Chapter 277: A Full-Force Battle

The battle-method intent of a Five Seas Realm martial cultivator, upon reaching the Dao Seed Realm, will transform into a more mysterious "Dao Heart Intent" and "External Manifestation of the Dao Heart."

Dao Heart Intent, after reaching the "Palpitation" of the second layer of the Dao Seed Realm, will be significantly more tyrannical, which is an important way for martial cultivators to cultivate their own souls.

Just by relying on the power of intent, it can suppress Five Seas Realm martial cultivators to the point of trembling in fear, causing serious internal influence, winning without a fight.

At this moment, Qin Qian was in this situation.

Li Li Youyi also felt that invisible intent power, releasing six five-zhang-tall battle-method intent god-shadows, blocking Long Ting's intent attack outside the jade boat.

Having cultivated five-stage Qi, he could maintain the six battle-method intent god-shadows for a relatively long time, erupting with fifteen times the combat power.

Of course, this state consumed a huge amount of magic Qi.

"Bang!"

Li Li Youyi's gaze met Long Ting's from afar, suddenly, he lifted his arm, pressed a palm toward the back of Qin Qian's head, and injected thick magic Qi into it, untying the seal of her Fengfu before the inner world collapsed: "You come to urge the jade boat, leave Long Ting to me."

Qin Qian had already recovered from the suppression of Long Ting's Dao Heart intent.

She endured her injuries, leaped out of the coffin, walked quickly to the bow of the boat very obediently, pressed her palm toward the boat body, and magic Qi surged out continuously.

Qin Qian looked back, reminding: "You be careful, Long Ting is not what he used to be. The bloodline and cultivation method of their Longmen are extremely compatible with dragon seeds, and his cultivation is very terrifying."

"Destroying one's own prestige and raising the ambition of others. If we really fight to the death, who will win is unknown."

Li Li Youyi's entire body's magic Qi circulated, breathing and inhaling, letting himself enter the best state.

"Whoosh!"

The jade boat's light soared, and its speed increased sharply again.

On the surface of the crystal-clear boat body, dense scriptures appeared.

"This is..."

Qin Qian was quite surprised, feeling that the grade of this jade boat was not low.

If it weren't for the winding river channel of the underground river, needing to constantly change direction, its speed should be very astonishing.

Long Ting chased to within sixty zhang, seeing the jade boat's speed increase, his expression sank, and he summoned the trump card magic tool "Red Fire Dragon Scale" from his Ancestral Field.

This dragon scale was left behind by the Flying Dragon of the ancient Son of Heaven when he was young, and was refined by the sages of the Longmen into a seventh-grade hundred-character scripture magic tool. It was the strongest battle weapon bestowed upon Long Ting after reaching the Dao Seed Realm, and also his trump card for being able to reverse-slay those of higher realms.

The Longmen had another thousand-character tool refined from the Son of Heaven's Dragon Scale, and its power was even more terrifying.

The Red Fire Dragon Scale, driven by Dao Seed magic Qi, had crimson flame scriptures appear on it, making the cold underground blood river space instantly as hot as summer.

The dragon scale, nearly one zhang in diameter, slashed out, and the power erupted made the river water of the entire river channel boil.

Li Li Youyi stood at the stern of the boat with his sword, activating the protective power of the Blood Hand Seal Demon Armor, his skin covered in demon patterns.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Twelve battle-method intent god-shadows all appeared, crowding the space around the boat body, like gods descending.

In the past three months, he had already cultivated battle-method intents for all Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect.

Li Li Youyi's mental state reached the peak, his heart calm, judging the speed and trajectory of the Red Fire Dragon Scale, looking for the best time to strike.

Holding the sword with both hands, he slashed horizontally in the air.

A ten-odd-zhang-long sword Qi arc flew out.

At this moment, the Red Fire Dragon Scale broke through the jade boat's defense and appeared directly in front of Li Li Youyi. The crimson flame brilliance seemed to want to burn him into ashes.

Qin Qian stared at this scene, her heart hanging in her throat.

A Five Seas Realm, a Dao Seed Realm expert, how to fight?

"Boom!"

The Huang Long Sword and the Red Fire Dragon Scale collided, emitting a metallic friction sound that could pierce the eardrums. The power of the high-grade magic tool pressed the stern of the jade boat to sink violently.

Sword and scale, sparks splashing everywhere.

The energy of the magical artifact held for a split second before Li Li Youyi was blasted backward. He crashed through the coffin at the stern and tumbled all the way to the bow. The webs between his thumbs and forefingers split, blood dripping from his fingers, and his outer robe burst apart, revealing the Blood Handprint Demon Armor worn beneath his Prefect's official robes.

It could be seen that it was an official robe, but it could not be seen what official robe it was.

Official robe protective magic tools were not rare items.

Li Li Youyi blocked the attack of the Red Fire Dragon Scale, causing it to change direction and slash obliquely into the right stone wall, hitting the stone wall until a large area collapsed.

Qin Qian stared at Li Li Youyi beside her like a monster.

How could he withstand Long Ting's strongest blow?

If he hadn't been crippled, his future martial path attainments would simply be unimaginable.

Long Ting's brow furrowed, obviously not expecting this result. He thought that having used the Red Fire Dragon Scale, he could definitely destroy their boat and kill them with one blow.

With his current cultivation, he still couldn't control such a heavy weapon as he pleased, and the attack was temporarily interrupted. While continuing to chase, he released magic Qi to retrieve the dragon scale from the cliff wall.

"Li Li Youyi, your Ancestral Field isn't crippled, right? How did your combat power improve so much? Looking at you now, it doesn't look like Fengfu Seed Dao either."

Long Ting's voice came from the smoke and waves of the river surface.

Li Li Youyi circulated his magic Qi, and his numb and painful arms quickly recovered.

He secretly thought about what the certainty of exposing the prefecture governor's official robe and killing Long Ting was? Quickly, he abandoned this idea.

The cultivation gap was too large, and the risk was difficult to control.

Today's Long Ting could indeed be called a great enemy.

Li Li Youyi pretended to be relaxed, laughing: "It's not that I've become stronger, it's that you aren't as strong as you think you are. You can only bully that... that Lu Lu Cangsheng's woman who hasn't even cultivated the Seventh Sea clearly..."

Qin Qian rolled her eyes; this guy didn't even remember her name.

"My name is Qin Qian." She said.

Long Ting saw the blood between Li Li Youyi's fingers and knew he was holding on by force.

Just about to urge the Red Fire Dragon Scale again.

A dense sound of insects and the vibration of flying wings rang in his ears.

Only to see the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors summoning a large number of underground fierce insects, turning into an insect tide army, like a glowing cloud, flying toward Long Ting.

"I forgot, you are also an insect-controlling master."

Long Ting stood on the dragon's back, standing tall and unafraid, took out a bone flute, injected magic Qi, integrated Dao Heart intent, and played a flute sound with extreme penetrating power.

The sound waves and magic Qi formed ripples visible to the naked eye in the underground space.

Let alone those fierce insects, even Qin Qian, a Seventh Sea martial cultivator, was affected by the flute sound, her mind full of distracting thoughts, and blood flowed from her ears.

Li Li Youyi watched the insect swarm gradually becoming chaotic, and immediately released the Heavenly Spirit Nerve.

With thought power, he brought the insect swarm within dozens of zhang back on track.

At the same time, he quickly sketched insect texts, flying out from between his eyebrows, hitting those commander-level fierce insects.

Long Ting used the flute sound to control the insect swarm, confronting and killing the insect swarm controlled by Li Li Youyi and the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.

Insect corpses fell like rain.

When he saw the two divine tree light shadows supported behind Li Li Youyi, his heart couldn't help but be shocked; he didn't expect this person to have achieved such a great breakthrough in thought power.

However, this also indirectly proved that Li Li Youyi's Ancestral Field should be truly crippled!

Otherwise, how could he put the focus of cultivation on thought power?

"Awoo!"

The Azure Dragon roared, the dragon roar deafening.

The ten-odd-zhang-long Azure Dragon light and shadow under Long Ting's feet suddenly lifted a sharp dragon claw, slapping toward the jade boat, coming toward Li Li Youyi.

"Boom!"

The jade boat's protective scriptures and light shield were shaken violently by the dragon claw.

The boat body swayed.

"Caught up! He became faster... no, it's us who became slower!"

Li Li Youyi looked back at Qin Qian at the bow of the boat, finding her face extremely pale, her magic Qi severely consumed.

"Two Five Seas Realm, being able to let me chase for so long, you all already have quite some ability."

Long Ting flashed, left the Azure Dragon light and shadow, flew up, struck the Red Fire Dragon Scale from top to bottom, and slashed toward the jade boat again.

Li Li Youyi knew very well that the Red Fire Dragon Scale's power was immense, and even if he blocked it, he would be injured.

And Long Ting would take advantage of the situation to board the jade boat.

Once he boarded the boat, he would fall into a completely passive situation.

Without any hesitation, in an instant, Li Li Youyi performed his movement technique, dodged the Red Fire Dragon Scale, stepped on the Huang Long light and shadow, soared into the sky, and appeared at the same height as Long Ting.

"Directly confronting me? You are truly confused!"

Long Ting's mouth curled up, and the bone flute in his hand pointed out.

Dense scriptures appeared on the flute body.

The sword in Li Li Youyi's hand had just touched the bone flute when he felt a huge force that could not be resisted, and the battle sword almost flew out of his hand.

Long Ting saw Li Li Youyi's embarrassment, knowing that he occupied an incomparable advantage in realm and strength. Subsequently, his five fingers pinched into a claw seal, grabbing toward his neck.

"Swish!"

Two Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors rushed out from behind Li Li Youyi, one left and one right.

One spat Jin Wu flames, the other released lightning from its eyes.

Long Ting's protective magic Qi was broken, his heart was shocked, and he had to withdraw the claw grabbing toward Li Li Youyi's neck. Subsequently, he struck a magic Qi dragon claw phantom, neutralizing the Jin Wu flames and lightning.

At the same time, his Dao Heart intent sensed three Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors rising from behind him, extending sharp claws to attack.

Long Ting compromised once more, abandoning the initiative to attack Li Li Youyi, and instead mobilized a vast amount of magic power to activate the silver-robed white garment on his body.

Countless silver scriptures appeared on his body.

"Bang!"

The sixth Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperor appeared out of thin air, hitting him, making the silver scriptures vibrate.

Long Ting was like being hit by a heavy fist, retreating backward in the air, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he chose to compromise just now, putting defense first. Otherwise, under the tacit cooperation of Li Li Youyi and the exotic insects, the first wave of attacks could have wounded him.

The combat power of these seven exotic insects was simply not comparable to that at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.

Li Li Youyi had time to heal, the magic Qi in his body circulated a circle, his arms recovered, and he attacked with the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors together, fighting chaotically with Long Ting, from mid-air all the way to the water surface.

"Bang! Bang..."

The stone walls on both sides of the river channel collapsed continuously.

On the other side, the jade boat hit by the Red Fire Dragon Scale had its light shield and scriptures explode, sinking into the water with a bang.

Half a moment later, the jade boat floated up.

Qin Qian lay at the bow of the boat, injured so badly she couldn't stand up, looking at the two fighting on the water surface. She originally thought it was a one-sided battle, but at this moment, they were fighting evenly.

Long Ting was fighting extremely uncomfortably; clearly his cultivation was crushing the opponent, but he was restrained everywhere.

It was as if he was being besieged by eight Dao Seed Realm martial cultivators.

He could easily beat back any one of them, but the one person and seven insects joined forces, making him flustered. From time to time, he had to take a hit.

What gave him an even bigger headache was that whether it was Li Li Youyi or the seven exotic insects, their defense and endurance were abnormally tyrannical, making it very difficult to break them one by one.

After fighting hundreds of moves, Long Ting seized the opportunity, the Azure Dragon light and shadow erupted from his body again, and his figure took advantage of the situation to rush out of the encirclement, retrieved the Red Fire Dragon Scale, and prepared to use this heavy weapon to break the formation of the one person and seven insects.

"Swish!"

The Fifth Phoenix was fast, able to catch up to Long Ting, slashing its wings toward his neck, containing him.

Even Qin Qian on the jade boat saw the danger of the situation at this moment, and immediately used her remaining strength to perform the Thunder Method, drawing eighteen Thunder Strike Formations to strike Long Ting.

Li Li Youyi's figure speed reached the limit, stabbing a sword toward Long Ting's brow.

Long Ting shook off the Fifth Phoenix and roared: "Coiling Dragon Arm!"

This was the first Dao Art he cultivated!

Dao Art cultivation is extremely difficult; wanting to refine the first layer of a Dao Art takes at least a year or two.

Long Ting spent a large amount of time impacting the realm, and the Dao Art was only a glimpse of the path and not cultivated to the first layer. But even so, it was already able to erupt with tyrannical combat power instantly.

His right arm appeared with dense, profound iron dragon scales, colliding with the sword Li Li Youyi stabbed and the power of the six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.

"Boom!"

Li Li Youyi's entire body shook violently, the demon patterns on his body dimmed, his internal organs were in severe pain, his body flew backward, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

The six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors also fell into the water of the underground river.

On the other side, Long Ting's seven orifices were all bleeding, and he was injured even more heavily, his body flying out and crashing into the stone wall, his body embedded in it.

Both were very decisive, their fighting will was tenacious, and their fighting wisdom was extremely high.

Li Li Youyi took out the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, drew more than a dozen lightning brilliance, and smashed it toward the stone wall.

Long Ting finished urging the Red Fire Dragon Scale and struck toward Li Li Youyi.

Seeing the heavy weapon flying over, the two's expressions changed drastically, each performing their movement technique to flee and dodge.
