Due to the existence of the stone pillars, the cultivators' side could be considered to have a natural defensive position. As they fled, they could kill or shoot down the enemies that rushed up to the stone pillars. Each person would not face more than five enemies at the same time. With the strength of the nine great core disciples, it was still easy to deal with. However, the problem was that if this was a protracted battle, they would definitely lose.
"I know you have a way to deal with those shadows from the Shadow Hall." Yan Li stood on a stone pillar and said to Wen Ziqing beside him, "I will give you fifteen people to block for me for a while."
Wen Ziqing frowned and said, "How long is a while?" He was very kind to everyone, but the matter of Liang Youyu left a knot in his heart that could not be solved. This was human nature.
"An hour." Yan Li said.
"I am afraid you are crazy!" Wen Ziqing's expression changed. "An hour, I am lucky not to freeze to death. At most half an incense stick of time! "
"That's fine." Yan Li nodded readily.
Wen Ziqing rolled his eyes speechlessly. He felt as if he had been schemed against. He shook his head and led the people to the front. The Snow Demon Carriage had already stopped there. The ones charging in front were the ghost generals, and the shadows were scattered. Thinking of the hundreds of hidden assassins, he could not help but regret agreeing so readily.
Perhaps, there was also a part of him that refused to admit defeat.
I admit that you are very powerful, but I am not bad either!
"Follow me and kill!" He shouted. This was the first time since he entered the Demon World that he showed his sharpness.
Shadow was not in a hurry to attack, but watched everything in the dark. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said to himself, "This does not seem like a blind action without a plan. Could it be that this kid has some tricks up his sleeves? Hmph, forget it. The higher-ups have already given the order to kill him. Kill him just in case. "
His figure entered the gradually darkening environment, swimming like a fish in water. He flashed past every cultivator, not even causing a ripple. The Shadow Body Technique was almost integrated into his breathing. He could maintain the Soul Shadow state for seven days and seven nights. He once hunted a target without eating or drinking, and finally killed it perfectly.
The prey was still standing there, seemingly thinking about something. His whole body was full of flaws, and he thought of dozens of ways to kill him with a single glance.
This was a good time to strike. He decided not to hesitate any longer. There was no need for any tricks. The curved knife went straight out, but it was blocked by something and bounced back with a bang.
"Rain Bell!"
He felt a little helpless. This little girl was really reckless. She was obviously an excellent hostage with an immortal artifact.
A cold light flashed in the slanted ground, giving him a fright. He used his curved saber to block the thin yet tough edge. That's right, the Lotus Seat's unique treasure weapon, a hidden blade in the umbrella, making it impossible to defend against.
Ji Zhiyuan knew that the threat this fellow posed to Yan Li was far greater than that of the two super experts on the Heavenly Star List. A strong ray of light burst out from the thin blade.
Hmm?
Ying's heart skipped a beat. He felt that his eyes were so bright that he couldn't open them. Without any hesitation, he turned into a soul shadow and quickly retreated. He didn't dare to stop after falling behind a stone pillar. His eyes were so painful that he couldn't open them at all. He simply closed his eyes, thinking that this little girl had such a vicious method. But it didn't matter. Darkness was his home field.
Wait!
Why couldn't he move his body?
If Ying could open his eyes at this moment, he would see the Rain Bell floating above his head. The divine light fell from the umbrella leaves and confined his whole body.
"Cave Spirit Scripture!"
Ying almost lamented as he uttered a sound. He had heard many rumors. One of them was that the new owner of the Rain Bell had mastered the Cave Spirit Scripture. However, it was only a rumor after all, and he did not have his guard up against a little girl. Unexpectedly, the other party made use of this to seal his vision, and used the "Anatta Sutra" to paralyze his Divine Sense. She had long set up the Rain Bell on his route of retreat. He could be said to have run into a trap, and he had nothing to say about his failure.
"Before I die, can I ask you a question?" he said dejectedly.
"I'm afraid not."
In the midst of the peach blossoms, Ji Zhiyuan landed. The thin blade drew a dark crack in the void. The crack cruelly extended towards the top of Ying's head.
Just as the ghostly assassin was about to die a horrible death at the hands of the number one beauty of the Jambu Kingdom, there was a sudden 'bang', followed by a 'boom'. Dark yellow flames poured out in all directions like blooming flower petals. The Raindrop Bell was blown away by the explosion, and the thin blade slashed at the air.
Ji Zhiyuan frowned slightly, but he didn't hesitate. He used the impact of the explosion to fly backward and landed on a stone pillar. He caught the Rain Bell, put the thin blade back into the umbrella ribs, and gently leaned on his shoulder. The peach blossoms were dancing next to her. Her bright eyes were still looking over with a kind of calmness.
The person who suddenly appeared to save Ying was a masked man. She knew that this person was called Faceless, the vice leader of the Shadow Hall. He was good at illusion. The explosion just now should have been caused by some kind of consumable treasure.
Ying reappeared, twisted his neck, and said with a smile, "Little girl, it's a pity that I didn't die, but you're unlucky."
The vice leader of the Shadow Hall worked together to deal with a cultivator who wasn't even the first disciple of the Nine Elites. This achievement alone was enough to make him famous.
"Come," Ji Zhiyuan said.
…
On the other side, Yan Li was facing a new enemy, but it was a more troublesome existence.
Xue Kuang stood on top of another stone pillar, trying his best to look calm as he faced the man who had killed him once. There was nothing he could do about it. Even though he had powerful strength backing him up, and he was confident that he could kill the other party, what had happened in the past would not change. This ant-like weakling had once killed him with a sword, forcing him to beg a woman in a humble manner. This humiliation must be washed away with the opponent's blood.
The situation was under his control. He calmed down and slowly smiled, "Long time no see." His tone was relaxed as if he was greeting a friend. Even though they had met a few times before.
But before Yan Li could respond, he continued, "The Demon World is much more dangerous than Tianjing. Don't you always have Yan Chaoyang with you?" His smile slowly became sarcastic. After the battle of Tianjing, he sat in seclusion for more than half a month to reflect. He admitted three reasons for his defeat:
First, he underestimated Yan Chaoyang. He didn't expect the opponent's desperate counterattack to be so terrifying that it ruined his immortal state.
Second, he personally killed his helper Sky Silkworm. If the first reason was the root cause, then the second reason was that he asked for it. It was an extremely stupid action. Sky Silkworm could have been killed at any time, there was no need to choose that time.
Third, he underestimated Yan Li's … sword.
Yan Li reached out and grabbed Leaving Cliff. His arm shook, and the deep hum of the sword came from the sheath. He slowly showed a smile, "If Zhaoyang was here, you wouldn't dare to face me alone. You see, I gave you a chance to take revenge. Shouldn't you be grateful? "
Xue Kuang was suddenly infuriated. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils were filled with a gloomy coldness, like an emotionless creature. "I hope that when you are wailing in the dungeon, you can be as confident as you are now." The Qi Domain that he had condensed earlier suddenly showed its shape. The huge Desolate Tooth Heavenly Beast was almost solid. It roared soundlessly and waved one of its steel blades at Yan Li.
Yan Li looked relaxed, but his heart was heavy. Time had never moved as slowly as it did now. Every passing second was like a knife cutting his flesh. From the changes in the Desolate Tooth Heavenly Beast, Xue Kuang's cultivation did not weaken much after dying once. Rather, it could be said that he had improved a lot. He was not far from the real God state.
However, his third initiation had been completed, and his endurance had greatly increased. He should take the risk to test the opponent's strength first, and then come up with a plan to stall for time.
After making up his mind, he did not dodge, but used the Leaving Cliff Sword to block.
Suddenly, his mind was squeezed by something. He looked carefully and saw that the steel blade falling from the sky had turned into a steel claw. It was glowing with a gloomy luster, and its sharpness was close to his soul.
He immediately changed his mind and used all his strength to jump back. The steel claw scratched his face. Although it did not touch his face, it was cut by the strong wind.
Because he used all his strength, his speed was no less than being hit by a huge force. It looked like he was hit by the steel claw. Before this, he did not have time to think about where he would land. He crashed into a stone pillar behind him, and was deeply embedded in it.
His ears were ringing, his chest was painful, and his breath was stuffy … many discomforts came one after another, and he could not help but cough. He tried to sweep away the dust in front of him. He wanted to see if Xue Kuang had chased after him. But the scene in front of him made his pupils suddenly shrink. The towering stone pillar that was so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around it had disappeared, and there was a pile of rubble on the ground.
Before he could come back to his senses, a strange "wu wu" sound came from his right side. He did not need to look to imagine the scene of the steel claw waving in the void. He endured the pain and pulled his body out, and suddenly fell forward. At this moment, even if there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire waiting for him, he could not care less.
The next moment, the stone pillar was not spared, and the steel claw directly broke the upper half.
Yan Li only felt that his back was swept by the crushed stones, which were wrapped in a strong wind. It seemed that some of his bones were broken on the spot. He felt a sweetness in his throat, and directly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, like a broken puppet, he fell from the pile of rubble, and crashed into dozens of ghosts on the ground with a "peng peng" sound. Then, he fiercely hit the lower half of a stone pillar dozens of feet away, and finally slowly slid to the ground.
Knowing that this person was Xue Kuang's prey, no ghosts dared to come close.
Xue Kuang jumped to the ground and walked step by step towards Yan Li. Seeing him sitting miserably on the stone pillar and panting like a dog, an indescribable pleasure rose in Xue Kuang's heart.
Yes, I am so powerful, how can you resist?
"Come on, Yan Li, I will give you a chance to use that move of yours. I will directly shatter the myth of invincibility!"
