After midnight

White clouds hung low over the emerald green beech trees, drifting in the wind among the rolling hills. Looking through the gaps between the trees, Lu Li could not find any trace of people in the distance.

Song Yu had lost his trace as soon as he entered this nameless mountain. He and Lu Yuan had searched for him for a long time but found nothing. It was almost noon, and Lu Li had lost his temper for once.

"Let's go down the mountain." Lu Li said.

"I think so too." It was quiet all around and Lu Yuan had a bad feeling.

They turned around and headed down the mountain quickly, but after they had walked a few steps, a figure flashed past.

"Song Yu." Lu Li shouted and chased after him.

With two swishes, the ice cone passed by his face. Lu Li stopped and found that the man was in a 69 position.

"Is it you?" Liu Jiu glanced at Lu Li and Lu Yuan who was catching up from behind.

"Sixty-nine, where is Song Yu? What on earth are you guys plotting?"

"How would I know where Song Yu is? If you come here to find me, you will die." Liu Jiu said as he rushed over with pure power in his hand.

"Back off, Lu Yuan." Lu Li stared at him carefully, wanting to use his special ability to easily retreat. But Lu Yuan didn't listen. His mission since childhood was to protect Lu Li, the young master of the Lu family. He also used pure power to move forward with a knife. I don't know how much of the "Son of God" Liu Jiu can learn, but he is not a weakling.

Lu Yuan faced Liu Jiu head-on, and the leaves of the beech tree rustled as they fought back and forth.

Seeing that Lu Yuan and Liu Jiu were evenly matched and could still fight, Lu Li stepped aside. It was a bit strange. The tense battle between the two sides made Lu Li's brain work rapidly. It was not just a bit strange, but it was strange from beginning to end. They were like fish biting the randomly thrown stuffing, swimming around with the hook on the enemy's fishing rod.

Song Yu deliberately exposed his whereabouts.

Lu Li figured it out and quickly looked around. Having dealt with Song Yu for so many years, he knew a little about Song Yu's temper. Song Yu must be around, but he looked at Lu Yuan again.

In just a few minutes, Lu Yuan was in a tough fight. Every move of Liujiu was fierce, attacking his vital points. When the sword swept towards him, Lu Yuan seemed to hear the clanging sound of the sword. It was like a thunder hidden in it, and if you were not careful, you would be struck by five thunderbolts.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and met Liujiu's eyes, which looked like some kind of wild animal. Yes, like a wolf, like a lone wolf.

"Lu Yuan, be careful, left."

Lu Yuan immediately moved away to the left, and the sword blade of pure energy that attacked from the right missed him in front of his wide-eyed eyes.

Lu Yuan had already dodged, but Liu Jiu refused to believe it and continued to launch a series of attacks on Lu Yuan.

"right."

"Back off."

"right."

"left."

"It's now!"

Lu Li continued to stare at him, and Lu Yuan also cooperated with him tacitly. The last sound fell, and with a hissing sound, the skin and flesh were torn apart, and bright red blood flowed down along the torn cotton wool. Lu Yuan looked at Liu Jiu proudly. The tacit understanding between him and Lu Li was not comparable to that of ordinary people. And this is the most powerful part of Lu Li, always one step ahead of others.

Liujiu was unwilling to give up. He wanted to come again but Lu Li called out to him, "Liujiu, tell me where Song Yu is?"

"I said I didn't know."

"You know." Lu Li said loudly, "We only want Song Yu's life. I think you got it wrong from the beginning. We are not here for you."

"I do not believe."

"You have to believe it. If you do, you can go down the mountain now. If you don't, we can only let Song Yu continue to watch Le He."

Lu Li's words were so straightforward that Liu Jiu finally stopped what he was doing. "What do you mean?"

"It means you can go down the mountain now." Lu Li didn't have time to explain to him how stupid they were. He stared at his surroundings. Swish! At this time, hard clods of earth rolled out from the dense forest, startling the stone dragon vines climbing around the trees and shrinking their branches and leaves.

"Six-nine, you can't bear to hear the enemy's words. Think about it, who else in the world can tolerate you except me? Didn't we want to lure the enemy into the trap last night? This person is here now."

After hearing this, Liu Jiu looked at Lu Li again.

There is no point in saying more. What most people say is not the same as what they do. Under Liujiu's gaze, Lu Li rushed towards Song Yu first.

With a loud bang, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and the trees tilted everywhere. Lu Yuan glanced at Liu Jiu and followed Lu Li helplessly to charge in the direction of Song Yu.

Song Yu felt a little interested. This Lu Li really came for him. Why?

At this moment, in Lu Li's hands, the leaning tree, which was about to collapse, stood firmly in the crack of the earth.

"Why?" Song Yu asked. He couldn't remember how he had offended this young man from the Lu family.

"You also participated in the murder of Lin Nuan's parents." So that's what happened. The power of love can really make people blind.

"Then you have to think about it carefully. It's not that easy for you to kill me alone."

"I've thought it through, and it's not up to me alone." Lu Li replied.

"Then who else? Lu Yuan? Lu Yuan's pure energy is quite scary, but he can't beat Liu Jiu."

"Six Nine, you stay and join hands with me to kill them. I promise you that after you kill them, I will return to the Song family and be the head of the Song family. And you, I will ensure that you can go wherever you want from now on. Six Nine, do you hear me?"

Liu Jiu heard it, and he looked at Lu Yuan. He was not interested in Song Yu's promise. He didn't want to figure out who lied to him. He just wanted to do things according to his own will, that is, after killing Lu Yuan, he would go to where he should go, leaving Song Yu behind, because they might catch up with him soon after killing him.

Liujiu touched the glass bottle in his pocket and waved to Lu Yuan.

"You are injured, you can leave now. I will listen to our young master and will not chase you." Lu Yuan blocked the pure energy blade with a blue glow with his backhand.

"That sounds nice." Liujiu said as the sharp blade suddenly lengthened.

The two who possessed pure abilities were locked in a stalemate, while Song Yu was discussing with Lu Li in high spirits. "Do you really want to kill me? Why don't we let each other go and save each other's life?"

"Not good. Didn't Song Hongtian also kill Lin Yaoyue? You are here today just like your father. You will definitely not have a good ending."

"I have to pay for the sins committed by this old man."

"You've done no less than he has."

"Then I am much luckier than him." Song Yu said, tearing a deep crack in the land. In an instant, several beech trees fell to the ground, revealing their dark purple branches that were supposed to be buried deep under the yellow earth.

If this continues, the variety of these destructive and deadly weapons will increase as the land is divided.

Lu Li reacted quickly and pulled out the branches that had just separated from his body, gathered them together and attacked Song Yu.

Like a dive into the seaweed in the deep sea, after a dull gurgling sound, the dead branches and leaves entangled with the soil fell to the ground. As the saying goes, repairing the plank road in the open while marching through Chencang in secret, Lu Li's plan is not to attack from a distance but to fight in close combat.

While the broken wood was still on the ground, Lu Li swiftly crossed the mess and reached the other side of the shattered battlefield. The broken pieces of earth were entangled and fell to the ground, and Lu Li's afterimage flashed across the crooked and twisted land behind him, and his feet stepped onto the intact land under Song Yu's feet.

Lu Li swung the round pointed stick towards Song Yu with his backhand.

Song Yu dodged hastily. The stick or spear in Lu Li's hand changed its shape at will, allowing him to use it at will. At the most critical moment, it brushed past his nose by a millimeter. In horror, Song Yu retreated while struggling to make the scar on the ground deepen sharply.

Finally, Song Yu uprooted the entire piece of land, and tiny particles fell into the criss-crossing gullies.

The dirt clods came at Lu Li from behind, either fast or slow, but Lu Li dodged them one by one as if his back had grown another pair of eyes. Lu Li dodged and said, "You've become weaker, Song Yu."

"I guess the wound An Yan left on you when Song Nan died has not healed yet. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so weak."

Song Yu did not answer, because Lu Li had hit the nail on the head. He had come all the way to find Liu Jiu because he needed a shelter, but at the same time he did not want Liu Jiu to have it too easy.

He was too contradictory. Song Yu's needs and wants were never the same thing. When he gave in to his wants, he got the result he got now. He exposed the fact that the heavy blow An Yan had brought to him could not be stopped until now, and it was far from over.

Lu Li stared at Song Yu's heart carefully. People who knew Lu Li knew that he was mild-tempered and not an aggressive person. Even in battle, he was defensive, but this time he was resentful and worried, so he got anxious. He broke the last soft and weak clod and vowed, "Song Yu, I will not let you live until tomorrow."
