"Plop~"
Liu Yi fell to the ground because of Lu Li's roar. Half of her laps were showing and her eardrums were hurting.
Paying no attention to the exposed skin and her ears, Liu Yi shouted excitedly, "Island Owner Lu, finally. Go to the Blood Evil Island now. Everyone will die if there is any delay."
Lu Li didn't go. Rather, he kept sitting with his legs crossed, trying to sense the situation inside his Soul Pond.
He was afraid what happened might occur again. Once he lost control of his body, he would be simply courting death at the Blood Evil Island.
The Soul Pond was quiet, no light, and no fluctuation. Lu Li tried to probe into the Pond. The image of his Soul Pond on his mind shocked him.
There was a dragon pattern inside his Soul Pond, an identical yet smaller Silver Dragon pattern to the one on his back. Even though this was just a feeling and he didn't actually see it, it was enough for him to feel astonished.
A Silver Dragon mark in his Soul Pond?
Lu Li never heard anything like this. Everyone's Soul Pond looked the same. The only difference was the sizes. It was utterly scary to have a weird dragon pattern inside his Soul Pond.
Then he did another round of internal inspection. His Spirit Sea was going on some changes. The Soul Pond was passing along a strange source of power through the Bridge of Spirits, making the Xuan Energy more concentrated.
It was normal. Every warrior that had made it to the Soul Pond Realm would have more concentrated and powerful Xuan Energy. The fact that warriors of this realm could release Xuan Energy externally was because of the evolution in Xuan Energy.
Everything else was fine!
Lu Li opened his eyes after a while and reached for his neck to check out the strange animal tooth pendant. There was nothing on the string. The animal tooth pendant had disappeared in an uncanny way.
Lu Li stood up, searched in his room and then asked Liu Yi, "Have you seen my animal tooth pendant?"
"I don't know..."
Liu Yi looked around with doubt, then shook her head. She talked Lu Li into leaving again, "Lu Li, don't mind the animal tooth pendant now. Go to the Blood Evil Island. They are dying out there."
"Alright!"
After several looks, Lu Li made sure that the animal tooth pendant was missing. He walked out with confusion in his eyes, then he shouted, "Little White, time for us to take some actions!"
"Swish!"
From a room, Little White rushed out with a piece of Blood Flame Spar in its mouth. It had dug this out itself. The person sent to buy the spars by Patriarch Seven hadn't come back yet.
Little White finished the Blood Flame Spar off soon and sneaked into Lu Li's sleeve. He said to Liu Yi, "You wait here. I will go on my own."
"Okay!"
Liu Yi was not a powerful warrior. She wouldn't offer much help except for courting her own death. She looked at Lu Li nervously and said, "Island Owner, are you going to be okay?"
"I hope so!"
With those casual words, Lu Li left the temporary residence and rushed out of the island with his Might Heaven Halberd. The Earth Dragon Island was not far from the Blood Evil Island. He could even faintly see the battleships anchored outside of the Blood Evil Island.
"Okay!"
Coincidentally, there was a small battleship coming this way. It should be a patrol ship circling outside of the Blood Evil Island. Lu Li dived into the water and approached the small battleship. When he was close enough, he jumped out of the lake like a shark and smashed the water-dripped Mighty Heaven Halberd at the two warriors on the deck.
The five people on the battleship were all at the Spirit Sea Realm. How could they be any match for Lu Li? The two warriors' heads were smashed before they even had time to realize what had happened.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Three men rushed out of the cabin, unsheathed their swords and cut at Lu Li. Lu Li made a move that instantly filled the deck with his shadows, which frightened the three men into randomly hacking and cutting.
"Clank, clank, clank~"
With several casual moves, two warriors' weapons were smashed away and their heads crushed. Lu Li became very excited as he was confident that—
He had reached the Soul Pond Realm as he could feel his sense of perceptions was much stronger. It was as if the attacks from the warriors were in slow motion. Lu Li could tell the trajectory of the attacks which enabled him to crack the warriors' moves.
"Don't move, or you will die as well!"
Lu Li stopped and pressed his halberd against the neck of the remaining warrior. The shadows of Lu Li on the deck disappeared. Lu Li looked into the distance instead of at the scout. He felt he could see the world more clearly. The Soul Pond Realm was doing him much good.
"I am Lu Li!"
Lu Li glanced to the lake bandit with fear all over his face and said, "I am the Island Owner of the island that you are attacking now. I have killed many a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm. I can kill you as easily as I crush a bug. So, if you want your life, you will do as I say."
"Yes, sure. Lord Lu, as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything." The lake bandit was panic-stricken. Lu Li had such a reputation. How would the lake bandit dare to act rashly?
"Set sail towards the Blood Evil Island!"
Lu Li said coldly. He got into the cabin following the warrior who was sailing towards the Blood Evil Island. Lu Li kept pointing his halberd at the warrior, ready to kill him as soon as he did anything suspicious.
"How many of you are here? Who is your leader? Which realm is he at? How many powerful warriors are here?"
Lu Li kept glancing to the outside while asking about the situation. The lake bandits cooperated well and told Lu Li about the situation. He knew not of Xu Yaoyang and Xu Sihe, so he only told Lu Li which Realm White Beard at.
"Okay!"
Lu Li put his mind at ease. He was not afraid of one Fate Wheel Realm warrior. Even if there were several of them, they would still see death since Little White was here.
Soon, they pulled into shore where there anchored more than a dozen battleships. Every one of them had several warriors onboard to stay on guard. Lu Li glanced over but found no powerful warriors. They must be on the island.
"You can go now!"
Lu Li kept his words of not killing the lake bandit. For Lu Li, killing one more lake bandit was meaningless. He rushed out towards other battleships.
"Bang!"
With one move, Lu Li killed a man. The warriors staying on board were alarmed. One of them shouted, "We are under attack!"
Before the warrior could finish his words, he was killed by Lu Li with one sweep of his halberd. Many more warriors came out from the cabins and dashed towards Lu Li.
Lu Li produced many shadows which stunned the lake bandits. There was no Soul Pond Realm warriors on the ships. For Lu Li, killing those warriors was as easy as crushing ants. One move could give him one dead body.
In the span of more than a dozen breaths, the dozens of warriors staying on guard were all killed by Lu Li. The place was full of bodies. Many warriors were smashed so heavily by the halberd that they were deformed, looking extremely horrifying.
"Swish!"
With no pause, Lu Li dashed towards the island, leaving only the one lake bandit that he had abducted. The lake bandit was frightened by Lu Li's ferocious means that he had forgotten to run away. Luckily for him, Lu Li was a man of his words so the he wasn’t killed.
"He is a man deserving his reputation."
The lake bandit remembered the old saying. Lu Li enjoyed quite a fame at the Thousand-island Lake. His stories were familiar to this low level lake bandits.
At first, many had thought that Lu Li only got his fame because he was lucky. At this moment, the lake bandit finally understood. No famous warrior could only rely on luck. A warrior could amount to nothing with no power, no matter how fortunate he was.
"I'll leave now!"
The lake bandit decided to leave the place on his battleship. He had a feeling that not many bandits that came this time could leave alive. Most of them would die at the Blood Evil Island.
