Little White was not Lu Li's spirit beast because they weren't bonded or linked spiritually. But Little White and Lu Li enjoyed a close relationship. Little White was more intimate with Lu Li than any spirit beast could ever be.
Little White was intelligent and it could understand human language. It must as clever as a Beast King. Little White had felt Patriarch Yang's killing intent and understood the situation Lu Li was in. When Patriarch Yang was about to kill Lu Li, Little White rushed out to protect him as soon as it could move again.
Patriarch Yang had underestimated how sharp Little White's teeth were and how powerful its defense was. Xuan Energy formed a glowing glove over Patriarch Yang's hand. He thought he could smash Little White to death easily. Little did he expect that Little White only moved its little mouth and it had cracked the Xuan Energy shield and bit off his hand.
"Ah~"
Patriarch Yang couldn't even remember when the last time was he sustained any injuries. He cried out in agony the moment his hand was bitten off. In his eyes were anger and killing intent.
Out of instinct, he let out horrifying qi and energy as if he were a beast from the ancient times. From his other hand, there appeared a black iron glove. He reached his hand toward Little White, aiming to crush it.
"Don't hurt Little White!"
Lu Li was taken aback. He reached out to grab Patriarch Yang's hang. It seemed Lu Li was merely trying to stop Patriarch Yang from harming Little White.
Patriarch Yang lost his hand to Little White in public. Granted, the Demon-slaying Hall had elixirs to help him grow his hand back but he was shamed nonetheless. He wouldn't stop his move now and didn't pay attention to Lu Li's hand.
"Blood Claw!"
When Lu Li grabbed Patriarch Yang's arm with both hands, one hand suddenly glowed in silver light. On Lu Li's right hand appeared silver scales. His right hand turned into a dashing dragon claw and it pressed down on Patriarch Yang's arm forcefully.
"Crack~"
"Ah—"
A sound of bone cracking came through, along with Patriarch Yang's cry. His hand was crushed by Lu Li. Blood spilled out as an arm fell down amid a rain of minced flesh.
"Die!"
"Boom~"
Seeing Lu Li reaching toward his chest, Patriarch Yang finally came to his senses at the critical moment of life and death. A surge of qi extended out from within him. An intangible shockwave radiated from him, trembling the space around. Lu Li and Little White were smashed away by the shockwave.
"Pff…such a pity!"
Lu Li was spilling out blood in midair. He had many broken ribs and bones. He was so close to kill Patriarch Yang just now.
That being said, Patriarch Yang was at the Earth Immortal Realm. If a warrior of this realm could be killed so easily, then all of them would be good-for-nothings. Lu Li and Little White were already incredibly lucky to be able to break one arm each. It stemmed from the fact that Patriarch Yang had underestimated his enemies or else Lu Li wouldn't be able to inflict any harm even if he was 10 times as powerful.
"But…"
It all happened so quickly that nobody could have timely reaction. It was only within the time for one breath for Little White and Lu Li to take this action. Many people were still in shock. Patriarch Yang's arm hadn't touched the ground yet.
Many warriors watched as Lu Li was smashed away and Patriarch Yang's severed bloody arms. They didn't understand how it all happened.
Lu Li counteracted on the verge of death?
How could he, at the Eternal Realm, be able to break the arms of an Earth Immortal Realm warrior? If the onlookers didn't see this by themselves, they wouldn't believe this.
"Ji Nu, Yang Qi?"
Lu Li was smashed away to the direction where Ji Nu and Yang Qi were standing. Lu Li noticed them with psychic power in midair and his face became ferocious.
"Die—"
Lu Li yelled, using Dragon Roar. His sound shook the Demon-slaying City. He turned over in midair, stared at Ji Nu and Yang Qi in front of him and stabbed knives of psychic power into their Soul Ponds.
"Swish, swish!"
Ji Nu and Yang Qi were close to Lu Li from the beginning, only about 100 feet away. Lu Li, when he was knocked away, shortened the distance. Naturally, Lu Li wouldn't show any mercy. He grabbed at the two with Blood Claw.
Two heads were crushed. Ji Nu and Yang Qi were killed by Lu Li before they had time to react.
Lu Li hadn't landed on the ground yet when he saw Lu Suan, Ji Mengtian and the others in the crowd. Lu Li raised his hand and let out a loud cry. He flew up again, took out his Fate Wheel and charged toward Lu Suan and the others.
"Buzzing!"
An intangible shockwave ripped through. Several Human Sovereign Realm warriors had activated their Force Field at the same time and froze Lu Li in midair.
Just now, nobody dared to intervene when Patriarch Yang was hurt and people hadn't come to their senses from Lu Li killing Ji Nu and Yang Qi. However…if Lu Li were to be allowed to kill more, then all the powerful warriors in the Demon-slaying City could retire.
Even so!
Many were astonished by Lu Li's cruelty and ruthlessness. No violence could be resorted to at the Demon-slaying City. Any violator would be sentenced to death with no questions asked.
This was a rule set at the establishment of the Demon-slaying City. For so many years, few and far between were bold enough to use violence and they were all punished by death.
It was because of this fact that when Lu Li took action, many powerful warriors were slowed down in their reaction. Otherwise, Lu Li wouldn't even have the chance to kill Ji Nu and Yang Qi.
Many people shuddered in horror, staring at Lu Li who was frozen in midair and just had just taken his Fate Wheel out, who was glaring at Lu Suan and others in the distance with such strong killing intent, and his blood and brains-tainted silver claw.
How many years had it been since such an exciting thing happened at the quiet and even lifeless Demon-slaying City?
Lu Li sure was bodacious to try to kill a patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall amid people's gazes. When he failed on that attempt, he turned to put on a killing spree.
On second thought, it was understandable. Lu Li was about to be killed. If he could drag one down with him, he could get even. If he could kill two, he would win. It was an action taken in despair.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
Several man flew up. Deputy Master, who had left, returned.
He flew over. Looking at Patriarch Yang's blood covered arms and Ji Nu and Yang Qi's crushed heads, Deputy Master felt his cheeks hurt as if he had been slapped on his face by Lu Li.
Standing in midair, Deputy Master looked coldly at Patriarch Yang, displeased that Patriarch Yang couldn't handle such a trivial matter. Deputy Master looked at Patriarch Long in the distance and said, "Brother Long, you carry out the execution."
"Whoosh~"
Patriarch Long nodded from the distance. He flew up and slapped in front of him without moving closer to Lu Li.
"Swash~"
Xuan Qi in heaven and earth started to converge as a shadow of a huge palm emerged. It pressed down on Lu Li. Warriors close to him fled soon in case they were smashed to death as well.
"Buzzing!"
It was at that moment when another change happened—
From the plaza at the south shot up a ray of light. Following that, a surge of energy spread over and enveloped the entire City.
Many warriors looked over and observed with psychic power. They were stunned to see that it was the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse that was glowing.
Once again, the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse lit up. The strange thing was that everyone was gathering around where Lu Li was about to be executed. There was nobody around the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. It was baffling that it should glow.
"Swish, swish!"
The shadow of palm that Patriarch Long had generated paused for only one moment and then pressed down.
However, when it was dozens feet above Lu Li's head, a man showed up in midair all of a sudden. With a wave of his hand, the palm shadow was shattered.
It all happened so quickly that all the powerful warriors present here were taken aback.
But some of them had faster reaction. They saw a red-haired powerful warrior standing in midair. Their faces were covered in ardent ecstasy. Some patriarchs got down on one knee soon and said, "Greetings, Grand Master!"
Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall came, finally.
