Chapter 1138: The Deaf Taoist
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Deaf Taoist was notified?
While Lu Li did not react to the news, the other warriors flew into a panic. In particular, Tang was completely scared.
Powerful warriors enjoyed a long life expectancy. Generally speaking, after reaching the Noble Lord Realm, it was normal that a warrior could live for a thousand years or two. During that time, many events could happen, such as the death of an entire family. The enemy that could wipe out a family usually could not be defeated. The surviving members of such families had to swallow the pain and hide in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos to cultivate, hoping that one day, they could avenge themselves.
There were some others that might have offended powerful enemies in some places. The former could not live in their original homes any longer, so they fled to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. Cases in point would be the Deranged Taoist Pair.
More warriors had been living a long time and had enjoyed the glory and wealth, disillusioned with the mortal world. Such warriors chose to calm themselves to seek the ultimate progress.
Therefore, the number of old warriors in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was great. With a large population, it was inevitable that conflicts would break out. Sometimes, warriors intended to achieve breakthroughs in battles. Given that the warriors often fought against each other, they were well-aware of each other’s powers. For the few most powerful warriors in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, they were feared by others.
The Deaf Taoist was one of the warriors that were feared!
Someone came up with a rank of the warriors in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos based on their abilities and chose only 10 of the most powerful. They were known as the “Purgatory’s Top 10”.
Though some did not agree to the rank, it was without a doubt that the 10 people were scary.
The Deaf Taoist ranked No.4 among the “Purgatory’s Top 10”, which indicated his abilities. Lu Li’s so-called master—the Blood Emperor was in the list as well—No.3—a higher rank than that of the Deaf Taoist, which explained the Deranged Taoist Pair’s fear of the Blood Emperor.
The relationship between the Deranged Taoist Pair and the Deaf Taoist was not particularly good. But the Deaf Taoist mentioned to the public that he owed the Deranged Taoist Pair. People did not know what the Deranged Taoist Pair had done, but if necessary, the Deaf Taoist would help them out for once.
Now, the Deranged Taoist Pair was ready to cash in the big favor, which was why the warriors here were in a panic. Some wanted to escape right away in case they were killed by the Deaf Taoist by mistake...
Tang was mostly pressured!
“Swish~”
historical
That being said, those were not the things that the immortal’s body would consider. He charged toward the green-robed man who was incredibly fast. He was discharging skeleton hands and seals constantly to stop the immortal’s body from coming any closer.
“Kill him!”
Tang made up his mind. After all, one of them was killed by Lu Li anyways. Tang decided not to worry too much and deal with this one first.
“Hoy~”
Tang shouted. Heavy rain poured down. The rain formed a curtain in the air. Water took shapes of dragons and charged at the green-robed man, encircling him.
Tang’s water-related Profound Meaning was the most annoying. It could slow the enemy down, and unable to get away from it like a clingy, fussy fly.
The green-robed man was angered to be entrapped, as the immortal’s body approached. He bellowed, “Tang, leave and when the Deaf Taoist arrives, I will spare your life. Or you will definitely not survive.”
The green-robed man was trying to turn Tang and Lu Li against each other. The green-robed man hated Lu Li the most at the moment. He could let Tang live for now, and the urgent matter was to stay alive.
Tang had lived for so many years and his experience would have been wasted if he fell to this trap so easily. His expressions did not change at all and continued to use the Profound Meaning to attack.
“Swish~”
Because of Tang’s help, the immortal’s body was faced with less pressure. Finally, he was close enough to the green-robed man. The immortal’s body punched at the latter. The fast move caused an extremely unpleasant sharp noise.
“Buzzing!”
The green-robed man took out a flag and he waved it. The flag danced in the air and curled up, covering up the immortal’s body and Tang. The immortal’s body did not hesitate and strike at the flag. The green flag was torn apart. But in that instant, the green-robed man lit up in a red glow and he dashed back for several miles.
Lu Li casually observed on the side. He did not intend to take action at all. Besides, he wanted to learn from the means of those warriors. The immortal’s body was fast. No matter what the green-robed man could do, he would not be able to escape the immortal’s body.
The immortal’s body went after the green-robed man and Tang used dragons of water to try to stop the green-robed man. He then discharged more skeleton hands and seals to try to stop the immortal’s body. Clearly, the green-robed man was trying to buy some time and wait for the arrival of the Deaf Taoist.
Some warriors were here to watch the fight secretly and moved to the distance for they did not want to be implicated.
Some bolder ones stayed. They looked at Lu Li with curiosity and wondered—why wasn’t Lu Li moving at all? Was Lu Li not afraid of the Deaf Taoist at all when it was clear that the younger brother of the Deranged Taoist Pair was stalling to wait for the Deaf Taoist to get here?
The warriors then came to terms with Lu Li’s choice, recalling his moves and the Relic armor and weapon he had, not to mention the immortal’s body. Lu Li could kill Yan Zhen. Why would he be afraid of the Deaf Taoist? After all, Yan Zhen was the most powerful in the nine universes.
“Bang~”
In the air, the immortal’s body smashed a Quasi Relic shield the green-robed man threw out into pieces. Taking the chance, the green-robed man discharged some skeleton claws and then used that secret skill to facilitate his escape.
“So many treasures!”
Lu Li followed them slowly, still, not going to do anything. He was eager to find out how many treasures the green-robed man could take out for the immortal’s body to destroy.
The green-robed was losing patience. He would throw a glance into the distance every now and then. He was not sure that the Deaf Taoist was here at the Prison of Ice. If not, he could not arrive in time to save the green-robed man.
Time moved on. After the time for one incense stick to burn, the immortal’s body once again drew the distance close. This time, there was no more treasure that the green-robed man could come up with. He had to reach out a skeleton hand at the immortal’s body. At the same time, the former bellowed, “Lu Li, just wait and the Deaf Taoist will kill all your families.”
“Bang!”
The immortal’s body punched at the green-robed man. The latter’s arm was broken bit by bit. Eventually, his body was blasted into pieces and he died.
“Stop—”
At that same time, an old voice burst out in the air. The warriors observing in the nearby area flew to the sides in complete fear.
“Buzzing~”
The air was trembling. Then a black halo came out in the air, from which walked out an old Taoist wearing a grey robe and holding a horsetail whisk.
“The Deaf Taoist!”
Tang threw a look to this man’s ears which were all cut off. Tang was sure of the identity of this man.
Tang flew to stand behind Lu Li and whispered, “Lu, this man is the Deaf Taoist, No.4 of the Purgatory’s Top 10. He is strong. Be... careful.”
Lu Li nodded, still having that smile on his face. He looked at the Deaf Taoist but said nothing.
He did not know the past between the Deranged Taoist Pair and the Deaf Taoist. But since the three of them had a past and the Deaf Taoist wanted to protect the Deranged Taoist Pair, then as Lu Li was concerned, the Deaf Taoist and the Deranged Taoist Pair were birds of the same feather.
The Deaf Taoist walked out from the dark halo. He took a look at the immortal’s body and then the crushed green-robed man, and eventually Lu Li. The Deaf Taoist said, “I know that those two have questionable personalities, but I am indebted to them. So, when they are killed, I cannot stand by. Young man, I am going to kill you. Do you have any last words? Don’t worry. I am a man of principles and I will not harm your families.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li laughed as if this was the best joke he had ever heard. He shook his head. “Hey, since you know black from white, take this advice from me. It’s not easy that you can reach your current stage. Leave. Don’t bring destruction to your achievements and life!”
