Oh no!

Bai Qiuxue’s leg was still entangled by the black vines. Her spirit and mind were not in good state. If she was attacked by the snake of fire, she would be seriously burnt, if not die.
Lu Li said to himself that the situation did not look good. In a split of a second, he had regained his senses. Little White was not by his side now. He was entangled by the black vines so he could not go over to deliver his help. He had to throw his halberd forcefully.

Bang!

His throw was accurate so the halberd reached Bai Qiuxue’s side in time. The snake of fire hit the halberd and Bai Qiuxue was saved.

Hmm?

Yu Lingxu’s ferocious face turned cold. His red eyes glanced over to Lu Li, becoming even more ferocious when he saw Lu Li. The mark on his neck glowed and a ball of flames flew out toward Lu Li forcefully.
At the spiral mountain road, he had intended to kill Lu Li. How could he not be angry when at this hour Lu Li was still making trouble?
Lu Li’s entire body was entangled by the black vines; therefore, he could not move. He had to watch the ball of flames coming his way helplessly. His body was caught on fire and his skins were burnt.

Ah…

Lu Li cried out in pain. The black vines were burnt off. He rolled around on the ground. Even though the flames were put out, most of his skin were still burnt. He was in so much pain that he was trembling. Being so badly wounded, he couldn’t use his hands or his legs.

Swish!

A white ray of light shot his way. Bai Qiuxue had freed herself from the shackles of the black vines. She took out a healing pellet and fed it to Lu Li at once. Then she looked at Yu Lingxu in a fit of wrath and said,
Yu Lingxu, how can you be so cruel?

Yu Lingxu snorted and said,
Everyone wants the hidden treasures of the Dragon King. I think it’ll be better if I make a move first before I am injured by you. As long as your life is not endangered, Bai Leng won’t say a thing, right?

While saying that, Yu Lingxu walked out in strides. He stomped on a young warrior who was just coming to his senses next to Yu Yuhan. Now that he was stomped on, he passed out again.
Yu Lingxu walked toward Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue one step at a time. His body was enveloped in flames so the black vines could not reach him. His flames were strange as they would not harm him.
He stared at them and said in a cold voice,
Lady Qiuxue, do you want to pass out on your own or do you want my help? If you don’t pass out, how can I go and get the treasures in good conscious?

Bai Qiuxue threw a glance to Lu Li. After making sure that his life was not in danger, she stood up and said indifferently,
You want to knock me out. Let’s see if you can do it.


Isn’t that easy?

The ring on Yu Lingxu’s hand lit up and a huge iron rod appeared. The balls of flames on his neck emerged and were condensed into three snakes of fire. Bai Qiuxue’s expressions changed greatly when she saw that. The snakes of fire were not aiming at her, but Lu Li.
Yu Lingxu’s intent was clear. He wanted to kill Lu Li. If Bai Qiuxue did not save him, Lu Li would die without a question. But if she did, then Yu Lingxu could easily attack her and injure her or knock her out.
Lu Li just saved her. How could Bai Qiuxue watch Lu Li being burnt to death without doing anything? She had to take a shield out and fend off the flames by his side. At the same time, she controlled the purple moon to attack Yu Lingxu.

Bang!

Yu Lingxu released a ball of flames which knocked off the crescent moon. The three snakes of flames hit against the silver shield of Bai Qiuxue forcefully. The shield was scorched. Under the high temperature, it melted into liquid iron.

Ah~

Bai Qiuxue’s hand was burnt. She had to throw the shield to the side. She carried Lu Li in her hands, trying to retreat at once. How could Yu Lingxulet Bai Qiuxue leave so easily? He launched forward like a beast. The huge iron rod was going to land on her head with force.

Swish!

Granted, Bai Qiuxue could still feel the pinching pain in her head, still, she reacted soon enough. She kicked backward on one leg and dodged to the side.

Lu Li, go to hell—

With an angry shout, Yu Lingxu swung his iron rod and hit it at Lu Li’s head as he was still in Bai Qiuxue’s arms. She looked helpless somehow. The piercing pain in her hand had impeded her greatly. Her reaction was influenced and her combat ability was diminished.
There were only two options for her now. Either she watched Lu Li die, or withstand this strike for him.
She had chosen the later. She turned around, moved Lu Li’s head aside and sustained the strike of the iron rod with her own back.

Bang!

This was preciously Yu Lingxu wanted. He planned to wound Bai Qiuxue badly so he could go and get the treasures.
He moved his iron rod upward slightly and the rod hit the back side of Bai Qiuxue’s head forcefully. She humphed under the pain. Fresh blood was streaming out of the back of her brain. She fell to the ground with Lu Li in her hands and passed out.

It’s over…

Lu Li was in so much pain that he had got goose bumps. The fall to the ground made him gasp out of suffering. Bai Qiuxue landed on his body, motionlessly. Clearly, she had blacked out. He complained about the suffering secretly. Perhaps they might die here today. Yu Lingxu would not let him go.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
As he expected, Yu Lingxu strode over to him. Lu Li clenched his teeth, ready to fight a desperate fight. However, the Mighty Heaven Halberd was not by his side. His opponent was at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm and with Sixth-rank Bloodline. How could he win?

Ah…

Right at that moment, a slight cry of pain came out from not far. Yu Yuhan happened to come to her senses. Glancing over there, Yu Lingxu snorted and left Lu Li alone. He walked over to Ye Yuhan in strides and then hit the back of her head with one swing of his iron rod in a hard way.

Yu…

Ye Yuhan only managed to say one word before she passed out again. Yu Lingxu looked to Zi Lian, afraid that she might wake up as well. He dared not to waste any more time. He jumped up, grabbed onto the huge cold iron chains and climbed up.

Swish!

What Yu Lingxu did not see was that on the other huge cold iron chain, a small beast rushed downward. Little White came back with an Interspatial Ring in its mouth.

Squeak, squeak~

It ran to Lu Li’s side. Seeing that half of Lu Li’s body was burnt, it screamed with concern.
Lu Li struggled to open his eyes. He was pleased seeing Little White came back with a ring in its mouth. Even though Yu Lingxu had got up there, the Interspatial Ring was taken by Little White one step ahead. There was only a saber left up there.
Lu Li struggled to reach out his hand to put the Interspatial Ring away. After that, he looked toward Yu Lingxu. He could tell that Yu Lingxu was very fast as the latter had climbed up quickly. At that moment, he was standing on the huge golden coffin, walking to the saber in strides.

Divine Weapon of the Dragon King!

The saber was glowing, brimming with energy. The runes on it were glistening. Clearly, it was no ordinary weapon. Lu Li had seen Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact before. This Divine Weapon might have surpassed that grade.
Furthermore, the golden coffin might be the one that had Dragon King in it. If the saber could pierce through the coffin so easily, how could the Divine Weapon be anything average?
Yu Lingxu was seized with excitement. His tastes were much better than Lu Li’s. Yu Lingxu knew clearly the value of this Divine Weapon. It might be a legendary Xuan Artifact of the Holy Grade!
He walked on the golden coffin in stride. Light was constantly flickering in his red eyes. His heart beasts were getting faster. He waked over one step at a time, finally reaching the Divine Weapon. He grabbed the handle of the Divine Weapon. At that moment, Yu Lingxu felt like he was going to stop breathing.

Buzzing!

The second Yu Lingxu grabbed the Divine Weapon, it glowed brightly. Then a surge of horrible qi and energy spread from it and enveloped the entire peak.

Um…

Under the qi and energy, all the people in coma opened their eyes. Even Bai Qiuxue who passed out because she was badly hit opened her eyes.

No!

Lu Li felt deep inside that something was going very wrong because the moment Yu Lingxu grabbed the Divine Weapon, a surge of evil and cold qi and energy suddenly emerged in his body.
It was as if Yu Lingxu had turned into a dreadful demon walking out from the underworld.
