Chapter 364: The Night of Rain and Flow
Little Lu Li looked through the window and felt the thick murderous intent in the air. Combined with the chill from being drenched by the rain, the young boy couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, the senior sister had already moved away the debris piled up in front of the window at the back, took little Lu Li's hand, lifted him up, and sent him out of the window first, then turned over and followed.

"I won't leave. I want to help Master!"

In the rain, Lu Gui held Lu Li's hand, but Lu Li stood still as if his feet had taken root.

Lu Gui slapped little Lu Li on the face, "Wake up, you are shaking so much, Master asked me to take you away!"

Little Lu Li was unable to dodge the slap due to his stiff body. The cold rain splashed on his burning face, making him feel dizzy.

While little Lu Li was hesitating, Lu Gui pulled his hand and ran towards the back mountain.

At this moment, a figure flew out from the side of the wooden house and hit a big tree.

Following closely behind was a spinning flying axe, which accurately hit the man's head, shattering the alloy armor on his forehead and embedding the axe head into his forehead.

In the rain, Lu Feng's figure fell as if gliding, holding the wooden handle of the axe with one hand, and yelled while turning his head, "Don't stand there, run!"

The girl held Lu Li's hand, tears in her eyes, "Master——"

She saw that her master's left rib was bleeding, obviously he had been hit by some weapon.

Little Lu Li also discovered that his master was injured. Being too young, he had no idea who were the people attacking them, nor did he know why his family, who had always been peaceful, were being hunted down by these monsters wearing exoskeletons.

"Master, let me help you."

Little Lu Li exerted force again, trying to break free from his senior sister's hand and go to help.

However, the senior sister was surprisingly strong today, as if she had used up all her life's strength, and she held his wrist tightly.

Just as little Lu Li was about to argue with his senior sister, he saw his master suddenly rushing towards them. The speed was something he had never seen in his master's footwork teaching.

The master was seen walking through the rain with an axe for chopping wood, leaving behind blossoming water lotuses. As he passed by them, Lu Li finally heard the sound of breaking wind.

The spear pierced through the gap between him and his senior sister, and the sound of an axe chopping flesh was heard. A few drops of blood splashed onto the girl and boy's faces, and were instantly washed away by the heavy rain.

The headless body in front of Lu Feng fell down. He held up the axe and flexed his wrist. "You are so damn tough. Be obedient and run quickly. With you guys here, the master can't do anything."

While little Lu Li was in a daze, Lu Gui had already pulled him up the mountain. Looking back, he could only see many steaming figures surrounding the slightly old man.

"Hu-hu-hu-"

It was very tiring to walk through the jungle during a rainstorm. All I could hear were the tired breathing of the girl and the boy, and the crackling sound of the rain hitting the leaves.

Rumbling--

Thunder exploded in the sky, and with the light of lightning, Lu Li could clearly see the girl's pale face.

The face of the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl also showed fear and anxiety, as well as worry about the safety of her master. Tears and rain were mixed on her face. Because she was in a hurry to clear the way, her face was scratched by thorns and had lost its former tenderness. The blood from the wound had stopped flowing, but instead appeared to be turned outward and white.

"Ah Li, follow me closely, don't be afraid, I will definitely get you out."

"Ah Li, don't worry about Master. Even though he seems unreliable, he is very powerful."

"He will come to find us at daybreak. Then we can go to a new place. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see the sea? Let Master take us to the seaside this time. Then we will have plenty of fish to eat every day."

"Ah Li, do you think Master has defeated them? Is the noise behind him Master?"

"Ah Li, I know you are scared, but I am here. Didn't you say you were hungry before? I will find you some midnight snack after we get over this mountain."

"A Li..."

On the way of escape, the girl kept talking, and little Lu Li only occasionally looked at the girl's face in the light of lightning.

As a young boy, he was indeed frightened by the sudden bloody fight, but how could his senior sister be any better than him?

The girl was just as scared and terrified, even more so than the boy, which was why she kept talking, even forgetting the rule of keeping her breathing steady during long journeys.

Her physical strength was far inferior to that of the boy, but she still insisted on leading the way ahead because she was older than the boy and more familiar with the mountain.

She was so scared, but she wanted to protect the boy behind her. She said encouraging words and imagined a bright future. She didn't know whether it was to comfort the boy or to numb herself.

whoosh-

The silver blade cut through the night sky, parted the rain, and pierced into the girl's back, terminating her words.

"Ah... Li?"

She looked back in a daze, and when lightning flashed across the sky, she met the gaze of her junior fellow student behind her and saw his frightened eyes.

Little Lu Li saw the tip of the sharp blade protruding from his senior sister's chest. The gushing blood was washed away by the heavy rain, just like the rapidly fleeting life. No matter how tightly he held the other's hand, he could not prevent the already predetermined outcome.

Just like sand slipping through your fingers and drifting away in the wind.

The girl's body fell weakly and she collapsed in the thorn bush. Blood continued to flow out of her mouth and her ruptured alveoli made it impossible for her to breathe.

She just used up her last bit of strength to pull the boy before she fell, then let go and let him continue forward, "Run..."

A true separation always comes unexpectedly, so fast that one cannot leave any last words or express all the longing.

The boy did not run following the pulling force, but fell to the ground, kneeling in front of the girl, looking at her eyes which were gradually losing their luster.

He covered his senior sister's chest with one hand, but he could not stop the gushing blood, just as he could not bring back the lost life.

The boy looked up at the sky. Right below the gaps in the trees, the rain was like a waterfall, as if all the rain in the world was falling on them.

"It's really good at running. I wanted to capture it alive, but there's still one alive. It should be enough to use as leverage."

A voice was heard from the darkness behind.

A man wearing exoskeleton armor walked out of the forest. Driven by high horsepower, the thorn bushes in front of him could not stop him at all. In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of Lu Li and the other man.

Because of the exoskeleton, the man's figure appeared very tall, over two meters. Standing next to Lu Li, he was like a giant demon looking down at a tiny baby.

"Tsk, what bad luck! My newly customized flying knife is not meant to kill this kind of trash. If possible, I want to use Lu Feng as the first target to see blood."

The man leaned over and stretched out his hand wrapped in a mechanical arm to take his throwing knife from the girl.

When he bent down, the boy did not move, and he assumed that he was frightened. Considering his age, he thought it was normal. But when his hand touched the girl's body and wanted to pull out the flying knife, something surprising happened.

Because his hands could neither move forward nor backward.

Due to the poor visibility in the dark and rainy night, he thought for a moment that the exoskeleton was malfunctioning. After all, it was not a high-end product, so it was possible that something malfunctioned.

But the next moment, lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating what was in front of him, and he saw that a hand was holding the buckle in front of his mechanical arm.

The hand was not big, and at first glance you could tell it was definitely not an adult's hand, but more like a child's hand.

The strange thing is that it was just such a small hand that pulled the buckle that was difficult to exert force on, which made his entire arm unable to move forward or backward. It was as if a large hydraulic press was restraining the parts of his arm.

The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and the wind was howling, like the roar of a demon from the ancient abyss.

Under the flashing thunder, the man followed the hand upwards and saw the boy looking up at him.

Those were a pair of dark purple eyes, revealing a breathtaking beauty and a weirdness that could evoke endless fear.

At this moment, he felt as if he was staring into the abyss.

"Hey, hey... Who on earth is Lu Feng..."

He whispered in surprise, increasing the output of his exoskeleton while reaching for the weapon rack behind him with his other hand to pull out a new dagger.

click-

However, the next moment, a shattering sound was heard, and the mechanical arm that was held by the little boy began to crack, and the crack then extended to the entire arm.

Metal fragments flew everywhere, and the boy jumped up at the same time, his eyes as fierce as a mad lion cub.

In the jungle, the sound of metal and flesh colliding continued. After just a few moments of fighting, the boy's attack destroyed the enemy's chest armor.

Sensing the crisis, the man no longer dared to regard the boy in front of him as an ordinary person. He jumped back at full speed and shot out a flying knife at the same time.

bang bang bang-

The boy dodged all the flying knives and they stuck in the tree trunks.

The small figure quickly moved through the jungle under the cover of darkness, and every clash would take away a piece of armor from the opponent.

"What the hell are you!?"

The man shouted in horror. He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes.

The reason why they dared to come and besiege Lu Feng was that compared to twenty years ago, technology was more advanced, and they also chose to integrate with the times. With the help of the power of exoskeletons, they were no longer traditional warriors, but ultimate warriors with transcendental power.

But the little boy in front of him overturned his cognition. That was not something that could be explained by martial arts. The power erupting from the other's body could even rival his exoskeleton armor!

No one answered him in the rainy night, only the cub's mad attack.

boom--

The man's body hit the giant tree, his chest pierced by his own dagger, and the light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

After stabbing the dagger into his opponent's heart, the boy seemed to gradually lose his strength and sat down on the ground in dejection.

There was no place on his body that didn't hurt. He just crawled on the mud with difficulty, trying to crawl to where his senior sister was.

"What a loser, to be knocked down by a kid."

A voice was heard in the darkness, and several figures broke through the woods and arrived at the battlefield.

Little Lu Li didn't look at those people, he just climbed hard. He had no strength left, but he wanted to crawl to a place where he could feel warm in the cold rain.

The men in exoskeleton armor stepped forward and tried to capture the still-living boy.

Rumbling--

But what made several people change color was the sound of the earth shaking. Because it rained too heavily tonight, a mudslide occurred!

For a moment, they didn't care about capturing Xiao Lu Li and they all ran for their lives.

But in the face of the power of natural disasters, no matter how good the exoskeleton armor is, it cannot save their lives if it cannot fly.

The mudslide flowed down, burying all the blood and sorrow.

A few days later, the soil in the sand and gravel pile of the mudslide shook, and a small hand stretched out from it.

"what--"

This roar of grief and hatred resounded not only in the memories, but also in the battlefield of Hueco Mundo.

The fatal memory fragments directly cleared out most of Lu Li’s life value.

At the critical moment, he recovered in time to keep his health up, and at the same time he swallowed the only item he had that could restore his life force.

The deeper the memory, the greater the harm it can cause to him. The memory of this soul note is undoubtedly Lu Li's most unbearable and profound experience.

The reflection of the soul shows memories that are clearer than his perception in the confused state at that time. Time cannot take away the pain, but will make people's obsession deeper because of sedimentation.

Lu Li shed two lines of blood and tears as he roared. He thought he had let it go a long time ago, but how could he let go of these things?

Did he really kill all his enemies?
Is revenge really all he wants?
After his revenge, all he felt was emptiness and no longer caring about the world.

But he actually wanted that care, wanted the warmth of fighting for food around the fire at night, wanted the time to compete with his senior sister during martial arts training, wanted to see his master make a fool of himself when teaching...

He originally had no place to go, but after being picked up by his master and senior sister, he finally had a place to go.

What he really wanted was to take back his home, not to kill all his enemies.

With the expectations of his master and senior sister, he wants to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, but he also wants those two to witness his growth and to reverse the tragedy that happened in the past.

In sorrow and hatred, Lu Li moved forward in the vortex of soul notes, and killed the soul singer at all costs.

He still has so many things to do and so much resentment to overcome, so how can he lose here?
