421. Chapter 420: Cross-dimensional Escape

Seeing the formation unlock, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was now convinced that this immortal cultivator Lin Caiyi was truly dead, and not faking death to ambush him. After all, these people from the Profound Immortal Continent were truly too insidious, with too many trump cards, impossible to guard against, simply despicable to the extreme.

Fortunately, he was not a gentleman either. He estimated they wouldn't have thought that a martial artist from the Four Seas and Eight Continents would use poison when fighting an enemy.

"Lin Caiyi."

Once the formation unlocked, the immortal cultivators of the Profound Immortal Continent immediately became agitated.

"Damn it, Lin was poisoned to death. This poison is so overbearing, even divine sense can be eroded. This guy is cheating."

"This duel is unfair. That magic needle can actually break the high-grade spirit artifact Elder Elder Xuan Gui Armor. This is clearly cheating. A mere Earth native, a Soul Realm evolver, how could he have the means to break a high-grade defensive spirit artifact? Someone must have assisted him secretly."

"The Heaven Thunder Talisman couldn't kill this guy. He is not as simple as the Soul Realm, hiding very deeply, actually carrying a powerful bloodline, not afraid of thunder method. This Daoist feels his opponent should be the Jin Dan stage, not the Foundation Establishment stage."

Divine senses swept across the battlefield.

They quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and were also surprised by the magic needle beside Li Yi.

It was just that divine sense was stabbed when it swept across the magic needle, which was extremely painful. If this thing didn't exist, a high-grade spirit artifact would be enough to make Li Yi feel despair. After all, at that time, Lin Caiyi had already taken the elixir, restored her magic power, and passed the most dangerous time.

Facing the dissatisfaction of these immortal cultivators, the students of the Golden Academy were also angry.

"You immortal cultivators are full of shit, guys without assholes for sons. If you want to cheat, you are the ones cheating. A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator can actually hit a blow comparable to a Jin Dan cultivator, and there is a high-grade spirit artifact. Isn't that thing only qualified for Jin Dan cultivators to use?"

"That's right, how can a Foundation Establishment cultivator have so many life-saving trump cards? If you Jin Dan cultivators didn't secretly assist, I wouldn't believe it even if I died."

"Life-and-death duel, rules are not limited. If you can't play, don't play, roll back to the Profound Immortal Continent."

Although they couldn't beat the opponent, they couldn't be scolded by the opponent, right? All kinds of words surrounding the eighteenth generation of ancestors were blurted out.

Li Yi looked at the noise outside the field at this moment and immediately understood. He killed Lin Caiyi, making these immortal cultivators lose face. They couldn't accept this result and wanted to use the opportunity to make trouble.

But the essence is still using power to oppress people. If the strength of both sides were equal, how would these immortal cultivators dare to say these words?

Li Yi didn't say much, just walked over in big strides, preparing to take away all the treasures on Lin Caiyi. She also had storage magic treasures. Now that he won the duel, these things should belong to him.

However, at this moment.

A cold light descended from the sky, turning into a flying sword. The flying sword floated in mid-air, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Li Yi, blocking his footsteps.

"If you dare to move again, this Daoist will definitely let you know the sharpness of the high-grade spirit sword." A Jin Dan cultivator flew to the duel stage, his expression indifferent, and his threatening tone was full.

"Lost and don't admit it? My sword is also not necessarily blunt." Li Yi was not afraid at all. The Flying Eye Needle was shining, like a flying sword hitting the opponent's flying sword directly.

This Jin Dan cultivator was furious upon seeing this: "Bold."

He immediately controlled the flying sword to avoid the attack of that magic needle, and then slashed toward Li Yi's wrist.

With the sharpness of the flying sword, if he was slashed, Li Yi's palm would only be accounted for here.

"Arrogant." Li Yi was also furious, not afraid at all, wanting to take out the golden coffin to release the supernatural, and trap this Jin Dan cultivator in the ghost domain. At worst, fish die and nets break.

However, at this very moment.

A terrifying pressure came from the dueling platform.

Instantly.

That high-grade flying sword lost control and fell to the ground. Even this Jin Dan cultivator could not stand steady and immediately fell from high altitude, crashing down heavily. His entire body was plastered against the ground, his bones snapping and breaking with a crackling sound, and fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.

"Tai Xianweng, spare my life!" this Jin Dan cultivator shouted in terror.

A Soul Transformation powerhouse could easily suppress and kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone him, a Jin Dan cultivator.

Tai Xianweng?

Hearing this, all the immortal cultivators shut their mouths and stopped speaking, then hurriedly lowered their heads and stood respectfully to the side, not daring to make the slightest rash move.

Such pressure left the Jin Dan cultivator unable to move, but Li Yi, who was standing nearby, was not affected in the slightest. From this, one can see the exquisite control this Tai Xianweng has over his magic power.

At this moment.

Everyone discovered that above their heads, an old man with crane-white hair and a youthful face was squinting his eyes and surveying the surroundings.

Someone had died on the dueling platform, and as the owner of the treasure, Tai Xianweng naturally had a sense of it.

And through the dueling images recorded by the platform, Tai Xianweng immediately understood the entire process of the matter. Although Lin Caiyi's death was indeed frustrating, life-and-death duels on the platform were inherently like that; both sides had their own trump cards and follow-up moves, various killing techniques, and there was nothing to say if one's skills were inferior.

Moreover, what time is it now? During the visit to the Golden Academy, investigating Earth and information about the gods.

Usually, winning or losing a duel is one thing, and even if someone died, as long as the duel was fair, the Golden Academy would have nothing to say.

But if it were like this... if Tai Xianweng were intentionally biased, then the meaning of this visit would be completely lost.

"Hmph!" Tai Xianweng was very dissatisfied and snorted heavily.

Instantly, the immortal cultivators near the dueling platform suffered a heavy blow to their minds, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and they were all sent flying.

But they did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction; they stood up in panic and continued to stand respectfully.

Seeing that their attitude was still upright, Tai Xianweng then slowly descended from the air, and then with a kind and benevolent expression said: "I am very sorry, this old Daoist did not restrain them strictly, leading to some incidents that added trouble to you students. Here, this old Daoist apologizes to you students."

After finishing, he bowed, expressing his apology.

"This old Daoist already knows the process of this duel. In a life-and-death duel, Lin Caiyi's skills were inferior, so there is nothing to say. Congratulations to young friend Li Yi for winning this duel. Indeed, the Golden Academy also has many talents; given time, young friend Li Yi will definitely have a boundless future."

As he spoke, he slightly sized up Li Yi and then said with a smile.

Although Tai Xianweng was very kind, Li Yi felt like needles were pricking his back, and his soul gave a warning.

He did not think this great Soul Transformation cultivator was just a good person. His snort of anger shocked the entire scene in an instant, showing that he was also a ruthless character with a Bodhisattva's face and a Vajra's heart, capable of using thunderous means if things didn't go his way.

"I wouldn't dare; I won by luck." Li Yi cupped his hands and bowed.

Tai Xianweng then reached out and waved his hand, and Lin Caiyi's corpse disappeared, but then he left behind some treasures: "As the saying goes, the soul returns to the soul and the earth returns to the earth. This old Daoist must send Lin Caiyi's corpse back to the Profound Immortal Continent for a proper burial. As for the spirit artifacts she left behind, they naturally belong to the young friend; please accept them."

A storage spirit artifact, a Profound Light Shield, a high-grade spirit artifact Profound Turtle Shell, a set of formations, and a mid-grade flying sword destroyed into two pieces.

For a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to have this net worth is quite astonishing.

But Li Yi's gaze flickered slightly, and he immediately said: "Tai Xianweng, previously those Jin Dan cultivators had boasted that they wanted to gamble their net worth with me. Now that I have won, these items left by Lin Caiyi are, I fear, not enough for compensation."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Tai Xianweng's gaze swept over the other Jin Dan cultivators outside the dueling platform.

Seeing everyone shut their mouths and say nothing, he immediately understood.

This matter must be true.

Tai Xianweng smiled and said: "No matter. Since this old Daoist has come forward to preside over this matter, it will definitely be fair and just; I will not let the young friend suffer a loss. Young friend, show whatever net worth you have. If it is not enough, this old Daoist will make up the difference."

Once these words were spoken.

The other Jin Dan cultivators couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

Daring to squeeze Tai Xianweng for benefits—is this person tired of living? I don't know if you have the life to take it, but do you have the life to use it?

Li Yi certainly understood this point in his heart, but he had already killed someone, so why fear offending the immortal cultivators of the Profound Immortal Continent? Moreover, he was currently dirt poor and needed resources to cross dimensions and cultivate. Today, he even dared to risk his life, so why wouldn't he dare to offend this Tai Xianweng?

"With the Immortal's words, this junior is relieved."

After finishing, his storage artifact moved.

Instantly, the corpses of more than two hundred extraordinary creatures appeared on the dueling platform.

Most of these corpses were at the Soul Realm level, and there were also quite a few at the Spirit Power Realm level.

It wasn't that they were particularly rare things, but they won by their large quantity.

"So many corpses of extraordinary creatures? Did Li Yi flatten the danger zone?" Di Zhuan, who was nearby, was shocked to see this.

"I heard from the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau that Li Yi had cleared out all extraordinary creatures within a hundred kilometers of the danger zone a while ago. This Daoist thought the news was fake, but I didn't expect it to be true." Daoist Priest Peter revealed a look of admiration upon seeing this.

With this one act alone, who knows how many people were indirectly saved.

"Li Yi was punished before and had to hunt one hundred extraordinary creatures before he could return to the academy. He actually went and completed it." Police Officer Wu Zuohua also appeared near the dueling platform at some point, and he was very surprised.

"These corpses of extraordinary creatures number at least two or three hundred; the quantity is truly large."

At this moment.

Tai Xianweng smiled slightly upon seeing this: "Corpses of spirit beasts? That's easy to handle."

As he spoke, he waved his large sleeve, and a scorching firelight instantly surged out, covering the sky and earth, instantly covering all the corpses of the extraordinary creatures.

Amidst the firelight, the corpses melted rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared completely.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment.

But soon he discovered something was wrong.

These corpses were not burned away; rather, all the Qi and blood essence had been refined out, and what remained were medicinal dregs, which had no use at all.

"For these spirit beast corpses, this old Daoist will help you refine them into Spirit Blood Pills as compensation," Tai Xianweng said, and then glanced at the Jin Dan cultivators again.

These Jin Dan cultivators trembled all over; not daring to be careless, they hurriedly took out various spirit medicines from their storage spirit artifacts.

These spirit medicines flew over and merged with the Qi and blood essence, forming pills that were as red as red jade.

There were a full three hundred pills.

"Young friend, catch." Tai Xianweng waved his hand again, and these Spirit Blood Pills all flew toward Li Yi.

Li Yi immediately felt a majestic medicinal Qi rushing toward his face, and the Qi and blood in his entire body were surging.

It can be seen that these so-called Spirit Blood Pills are extraordinary.

He was not polite either and immediately accepted them all.

But Li Yi did not stop while he was ahead; instead, he spread his palm, and half a knife-coin was revealed: "I have one incomplete strange item."

"Easy to say."

Tai Xianweng glanced at the incomplete knife-coin, sighed to himself that it was a pity, and then said no more, signaling to a Jin Dan cultivator.

That Jin Dan cultivator felt some heartache as he took out a strange bone. Although he didn't know what kind of bone it was, it emitted an energy field and was clearly also a strange item, but the strange bone was only half a piece, incomplete, so its value was greatly discounted.

"That's the incomplete strange item I lost." Di Zhuan's heart was dripping blood.

But thinking that this thing ended up in Li Yi's hands, he felt a little better.

Being obtained by Li Yi is better than being taken away by the enemy.

Li Yi was also not polite and accepted this incomplete strange item. He pointed again at Shanyi outside the dueling platform: "That is my mount."

Another Jin Dan cultivator was also very understanding and immediately threw out a jade plate in pain: "This is a spirit beast plate; it forms its own space, and you can raise spirit beasts in it and carry them with you."

Others also stared at Li Yi.

That's enough; stop while you're ahead and don't push your luck.

Li Yi, however, ignored their murderous glares. Anyway, he had already offended them, so why not offend them to the end?

Finally.

Taking some risk, he took out that Seven-Colored Stone.

The Seven-Colored Stone, comparable to a complete strange item, emitted an astonishing energy field as soon as it appeared, just like that dragon scale from before.

As soon as this thing appeared, those Jin Dan cultivators were shocked.

They were even more surprised than when they saw the Needle of the Flying Eye.

"What is the value of this item?" Li Yi stared at Tai Xianweng.

He knew the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime; logically, these things should not be exposed, otherwise, it would easily invite a fatal disaster. But he was also prepared that after this battle, he would immediately cross dimensions and leave, hiding while cultivating to avoid the storm.

As for the future, he couldn't worry about that much anymore.

Tai Xianweng was also stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Li Yi to have such a treasure. Although he had never seen a Seven-Colored Stone, based on the intuition of a Soul Transformation cultivator, this must be, like the dragon scale, a material for refining top-tier treasures—no, even immortal artifacts.

"Young friend certainly has many opportunities," he praised.

Li Yi said: "If you risk your life, you can always get some good things; I can't compare to the people of the Profound Immortal Continent, flying through the sky and escaping the earth, acting as carefree immortals."

Tai Xianweng did not look at those Jin Dan cultivators; they couldn't afford the value of this Seven-Colored Stone, so he could only compensate for it himself.

Either return the dragon scale, or...

"I've been schemed against."

Tai Xianweng still had a kind and benevolent appearance. By now, how could he not know that this Golden Academy student had come prepared, carrying many treasures to gamble his net worth with Lin Caiyi? Those Jin Dan cultivators had also paid the price for their arrogance. Now that they had compensated this much, they could only bite the bullet and continue compensating.

Otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.

"Great courage; did you never think about losing?" Tai Xianweng asked faintly.

Li Yi smiled: "I am a mere martial artist. If I lose, I just die. Without the determination to be smashed to pieces, how could I have won this match by luck?"

"Not bad." Tai Xianweng nodded in approval, then waved his wide sleeves, and that treasure mirror from before appeared before his eyes.

"This is a low-grade treasure that this old Daoist carries with him, the Glazed Golden Light Mirror. Its value can be considered equivalent to your Seven-Colored Stone, so I will compensate you with it."

Although he felt the heartache, it was even more impossible to return the dragon scale.

"Many thanks, Immortal, for the gift." Li Yi cupped his hands and bowed, then immediately accepted it.

After one duel, he could be considered to have made a fortune.
