The reason why Yan Li was afraid of water was related to the two painful experiences he had with water in his childhood. His fear of water was not something that could be easily overcome. As soon as the water's aura came, the strength he used to condense Sheath Edge quickly disappeared. His face turned pale, not sitting down was already the result of him trying his best to control himself.
The loss of strength caused Separation Cliff, which had condensed nine layers of Sheath Edge, to almost slip out of his hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his remaining strength to hold on, using the barrier to withstand Separation Cliff.
"Brother Yan, what's wrong?" Xue Tian Ya asked in surprise. The blade light spread out in the narrow barrier, turning large amounts of ghost fish into powder.
"This water … is poisonous …" Yan Li said with difficulty. He had to divert their attention as much as possible.
It was common knowledge for cultivators that the water of the Underworld was poisonous.
When the other three thought of Yan Li's cultivation, they understood. Many disciples like him, who were in the Enlightenment Realm, fell into a coma after being hit by the Underworld River. It was not easy for him to hold on until now.
Liang Youyu strenuously expelled the Underworld water that had seeped into the barrier, saying at the same time, "Brother Yan, continue to gather strength, I will not let this poisonous water touch you even if I die!"
Yan Li of course would not lose his fear just because of these words. But he had to pretend that he was no longer afraid, forcefully holding Separation Cliff to his waist. Because all the weight was on him, without the barrier, his body was on the verge of collapse.
The worst thing was, if he did not think of a way to kill his way out, the water aura that had seeped in would only increase. Emperor Han was responsible for restraining the Fish King that had become more violent due to its injuries, Xue Tian Ya was responsible for the safety of the barrier, and Liang Youyu was even more so. Just maintaining the barrier was exhausting for him.
At this moment, he thought of the Ethereal Light Illusion technique. Right now, this was the only technique that could allow him to temporarily recover. He couldn't care less about the backlash that would follow. He diverted his attention and allowed his mind to return to nothingness. From a macroscopic perspective, the fear he felt made him laugh.
However, he couldn't laugh, because he knew that once he retreated, he would erupt several times more. At that time, it was very likely that he would do something even more embarrassing.
The three of them were surprised to find that Yan Li's figure had suddenly stabilized. If they looked closely at his eyes, they would find that his eyes were emotionless and in a state of absolute calmness. In a state of absolute calmness, one would be able to clearly analyze the pros and cons of every situation, and would not lose the strength to hold the sword because of fear. After all, the sword was a swordsman's life.
He grasped Leaving Cliff, waited for an opportunity, and suddenly pulled it out.
Clang!
He could not see the shoal of fish very clearly, but as long as the sword light could illuminate the path ahead, it would be enough.
The dark sword light that could compete with the water of the Dark Nether River didn't howl, but it fiercely moved forward. All the Ghost Fish in its path were turned to dust, and a path without any Ghost Fish appeared in front of the four people. The nine layers of Vault Sheath had reached a new height. The escape route was empty, not because there were no ghost fish, but because there was no water. This sword had actually cut open a new space at the bottom of the Dark Nether River.
This was something that the other three couldn't do even with their True Essence, because the water of the Dark Nether River was too strong against them. This once again showed the dominance of the Taibai Sword Qi, it was not even afraid of the water of the Dark Nether River, it was simply at its peak.
The pressure on Xue Tian Ya decreased, and seeing the appearance of the passage, he sucked in a breath of cold air. "Brother Yan, this move of yours is amazing!" He had just realized that because of his special Immortal Realm, his blade art could only be used inside the barrier, and Yan Li's normal sword qi could kill those Ghost Fish, it was really unbelievable. Now, he had even torn open a new passage at the bottom of the Dark Nether River, his performance was even more outstanding than an Earth True Immortal, it could not be measured by the Impartation Realm.
Emperor Han looked at him with the corner of his eyes.
Surprise flashed across his face, but he did not say anything and fell into deep thought. A true expert was good at seizing every opportunity to enrich himself. A person like him would not be jealous of others, or in other words, he did not know what jealousy was, all the power in his life was used to surpass others, surpass himself, surpass everything.
Roar!
Just when the four of them thought that they were about to escape and their minds gradually relaxed, an abrupt inhuman howl exploded inside the barrier.
How could there be a sound under the water?
The passage in front of them was quickly occupied by a huge figure. Roaring sounds could be heard. It turned out that one of the Fish Kings had made a detour to the front. When Yan Li fixed his eyes on it, octopus-like tentacles stretched out from the fish's wide open mouth and entangled the entire Bounded Domain.
What is it trying to do?
Liang Youyu's face was filled with shock, "It is going to self-destruct!"
Self-destruct?
Boom!
"There is a Yin Crystal in the King Fish's body, it is a kind of crystal that is similar to the Weapon Crystal, when it meets an opponent that it cannot defeat, it will explode … …"
Liang Youyu's voice couldn't reach the three people's ears at all. They only saw his mouth moving until the powerful impact exploded and the upper half of the barrier was directly torn apart. Only then did he shut his mouth and couldn't say another word.
The four of them were all hit by the powerful impact, if it was not for Emperor Han and Xue Tianya using all their True Essence to resist, the bottom half of the barrier would not have been spared. Even so, they all vomited blood.
Yan Li felt pain all over his body, as if he had been stepped on by an ancient mammoth. As the top half of the barrier was destroyed, a huge amount of water aura surged in, but because he was ethereal, he did not lose his composure, instead, he was calmer and more proactive in finding a solution.
"Water!" Emperor Han warned, a light shield rose from his body, it could only protect himself. At this time, there was nothing to worry about, being able to protect himself was already a blessing from the heavens.
After all, Liang Youyu had lived to a certain age. His reaction and response could not be said to be slow. At the moment when the upper half of the boundary was torn apart by the shock wave, he did his best to shrink and twist the lower half together. When the surrounding nether water was about to pour into the boundary, he finally tightened the last gap. The result was that the space provided for the four people became extremely narrow. It was almost impossible to move or turn around.
Yan Li suddenly realized that there was no movement around him.
The sound of the ghost fish swimming, the tunnel he had created, the rolling of the King Fish, etc. It was so quiet, it was as if they had been buried in a graveyard. Was it because of the impact and the pressure of the barrier that they were hallucinating?
No, it was not a hallucination.
The four of their hearts sank, because they realized a worrisome fact.
The King Fish's self-destruction had caused them to sink rapidly, so they could not see the ghost fish around them. Perhaps this was the King Fish's goal, when the fish above and the other two King Fish caught up, only death awaited them.
Just as they were thinking, their pupils reflected the four big red lanterns that were rapidly approaching.
