Lou Xiaoyi, who had the upper hand in this battle, gradually moved the battlefield towards the sea. Even now, he still felt that he had the right to escape!
But for the sake of caution, he still moved towards the shallow waters!
He didn't believe that Daoist Three Purities had come from so far away just to spar with him. They definitely had a reason to hunt him down! And he, too, had the intention to temper himself!
Both sides had put their thoughts together, which was why this battle had been so slow!
His sword was untraceable, and he never stayed in one place for more than a breath's time. The magic cultivators couldn't track him down, so they couldn't use their best forbidden techniques, nor could they combine their techniques. As for his chain of sword techniques, if he caught one of them, he'd be attacked by the other two. That was unless he was willing to take the risk of injuring himself in exchange for a life.
Now was far from the time for them to reveal their true intentions!
The only thing he was curious about was what Daoist Three Purities would do to keep him here if he chose to escape from the battle.
A barrier? A mysterious one? Or a special forbidden technique?
This was a battle where everyone was scheming against each other. It seemed intense, but no one was fighting with their lives on the line. The key to the battle wasn't at the beginning, nor was it in the middle. It was at the end, when Lou Xiaoyi wanted to escape!
Lou Xiaoyi understood the strategy of the Dharma cultivators very well. The reason they did this was to make full use of their huge advantage in cultivation. If he dared to continue like this, he would be playing right into the hands of the Dharma cultivators!
Lou Xiaoyi naturally wouldn't let them do as they wished. Swordsman loved to fight. They wouldn't intentionally put themselves in unnecessary danger!
Since the magic cultivators had chosen time, his response was space!
Before coming to the East Sea, he'd passed by a reef region. It had a very special structure, formed by the corpses of the Shallow Sea Emperor Oyster, forming a large area that resembled a coral reef. This was a result of the Shallow Sea Emperor Oyster's habits. There was something there that he could use to mess things up!
In the coastal waters of the East China Sea, there were countless such and such regional reefs. Some were formed by rocks, while others were formed by various species of shellfish. It was easy to distinguish them from one's line of sight. They were light green, dark green, and dark green. Looking down from the sky, they looked like pearls embedded in the sea.
The reef formed by the Shallow Sea Emperor Oyster was not conspicuous, but Lou Xiaoyi could still find it with his precise positioning of the stars!
This was the battle he had chosen for himself, or it could be said that it was his escape route. In fact, when he was intercepted, he knew that this would be a fierce battle to the death!
When he had gone all out, the spell cultivators would have used methods to restrict his movements. The outcome was hard to predict. Every spell cultivator had a few hundred years more cultivation experience than him. This was not something that could be smoothed out in a short period of time.
Therefore, rather than saying that the spell cultivator was wearing down his magic power, it would be more accurate to say that he was beating the spell cultivator at his own game and bringing the spell cultivator to the battle space that he had chosen!
Now, he was still a few dozen miles away from the Emperor Oyster Submerged Reef. He could start now!
He leaped out of the battle circle, and his body flew outwards as he mocked.
"I'm a guest of the East China Sea, but it's the South Sea people who entertain me. How strange, how strange! The journey is long, and I have to conserve my strength for the journey. I'll take my leave now, there's no need to send me off! "
Gentle Breeze Daoist sneered, "If the Three Pure Ones don't say anything, can you leave?"
He pointed at Lou Xiaoyi, and he immediately felt the pressure, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back!
… Just as Lou Xiaoyi thought, the three of them did have the intention of wearing down the Swordsman's magic power!
The Swordsman was known for their explosive power, and no one in the cultivation world could compare to them. Especially when they were forced into a desperate situation, they were even more ferocious. It was not difficult to drag someone down with them, but the question was, who would be willing to be the scapegoat?
The three of them were cultivators who came to the Five Elements Sect for an exchange. This was a tacit understanding formed between the two sects over thousands of years. When the Five Elements Sect was first established, it received a lot of help from the Three Pure Ones. In this regard, the Dharma Vein had an innate advantage that the Sword Vein could not compare to!
The news of Wei Wuji arrived at this time, and someone in the Five Elements Sect revealed it to the guests. Thus, there was the future!
The Three Pure Ones had countless spies in the major provinces, and this was the characteristic of the Three Pure Ones. Their expansion and influence were always silent, and never stopped. In view of the fact that Taoism was spread throughout the cultivation world, their expansion was not as conspicuous as the Sword Vein and the Body Vein. By the time you discovered them, their wings were already fully grown!
The arrangements in the other provinces were better. Due to the great power of the Three Pure Ones, the landlords often dared not speak out. However, it was different in the North Region. As long as there was solid evidence, they would definitely wipe out everything. Thus, it was difficult to establish and they had to be very careful.
The Knowledge Update Temple was the most successful example of the Three Pure Ones in the North Region. They were very careful and did not dare to cross the line. Many cultivators in the Knowledge Update Temple did not step out of the North Region in their entire lives because they were afraid that Xu Anyuan would be suspicious. Or it could be said that although there were suspicions, there was no actual evidence.
Wei Yan was a cultivator that the Three Pure Ones thought highly of. When he was building his foundation, he had received guidance from the three of them and could be considered half a teacher. However, he was killed by Xu Anyuan's Cigarette Butt on the Jima Peninsula in the South China Sea. This caused quite a stir among the Three Pure Ones. Thus, after many inquiries, they had a preliminary understanding.
This time, they heard that Cigarette Butt had come to the East Sea. How could they let go of such a rare opportunity?
However, before they attacked, they knew that the Swordsman was difficult to deal with. Thus, even though the three of them surrounded him, they had to exhaust his mana as much as possible. This was the essence of a battle between cultivators. Just like the Swordsman's speed, cultivators of the Dharma were best at grinding!
Of course, both sides knew each other's characteristics like the back of their hands. Just like how a cultivator of the Dharma would not compete with a Swordsman in terms of speed, a Swordsman would not compete with a cultivator of the Dharma. His interest had been exhausted and he felt that there was no need to continue fighting. It was normal for the Swordsman to start running. It would be abnormal if he continued to grind!
Now, it was time to see who was the real deal!
Lou Xiaoyi felt his body sink. He immediately understood that he had been hit by the most effective technique of the Dharma meridian against agile opponents — Mountain Crush!
This was a technique that activated a mysterious force. Wherever the technique was directed, the opponent would feel as if they were carrying a mountain on their back! The mountain wasn't smashed, but it was a directional weight transfer. The higher a cultivator's cultivation was, the more they could carry the weight of the mountain. Through a mysterious connection, the weight of the mountain could be pressed down on the opponent's body. It couldn't be touched or seen, but the weight of the mountain could be felt!
Regardless of whether it was in the Five Rings or in the books of Mount Yi, there were descriptions of this technique and corresponding countermeasures. The simplest and most direct way was to use the mysterious force against the mysterious force to remove the mysterious force of the opponent's mysterious force! However, just like how not every cultivator of the Dharma meridian had the mysterious ability to cast Mountain Crush, not every Swordsman had the mysterious ability to remove the mysterious force of the opponent's mysterious force.
There were other non-mysterious methods as well. For example, entering and exiting a space or enchantment with strong enough concealment would naturally cause the mysterious force to disappear. Another example was to use a fake death talisman to deceive the mysterious force.
Lou Xiaoyi did not have such a space or enchantment, nor did he know how to fake his death. However, he had the Luck Severing Flying Sword and could directly deal with the mysterious force.
However, he did not want to reveal it just yet!
Just like how the three Taoists wanted to kill him, he wanted to kill them too! Towards those who provoked him, he would not consider any other countermeasures other than death!
