Lou Xiaoyi quickly changed his direction after flying dozens of miles towards the coastline. He began to fly inland. If someone intercepted him, they would definitely choose an ambush location between the Thousand Opportunities Valley and the nearest coastline. He would not be so stupid as to bump into them!
He realized that Wei Wuji's change in attitude was a warning! This came from a cultivator's cautious intuition. There was only one orthodoxy in the Azure Sky World that could make the most powerful sect in the East Sea only dare to warn him and not stop or help him.
Since Wei Wuji dared to privately play tricks and alert him, at least it meant that the Five Elements Sect would not participate openly. This was a very reasonable choice. The Three Pure Ones' strength was unfathomable, and Xuanyuan was not much worse. The sects under them would not easily choose sides between the two forces, at least not openly!
Therefore, they would definitely draw a line between them, and even use some small tricks to win Xuanyuan's forgiveness. This was why Wei Wuji dared to do this without worrying about being blamed by the sect.
Lou Xiaoyi caught a glimpse of this guy blowing out three smoke rings. This was the only information he gave. Lou Xiaoyi guessed that the three smoke rings probably meant that there were three people hunting him. In the vast East Sea and the boundless sky, the strength of three people was really limited. If he was deliberately running away, there were countless directions in the sky, and it was impossible to find him.
But he did not intend to run away like this!
Since he started cultivating, he had never had the experience of fighting with fewer people except in the first battle where he faced three cultivators. As a Swordsman, although there was no need to fight alone, he could not just run away when such a situation occurred. There would always be a day when he could not run away. What should he do?
He just wanted to choose the battlefield himself. This was a principle that would never change.
What kind of method would his opponent use to find him? This was also something that he was very interested in. He knew that he had not touched anything else in the Thousand Chance Valley, except for the strange stone core. However, the ability of the Law Vein was very mysterious, and he did not understand it very well.
Lou Xiaoyi only used 70% of his Escape Technique. He didn't want these guys to lose track of him. The stars had already sensed his current level. The number of stars that had sensed him had already exceeded a thousand. The star composition within his body had formed a true starry sky cloud. This caused his Escape Technique to start to break away from the scope of ordinary cultivators.
After flying for a thousand li in the depths of the Eastern Sea Continent, Lou Xiaoyi changed directions again. This time, he was still heading for the coastline!
The sea was not biased towards the combatants, but it was very important to him as he was alone. Because the sea was like a mirror, he could extend his Spiritual Sense to the farthest distance. He could detect and judge the intentions of unfamiliar cultivators approaching from the farthest distance. If he was in the East Sea Continent, where cultivators frequently appeared, he would have to pay attention to every cultivator that appeared, even if it was just a passerby.
"He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. What a pity!
This humble Daoist is called Xunfeng, and I'm here to meet the experts of Xuanyuan! "
On the coastline, a Daoist was approaching quickly from the side. His sleeves were fluttering in the wind, and he looked elegant and unrestrained. With a shake of his hand, a huge net came flying straight at Lou Xiaoyi. When he first attacked, it was only a few hundred feet in diameter. Facing the storm, it expanded to a diameter of a thousand feet. It completely blocked Lou Xiaoyi's path forward, forcing him to change directions and delay time!
Lou Xiaoyi attacked almost at the same time as him. The Four Seasons drew an arc, brushing past the edge of the huge net, and went straight for the Daoist. At the same time, he changed his direction. It was not suitable for him to barge straight into the soft net-like spiritual tool. This was the basic principle of a cultivator's battle!
The huge net chased after him. Although its speed was not fast, it could restrict his movement in a certain direction! Lou Xiaoyi had to be level with the coastline, approaching the side of the Three Pure Ones cultivators. At the same time, the Big Dipper rushed out. He needed to test the stickiness and toughness of this huge net.
In the blink of an eye, the Four Seasons attacked a layer of clouds, layer upon layer. This was the famous Cloud Generating Technique of the Three Pure Ones! Taking the meaning of endless growth, it was easy to pass through, but immediately after, one would fall into the next layer of clouds. It was a defensive spell supported purely by the depth of one's mana!
The Daoist's goal was very clear. He was taking advantage of Lou Xiaoyi's weak point of Jin Dan, and his lack of mana and cultivation. On the other hand, he was already standing at the peak of Jin Dan! In terms of mana and cultivation, they could not be mentioned in the same breath!
This was the first time Lou Xiaoyi was blocked by a single defensive spell of a cultivator since he mastered his swordsmanship!
There were many reasons, but the two most important were cultivation and understanding of the Five Elements!
Cultivation was the foundation of a cultivator's ability. Swordsman had always been focusing on explosiveness instead of cultivation. It was not that they did not understand the importance of cultivation, but in the process of cultivation, Swordsman's cultivation would never be able to surpass a cultivator of the same level. They each had their own strengths!
When a cultivator of the Swordsman converted his most proficient cultivation into defense, he could effectively offset Lou Xiaoyi's strengths in power and swordsmanship by relying on the huge difference between the initial and later stages of Jin Dan!
His understanding of the Five Elements was also a problem. The Daoist's knowledge of the Five Elements was obviously stronger than his. He was able to effectively transform the water environment by the sea into endless hazy clouds. This ability was no longer something that Lou Xiaoyi was proficient in, which he could completely penetrate with brute force!
This did not mean that Lou Xiaoyi's swordsmanship was already at a disadvantage!
The Cloud Generating Technique could only block the Four Seasons, and he still had six more flying swords like the Four Seasons!
The problem was, he had more than one opponent! In his divine sense, there were auras rapidly approaching from both sides. They would not give him a chance to fight alone!
He laughed. This was a great opportunity for him to wield his sword! The true sharpening of his swordsmanship was not something that those ordinary people in the South Sea could help him with! He needed these strong people from the Three Pure Ones!
His body swayed, seemingly advancing but actually retreating. In an instant, he broke away from Gentle Breeze's entanglement and rushed out with his sword, crashing into the Daoist flying from the north!
The essence of wielding the sword was to change the location after each shot, taking out a sword here and touching it there! He would never fall into a situation where he had to fight one against many. To achieve this, speed was the key!
Watch in front, watch in the back. Send out the sword on the left, keep it on the right. Pull out high, dive down, and fight for his life! His opponent would never be able to guess where he would land next, and never be able to guess who he would attack!
This was what Swordsman was best at, and also what cultivators of the Swordsman had the most trouble with! When he was at a disadvantage, Lou Xiaoyi could still run two steps into the sea, and the cultivator of the Swordsman would have no choice but to follow!
However, the three cultivators of the Swordsman had their own advantages!
More people was more important! This meant that Lou Xiaoyi couldn't go all out against one person! He did not have that much time! Moreover, the three cultivators of the Swordsman were from the same sect, and they cooperated well with each other. When one of them was in danger, the other two would definitely come to their aid. When Lou Xiaoyi's heavy sword could not achieve a one-hit kill, there would not be a second or third chance!
Having a high cultivation level was also an important factor! When comparing martial arts and techniques, martial arts would always come first. When a cultivator's cultivation level was far above his opponent's, techniques would not be effective!
