Chapter 1285: Pupil-less Monkeys
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Pupil-less Monkeys were famous in southern Divinity. Lu Li did not know because he had not come here for long.
Pupil-less Monkeys were born a.s.sa.s.sins and this was their profession as well. They never came out unless they had taken on a.s.sa.s.sination tasks.
Therefore, wherever the Pupil-less Monkeys were, there would be deaths. When one saw Pupil-less Monkeys, one would know that either he or she were the target or someone else around was the target of an a.s.sa.s.sination.
Usually, they would not come out to the society and people would not go to their habitat, either.
It had been at least a million years since the Pupil-less Monkeys appeared in southern Divinity. They had murdered too many people. A lot of powerful warriors tried to locate the Pupil-less Monkeys but n.o.body could find their habitat.
The Pupil-less Monkeys had branch offices in some major cities. The offices were just some buildings with no one inside. People should just put the information on the target of a hit in the building as well as enough Divine Sources. The Pupil-less Monkeys would take actions as soon as they accepted the task and they would repay the price in double if they could not finish the task.
If Lu Li knew about the Pupil-less Monkeys, he would understand at once that the a.s.sa.s.sins did not come for the Chamber of Relics, but… him.
The Chamber of Relics was never arrogant. Over the recent ten thousand years, the Chamber of Relics did not start a feud with any other major forces. The ones that could hire the Pupil-less Monkeys must be a large force because they had to risk offending the Chamber of Relics and the price would be high.
When big forces were to make decisions, there were many things they should consider. After all, offending the Chamber of Relics would be the beginning of a feud.
But Lu Li killing Ling Feidu was already sowing seed for hatred…
Even if all the Pupil-less Monkeys were to be captured, they would not cough up the ones who hired them. This had been proven by experience over a million years. If Ling Wanjian were the one to hire the Pupil-less Monkeys, he needn't worry about being exposed.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
Lady Dan, Long Yunhai, and the others were smashed away one by one. They were all still breathing but had been injured. They were so scared that they began to run away from this place. Lady Dan, together with some other young ladies, dashed into the depth of the mountain where patriarch could come to their rescue."Bang, bang, bang~"
"Run!"
Lu Li was afraid to stay. What if another group of Pupil-less Monkeys was to burst out from underground? He thought quickly. He remembered the group of Pupil-less Monkeys had snuck out from the depth of the mountain so he charged toward a different direction.
He made no noise and floated about in the mountain and soon left this area.
He sensed danger in that mountain. With so many Pupil-less Monkeys in there, he could not linger on.
He was three hundred miles away from the mountain now. He found a cave randomly and hid there. He wanted to go to Patriarch Gu and the others after the battle had
"Bang~"
Right at that moment, Lu Li felt the ground trembled and then a Pupil-less Monkey broke free and tried to stab at him.
"This Pupil-less Monkey is strong, like a mighty warrior."
Lu Li knew he was faced with fatal danger like never before. This Pupil-less Monkey was too horrifying. Lu Li tried to move away, only to find that he was moving slowly because he was overwhelmed.
"Bang~"
The dagger landed on Lu Li. He felt a mountain had pounded down on him. Though he was wearing supreme Relic armor, he could tell that many bones on his back had been fractured and he was suffering internal injuries. He was smashed away.
"Swish~"
The Pupil-less Monkey chased after him like a flash and stabbed at Lu Li's head. The pupil-less eyes were filled with coldness. Lu Li felt chilled.
"Their target is me!"
At the moment, Lu Li finally came to this realization. Just now, they were attacking Lady Dan and the others just to distract the patriarchs. The Pupil-less Monkeys that came at Lady Dan and Long Yunhai were not strong. But this one here was 10 times more powerful than the other Pupil-less Monkeys!
"Buzzing~"
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead to let out the immortal's body. Instead of attacking the Pupil-less Monkey, the immortal's body held Lu Li in his arms and used his back to s.h.i.+eld of the strikes from the Pupil-less Monkey.
"Clank, clank~"
The dagger landed on the immortal's body's back, making a m.u.f.fled noise and some sparkles. The immortal's body was not weaker than a supreme Relic armor. To harm the immortal's body was almost impossible.
"Whoosh~"
The Pupil-less Monkey came by quickly. Before Lu Li could react, his chest was stabbed. Again, he felt he was being pressed down by a mountain. His bones were cracking and all of his internal organs were hurt. Blood oozed out from his mouth. At the moment, he felt he was close to death.
That Pupil-less Monkey did not use any powerful skills or Profound Meanings. Just the speed and strength had consumed all hope for Lu Li. He would be killed soon if he could not find a way out.
"Buzzing~"
The Wicked Bead glowed as he dashed in. The immortal's body held onto the Wicked Bead in one hand and punched at the Pupil-less Monkey with another hand.
At the same time, Lu Li crushed the jade talisman that Patriarch Gu gave him. He wanted to buy some time. Would the Wicked Bead stay strong now that it was in the hand of the immortal's body? He would be safe when Patriarch Gu came.
But it was Lu Li's wishful thinking…
The Pupil-less Monkey's dagger and the immortal's body b.u.mped together. Then, using another hand, the Pupil-less Monkey slapped the immortal's body's arm. The immortal's body could not help but tremble and the Wicked Bead was thrown away. Lu Li wondered what the Pupil-less Monkey did.
"Bang~"
The Pupil-less Monkey smashed away the immortal's body forcefully and then turned over to fly to the Wicked Bead. The Pupil-less Monkey struck it over a dozen times.
"No… the energy is running away fast!"
Lu Li exclaimed upon checking. He knew he must strike back or else the Wicked Bead would be breached.
He took out a piece of Blood Crystals and send out the warlord skeleton. This was the one last piece of Blood Crystal and it was valuable. But Lu Li had no other options now.
"Buzzing~"
The Wicked Bead glowed and the warlord skeleton came out. Dark glare rose around the warlord skeleton and a pair of skeleton hands were reaching toward the Pupil-less Monkey.
"Buzzing~"
"Well?"
The Pupil-less Monkey was striking the Wicked Bead when a skeleton appeared. That skeleton was terrifying. The Pupil-less Monkey felt his heart skipped a beat and then he stabbed at the skeleton hands with the dagger.
"Bang~"
Some sparkles rose. The skeleton's hands were fine but on the other hand, the Pupil-less Monkey's arm was ripped into pieces after the warlord skeleton grabbed him.
"Hiss, hiss~"
The Pupil-less Monkey gasped as the skeleton hand ripped more and more of his arms into pieces. The Pupil-less Monkey stepped back at once. This was risky for him. All of him would be ripped apart by the warlord skeleton if he stayed on the spot.
"Buzzing~"
Lu Li came out again and let the immortal's body went back in. Then, he put away the warlord skeleton which was no longer moving into the Wicked Bead.
He knew that this was dangerous. He could still lose his life if the Pupil-less Monkey were to return.
"Howl~"
From the distance came a sharp noise. Lu Li felt a psychic power he was familiar with. It was from Patriarch Gu. Lu Li felt glad that he had come out from the Wicked Bead in time or else the immortal's body and the warlord skeleton would all be exposed.
"Do you think you can run away?"
Soon, Patriarch Gu noticed the fleeing Pupil-less Monkey. Patriarch Gu made up his mind. He took out an oval object and threw it toward the Pupil-less Monkey.
"Lightning Trigger?"
Lu Li's mouth twitched. He ran away as quickly as he could because this Lightning Trigger was said to be able to eliminate super-mighty warriors…
