Chapter 682: No Other Choice
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li was not a masochist. Stabbing himself for nothing? Pretending to be okay against all the pains? Who would do that? This was not a way of pretending to be something.
Lu Li’s intention was to dominate Leng Wuxin, a girl from an extraordinary background with her hands tainted by blood. That being said, she was still a girl. There was a chance that she could be scared.
Lu Li didn’t build his hopes of surviving up. He only wished to scare Leng Wuxin enough so that Ye Cha and God of Meng wouldn’t have to die because of him. This young lady was cruel and heartless and she would not let Ye Cha and God of Meng off the hook easily.
Leng Wuxin indeed was frightened by Lu Li. She had mistakenly believed that Lu Li was a pasty-faced boy, weak like a playboy. She didn’t expect that he would be so ruthless like a robber. How could he be so cold to himself?
And there was Lu Li’s eyes. His looks remained calm, which formed a sharp contrast to the bleeding wounds. Nobody could stay unmoved, let alone a maiden.
“Buzzing!”
Two lotus next to Leng Wuxin glowed as the petals moved apart slowly. Her eyes lit up as two streaks of blue light flashed into God of Meng’s eyes. He was covered in blood. He was about to fly out of the lotus when he was rendered motionless by the blue rays and he seemed to be at a loss.
“Whoosh~”
A long black whip appeared in her hand and Leng Wuxin smashed at God of Meng’s head. Around the black whip surrounded a glare and a black air stream, amid which hidden runes. Every piece of space the whip touched was torn.
“Another Quasi Relic…”
Lu Li was speechless. Where did she come from? How come she had so many Quasi Relics as if they were nothing?
He was not worried about her attack, though. She didn’t seem to intend to kill God of Meng, only knocking him unconscious.
“Bang!”
As Lu Li had thought, the whip landed on the back of God of Meng’s head. The force knocked him out. His head was bleeding and there was a wound. He was smashed into a mountain.
“Swish~”
The whip slid over to another direction. Ye Cha had just flown out when he was struck still by the two rays of blue light.
“Bang!”
Ye Cha was smashed away as well and he fainted. He was buried by the sliding muds and stones.
With that done, Leng Wuxin turned to Lu Li and said, “I give you two choice. First, die. Not only you, you die with your men. Second, come with me and I have three tasks for you.”
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Li exhaled quietly. He took out two healing pellets and consumed them. He was right. This Leng Wuxin was interested in him. He had done the right thing to stay and God of Meng and Ye Cha could survive.
After he consumed the healing pellets, Lu Li used Xuan Energy to patch his wounds to stop the bleeding. He then turned to Leng Wuxin and said, “Where? You will let me come back after I accomplish the three tasks?”
“You don’t have the right to know about the where!”
Leng Wuxin gave a cold response, “If you can finish the three tasks, of course I will let you go!”
Lu Li shrugged. With a bitter smile, he said, “Do I have any other options?”
“Clever boy!”
Leng Wuxin whooshed her whip over. Like a serpent, the whip tied up Lu Li’s hands. A surge of strange power came from the whip. Suddenly, Lu Li felt his body was in confinement and he couldn’t use any source of power.
“Put away your Fate Wheel!”
Leng Wuxin waved her hands. A huge lotus flew toward Lu Li who put away his Fate Wheel into his abdomen. When the lotus arrived, Lu Li found himself being wrapped inside.
He could see through the petals. The whip went through the petals, one end tied to Lu Li’s hands and the other end held in Leng Wuxin’s hands. Lu Li felt he was like a livestock controlled by her…
“Buzzing~”
The other lotuses went back into Leng Wuxin’s hands, leaving merely two outside. Leng Wuxin turned back and gave Lu Li a cold glance. She flew away in her lotus. Since she and Lu Li were connected by the whip, Lu Li’s lotus was pulled forward. The two lotuses were like two flower lamps dancing in the sky…
Looking through the petals to God of Meng and Ye Cha, a surge of mixed feelings filled Lu Li’s heart. Somehow he thought—he might be brought to a distant place by Leng Wuxin. It was even possible that he would never return.
“Qiuxue, sister, Qiling, aunt, father…”
Looking back, Lu Li murmured those names to himself. He felt pity and loneliness. After a couple of months, Bai Qiuxue would be able to wake up. Yet, he would not be there for her. Since he was born, he had never met his father.
“Whoosh~”
The lotus ahead of him was travelling faster and faster. It was going quicker than a Human Sovereign Realm warrior and the speed was picking up. Gazing into the flashing views on both sides, Lu Li exclaimed to himself at the power of a ninth rank Bloodline which was not only efficient in defense, but could also be used to trap people and travel at a horrifying speed!
“To the north?”
To Lu Li’s dismay, he realized Leng Wuxin was flying toward the north, whether neither Ye Cha nor the others had had the chance to check. The Inferno was so spacious that not even Ye Cha could go too far in.
“Can it be…”
Lu Li had an idea. Were there indigenous people living in the Inferno? Was Leng Wuxin a young lady from a major family among the indigenous group?
Or…
Did some ancient races flee into the Inferno after the war with humans hundreds of thousands of years ago? Were they being able to develop here? Could it be that Leng Wuxin’s ancestors were from a famous race once?
There was a loophole in this deduction, though. Leng Wuxin had ninth rank Bloodline, the highest rank in the history of the Heaven Reverse Universe. But only one person had it and that was the Emperor of Heaven Reverse!
When there was no previous case of ninth rank Bloodline, it was impossible for a family’s future generations to have it, unless it’s Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s offspring.
Yet he was never married and had no offspring. Otherwise, his children would have formed the most powerful royal family.
Lu Li had no answer for himself. The Rising Dragon Skill had cost him greatly, mentally and physically. Considering that he later stabbed himself a couple of times, he was extremely weak at this moment.
He sat with his legs crossed and took everything off his mind other than waiting for his body to recover. The power from the whip had confined him from using Xuan Energy. He had to rely on his own physical strength to recover.
The lotus was traveling at a faster speed. As of this moment, its speed was equivalent to an Earth Immortal Realm warrior. Lu Li felt nothing in his heart. He didn’t bother himself about the speed. He looked down and found many strange beasts.
Oddly enough, it was as if the beasts couldn’t see the lotus flying above them. They didn’t even look up and were just wandering around casually.
“Where is this girl taking me?”
From the depth of his soul, he felt urges to fall asleep but he didn’t dare to. He opened his eyes wide and checked the surroundings, trying to remember the direction and the land features.
It was a long shot for him to come back and yet he had the hope within him. He would come back. He would exert all his energies to come back because there were so many families and friends waiting for him…to come home.
