Chapter 987 A Fierce Battle

In the ruins, Elena and Li He stood facing each other as a blue laser shot out of Elena’s eyes.

Li He quickly raised the cudgel in his hand to block the laser, but the cudgel was burned red.

Li He felt a burning pain in his palm, but he could only grit his teeth and maintain his stance.

“At least for now, your laser can’t break through my weapon!”

The weapon in his hand was one he was most proud of—Absolute Black!

The pitch-black cudgel was forged using the rarest materials, which allowed him to defend against Elena’s laser.

Still, Li He still found it hard to believe that Elena could burst out with such astounding power just after her awakening.

In the past, those who awakened their talent after the age of 18 needed to grow for a period of time before they could obtain any combat strength.

Even if it was an S-Level talent, there was no way that it would overpower any veteran cultivator just after their awakening.

They all needed to increase their strength to unleash their talent slowly.

However, Elena’s astonishing performance left Li He dumbfounded.

It was also precisely because of this that he had to bring Elena back. Otherwise, she would be a huge variable in the future!

Such a cultivator had to stay in the Ember Empire and be used by the empire.

If she left with Lu Yu, it would be a massive loss for the Ember Empire.

After Elena’s laser shot ended, she charged at Li He without a word.

Seeing this, Li He immediately fled in a panic, as he didn’t dare fight with Elena head-on.

Just now, when Elena charged at him, she rammed down a villa and turned it into ruins.

From the fight just now, he knew that Elena’s fighting strength was on par with his.

He quickly retreated a distance, and just as Elena was about to rush up, Li He swung his cudgel at her!

Bang!

The cudgel hit Elena’s shoulder and sent her flying.

Elena was sent flying and knocked down a few trees before slowly stopping.

Seeing this, Li He couldn’t help but lament, “She shouldn’t be dead, right? Killing a disaster-level beast with this cudgel of mine shouldn’t be a problem, after all.”

He quickly rushed toward Elena.

At the same time, the Empress, who had been hiding for a long time, finally emerged and pressed her dagger against Ben’s neck.

“You dog, you’re smart to ambush us. However, you’ll die today!”

Ben quickly raised his hands and said, “Wait, don’t kill me. As long as you spare me, you can do whatever you want. I won’t stop you.”

At this moment, Lu Yu walked over. The Empress looked at Lu Yu and asked, “How should we deal with this guy?”

“Of course we’ll kill him, but not now. Let’s tie him up.”

Upon hearing this, the Empress obediently took a rope and tied Ben up.

She also helped Helen and Shirley untie their ropes.

After the two of them stood up, they rubbed their arms. They were tightly bound by hemp rope, and it was uncomfortable.

“Where’s Elena?” Helen asked. “Is she alright?”

She looked into the distance. In the ruins, Li He seemed to be looking for something.

“That bastard isn’t weak. I was almost crippled by him when I met him.”

The Empress said it with lingering fear. Fortunately, she had escaped fast enough. Otherwise, she would have been seriously injured and fallen.

“Is he so much stronger than you? Could he be a cultivator above Starlight? That’s rare.”

“Above Starlight are Moonlight and Sunlight. I don’t know what level it is above that.”

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. “I haven’t tested my strength for a long time. I don’t know how strong I am now. However, I have three divine artifacts, and that alone would make it hard to measure my strength.”

Lu Yu’s current strength was probably at the peak of Starlight. Coupled with his Dragon God Bloodline, his various dragon claws, and his three divine artifacts, his actual combat strength was unknown.

“Elena is so strong. She just finished her awakening not long ago, but she has such powerful combat strength. I saw her fight with Li He back and forth to a draw.”

The Empress commented with surprise.

Lu Yu also nodded in amazement. “Yeah, such talent is rare. I’m sure it’s hard to find one in ten million years.”

“After we awakened our talent, we had to cultivate for a long time to reach our current strength.”

Upon hearing this, the Empress shook her head slightly and said, “That’s not necessarily true. Although she has obtained extremely powerful strength instantly, she has too many special abilities. If she starts to cultivate, it’s very easy for her to encounter a situation where she doesn’t know which she should focus on.”

“Therefore, I’m sure her growth will be slower than others.”

While they were discussing, the battle on the other side got increasingly intense.

Elena raised her hands, and fireballs condensed in her palms, shooting toward Li He.

Li He quickly dodged, and the fireballs landed on the ground, causing a violent explosion.

The flames soared into the sky, and the sea of fire spread. The villa became like a war zone.

Li He dodged repeatedly, occasionally using his cudgel to defend himself from Elena’s fierce attacks.

“Continue. Let me see if your stamina can keep up!”

When he hit Elena’s shoulder with his cudgel, she healed almost instantly.

If he couldn’t deal with her in one hit, she could heal herself instantly.

After Li He continuously dodged, the frequency of Elena’s attacks finally decreased.

Li He looked around and found himself in a sea of fire. It was as if Elena had created hell.

Lu Yu quickly summoned the Water Spirit Dragon and prevented the flames from reaching them.

The continuous explosions at the Orlando family’s villa made the people living nearby flee in a hurry, not daring to approach this area.

For a moment, the surroundings of the Orlando family’s villa became empty, and no one could be seen.

Li He was holding his cudgel tightly, bending over slightly as he panted.

He didn’t expect Elena’s physical strength, battle strength, and stamina to be this strong.

“What a monster! She monstrous!”

Li He exclaimed in disbelief.

At this moment, Li He suddenly realized that Elena had disappeared.

He quickly looked around, but he couldn’t find her.

He instantly panicked.

Where was she? Did she escape? If she were to escape and the Lord found out, he would definitely be blamed!

Panicking, he picked up his cudgel and began to look around.

At this moment, Elena quietly appeared behind him.
