Chapter 188: Evil Name

~9 min read 1,794 words

Feng Yue's ugly face was extremely ugly, and he never expected that the other party would dare to tease him, and the anger in his heart rose up.

Although he hadn't succeeded in Foundation Establishment that year, relying on a few good magic treasures and fierce and ruthless means, he was famous among the low-level disciples of the various sects!

You must know, because of enmity, he had once locked other immortal cultivators in a dark room, tortured them for three days and three nights, making them wail day and night, before killing them.

Ordinary disciples, not to mention seeing him in person, even hearing his name, would turn pale and immediately flee far away.

Such an evil name should have been sought out by those Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who didn't like him and eliminated. But he was also cunning. Although he was ferocious to low-level immortal cultivators, once he saw someone whose strength was far above his, he would immediately flee back to Heaven's Gate to avoid it, and Heaven's Gate, for the sake of its own prestige, would naturally not hand him over.

Thus, those who chased him were tied by their hands and feet, and could only stare blankly, watching him be carefree!

And after the wind of the chase passed, Feng Yue would swagger out of the fort again, and then continue to poison other immortal cultivators. After several times like this, those experts had to pinch their noses and admit it, and were too lazy to ask about this matter again! Anyway

Because of this, Feng Yue's fierce reputation and notoriety grew even more rampant among the seven sects! This also made him increasingly unscrupulous, gradually fostering an arrogant and domineering mindset where he considered himself supreme and his word law! Aside from a few individual disciples from other sects whose reputations were not beneath his own, he simply no longer regarded other low-tier cultivators in his eyes.

Yet now, Han Li, this rookie who was only at the eleventh layer, had actually spoken words about killing him. How could this not enrage Feng Yue, who was accustomed to being arrogant!

"You're courting death!"

Enraged, Feng Yue was no longer willing to let Han Li live for even one more second. He flicked the small knife in front of him, and the object transformed into a yellow rainbow, flying straight toward Han Li's head, intending to decapitate him in one strike. He was confident that although the opponent wore a blue water-attribute protective barrier, under the strike of his talisman treasure, it would definitely shatter and the person would die.

Han Li, however, would not let the opponent have his way. Without changing his expression, he raised a hand, and a small black shield grew from small to large after leaving his hand. He cast it out, and it firmly blocked the yellow radiance exactly two zhang away.

When the yellow radiance of the small knife touched the black light on the shield's surface, it emitted a "squeaking" friction sound. Although the yellow radiance immediately gained the upper hand, pressing the black light back step by step, the small shield did not show weakness, continuously emitting black light to put up a stubborn resistance.

In this way, the yellow radiance would be unable to shatter the shield and enter for a while.

Seeing this scene, Feng Yue was completely surprised, while Han Li let out a light sigh of relief.

Feng Yue had not expected Han Li to possess such a rare top-tier defensive magic tool, while Han Li felt relieved that his deduction had been correct.

He had actually taken quite a risk using this Heaven-Flying Shield to hard-resist the opponent's talisman treasure; if the talisman treasure's power had been far beyond his expectations, he would have already been decapitated.

That day, when confronting "Senior Brother Lu," he had managed to stalemate his flying sword talisman treasure for a long time just by relying on the top-tier magic tool, the Green Flood Dragon Flag. Even if the power of Feng Yue's small knife was slightly greater, his own Heaven-Flying Shield should be able to withstand it for a short while.

Based on these considerations, Han Li dared to take the risk.

Seeing that he was temporarily safe, Han Li immediately grabbed the "Golden Light Brick" talisman treasure in his hand, preparing to cast it out and kill the opponent in one fell swoop!

But before he could mobilize the spiritual power in his body and begin casting, Feng Yue opposite him suddenly shouted:

"Slut! Where do you think you're running?"

Following that, his figure flashed, and he appeared at the edge of another dense forest, blocking someone there.

The person who had been sneaking around, trying to run into the dense forest, was actually the yellow-clad woman.

It turned out that this woman saw that her side had no chance of winning, and coupled with Feng Yue's fierce reputation, she was terrified in her heart. She had taken advantage of the struggle between Han Li and Feng Yue, intending to slip away and escape.

Han Li had seen this woman's actions long ago; he felt somewhat annoyed, but couldn't be bothered to care.

Since the opponent couldn't help at all by staying here, whether she left or not was up to her!

However, since she had been the first to betray their alliance, he would not stop her escape, but he would also not offer any more help; let her fend for herself!

Han Li coldly wanted to ignore the woman, but Feng Yue, who was already burning with rage, was not so easily fooled.

He had already held a grudge against the yellow-clad woman along with Han Li because of Han Li's earlier words. Seeing her trying to slip away, he naturally wouldn't let her succeed! That was why he flew forward to block the yellow-clad woman's path.

As soon as Han Li's Senior Sister saw this scene, she was so frightened that she turned her head and ran like an ordinary person, forgetting to cast any spells at all.

Seeing this, Feng Yue's ugly face twitched a few times, then his figure spun around, and he once again appeared eerily in front of the woman. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised a hand and thrust a large hand glowing with yellow light directly into her chest, piercing through her back and turning into a blood-dripping hand.

The yellow-clad woman's corpse collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide open, but they had lost all luster. Before she died, she might have regretted the rash move of fleeing from Han Li's side, but there was no regret medicine to eat in this world!

Relying on the fact that he already knew the opponent had no magic tools or high-power talismans left, Feng Yue, who had killed the yellow-clad woman at close range, withdrew his hand, deliberately licked the blood beads still dripping from his fingers, and then looked at Han Li with a sinister grin.

He saw Han Li, who was hiding inside the protective barrier, with a pale face and tightly pursed lips. Although he wasn't shouting loudly, he must have been scared out of his wits. Feng Yue thought triumphantly.

In the past, his ability to easily win against enemies was actually largely due to his fierce reputation. As long as those who fought him thought of the consequence of falling into his hands—a fate worse than death—they would be three parts afraid before the battle even began, their actual strength would be greatly discounted, and defeat would become inevitable.

Now, seeing that although Han Li's cultivation technique was not deep, the magic tools on his body were truly not weak, Feng Yue intended to use the same tactic to intimidate the opponent, making him unable to fight with full strength, so that he could take full advantage.

Looking at the expression on Han Li's face now, the tactic seemed to have worked. Feng Yue, secretly delighted, swayed his feet a few times to show off, and returned to the original spot where he was confronting Han Li.

Han Li's expression was indeed not good, and he felt an indescribable sensation in his heart. However, it wasn't because of the opponent's bloody methods, but rather because he had a massive headache over the opponent's lightning-fast movement technique.

After Han Li had used the "Golden Light Brick" talisman treasure once last time, he had already discovered that this thing, which seemed to have power far exceeding the flying sword talisman treasure, actually had a huge flaw when truly facing an enemy.

Its destructive power was indeed astonishing; basically, as long as one was hit by it, a low-tier cultivator would have absolutely no way to survive, even if they had many magic tools and protective barriers on their body, it wouldn't change much. However, the weakness of this talisman treasure was equally obvious: not only did it need to absorb a large amount of the user's magic power to be manipulated and driven, but its speed and flexibility were truly speechless.

If one could entangle or trap the opponent beforehand, this talisman treasure would naturally perform a great feat, and it would be the best weapon for killing enemies. But if one were to just rely on the Golden Light Brick itself to kill an enemy, that was something not even worth thinking about. Unless the opponent's magic power was exhausted, otherwise, just a few simple buff spells would allow anyone to easily avoid this treasure's attack.

Therefore, this "Golden Light Brick" talisman treasure was not a grappling-type magic treasure similar to the flying sword talisman treasure or Feng Yue's small knife talisman treasure, but a weapon that purely pursued great power, and it should be the same type of thing as the Great Seal magic treasure of the Core Formation stage experts of Tianque Castle.

Because Han Li had no magic tools or talismans that could trap the enemy, his original plan was to use several golden blades to entangle the enemy first, and then use the golden brick to launch a surprise sneak attack. According to Han Li's thoughts, although this couldn't guarantee success, it should at least have a fifty-fifty chance!

But now, after seeing Feng Yue's movement technique, Han Li knew that this was simply wishful thinking. Relying on the speed the opponent displayed, which was no less than the Luo Smoke Steps, it would be easy for the opponent to temporarily break away from the entanglement of the magic tools.

Han Li felt extremely annoyed in his heart, but also somewhat puzzled. Could it be that this Feng Yue, like himself, also came from a background in the pugilistic world?
