up. Nobody knew which dot of them was the real sword. It was like there was no way for Lu Li to escape whichever direction he tried.
Lu Li had to continuously step back, but how could he be faster compared with Uncle Scar? Seeing that he was about to get hit, Lu Li made up his mind. He tightly held the Heaven Kylin Sword with both of his hands and wielded the sword to chop at Uncle Scar’s head with his supernatural strength, without considering his opponent’s sword anymore.
Trading one life with another!
Lu Li had adopted the most violent form of moves. He was fast and the two of them were close. Even if Uncle Scar was going to stab him to death, Lu Li was sure that he could get Uncle Scar as well, at least hurt him severely.
But that was just Lu Li’s wishful think…
One realm higher would mean a world of pain. Against warriors of the Xuan Wu Realm, warriors at the Spirit Sea Ream had absolute advantage. Besides, Uncle Scar had been in fights for more than 20 year as a living. What could he possibly not see before?
"Clank, clank~"
Uncle Scar swung his sword and cut another opening on the Heaven Kylin Sword. Sparkles came out. Then he turned around and cut toward Lu Li’s right hand, taking advantage of this opportunity.
The Xuan Artifact he was holding was clearly advanced. It would be one of at least the Eighth or Ninth Rank of the Human Grade, if not Earth Grade. Once cut, Lu Li would lose his hand.
Lu Li was surprised. His speed and reaction were much weaker compared with Uncle Scar. If thing went on like this, he could be easily killed by Uncle Scar.
At that moment of life and death, Lu Li dared not to retain his true power anymore. He shouted, "Boiling Blood!"
That was right!
He used his Bloodline Skill. If he did not use it now, he probably would not have any future chance to use it.
"Om!"
His back lit up and the silver dragon pattern glowed. The muscle all over his body swelled up, and a surge of strong power went into his muscles. His pupils turned silver, and he felt his blood boiling. His strength seemed inexhaustible, and his qi and energy just became shockingly furious and formidable.
"What?"
Uncle Scar was astounded. He could sense the qi and energy from Lu Li became horrifying. It seemed that the qi and energy of Lu Li was more powerful than his.
Previously, to him, Lu Li was just a puny insect, but now, that puny insect had become a lion, how could he not be alarmed?
There were only three ways for a warrior to elevate their fighting capacity within a short period of time. First, to consume extraordinary pellets, second, mobilize some powerful secret skill, and third, by releasing a Bloodline Skill.
Clearly, Lu Li didn’t take and pellets, nor did he possess any powerful secret skill. He could not have that, not even the Liu Family could have it. The only explanation, thereby, was that he released Bloodline Skill.
Naturally, Uncle Scar looked towards Lu Li’s neck, but he became more confused. There was no Bloodline mark on Lu Li’s neck!
"Hoy!"
Uncle Scar hesitated a bit, but not Lu Li. He swept Uncle Scar’s sword away and cut for several times in a row at Uncle Scar’s neck with his Heaven Kylin Sword.
Uncle Scar came to his senses. Soon, he drove all his doubts out of his mind and focused on the fight. He used his sword in an attempt to defend and retreat at the same time.
But that was where everything went wrong, with that blocking action…
What did it mean?
The physical strength of Lu Li now had reached more than 33,000 pounds, and three times of that was close to a 100,000 pounds of strength. And, the strength of a warrior at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm was only of that amount!
If the move just made was just like a strong guy holding a stick for Lu Li, but to Uncle Scar, it was like a gigantic dragon swinging its tail.
"Boom!"
The sword in Uncle Scar’s hand was knocked away at once. Lu Li took the opportunity and aimed at Uncle Scar’s head, trying to halve it.
Uncle Scar was a warrior worthy of surviving hundreds of battles. At that moment of vital importance, he forced his body to turn to the right rear and rolled on the ground on the spot. He barely escaped Lu Li’s fatal move.
"He can react so fast."
Yet again, Lu Li was awed by the power of the Spirit Sea Realm. He dared not to rest. He kicked backwards and jumped up like a ferocious beast, continued his move and cut at Uncle Scar.
His Bloodline Skill could only last for 15 minutes. He must kill Uncle Scar within that time, or else he would be the one dead.
"How can he become so strong all of the sudden?"
Uncle Scar was frightened. The hand that originally held the sword was hurting from the force. Now, he had to roll around with embarrassment since Lu Li kept attacking. Without his weapon, he could not release his Xuan Skills even if he had them. It was not like he could fight against the Heaven Kylin Sword with his fist.
"Ah…"
Lu Li was too fast. It was dim as well so Uncle Scar could not see clearly. Uncle Scar got his thigh cut by Lu Li. A piece of flesh was gone, and his bones were revealed.
It was so hurtful that he turned over and over on the ground, trying to get away from Lu Li’s attack. When he got up, he turned around and ran off immediately without any hesitation.
"Not good!"
Lu Li was agitated. His strength had increased by three times, but not his speed. If Uncle Scar got away and he passed out because of weakness, the ending would be unbearable to contemplate.
Right then, a small Xuan Beast sneaked out of a ditch from the front-left. Little White was in the bundle. When Lu Li threw his bundle, Little White was thrown away as well. It just happened to crawl out now.
Lu Li thought of something and the terrifying speed of Little White came to his mind. He stared at Uncle Scar’s bleeding thigh and shouted in a deep voice, "Little White, go and bite his thigh!"
As long as Little White could earn him some time, Lu Li could catch up with Uncle Scar and finish him. On hearing Lu Li’s order, Little White rushed toward Uncle Scar in a white blur without even a second of pause.
But!
What happened next made Lu Li tremble, he stood where he was, and fear filled his eyes…
Little White seemed to shift into a white light and it caught up with Uncle Scar soon. It opened its small mouth and began chewing Uncle Scar’s leg. In a split second, the flesh on Uncle Scar’s right leg was gone, only bones were left.
"Ah—"
Uncle Scar cried out in grief. He tried to grab Little White with one hand, but Little White moved and began chewing Uncle Scar’s other leg. Immediately, that leg only had bones left as well…
"What, what, what!"
Lu Li was somehow overwhelmed. How could such a powerful warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm be injured so seriously by Little White? It was appalling that two legs turned into bones in just a second.
That being said, Lu Li then remembered Little White could chew the Heaven Kylin Sword, so could there be anything else that it could not bite? It was actually normal that it could easily bite Uncle Scar’s legs off.
"Swish!"
Soon, Lu Li regained his senses and he quickly moved forward. Lu Li swung his Heaven Kylin Sword high and cut Uncle Scar’s head off.
Uncle Scar of the Spirit Sea Realm, died!
