364. Chapter 364: Evil Outsider

Li Yi, upon sensing the riot of the surrounding cosmic energy, thought of a way to deal with it. He didn't understand this High Priest's strength, nor did he know the power of the magic in this world. The only way was to make the opponent hesitate to act.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and waved, and a Gang Qi of silver radiance flew out instantly, flying toward that row of stone houses.

Li Yi's Gang Qi couldn't kill the warriors of Mount Shoushan Village, but destroying houses and damaging the village was easy.

"Despicable."

The High Priest Maisui's disappeared figure suddenly emerged. He cursed loudly, then waved the jade-green staff in his hand. The violent cosmic energy was controlled by him, condensing a golden radiance in front of the staff. Afterward, this gorgeous and eye-catching golden light slashed over like a sharp sword.

The silver Gang Qi shattered instantly, and the remaining power of the golden light, like a sharp sword, turned a circle in mid-air and rushed straight at Li Yi.

Li Yi's peak blood and energy were still there at this moment, because the frequency of his fighting with people was not high, and his physical fitness was extraordinary, so the state of maintaining the peak was longer than ordinary martial artists of the Four Seas and Eight Continents, so he didn't dodge upon seeing the attack.

He took out the bottle containing the Fei Eye Needle, then with a thought, the divine needle soaked in water suddenly moved and flew out directly.

Without the containment of water, this Fei Eye Needle immediately became brilliant with divine light. Just one look at it made one's eyeballs ache, and one didn't dare to look for long.

Li Yi's Gang Qi rolled back, rushing to kill from mid-air. The Fei Eye Needle took the lead, directly hitting the golden radiance of the opponent, and in just one encounter, it shattered it, and afterward, it rushed straight at this High Priest named Maisui.

"What?"

This High Priest was very shocked. He seemed not to have expected that the needle in the bottle had such power, and it had been placed on the desk before without serious study.

The divine needle flew over, its sharpness unstoppable.

This High Priest, after witnessing the power of this divine needle, didn't dare to entangle with it, and his figure disappeared strangely again.

The divine needle missed, and Li Yi also lost his target.

But soon.

Li Yi sensed it immediately and looked at an open space not far away. The High Priest named Maisui appeared there, he didn't know when. He almost didn't hesitate, his blood and energy rolled, Gang Qi condensed, and he slashed out over a dozen silver blade Gang Qi within a few seconds.

"Keep dodging, and your village will be gone."

He didn't want to entangle with him, only wanting to finish the battle quickly.

However, the High Priest also clearly saw that Li Yi's state couldn't be maintained for long. He didn't want to fight Li Yi to the end, only wanting to maneuver and delay time. Once Li Yi's state passed, the situation would naturally improve.

But right now.

The High Priest had to stand up to protect the village. He waved the jade-green staff in his hand again, cosmic energy gathered, and formed a wall of flowing light and strange colors in front of him. This wall looked fragile, but the silver blade Gang Qi slashed on it and only left a gap, not splitting it open.

But the remaining Gang Qi flew around, splitting the ground and destroying houses. Just one strike turned a piece of housing into ruins.

"Naturally evil outsider." The High Priest Maisui was furious upon seeing this scene.

"Avoiding the battle, aren't you despicable too?"

Li Yi scolded loudly, then felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that the time his peak blood and energy could maintain was not much left.

Fortunately, he had already retrieved all the things he lost. What he had to do now was leave here. And judging from the current situation, the powerhouse named Juejiao was not in the village. For him now, it was a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity.

"I am not a warrior, just a High Priest. Fighting is not my strength," Maisui said: "But even so, I have the responsibility to keep you. If you are let go, Mount Shoushan Village will surely suffer a destructive disaster in the future."

Speaking of this, he raised the jade-green staff in his hand.

At this moment, the originally dim sky instantly became covered with dark clouds. Afterward, in those dark clouds, there appeared streaks of vermilion lightning. These lightning bolts traveled and shuttled like spirit snakes, and became more and more dense. In the end, there were bursts of thunder.

Li Yi's soul gave a warning at this moment, smelling great danger.

He saw that this High Priest was using some kind of dangerous magic, and the opponent wanted to use it just now, but was forcibly interrupted by him. But it seems there was no way to stop the opponent this time.

"Thunder Fighter, fire."

Li Yi issued the order to fire unceremoniously. If he didn't blast this High Priest to death, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave today.

After the Thunder Fighter received Li Yi's order, it immediately shot a high-energy beam.

The High Priest Maisui's figure disappeared again.

Afterward, the place where he was located was hit by the high-energy beam, and a deep pit appeared suddenly. If this strike had successfully hit, it might have taken away this High Priest's life.

Maisui, who had disappeared, appeared strangely on the roof of a stone house. He continued to wave the staff in his hand, controlling the magic, and directing the thunder.

"It's coming!"

Li Yi's soul gave a crazy warning at this moment. He sensed danger, Gang Qi operated, and the whole person rushed toward the Thunder Fighter's position at the fastest speed.

There was no way to kill this High Priest who was proficient in magic in a short time, so he could only leave now. If he continued to stay, once his blood and energy decayed, he would be finished.

Boom!

A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and afterward, vermilion thunder descended from the sky and struck Li Yi's body in an instant.

The speed of the thunder was too fast, almost impossible to dodge.

But at this extremely dangerous moment, the Fei Eye Needle was brilliant and dazzling, emitting divine light, blocking in front of Li Yi.

He knew he couldn't dodge the lightning strike, but he knew the direction of the lightning strike. As long as he suspended the divine needle above his head, he just had to wait for the lightning to strike down and be automatically caught by the Fei Eye Needle.

But even though the Fei Eye Needle forcibly tore open a lightning bolt, under the influence of the remaining power, Li Yi was still struck on half of his body.

Immediately, that half of his body turned charred and instantly lost all sensation.

He vomited blood, and his physical state was already at its worst. If it weren't for taking out the heart blood and forcibly recovering to the peak, this body of his would have already collapsed.

"Today's hatred, I will surely repay another day."

After Li Yi forcibly withstood this strike, he leaped up. After the Thunder Fighter forced back the High Priest Maisui with several consecutive attacks, it opened the cockpit and successfully caught Li Yi.

"Leave here," he ordered immediately.

"Don't even think about escaping." The High Priest Maisui appeared again after dodging the attack. Looking at the devastated village, he was furious and cast magic again.

Streaks of thunder fell crazily, striking the fighter.

But the Thunder Fighter from the Sixth World itself had a design to prevent lightning strikes, otherwise, how could it fly through thunderclouds? So when these streaks of thunder fell on the fighter, the fighter was unscathed, and instead, because of these lightning strikes, the fighter was charged.

"What?"

The High Priest Maisui was very shocked to see his magic was useless.

However, there was no answer to his surprise. After the Thunder Fighter started, it advanced at full speed, soon broke the sound barrier, roared away, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, let the opponent escape." The High Priest Maisui was very annoyed. If he had been more decisive in his action, it would have been fine. Now that this evil outsider had run away, he would surely retaliate in the future. If he had known it would be like this, he should have chopped off their heads to sacrifice to heaven that day.

The reason for hesitation was that Maisui was worried about attracting the opponent's clansmen after killing them, so he wanted to investigate clearly before taking action.

"High Priest, are you okay?"

"High Priest, where is the enemy?"

After the Thunder Fighter flew away, warriors from other parts of Mount Shoushan Village came over one after another.

"You came too late, the enemy has already run away. From today on, the whole village will be under martial law. Notify Juejiao and let him bring people back from the city immediately. Don't go out hunting during this period. If this matter is not handled well, our Mount Shoushan Village will be destroyed," Maisui knocked the staff heavily, very anxious.

"Now, how is the situation in the village?"

A big man said: "Shanguo is severely injured, but not dead yet. Zhunhuan, Tiezu, and Lieshi, those three kids, are dead..."

"How could that evil outsider take action against a few children?" Maisui said angrily.

The man holding the large bow before lowered his head and said: "It was Zhunhuan who shot a few arrows at that outsider and wanted to challenge him. That outsider couldn't bear it, so he took action."

"Bastard."

Maisui couldn't help but scold: "Even eagles know to starve to death after being captured. How could a person who can defeat Zhongchi be willing to be humiliated by a few young people? You can not give him food, you can give him a dirty house to live in, but you cannot humiliate him. Now that others have escaped with hatred, they will surely retaliate in the future."

"Then I will go and hunt him down." The man holding the large bow's face changed, and he said hurriedly.

"That outsider has already flown away by some kind of artifact and cannot be hunted down at all. I have always warned you not to break the rules, but you didn't listen."

Saying this, Maisui raised his staff and hit the big man, looking like he hated iron for not becoming steel: "Hurry up and watch over the other few outsiders. Maybe we can still use the lives of his companions to make a deal and exchange for the peace of Mount Shoushan Village."

He soon thought of Jiang Mingtian, Hu Fei, and Zhao Fangji.

If the opponent cared about the lives of his companions, there was still a turning point in this matter.

"Okay, High Priest, I know." The big man responded hurriedly.

"No need, you guys disappointed me too much. I'll go to this matter myself," the High Priest Maisui finished speaking, then walked angrily toward a certain direction of the village with his staff.

Soon, Maisui came to the place where others were held.

But it was empty here, and there was no one.

"Where are those few outsiders? Where did they go?" The High Priest Maisui asked immediately.

The dungeon didn't have any traces of being destroyed, and it didn't look like they had escaped.

At this time, a man responsible for watching over lowered his head slightly and said: "Yesterday, a caravan came to the village. The village chief felt that these few outsiders were injured and wouldn't live long, and didn't want to waste precious medicine to treat them, so he sold them. One hundred coins were sold for each person. The village chief took that money and bought a large amount of food and medicine, sent it to the injured Zhongchi's family, and also distributed some to families who couldn't get enough to eat."

"Sold them?" The High Priest Maisui staggered and almost fell upon hearing this news.

Didn't he say not to sell them, and wait until he figured out the identity of these people before making a decision?
