Chapter 122 How can you expect me to stay calm!
On the interstellar network, the viewers also realized what was happening.
[Holy crap, what? Isn't that the legendary Envoy of Abundance who destroyed Cangcheng?]
[The Five Warriors of the Clouds are actually going to attack the Envoy? That's incredibly powerful!]
Wait, speaking of which... Lu Li was there too?
[I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out, but... holy crap, Lu Li was involved in this great battle too? Why isn't there any record of it in the history books?]
History books always gloss over this great battle, only saying that they "paid a heavy price" to defeat it. Today, we can finally see what really happened back then.
Speaking of which, back in the Kafka arc, Lu Li was also a Commander at the end... I've noticed that Lu Li not only has a strong connection with the Demonic Yin Body, but also with Commanders.
[…Could you please stop telling creepy jokes at a time like this?]
I probably already guessed the ending, after all, of the five elite warriors in the Cloud Realm, only... remains.
[Definitely not! After all, Lu Li is there too. Our God of War will definitely unleash his full power, just like he did with Kaffa!]
[Waaaaah, my Kaffa, my Ali...]
Please, please win!
Please, please, it has to be a happy ending! I don't want to be heartbroken anymore!
……
Under the tense gaze of the audience.
The images on the sky finally started rotating again.
The night before departure.
The Lord of Never Sleeps.
It was the same private room, and the same six people.
But the atmosphere was much more somber than last time.
"Suddenly... that's the Envoy of Abundance."
Jing Yuan frowned, his usual relaxed expression gone. "Although General Teng Xiao will also lead the Cloud Cavalry into battle this time..."
"But to be honest... this battle will probably be very difficult."
"What's there to be afraid of!" Bai Heng slammed his hand on the table, declaring with boundless confidence, "With the six of us joining forces, what kind of enemy can't we defeat!"
Don't be too optimistic.
Danfeng shook his head. "The power of the envoy far exceeds our imagination."
"We have to fight even if we can't win," Ying Xing said coldly, wiping his sword as he spoke. "We can't just watch those monsters destroy the immortal ship."
Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Lu Li remained indifferent, pouring himself a drink.
"Lu Li, why aren't you saying anything?" Bai Heng nudged him.
"What did you say?" Lu Li took a sip of his drink. "Haven't you all said what you needed to say?"
"Anyway, if a fight breaks out tomorrow, you guys can hold the line, and I'll just follow behind and do nothing."
"You bastard!" Bai Heng puffed out his cheeks in anger.
Everyone knew he was joking, and they smiled helplessly.
Only Jingliu watched him quietly, then suddenly spoke.
"Will you draw your sword this time?"
Everyone fell silent and looked at Lu Li.
"Should we draw it?" Lu Li thought for a moment, then smiled. "We'll see."
"I'll reconsider when you can't beat me anymore."
That sounds arrogant.
But when he said it, no one thought it was wrong.
Because of the long time we've spent together, especially the sparring match between Lu Li and Jing Liu last time.
They all knew that this seemingly lazy man actually possessed unfathomable strength.
……
After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed.
Lu Li and Jing Liu walked side by side under the night sky of Luofu.
The planet Venus twinkled in the night sky, casting a cool, clear light.
"Are you confident about tomorrow?" Lu Li suddenly asked.
"No," Jingliu answered crisply.
Even she wasn't entirely confident of victory when facing enemies at the Envoy level.
"That settles it then." Lu Li shrugged. "If you can't win, run. Don't force yourself."
"Where there's life, there's hope."
Jingliu stopped and turned to look at him.
"Can you run?"
"Of course." Lu Li shrugged. "After all, I don't want to die."
Jingliu looked at him in silence for a moment, then suddenly said, "If I fall into demonic possession, will you... kill me?"
This problem caused the air to freeze instantly.
The smile on Lu Li's face also disappeared.
He looked into Jingliu's clear yet stubborn eyes and remained silent for a long time.
"Won't."
After a long silence, he slowly uttered two words.
"Why?" Jingliu asked, puzzled. "Those with demonic bodies are ruthless and will only bring destruction and disaster."
"You should know that if I were to truly succumb to demonic possession, I would no longer be myself."
"Because..." Lu Li reached out and gently flicked her forehead.
"Although we haven't formally become disciples, you can be considered my apprentice."
"Although I'm not a very good teacher."
"But how can a master let his disciple surpass him?"
Jingliu covered his forehead and froze.
The spot where Lu Li's fingertips touched was still slightly warm.
Along with that little bit of warmth, an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.
That was a feeling she had never experienced before.
It brings more joy than comprehending the essence of swordsmanship while practicing, and more satisfaction than defeating a powerful enemy.
But looking at Lu Li in front of him...
For some reason, I feel even more lonely.
"Let's go back." Lu Li turned around and waved.
"I have to get up early tomorrow."
Watching his departing figure, Jingliu stood there motionless for a long time.
under the moonlight.
On her cool and aloof face.
For the first time, a very faint smile appeared on her face, one that she herself did not even notice.
And this scene... became the final straw that broke Kafka's back outside the sky.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, Kafka smashed the coffee table in front of her to pieces with a single blow.
"Lu—Li!"
She gritted her teeth as she uttered the name, her eyes filled with boundless rage and... murderous intent.
Lu Li glanced at Kafka, who seemed to be furious, and then at the coffee table she had smashed.
Lu Li: "..."
No, he'd wanted to ask that for a long time.
In the original storyline, Kafka's appearance was a projection created by Silver Wolf, right?
Putting aside the fact that the projector smells of perfume... it could shatter a coffee table with a single blow.
Are you sure this is a projection, and not the real person coming to the scene?!
Or did Kafka have Silver Wolf add some kind of high-tech enhancement when projecting the image of him for this meeting?
Lu Li fell into deep thought.
Startled by this sudden turn of events, March 7th screamed and quickly moved away from Lu Li, hiding next to Xing.
star:"……"
Xing silently distanced herself from Lu Li, leading March 7th away, demonstrating what it means to scatter in times of trouble.
Dan Heng silently looked away.
Yes, he can fight.
But let's forget about a chaotic situation...
Fortunately, Himeko and Welt did not "abandon" Lu Li.
The two men immediately stood up, looking wary.
"Ms. Kaffa, please calm down," Himeko said in a deep voice. "This is the Star Train, not a place where you can run wild."
"Calm down?" Kafka slowly turned her head, her wine-red eyes a mixture of madness and reason. "How can you expect me to calm down?"
"He flicked that woman's forehead!"
He also said she was his apprentice!
Kafka pointed at the sky, her voice trembling slightly with anger.
"But he's never treated me like this before!"
