Yan Li didn't dare to stop. It was as if if he stopped, his thoughts would run wild like a wild horse, spiraling out of control.
He kept running, but his direction was always correct. When the sun was about to set, it had to be said that it was a miracle.
Occasionally, he fell down. No, how could a cultivator fall down? It was because he had already lost his composure as a cultivator.
It didn't matter if he fell down, he could get up again. It didn't matter if his wound bled, it would stop. However, the pain in his heart seemed endless.
He didn't know when he fell down from exhaustion. When he opened his eyes, it was already the next day. The sun was dazzling, but there was only darkness in front of him. He was still running, as if if he stopped, he would never be able to escape the abyss.
He wanted to run, regardless of fatigue. He wanted to escape, regardless of pain.
However, there was someone who forced him to stop.
In this desolate mountain range, where there were no villages or shops, who could be there?
The sharp edge of a saber slashed down without warning. It was like a strike filled with hatred, filled with the intention of venting.
The intense pressure of death pulled Yan Li out of his muddled state.
As he miserably rolled backwards, he heard a loud noise that almost burst his eardrums. When he looked up, he saw that the place where he had been standing was like a meteor falling from the sky, smashing into a deep crevice. It was impressively in the shape of a saber.
A man in embroidered robes stood beside the rising smoke. His eyes didn't have the slightest bit of warmth. They were ice cold, causing people to shiver. His five fingers formed palms, and the deep crevice in the shape of a saber still had residual warmth. It wasn't hard to guess that it was the work of these two palms just now.
In the entire Divine Great Land, there was only one person who excelled in palm saber techniques. That was Qu Youfeng, ranked tenth on the Asura List, one of the eleven strongest people in the entire Divine Great Land. Even someone as arrogant as Li Yong couldn't withstand a single move from Xiao Yueming.
"Get out of the way!" Yan Li was like a wounded wolf, letting out a low growl.
"I won't give you another chance to hurt Junior Martial Uncle," Qu Youfeng said indifferently, "I should be the one to accompany her for the remaining half a year." Then he walked towards Yan Li, the edge of his right palm could no longer be restrained, and he struck out two palm winds.
One was as cold as a blade of ice, the other as blazing as a blade of fire, intertwining with each other … This was Qu Youfeng's famous ultimate skill, called "Ice Fire Cut", and Yan Li was not on the list of people who could block it.
At this moment, the clouds above the Ninth Heaven suddenly surged and quickly gathered in the sky above Yan Li. They formed a palm print and collided with the Ice and Fire Cut. A strong force burst out. Yan Li was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He subconsciously used his hand to block his face. Suddenly, he felt a soft force pushing him back.
The delicate fragrance that was like orchids and musk intoxicated one's soul. So long as one smelled it once, one would never forget it.
Half lying in the crook of Shen Liuyun's arm, Yan Li bitterly called out: "Mister."
Shen Liuyun frowned without a trace, helped him up, and turned to Qu Youfeng: "Bastard, do you still listen to me?"
"Junior Martial Uncle!" Qu Youfeng said angrily, "He will kill you sooner or later, and you still protect him!"
"You'd better stay out of my business!" Shen Liuyun said indifferently.
"I'm sorry, Junior Martial Uncle," Qu Youfeng tightly clenched his teeth, "This time I can't listen to you. Moreover, I'm not meddling in your business. This person released a foreign spy, and His Majesty has given a death order to take his head. Today, no matter who comes, no one can save his dog life! "
"Foreign spy, that's funny!" Shen Liuyun sneered, "Then what about you, colluding with the Night King to poison me? Do you think my Senior Martial Brother who abhors evil will forgive you? "
Qu Youfeng's pupils shrank, and he calmly said: "Poison? How is that possible, I don't know any Night King, and it's impossible for me to do such a shady thing. Is there some kind of misunderstanding? "
"I'm in the middle of forging a Xiantian cauldron, and have not eaten for several months. Do you think there's a misunderstanding?" Shen Liuyun coldly looked at him.
Qu Youfeng's expression changed, and his breathing quickened. Following that, his eyes changed, revealing an ominous glint.
"What, you want to kill me to silence me?" Shen Liuyun's voice was stern, "I didn't report you at the first moment because I wanted to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. If you don't cherish it, then it seems like it's time for the Asura List to change."
"Junior Martial Uncle, I'm sorry!"
Qu Youfeng's right arm was suddenly covered with a layer of silver-gray True Qi, as if it was some kind of metal. Then, he leaped high into the air and fiercely chopped down, chopping out a silver-gray blade light.
"Back off!"
Shen Liuyun's expression became extremely solemn, and a cloud-shaped Innate Qi surged out from his body. Both of his hands moved about, and there were clouds following him, leaving behind a mysterious trajectory. In an instant, it formed an ancient and profound pattern: "Imperial Spirit Profound Strategy, unpredictable clouds..."
His right palm suddenly pushed out!
The air within a radius of a few hundred feet was suddenly pushed by an invisible force, and a howl that sounded like a Night Demon's scream was heard. It was the strange sound of dust squeezing the air, but it only lasted for a very short moment, because the dust couldn't withstand such speed, and disappeared completely.
Countless howls caused by that instant were strange and terrifying, and then they were restrained by a majestic Qi, falling into absolute silence.
Boom!
Amidst the dull sound, the blade light was the first to shatter, and the pattern that Shen Liuyun drew followed closely behind.
Qu Youfeng retreated several feet in shock, and his face was slightly pale; Shen Liuyun stood still, but there was still an indescribable Qi lingering around him.
"This isn't the Cloud Expelling Palm!" Qu Youfeng gritted his teeth.
Shen Liuyun said proudly, "Of course this isn't the Cloud Expelling Palm, it's a unique skill that I created. If you're afraid, get out of here!"
Qu Youfeng glared at Yan Li, then turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Shen Liuyun's face immediately became as pale as paper, and she could barely stand, and kept spitting out blood.
"Why do you have to do this?" Yan Li came over to support her.
"I can't lie … for long," Shen Liuyun shook her head, and said reluctantly, "Hurry up and leave …"
"Do you want me to live in regret for the rest of my life?" Yan Li supported her, and slowly walked away.
"Little Fan, Auntie just wants you to live well."
Yan Li suddenly picked her up by the waist, "We can walk faster like this."
Shen Liuyun had no strength to resist, and could only let him do as he pleased. She leaned against his chest weakly, "Little Fan, how did you survive all these years?"
"When did you recognize me?" Yan Li only asked.
"When you were born, I was right outside the door, and I saw the 'Peach Blossom Dance' phenomenon with my own eyes …"
"Did my stubbornness kill a lot of people this time?" Yan Li asked again.
"People will die eventually." Shen Liuyun shook her head gently.
"I said that I won't let you die, and promises that you can't keep will become shackles."
"You're exactly like your father in this."
"Do you know anything?"
Shen Liuyun looked up at Yan Li's face, "I only know that Wang Ba went to the palace to meet the emperor, and he took away the Black and White Impermanence and Qu Youfeng. I followed the traces you left behind in the mountains, and I was guided by an expert, so I was able to save you in time. "
Yan Li suddenly stopped, and the veins on his face popped out, "Qu Youfeng's appearance here means that the Lonely Moon Restaurant is doomed, right?"
"Maybe there were other accidents." Shen Liuyun could see his pain and self-blame, but she could only comfort him like this.
"This is all my fault!" A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of Yan Li's mouth.
Shen Liuyun said, "I risked my life to save your life, don't you know how to cherish it?"
Yan Li took another step forward. Life had to go on, no matter what, life did not stop, and self-improvement did not stop.
"I've implicated you again," he said.
Shen Liuyun frowned, "Did we implicate each other? Don't forget, I watched you grow up, and I remember clearly how many times you peed on the bed when you were young. "
The corners of Yan Li's mouth twitched reluctantly. "Is there …"
"That's an ugly smile. Also, why haven't I heard you call me aunt until now? Do you think you can cut ties with me just because you've become a robber? Let me tell you, no matter what you become, I'm your aunt. This is an unchangeable fact! "
"No …"
"Then why don't you call me that?" Shen Liuyun was aggressive.
Yan Li just kept silent.
Shen Liuyun did not have the strength to speak loudly, and she knew that there was no way to divert his attention, so she kept silent.
After walking for a while, she said softly, "Little Fan, don't go back to Yongling for now. After a while, I'll plead with Zhiyuan for you. She listens to me the most, and her heart will soften …"
"No need!" Yan Li interrupted coldly.
Shen Liuyun was stunned, and then realized a serious problem. For her, Yan Li and Ji Zhiyuan were the people she cared about the most, and they were her family. But for Yan Li, Ji Zhiyuan was not. Not only was he not Ji Zhiyuan, but he was also the enemy who killed his family — if something really happened to Lonely Moon House.
Then, as a person in the middle, how should she choose? No matter what choice she made, it would be painful, and not choosing would be even more painful.
"You're all the people closest to me, why do you hurt each other?"
Yan Li shook his head slowly, and said, "From the moment my family was destroyed, there was only revenge left. Whoever stands in my way is the accomplice of my enemy, and I won't hesitate to kill them all!"
He suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look, and saw that Qu Youfeng had indeed returned.
As soon as Shen Liuyun saw him, she bit her teeth, and wanted to say something, but he spoke first.
"I said, how can a consummate skill be so simple?" Qu Youfeng said with a smile, "Youngest Uncle-Master has just become a Perfected Being, and the change from Primordial Qi to Vital Qi is not small. Even if it's a consummate skill that you've mastered before, it would take a long time to get used to it, not to mention creating a consummate skill in such a short time. If you ask me, it's a combination of the True Spirit Pivot and the Cloud Expelling Palm. You used it in a hurry, and you didn't have a good grasp of it, and it's a terrible move. "
"I know you won't tell me Yan Shiyi's real situation!" Yan Li found a tree, and put Shen Liuyun down. "Then I'll have to ask myself." A curse mark slowly appeared on his forehead.
"You?" Qu Youfeng sneered contemptuously, "Do you think I'm that useless Mo Luo? Fine, let me see what other secrets you have! "
