Chapter 279: Fighting with All Might

The battle-method intent of a Five-Sea Realm Wu Xiu, 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 Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, will be significantly stronger, which is an important way for Wu Xiu to cultivate their own soul.

Just by relying on the power of intent, it can suppress a Five-Sea Realm Wu Xiu into trembling with fear, causing serious internal influence, winning without a fight.

At this moment, Qin Qian was in this situation.

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

Having cultivated the Fifth-Order 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 lot of magic power.

"Bang!"

Li Youyi's gaze met Long Ting's from afar, and suddenly, he pressed a palm toward the back of Qin Qian's head, pouring thick magic power into it, untying the seal of her Wind Mansion before the internal world collapsed: "You come to activate the jade boat, leave Long Ting to me."

Qin Qian had 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, pressed her palm against the boat body, and the magic power in her body surged out continuously.

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

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

Li Youyi's whole body's magic power 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 flew out.

"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 underground river channel that required constant changes in direction, its speed should be very astonishing.

Long Ting chased within sixty yards, seeing the jade boat's speed increase, his eyes sank slightly, and he summoned his trump card magical artifact "Red Fire Dragon Scale" from his Ancestral Field.

This dragon scale was left behind by the ancient Son of Heaven Flying Dragon when he was young, and was refined by the sages of the Dragon Gate into a Seventh-Grade Hundred-Character Scripture magical artifact. It was the strongest battle weapon granted to Long Ting after reaching the Dao Seed Realm, and also his trump card for being able to counter-slay those of higher realms.

The Dragon Gate had another Thousand-Character Artifact refined from the Son of Heaven Dragon Scale, and its power was even more terrifying.

Under the stimulation of the Dao Seed magic power, one after another red flame scriptures emerged on the dragon scale, which was nearly a yard in diameter, making the cold underground blood river space instantly as hot as summer.

The dragon scale, nearly a yard in diameter, flew out, and the power it erupted made the river water of the entire river channel boil.

Li Youyi stood at the stern of the boat with his sword, activating the protective power of the Blood Handprint Magic Armor, magic patterns densely covering his skin.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

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

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

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

He held the sword with both hands and slashed horizontally in the air.

A sword Qi arc more than ten yards long flew out.

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

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

A Five-Sea Realm, a Dao Seed Realm powerhouse, how to fight?

"Boom!"

The Yellow Dragon Sword and the Red Fire Dragon Scale collided, making a metallic friction sound that could pierce the eardrums. The power of the high-grade magical artifact pressed the stern of the jade boat to sink violently.

Sword and scale, sparks splashing.

The magic tool's energy held for a brief moment before Li Youyi was blasted backward. He crashed through the coffin at the stern and tumbled all the way to the bow. The webbing between his thumbs and forefingers split, blood dripping from his fingers. His outer robe shredded, 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 kind of official robe it was.

Official robe protective magical artifacts were not rare things.

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

Qin Qian stared at 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 frowned, 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 base, he still couldn't control such a heavy weapon as he wished, and the attack was temporarily interrupted. While continuing to chase, he released magic power to take back the dragon scale from the cliff wall.

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

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

Li Youyi's magic power circulated, and his numb and painful arms quickly recovered.

He secretly thought, what is the chance of exposing the Prefecture Governor's official robe and killing Long Ting? Soon, he gave up this idea.

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

The current Long Ting was indeed a great enemy.

Li Youyi pretended to be relaxed and joked: "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 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 on Li Youyi's fingers and knew he was holding on.

Just about to activate the Red Fire Dragon Scale again.

A dense insect chirping and the sound 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, flying toward Long Ting like a glowing cloud.

"I forgot, you are also an insect controller."

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

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

Let alone those fierce insects, even a Seventh Sea Wu Xiu like Qin Qian was affected by the flute sound, her mind full of distracting thoughts, blood flowing from both ears.

Li Youyi watched the gradually chaotic insect swarm and immediately released the Heavenly and Earth Nerves.

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

At the same time, he quickly sketched insect texts one by one, flying from his brow and striking the fierce insects of the general level.

Long Ting used the flute sound to control the insect swarm, confronting and killing the insect swarm controlled by 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 Youyi, his heart couldn't help but be startled; he didn't expect this person to have made a big breakthrough in thought power.

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

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

"Awoo!"

The Azure Dragon roared, the dragon roar deafening.

The ten-yard-long Azure Dragon light and shadow under Long Ting's feet suddenly raised a sharp dragon claw, slapped toward the jade boat, and came toward 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 that we became slower!"

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

"Just two Five-Sea Realm, being able to let me chase for so long, you already have enough ability."

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

And Long Ting would take the opportunity to board the jade boat.

Once he let him board the boat, he would fall into a completely passive situation.

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

"Directly dueling with me? You are really confused!"

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

Dense scriptures emerged on the flute body.

The sword in Li Youyi's hand had just touched the bone flute when he felt an irresistible giant force coming, and the battle sword almost flew out of his hand.

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

"Swish!"

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

One spat out Golden Crow flames, and one released lightning from its eyes.

Long Ting's protective magic power was broken, his heart was shocked, and he had to withdraw the claw grabbing toward Li Youyi's neck. Subsequently, he struck a magic power dragon claw phantom, neutralizing the Golden Crow 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 Youyi, and instead mobilized a massive amount of magic Qi to fuel the silver-robed white garment he wore.

Countless silver scriptures emerged on his body.

"Bang!"

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

Long Ting was hit like a heavy punch, retreating backward in the air, breaking into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had chosen to compromise just now, putting defense first. Otherwise, with the tacit cooperation of 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 to be mentioned in the same breath as at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.

Li Youyi had time to heal, the magic power in his body circulated, his arms recovered, and he attacked with the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, 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.

After a while, the jade boat floated up.

Qin Qian lay at the bow of the boat, injured so badly that she could hardly stand up, looking at the two people fighting on the water surface. She thought it was a one-sided battle, but at this moment, they were fighting inextricably.

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

It was as if he was being besieged by eight Dao Seed Realm Wu Xiu.

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

What was even more headache-inducing was that whether it was 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, his figure took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement, took back the Red Fire Dragon Scale, and prepared to use this heavy weapon to break the formation of one person and seven insects.

"Swish!"

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

Even Qin Qian on the jade boat saw the danger of the situation at this moment, immediately using her last remaining strength to perform the Thunder Technique, summoning the Eighteen Thunder Strike Array, striking toward Long Ting.

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: "Qiu Dragon Arm!"

This was the first Dao Technique he cultivated!

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

Long Ting spent a lot of time charging toward the realm, and the Dao Technique was only a glimpse of the path and not cultivated to the first layer. But even so, he was already able to erupt with tyrannical combat power instantly.

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

"Boom!"

Li Youyi's whole body shook violently, the magic patterns on his body dimmed, his internal organs were in great 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 was bleeding from all seven orifices and was even more severely injured; his body flew out and hit the stone wall with a bang, his body embedded in it.

Both were very decisive, with tenacious fighting will and extremely high combat intelligence.

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

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

Seeing the heavy weapon flying over, their expressions changed drastically, and they each performed their movement techniques to flee and dodge.
