The situation was terrible.
Although Li Yong lost to Yu Qiuyu, Ji Hyun-woon was also seriously injured.
"Don't even think about escaping," he said with a sneer. "This place is so small. Where can you escape to? Actually, we don't even need to chase you. We just need to guard the entrance. Once the three days are up, you won't be able to go back. On the fifth day, the guardian of the Heavenly Plains will appear and kill all the people who overstay. You will still die. "
"Put me down and walk by yourself …" Yan Li struggled to get off Ji Hyun-woon.
The more he struggled, the more pain Ji Hyun-woon felt. He forced himself to endure it. "Since when did a pig like you have the right to order Xiao Wang around?!"
"Our only hope now is for one of us to escape and expose the truth here," Yan Li said. "When that happens, the Court Of Sword won't let them off!"
"Since when did you start placing your hopes on others?" Ji Hyun-woon said suspiciously. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a voice saying, "Watch my sword."
Li Yong had already drawn his sword and was about to attack. Helpless, he had no time to think and could only brace himself to fight.
On the other side, Yu Qiuyu displayed the unique mark of the Heavenly Sword Peak. When all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak were enlightened, the Sword Mark in the Source Sea would appear along with the Law Domain, which was the image of a giant sword.
Of course, there were good and bad Sword Marks. The strongest was naturally Mountain Sea Supreme, Guan Shanhai. It was said that his Sword Mark was infinitely close to the Ninth Heaven Thunder.
The Sword Mark was born out of the fundamental technique of the Hidden Sword Technique. It was unique, just like how Ji Hyun-woon comprehended the Ice and Fire Polarity from the Cave Spirit Scripture.
Once the Sword Mark was cultivated, it would accompany the cultivator for life. As the cultivator advanced, it would also change. It could be said to be a very unique technique.
As one of the top techniques in the world, it was naturally not just for show.
In the blink of an eye, Lone Eagle's ethereal but boundless aura suddenly moved. His footsteps moved, but he wasn't sprinting, he was just walking normally.
However, with every step he took, a grey shadow would charge towards Yu Qiuyu.
Yu Qiuyu seemed to know how powerful the Thirteen Obelisks was, and he slapped the hilt of Thirteen Obelisks with a backhand.
The sword roared like a dragon, and a sword shadow that was exactly the same shape as the sword itself burst forth from the sword, blocking the attack vertically.
Bang!
When the shadow collided with the sword shadow, it was as if water had been poured into a pot of oil. In an instant, the shadow violently spilled everywhere, and with a strange scream, it disappeared.
The aftermath wreaked havoc, and the grass within a radius of several meters withered into ashes in an instant.
At this moment, Lone Eagle had already taken his second step.
This time, the shadow was even more solid. One could vaguely make out that it was a monster that looked like a human, but not a human. It looked like an eagle, but not an eagle. It was ferocious and twisted, like an undead that wandered the world of death.
"Rise!" Yu Qiuyu formed a sword with his fingers and let out a shrill cry.
Clang!
Thirteen Obelisks left its sheath on its own, bringing with it a streak of sword light as it soared into the sky, disappearing into the Sword Seal above his head.
The Sword Seal flickered, and for a moment, it seemed as if it would solidify and take on the appearance of Thirteen Obelisks.
However, it did not. Perhaps his cultivation was still insufficient.
But this was enough. The Sword Seal immediately released countless sword shadows that hung down like willow branches, forming a sword wall.
The greatest use of the Sword Seal was to protect.
To protect oneself, to protect Confucian orthodoxy, to protect everything.
Although its appearance caused the sword cultivator to lose the sharpness of using offense as defense, like a youth whose edges and corners had been smoothed out by the passage of time, the meaning it bestowed upon him was incomparably profound.
The undead roared and slammed into the sword wall. With a "bang," it "corroded" a large portion of the sword wall, and then, with an unwilling roar, it was reduced to ashes.
"You think that this kind of thing can stop me?"
Solitary Eagle took a third step. The two of them were originally very close, but it would still take ten steps before they could truly come into contact. But when he took this third step, it defied the laws of space. In a single step, he had already arrived in front of Yu Qiuyu, and he raised his hand and struck out with lightning speed.
Amidst the sound of space being shattered, the sword wall rapidly melted away like snow under the blazing sun.
Yu Qiuyu's face paled. He forcefully stabilized his mind, taking advantage of the aftershock to fly backwards. At the same time, he twisted his sword seal, and the remaining sword shadows surged towards Solitary Eagle.
"It's useless." Solitary Eagle casually shattered it. The tip of his foot touched the ground, and before his body had even moved, a shadow had already shot through the air.
Yu Qiuyu stretched out his hand and summoned back Thirteen Obelisks. Without even thinking, he placed it in front of his chest.
The virtual shadow collided with the Thirteen Palace Obelisks. Ripples of light splashed like mercury, distorting everything to the extreme. Yu Qiuyu let out a muffled groan, his figure sliding backwards uncontrollably, plowing two long shallow holes in the grass.
The violent retreat caused him to trip. He lost his footing and fell backwards, rolling backwards like a ragdoll.
Of course, he had also experienced Ji Hyun-woon's nightmare. There was not a single part of his body that did not hurt. That feeling was truly excruciating.
Solitary Eagle was born to interrogate people. Even without using any torture tools, he could still achieve the same results.
Yu Qiuyu used Thirteen Obelisks to forcefully stand up. He took a few ragged breaths, and then held his breath. His eyes glowed as he raised Thirteen Obelisks and pointed it at Solitary Eagle.
"Oh?" Solitary Eagle said interestedly. "At this point, you still want to resist?"
Yu Qiuyu said nothing. He only continued to raise his sword. As he raised his sword, the air suddenly began to surge violently. The Qi in a radius of several hundred zhang seemed to be pulled along by his sword-wielding hand, twisting and converging above his head. Finally, it formed a long silver waterfall, as if a silver river had been laid out above his head.
The silver river surged violently, causing space itself to tremble, followed closely by the earth.
With Yu Qiuyu at the center, the ground within a radius of several li began to rumble and split apart.
Not far away, the two people battling stopped in shock, involuntarily retreating.
Yu Qiuyu raised Thirteen Obelisks like a ruler. The region within several li seemed to be uprooted by the vast circulation of Qi.
At this moment, the silver river had reached its limit.
Yu Qiuyu could no longer hold on to Thirteen Obelisks. With a long howl, he slashed downwards.
The silver river seemed to have found an outlet and surged down like a breached dam. The incomparably powerful sword force swallowed the invisible Qi around Solitary Eagle in the blink of an eye. His Law Domain was torn to pieces for the first time.
"Waterfall Divine Flow!"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and formed a strange seal with his hands. He pulled them to both sides, and his Law Domain appeared once again. This time, it was a real one, but it was not in the shape of an ordinary Law Domain. Instead, it was in the shape of a millstone, a huge millstone.
Behind him, a huge millstone appeared. Inside the millstone was something being ground. It was a densely packed group of people, or rather, undead.
The undead were bound in the millstone, constantly struggling, roaring, and baring their fangs and claws at the human world. Behind the millstone, there was a vague shadow that seemed like a human but not a human.
It was a long story.
As soon as the millstone appeared, countless undead rushed out and fearlessly pounced on the silver river. The silver river was composed of countless sword force, and the undead were reduced to ashes with the slightest touch.
One, two, three …
Hordes of undead crashed into the silver river, but none of them could stop it.
"Death Domain, Killing Intent."
Solitary Eagle chuckled and chanted in a low voice. The figure behind the millstone seemed to move, and the undead on the millstone grew increasingly ferocious as they simultaneously let out sharp roars.
Countless roars converged into a single beam, turning into a resounding and terrifying sound wave that broke through the approaching silver river.
The originally unstoppable sword momentum was broken by more than half as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Yu Qiuyu's face was as pale as a sheet, and blood seeped out of his mouth, nose, and eyes. The hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and channeled his remaining essential Qi into Thirteen Obelisks without hesitation. Only then did he barely manage to block the sound wave.
"Let me show you the difference in strength."
Solitary Eagle sighed and slowly raised his hand.
The next moment, a despairing scene occurred.
Behind him, a dozen or so millstones that looked exactly the same as before suddenly appeared. Each millstone was exactly the same, filled with violent undead.
Yu Qiuyu's expression changed. He did not have time to withdraw his hand, and the roars that were ten times stronger were injected into the original sound wave. The silver river instantly shattered, and he flew backwards with a miserable scream. He fell several hundred meters away, motionless, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
All the strange phenomena disappeared.
Solitary Eagle patted the nonexistent dust off his body, then stepped behind Ji Hyun-woon and casually sent him flying. An invisible force picked up Yan Li and slowly moved him in front of him.
"Has the final result changed?" he asked softly.
Yan Li's face darkened, and he said nothing.
Solitary Eagle answered on his behalf, "Yes, I've implicated your two friends, if you really are friends." His tone was not without sarcasm.
Seeing that the situation had been settled, Li Yong patted his chest and sighed in relief. "Milord, what do we do now?"
"Stand guard by the side," Solitary Eagle said.
"Understood," Li Yong glanced at Ji Hyun-woon, who was lying motionless on the ground, and left.
"It's not too late to change your mind." Solitary Eagle took out the jar from his robes. "Although I don't know how you managed to escape last time, it doesn't matter anymore."
Seeing this jar, Yan Li instinctively felt traumatized.
"Let them go first!" he said in a low voice. "Otherwise, I won't give you anything!"
"Is that so?" Solitary Eagle smiled and slowly opened the jar. It seemed that he had lost his patience with Yan Li.
Yan Li watched as the worm prepared to crawl towards his nostrils again, and he could not help but struggle.
"Milord!"
At this moment, Li Yong ran back out of nowhere. "Not good, not good!"
"Speak!" Solitary Eagle frowned and closed the jar again.
"Two experts from Parting Hatred Palace are here!" Li Yong said in a panic. "I'm afraid that this is Yan Li's scheme. He definitely wants to use these two experts to deal with you, milord!"
"Oh?" Solitary Eagle laughed coldly.
"They're here!"
PS: When it comes to the main character's personality, I might have made it too complicated, making it hard for people to grasp the main point. I had once argued with Little Mantou about this problem. Although I had 'argued for what was right' at the time, after thinking about it calmly, I realized that her point of view was correct. An outstanding personality can make people remember the main character. If the main character is too complicated, they won't be able to grasp the main point. It's like drawing a flat character so that the reader can clearly understand the main character's characteristics. When someone mentions someone, they will know that they are the main character of a country. I have to specially thank Yi Liulian for her long review, which made me reconsider the problem of the main character.
Also, I seem to have read that the main character's first and second novels are about the problem of acting cool. The first novel is when the main character has the confidence to act cool, and the second novel is when the main character doesn't have the confidence to act cool, and the main character is a fool. Yes, that's roughly what it means. Let me say my humble opinion here. Yan Li has always been very good at borrowing power. Every time I arrange for him to act cool, he probably won't reach the level of a fool. Of course, he does seek death. When he schemed against the crown prince, didn't he fall into a very difficult situation? But it's like that old topic. Do we have to compromise and lower our heads just because reality is cruel? Of course not. I haven't even lowered my head, so how can Yan Li? Thus, whether Yan Li seeks death or is a fool, he is still Yan Li.
