Chapter 482

"Is this the dog Yang Wei spoke of?"

Li Yi found it hard to believe at this moment that a vicious dog could actually reside within a person's soul. Did he not worry about soul rejection? And the existence of that vicious dog was very peculiar; it had no physical form, yet it was not a soul body, because as that vicious dog disappeared, no one could see where it went, not even the eyes of an Evolver could peer into it.

However, the appearance of that vicious dog just now made him smell a familiar aura.

Cold, eerie, the supernatural power unique to World No. 36.

"It's another undying evil entity; what a nuisance. I still have no way to crack the undying attribute of this world. It requires soul-type attacks to be useful; otherwise, no matter how many times they are hacked to death, they can resurrect. It's simply a waste of my time." At this moment, Yang Wei quickly retreated.

"Let the dog bite it. Although it takes a bit of time, it can still be solved, but letting my dog bite this thing is somewhat of a waste."

While speaking, everyone discovered that the Flame Demon, which was burning with hellfire all over, did not know what had happened at this moment and remained sluggish on the spot, unable to move, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep. However, its vast life aura still existed, which showed that the other party had not died, but it could not pose a threat in the short term.

"Do undying evil entities require soul attacks?" Li Yi heard this and looked at the silver giant axe in his hand.

*Gang Qi* was interwoven on the Yin Spirit Underworld Artifact, giving this silver giant axe the ability to damage souls. This also allowed him to easily kill existences like the Dead Soul Monster. Of course, his Wind-Calling Method could also burn souls; after all, it was a top-tier Daoist technique of the Daoist cultivation world, and its power would not disappoint.

It was just that there were risks in wantonly performing Daoist techniques in this world, which would attract the peeking of evil gods. He had already been very restrained when performing the Dividing the River to Create Land just now.

"A-Wei, although your weapon is sharp and indestructible, it does not possess the ability to slash souls. You must change to a piece of equipment." Ning Wu said.

Yang Wei said, "I know, so I want to slash off the head of this Flame Demon in front of me and seize its Hellfire Whip. In this way, I can temporarily possess a weapon that can deal with undying evil entities. Although I don't really like this thing, it's better than having nothing."

As he spoke, he looked at the silver giant axe in Li Yi's hand again.

"Alright, stop staring at the weapon in my hand. I'll help you chop off that Flame Demon's head and see if it can be killed. If it can, you can take that iron whip." Li Yi could see that this Yang Wei was eyeing his own things again. To dispel his idea, he immediately held the giant axe and rushed out.

At this moment, the Flame Demon remained motionless, becoming a huge living target. Under these circumstances, it could not pose any threat to Li Yi.

His speed was extremely fast, arriving in a flash like a streak of silver lightning.

Subsequently, the giant axe in his hand slashed out, wanting to cleave off the Flame Demon's head.

But the next moment.

The sound of metal clashing echoed. The silver giant axe condensed by his *Gang Qi* actually shattered directly. The black skin on the Flame Demon's body was like a layer of armor, and its defensive power was astonishing. Although Yang Wei slashed easily, that was because the Immortal Gold Treasure Sword in his hand was extraordinary and extremely sharp, but Li Yi's weapon was made by himself, and its strength was insufficient to cleave the other party's body.

"Little Li, what kind of scrap metal are you holding? It shattered with one effort. I thought it was some treasure. Sorry, I shouldn't have been interested in your broken axe just now." Yang Wei immediately shook his head.

Li Yi's face darkened: "It's a casual item that costs nothing; it's not bad that it can be used."

Subsequently, his Five Elements Bracelet glimmered. The next moment, a golden divine needle appeared out of thin air. Although this divine needle was not large, it was sharp to the extreme. Just one look at it made people feel their eyes stinging, unable to look directly at it.

This was the Eye Needle nurtured from the eye of the mythical creature *Fei*.

The divine needle moved according to Li Yi's will. After flying out, it only circled the Flame Demon's head once. The next moment, this huge head was slashed off, and then it transformed into a streak of golden light, wrapping around the Flame Demon's arm. Soon, its arm also fell off silently.

"Take it." Li Yi lifted his foot and kicked. That thick arm, along with the iron whip burning with hellfire on it, flew toward Yang Wei.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the huge iron whip fell to the ground. This iron whip was almost as thick as an adult's waist and at least tens of meters long. Such a huge size was simply not something an ordinary person could use.

"You are making things difficult for me. This thing is so big, how do you expect me to hold it?" Yang Wei gestured.

"Fairy, help him; use the Size-as-You-Wish technique to shrink it a bit." Li Yi said.

Xuan Yuezi had not made a move all along. Only when Li Yi said this did she pinch the magic formula and perform the Size-as-You-Wish technique. But seeing that huge iron whip in front of her shrinking continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye, only a moment passed before it had already transformed into a normal iron whip.

"Good magic."

Yang Wei's eyes lit up. Subsequently, the Immortal Gold Treasure Sword in his hand danced, slashing off the Flame Demon's arm, and then he picked up this iron whip burning with hellfire and waved it a few times.

At this moment, under the condition of operating the Heavenly *Gang* Indestructible Combat Method, he was proficient in all kinds of weapons. He could use the iron whip as soon as he held it, without worrying about waving it incorrectly and hitting himself.

"The Size-as-You-Wish technique should also be able to make things bigger, right?" Yang Wei looked at Xuan Yuezi and asked, while simultaneously having a bold idea.

"Naturally."

Xuan Yuezi said: "The Size-as-You-Wish technique can not only make objects change size at will, but it can also make one's own magic power change size—small ones are pure, large ones are boundless. However, this method is easy to learn but difficult to master; it is difficult to grasp unless one is exceptionally gifted and has excellent comprehension."

As the town-sect method of the Tianyi Sect, the Size-as-You-Wish technique was naturally wonderful beyond words. I don't know how many Daoist cultivators sought it but could not obtain it.

"Fairy, my comprehension is astonishing, and my talent is excellent; it is just suitable for learning the Size-as-You-Wish technique. How about you teach me this technique? I won't take advantage for nothing; I will give you a wish, a wish that comes true." Yang Wei said immediately.

Xuan Yuezi shook her head slightly and said: "I do not know the Size-as-You-Wish technique; what I have mastered is just some fur. The inheritor of this method is Li Yi; only he has the qualification to preach and teach."

Yang Wei subsequently looked at Li Yi again.

"The method is not easily passed on." Li Yi refused flatly.

Yang Wei laughed loudly: "Don't be so stingy; we can make a deal."

"The conditions you promised me have not been completed yet; you owe a debt of gratitude. If you want to make a deal, pay off the debt first. Otherwise, if you die one day, who should I go to for the debt?" Li Yi said: "Also, don't waste time at this moment; whatever happens, let's talk after leaving this darkness."

"That's true; I'll think about what conditions to use to move you later." Yang Wei said. He seemed very persistent about the Size-as-You-Wish technique and was unwilling to give up just like that. Li Yi did not object to making a deal with him, provided he could really help himself resurrect his mother and find his father.

The group continued to move forward.

However, the sea of hellfire burning in the surroundings had not extinguished, and it seemed that other dangers were lurking. But right now, they could not stop their pace; otherwise, the monsters would gather more and more, so they quickened their pace, attempting to force their way through this sea of fire.

Galloping along the road slashed out by Li Yi, braving the scorching of the raging fire, they crossed the huge body of that Flame Demon.

They thought that if they acted fast enough, they could avoid danger, but they hadn't advanced very far.

Suddenly.

In the high sky ahead, a crystalline, illusory fishing line hung down. At one end of the fishing line was a scarlet fishhook. The fishhook had eyes growing on it, and at this moment, the eyes were rotating, peeking at everyone, and it drifted straight over.

"Fishhook?"

Seeing this scene, Li Yi's eyelids twitched, and his speed of action could not help but slow down.

"Not good, it's the Evil God's fishhook. Someone among us has been targeted by the Evil God." That adventurer named Hai Li said: "Sure enough, one cannot display too powerful strength; otherwise, if detected by the Evil God in the darkness, it will hang down a fishhook to fish away powerful people, preventing anyone from breaking the blockade of darkness and escaping this world."

"Who is this fishhook aimed at?" Yu Chuan's gaze flickered, and he looked at Li Yi and A-Wei.

【i-55】 (Note: This line is a garbled tag/placeholder, skipping as per instructions)

Only these two people had made a move just now and displayed powerful strength, so the fishhook was highly likely aimed at fishing them.

However, just as everyone was guessing.

In the dark sky, another scarlet fishhook hung down, drifting toward the few people at an extremely fast speed.

A second fishhook?

Everyone was stunned.

"Good fellow, we are really unlucky; we were targeted by the Evil God just by making a slight move." Yang Wei's gaze became solemn: "This thing is not easy to deal with. Once targeted, it's like a maggot on the tarsal bone, impossible to shake off. And once hooked, the soul will immediately become silent, the body will be unable to move, and one will only be left to be slaughtered."

"I have encountered this thing before and have some experience in dealing with it." Seeing this, Li Yi did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out that cracked short stick.

Spending ten years of lifespan in exchange for one strike was the only way to solve it so far. Besides this, he could not think of a better idea.

Sure enough.

A fishhook drifted toward him, and the eye on it locked onto Li Yi, not wanting to let him leave this sea of fire.

"Might as well expose our strength and kill our way out of this darkness in one breath; dragging it out is not a solution." Seeing the fishhook hanging down, Xuan Yuezi knew that the evil creature in the darkness was acting up again. She could not bear it and wanted to perform Dragon-Tiger magic power to kill a few evil creatures and dash out of this world in one breath.

With her strength at the Three-Flower Realm, doing this should not be difficult.

"Fairy, don't be impatient. If you make a move and pierce through the darkness, you will attract even more terrifying existences. We have already suffered a loss before; there is no need to risk our lives now." Li Yi refused Xuan Yuezi's kindness.

He took a deep breath, *Gang Qi* shrouded his body, and he immediately flew out. He did not retreat but advanced, meeting that scarlet fishhook.

In one encounter, the cracked short stick in his hand hit the target.

The scarlet fishhook suddenly lost its vitality and actually fell down limply. The eye on the fishhook also closed immediately, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

"It worked." Seeing this, Li Yi felt a sense of relief in his heart.

It was just that he didn't know how long this strike could make this fishhook remain silent. Hopefully, it could last a bit longer.

On Yang Wei's side, he seemed to have no way to deal with this fishhook. He just gripped the Immortal Gold Treasure Sword in his hand tightly, standing on the spot and letting the fishhook attack his body.

"A-Wei, be careful." Ning Wu shouted loudly.

"It's okay." Yang Wei waved his hand.

The fishhook hit Yang Wei, and then the scarlet fishhook seemed to melt into his body, flesh and blood interwoven, parasitic within it, looking hideous and eerie.

However, soon.

The fishhook detached itself from Yang Wei's body and slowly ascended into the sky.

Everyone saw the fishhook take away something from Yang Wei's body.

That was an old, strange rag doll. No one knew who had sewn that rag doll; it was crooked and not exquisite at all. And that rag doll was actually still struggling on the fishhook, stretching its hands and feet to kick and hit wildly, wanting to break free from the restraint, but it was of no avail.

The final result was being taken by that fishhook into the depths of the darkness in the sky.

It seemed that this rag doll had replaced Yang Wei to go and die.

"Supernatural object?" Li Yi was slightly surprised.

Yang Wei laughed: "Likewise, likewise."
