The Invincible Dragon Emperor

It was true that the immortal’s body could not finish the job. Blazing Huo took out a stove and spilled out flames. Again, the immortal’s body was trapped by the shield of fire.

Without a soul, the immortal’s body just dashed about madly. Lu Li could control him remotely, but the endings of a battle between powerful warriors usually were determined in an instant. It would be too late by the time Lu Li wanted to command the immortal’s body.

Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist would have taken actions to crack open the shield of fire or run away when they were about to be surrounded by flames.

Lu Li described the situation to the Deaf Taoist. He nodded to Lu Li. The Wicked Bead lit up as the Deaf Taoist appeared outside.

“Roar, roar~”

The Deaf Taoist roared into the air. His robe was torn apart, and he was growing taller and stronger in a speed visible to the naked eye. A tail appeared and his face became ferocious. He had become a human-shaped gorilla.

He took out that huge stone column, dashing forward while roaring. Soon, he reached Blazing Huo and struck him with the stone column.

“Hmm!”

Blazing Huo was not terrified at all. He said with a cold grin, “Deaf Taoist, I have been waiting for you. Now that you have come in, stay here forever.”

“Fire Shield!”

“Shower of Fire!”

“Ghost Light!”

Blazing Huo did not move. While building the shield, he poured out more flames, which contained many masses of Corpse Candle.

At the same time, Blazing Huo used something he had never used before. Some blue flames surrounded him. The blue flames would vanish in the air as soon as they were released and then the next second, they would appear near Blazing Huo. The blue flames were unstable. They even seemed to have faces of ghosts. It was quite wicked.

“Bang!”

Blazing Huo was smashed away by the stone column. Blood was oozing out from his mouth. Clearly, he was hurt.

“Ah~”

But the Deaf Taoist was worse. Over a dozen masses of Ghost Light burned him. The Shower of Fire and the Corpse Candle were so intense, and he was so large that he could not move away. Two masses of Corpse Candle attached to his body. His skin and flesh were being burned away at a speed visible to the naked eye. He kept roaring in pain…

The fire alone would only hurt the Deaf Taoist physically. But things were more dangerous here—because it was the Nightmare of Darkness. The Deaf Taoist was focused on getting rid of the fire and had forgotten this was the most terrifying nightmare.

His eyes were turning milky. Finally, he had to tear apart several pieces of his flesh to smash away the Corpse Candle. However, he seemed to have lost to the Nightmare of Darkness.

He was floating uncontrollably. His expressions indicated misery. His eyes were closed, and he could not make a single sound.

“Oh, no!”

Lu Li was concerned. Deaf Taoist was stuck in the Nightmare of Darkness. It was not troubling because he must have ways to break free from the nightmare to come back to his senses.

What mattered was that Blazing Huo was eyeing the Deaf Taoist. At the moment, the Deaf Taoist was without protection. If Blazing Huo set out more masses of Corpse Candle, the Deaf Taoist would be burnt into ashes.

“Risk it!”

Lu Li bit his teeth. He chose to believe in the silver dragon mark. He dashed out from the Wicked Bead into the Nightmare of Darkness. He swung the Relic weapon and targeted Blazing Huo, who was about to strike the Deaf Taoist.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Blazing Huo laughed instead of being frightened when Lu Li dashed in. Blazing Huo wanted Lu Li to come in. He thought given the fact that Lu Li was at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm, his soul would not be strong enough to stand the force of the nightmare. Lu Li would be stuck in the Nightmare of Darkness forever till death.

“Swish!”

Blazing Huo was overwhelmed by the force in nature and then got smashed away by the blood-red ray of sword light. Soon, Lu Li felt something strange was swarming into his Soul Pond.

That was something unspeakable. It was not like a soul attack. Rather, it was as if some views came to his mind directly.

He felt everything had changed in the view. From the distance came some ghosts and demons, pressing to him madly, trying to tear him into pieces.

“Go away—”

Lu Li waved the Relic weapon to attack at the ghosts furiously, but he could not move his hands at all. Many ghosts had started to tear at his body. He felt excruciating pain, and yet he could not make a sound. He thought his soul had left his body because he could no longer control his body, not even a finger.

This feeling was strange and the most horrifying!

“Buzzing~”

Finally, the silver dragon mark began to light up, and it moved about quickly in Lu Li’s Soul Pond. The strange presence of energy was being swallowed by the silver dragon. Lu Li sensed that he could take control of his body again and opened his eyes in absolute delight.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was seized with terror. He realized he was floating in the air just like other warriors and corpses.

If it were not for the silver dragon mark, he might have never woke up.

“What? How is this possible?”

Blazing Huo came from the distance and was utterly shocked to see Lu Li open his eyes. Blazing Huo just saw Lu Li floating in the air. Clearly, the latter was struck by the nightmare. How come he could regain consciousness so soon? It was incredible.

While a talent could have strong powers when young, the strength of the soul could not have increased all of a sudden.

That was impossible even for a warrior who had been consuming the best of elixirs every day. After all, how strong a soul could be in just a few decades? That was too young. How could a young talent compare to the old warriors, who had been living for hundreds or over thousands of years?

“Charge!”

When Lu Li regained his consciousness, he did not wait to swing his weapon at Blazing Huo again. He would not let Blazing Huo near him or Deaf Taoist or the latter could be burnt to death alive. That would be a great loss for Lu Li.

“Boom!”

Blazing Huo was smashed away, which made him drag his feet. He knew this was the best time to end the Deaf Taoist. That being said, Lu Li’s move was too strong. Blazing Huo did not have many black flames left. He could not fend off more rounds.

“I need to leave!”

Blazing Huo made up his mind eventually to leave. He could not stay long in the Nightmare of Darkness. Once he lost his mind, he would lose his life there as well.

Now, with the Deaf Taoist in the Nightmare of Darkness, Lu Li could not trace Blazing Huo. If the Deaf Taoist was going to be like this for several days, that would be enough time for Blazing Huo to run far away. By then, he could dissolve the stamp, and Lu Li would never find him.

Lu Li watched as Blazing Huo run away, but he could not go. If Blazing Huo teleported, not only would Lu Li lose Blazing Huo, he would get lost himself.

He had to wait here until the Deaf Taoist came back to his senses. Lu Li believed that considering his strength, the Deaf Taoist would wake up not long afterward.

If…

Deaf Taoist could not wake up within a day or two, hunting down Blazing Huo would not be easy.

Lu Li fed the Deaf Taoist some healing pellets and entered the Wicked Bead. He stayed away from the Nightmare of Darkness and waited.

Time moved on. Lu Li was losing patience. Finally, six hours later, the Deaf Taoist roared into the air and opened his eyes.

“Roar, roar~”

The Deaf Taoist was boiling with anger. He kept screaming to vent off his anger and frustration.

Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead over and said coldly, “Stop howling. Blazing Huo is going to escape from us. Change your form and get back in here. Let’s go after him.”

The Deaf Taoist swallowed his anger and changed back to his human form to go into the Wicked Bead. As soon as he dashed in, the Deaf Taoist shouted in a rage, “Lord, go to the left. I will tear Blazing Huo apart when we catch him!”
