222. Chapter 222: The Struggle of Cross-Dimensional Travelers

Only after truly fighting with a Soul Realm powerhouse did Li Yi understand how perverted cultivators at this realm were. Even without learning fist techniques, Soul Realm powerhouses could still mobilize the power of their bodies, instantly exploding with unimaginable power, and this power was far superior to Li Yi, an evolver who also practiced martial arts.

And this, it seemed, was still not the limit of a Soul Realm powerhouse.

But Li Yi's move this time wasn't reckless, nor was it arrogant, but to let these people understand that his strength was enough to kill Spirit Perception Realm cultivators and that he possessed the qualifications of a cross-dimensional traveler.

If he was forbidden from crossing dimensions because of his strength, then this reason didn't hold water.

Feeling Li Yi's strength, all the other Spirit Perception Realm evolvers in the conference room fell silent for a moment.

Recalling the punch just now.

If they really fought, they really wouldn't have the confidence to win against Li Yi.

Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes at this moment and stared at Li Yi: "So that's how it is. You had this idea. Very good, you have courage. Using my hand to demonstrate your strength. Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance. If the others present don't object to you joining the team, then I can take back what I just said and allow you to participate in the cross-dimensional travel."

After finishing speaking, he scanned the others again: "If you can defeat Li Yi, I can make the decision to transfer his cross-dimensional traveler quota to any one of you."

Since he wanted to demonstrate his strength, naturally he had to give some benefits.

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately made people feel tempted.

A cross-dimensional quota was such a precious thing. If one could get it, even if they didn't use it, they could sell it. Who knew how many benefits it could be exchanged for? And all they had to do was just defeat an Inspiration Realm cultivator here.

It was just that the strength Li Yi demonstrated just now was very extraordinary. Just one punch revealed the shadows of two techniques, and that power had already exceeded that of ordinary Spirit Perception Realm cultivators. Wanting to win wasn't a simple thing.

Moreover, defeating Li Yi and taking away someone else's quota was also a very offensive thing to do.

If they succeeded, that would be fine, but if they failed, this Li Yi wouldn't let it go easily.

"What? Are you all dumb? Not saying anything?" Zhang Xun said in a deep voice: "I'll give you one minute to consider. If no one says anything, then I will assume you tacitly approve of Li Yi joining the team and participating in this cross-dimensional operation."

Qin Bing, Xu Qiu Mei, and the other two Spirit Perception Realm experts were still showing looks of contemplation at this moment.

They didn't have any deep hatred for Li Yi, nor did they object to Li Yi participating in this cross-dimensional operation. It was just that they were tempted by the extra cross-dimensional traveler quota. Zhang Xun's words really hooked people's greed. For a moment, it was really difficult to make a choice.

"Li Yi's strength is not bad. I have no objection to him participating in this cross-dimensional travel," Qin Bing spoke up suddenly. He thought about it and decided to give up.

As a cultivator who came here on the same helicopter as Li Yi, he clearly felt on the plane that there was still a very surging power dormant in Li Yi's body. The punch just now wasn't Li Yi's limit, and he still had trump cards and backhands that he hadn't taken out. If anyone was blind enough to stand out, they would definitely suffer a big loss.

"I have no grudges with Li Yi, and it's not good to make a move. Moreover, Li Yi is an external combat personnel of the Investigation Bureau. We are all colleagues, so there's no need to fight each other," another male Spirit Perception expert shrugged and spoke up, not being tempted by Li Yi's cross-dimensional traveler quota.

Two people expressed their stance, and now only Xu Qiu Mei and the other female Spirit Perception expert remained.

Zhang Xun looked at them: "Time is running out. If you two have the same meaning, then this matter will end here."

"I had a conflict with this Li Yi last time. This time, it's such a coincidence that we are arranged in the same team to participate in the cross-dimensional mission. With his cultivation value, I estimate he will soon become Spirit Perception, and by then it will be difficult to avoid him taking revenge for the last time..." Xu Qiu Mei's eyes flickered: "If I can take away his cross-dimensional quota here and drive him back to Tianchang City, that would be the best."

Thinking of this.

Xu Qiu Mei took a deep breath and stood up: "Captain Zhang Xun, I want to try."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else looked at her.

"Xu Qiu Mei, do you feel that Li Yi's strength is not worthy of participating in this cross-dimensional operation? Good. If you can defeat him, then Li Yi's cross-dimensional quota will be yours. You can arrange for a Spirit Perception expert to replace his position before the cross-dimensional operation begins at noon tomorrow. I will handle other procedural issues," Zhang Xun said immediately.

"Okay."

Xu Qiu Mei agreed, and then stared at Li Yi, revealing a smile: "Li Yi, last time I said that if you want to take revenge, it's best to act fast. It seems you took those words to heart. I didn't expect you to be able to participate in the cross-dimensional operation. However, it's a pity that this time I want to suppress you and can't let you really turn things around."

Li Yi, however, said coldly: "If someone else made a move on me, I would at most cripple them, but if you make a move on me, I will kill you. You'd better consider it carefully."

His killing intent was undisguised.

For Xu Qiu Mei, his tolerance level was very low because this woman had bad intentions. She not only wanted to take away his quota but also wanted to take revenge on him because of the last incident.

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Xu Qiu Mei's face stiffened, and her expression became very unnatural.

She could feel that Li Yi was serious, and his tone was very confident, as if killing her wouldn't be difficult at all.

This...

Xu Qiu Mei felt she was in a difficult situation. Originally, she was just holding the attitude of giving it a try. Even if she couldn't beat Li Yi, it didn't matter. Anyway, she had already offended him, so offending him one more time didn't matter. But she didn't expect Li Yi to instantly escalate it to a life-and-death level, which instead made her hesitate.

After all, they were crossing dimensions tomorrow. If she were really killed by Li Yi here, how much of a loss would that be?

"What? Scared? Don't dare to make a move? Since you don't dare to make a move, then I will." Li Yi strode forward, his hands hanging down, a martial artist's invincible momentum pressing down, with a sense of wanting to make her bleed three feet.

Even a Soul Realm powerhouse, he dared to swing a punch at, let alone a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator.

Xu Qiu Mei's expression changed drastically. Spirit Perception warned her, and she smelled danger approaching, subconsciously taking a step back.

With her momentum weakened, Li Yi didn't let her off. The guidance technique operated, the cosmic energy in his body was mobilized, his hands shone brilliantly, and under the movement of Qi and blood, a wave of heat rushed toward his face. At the same time, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his momentum climbed to the peak.

It seemed that after being forced back by Zhang Xun just now, his state wasn't affected in the slightest, and he could still kill.

"Die!"

Suddenly, a roar sounded.

Li Yi moved again.

His tall body exploded with powerful divine strength in an instant. The surrounding air seemed to vibrate along with it. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Xu Qiu Mei like an extraordinary creature.

This time he didn't swing a punch, but raised his hand and struck with a palm.

A special burst of energy swirled on it, revealing a bit of mystery.

This was the Heart-Destroying Palm.

Because this palm energy was vicious and malicious, Li Yi rarely used it, but it didn't mean he couldn't use it. When he went to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, he took over two martial arts schools and understood the martial arts heritage of both. Not to mention the Heart-Destroying Palm, he could even use the Wind-Listening Saber, but he didn't like using the saber, so he didn't specialize in it.

"Don't be too self-righteous, Li Yi." Xu Qiu Mei didn't dodge at this moment. She gritted her teeth and chose to take Li Yi's strike head-on.

Bang!

A wave of energy vented. Xu Qiu Mei's expression changed drastically at this moment. She only then felt how terrifying the power Li Yi exploded was. This power had exceeded the limit that ordinary Spirit Perception Realm cultivators could bear. However, fortunately, this power lacked follow-up strength. As long as she resisted that moment of explosion, everything would be fine.

So after taking a palm, her figure retreated frantically, and finally hit and shattered several tables before she barely stopped.

Li Yi stood expressionless, withdrawing his hand.

"Nothing more than this, just all show and no substance," Xu Qiu Mei hummed, a look of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Don't hold on. Kneel down and spit blood," Li Yi said.

"I'm holding on? You really think your strength is very strong..." However, before she finished speaking, Xu Qiu Mei suddenly covered her chest, and a heart-piercing pain emerged. Her face turned pale instantly, and then her whole body couldn't stop bending over, kneeling on the ground.

Heart, so painful!

Xu Qiu Mei opened her mouth, wanting to breathe and gasp, but the next moment, a mouthful of blood gushed out.

The expressions of the others changed immediately upon seeing this.

What's going on?

Clearly, Xu Qiu Mei had resisted Li Yi's attack, so why did she suddenly kneel down and spit blood?

Doubt filled everyone's heart.

"Her heart is injured. That palm of yours has some tricks."

Zhang Xun's expression condensed, staring at Li Yi: "Clearly hitting the other person's body, but it can damage the other person's heart. At first glance, it's like being suddenly poisoned. What kind of technique is this? It's a bit like dark energy. I once went to a world where there was no cultivation, only national martial arts. People in that world practiced national martial arts to the extreme, and could practice a kind of dark energy in their power. Clearly just a light pat, but the person who was hurt seemed fine on the surface, but would spit blood and die on the night seven days later."

"This kind of technique is very profound and is an evolution of martial arts. However, it's not very useful for cultivators. After all, it's just the martial arts of ordinary people, and the achievements are limited. Moreover, the cosmic energy in that world is terribly thin, coupled with constant wars, so I didn't stay there for long and left quickly."

Li Yi looked at Zhang Xun with some strangeness. He didn't expect that he had actually been to other worlds. However, that world didn't seem good either. There was no cosmic energy, and there were constant wars, which was not suitable for cultivators to survive because once cultivators stayed in such a world with thin cosmic energy for a long time, they would degenerate, and by then they might even become ordinary people.

In the eyes of cross-dimensional travelers, such a world was not a good place because no one was willing to give up their cultivation and be willing to degenerate.

"This is my fist technique, not some dark energy. The cultivation circle in Tianchang City knows that I understand fist techniques. This is not a secret," Li Yi said calmly. "However, my fight with Xu Qiu Mei is not over yet. It won't be too late to ask these questions after I kill her."

After saying that, he wanted to make a move again.

However, at this moment, Xu Qiu Mei hurriedly said: "I admit defeat, I can't beat you, I admit defeat."

She was in heart-piercing pain now. If she made a move again, she estimated she would be tortured to death alive. This Li Yi didn't want to kill her openly at all, but just wanted to torture her. She saw it now.

After all, if he killed someone openly, Zhang Xun, as the captain, would definitely step in to stop it.

Sure enough.

Zhang Xun said calmly: "Xu Qiu Mei, since you admit defeat, then Li Yi will continue this cross-dimensional mission. If there are no other opinions, this farce ends here. In addition, if you had any conflicts or clashes before, it's best to endure it for now. After crossing dimensions, you can do whatever you want, and no one will care about you. But now, I still have to manage it. After all, we can't really have any loss of life."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yi.

"Very good, these words of yours are enough. After crossing dimensions, we will decide the winner and life and death between us, letting you live one more day," Li Yi stopped when he saw it was enough, but his killing intent didn't decrease in the slightest.

This guy dared to stand out and take his quota. Did she really think he was easy to bully?

Xu Qiu Mei's face turned pale again upon hearing this, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xun stopped talking, and the other Spirit Perception Realm cultivators also remained silent.

After all, the moment Xu Qiu Mei stood out, she had to bear the risk and price of failure. ===== CHAPTER 222 =====

After all, the moment Xu Qiu Mei stepped forward, she had to bear the risk and cost of failure.
