396: Chapter 396 Hua Yunfei's Scheme!

With the help of the Xing Character Secret’s Heaven-Defying speed, which involved the Laws of time and space, Lu Li’s figure moved as if teleporting, forcibly crushing the Void Realm and appearing directly in front of the Elder.

A harmless smile flickered in his clear, big eyes, but to that Elder, it was like the gaze of a death god!

“You—!” The Goatee Elder was scared out of his wits, his hair standing on end as he instinctively tried to summon his Natal Immortal Artifact for protection.

“Bang!”

Another punch! Simple and unadorned, yet fast as lightning!

Lu Li’s small fist smashed firmly and without any hindrance into the very center of the Elder’s chest.

“Ah—!”

The Elder let out a shrill, agonizing scream like a slaughtered pig.

The top-grade Defensive Dharma Robe on his body, which radiated treasure light, exploded into scraps with a 'snap' the moment it touched the fist. Then, his Profound Immortal Physical Body, tempered by countless Immortal Qi and claimed to be invulnerable, actually collapsed deeply amidst a hair-raising sound of cracking bones under Lu Li’s terrifying punch, which contained the power of a billion Dragon Elephants, as if it were fragile, tender tofu!

The violent power passed through his body, directly exploding into a huge mist of blood from his back.

The Elder flew backward like a heavy cannonball, spitting blood mixed with organ fragments. He broke over a dozen ancient trees that would take dozens of people to encircle before finally smashing into a rock wall like a pile of mud, his fate unknown, his aura instantly withering to the extreme.

“This... this is impossible! Elder Wang is a Mid-stage Profound Immortal!”

“Monster! He’s a monster in human skin!”

The remaining four Early Stage Profound Immortal Elders were scared witless as they watched their companion, whose fate was unknown, their legs shaking uncontrollably.

Instantly killing a Mid-stage Profound Immortal with one punch?

Was this something a wet-behind-the-ears teenager could do? This violent physical strength was simply a hundred or a thousand times more brutal than those legendary Primeval Fierce Beasts that ate raw meat and drank blood!

“Run! Quick, run! We are no match for him at all, hurry and report to Senior Brother Hua!”

The four no longer had even a hint of their previous arrogance or killing intent; their pride was smashed to pieces by that punch.

They screamed, unhesitatingly burning their Origin Essence Blood and turning into four streaks of light of different colors, fleeing madly in four different directions like stray dogs.

“Since you’re already here, why the rush to leave? I haven’t had enough fun yet!”

Lu Li watched the fleeing streaks of light and giggled, revealing two cute little canine teeth, but his gaze was as cold as a blade.

“Xing Character Secret! Stay here for your young master!”

Lu Li’s figure flickered repeatedly, pulling out dozens of solid afterimages in the Void Realm, moving so fast that even Divine Sense could not capture him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Accompanied by four consecutive dull sounds of flesh exploding, the noise echoed over the forest.

The four Taiyi Immortal Sect Profound Immortal Elders, who thought they were extremely fast, didn't even have time to scream in despair before they were caught by that terrifying Divine Elephant Power.

Lu Li’s fists were like the death god’s roll call, hitting their backs with absolute precision.

The spines of the four were instantly shattered by the violent power. Spitting blood, they fell from the high sky like four broken sacks with clipped wings, crashing heavily onto the earth, completely losing their combat power and only able to twitch in pain in pools of blood.

Having easily dealt with a few small fry who came to seek death, Lu Li patted the dust off his fair little hands, looking relaxed and comfortable.

“Father said that when out and about, one must pluck feathers from a passing goose; nothing should be wasted.”

He took light steps, preparing to go forward and strip these five old fellows of their Storage Rings and Magic Treasures to fill his own little treasury.

Just then, Lu Li’s movement as he was about to bend over paused slightly, and a subtle glint flickered deep within his originally clear and innocent eyes.

He slowly straightened up, his gaze seemingly casually glancing toward the distant deep valley, which was perpetually shrouded in colorful poisonous mist and emitted a pungent, foul stench.

With the Heaven-Defying Divine Sense inherent to the Innate Chaos Body that merged with the Great Dao, he had long sensed that while he was acting earlier, there was a perfectly hidden aura with a cold and powerful killing intent, staring at him from the shadows like a venomous snake.

“Peak Late-stage Mysterious Immortal, and it carries the scent of a mixed Vicious Beast Bloodline... It seems the lead character from Father’s script is finally about to appear.”

Lu Li sneered inwardly, a fox-like cunning light flashing through his eyes.

“Since you want to watch a show, your young master will give you an Oscar-worthy performance.”

Thinking this, Lu Li’s relaxed expression instantly vanished.

He deliberately took a deep breath, using his blood qi to force his rosy face to turn a few shades paler.

“Huff... huff...”

He deliberately bent over, hands on his knees, panting 'heavily' with his mouth wide open, even using his sleeve to wipe non-existent 'sweat' from his forehead, putting on an act as if that series of moves just now, while powerful, had instantly drained most of the Qi and physical strength from his body.

“Oh, these old bones were quite tough; it's exhausted your young master...”

Lu Li deliberately muttered loudly, then 'couldn't be bothered' to pick up the spoils on the ground. His steps appeared 'unsteady' and hurried as he plunged into the valley filled with deadly corrosive poisonous miasma, seemingly in a rush to find a hidden spot to sit and recover.

In the shadows, within the canopy of a dense, towering ancient tree, Hua Yunfei, dressed in a black-gold robe, was concealing his entire aura, lurking there like a ghost.

His narrow eyes, with pupils glowing with a faint green light, stared fixedly at Lu Li’s 'stumbling' back as he disappeared into the poisonous miasma valley. A hint of gravity flashed in his eyes, but it was mostly the extreme bloodlust and fanaticism of a hunter seeing his prey fall into a trap.

“This kid’s Physical Body... is actually strong to such an unfathomable degree? He’s practically a humanoid True Dragon! No wonder he could reign supreme in the Lower Realm and kill Elder Lei Yan and the others from my Taiyi Immortal Sect!”

Hua Yunfei calculated inwardly, a cruel sneer curling his lips.

“However, this kind of physical secret technique that instantly erupts with power far exceeding one’s Realm must have terrible side effects and massive consumption.

Looking at his panting, weak appearance just now, it’s clear that those few punches have already exhausted the vast majority of the blood qi and Qi in his body!”

Hua Yunfei thought he had seen through Lu Li’s true state, and most of his vigilance dissipated, replaced by endless greed.
