Chapter 143

Li Li Youyi secretly recalled the various entanglements he had with Li Ling, feeling suspicious and uncertain in his heart, and for the first time doubted Chan Hai Guan Wu's true purpose: "It seems that's the case! Then, may I ask what Chan Hai senior's intention is?"

"Still a sensible person, knowing that I don't want to kill you. As for the intention..."

Li Ling's gaze swept disdainfully over Cang Li and Zhao Zhao Zhizhuo, Qi Qi Shanshan having already fainted under her aura. Her eyes were extremely cold and arrogant, but her tone suddenly softened: "Marry you!"

Li Li Youyi had already prepared for the worst psychological preparation of being refined into a human medicine by her. How could he have thought that this extremely cold and arrogant ancient Son of Heaven would suddenly say such a thing?

With her personality and status, it didn't seem like something she would joke about.

Zhao Zhao Zhizhuo and Cang Li were also stunned, doubting that these words were spoken by Chan Hai Guan Wu, but rather that Li Ling had regained control of her body.

"Clatter."

On the cliff on the right side of the canyon, gravel rolled down.

Everyone's gaze looked over.

Hidden Nine, wearing high-grade magic night-traveling clothes, appeared from invisibility. His young, thin, and cold face showed embarrassment: "I'm here to pick someone up! I accidentally heard such an unbelievable strange story, and I almost fell off this cliff. Don't worry, I didn't hear anything."

Li Ling seemed to have known he was hiding there, without any emotional fluctuation: "It doesn't matter! If the news of Chan Hai Guan Wu returning to the Nine Li tribe spreads, the first tribe to be exterminated by foreign forces will definitely be the Nine Li tribe; I don't care."

Suddenly.

She sensed something, her eyes instantly grave: "There is an army slowly approaching, hurry and leave... not very good, we've already been surrounded!"

"Follow me!"

A strand of her long hair flying in mid-air rolled up Li Li Youyi, pulling him onto the back of the Zouwu beast.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Zouwu beast stepped on magic power clouds, running at top speed along the canyon stream.

The direction it ran was not Yao Guan City, but the depths of the Long Mountain range in the opposite direction.

Because she sensed that although the mysterious army was closing in, the heavy troops were gathered in the direction of the canyon where Yao Guan City was, blocking their way back.

Breaking out from that side was too difficult.

Cang Li's pressure eased, and he could finally breathe, looking at the Zouwu beast that had already fled to the end of the canyon, wanting to chase but it was too late, shouting: "Chan Hai... Li Li Youyi, protect Li Ling for me."

Cang Li, Hidden Nine, and Zhao Zhao Zhizhuo all sensed the dangerous aura and released their magic power one after another.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

In all directions of the night sky, countless bright runes rose, filling the field of vision like stars.

The runes descended, becoming blurry, turning into a shallow fog covering a three-mile radius, and the entire canyon became quiet.

Hidden Nine and Zhao Zhao Zhizhuo, one above and one below, exerted their movement speed to the limit, chasing Li Li Youyi, who had been captured by Chan Hai Guan Wu, along the canyon. Today's events were too strange; no one would believe it if told.

Cang Li sent the fainted Qi Qi Shanshan into the insect bag at the first moment.

The next instant.

"Whoosh!"

A violent gale, like a knife and sword, blew along the canyon.

In the gale, there was a black shadow wrapped. It was Chen Chen Qianchi, a Dao Seed Realm expert from the Three Chen Gong, who smashed down with an iron fist, wanting to kill the first genius of the Nine Li tribe quickly.

"Awoo!"

The light released from Cang Li's body turned the night into day. A tiger roar that shook the rock wall to crack sounded, the White Tiger battle intent was released, and a giant claw reached out to collide with Chen Chen Qianchi, who was attacking.

With a roar, Cang Li flew backward six or seven zhang, countless scriptures rushing out of his silver armor, neutralizing Chen Chen Qianchi's fist force completely.

"A Dao Seed Realm martial cultivator is nothing more than this."

Cang Li shouted, pretending to be calm, while quickly suppressing the surging blood Qi in his body.

"Worthy of being a pure immortal body with silver in all hundred meridians, the combat power is indeed remarkable. But, you don't have to shout like that; the three-mile radius is covered by runes, and the movement here cannot be sensed by Yao Guan City."

Chen Chen Qianchi's figure was like electricity, attacking again.

Cang Li didn't fight him head-on, retreating while fighting, chasing Chan Hai Guan Wu and the others.

Above the canyon, the shallow fog dispersed, and two military formations appeared out of thin air.

The military formations were arranged neatly, all wearing Iron Cloth battle clothes.

They all mobilized the magic power in their bodies, injecting it into the formation, activating a hammer-shaped magic weapon.

The battle hammer was as large as a water vat, suspended in the air, erupting with purple brilliance, and under the control of several elders in the battle formation, it attacked the Zouwu beast running at the front of the canyon.

The runes were not yet fully stable, so they couldn't let them get close to the edge.

The battle hammer fell from the sky like a bright purple star.

"Boom!"

The Zouwu beast jumped diagonally, avoiding the battle hammer, and the rock wall of the mountain next to it was blasted into large-scale collapse, the earth shaking and mountains swaying.

Li Li Youyi looked back, not seeing Hidden Nine and Zhao Zhao Zhizhuo, only hearing the sound of battle coming from constant roars. At the same time, the corpses of soldiers kept falling from the top of the canyon cliff, their screams miserable.

"The enemy doesn't know our strength, and the preparation is very insufficient; it should be a hasty arrangement. We should kill our way back, and by joining forces, break their battle formation, and we will definitely be able to severely damage the enemy," Li Li Youyi said, holding the Yellow Dragon Sword in one hand and the Black Iron Seal in the other.

He didn't want to leave Cang Li, Zhao Zhao Zhizhuo, and the others behind.

"The best way to break the enemy is to rush out of the rune fog domain set by the other party, and then use the intense battle fluctuations to attract the Nine Li tribe army from Yao Guan City to wipe out this Iron Cloth Army of the Three Chen Gong here."

"Give me the seal!"

Li Ling's eyes were deep, her star-like eyes staring fixedly ahead, seeing the runes invisible to ordinary people at the edge of the fog domain.

Taking the Black Iron Seal from Li Li Youyi's hand, she flew gracefully into the air, more than ten zhang off the ground, found the weakest point of the runes, struck the seal with thick magic power, and swung it out.

After the Black Iron Seal left her hand, it quickly grew larger, releasing more than ten thick purple lightning bolts, intertwining in the valley.

"Boom—"

The deafening thunder echoed repeatedly in the canyon.

The Black Iron Seal became several zhang in size, hitting the runes covering the world until they appeared. Then that layer of shallow fog tore apart like paper, forming a huge hole in mid-air.

"So that's how it's used; what great power."

The Zouwu beast jumped up, carrying Li Li Youyi, and rushed out of the rune hole.

Li Li Youyi released magic power and retrieved the Black Iron Seal.

The fragrant wind arrived in an instant, and Li Ling landed on the back of the Zouwu beast. The strong aura on her body disappeared, her legs unable to stand steady; fortunately, Li Li Youyi stopped her, so she didn't fall off the tiger's back.

"Awoo!"

"Awoo!"

After rushing out of the rune fog domain, the Zouwu beast roared.

The sound could reach tens of miles away.

It was full of spirituality and high intelligence; someone in the Cang Li tribe could judge whether Cang Li was in danger based on its roar. With the ability of top experts, they would soon arrive.

An elder of the Chen family in the battle formation changed his expression: "Bad, how did so many experts gather here? They actually broke the runes and escaped; is that woman from the Lei Xiao Sect?"

"A serious miscalculation; we shouldn't have caused such side issues; the siege has failed, retreat quickly."

"The Nine Li tribe has gathered a large number of experts in Yao Guan City and will soon arrive here."

"If you don't want to be wiped out, break into pieces and flee to the depths of the Long Mountain range, or flee to the Burial Immortal Town."

"Who will go with me to chase the two on the back of the Zouwu beast?"

The reversal of the battle situation came too fast; Chen Chen Qianchi didn't expect that the few people here all had extraordinary combat power and great battle intelligence.

Someone was able to judge the weakest direction of the encirclement at the first moment, and even more decisively shattered the runes before they were fully stabilized.

The whole process took only a dozen breaths of time.

Let alone him, even if the Clan Head of the Three Chen Gong came to siege personally, it would definitely fail.

"Who exactly is she?"

How could an older generation figure like Chen Chen Qianchi recognize all the juniors of the Nine Li tribe?

Hitting Cang Li and forcing him back with one punch, he stepped on magic power clouds, jumped onto the canyon cliff tens of units of length high, and chased the Zouwu beast that had disappeared into the dense forest.

"Commander Chen, where are you going? What about the ferocity just now?"

Hidden Nine's high-pitched voice came from the dense forest, shaking the night fog.

"Clatter!"

A battle axe the size of a door panel flew out spinning from the direction of the sound, countless scriptures coexisting, and collided with Chen Chen Qianchi, who had just jumped off the ground.

The battle axe was heavy and fierce, breaking Chen Chen Qianchi's protective magic power.

Chen Chen Qianchi pierced through the scriptures carried by the battle axe, just reaching out his iron hand wearing a glove to grab the axe blade.

Behind him, a silver light pillar rose.

Cang Li's heroic figure chased up, stabbing out with a spinning spear, forming a storm vortex with a diameter of tens of zhang, the momentum unstoppable.

"Chan Hai Guan Wu!"

"Chan Hai Guan Wu..."

Li Li Youyi found that Li Ling's eyes in his arms were closed, and there was no trace of her previous strong aura, unable to judge what situation she was in.

Slowly, Li Ling opened her eyes, her eyes clear, breaking away from Li Li Youyi's hand: "She is just a remnant soul body; just now, to deter my brother and activate the seal to break the rune fog domain, she consumed a lot and is recovering her strength with all her might. If you make a move now, I may not be your match."

"Swish! Swish..."

Countless sharp wind-breaking sounds chased from behind, coming from all different directions.

"She is... forget it, let's get through this hurdle first!" Li Li Youyi said.

Now was not the time to solve the questions in his heart.

"Then next, we can only rely on ourselves. This Iron Cloth Army of the Three Chen Gong is all retreating in this direction; it seems we can only continue to flee into the depths of the Long Mountain range, just hoping my mother can arrive as soon as possible."

Li Ling took out a copper ancient lamp, mobilized the spiritual light fire in the Spirit Realm of her brow, and let it bloom and scatter. Immediately, the ancient lamp emitted strands of dark blue brilliance, covering the Zouwu beast.

"They've caught up!"

Li Li Youyi let Li Ling drive the Zouwu beast, moved to the tiger's butt, and stabilized his feet with magic power.

In his pupils, several arrows shot by Five Seas Realm elders tore through the night sky and arrived. The arrows hit the blue brilliance emitted by the ancient lamp, as if they paused for a moment, their speed becoming much slower.

"Swish, swish!"

He swung his sword several times in a row, the sword light like a dragon and snake, sweeping all the arrows away.

In mid-air, a long roar came, and a deformed elder with a thick aura dived down. He had no feet, only a pair of golden claws emitting bright flames, a foot long, sharp and dazzling.

Sweat, I got hit, the flu hit me, I'm coding in a state of 38-39 degrees today, especially sour and refreshing... the state is especially bad. I'll decide the number of updates based on my physical state tomorrow; I'll definitely write as much as I can.
