"Mortal? Asking for Spirit Herbs?" The Dark Lord pondered for a mont and he recalled the Spirit Herbs that Lu Ting said that she was looking for.
That made it believable to him but it didn’t matter so much to him right now.
There were things that were more interesting for him.
He raised his right hand with the index finger pointed at Lu Ting.
It was ti to test Huo Fei Li on his determination with what mattered to him the most.
The Dark Lord had observed him and saw how he tried his best to let Lu Ting escape safely.
His index finger gave out the familiar dark glow again.
Huo Fei Li didn’t waste any ti.
He used his palm to push back onto Lu Ting.
The palm strike caused Lu Ting to slide ten ters away from him, leaving a trail on the ground when her feet dragged through it.
"Run!" Huo Fei Li shouted and swung his sword at the Dark Lord.
Blue glow engulfed his sword and a blue slicing wave shot at the Dark Lord.
The surroundings of the Dark Lord froze.
But the Dark Lord was unfazed.
Dark glow engulfed his body and it lashed out onto the ground and air that were frozen.
Crack.
The ice cracked into shards and flew into the surroundings.
And when the blue slicing wave hit onto the body of the Dark Lord, it was absorbed by the dark glow.
The Dark Lord turned back his focus onto Huo Fei Li and he saw that Huo Fei Li had reached into his sleeve pocket and hurled sothing into the air.
It was a jade bottle that gave out a green glow.
The green glow extended out from the jade bottle into the trees and vegetation in the surroundings.
Within an instant, the trees and vegetation seed to have a life of their own.
Vines sprouted from the ground and the tree branches grew longer reaching for the Dark Lord from above.
They tried to grab onto the limbs of the Dark Lord.
But it was futile, the vines and branches of the trees were obliterated into ashes when they touched onto the dark glow that was surrounding the Dark Lord.
However, it was another distraction from Huo Fei Li.
He had another item in his hand which was like a pill.
Huo Fei Li hesitated to use it but seeing how the situation was with all of his guards killed and his life in peril, he knew that there was no other choice.
The pill was a precious artifact that had a strand of his elder’s Sword Qi within.
As the only heir of the Huo Clan, his father had gifted it to him for use in tis of danger, and right now was the most dangerous he had ever faced.
Huo Fei Li diverted so of his Spirit Qi into the Sword Pill and he aid it at the Dark Lord.
The Dark Lord raised an eyebrow when he sensed what was coming out from the Sword Pill.
A bright glow erged from the Sword Pill and after a thunderous explosion, a bright glow in the form of a sword shot out into the distance.
Slice.
Everything that was in its way was sliced into halves.
Even the river stopped flowing due to a huge ditch that was created by the bright glow in the form of a sword.
Huo Fei Li took a deep breath and glanced in front of him after the bright glow subsided.
Much to his disappointnt, it still wasn’t enough.
The Dark Lord brushed his long black hair and nodded at him.
He didn’t say anything else before his figure turned into a shimr.
And within the next mont, he was face to face with Huo Fei Li.
"Look out!" Lu Ting who was so distance away tried to think of a way to help but couldn’t.
Her servants were urging her to escape.
"Run while we can and seek help to rescue Master Huo."
One of them suggested and the others nodded their heads vigorously for their lives.
But it was t with rejection from Lu Ting.
She had let him tag along due to her wanting the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron.
It was beyond her to leave him in the lurch and let him die out here.
"What would Ghost Hands Fong do..." Lu Ting mumbled to herself while she tried to think of sothing to help Huo Fei Li.
She tried her best but she couldn’t.
Her mind beca blank with what she saw.
Blood sprayed into the air from Huo Fei Li’s body.
The Dark Lord’s hand had plunged into his body and ca out from the back.
And the next thing she saw was the index finger of the Dark Lord give out a dark glow before it extended and shot towards her.
Her servants tried to slice the strand of dark glow coming at Lu Ting with their swords but couldn’t.
Clank.
When the blades of their swords ca into contact with the strand of dark glow, they broke into pieces and dropped onto the ground.
The dark glow beca bigger and bigger before it got near to her face.
Then, out of a sudden, the strand of dark glow turned a few inches to the side and missed.
It sliced her cheek leaving a line wound which bled imdiately.
Drip.
Blood from her cheeks dripped onto the ground.
But it was nothing compared to what Huo Fei Li had near his feet.
His blood had pooled onto the ground.
It flowed continuously from his wound downwards towards the ground.
Huo Fei Li had mustered what he could to move a step to the side, causing the strand of dark glow from the Dark Lord to veer a few inches away from his target.
He turned his head around and tried his best to have a good look at Lu Ting.
Many thoughts went through his mind and there were many words he wanted to tell her.
But he knew that nothing could be more important than asking her to escape right now.
His lips moved but no voice ca out from them.
Lu Ting gritted her teeth and she lunged at the Dark Lord.
