Chapter 602: Stunning Show
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
As always, Lu Li was not interested in management and governance. Back at the Blood Evil Island, Liu Yi was the one managing. Later, after the Empire of Godly Prowess was established, Madam Yan was trusted with governance. Lu Li himself rarely stepped in.
It was even more so with the Inferno. After all, among so many powerful warriors, more were from the Clouds Plains. Lu Ling was a born commander, a leader. Lu Li wouldn't exceed his duties and meddle in her governance.
He preferred fights and Fire Leopards were good opponents for him to better his Soul Shattering skill. He would not miss out on a chance like this.
"Buzzing~"
Lu Li generated dozens clones, which had attracted some surprised stares. Apart from the Human Sovereign Realm warriors, none of the Noble Lord Realm warriors could tell where Lu Li really was. Many from the Clouds Plains were astonished.
The fact that Lu Li was the state councilor of the Empire of Cloud Prowess was not well-received by many. After all, he was only of the Eternal Realm, which was too low. The Noble Lord Realm warriors from the Clouds Plains had thought that they could crush Lu Li with one hand.
Now, however, many began to look at him with a new perspective. At the very least, the move Lu Li demonstrated right now was noteworthy. The cloning skill contained Profound Meaning and those that could master a Profound Meaning shall not be taken lightly.
"Very good!"
Lu Li had targeted one Fire Leopard. He smashed at the Fire Leopard with several clones and his confidence was boosted by the fact that the Fire Leopard could not tell his clones apart.
"Hoy~"
Lu Li distracted a Fire Leopard with his clones and then hacked at its head with his divine weapon of Dragon King.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the Fire Leopard fell from midair. After rolling around on the ground for a bit, it dropped dead,
"How…"
Many warriors turned to Lu Li. Shock came over their faces when they saw how ferocious he was. Fire Leopards were quite strong. As Noble Lord Realm warriors, they would have to cooperate and kill one after several bouts of attacks. How did Lu Li kill a Fire Leopard in one move?
"All hail the Saint Lord!"
Meng Zhi yelled. They took pride in their Saint Lord's abilities. At first, they felt overwhelmed by the powerful warriors from the Clouds Plains. But Lu Li had made a stunning first move, which had boosted their confidence.
Lu Li smiled gently, not feeling smug. It had been some time since he could beat warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. The Fire Leopards were nothing different from them. To kill them was not a surprise for Lu Li.
Lu Li had used Soul Shattering skill. He sent vibration waves of powerful strength into the head of the Fire Leopard directly and managed to smash its head right away, killing it right on the spot.
"Bang~"
Lu Li wielded his divine weapon of Dragon King and aimed at another Fire Leopard rushing over. Amid a deep noise, yet another Fire Leopard was knocked away. After rolling on the ground for a bit, it dropped dead.
Lu Li was greatly encouraged by the progress. He flew over with his clones dancing around. He kept swinging his divine weapon of Dragon King and every time he struck, there would be a Fire Leopard dying. He was no less efficient than the five Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
Even the Human Sovereign Realm warriors had fresh views of Lu Li. While God of Meng had always known about Lu Li's capacities, Cheng Qu, Hu Lang and others didn't share the same thoughts. If he weren't Lu Ling's brother, they wouldn't even look at him twice.
The Human Sovereign Realm warriors were astonished to find that Lu Li could kill the Fire Leopards as fast as they could. The siblings were both rarely seen talents.
Lu Ling stood at the opening of the valley, looking at Lu Li with pride. He had told her that he could beat Noble Lord Realm warriors. Nevertheless, she couldn't stop from feeling joyful. As she was to him, Lu Li was the entire world to her.
…
Soon, another hundreds of Fire Leopards were killed. Some were injured this time but not severely.
Lu Li sent Ye Cha to lure more over. Since Ke Mang and others from the Shadowland Race were constructing the illusions, Lu Li had told Ye Cha not to stir too many Fire Leopards in case Ke Mang and others might be in danger.
All the horns of Fire Leopards were collected. Lu Ling asked someone to transport them to the Clouds Plains to have some craftsmen see if they could make some Divine Grade Xuan Artifacts out of them.
If some Divine Grade Xuan Artifacts could be manufactured, Lu Ling wouldn't sell them. Instead, she would distribute them to the Noble Lord Realm warriors. In that case, they could have their abilities improved and they could fasten their steps to conquer the small world.
Soon, more Fire Leopards came!
There were more than a million Fire Leopards nearby. By combating hundreds a time, it would take a long time before they could finish off all the Fire Leopards.
But Lu Li and Lu Ling weren't ready to get too many Fire Leopards yet. Otherwise, many warriors could be killed or wounded. The illusion formation was still under construction and the teams were still learning to cooperate. They must take baby steps.
Lu Li had been focusing only on his fight against the Fire Leopards and nothing else. He had been deliberating about the Soul Shattering skill and how to increase vibration waves.
When faced against Noble Lord Realm warriors, it was evident that Lu Li could defeat them with Soul Shattering skill. As for Human Sovereign Realm warriors, it was not enough. Human Sovereign Realm warriors were too strong. If Lu Li could not kill his Human Sovereign Realm opponent in one move, then he would be the one killed.
If Lu Li could increase shock waves to dozens or hundreds, then the skill would become mightier. In that case, Lu Li could kill a Human Sovereign Realm warrior in a surprise attack.
To achieve that, Lu Li would have to incorporate the skill with a Profound Meaning. He might be inspired during the fight so he cherished the opportunity. He concentrated solely on fighting the Fire Leopards.
He had cloning skill and the Fire Leopards could not tell his clones apart, which had guaranteed his safety. Every time he swung his divine weapon of Dragon King, he could kill a Fire Leopard. He appeared to have an easier time than the five Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
Ye Cha asked Ye Hu to take over the task of luring Fire Leopards over. Ye Cha himself went to the herd to collect information. He had sensed that there were Beast Kings among the Fire Leopards. He was going to confirm that and see how many there were.
The fight lasted for an entire afternoon. By nightfall, Lu Ling ordered for them to stop. The several Human Sovereign Realm warriors were sent to protect Ke Mang and the others as they continued to build illusion formation.
At least 4000 Fire Leopards were slayed in the afternoon. No human warrior died. Only more than 100 were injured, a remarkable outcome.
Ke Mang and his team were still working. They were up through the night. By the next day, they had succeeded. It was an illusion formation of mist. An area with a radius of more than 600 miles outside the valley were enveloped by mist.
However!
The mist couldn't isolate psychic powers. Given that all the warriors were of the Noble Lord Realm and they all had psychic powers, the formation wouldn't affect them.
On the other hand, the Fire Leopards were under great impact. The illusion formation would confuse the Fire Leopards and they would go around in circles…following a pattern. In other words, once stepping into the illusion formation, the Fire Leopards would become sitting ducks. It would not only facilitate the warriors but also enhance safety.
Ye Hu soon got hundreds Fire Leopards over. As was described by Ke Mang, after the Fire Leopards stepped into the mist, it as if they were blinded and thick-headed. They walked around in circles while the warriors were influenced not in one bit. They could easily target the Fire Leopards with psychic power.
"Good. Another great contribution from the Shadowland Race!"
Lu Ling nodded. She began to make new arrangements. The 10 teams were divided into 100 smaller teams with only more than a dozen warriors on each team. In this way, they could move around with greater agility and quicken their fights.
With the assistance of the illusion formation, Lu Ling believed that in less than a month or two, the territory of the Fire Leopards could be taken over. When they exterminated the Beast King, they could pocket all the treasured materials in the surrounding areas.
