In Shadow's career as an assassin, there were many examples of the weak defeating the strong. Even the Divine Domain, which was known as a super expert among human cultivators, had succeeded. Shadow had spent nearly two years to gather intelligence and another half a year to conceal himself before finally accomplishing this feat before he was on the verge of death.
But today, the target he was trying to assassinate could not compare to that expert of the Divine Domain in any aspect. But what he had thought to be a simple assassination was just a little girl that could be succeeded with a little trick, yet he was caught off guard by an unforeseen event.
Faced with the Rain Rain Bell hanging over his head and the divine light that hung down like threads, he realized that he had gravely underestimated this immortal tool that had disappeared for several centuries. He was very sure that the target was in a state of exhaustion and had yet to generate new strength, so it was impossible for her to have any strength left to activate the immortal tool. Thus, this was the immortal tool automatically protecting its master.
Because he was in a highly concentrated state during the assassination, the Rain Rain Bell seized the opportunity to imprison his entire body, turning him into a fish on the chopping block.
The sudden change in the situation allowed Ji Zhiyuan to catch his breath. With a shift of true energy, several peach blossoms shot out. These peach blossoms were naturally not ordinary peach blossoms. They were lethal weapons condensed from a force field and a large amount of true energy. To deal with demons, one had to shatter the heart, so these lethal weapons were aimed at Shadow's heart.
But just as Shadow had not expected the Rain Rain Bell to automatically protect its master, the peach blossoms unexpectedly missed. Ji Zhiyuan seemed to hear something slicing. She instinctively sensed extreme danger, and without thinking, she somersaulted backward, landing several zhang away.
"You have very sharp senses," Shadow said with a surprised smile. "You must have many questions. Why can I still counterattack you when I am imprisoned by the Rain Rain Bell? But I won't tell you. " Of course, he would not tell Ji Zhiyuan that he had a treasure called Shadow Blade. The only ability he had bestowed upon the treasure was the Shadow Body Technique. In other words, it was a treasure that could use the Shadow Body Technique. Moreover, he did not understand why the characters in many stories would voluntarily expose their abilities to the enemy, and why, afraid that the enemy would not be able to break them, would attach a great deal of explanation.
Unfortunately, Ji Zhiyuan's expression didn't change at all.
After dodging two fatal assassinations, Ji Zhiyuan was finally injured. Rain Rain Bell was forced to return to its master's side and could no longer confine Shadow.
Obscurus was about to join the battle when he heard a whistling sound. Without hesitation, he used the Shadow Body Technique and disappeared.
The sword light missed and immediately stopped. It stood still in the void, as if observing its surroundings.
"Miss Zhi Yuan, are you alright?"
Wei Shu formed a sword with his fingers and continued to control his sword. At the same time, he focused on searching for Obscurus.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Senior Brother Wei," Ji Zhiyuan replied.
"Don't get entangled with him. We need to leave this place immediately," Wei Shu transmitted.
Ji Zhiyuan nodded. The two of them were on high alert as they retreated to the top of the hill.
Obscurus didn't continue to chase. He recognized Wei Shu's sword and knew that he was a disciple of the Imperial Sword Peak. Among the seven branches of the Court Of Sword, the disciples of the Imperial Sword Peak were the most difficult to assassinate. This was because the thirty-six sections of the Imperial Sword Technique, "Everything Has Its Strengths, But Everything Is Short," could perform many sword techniques that were hard to defend against. Moreover, Ji Zhiyuan had the Rain Rain Bell, so he wasn't absolutely confident.
However, when his subordinates caught up, he immediately led his men to chase after them.
…
"Yan Li, how can we escape if we run like this?"
Wen Ziqing was burning with worry as they approached the top of the snowy mountain. He saw that many Ghost Clan soldiers were already one step ahead of them and were outflanking the peak under the leadership of their generals.
The others had the same doubts, but they didn't dare to ask. After all, Yan Li was their benefactor who had found the Fire Leech's tears and saved their lives.
"As long as you listen to me, I can escape with you." Yan Li swung his sword and killed several Ghost Clan soldiers who were not afraid of death. "I don't think you are so stupid that you don't know why Li Xueyi captured you."
Of course, everyone had already thought of the answer, so they could only run with their heads down. Not long after, Wei Shu and Ji Zhiyuan caught up.
After running for a while, You Qi suddenly stopped. "Judging from the terrain, it should be here!"
Yan Li raised his hand to signal for them to stop. He looked around. This was a slope that was still some distance from the top of the mountain. There were a few withered trees that were half buried in the snow scattered around. He looked at You Qi and said, "Are you sure?"
"Hmph, my Dragon Seeking Skill is not something a swindler can compare to." You Qi proudly pointed around and said, "This is the place where the Nine Returns to Five, the Heavenly Stars are separated, the Earth is in the middle, and the Heaven and Earth are in the north. This is the sign of the Dragon Aura hibernating. This must be the direction of the Underworld River.
I can't be wrong! "Yan Li couldn't get in touch with Xiao Pojun, but when he thought of You Qi's ability to accurately bring him back to the Frozen Mountains in the complicated underground maze, he decided to trust her judgment.
However, just in case, he still asked her, "What does the Nine Returns to Five mean?"
Wen Ziqing interrupted, "Brother Yan, this is a term of Divination in the Book of Yi. Master Yi advocates the natural transformation of all things in the world. From the finite number to the infinite number, there are nine stages of evolution. Back then, the devil world had suffered a destructive blow and was no longer as strong as before. As a result, the nine evolutions no longer existed and became known as the Hidden Nine. However, even if this process no longer existed, the dragon qi still existed. Therefore, returning to five was a position in algebra. Brother Yan, why are you looking for the Underworld River? Is it related to whether we can escape or not? "
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat and he continued to ask, "From the finite number to the infinite number, what are the nine stages of evolution?" He could instinctively feel that the Patriarch's words, "Nine is the extreme of numbers", had something to do with this.
Wen Ziqing was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed. The pressure of the God Realm made him speechless.
"Escaping will only put you in a more difficult situation." Desolate Bite appeared in the void and stood in the air, looking down with a smile. "Actually, there is no need for so many hostages. Which of you wants to die first?"
The whole world was suddenly left with a pale hue, as if the Devil's Prison had descended. Accompanied by a seemingly solid killing intent, the nine disciples with weaker cultivations directly knelt down. It was not that they had no backbone, but that they could not resist under the absolute power.
It was inevitable that the weak would naturally feel a sense of worship towards the strong.
Not only Desolate Bite, but the Shadow Hall also came and cooperated with the ghost army to block all the escape routes. They cooperated well and quickly created an encirclement with no weak points.
Everyone was a little desperate. Under the encirclement of so many soldiers and experts, they had no hope at all unless they gave up on escaping and fought to the death. However, with the God Realm above them, only a few could muster up this courage. For a group like this, as long as they were not completely united, they would always be a motley crew.
"Are we surrounded so quickly? This is beyond my expectations."
What made them even more desperate was that Huang Shi and the Xue Kuang came one after another.
The Xue Kuang's gaze immediately locked onto Yan Li. It could be said that when enemies met, their eyes were exceptionally red. He was still able to control himself and said with a faint smile, "I thought that under your leadership, we would be able to escape further. Yan Li, has your ability declined, or have I overestimated you?"
