Chapter 658: Escape

Li Yi saw the Divine Blood warrior from North Wilderness City chasing after him and didn't dare to be the least bit careless. He operated his magic power and performed the Cloud-Stepping and Fog-Driving Technique.

Fortunately, he had reached the Five Qi Realm. Although the Five Elements were not yet complete, they were at least all present. His magic power was now different from before, so he could exert the true power of the Daoist technique. Thus, his figure was now like a stream of light, cutting through the sky.

It was just a few seconds before he was already far away from North Wilderness City, disappearing into the horizon.

However, despite this speed, Li Yi still didn't shake off the Divine Blood warrior behind him.

A series of deafening sounds came from the heaven and earth behind him. A blue figure was erupting with unimaginable might, and that surging power was vented, as if to overturn this heaven and earth.

Anything blocking the front would be destroyed.

"Is this the strength of a Divine Blood descendant? So terrifying."

Li Yi felt the sense of crisis coming from behind, and his eyelids jumped. He estimated that the opponent's strength in the end-of-law cultivation world would start at the Three Flower Realm.

However, he didn't understand why the other party kept staring at him, why not go chase the strange blood warrior named Mao Qiu.

"Nv Heng, you are the shame of the North Wilderness lineage, daring to betray North Wilderness City."

An angry roar echoed, and the Divine Blood warrior named Da Ze erupted with another powerful force.

This power made his speed increase again, and he closed in to an extremely dangerous distance from Li Yi.

Not good!

Li Yi sensed the danger; the other party was going to keep him at all costs.

His idea was quickly verified.

Suddenly, a blue divine light attacked from behind. Although infinite power erupted, shaking the entire sky, under this might, the golden cloud of good fortune under Li Yi's feet was instantly shaken away.

His Cloud-Stepping Technique was forcibly broken by this savage power.

Li Yi didn't dare to be the least bit careless. He immediately poured his magic power into the Red-Feathered Purple-Gold Armor on his body.

Accompanied by a clear cry, a red divine bird spread its wings and flew, then opened its wings to protect Li Yi and Nv Heng on the side, while the light of the mid-grade defensive Daoist weapon was emitted.

Accompanied by a violent tremor.

The rosy light on the Red-Feathered Purple-Gold Armor was constantly collapsing under the bombardment of a terrifying power.

But fortunately, this Daoist weapon blocked this attack.

No matter how strong the opponent's power was, from such a long distance and covering such a large range, the power was dispersed a lot; otherwise, even if Li Yi wore this Daoist weapon armor, he would be in danger.

"Nv Heng, you helped the enemy escape, do you want to be hunted down by the North Wilderness lineage for generations?"

That Divine Blood warrior now appeared from a blue divine light. He was panting, covered in sweat, and his physical strength was severely exhausted.

After all, he didn't understand cultivation and magic, and relying on his physical body to cross such a long distance and constantly erupting power to chase and kill, even a Divine Blood descendant couldn't hold on.

However, the extraordinary physique gave this Divine Blood descendant named Da Ze powerful recovery ability.

Just panting, his strength was recovering rapidly.

If he ate and drank a meal, he could immediately return to his peak.

Nv Heng heard Da Ze's words and couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness. She hadn't thought that Da Yi would be so decisive in jailbreaking and rescuing Master Xiu Xiang. She could only cooperate with Da Yi and find a way to push this matter to that Mao Qiu.

However, it seemed that this didn't hide it from Da Ze's eyes.

"Da Yi, he is stalling for time to recover his strength. Don't hesitate, let's leave immediately; he can't catch up with us." Nv Heng didn't have any extra words, but urged Li Yi to leave earnestly.

Li Yi naturally saw that this Divine Blood descendant warrior Da Ze had consumed a lot of energy in his long-distance sprint, and that strike just now had exhausted his last strength; otherwise, he would have already killed his way over, and wouldn't be talking nonsense there.

"Go."

He was not a person who dragged his feet, and after stabilizing

However, when Daze saw that golden auspicious cloud appear beneath Li Yi's feet, he was instantly enraged.

It was very clear that the other party wanted to run again.

This escape speed was truly formidable; even as a Divine Blood Warrior, it was very difficult for him to catch up.

"Coward, you are also a Divine Blood Warrior; do you only know how to run?" Daze roared, forcing his exhausted body to charge over.

"My Divine Blood is currently undergoing a transformation. Once the transformation is complete, I will return to North Wasteland City to fight you," Li Yi said in a calm voice.

He was not stupid enough to fight someone with such immense strength right now.

This was not a matter of weakness, but of throwing his life away.

As he spoke, Li Yi raised his hand and threw a punch. Five-colored divine light surged, and the power of the dragon and tiger converged. This punch looked simple, yet it contained the fruits of his many years of cultivation, representing his peak strength.

Boom!

Between heaven and earth, the dragon and tiger roared, carrying the five-colored fist light as it transformed into an indestructible edge, meeting the Divine Blood Warrior Daze.

Feeling this power, Daze immediately cast aside his contempt. He discovered that the person before him was not weak at all; in North Wasteland City, he could even be considered a rather powerful warrior.

It was just that compared to himself, he was still far inferior.

At this moment, blue divine light intertwined around Daze's body, and then he crossed his arms to withstand the blow head-on.

The Five-Way River-Crossing and Land-Forming Great Art, combined with the power of the dragon and tiger—this strike was enough to pierce through mountains and rivers and sever lakes and seas. Yet, such power landing on Daze did not cause him any injury.

The other party had relied solely on his physical body to withstand Li Yi's peak strike, and he hadn't even worn armor.

"Truly a monster; he's simply not human," Li Yi's mouth twitched.

If such a scene were seen by the evolvers on Earth, they would be absolutely shocked.

But he also knew that this strike of his could not kill the other party; it only served to interfere with his pursuit. Therefore, after throwing the punch, the golden auspicious cloud beneath his feet immediately carried him away as he transformed into a streak of light and fled rapidly.

Daze blocked the strike, and after tearing through the power of the dragon and tiger, he watched helplessly as that golden streak of light swept across the firmament.

Exhausted, he simply could not catch up.

In the end, he could only roar in frustration, letting Li Yi escape.

After shaking off the pursuit of this powerful Divine Blood Warrior, Li Yi finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although the people of this world had obvious strengths, their shortcomings were also significant: they had no magic, and despite possessing immense, terrifying physical strength, they could not fully unleash it.

"You actually managed to escape Daze's pursuit," Nv Heng felt somewhat surprised at this moment.

She had thought just a moment ago that both of them were surely going to die.

"Powerful arrows cannot even penetrate silk when their force is spent. Even though Daze is a powerful Divine Blood descendant, his stamina was exhausted during the pursuit. Escaping is not a particularly difficult matter," Li Yi said calmly.

Nv Heng said, "But this is only escaping for now. The people of the North Wasteland lineage will surely hunt us down for generations. One day, we will die at the hands of the North Wasteland warriors."

"The situation you speak of will not happen. I need a period of time to transform. Once I finish my transformation, even a Divine Blood Warrior of the North Wasteland lineage will not be able to kill me. At that time, I will return to North Wasteland City to defeat this Daze and clear my name."

Li Yi's words revealed powerful self-confidence.

Because as long as his Five Qi were complete, he could begin the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, at which point his strength would advance by leaps and bounds, not to mention that his Divine Blood was also gestating. It would not be long before he could become a true Divine Blood descendant.

He might even be able to awaken divine arts.

But before that, he did not want to fight powerful enemies.

Breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly was happening right now. If not for the matter of Master Xiu Xiang, Li Yi would certainly have continued to stay at home eating and drinking.

"Then I look forward to the arrival of that day. But before that, does Lord Dayi intend to compensate me for some of my losses?" Nv Heng then said faintly, "Because of your actions, Lord Dayi, I abandoned my status as a merchant in North Wasteland City and am now being hunted by the North Wasteland lineage. The gold I lost is far more than one hundred thousand."

While riding the clouds, Li Yi said, "Nv Heng, what compensation do you want?"

"I want a Divine Blood descendant. This request shouldn't be considered excessive, right?" A burning look appeared in Nv Heng's eyes; clearly, her idea of wanting to create a Divine Blood family had not disappeared.

"."

Li Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Apart from bearing offspring, can you not make other requests? I will compensate you with ten thousand gold; this is the limit of what I can do. I believe that with this ten thousand gold, you will surely be able to become a merchant with wealth rivaling a nation once again."

Upon hearing this, Nv Heng thought for a moment and said, "But I don't want ten thousand gold. If you are unwilling to grant me a Divine Blood descendant, then please gift me a treasure that can store goods."

"A storage magic tool? Since you want one, then as you wish." Li Yi did not think much of it and immediately took a storage magic tool from his Five Elements Bracelet and handed it to Nv Heng.

After all, in Li Yi's eyes, a storage magic tool was very cheap and simply could not be compared to ten thousand gold.

Nv Heng's eyes lit up, and she immediately took it into her hands.

"I will teach you how to use it, but this treasure can only store goods, not people," Li Yi said.

"Is it slightly inferior to the one in your hand? But it is enough. Thank you for your generosity, Lord Dayi." Nv Heng was still very happy, as she had traveled through many mountains and large cities and had never seen such a treasure.

Selling such a treasure would be a very extravagant thing; it should be kept as a family heirloom.

"No need to thank me. This is compensation for you; it is what you deserve," Li Yi said.

Sure enough, all merchants had a deep obsession with storage magic tools. After all, with this thing, one could reap infinite profits while trading in the savage world.

With Nv Heng's ability, she would surely be able to make a comeback relying on this storage magic tool in the future.

The principle that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish was clearly understood by every merchant.

Therefore, Nv Heng refused the compensation of ten thousand gold.
