Chapter 213: Facing the Luan-Sheng Lin-You Twins

Cang Li stared at the open garden gate, and seeing that the enemies really did not act rashly, he quickly understood the reason. After a look of admiration appeared in his eyes, he sighed softly, "It's useless! They have strength in numbers. Even if they are temporarily afraid to act rashly out of caution, once someone in charge arrives and directly organizes forces for a long-range attack, they can flatten this courtyard."

Li Youyi sat on the stone steps inside the gate, holding the two invitations of Cang Li and Yin Jiu, examining them carefully.

Yin Jiu was ranked in the top three.

Inside the invitation was only one Dragon Bone ticket.

The Dragon Bone ticket was a small, golden bone grain the size of a fingernail, embedded in the jade invitation.

Below the golden bone grain was a simple map of Qiuzhou Prefecture City, with the inner city in an eight-trigram pattern and the outer city having only a few lines. The locations of the eighty Dragon Seed tickets and seventy-nine Dragon Bone tickets were all flashing and moving on the map.

This could only be considered an approximate location.

Cang Li's invitation not only had Dragon Bone tickets and Dragon Seed tickets, but also two Longevity Pill tickets and the location of the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival venue.

He was indeed among the top ten experts.

However, perhaps because the invitation level was too high, only the locations of the remaining Longevity Pill tickets were marked on the map.

Li Youyi said, "In this situation outside, can I get away?"

"Li Jiufu said that at the bottom of the lake in the Qin Garden, there is a box of thunder-method black ice, and combined with the combat power I have recovered, it is enough to open a path of survival for you. Whether you can escape alive depends on your ability..."

Cang Li suddenly asked, "Is Li Ling still alive?"

Li Youyi nodded.

Cang Li closed his eyes and let out a breath of satisfaction. "Then take good care of her! If you really can't escape, hand over the invitation and lower your posture. Kneeling and begging for mercy is not shameful; preserving your life is the most important thing..."

"Can you bring yourself to kneel?"

Li Youyi rolled his eyes at him. "These two invitations definitely cannot be kept today! But taking them out of the city and letting them become worthless paper would be a great pity."

Cang Li pondered, "What do you want to do?"

"The world of martial arts is not just about killing; it's about human relationships and worldly wisdom. The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins want the invitations and your lives; whoever can save your lives, give it to them," Li Youyi said.

Cang Li shook his head. "First, no one dares to accept. Second, no one can arrive in time to save us. Third, you may not be able to deliver the invitation. You want to drive the wolves to swallow the tigers, but unfortunately, the wolves in the city are leaderless; except for us, no one dares to confront the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins head-on."

"Actually, there is a fourth: without sufficiently strong strength to support it, even if you deliver the invitation, you have no qualifications to negotiate terms."

Li Youyi said, "What you said is not entirely correct. The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins are indeed terrifying, and except for Ge Xiantong and us, no one dares to confront him head-on. But, a heavily wounded Luan-Sheng Lin-You twin is not necessarily so!"

"Just think, if they really didn't dare to be his enemy, Lu Cangsheng, the Dragon Palace, and Zhu Yibai would have long since returned home; why would they participate in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival? They are just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins and Ge Xiantong to be wounded, all wanting to reap the benefits."

Cang Li began to think seriously.

Li Youyi asked, "How much magic power have you recovered?"

"A short battle is no problem. But the injuries will definitely worsen to the point of being incurable; in other words, there is only one final battle to the death left," Cang Li said.

"Then don't fight!"

Li Youyi took out the ghost flag and stuffed it into his hand. "At the critical moment, activate it. Didn't you say that without enough strength, others won't negotiate with us? It is the only strength and confidence we have left!"

Li Youyi had asked Coffin Master and the others, and although the ghost flag and the black iron seal had significant origins, they could be exposed in a life-or-death crisis.

The subsequent trouble would not be too great.

Cang Li stared at the back of Li Youyi, who went to the backyard to fetch the thunder-method black ice. He only felt that in less than a year, this child had undergone a earth-shaking transformation. The confidence and firmness in his tone, and the calmness and fearlessness in his eyes, were as if he had been tempered a thousand times.

You must know, in such a sinister situation, even his own heart was filled with despair, and he had not considered the possibility of a comeback.

On the street outside.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two sounds of heavy flesh and blood hitting the ground rang out.

Then, the powerful and unique aura of the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins appeared outside the Qin Garden, from far to near.

Outside the Qin Garden gate, the two corpses that had fallen were both dressed in black night-traveling clothes; they were Yin Fifteen and Yin Sixteen. One had their head exploded, and the other's body had been collapsed, a bloody mess.

"Thump! Thump..."

The crisp knocking sound continued to ring out, like the hellish sound of a death knell.

All the Wu Xiu on the street looked toward the rear and retreated to form a passage.

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins used Cang Li's silver spear to knock on the ground in a leisurely and casual manner, walking forward step by step, with a blood hole the size of a wine cup in their chest.

Unfortunately, they were not human, and their heart was not in that position.

Their long hair switched between silver and white, and their face had a kind of evil, cold, and handsome beauty. "To be able to pierce my chest with one spear, among the East Dragon, West Pig, South Tiger, and North Sword, you can be ranked first! But why did you flee? I could only use your spear to kill those two Nine Li Tribe Wu Xiu who were not qualified to die at my hands, and only then did my anger subside a little."

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins scanned the crowd and questioned, "What are you all standing here for? Can standing here scare the enemy to death?"

Ming Niansheng was the first to step forward, explaining the situation of the Qin Garden and also mentioning Yuwen Tuozhen's analysis.

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins glanced coldly at Yuwen Tuozhen. "The enemy opened the gate on their own, and you dare not enter? I see, you are clearly afraid of being taken away by Cang Li and Li Jiufu's desperate counterattack before they die."

"Since you are wary of the thunder-method black ice set up inside, then use long-range attacks to break the array first, crush it inch by inch, and let them die under the thunder-method black ice they set up themselves."

Once these words were spoken, Yuwen Tuozhen and the leaders of the various factions felt as if they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly went to arrange personnel, organizing Great Thought Masters, bow and crossbow Wu Xiu, and long-range attack magic weapons.

Bai Shu had been scared back into the garden when the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins arrived; the other party's aura and power of thought were too strong.

But just as she fled back, she was grabbed by Li Youyi. "Help me move this box of thunder-method black ice out!"

Li Youyi walked to the side of Yin Shi's corpse, paused for a moment, took off the night-traveling clothes from his body, and covered her face. Then, with even deeper eyes, he put on a white martial robe and stepped out of the gate.

He had no bottom in his heart, not knowing if he would be able to return after walking out of this door.

However, the path of cultivation could not be a calm lake in the mountains, but a long river rushing toward the sea.

Holding the two invitations, he walked quickly down the stone steps in front of the gate and said loudly, "Luan-Sheng Lin-You, if you had a little less arrogance and a little more reason, you wouldn't have killed Cang Li and Li Jiufu, letting yourself fall into the abyss of failure."

The crowd of Wu Xiu, who were preparing to launch an attack on the Qin Garden, were shocked.

Who was so bold as to point at the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins' nose and curse them for being an arrogant and stupid fool?

Bai Shu, who was moving the box of thunder-method black ice with thought power, was so scared by Li Youyi that her vision went black, secretly regretting why she had come to the Qin Garden with this true barbarian thief.

"Presumptuous!"

The sound of bowstrings rang out deafeningly.

A magic weapon black ice arrow, bringing with it a harsh whistling sound, arrived in front of Li Youyi in an instant.

It was a Wu Xiu who cultivated the Seventh Sea, shot with a high-level magic weapon battle bow.

Li Youyi performed the Lingbao Robbery Grab, extending only his right hand, yet dozens of hand shadows appeared, steadily grabbing the flying arrow. He unloaded the arrow's impact to his feet.

"Boom!"

He stood still, but the stone slabs within a radius of two zhang under his feet were shattered, appearing with spiderweb-like cracks.

This move alone shocked many Wu Xiu present.

It was not just the powerful strength and mysterious moves, but also the calmness and tranquility in his eyes that were enough to make people look at him with respect.

Li Youyi unraveled the runes of the metal box that was half a person tall, opened the lid, and cold air and purple electric light escaped. Then, he placed the two invitations on the thunder-method black ice.

"You must not mess around; the thunder-method black ice is very unstable. What is placed on top are two Longevity Pills, one Dragon Seed, and two Dragon Bones. If they are destroyed, it would be too worthless."

Li Youyi stood proudly, the tip of the black ice arrow in his hand pressing against the two invitations. He scanned everyone present, colliding with countless pairs of eyes, and said to Bai Shu, "Help me move the corpses of the two senior brothers back."

Bai Shu, who was eager to do so, hurriedly carried the corpses back into the gate.

Someone recognized Li Youyi. "Is that the Li Youyi who claims to defeat all enemies in the same realm within five moves? Isn't he in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas? How could he catch that arrow just now?"

"He didn't catch it; he took the arrow away!"

"There really is thunder-method black ice. Fortunately, we didn't break in rashly before. If there is one box, there must be many boxes."

No one knew whether the thunder-method black ice could destroy the Du'e Temple's invitations, so they did not act rashly for the time being.

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins' silver pupils were brilliant, examining the man in the center of the street opposite, as if wanting to see through where his confidence came from.

Ming Niansheng, who was standing beside him, said, "This child is also too reckless; I'll go kill him."

"A Wu Xiu in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas can also make you angry?"

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins waved their hands and then raised their voices, "You had better say something reasonable; I can leave your whole corpse. Otherwise, many demon cultivators want to taste the meat of a genius who can defeat all enemies in the same realm within five moves."

Li Youyi ignored the roaring laughter around him. "The great battle between the Zuoqiu Gate and the imperial court is not over yet. If the Nine Li Tribe is out at this moment, the Zuoqiu Gate will have no other choice but to immediately lean toward the imperial court in exchange for a path of survival. Who do you guess is the first person they want to deal with?"

"If the Nine Li Tribe is not out, the Zuoqiu Gate and the imperial court will never truly cooperate in a meaningful sense. Because the Zuoqiu Gate supported by the Nine Li Tribe is too strong and poses too great a threat; how could the imperial court cooperate with such a strong Zuoqiu Gate?"

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins thought for a moment. "Makes some sense, but not enough."

Li Youyi said again, "You are wounded! Are you sure you want to deal with the joint siege of the Zuoqiu Gate and the imperial court in a heavily wounded state? Even if you win, your injuries will further worsen. By then, you will have even more enemies to face."

The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins said, "Then wouldn't I be letting the tiger return to the mountain?"

Li Youyi said, "You know better than anyone how heavily wounded Cang Li and Li Jiufu are; it is impossible for them to heal within half a month. Even if they are tigers, they are only two sick tigers, and they no longer pose much of a threat. Killing them at this moment is too unwise; you just want to vent the hatred in your heart."

A smile appeared on the cold and steep face of the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins. "Very reasonable! If it were Cang Li who said these words at this moment, I would definitely have taken people and left! But, Cang Li and Li Jiufu didn't even dare to show their faces, letting a Wu Xiu in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas come out to speak. Could it be that they are already heavily wounded to the point of coma, or have completely lost their combat power? If this is the case, why should I let them go instead of capturing them as hostages?"

Li Youyi secretly admired the wisdom of the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins, who had guessed the situation inside almost correctly.

If Cang Li showed his face now, the experts would definitely see the clues in his injury state.

There was no need for the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins to give orders.

A figure of a deformed race had already flown out rapidly, laughing strangely, "A mere unknown junior dares to come out to negotiate with the Young Venerable. Wait until this poor monk kills you, and I will naturally be able to test how Cang Li and Li Jiufu's injuries are. Haha!"

"Roar!"

The five-zhang-long Golden Tiger battle intent appeared, and Mie Di had already arrived in front of Li Youyi, striking out with a huge, golden tiger claw light shadow.
