Liu Yiqian's body was surrounded by a water shield at this moment. He looked like a skeleton pulled out from a fire scene, looking exceptionally miserable.
He glanced at the surrounding sea and swam towards an underwater valley with all his might. His body was swaying, and the two water shields protecting him were compressed to the limit. They were somewhat unstable, and his whole body seemed like it would fall apart at any time.
The valley wasn't very deep, and there were even deeper trenches around it. Towering underwater mountains were everywhere around the valley, and the underwater plants floating in the water made the underwater valley look very hidden.
Suddenly, a greyish-white shark more than ten meters long drilled out of a large patch of seaweed and rushed towards Liu Yiqian with ferocious teeth and a fierce gaze.
Liu Yiqian's body was badly mutilated. Although he was isolated by the water shield, a trace of his blood qi still seemed to have seeped into the water and attracted the attention of the predators in the sea.
He was actually treated as prey by a shark, and even this unremarkable beast dared to bare its teeth at him at this moment.
"Beast, you also dare to court death …" Liu Yiqian cursed in exasperation. He raised his hand and shot an icicle at the shark.
But it was unknown whether the shark was too agile in the sea, or Liu Yiqian's mind and divine power were somewhat lacking, but he lost his aim. The icicle was originally going to penetrate the shark's head and body, but in the end, it only brushed past the shark's tail, leaving a two-chi long gash on the shark's tail.
The shark was injured, and became even more violent. It bared its sharp teeth and bit towards Liu Yiqian.
Liu Yiqian clenched his teeth and dodged the shark's attack. When the shark opened its mouth and rushed towards him for the second time, he shot a second icicle and pierced the shark's mouth.
The shark's mouth and body were pierced, and it slowly sank into the sea with blood gushing out.
Liu Yiqian panted and quickly left. After a while, he found a cave with a shoal of fish swimming in the mountain range at the bottom of the sea. The cave was more than a meter tall and was hidden behind a patch of rocks and seaweed. He swam directly into the cave. After entering the cave for a hundred meters, the entrance of the cave extended upwards. After extending for another hundred meters, the space inside the cave suddenly widened and turned into a slightly rugged gourd-shaped cave.
There was nothing else in this cave except for some rocks and a few glowing fish at the bottom of the sea.
Liu Yiqian let out a sigh of relief at once. He then took out a bead flickering with blue light from his space-teleportation equipment. The moment he took out the bead, the water and the small fishes in the mountain cave were all pushed out of the mountain cave by an invisible force. The entire mountain cave became dry at once. Even the stones were dry. The faint blue light covered the space of dozens of meters in the mountain cave. Although there was seawater outside the space, the seawater couldn't pour in.
Liu Yiqian placed the Water-Repelling Bead on a rock in the cave, and then took out a bronze formation plate and placed it at the entrance of the cave. After activating it, the whole cave suddenly changed. A misty fog covered the seawater outside, and a thick wall appeared around the cave. After this, the underground cave became the most secretive secret chamber.
After doing all this, Liu Yiqian spat out a mouthful of blood that he had been holding back in his throat. He sat cross-legged on a clean rock in the cave and gasped. He didn't even have time to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth. He took out a few pills from his spatial equipment and swallowed them. Then he closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, slowly waiting for his body to recover.
Liu Yiqian had been seriously injured in the battle with Golden Moon Temple Master. Although he hadn't died, his body and secret mandala were on the verge of collapse. Especially at the last moment, when Liu Yiqian took out the Void Divine Thunder, he didn't expect Golden Moon Temple Master to also take out a Void Divine Thunder. Both of them were seriously injured at the same time.
If his body could still hold on, he would have run a little further before stopping. But now, this was his best choice.
The pills he took were indeed useful. In just a moment, the skin on Liu Yiqian's broken body began to regenerate little by little. The wounds that were bursting with blood also stopped bleeding.
…
Only ten minutes later, Xia Pingan appeared outside the cave where Liu Yiqian was hiding.
Previously, Xia Pingan was still a little worried about Liu Yiqian's current battle strength. But when Liu Yiqian killed the shark, he revealed his true strength. Liu Yiqian probably couldn't even display one percent of the strength of an Eight Sun Realm expert. He was seriously injured and weak.
Now was the best time to kill him while he was sick.
This valley was chosen by Liu Yiqian. This guy was still so cunning. According to ordinary people's thinking, even if he escaped to this place to hide, the nearby trenches would be the best place to hide. But he did the opposite. He found a cave in an underwater mountain range and hid in a place that wasn't as deep and hidden as the trenches.
If someone really came here to find him, it would be even harder to find him here.
Xia Pingan entered the cave and quickly swam to the cave where Liu Yiqian was hiding.
The glowing fish swam around in the water like an invisible wall that separated the inside from the seawater. Behind the wall was a rolling fog that prevented people from seeing the situation inside. Even if an ordinary summoner entered here and saw the strange scene in front of them, they probably wouldn't dare to barge in rashly.
However, Xia Pingan did not have any misgivings as he stepped into the mist.
…
In just a blink of an eye, everything in front of Xia Pingan's eyes changed completely.
Above his head were huge and sharp icicles. Thousands of icicles hung down like sharp swords that would fall at any time. It was a daunting sight.
On the ground was a raging sea of fire.
Ice and fire blended here.
Between the fire and ice, there was a thick, rolling fog.
This was the situation in Liu Yiqian's disk array.
Xia Pingan entered the array and watched with narrowed eyes. He released his perception and formed hand seals with both hands, quickly calculating.
This was the Great Ice and Fire Maze Array …
Xia Pingan stepped toward the Life Gate. The icicles in the sky and the burning flames on the ground instantly approached.
Something was wrong. As the array changed, Xia Pingan immediately discovered the changes to the checkpoints and array eyes on the array disc. The array disc had even reversed the Seven Absolutes and sealed the Gate of Life. Life was death, and death was life. With the addition of the Maze Track, the killing intent was unfathomable. If someone who knew a little about arrays came in, they would have fallen straight into the pit.
More importantly, this array was divided into two layers. The last layer was the foundation of the Eight Checkpoints Golden Lock, which reversed the Life Gate and Death Gate.
If someone else came here, even if they knew about arrays, they would probably be trapped here. Unfortunately, this array met Xia Pingan — the outstanding youth that Mr. Wolong appreciated, the successor of 《Kunlun Array Mechanisms Collection》.
Xia Pingan closed his eyes. A few minutes later, Xia Pingan opened his eyes again with a smile on his face. For an array master, breaking arrays and constructing array discs were both a kind of pleasure. When you were breaking an array, you would have already learned the structure of the other party's array disc in your mind.
The array master who created this array disc could be considered a top expert. However, he could still understand and break the Yin and Yang changes of this array disc.
Then, Xia Pingan stepped into the raging flames beside him.
An icicle above his head suddenly fell down, but it stopped three feet above Xia Pingan's head. The raging flames that swept over also seemed to have met their nemesis. When Xia Pingan stepped out, the flames disappeared where his foot landed.
Xia Pingan walked out of the array as if he was taking a stroll. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the flames, unharmed.
…
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan quickly stepped out of the array and appeared in the cave.
Liu Yiqian was still sitting cross-legged on the ground like a vegetable. Liu Yiqian would never have thought that someone would silently break into the cave he was hiding in in such a short time.
The moment Xia Pingan stepped out, Xia Pingan made his move. Xia Pingan pointed at Liu Yiqian and a bolt of lightning struck Liu Yiqian's head.
Liu Yiqian's body was burning with electricity. The part of his skin that had just healed was carbonized again. His entire body was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. He screamed miserably and blood spurted out of his mouth as if his intestines had been pierced. The divine power core that had just condensed in the secret mandala completely collapsed.
The next second, Liu Yiqian's body was bound by demonic vines that emerged from the ground.
Liu Yiqian finally opened his eyes. He didn't see anything. He only saw a summoned giant leaping up in the air and facing him with its butt. It sat down like a mountain. The giant's huge buttocks smashed down on his head and body like two doors.
Butt!
F * ck!
Liu Yiqian didn't even have time to curse.
"Boom …"
Liu Yiqian was directly smashed into the ground by the giant's butt. His entire body was embedded in the rocks on the ground. He spat out blood and his face was sunken. The bones in his body that had just healed were all broken again. He completely fainted and lay on the ground like a pile of mud, unable to move anymore.
The giant's palm grabbed Liu Yiqian's head. As long as it exerted a little force, it seemed that Liu Yiqian's head would be twisted off.
Xia Pingan calmly walked over. Looking at the unconscious Liu Yiqian and the blood all over the ground, he frowned slightly and said, "So ugly!"
At this moment, Liu Yiqian no longer looked like a human. Not a single inch of his skin was intact, and his head was bald without a single strand of hair. He no longer looked like an immortal. He looked like a monkey who had just escaped from a fire in a slaughterhouse after losing all his hair.
"An Eight Sun Realm expert is quite lucky. He actually didn't die!" Xia Pingan touched Liu Yiqian's nose and found that this guy was actually still alive despite being so heavily injured.
"Isn't it a bit of a waste to kill him like this …" Xia Pingan stroked his chin and pondered. Looking at the unconscious Liu Yiqian, Xia Pingan's gaze suddenly became strange and dangerous. A strange smile appeared on his face …
"A monkey huh …" Xia Pingan's voice sounded in the cave, followed by a low chuckle.
