Chapter 238: Immortal Child Retreats

The Earth Spirit Ash Mist is indeed extremely dangerous; once inhaled into the body, the body will rapidly stiffen until it cannot move. In severe cases, the flesh and blood will even rot.

But poisoning is too difficult.

Li Youyi, whose cultivation was still in the Gushing Spring Realm at the time, could quickly detect it and observe the ash mist particles in the air.

With Ge Xiantong's cultivation, to sneak attack him, one could only be unexpected, and in the moment he lost his guard, let him inhale some into his body. Moreover, the Earth Spirit Ash Spring must be hidden in a place he would never think of to achieve an unexpected effect.

In the blink of an eye, the noodle bowl was still in a state of exploding.

A finger from Ge Xiantong had already reached Li Youyi's brow, the finger like lightning, about to shatter his skull.

It was a residual shadow!

Li Youyi was well prepared, knowing that in a close-range confrontation with Ge Xiantong, he certainly couldn't avoid his first strike with his own speed.

Therefore, he had long since activated the God-Travel Talisman stuck to his chest.

Electric light flickered on his body, turning into residual shadows. Every step he took, a battle intent shadow would rise behind him.

Not until all five battle intent shadows were released did Li Youyi break through Ge Xiantong's battle intent suppression, regain his vision, and see the surrounding environment.

He tipped his toes.

"Awoo!"

Like an arrow shot out, he carried a yellow dragon light shadow, crashed through the roof, and appeared in mid-air ten zhang high.

He took a second step, and a third step followed closely.

Li Youyi knew very well that today was not about dueling with the number one person of the younger generation; simply escaping from his hands would be a great victory.

In an instant, he arrived at a height of thirty zhang from the ground; at this time, the fragments of the noodle bowl in the shop had just fallen to the ground.

Just when Li Youyi thought he had shaken off Ge Xiantong, a terrifying aura that was extremely dangerous appeared behind his head.

If Li Youyi had eyes on his back, he would see that from the moment he rushed out of the noodle shop, Ge Xiantong had been following behind him, his speed not inferior to the God-Travel Talisman.

Like his shadow.

Li Youyi's heart sank, he turned around abruptly, and the Resentful Soul Spear flew out from the mouth of the boundary bag sewn into his sleeve.

He grabbed the spear with both hands, erupted with all his strength, and thrust straight at Ge Xiantong's neck.

Ge Xiantong pinched his fingers with his right hand, pointed out swiftly, and met Li Youyi's unexpected strike.

The fingertip collided with the spear tip, and magic power ripples appeared one after another.

Meeting a Hundred-Character Scripture magic artifact with bare hands.

"Boom!"

They separated as quickly as they met; Li Youyi fell from mid-air, blood mist appeared on his body, and he crashed heavily onto the formation light veil of a building.

The light veil and the building collapsed with a roar, turning into ruins.

Fortunately, he had activated the Corpse Clothing Soft Armor in time, and relying on the buffer of the soft armor's blood mist, Li Youyi was not heavily injured; his arms and legs were aching as if they were about to tear, and he stood in the depression of the ruins.

The sound of whistling wind and a blurred figure descended from the sky.

Channeling magic power, Li Youyi healed his aching hands and feet in an instant, restored his combat power, and used the God-Travel Talisman to rush toward the large river not far away.

"God-Travel Talisman!"

Ge Xiantong shouted these three words, waved his sleeves, and the Sun and Moon battle intent flew out, turning the surrounding heaven and earth into a vortex of sun and moon intent, pulling at Li Youyi who was about to arrive at the riverbank.

Li Youyi only felt thousands of chains wrapped around his body, unable to break free.

Therefore, he gathered all his strength, mobilized five battle intent shadows, used the Resentful Soul Spear as a long sword, erupted with fourteen-tenths of his combat power, and slashed at Ge Xiantong who was chasing from behind.

Ge Xiantong caught Li Youyi's strike with bare hands, unloading all the impact force into the ground.

Then, he grabbed the spear shaft with one hand and slashed at the spear shaft with a palm knife with the other.

"Bang!"

The Hundred-Character Scripture magic artifact-level Resentful Soul Spear was split apart by his palm in an explosive manner.

Li Youyi finally knew what level the number one person of the younger generation was at; he was fearless in his heart, his battle intent boiling, he did not retreat or avoid, but rushed forward, pointing a finger at Ge Xiantong's brow.

Because, when Ge Xiantong grabbed and split the spear, a defensive gap appeared.

"Bold!"

If it were any other inheritor, having experienced the two duels just now, they would certainly have been scared out of their wits. But Li Youyi dared to seize the opportunity to counterattack against the trend, and even broke his protective magic power with one finger.

"But even with the God-Travel Talisman, you are only fast in your legs; your hand speed is too slow!"

Ge Xiantong arrived first despite starting later, punching Li Youyi in the heart, wanting to shatter his heart directly.

"Boom!"

The punch hit.

Ge Xiantong showed no joy, but his eyes changed drastically.

Li Youyi's robe was blown apart by the punch, revealing the purple soft armor he wore close to his body. Bearing Ge Xiantong's punch, a towering blood mist and nearly a thousand blood-colored scriptures erupted from inside the purple soft armor.

According to the instructions of Master Coffin, he had previously released some of his own blood and soaked it into the blood handprint on the heart position of the Corpse Clothing Soft Armor.

Just now, pointing a finger at Ge Xiantong and deliberately exposing the flaw in his heart was to lure him into attacking the area covered by the Corpse Clothing Soft Armor.

How much power Ge Xiantong used in that punch, the purple soft armor returned that much power when the blood mist and blood-colored scriptures erupted.

"Boom!"

Ge Xiantong retreated, his fist aching unbearably.

Li Youyi didn't feel good either; the purple soft armor didn't completely neutralize Ge Xiantong's fist force, his body was thrown into the air, appearing above the large river, and a mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth.

"Blood Handprint Demon Armor, are you from the Demon Kingdom?" Ge Xiantong said.

The Blood Handprint Demon Armor is a ninth-grade Hundred-Character Scripture magic artifact.

After the nine hundred-plus blood-colored scriptures were scattered by Ge Xiantong's punch, they quickly flew back like birds returning to their nests, branding themselves on Li Youyi's entire skin.

Brother Qi Xiao, hiding in the alley, was already trembling with fear, wanting only to flee.

That was Ge Xiantong!

In a one-on-one contest, anyone who could take one move from him without dying at the same realm could become famous throughout the world.

Shi Shishi shouted: "Ge Xiantong! The Zuoqiu Sect, the Li clan, and the Zhu Sect have already taken action, breaking out from the imperial court's direction. Time is of the essence, yet you are wasting time here. Do you know that every moment, imperial court talents are being killed?"

Brother Qi Xiao's scalp went numb, and he followed up with a shout: "Seventh realm fighting fifth realm, shameful!"

Li Youyi flashed, dived into the rolling large river, wanting to escape from the riverbed.

Ge Xiantong was naturally worried about the situation of the imperial court Wu Xiu, his heart far from as calm as it appeared on the surface. But he didn't want to let Li Youyi go so easily, fearing he was an even greater hidden danger.

With his pupils, he found Li Youyi escaping on the riverbed.

He didn't dare to chase into the riverbed rashly, fearing he would fall into Li Youyi's schemes again.

The opponent was clearly prepared to fight him, with all kinds of means, and was absolutely not scared by his reputation as the world's number one. Today, it wasn't that he found him, but that he deliberately let him find him.

Since Li Youyi chose the battlefield here, how could he not have arranged it in advance?

Li Youyi's psychological warfare strategy had clearly worked, making Ge Xiantong's indestructible state of mind hesitant and chaotic.

"Rumble!"

Ge Xiantong's figure appeared in the center of the downstream river channel, both palms out, sun and moon together, vast magic power hitting out, overturning the entire river channel.

The large river flowed backward, water waves turning.

The power was so strong, like a peerless god or demon.

The palm force and magic power had clearly transcended the Five Seas Realm, shocking some of the older Dao Seed Realm Wu Xiu who were watching nearby.

Li Youyi was hit by the palm force energy of Ge Xiantong, flying out from the riverbed, falling backward with the water waves toward the stone bridge.

"Whoosh!"

Ge Xiantong's movement technique was like a ghost, appearing above Li Youyi's body.

A terrifying aura comparable to a Longevity Realm Wu Xiu erupted from under the stone bridge, heading straight for Ge Xiantong, as if wanting to kill him in one blow.

Ge Xiantong was shocked, the palm that was originally hitting Li Youyi turning to attack the Longevity Realm Wu Xiu.

The palm force hit, only to find it was a moth insect the size of a palm.

The Big Phoenix, which was disguising the aura of a Longevity Realm Wu Xiu, was hit by Ge Xiantong and flew backward, crashing into the stone bridge and falling into the river with the rubble.

Li Youyi had been secretly activating the Black Iron Seal while on the riverbed; since the Big Phoenix had finally won him a chance, how could he not seize it?

"Rumble!"

The Black Iron Seal hit out, turning into the size of several zhang, erupting with more than a dozen thick purple lightning bolts, hitting Ge Xiantong and sending him flying.

"Bang! Bang..."

Ge Xiantong fell back to the shore, crashing through several buildings before stabilizing his figure.

He didn't dare to fight anymore; he had to refine the Earth Spirit Ash Mist he had accidentally inhaled just now. If he didn't refine it, if Luan Sheng Lin You arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He thought he could kill Li Youyi in one or two moves; he had been pretending not to be poisoned, forcibly suppressing it.

At the same time, he wasn't sure how many more trump cards Li Youyi had, and how many more moves it would take to kill him.

"To have such combat power at the fifth realm of the Five Seas Realm, I see that Luan Sheng Lin You's death is not far off if he is your enemy! Thanks for the treat of noodles, remember to pay the shopkeeper for repairing the noodle shop roof. The other damaged buildings on this street are on me."

When Ge Xiantong's last word fell, he was already several miles away.

Li Youyi retrieved the Black Iron Seal, his Blood Handprint Demon Armor restored to its original state, and he landed on the street by the river, his legs softening, kneeling on one knee, spitting out another mouthful of blood, his internal organs severely damaged, his entire body's bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart.

"He is heavily injured; now is the perfect time to kill him."

Experts from the Far West Ash Region hiding in the dark flew out from all directions, attacking Li Youyi.

Some threw hidden weapons, some shot magic artifact arrows.

Clearly, Ge Xiantong's words when he left had an effect.

Brother Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi rushed out, knocking away all the attack methods of the ambushers, and fought with six or seven Wu Xiu.

After a while, the six Phoenix-Wing Moth Emperors brought the heavily injured Big Phoenix back. Li Youyi opened the insect bag, put them in, and stood up slowly. Looking at the increasing number of enemies, he suppressed his injuries and took out another God-Travel Talisman and stuck it on his body.

"Go!"

After activating the God-Travel Talisman, Li Youyi carried one person in each hand and fled urgently.

Qi Jin, in the appearance of Zhuang Yue, flew down and stood on the broken bridge.

After listening to the detailed report from her subordinates, a look of shock appeared on her face: "This is impossible!"

"But the facts are before our eyes; many people saw Li Youyi's exchange with Ge Xiantong! Ge Xiantong was repelled and had no power to kill him." That Seventh Sea demon Wu Xiu also felt uneasy, feeling that letting Li Youyi escape this time would definitely lead to a monstrous disaster in the future.

This child is too terrifying!

In an alley not far away, a patrolling immortal envoy of the Due Temple wearing Taoist robes leaned against the wall and began to record with a brush.

At the same time.

On Taoli Mountain, the older powerhouses of the major powers were also discussing heatedly.
