Chapter 958: Zhu Zhu Dayu

The sudden "corpse rising" of the mountain of flesh before him startled Li Luo, but he immediately sensed the faint vitality emanating from the other party and realized this was also a living person—just like him earlier, playing dead to dodge the attacks of those elite disciples.

Li Luo felt a bit awkward; earlier he had assumed it was a corpse, so he had used the mountain of flesh to block quite a few attacks.

Though Li Luo was embarrassed inside, he showed nothing on his face, and instead laughed, "Brother, meeting is fate—let's not fuss over such trivial details, shall we?"

At the same time, he sized up the mountain of flesh before him; the other party seemed to merely possess an extremely fat figure, and was probably not old, though admittedly far too fat.

The fat youth glared and snapped, "Fate my ass. I was hiding here just fine, hadn't taken a single hit in half a day. The moment you came running over, I got beaten into this state. Did you come here on purpose to harm me?"

Li Luo laughed, "I don't even know you, why would I harm you?"

The fat youth cursed, "Get the hell away from me."

Li Luo shook his head and said, "This ground isn't your personal property. If anyone should leave, it's you. I'm not going."

Such a fine meat shield—Li Luo had no intention of leaving, and if he moved now, wouldn't that just draw those "Flame Feathers" to attack him?

The fat youth glared viciously at the shamelessly clinging Li Luo, clearly furious. His palm suddenly swept across the spatial orb on his wrist, and an object flashed into view.

Seeing his movement, Li Luo immediately grew wary, guarding against the fat youth lashing out in desperation.

But then, when he saw what the other party had pulled out, he couldn't help but be stunned—because the fat youth hadn't drawn out any powerful killing treasure, but rather a roasted beast leg. The fat youth opened his great mouth and, in two or three bites, stuffed the beast leg into his mouth, fat dripping down the corners of his lips.

The sight of such ravenous feasting left Li Luo somewhat bewildered—had this fat youth been pushed too far?

But just as Li Luo was puzzling over it, he was once again somewhat shocked to see that, as the fat youth kept swallowing down various foods, the blood holes that had been blasted open on his body by the "Flame Feathers" were actually being repaired at a startling speed.

After roughly a minute like this, those blood holes gradually began to heal.

Such terrifying recovery power left Li Luo staring blankly, because it was simply more effective than the recovery phase arts he had performed using his own water phase, light phase, and wood phase.

Then Li Luo seemed to have a thought and said, "Brother, you're from the Zhu Li Tianwang lineage?"

Before coming, he had also read the intelligence on the Zhu Li Tianwang lineage, and only now recalled that this lineage's people were quite peculiar—because most of them were fat. The special phase affinity they possessed allowed them to gain extremely powerful recovery ability through eating.

It was said that the titled Marquis-level experts of the Zhu Li Tianwang lineage were the hardest to kill, because for them, as long as it wasn't a one-shot kill—even if half their physical body was shattered—they could ultimately recover through this healing ability.

The fat youth snorted, "At least you have some sense. My Zhu Li Tianwang lineage is not to be trifled with. Get lost."

Li Luo smiled and said, "I am Li Luo of the Dragon Fang Vein, Li Li Tianwang lineage."

The fat youth immediately faltered. He looked Li Luo over twice and said, "That new Dragon Head of the Dragon Fang Vein, Li Luo?"

It seemed he had actually heard of Li Luo's name.

Li Luo smiled and nodded.

The fat youth pursed his lips in displeasure; with things like this, he couldn't use the Zhu Li Tianwang lineage's background to intimidate Li Luo.

"My name is Zhu Zhu Dayu," the fat youth said.

"I guessed it. To have such a magnificent figure, among the younger generation of the Zhu Li Tianwang lineage, who else but that Zhu Zhu Dayu?" Li Luo said with a beaming smile.

As far as he knew, the Zhu Li Tianwang lineage considered fat to be beautiful and cared most about their own physiques.

Sure enough, Zhu Zhu Dayu immediately looked a bit pleased upon hearing this, and found Li Luo slightly more pleasing to the eye.

"Brother Zhu, how long have you been lying here?" Li Luo asked.

"Been lying here for ages. We came in with the previous batch, but those people are pretty much all dead. I didn't want to give up just like that, so I've been lying here waiting for an opportunity," Zhu Zhu Dayu said.

Li Luo nodded, just about to continue speaking, when he caught another "Flame Feather" shooting toward them from the corner of his eye. So he dropped down and watched helplessly as the "Flame Feather" stabbed into Zhu Zhu Dayu's butt, blowing open a blood hole.

Zhu Zhu Dayu's obese body trembled. He stared silently at Li Luo, just about to speak, when the latter spoke first: "Brother Zhu's physique is as majestic as a mountain, so it does attract more fire here. But given your Zhu Li Tianwang lineage's world-renowned recovery power, such a minor wound is surely beneath your notice."

Zhu Zhu Dayu was silent for a moment, swallowed back the words on his lips, and once again pulled out a big meat leg and started eating.

The blood hole on his butt also began to heal.

But it wasn't long before another "Flame Feather" came flying over.

"Boom!"

"Brother Zhu's stalwart build is the most heroic I've seen in all my years."

"Boom!"

"Brother Zhu surely has the bearing of a titled Marquis or even a King."

"Boom!"

"Brother Zhu, look at this hole—so big and round."

"......"

Zhu Zhu Dayu said with a pale face, "Brother Li Luo, can you move aside for a bit and let me catch my breath?"

Li Luo urged, "Brother Zhu, hold on a little longer. I can see the elite disciples' assault is already starting to weaken—perhaps we can counterattack very soon."

Zhu Zhu Dayu's mouth was full of bitterness. What kind of disaster star had come from where? If this kept going, his playing dead was going to turn into real death. Although their Zhu Li Tianwang lineage's recovery was astonishing, that didn't mean they were immortal.

But just as Li Luo had said, the situation was now beginning to shift. Li Li Lingjing, Qin Ying, and others had already begun steadily closing in on where those eight elite disciples were.

And those Flame Feathers filling the sky were also showing signs of decline.

Li Li Lingjing, Qin Ying, and the others all had glints flashing in their eyes. The next moment, extremely majestic and surging phase power erupted from within their bodies like a volcano.

"Everyone, attack together!"

As Qin Ying's fierce shout rang out, all those present with high-star Tian Zhu Jing strength immediately unleashed their strongest attacks.

A torrent of violent phase arts surged toward the eight elite disciples, and even the void violently trembled at this moment.

But those eight elite disciples also joined hands to form seals, and a light resembling star gauze burst forth from the crown of their heads, sheltering the area where they stood.

Boom! Boom!

The violent phase art attacks struck the star gauze, shaking out intense ripples.

Yet the star gauze never showed any sign of shattering.

The methods of these "Formless Saint Sect" elite disciples were clearly quite extraordinary.

Seeing this, Qin Ying frowned tightly, then shouted in a low voice, "Zhu Zhu, if you don't make a move now, we're all going home empty-handed today!"

"Heh, Qin Ying, you really are sharp—to think you spotted me!"

And the instant Qin Ying's voice fell, a hearty woman's laughter rang out. Immediately after, a pile of corpses not far away suddenly exploded, and a sturdy figure shot out. Eight resplendent Heavenly Pearls spun at high speed behind her as she pounced directly at one corner of the star gauze defense, her five fingers clenched tight, and she threw a punch.

Boom!

That punch erupted with an extremely violent momentum; faintly, it seemed as if an ancient giant boar were ramming into a pillar of heaven and mountain, and the very world was trembling for it.

Following Zhu Zhu's punch, one corner of the star gauze finally could bear no more, and a crack roughly a zhang wide actually split open in it.

Afterward, an elite disciple on the stone platform was struck by the impact and sent flying backward, off the platform.

And the moment that stone platform was revealed, the eyes of everyone present blazed hot in an instant—the passage had appeared!

Almost at the very same instant, energy dragon wings abruptly materialized behind Li Luo; he stamped his foot, and his figure became a streak of lightning, shooting out in a violent rush straight toward the broken spot in the star gauze.

The Zhu Zhu Dayu who had been lying on the ground groaning also revealed at this moment a speed that didn't match his fat body; his figure drifted, leaving trail after trail of afterimages.

Li Li Lingjing, Qin Ying, Zhu Zhu and the others did not rush in, however, because they still needed to maintain their resistance against the star gauze, to keep it from repairing and completely sealing the passage again.

In just a few breaths, Li Luo reached the broken spot in the star gauze. Just as he was about to rush in first, he saw a spring of water spout from the ground ahead, and Qin Yi's breathtakingly beautiful figure flashed out from within the spring, actually beating him by a step and dashing inside.

Li Luo's foot landed on the stone platform, and the scene before his eyes shifted—it seemed to be a mountain path, and at the end of the path, a golden great hall loomed faintly visible through the clouds and mist.

Li Luo's heart surged with heat; his figure flashed, and in a few breaths he had crossed the path, finally charging headlong into the golden great hall and vanishing from sight.
