Yan Li crouched down and sprinted. The scenery on both sides flashed by quickly. Every step he took covered a distance of seven or eight feet. This was an ability that ordinary people could only look up to, even if it was the most ordinary running.
A Level Four Martial Artist's Primordial Qi ran through his whole body. At the same time, he strengthened his feet and thighs, which greatly improved his running ability. In the eyes of ordinary people, he could only catch a faint afterimage.
The nine levels of martial arts were actually a process of refining the body. Every time one's cultivation increased, the sharpness of the five senses would increase. Of course, vision was one of them.
Therefore, the world in the eyes of cultivators and ordinary people was different.
However, Yan Li could not calm down at this moment. After seeing the Cave Spirit Scripture, which was as famous as the Great Brahman Heart Sutra, he deeply realized the importance of cultivation methods. For the first time, he had a desire for the complete Taibai Sword Sutra.
What shocked him even more was that Ji Tiansheng had cultivated the Cave Spirit Scripture to the third level, "Selfless". He could use the control of emotions to adjust his own sense of existence. When a strong sense of existence burst out, the scene just now would happen.
However, she was not a real person. She might stand at the peak of martial arts and the critical point of cultivation, but she was not a real person.
"Selfless" was the third chapter of the Cave Spirit, which was also the method of enlightenment. This was what he had heard from the Prajna Buddha Diagram in the Academy.
Enlightenment was the realm after cultivation, also known as the human immortal of martial arts. In the world, only the Ghost God Yang Youyun and the Medical Sage Li Xuanwei had reached this realm.
In other words, Yan Li's cultivation of the Hidden Sword Formula had only crossed one realm, and there was no way he could survive. Moreover, he was a first-class sword master and had unparalleled talent in comprehending sword techniques. However, Ji Tiansheng had crossed two realms and did not seem to be "possessed by the devil".
He did not forget his mission.
During the chase, he made a detailed judgment. First of all, Zhang Huanfa was undoubtedly a spy of the underworld, which meant that he was the one who wore the Judge's Mask and ambushed him that night. Secondly, judging from his sudden attack, the Black Mountain Gang was determined to give up on this spy to prevent him from being exposed, so it was unlikely that it was a trap. Thirdly, Zhang Huanfa was prepared to escape before he came here, so the most likely place he would go was the Big Fish Square, where crooks and honest people mixed together. Fourthly, and most importantly, the Black Mountain Gang would not send people to help him in order to prevent him from being exposed.
Either he didn't come, or he was an expert.
Yan Li was betting that he would find Zhang Huanfa first.
Perhaps he was blessed by fate this time. When he found Zhang Huanfa, he was indeed wandering in an alley of Big Fish Lane, as if waiting for someone.
"It's you!" Zhang Huanfa suddenly turned around and stared at Yan Li, who was walking toward him. "I thought I wouldn't have the chance to take revenge. I didn't expect that you would come to me voluntarily. Let's see who will save you this time!"
"Save?" Yan Li sneered, "I think you're mistaken about one thing. Do you know why Ji Tiansheng sent me to chase after you and not someone else?"
"A mere Rank-4 martial artist dares to be so arrogant!" Zhang Huanfa didn't answer his question at all. He stretched out his hand, and his precious flying guillotine spun like a blade, shooting toward Yan Li's head like lightning.
The flying guillotine was a precious weapon that was between a concealed weapon and a weapon. Not only was its structure more complicated than a sword, but it also required a lot of skill to use. Very few people would sacrifice themselves to refine such a troublesome precious weapon, but those who did would definitely have a lot of experience in this area.
Yan Li didn't underestimate his enemy. He leaped backward and stuck to the wall like a spider, avoiding the flying guillotine. He said, "I'm very curious. You're the husband of the Martial God's brother-in-law, and your future is limitless. You're only thirty-seven years old, and you're already the capital governor. In the future, it won't be a problem for you to enter the Hall of Governmental Affairs. Why do you join the underworld and willingly become a lackey?"
"You have everything. How could you possibly understand? I'm also a cultivator!"
Zhang Huanfa's face twisted with extreme disdain as he sneered. "Martial God's brother-in-law, bah!" The hand on the other end of the chain moved slightly, and the flying guillotine that had missed suddenly changed direction.
At such a close distance, because of the Yuan Qi, the blades that were flying around immediately showed their terrifying power. Wherever they cut, even space seemed to break. If they touched flesh, they would most likely be minced into minced meat.
Yan Li used his limbs to push off the wall and jumped onto the opposite wall of the alley. He hadn't even turned around. Just from the sound, he could tell that the place where he had been standing had suffered a terrible accident.
Without thinking, he used both his hands and feet to quickly climb up the wall.
As expected, the flying guillotine followed closely behind. He saw with his own eyes the scene of the flying guillotine digging through a large part of the wall. He couldn't help but whistle. "Your precious weapon doesn't look like much, but it's exceptionally cheap to use. When you're digging holes to bury people, it's better than countless sharp weapons."
But in his heart, he judged that Zhang Huanfa's cultivation level was only third grade Martial Master.
Zhang Huanfa's face was expressionless. Clearly, he wasn't fooled at all. You can attack my heart, I can ignore it. But his movements weren't slow at all. The flying guillotine was almost an extension of his arm. With a thought, it cut along the wall.
The strength of a third grade Martial Master's vital energy was not to be underestimated. In an instant, the wall was torn to pieces. The flying guillotine just happened to fly out between Yan Li's legs, trying to cut him in half.
Between his legs, Yan Li broke out in a cold sweat. "Brother, you don't have to be so cruel. I only killed one of your sons. You're so young, you can just have another one. But you want to kill me, isn't that too cruel?"
As he spoke, his movements weren't slow either. Li Ya suddenly appeared in his hand. With both hands clasped together, his body flipped in the air.
Li Ya blocked the flying guillotine and immediately caused a concentrated sound of metal colliding with stone and sparks flying everywhere. An intense force spread out and pounced on Yan Li's face, causing waves of pain.
Luckily, the Hidden Sword Spell absorbed most of the force. Otherwise, his face would have been disfigured.
Borrowing the force of this collision, Yan Li flipped back into the alley. But before he could stabilize himself, the flying guillotine had already chased him from behind. To it, there was no such thing as inertia. In the air, it could use as much force as it wanted. It could change directions however it wanted.
"Clang clang!" The sword flashed.
Yan Li suddenly turned around and pulled out his sword. At this moment, the external force absorbed by Li Ya was far from saturation, but he didn't have time to care.
In the blink of an eye, the tip of the sword collided with the flying guillotine's blade. Both sides clashed fiercely, producing even more dazzling sparks than before.
At this point, it had to be mentioned that the Hidden Sword Spell had a difference between withdrawing and releasing. The two could not coexist. For example, when absorbing external force, it couldn't be released at the same time. On the other hand, if it was released prematurely, it couldn't be absorbed anymore.
In terms of strength, because the external force absorbed was limited, and Yan Li didn't want to waste his vital energy, he was on the losing side.
With his blood boiling, Yan Li clenched his teeth and forcefully swallowed back the heart blood that had rushed to his throat.
But without the Hidden Sword Spell, he really couldn't block a third rank martial artist, even if the opponent didn't use his ultimate skill.
With a bang, Yan Li's whole body flew back and crashed into the wall. In the midst of the dust and stones flying, the flying guillotine didn't stop at all. In an instant, it chased after him like a shooting star.
"Go to hell, scum!"
The flying guillotine's speed was too fast. Zhang Huanfa saw the flying guillotine shredding Yan Li's upper body and shouted excitedly.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. The shredded Yan Li didn't spurt out blood. Then, what made his heart break was that the Yan Li he thought had disappeared like smoke. It turned out to be an afterimage.
How fast did it have to be to leave an afterimage in his eyes?
He didn't have time to think, or rather, he couldn't think anymore. Because in the blink of an eye, his heart had been pierced.
At this time, Yan Li's real body slowly appeared. He was only three feet away from him.
The outcome of a duel was often decided in a split second.
In fact, when Yan Li turned around and pulled out the sword, he started to mobilize his vital energy. It was when he activated the external force in the cliff that he released the Hidden Sword Spell and used the second style of Green Lotus. At the moment when he crashed into the wall, he used the sword's high frequency vibration to leave an afterimage in his original position. Then, halfway through, he changed to the first style of Green Lotus: Green Lotus Birth in the City of Chaos.
This was very risky because this move had sucked his vital energy dry. His dantian was empty, and he almost couldn't stand still.
If Zhang Huanfa had hidden cards, he would be in a very dangerous situation.
"Green Lotus … Sword … Song …" Zhang Huanfa stared at Yan Li. He didn't seem to understand why he could get so many supreme techniques.
Yan Li sneered and said, "I think I understand why you turned to the underworld. Wang Ba, the Martial God, didn't teach you anything. Your Great Treasure means that your fighting style is limited. You need someone to protect you. You say that you are a cultivator, but I want to tell you that even if you get a great martial art from the underworld, as long as you can't break through the limit of your Great Treasure, you will always be a small character. As for the title of cultivator, you don't deserve it." Yan Li sneered and said, "I think I understand why you turned to the underworld.
Compared to the powerful flying guillotine, Zhang Huanfa's own weakness was very ironic.
Zhang Huanfa seemed to be angered. His face turned red, but then he smiled, "Although you killed … me … you can't … get … what … you want …"
This was his last smile. He died with a smile on his face.
What couldn't he get?
Yan Li slowly pulled out his sword and shook off the blood on it. After thinking for a moment, his face suddenly changed. He resisted the feeling of exhaustion and squatted down to search the body.
Nothing!
Nothing!
Something that should be on him, was not on him.
