The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 374: Killing a Patriarch

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

What happened today was strange. Lu Li was sure that there must be some kind of conspiracy involved. Of course, whether this was true or not, he wouldn't want anyone to hurt Lu Feixue.

There were more than 10 clones of Lu Li and he had released his Blood Claw. He had his eyes on Patriarch Li who paid no attention to him. As far as Patriarch Li saw it, Lu Li, a warrior that had just reached the Fate Wheel Realm, was no different from a puny insect.

Patriarch Li had heard rumors that Lu Li once destroyed one of Qiu Wenze's hand. But rumors were rumors. Qiu Wenze was acknowledged as a playboy so Patriarch Li didn't quite believe that.

"Young Master Li, move, I don't want to hurt you by accident."

Patriarch Li shouted angrily. He might have the courage to kill Lu Feixue but not to kill Lu Li. After all, Lu Feixue was a lady with a bad reputation and she was the initiator of what happened today. Lu Li was different. He was Lu Renhuang's son and the grandson of the Family Patriarch. Patriarch Li dared not to vent his anger on Lu Li.

Patriarch Li swung his long sword in a way as if tens of thousands of willow leaves were dancing around. It was such a blur. Strong psychic powers might be able to see where the sword actually was, but Lu Li had no such ability.

Patriarch Li was moving very quickly. He rushed through the more than 10 Lu Li in a streak of light. He thought that he was so fast that Lu Li couldn't have a timely response.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Soon, Patriarch Li realized that he was wrong. Lu Li's Fate Wheel moved and he made his way close enough to Patriarch Li easily. Lu Li and his clones all rushed over at the same time.

"How can this Fate Wheel be so fast?"

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were surprised by the speed. Patriarch Li felt more than a dozen silver beast claws were trying to scratch at him. His expressions changed a little but he was not quite fearful. He swung his sword and covered himself up. He wanted to shield off this attack and then smash Lu Li away.

"Crack!"

Patriarch Li's Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact sword was cracked by the silver Blood Claw, which greatly shocked him. The silver claw pressed on and destroyed Patriarch Li's arm. He screamed in pain while his blood spilled in the sky.

"Will you leave or not?"

The more than 10 Lu Li were still surrounding Patriarch Li. Lu Li's silver eyes were beaming coldness. If Patriarch Li didn't fall back, he would be killed right away.

"No, and I will drag you with me to death!"

Patriarch Li became more violent. He forcefully smashed his Bead of Life towards Lu Li in an attempt to kill him.

"Buzzing~"

Ming Yu made a move. He had released his Bead of Life for a while now and he used Force right away. The injured Patriarch Li didn't know that Ming Yu was going to make a move. Lu Li and Patriarch Li were both contained by the Force.

But Force disappeared after only a second. Lu Li already knew that Ming Yu was going to make a move so he was not in a panic. He and Ming Yu cooperated very well. As soon as the Force reduced, Lu Li reached out for Patriarch Li's head.

"Bang!"

Patriarch Li had one crushed arm and he couldn't react fast after Ming Yu used his Force. His head was crushed right away.

A headless corpse fell into one of the artificial hills. It collapsed. Patriarch Li's headless body kicked up some dirt.

It was deathly silent. Family members of Patriarch Li and escorts standing outside were freaked out. The thing had gone completely out of control since Lu Li killed a patriarch of the External Clan.

Lu Li showed no emotions. As far as he was concerned, killing a patriarch of the External Clan was no different from killing an average warrior of the Noble Lord Realm. He had given Patriarch Li a chance, but the latter didn't grab it. If Lu Li didn't kill Patriarch Li, the one dead now would be Lu Li.

"Father!"

Patriarch Li's three sons yelled. They rushed down, hugged Patriarch Li's body and cried their tears out. One of them suddenly thought of something. He took a signal detonator out from his chest pocket and threw it to the sky.

"Boom!"

The signal detonator exploded and lit up half of the Mystic Armor City. It was a dark night with dim moonlight and few stars. The signal detonator stood out in the night sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

From all directions, many people dashed over and all of them were at least at the Noble Lord Realm. There were somebody more powerful at the south. Those were of the Human Sovereign Realm.

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen threw each other a look. They brought Lu Feixue and came over to Lu Li. Things had spun out of control. The four of them could be buried here today.

Lu Li had similar feelings. When he saw no other patriarch was coming over from the Mystic Armor Mountain, his heart was weighed down with disappointment.

This must be a scheme. Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four and Patriarch Five must have been relocated, otherwise, they couldn't have been so slow to respond.

Maybe…

Lu Li had a suspicion that Patriarch Li had accepted death on purpose so Lu Li and Lu Feixue both committed felony in the city in public.

The Lu Family owned the Mystic Armor City but once a member of the Lu Family committed serious crimes, he or she must be punished severely. Otherwise, the Lu Family couldn't calm everyone down in the city or quench the anger of the patriarchs of the External Clan!

What had been done couldn't be undone. Regret wouldn't get them anywhere. Lu Li stood in midair coldly, waiting for what might ensue.

"Whoosh~"

More than a dozen powerful warriors made their way over and there were more coming from the distance. Already, more than a thousand escorts were gathered and they blocked the nearby streets.

"What had happened?"

From the south came a shout from a thick eye-browed old man who soon arrived. His qi and energy were so powerful that people felt suffocated. Needless to say, he was a Human Sovereign Realm warrior.

The several warriors of the Noble Lord Realm who arrived earlier took a look at the yard and one of them said, "Patriarch Feng, Young Master Li killed Li Yuan!"

"Patriarch Feng, you must right the wrong for our father."

Patriarch Li's three sons flew up, knelt down on their Fate Wheels and kowtowed to Patriarch Feng. One of them cried and said, "Lady Feixue put on a killing spree at our house and then Young Master Li came and killed our father. Patriarch Feng, if you don't make this right for us, all of us from the Li Family will hit our heads at the Mystic Armor Mountain and we will not be able to live in this world."

This Patriarch Feng was the one in charge of defense and security of the Mystic Armor City which was utterly crucial. Patriarch Feng must be enjoying a very high status at the External Clan.

In every family, there were Internal Clan, External Clan, and Guest Clan. Those in the Internal Clan were disciples of the family and they were the core forces. In the External Clan, there were powerful warriors that were supported by the family. Usually, External Clans were not to be taken lightly. This Patriarch Feng was at the Human Sovereign Realm and he seemed to be more powerful than Lu Fenghuo. It was understandable that the Li Family would want him to be a judge.

Patriarch Feng threw a cold and furious glance to Lu Li and asked, "Young Master Li, are they telling the truth?"

Lu Li returned the cold glance. He didn't answer. Instead, he put on a mocking smile and said, "Patriarch Feng, you are in charge of the matters at the Mystic Armor City? I have a question for you… why were you not here just now? Why did you come right away after I killed Patriarch Li? You are in on this, aren't you?"

Psychic powers from warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm were so strong that Patriarch Feng must have known everything happening in the city. What was more, there must be at least more than a dozen Human Sovereign Realm warriors at the External Realm. How could it be possible that none of them realized something was wrong when Lu Feixue was killing people?

Patriarch Feng left Lu Li's questions unanswered as well. He shouted angrily, "Since Young Master Li admitted that you have killed Patriarch Li, then there is not much left to say. Some come and take the four of them down. Put them into prison and we will wait for the return of Family Master."

"Family Master?"

Lu Li mockingly smiled. So it would seem External Clan was not the only party in this scheme. Lu Zhengtan took part as well.

Lu Li suddenly understood it all. Previously, Lu Suan and Lu Ni were so quiet and Lu Zhengtan left Lu Li alone. Were they making plans for today?
