Chapter 491: Quasi Relic
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Enemies came fast. There were 43 from the Feathered Race. Actually, they were lured over by the warrior from Samsara Palace, which meant they wouldn't slow down even if they wanted to.
Jiang Qiling was itching to try. Jiang Hu and others were in ready positions as well. However, Lu Li winked at them to let them sit tight.
Now that Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu had stated so boldly, they must be allowed a chance to demonstrate their powers. Lu Li could use the opportunity to witness the strength of disciples from 12 Royal Families.
Ji Mengtian signaled others to hide in the woods nearby to avoid spooking the Feather Race away. Then she turned to Die Feiyu who flew out with more than 10 warriors.
All of them were Noble Lord Realm warriors from the Palace of Blossoms and most of them were female. They all rode on their Beads of Life with Die Feiyu at the front. She was fearless and the other warriors with her were confident, too. They stayed right behind her.
"Swish, swish~"
The Feather Race began their attacks. Endless arrows poured down like constant heavy rain, enveloping the more than 10 warriors.
Armors appeared over the 10 warriors' bodies. Those armors were so strong that they could shield against the rain of arrows. The 10 warriors unsheathed their weapons to stop the Feather Race from getting closer.
"Ji Yuan, close them up!"
Inside the woods, Ji Mengtian said in a low voice. More than 10 warriors from the Ji Family moved to the left, right and the back respectively, closing in on the Feather Race.
Ji Mengtian didn't ask Lu Li and Jiang Qiling to make a move. Her intention was clear. This battle didn't need efforts from Lu Li or Jiang Qiling. Ji Mengtian could finish this with Die Feiyu at ease.
Lu Li had no desire to act himself. He sat casually in the woods, observing the fight. He was confused at the fact that Die Feiyu had brought out so many warriors with her. Was she not afraid that some of them would die?
Die Feiyu and her warriors were approaching the Feather Race. All of a sudden, the Feather Race warriors spread out. Since they had wings, they were too fast for Die Feiyu and others to catch up.
"Hoy, hoy!"
Die Feiyu and the others gathered together in a circle to release attacks to all directions. But none of them could succeed since the Feather Race was exceptionally quick. Arrows were still pouring down. Every now and then, someone would be struck.
Those warriors were wearing Heaven Grade armors. However, Feather Race's arrows were sharp and powerful. Many warriors found their armors cracked and some even had internal bleeding because of the shock.
"Buzzing~"
A black glare came off from Die Feiyu's neck and then she began to glow in green. A green shield covered the more than 10 warriors with her and a couple of Feather Race that were nearby.
"How…"
Lu Li was shocked by what he saw. In the green light, everyone's injuries were healing at a fast speed. One of the warriors had a broken hand and he could not lift his arm. But now his arm was healing in a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the other hand, those of the Feather Race that were enveloped by the green light slowed down and began to feel sick. Their vitality was sapped and they were thrown into panic.
"What kind of Bloodline is this? It's so impressive!"
Lu Li turned to Jiang Qiling who was not surprised and explained in a low voice, "This is called Source of Life, unique Bloodline of the Die Family. No matter how serious your injuries are, you can heal as long as you are in the Halo of Life."
Jiang Qiling added, "Also, this Source of Life can hurt enemies and take their life force away. If this group of the Feather Race is covered for an hour, they will turn into mummies and we don't even have to fight them."
"Taking away life forces?"
Lu Li stuck his tongue out in surprise. The Wood Origins Bloodline of the Song Family had similar abilities but clearly, Die Family's Source of Life Bloodline was more intimidating.
Now he understood Die Feiyu and Ji Mengtian's plan. Die Feiyu was out to draw attention from enemies and Ji Mengtian was leading her team to close up to the Feather Race and kill them all.
However…
Judging by Die Feiyu's status, Lu Li thought it would be hard to kill those of the Feather Race. Who would act as the main attack force?
Lu Li turned to Ji Mengtian who smiled gently and said, "Young Master Lu, Lady Jiang, please wait here. I will go and kill those alien races."
Jiang Qiling said nothing. Lu Li answered with a smile, "Take care, Lady Ji. I will be waiting for your return of victory."
Ji Mengtian smiled again as a reply. Then she kicked on the ground with one leg and hopped onto her Bead of Life, flying away like a fairy.
"Temptress!"
Jiang Qiling pinched Lu Li's arm because she noticed that he had been staring at Ji Mengtian and said angrily, "What are you staring at her for? Do you have feelings for her?"
Lu Li couldn't help but laugh when he turned around and saw how cute she was when she was angry. He patted her head and said, "There, there. I want to see how she is going to kill our enemies."
Jiang Qiling's anger vanished as Lu Li's hand patted her. She put on a sweet smile and sat to his side. He turned his attention to Ji Mengtian.
Ji Mengtian flew her way over and stopped when she was about 300 feet away from the Feather Race and Die Feiyu. In her hand there appeared an emerald green vase with a willow twig in it.
"This vase…"
Jiang Qiling's eyes were filled with excitement. But Lu Li didn't see anything different even though he observed it carefully.
Ji Mengtian made a move. She put the emerald green vase on one hand and poured Xuan Energy in with another. Soon, the emerald green vase began to glow, brighter and brighter. Everyone's attention was attracted.
"It really is!"
Jiang Qiling said. Her breaths shortened.
Lu Li's expressions turned solemn as well. He felt a surge of strange qi coming from the vase. Somehow, he felt suffocated as if darkness was going to fall. He felt oppressed and flustered.
"Swish—"
That willow twig suddenly enlarged. Then it whooshed out in a blur into the crowds of Feather Race.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, before Lu Li and others could see it, one of the Feather Race warriors fell with his body covered in blood as if he had been smashed down by a Bead of Life.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang~"
As more muffled sounds rang, one after another of the Feather Race fell. Those smashed away could not even let out a cry of misery before death. They all died within one second with badly mutilated and blood-covered bodies…
"Hiss, hiss!"
Lu Li gasped. Finally, he saw it clearly. It was the willow twig which only stroke on the Feather Race like a gentle breeze. But one after another of the Feather Race had died with no exception. All of them died in one move.
"Shoo-doo~"
The remaining of the Feather Race were shocked. They screamed and fled to all directions. However, more warriors from the Samsara Palace flew up and stopped those fleeing Feather Race.
"Whoosh!"
That willow twig moved on. It kept coming after and killing the Feather Race like a ghost demanding for life. In the time for a few breaths, at least half of the Feather Race were killed and the remaining ones could not run away now. The dice was cast.
"This is no Holy Grade Xuan Artifact!"
Lu Li murmured, staring at the vase. He had seen Holy Grade Xuan Artifact before. Jiang Qiling had one of those but that one was not so mighty.
"No. This is Quasi Relic!"
Jiang Qiling exclaimed with envy, "So I see Ji Mengtian is named the future master of Samsara Palace by default. The Samsara Palace only has two pieces of Quasi Relic in total. It's surprising she can bring one in."
"Quasi Relic?"
Lu Li's doubt was resolved. Anything in the world that had anything to do with an "ancient god" was nothing usual.
Ji Mengtian had demonstrated her power to Lu Li without using her Bloodline Skill. With this piece of Quasi Relic, she could make a clean sweep at the small battlefield.
