Chapter 179: Sudden Attack and Battle for Survival (Please Subscribe)

Li Jian fell into silence.

At this moment, he felt a bit of envy.

If not for the fact that the situation of the corpse-burier had been even worse back then, he would not have risked his life in the night, nor would he have ended up in this current state.

Seeing that his emotions were somewhat unstable, with the envy rapidly shifting toward jealousy and displaced anger, Du En spoke again, changing the subject: "Back when we were in the Qingya Garden, it was you who used Li Jian's mouth to tell me about the existence of the Resentful Evils, right?"

"Hehe, you guessed it?"

"In that case, what you just said contains falsehoods; you guided that Blood Eulogy to me, clearly intending to use a borrowed knife to kill."

The magic tool great python suddenly dispersed, breaking into parts, and after dodging the corpse swarm's attack, it turned around to pounce and kill again.

"..."

Self-destruct!

Li Jian shouted, and directly bit down with his mouth.

Li Jian reached this point in his speech and could not continue.

And the reason for doing so now is actually very simple.

"Heh, that kind of livestock raised by the Superior, where is the greatness in that? Every time I follow them and shout against my will, it always makes me feel nauseated!"

"How is it meaningless? Look at the Immortal Sect's methods—every one of them is an evil path, every one of them is cruel and indifferent. That's right, they are all evil paths, everyone is the same, they are all evil cultivators!"

Regarding such words, Du En remained calm, even nodding in agreement: "That is indeed not any righteous method."

Just as he was about to give Du En a taste of his power, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly dodged.

Bang!

The wall of corpse hands was shredded by a hundred magic tools, and another hundred magic tools, like a swirling tornado, seized the opportunity to bite and kill, causing Li Jian, who had not managed to dodge in time, to lose a forearm and a lower leg in an instant!

?!

Li Jian had not expected Du En to strike so suddenly; his attention had already been diverted, and now, facing the incoming Sand-Flying Technique, he could only respond in a rush.

The evil nature grew stronger and permeated the air; with popping sounds, pale hands shot out from the ground in front, piling and stacking upon one another to form a wall of corpse hands.

Li Jian chuckled, then his expression suddenly changed.

Li Jian was very frank, "To tell the truth, at the time, I mainly thought about taking the opportunity to turn you into a corpse puppet, but I was actually interrupted by you, which is why I have some interest and expectations for you."

Because Du En had actually pulled out a change of expression to show him.

He was not some sort of paralyzed-faced person, nor was he cold and cruel; he was just naturally tranquil, and his daily emotional fluctuations were very faint, which is why his expression was always the same.

Upon reaching a suitable distance, the evil technique was triggered.

Boom, boom, boom...

Blood-colored liquid flowed down, and the evil nature boiled as if it were, directly crushing the remaining mana.

"Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"

Du En analyzed calmly, pointing out sharply: "This cannot be a trick from the Resentful Evils, and the methods of evil cultivators cannot be hidden from them either. Therefore, there are others behind you. This is also the reason why you can maintain some clarity, make plans and calculations beforehand, and successfully deceive the Border City, instead of acting like a brainwashed lunatic, shouting about greatness all day long and acting in a flamboyant and arrogant manner."

At the same time, the Hundred-Control Technique continued to be triggered, and two hundred second-tier low-to-mid grade magic tools merged, orderly and tightly, actually transforming into a great python, continuing to bite and kill toward Li Jian.

The intangible evil nature seemed to be condensed into form, bursting and shooting out, striking the magic tools, easily shattering these second-tier low-to-mid grade miscellaneous goods into slag, rendering them completely scrapped.

"What about now?" Du En asked.

Sudden surprise attack!

"Is there any meaning in talking about such things now?"

Unless it is just to stall for time.

"Perhaps there is such an expectation, but feeling surprised is also true."

Du En did not waste words; as his footsteps moved, the Breath-Concealing Technique was fully activated, and he had already quickly retreated into the shadows, constantly wandering within the ruins of the relic.

Pop, pop, pop...

"Good, good, good! You really are no less than me!"

Li Jian stood up, and his evil nature began to boil.

Li Jian's madness was directly interrupted, and he could not help but speak in surprise: "You, this is really unexpectedly straightforward and honest; just, didn't you think about refuting or defending yourself?"

Taking advantage of the slight gap revealed when Li Jian's evil technique was broken, a second-tier top-grade magic tool that had just been hiding among the many second-tier low-to-mid grade ones—the culprit that had severed his forearm and lower leg, the Bright Gold Halberd—suddenly exerted force and accelerated, reaching his front.

Thus, there was flying sand and moving stones, obscuring the vision.

And then.

"No, being straightforward and honest has not much to do with me; lying and concealing are also things I can do with ease. Also, don't look at my expression like this all day; actually, I think I am quite ordinary."

Li Jian's emotions began to become unstable again: "Especially you, no need to pretend. Watching you kill so happily, without any hesitation or doubt, and your expression is always the same—cold, cruel, and profit-seeking. Evil path! All of it is the evil path!"

They dispersed, targeting a corpse; several magic tools pounced fiercely, then immediately exploded, instantly pulling the power to the level of a second-tier top-grade, perishing together with these evil corpses.

"Is it someone from one of the other four Great Immortal Sects? They circled and lurked deep into this Southern Frontier to contact you, to make you clear-headed, and to teach you secret techniques... It seems you don't want to talk."

"No, no, no, you look simply like someone with a paralyzed face..."

"Such things cannot be said randomly."

On the left and right of the long corridor, the dried-up pond, the collapsed rockery, and the crooked-neck tree with all its leaves fallen all suddenly produced strange noises, and then pale corpses crawled and climbed out from everywhere.

Li Jian was somewhat puzzled; although these evil corpses were visibly consumables, their average strength was not to be underestimated. It was unlikely to be able to injure him by relying on these second-tier low-to-mid grade ones.

However, he soon understood what was going on.

Its neck stretched long like a slug, and with a 'click' of its full mouth of white teeth, it bit and cracked this second-tier top-grade magic tool.

This evil cultivator was worthy of being the invisible mastermind in the previous events, a top-tier individual among the group of evil cultivators. Even though he had suffered a loss due to a moment of carelessness, at this moment, without turning his head or body, he retreated at high speed on one foot, still pulling the magic tool great python further and further away in the long corridor.

"Sorry, but for now, I need to borrow your body!"

"So that's how it is. You want to seize my body, borrow my identity, and lurk into the main sect of the Immortal Sect. It seems the identity of Meng Changqing is indeed very unusual, and you must also have methods to be able to deceive the detection of the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect."

But it was still a bit slow; it did not completely block the flying sand, and clusters of gravel continued to shoot out from the gaps, disturbing his divine sense and hitting his body with a crackling sound.

"Uh..."

Buying time?

The appearance and form were exactly those of Li Jian himself; they revealed a strange smile and pointed at the python magic tool from a distance.

"What do you think constitutes the Evil Path and evil cultivators?"

Li Jian's expression was gloomy, his clothes were torn open, and there were several shallow wounds on his body.

Crack—

Even a top-grade one, you just blow it up too?

Boom!

A second-tier top-grade magic tool, Du En said blow it up and it blew up; it was just a consumable, and it exploded so directly that Li Jian's entire head vanished.

At the same time, from all around his feet, another two hundred second-tier mid-to-low-grade magic tools lunged out like pythons exiting a cave, directly swallowing his body.
