Chapter 129

"You really don't listen to advice."

Li Youyi didn't even turn around; blood mist and blood-colored scriptures erupted from his body. The moment the three demons' massive bodies closed in, his body spun and flew up, and a blood mist vortex appeared with him at the center.

The three demons' attacks instantly lost their direction.

Their centers of gravity were unstable, and with no power to resist, they were flung away by the blood mist vortex, falling in a scattered mess.

Li Youyi couldn't be bothered to waste time killing them; after landing, he rushed toward the valley entrance at top speed, only worried that the three top experts at the second realm of the Five Seas Realm from Tianya Ridge, Sui Sect, and Guan Mountain had finished off Brother Zuoqiu Bai Ming and were catching up.

Those three were all top-tier figures of their realm, and all held powerful magic artifacts; facing any one of them would be a headache.

The valley entrance was in sight, getting closer and closer.

Just then, someone shouted: "Someone is escaping, fire arrows!"

A whistling and dense sound of wind-breaking came.

"Swish, swish!"

Arrows were like rain, dense black dots.

There were even hidden arrows shot from heavy crossbows, which were very dangerous.

This formation was simply like being on a battlefield.

Outside the valley, the six Five Seas Realm martial cultivators from the Sui Sect and Three Chen Gong stood in the forest, watching Li Youyi, who had rushed out of the valley entrance, constantly waving his blade to knock away the arrows aimed at his face.

He ignored the rain of arrows aimed at his body entirely.

Strangely, these arrows really couldn't hurt him.

"What a powerful defensive magic artifact battle suit, I want it!"

"Haha, let's rely on our own abilities; whoever kills him gets that magic artifact battle suit."

"I want that cyan Yin Banner."

Immediately, the three most aggressive Five Seas Realm martial cultivators rushed out; they were all carefully selected top experts of the first realm. The weakest one was also a deformed creature who had broken into the Five Seas from the Eight Springs.

The other three followed slowly, not underestimating the enemy.

Today's battle must result in total silence; there must be no mistakes.

"Stronger than those three demon cultivators."

Li Youyi looked at the three people attacking with tactical division; without slowing down, he drove the cyan Yin Banner in his hand, using it as a large spear, and fiercely stabbed at the Five Seas Realm martial cultivator holding a shield magic artifact who was charging in the lead.

The Yin Banner erupted with brilliant cyan brilliance, and the lingering spirits inside roared.

That Three Chen Gong Five Seas Realm martial cultivator was coming head-on; feeling the terrifying pressure from Li Youyi, his face changed in shock, his legs stepped into a bow stance, and he spat out a large amount of magic power to drive the shield.

A circular light seal with a diameter of one yard appeared on the surface of the shield.

"Bang!"

The light seal and the magic artifact shield shattered upon contact.

That Three Chen Gong Five Seas Realm martial cultivator had his body pierced by the Yin Banner, his flesh exploding into pieces.

It was too powerful; a martial cultivator of the same realm died on the spot in one round.

That deformed martial cultivator who had broken into the Five Seas from the Eight Springs swung a cast-copper heavy mace magic artifact.

The mace weighed six thousand jin and struck directly at Li Youyi's head.

Another stronger Five Seas Realm female martial cultivator, with a slender figure, turned into a phantom, circled to the lower right side of Li Youyi, and stabbed at his waist and abdomen with a sword as fast as a light beam.

Li Youyi swung his blade with his left hand, clashing with the heavy mace; sparks flew, and magic power energy rippled and spread.

That deformed martial cultivator who had broken into the Five Seas from the Eight Springs spat blood and was flipped out by the huge force coming from the blade.

"Such strong power."

Li Youyi looked at the damaged magic artifact battle blade in his hand, praised it, and then threw the blade away.

His waist and abdomen felt slightly painful; he looked down at the Five Seas Realm female martial cultivator who had attacked with the sword: "The speed is okay, but the power is too weak; it can't break my defense."

That Five Seas Realm female martial cultivator was terrified; she had never encountered such a strange thing.

Her sword power was not weak; even if he was wearing a defensive magic artifact battle suit, the piercing power of the sword tip should have at least broken his ribs and injured his internal organs.

"Bang!"

Li Youyi swung the Yin Banner, hitting her so that she spun and flew out like a scarecrow; her bones were broken in more than a dozen places, and she fell to the ground, bloody and limp, unable to climb up again.

The three Five Seas Realm martial cultivators following behind hadn't even had time to rescue them before the first three were already defeated.

Some died, some were injured.

They were shocked and inexplicable, caught in a dilemma of whether to advance or retreat.

Was this really a martial cultivator at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm?

Even martial cultivators at the second realm of the Five Seas Realm weren't this terrifying.

"Boom!"

Chen Song stepped on a magic power cloud, rushed out of the dense forest, and fell from mid-air; the wind and airflow under his feet dissipated in all directions.

He was wrapped in a lingering spirit human skin, looking like a slightly chubby old man with messy long hair, his gaze very sharp, locking onto Li Youyi with his tactical intent.

Just by making eye contact, Li Youyi immediately had a rough judgment of his strength in his heart; he was far superior to Yuan Sheng, and even a big step stronger than Chen Ying.

Without thinking, Li Youyi immediately drove his night-traveling clothes, letting his speed explode to the limit.

He fled into the dense forest on the right.

"Want to leave?"

The wind-controlling boots under Chen Song's feet were purely speed-type intermediate magic artifacts; his figure became blurred, and he left the ground to chase him while controlling the wind.

At the same time, a jade bracelet on his wrist spun and flew out.

The spiritual light energy erupted from the jade bracelet, tearing the air and chasing behind Li Youyi.

Li Youyi didn't dare to resist hard, turned around, and struck out with the cyan Yin Banner.

"Boom!"

The spinning jade bracelet, after colliding with the Yin Banner, instantly changed direction and smashed toward Li Youyi's head.

Li Youyi broke into a cold sweat, using his bare hands to perform the "Spirit Treasure Snatch," as if turning into a thousand-handed Tathagata, grabbing the jade bracelet. But he couldn't hold it steady; it was spinning rapidly, so he had to throw it out again immediately.

"Boom!"

The jade bracelet smashed into the ground several yards away, mud splashing, forming a large sunken pit.

Chen Song, who had caught up, was secretly shocked; he could actually break the attack of an intermediate magic artifact like this?

He immediately attached great importance to the person in front of him, tactical intent and magic power mist rising behind him, and he punched into the air. The fist shadow was as large as a millstone, and the magic power was surging like a tidal wave, one layer stacked on another.

"Boom!"

Li Youyi used the Yin Banner to clash with Chen Song, his body retreating explosively, and then he drove his speed to the limit to escape. When encountering Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators blocking the way in the forest, he never lingered in battle, directly knocking them away with his body.

Chen Song landed back on the ground, his eyes grave; he had never seen such a strong martial cultivator at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm.

Four Five Seas Realm first-realm martial cultivators quickly caught up.

That seriously injured deformed martial cultivator said with great fear: "What kind of person is he, really at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm?"

"He's not wearing lingering spirit human skin, so he must be at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm without a doubt. But his strength... to be able to be this strong, he must be a successor seed of the Brother Zuoqiu Sect." Chen Song released a wisp of magic power, rolled the jade bracelet back, and put it back on his wrist.

The four Five Seas Realm first-realm martial cultivators all changed color.

A successor seed's status in the Brother Zuoqiu Sect was even higher than Brother Zuoqiu Bai Ming's. Once he escaped down the mountain, would that be okay?

"Go, chase him together! We must cut the weeds and eliminate the roots; if we do it, we must do it thoroughly," Chen Song said.

"What a powerful Chen Song, worthy of being a Nine Springs Supreme who opened the ancestral fields by his own strength."

Li Youyi looked at his bloody left hand, secretly thinking about what means to use to deal with him.

In the end, the Yin Banner was only a defensive high-grade magic artifact, and its attack power was not strong. But the black iron seal and the evil camel bell were different; they would definitely be enough to make him suffer.

In this mysterious and unknown ghost place of the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, Li Youyi didn't want to start a massacre; otherwise, he would have released the seven phoenix-winged moth-empresses long ago. Who knew if the commotion of the battle would startle some lingering spirit monsters?

Getting away from that valley was the top priority.

After escaping for half an hour, Li Youyi suddenly stopped, feeling that something was wrong.

The landscape in the Immortal Cloud mist had changed greatly; the trees became sparse, and in front of him was a flat gravel area, with dense weeds between the stones, and even clusters of glowing plants growing.

It is...

Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herb!

There were many of them; just in his field of vision, there were more than a dozen.

Li Youyi's heart was not entirely filled with joy; he always felt that this place was very wrong. Exotic herbs gathered here but were not picked, which was enough to explain many problems.

He released the seven phoenix-winged moth-empresses and let them go pick the Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herbs. He himself nervously guarded the surroundings, while also guarding against Chen Song, who might catch up at any time.

The seven phoenix-winged moth-empresses were very happy, flapping their wings and flying into the gravel area.

But what left Li Youyi speechless was that they each picked one and started eating on their own, with no intention of helping him pick herbs at all.

"Relying on you is really not reliable at all. Don't just focus on eating; the enemy might catch up at any time."

In the end, Li Youyi had to guard while personally picking the Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herbs.

He picked twenty-four in a row, and unknowingly, he had entered the depths of the gravel area. After picking the twenty-fifth, he sensed something, slowly raised his head, and looked into the depths of the mist, his scalp suddenly tingling.

Just see.

In the mist dozens of yards away, there stood dense figures with giant heads, all motionless, as if watching him.

Li Youyi drove the Yin Banner to embolden himself, and wrapped in wisps of cyan light gauze, he walked over slowly; only after getting closer did he discover that it was a field of giant stone statues.

"Hoo!"

He let out a long sigh of relief and continued to pick the remaining Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herbs.

But every time he turned his back on the field of giant stone statues, he always felt a chill on his back, as if pairs of eyes were spying on him. The positions of some of the giant stone statues seemed to have moved, walking forward.

"Hallucinations, just scaring myself."

Li Youyi had just said this when more than a dozen black giant-headed figures suddenly rushed out of the giant stone statue forest.

Some were only 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall, standing on top of the giant stone statues, opening their bowl-sized mouths to reveal saw-like teeth, emitting shrill, sharp laughter.

Some were two or three meters tall, their heads as large as water vats, their mouths occupying one-third of their faces, their eyes without whites, ink-black, constantly emitting black smoke.

Where had Li Youyi ever seen such terrifying unknown creatures?

He turned and fled, but he had only rushed dozens of yards away when he saw the seven phoenix-winged moth-empresses flying over in terror.

Li Youyi looked forward.

In the direction he had come from, more than a dozen figures also appeared in the mist. These figures had the proportions of normal humans, but they were burning with ghost fire; they were not Chen Song and the others at all, and there was no breath of living people on them.

Caught in a pincer attack from front and back, Li Youyi was on the verge of tears; it was greed that caused trouble again. If he had known, he shouldn't have stayed in this gravel area to pick Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herbs.

How he wished that the group from the Sui Sect and Three Chen Gong had come, and at most, the people from Tianya Ridge and Guan Mountain.

Li Youyi's glabella lit up, mobilizing the Spirit Light Fire, ready to drive the Buddha Relic at any time to escape into the blood mud space to avoid disaster.

As the lingering spirits with normal human proportions gradually approached, Li Youyi saw their attire and appearance; every pale face, men, women, old and young, had a bloody, strange character on their foreheads.

"This is... that group of people from Burial Xianzhen..."

Li Youyi recognized them.

Back in Burial Xianzhen, he had cut his own wrist and sprinkled blood on the street, wanting to summon his Dao-protecting wife. As a result, he awakened countless lingering spirits underground in Burial Xianzhen, who broke through the soil.

Those lingering spirits that looked like town residents were just like this.

Ghost fire all over, blood runes on their foreheads.

How did they come to the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain?

They... seemed to have no hostility!

Just as Li Youyi was uncertain, more than a dozen lingering spirit townspeople had already stepped on ghost fire and passed by him, fighting with the giant-headed humanoid monsters that were chasing him.

They could inhale Immortal Cloud, their eyes had no pupils, only blinding white light, and they could strike out ghost fire with a wave of their hands; regardless of age or gender, they were all very powerful.

Beginning of the month, seeking monthly tickets!
