Chapter 187

"I don't know if magic power can cut off the fragrance of 'Ten Nights of Lingering.' Should we hurry to find the experts of your Jiuli tribe, like Cang Li?"

Shi Shi Shishi really wanted to separate from Li Li Youyi, always feeling that walking with him would lead to being easily killed by Yang Yang Qingxi. But thinking of Li Li Youyi's return at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, leaving like this would be too disloyal!

Li Li Youyi said: "With Zhu Gao Huan dead, everyone is in danger. The top experts of the young generation will certainly keep a low profile; I'm afraid no one will know where Cang Li is staying now."

Qi Qi Wangshu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "The experts we know are all in the Nancheng. The road from the Xicheng to the Nancheng is the most deadly. Brother Brother Zuoqiu Baiyuan, do any of the young experts of the Brother Zuoqiu Sect live in the Xicheng?"

Qi Qi Wangshu didn't mention asking the older generation of the Brother Zuoqiu Sect to protect them, because Zhu Gao Huan's death was already telling everyone that the transcendents had already set the rules.

If the older generation could intervene, they would have already taken action to save Zhu Gao Huan at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion.

If it weren't for this, how would those people under the You Venerable dare to be so arrogant?

Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Baiyuan gave a bitter smile: "A month ago, all experts capable of participating in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival had already moved into the Nancheng."

Li Li Youyi suddenly stopped: "We have to separate. You two go first. If you want to help, hurry to the Nancheng to get reinforcements to come and meet us; Li Li Youyi will be deeply grateful. I will take the Li-Kun Street line back to the Nancheng!"

"Okay, I'll go back to the Wolf's Den to get people."

Shi Shi Shishi had just rushed out when he was grabbed by Li Li Youyi and pulled back.

"Brother Li Youyi, I am a heavily injured person."

Shi Shi Shishi was almost crying!

Li Li Youyi said: "It's all your fault for having no filter. If you hadn't said that sentence about capturing Yang Yang Qingxi in public, she might not have made up her mind to kill me at this juncture. So you have to face this danger with me. Don't worry, if we escape tonight, I will surely reward you handsomely."

"I'll go ask my brother."

"I'll go find a successor."

Qi Qi Wangshu and Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Baiyuan were not indecisive people, and they knew they couldn't help much against an expert like Yang Yang Qingxi, so they quickly flashed away.

Shi Shi Shishi said: "Brother Li Youyi, actually, I think returning to the seaside and swimming back to the Nancheng is also a good choice."

Li Li Youyi said: "It's too late; the seaside is too far. If magic power can cut off the fragrance of 'Ten Nights of Lingering,' then everything is fine. If it can't, I estimate that no matter which direction we flee, we will be caught up by her within half an hour."

"You don't have the fragrance on you; take Li-Kun Street and be ready to meet me at any time."

Dropping this, Li Li Youyi rushed into the alley next to him, quickly changing his face and figure.

If she was tracking by scent, then he would make the route as winding as possible, creating difficulty for her and dragging out more time.

Li Li Youyi went through streets and alleys, broke into houses, and leaped over roofs, always moving with Li-Kun Street as the central axis. At the same time, his eyes quickly searched for the Hidden Sect's marks.

Hidden Thirteen had once told him that there was an important stronghold of the Hidden Sect near Li-Kun Street in the Xicheng, which was another reason he had sent Shi Shi Shishi away.

"Fortunately, I didn't return to Qin Garden. If Yang Yang Qingxi had found that place, it would truly be a disaster," Li Li Youyi thought to himself.

Shi Shi Shishi was actually very loyal and didn't flee alone, always keeping a distance of two streets from him. During this time, he even bought a pancake the size of a washbasin and ate it while walking.

Time passed second by second.

Just as Li Li Youyi felt that the fragrance had long been isolated and he might have overestimated Yang Yang Qingxi, he leaped up from a deep alley, preparing to return to Li-Kun Street to meet up with Shi Shi Shishi.

Having just leaped onto the three-story-high blue-tiled roof, he saw a beautiful figure wearing a veil standing at the other end of the roof, waiting for his arrival.

That figure, in green clothes, with skin as white and flawless as jade, a figure that was indescribably slim and moving, accompanied by wind and snow. Just standing there gracefully, there was an endless sense of beauty to appreciate.

Li Li Youyi appreciated it for a glance, then decisively retreated as if he had seen a ghost, falling back into the alley with extreme shock.

Escaping five steps, he immediately stopped and stood still.

He pulled out the Yellow Dragon Sword he had prepared long ago, his tiger eyes fixed straight ahead.

The third-ranked expert of the Sui Sect, Yang Yang Zhiyong, stood in the center of the alley ten zhang away, holding a battle halberd wrapped in black cloth. Because the magic power in his body was circulating rapidly, his pure immortal body was as bright as a lamp.

Having seen him at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, he could be considered an old acquaintance!

Li Li Youyi glanced back; silently, Yang Yang Qingxi, wearing a veil, appeared on the edge of the roof above him, like a green-clothed immortal maiden standing in the nine heavens. A bee-insect with colorful wings flew above her head.

The position she stood in was the highest point in the surrounding area.

No matter which direction Li Li Youyi fled in, she could seal his path with faster speed at the first opportunity.

Except for the direction Yang Yang Zhiyong was standing in.

With every second counting, how could Li Li Youyi dare to delay for even a moment? He charged directly toward Yang Yang Zhiyong with rapid steps. Only by breaking out at the fastest speed would there be a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Roar!"

Li Li Youyi let out a long howl, using the sound to notify Shi Shi Shishi.

But he didn't expect Shi Shi Shishi's voice to sound at the same time; clearly, he had also encountered a strong enemy.

Looking at Li Li Youyi rushing toward him, Yang Yang Zhiyong just snorted coldly, his four-zhang-high battle intent rising behind him, and the battle halberd in his hand slashed out fiercely.

"Rip!"

The black cloth wrapping the battle halberd turned into dust in an instant, revealing the bright and shining halberd blade inside.

This halberd strike contained the experience Yang Yang Zhiyong had summarized through thousands of battles—combining reality and illusion, advancing to slash Li Li Youyi, and retreating to seal all his paths.

It could be said that Yang Yang Zhiyong didn't underestimate this nameless junior who had been in the Gushing Spring Realm just a few months ago in the slightest.

Li Li Youyi only felt that the magic power surging from Yang Yang Zhiyong was condensed as if it were liquid, turning the alley into a river.

That halberd strike seemed to possess some kind of magic, always hanging above his head; no matter how he moved, he couldn't change that, and he could only watch helplessly as the halberd smashed down.

"Swish!"

A two-zhang-high battle intent appeared behind Li Li Youyi, breaking through Yang Yang Zhiyong's lock, his figure multiplying into thousands, and with a strange movement technique, he stepped on the right side of the alley to dodge.

He naturally wanted to take this opportunity to rush behind Yang Yang Zhiyong and flee directly.

Yang Yang Zhiyong was shocked; he never expected that the opponent could break through the suppression of his four-zhang-high battle intent with a two-zhang-high battle intent.

But he was only shocked for a moment before the battle halberd in his hand drew a circle, like a whip lashing toward Li Li Youyi, who was trying to escape along the wall.

Li Li Youyi sighed to himself; Yang Yang Zhiyong was too brilliant, his transition between offense and defense was seamless, and he could only force a sword clash.

"Boom!"

The magic power energy wave surged violently, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening.

The alley didn't collapse, and the surrounding buildings suffered no damage, but instead, lines of array scripts rose up.

The Brother Zuoqiu Sect and Dueguan had built the Qiu Province city into an array world.

Li Li Youyi's figure flew backward, retreating rapidly to unload the force, returning to his original position. His entire arm holding the sword ached as if it didn't belong to him.

Yang Yang Zhiyong was shocked beyond measure and looked at Yang Yang Qingxi: "Eldest Miss, are you sure he was in the Gushing Spring Realm a few months ago? This is fundamentally impossible."

Yang Yang Zhiyong was a pure immortal body cultivating the sixth sea and one of the top ten experts of the young generation in Li Province, but Li Li Youyi had almost escaped from his defensive position, and after forcing a clash with his halberd, he could still stand.

Yang Yang Zhiyong would even believe that Li Li Youyi was a martial cultivator cultivating the sixth sea.

Yang Yang Qingxi said: "A battle intent height of two zhang—I suppose it's the cultivation of the fourth stage of the Five Seas Realm."

"A mortal at the fourth stage of the Five Seas Realm couldn't possibly receive that halberd strike of mine just now," Yang Yang Zhiyong said.

Li Li Youyi's arm had already recovered; he couldn't possibly take the initiative to tell the opponent that he was only at the third stage of the Five Seas Realm, so he tried his best to keep himself absolutely calm and think of a countermeasure.

Suddenly, he gave a proud, cold laugh: "Yang Yang Zhiyong, you shouldn't be a Nine Springs Supreme Person, right? A pure immortal body waste who only opened eight springs—receiving one halberd strike from you, is that a difficult task? If we really compete one-on-one, it's hard to say who lives and who dies."

Yang Yang Zhiyong's biggest pain point was failing to open the ninth spring in the Gushing Spring Realm. Being mocked like this by a martial cultivator of a lower realm, no matter how calm his state of mind was, it ignited with anger.

Li Li Youyi continued: "To be honest, this long halberd of yours is fundamentally unsuitable for alley fighting. Here, in a one-on-one competition, you will definitely lose to me."

"Can such a small alley affect me killing you?"

Yang Yang Zhiyong stepped forward, his intent and momentum growing stronger and stronger, killing intent exposed in his eyes: "Eldest Miss, give me a chance; within three moves, I will surely take his life!"

"After three moves, I will take action."

Yang Yang Qingxi naturally knew that Li Li Youyi was dragging out time, so she wouldn't give him any chance.

Yang Yang Zhiyong had already reached Li Li Youyi, thrusting his halberd forward. From the halberd blade, which was at the level of a high-grade magic artifact, a beast head light shadow the size of a house rushed out, fangs and sharp teeth blocking the entire alley.

Li Li Youyi no longer held anything back, presenting the three types of battle intent he had cultivated one after another.

Every time one was added, the power fluctuation on the sword would increase by ten percent.

"Boom!"

"Taiyi Sea-Opening" slashed out, shattering the beast head light shadow.

Still inferior in pure strength, Li Li Youyi retreated three steps. Hearing the whistling wind, he hurriedly unleashed the "Fan Tian Hand Print," clashing palm-to-palm with Yang Yang Zhiyong, who had pressed in close.

The palm forces clashed, resulting in a draw, and both retreated explosively.

"Two moves, and that's it?"

The skin on Li Li Youyi's palm split, dripping blood, but with the addition of the "Small Success Golden Bone," it was of no major consequence.

After being repelled by Li Li Youyi, Yang Yang Zhiyong quickly calmed down, knowing there was absolutely no possibility of killing this child quickly: "Eldest Miss, you are right; if this child is not removed, my Sui Sect will inevitably perish at his hands. Let's attack together and finish this quickly."

A frivolous and loud voice came: "Oh my, is your Sui Sect's martial virtue so lacking? Two top experts wanting to kill a martial cultivator who just reached the Five Seas Realm, to the point of needing to join forces?"

Hearing Hidden Eleven's voice, Li Li Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly circulating magic power to stop the bleeding and heal the skin wounds, no longer needing to rely on that "guardian wife" who didn't protect the path.

Yang Yang Qingxi looked toward the direction the voice came from, only to see a figure with a human body and a snake tail coming from the other end of the alley, gradually walking out of the shadows and revealing his true face.

Seen at the Great Battle of Burial Immortal Town, he was one of that group of mysterious people, suspected to be an expert of the Jiuli Hidden Sect.

Her tone was cold: "Why, only you alone?"

Hidden Eleven smiled: "Yeah! I was originally sleeping nearby—you know, snakes have to hibernate—but I was woken up by his shout, so I had to hurry over after putting on clothes. I didn't put on pants; no choice, my figure makes clothes easy to buy, but pants are hard to buy."

Li Li Youyi said: "Is it really just you alone?"

"The only one who can fight Yang Yang Qingxi is me," Hidden Eleven said, not finding it convenient to say too much.

Li Li Youyi looked at the green-clothed beauty on the three-story eaves: "Eldest Miss Yang, do you think you can still kill me today?"

"It shouldn't be difficult!" Yang Yang Qingxi said.

"You hurry and go; I'll drag them down," Hidden Eleven said, restraining his smile and becoming extremely serious.

Li Li Youyi narrowed his eyes, staring straight at the bee-insect on Yang Yang Qingxi's shoulder. If he didn't kill that bee-insect, even if he escaped temporarily, it would be an endless trouble.

He naturally knew that Hidden Eleven was no match for Yang Yang Qingxi, but he was also an existence at the level of Mie Di, and the gap wouldn't be too large.

"Why not change the tactic! You drag Yang Yang Qingxi down first, and when I kill Yang Yang Zhiyong, we'll join forces to fight her."

Li Li Youyi's fingers touched the insect bag containing the Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperor, preparing to activate some trump card means.

Hidden Eleven was dumbfounded, thinking he had misheard—what was your cultivation, and you want to kill Yang Yang Zhiyong? Even for him, killing Yang Yang Zhiyong would require waiting until after thirty moves.
