His plan was simple. He wanted to break into Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan's palace or cave to hide. Bai Ziliang probably wouldn't dare to do anything to Lie Huan's palace either.
Bai Ziliang's expression was cold as he chased after Miao Yi. He looked at Miao Yi coldly, as if to say, 'Let's see where you can run to now.'
Miao Yi's strength was no match for Bai Ziliang's, and he didn't have any long-range attack transcendent artifacts. The only things he could use were a few talismans, and these were the only things he could struggle with. With a flick of his hand, he shot out another six Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The oncoming black seal was once again knocked off course and smashed to the side. The earth trembled as sparks flew from the impact.
Miao Yi didn't care even if the sky fell and the earth caved in. He continued to charge towards the mountain peak.
Miao Yi immediately grabbed a handful of talismans and tossed out fifty First Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans, sending them flying behind him. As for the Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans, he had already used up all of them. There were only fifteen Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans in total in the Sea of Constellations this time.
Even Bai Ziliang was shocked by this move. If it were fifty Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans, his transcendent artifact would probably suffer a huge loss of vitality. He would also have to use up a large amount of Yao Cores to replenish himself. When he saw that the talismans were glowing white, he heaved a sigh of relief. So they were only First Grade talismans.
Amidst the continuous explosions, Miao Yi's expression was one of grief and indignation. The explosive power of fifty First Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans was actually unable to shake the giant black seal that was hurtling towards him. All it did was slow it down a little in the air, giving him some time to escape.
Miao Yi couldn't dodge in time. He desperately leaped up from the back of his dragon steed and dodged to the side.
However, he was still a little too late. The dragon steed was instantly engulfed in flames, and just as it let out a desperate neigh, it was crushed beneath the black seal.
Miao Yi couldn't dodge in time and spat out a mouthful of blood. He lay on the ground with a pained expression. One of his legs was already pinned down by a corner of the mountainous black seal. His leg was definitely crippled.
This was already a blessing in disguise. If the explosion of the fifty First Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans hadn't slowed down the black seal, he would have been reduced to a pulp by now.
Bai Ziliang saw that he had finally taken care of Miao Yi. A cold smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to rush forward to avenge himself, he was stunned.
Without the slightest hesitation, Miao Yi brandished his sword artifact. The sword in his hand fell, bringing with it a ray of cold light, directly cutting off his thigh that was being pressed down. Then, he rolled and crawled, flipping himself over. He hopped to the top of the mountain and looked around.
Bai Ziliang couldn't help but admire this scene. He found that this person was really an extremely decisive and ruthless person. He almost didn't think twice before chopping off his leg. He was really willing to do it, but what was the use?
Kong Zhi and Ba Jie, who were watching the show from behind, were equally speechless. Ba Jie clicked his tongue and said, "Just who is Bai Ziliang hunting down? Why is he so cruel to himself?"
Chopping off his own leg might not be a big deal, but the key was that he did not even have to think about it. It was as easy as cutting vegetables, which was shocking.
Miao Yi had finally reached the top of the mountain after much difficulty, but he was now in despair. Lie Huan's personal quarters were nowhere to be seen. Instead, he saw something that looked like the mouth of a volcano. Orange flames burned fiercely a hundred meters below, and the fire was extremely strange. It was actually spiraling around like a whirlpool.
Could it be that Lie Huan's personal quarters were in the sea of fire below? Miao Yi's eyes were filled with sorrow. When he heard the sound of the giant seal being withdrawn, he turned around and saw that Bai Ziliang had already caught up to him.
With a flip of his hand, Miao Yi summoned the Mystic Yin Mirror and unleashed a ferocious blast of cold Yin energy as he made his final attack.
However, the cold Yin energy shot out by the Mystic Yin Mirror seemed to be restrained by the high temperature here. With its power greatly reduced, the Tempest Beast opened its mouth and spat out a red mist, instantly negating the attack of the cold Yin energy.
Miao Yi was already heavily injured to begin with, and now he had to expend a large amount of transcendence energy. He stood on the top of the mountain with one leg and was on the verge of collapsing. Relying on his longsword as a support, he managed to keep himself from collapsing. At the same time, he had to forcefully invoke his transcendence energy to protect himself from the high temperature.
Seeing that Bai Ziliang was about to summon the giant black seal again, Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Hold it!"
Bai Ziliang saw how Miao Yi could still remain so calm despite his ragged clothes, messy hair, bloodied face, and the fact that he was leaning on his sword with one leg. Impressed, he paused his attack and sneered, "So you're afraid now?"
"Afraid?" Miao Yi scoffed, then asked, "I just want to know why you're chasing after me so relentlessly. Is it because I destroyed your transcendent artifact?"
Most people wouldn't know how the Demon Refining Gourd had come about. This was something that Bai Ziliang was deeply ashamed of. He angrily said, "You're still concerned about this when you're about to die?"
"Even if I'm going to die, I should at least know why, right?" Miao Yi laughed bitterly.
Since he was going to die, he might as well try his best to buy some time for Zhao Fei and the others. Perhaps this favor could convince those lucky enough to survive to do something for him in the future. That would be the best outcome.
There was no way Bai Ziliang would tell him that his mother had begged for the Demon Refining Gourd. He didn't want to waste his breath and raised his hand to attack again. Miao Yi anxiously shouted, "Don't you want to know why I risked leaving the group and lured you here alone?"
Bai Ziliang's hand paused. He was also curious about this matter and wanted to know the answer as well. Was there really someone who liked to die? He asked, "Why?"
"We want to know the reason as well." Ba Jie's voice rang out. The four-horned, golden-hooved white deer descended with the two of them on its back. Ba Jie smiled at Lan Susu, who was sitting behind Bai Ziliang, and said, "Lady Benefactor, we meet again!"
Lan Susu frowned in silence. Bai Ziliang tilted his head and said, "Kong Zhi. Why are you following me so relentlessly?"
"Repent and become a Buddha!" Ba Jie answered on behalf of Kong Zhi. Kong Zhi nodded in response.
"Don't give me that!" Bai Ziliang scoffed.
However, Miao Yi seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He turned to Ba Jie and said, "Grandmaster, you are right. This person has killed too many people. We should persuade him to repent as soon as possible." He pointed to Bai Ziliang.
Ba Jie nodded and smiled. "A person who has killed too many people must have an evil root as a trigger. If we don't get rid of this root, I'm afraid he won't be able to repent. Benefactor, do you have some treasure on you that he covets? If you do, then it must be an evil root. Why don't you hand it over to us? Once the evil root is removed, he will naturally let you go! "
Miao Yi's expression twitched. He thought that reinforcements had arrived, but he didn't expect someone even more shameless to show up. He couldn't help but scoff, "I'm afraid that Bai guy won't be willing to hand it over to you!"
Ba Jie lowered his clasped hands and revealed his true colors. He simply said, "As long as you agree to hand it over to us, then it will belong to us. If anyone dares to take it from us, then don't blame me for using my Vajra Thunderbolt technique to subdue this evil!"
Miao Yi calmly replied, "They are not to be trifled with. They are from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons."
Ba Jie laughed heartily. "Benefactor, you might not be aware of our origins. We are from the Realm of High Paradise. My master is Grandmaster Qi Jie of Mount Duolai." Pointing at Kong Zhi, he continued, "His grandmaster is Buddha Sage Cang Lei. Why would we be afraid of someone from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons?!"
Kong Zhi was utterly speechless. This bastard was always trying to scare people with his background. When he needed it, he would bring up his own master. But when he didn't, he would call him an old bald donkey behind his back.
Miao Yi nodded and said, "As long as the two Grandmasters are willing to take me away, I will hand it over to you."
Bai Ziliang immediately shouted, "Kong Zhi, stop listening to him trying to drive a wedge between us. I only want his life. You can have everything else!"
Ba Jie immediately asked, "Are you serious?!"
Bai Ziliang was afraid that they would try to stop him. He really didn't care for the things on Miao Yi's body, so he said confidently, "It's a deal!"
Ba Jie nodded and clasped his hands together. "Life is death, and death is life. There is no sorrow, nor joy. It is like a dream, but also like an illusion. Everything is an illusion." He then turned to Kong Zhi and said, "Kong Zhi, we are the ones who have been blinded. When it's time to let go, we will be free."
Kong Zhi was speechless. 'You're the one who's right, and you're the one who's wrong. Why drag me into this?'
As soon as he heard that they would be given something, he immediately changed his tune. Bai Ziliang couldn't help but mock, "Kong Zhi, you two are truly free monks!"
Ba Jie raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you trying to force us to violate our obsessions?"
Bai Ziliang was rather speechless. Where did this scum of the Buddhist sects come from? He did not even care about the face of the Buddhist sects. He couldn't afford to offend them.
Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Miao Yi solemnly said, "Grandmasters, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Where is your compassion?"
Ba Jie calmly clasped his hands together and said, "I have never cultivated good karma in my life. I love killing and arson the most! I don't have any hopes of building a pagoda. I am already in hell. As the Buddha says, if I don't enter hell, who will? Amitabha! "
That was his answer. Bai Ziliang and Lan Susu stared at Kong Zhi with twitching expressions, as though asking, 'If I don't enter hell, who will? Is this how the Buddhist sect interprets it?'
Kong Zhi lowered his head and remained indifferent. He had long since gotten used to it. If he cared, he would only be making things difficult for himself.
Miao Yi was so angry that he laughed. Forget about meeting such a shameless monk, he hadn't even met such a shameless person before.
He tried his best to calm himself down. Without waiting for Bai Ziliang to make a move, he interjected, "Bai Ziliang. Do you know why Gu Sanzheng and I suddenly ran left and right when we were being chased? Then, when you arrived, we quickly regrouped?"
Bai Ziliang was just about to make a move, but his curiosity got the better of him. He coldly asked, "Why?"
Miao Yi was still trying to buy as much time as he could for Zhao Fei and the others, so he purposely said slowly, "Because I wanted to test you. I wanted to see if the one you wanted to kill the most was Gu Sanzheng or me. As it turns out, your desire to kill me is stronger."
"So what?" Bai Ziliang said disdainfully, "You still ended up in my hands in the end!"
Miao Yi smiled and said, "It's good that you know. Your mount is too fast, so someone needed to lure you away. Just like now. I've finally lured you away. I don't think your subordinates will be able to catch up to my friends' Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts anymore. "
Bai Ziliang scoffed, "Even that won't save you!"
Just as Miao Yi was about to continue explaining, Lan Susu's expression suddenly changed. She cried out, "Not good. He's intentionally delaying you so that those three Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts can shake off our men!"
Bai Ziliang was shocked.
Miao Yi smiled viciously and said, "Isn't it a little too late for you to realize now? I'm afraid you won't even be able to find your men in such a short amount of time. And you still think you can catch up to my men?"
"Die!" Bai Ziliang was furious.
With a flick of his hand, Miao Yi had already leaped backwards into the mouth of the volcano before he could even throw out the giant seal.
