Lu Li’s speed also caught the attention of Leng Buji and Leng Wumi. Leng Wuxin had always known Lu Li was fast, but she didn’t realize he could be this quick.
Of course, at the moment, nobody cared if Lu Li had learned a powerful speed skill from Blood Emperor. All they could focus on now was flying for their lives. They wished they could have wings so they could fly even faster.
The Jun Family had two Earth Immortal Realm warriors and more were coming from the north. There was no telling which family they were from. Leng Wushang had to lead the team and run as far away as possible before the Jun Family came around. The further they were away, the safer they would be.
They flew for four hours but nobody was on their tails. Finally, they were relieved.
Four hours was enough for them to stay ahead. The Jun Family couldn’t catch up with them so quickly even after they realized what had happened.
“Let’s keep going!”
But Leng Wushang was still worried. He threw a look into the maple forest and then continued to fly downstream.
Leng Wushang still had a glint of hope in his heart, praying that Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba could make it out. To fly downstream they would arrive at that previous wind cave. What if they two had come out and left behind some marks?
They flew along the river. By the river there wasn’t a forest. Therefore, they wouldn’t trigger any Inhibition Formation. But flying in the maple forest would be unsafe.
They were about to arrive at the wind cave after flying for another two hours. Still, nobody was after them. They felt they could finally breathe again.
It seemed like the Jun Family was scared away. Those that were coming from the north to the pit hadn’t caught up. They should have gotten out of the jaws of danger.
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Li took a look of the surrounding environment. He knew they would be arriving at the wind cave soon. He was relieved. He wouldn’t be afraid even if the enemies were to come. Not even Earth Immortal Realm warriors could stand the Feather Wind in the cave while Lu Li could, thus making the wind cave a safe haven for him.
“Let’s have a rest!”
Leng Wushang waved his hand. They might not be physically exhausted by their minds were worn out. They had been under constant stress. They must take a rest or else when they were in another perilous situation, it could become more dangerous.
They put away their Beads of Life, took out some clean water and dried food and dug in on the grass. They had just finished the first piece of meat when they heard a slight sound coming from the north.
“Move!”
Like scared rabbits, they leaped up and jumped onto their Beads of Life. They whooshed toward the south.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
After the time for an incense stick to burn, some loud laughter came from behind, “Leng Wushang, you cannot run away now. Today, I swear I will not let you get away!”
Jun Mengchen didn’t even attempt to hide the killing intent in his words. He and others on his team were also flying on Beads of Life and all their speed was at the later stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors carried one each, which was why they could be so fast.
Lu Li wasn’t too worried. The pursuing forces were faster, but the wind cave was right ahead. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Leng Wushang, on the other hand, was in a panic. An idea sprang to Lu Li’s mind. After a moment, Lu Li said, “Young Master Wushang, let’s go to the wind cave. You may faint in there, but I will be able to protect your lives. If they dare to barge in, they will land themselves in serious trouble.”
“What?”
Leng Wushang looked at Lu Li and remembered the latter was not afraid of Feather Wind. They could go into the depths of the cave where Earth Immortal Realm warriors wouldn’t be able to withstand the Feather Wind.
However…
What if they themselves were the ones that couldn’t endure the Feather Wind? The soul attack contained in the Feather Wind was ferocious. What if their souls collapsed?
Leng Wuxin was feeling differently. This was a good chance. It would be utterly easy for Lu Li to kill Leng Wushang in the wind cave. Leng Wuxin was not worried that Lu Li would take her out as well. After all, without her, there would be no more supplies of antidote and Lu Li would have to face death in that case.
Leng Wuxin thought about it and said, “I agree. Apart from the wind cave, there is no other way for us to go. Young Master Lu, if you can save us this time, I will see to it that you will be rewarded.”
Leng Wushang noticed how Lu Li’s eyes were glowing in lust. The former put his guard down. He then turned to Leng Wumi who said to Lu Li with her watery eyes, “Brother Lu, if you can keep us alive, I will serve you as your maid.”
Lu Li’s cheeks glowed in happiness. He promised, “Don’t worry. You can put your mind at ease. I am here for you. Nothing will happen to you!”
“Okay, to the wind cave. Brother Lu, after this matter is resolved, you will be rewarded generously!”
Leng Wushang was convinced. If Lu Li could really help them overcome this difficulty, he would not mind marrying Leng Wuxin or Leng Wumi to Lu Li.
They dashed on and at the opening of the wind cave, Leng Wushang stopped to take a look. He failed to see any marking, though, which disappointed him. It had been several months. Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba must have died for some time now.
But there were marks of attacks on the wind cave. Someone else must have come to explore but couldn’t come in. They must have tried to smash the cave open in a fit of rage.
“Let’s go!”
They could see some black dots from behind. Their enemies could arrive in the time for a dozen breaths. They couldn’t linger on. Putting away their Beads of Life, they ran into the wind cave madly.
“Go in further. Don’t be afraid. I am here. You will survive this!”
Lu Li took the lead and yelled to the others. They all followed him in. Just as the last time they came, when they were six miles in the cave, Feather Wind started to blow.
If it were any other time, they would have turned back and run away. But this time, they had no other choice but to dash on.
“Ah~”
Leng Wumi was the first to be affected by the Feather Wind. She rolled on the ground, hugging her head. Leng Wuxin and the others couldn’t walk further, either. Leng Buji leaned against the wall and seemed like he could fall at any moment now.
“Earth Immortal Realm warriors have an easy time to attack you from here. I will bring you deeper in. You must hang on but if you really cannot, let it go and faint.”
Lu Li yelled though in fact he was overjoyed. If he could them bring further in and they could all pass out, then it would be perfect for him.
He carried Leng Wumi in one hand and helped Leng Wushang up with another hand. Leng Wumi couldn’t endure any longer after they travelled for a few more miles. She screamed and fainted.
Leng Wushang was bellowing in pain with his hands crossed behind his head as well. Lu Li threw the two onto the ground and then went back to get Leng Wuxin and Leng Buji.
Leng Wuxin was humming in pain. Seeing that Lu Li was reaching out grab her arm, she threw him a warning look—she was telling him in a silent way that if he dared to do anything rashly, she wouldn’t mind making him perish with them.
“Whoosh~”
They heard footsteps in the cave. An Earth Immortal Realm warrior was coming. Jun Mengchen’s angry voice was heard next, “Uncle Nine, kill them all except for Leng Wushang. Well…keep Leng Wuxin alive. I want to have a good time with her.”
“Such strong Feather Wind?”
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior was less than a mile into the cave. He could already feel the Feather Wind. He was taken aback. But he could already faintly see Lu Li. His hand glowed as he generated a spear of Xuan Qi. He swung it forward and yelled, “Go to hell—”
“Swish, swish~”
Xuan Qi gathered around the spear as it whooshed on. It was as fast as lighting and had almost reached Lu Li’s back in an instant.
“Young Master Leng, I am so sorry!”
Lu Li didn’t even look back but he had already sensed the turbulence in space from behind. He threw Leng Buji behind him and ran forward with Leng Wuxin.
“Bang!”
Leng Buji had Quasi Relic armor on but Earth Immortal Realm warrior’s attack was simply too ferocious. The spear made of Xuan Qi landed on Leng Buji’s armor. With a huge explosion, Leng Buji was smashed away. Blood seeped out from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears. He might still be alive but he must have been badly wounded…
