Chapter 325: Difficult Situation

Six Bodhi seeds circled around the peerless twin sisters Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan, and over eight hundred scriptures floated in the space of several yards around them. Looking from the outside, they were completely invisible.

This set of magic artifacts was seized from Wang Shu.

Yang Qingchan's soul power was powerful; before being suppressed by the Heavenly Principle Hall, she was a female ghost evil spirit who dominated one side of the Dead Ghost Realm. Her current physical body had barely been able to withstand the power of the fifth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm.

After holding this set of magic artifacts, her combat power increased by a large section, so she had the ability to rescue Yang Qingxi from Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun.

The two Yangs stood side by side, looking into the distance at that battlefield in the depths of the swamp.

Both identical pretty faces revealed expressions of disbelief.

"Sikong Yanlun was actually slashed of an arm by him; with such strength, if it spreads back to the main altar, no one will dare to question his ranking as the Fourth Son of God again," Yang Qingxi felt a subtle emotion in her heart.

No matter how highly she looked at and admired Li Youyi, she did not believe that he, with his ruined Ancestral Field, could catch up to this generation of people who planted the Dao as dragon species.

But in fact, Li Youyi had never fallen behind, and in adversity, he was still progressing at a very fast speed.

Yang Qingchan said: "I can be sure that Yizhou Xue's palm just now has seriously injured him. If he has no other trump cards, he will definitely die here today."

"If he wants to flee, Yizhou Xue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun combined cannot keep him. Give him another year, and he will definitely step on all of them," Yang Qingxi had an inexplicable confidence in Li Youyi, always feeling that if one did not use ten times the power to suppress him, one could not suppress him.

He was more tenacious than anyone else, forever full of fighting spirit.

This quality on Li Youyi made Yang Qingxi very fascinated. But she was also very clear that nine months ago, Li Youyi did not respond to her two proposals, so she should have been clear-headed and stayed away rationally.

Yang Qingchan said: "Unfortunately, the Li fellow doesn't look like a person who can abandon everything and flee alone. Yizhou Xue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun are none of them fools, all of them are shrewd."

……

…………

Li Youyi and the five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors were about seventy or eighty yards away.

Yizhou Xue was the same.

But Yizhou Xue was a Great True Disciple, his Dao Heart External Image reached a mile, and he could instantly release magic power and attack intent to cover the five little ones. Moreover, his speed was a section faster than Li Youyi's.

Yizhou Xue saw that the five strange insects had found an extraordinary thousand-year essence medicine, and that Earth Spirit Boy had at least three thousand years of age.

He moved his steps, posing to rush over at any time to snatch the thousand-year essence medicine and capture the five strange insects.

In reality, his attention was always on Li Youyi, using this to test the weight of the five strange insects and the thousand-year essence medicine in his heart. If Li Youyi showed nervousness and panic, he would rush toward the five strange insects without hesitation.

Because he always understood one truth: killing Li Youyi was the primary goal. Seizing treasures was just the result he wanted to obtain.

People who reversed the two things would not have a good end.

If because of seizing treasures, he gave Li Youyi a chance to flee back to the main altar.

Not to mention Li Youyi's terrifying cultivation speed, in three or five years, he would definitely not be his opponent. Even Hall Master An and Venerable Nan would not let him off easily.

As long as the person died, the right of explanation was in his hands.

Li Youyi tried hard to heal his injuries, not daring to expose a single flaw, his mind running fast.

For him, as long as he could pick up the five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors back to the Jade Boat, he could activate the Jade Boat to flee rapidly, ensuring that Yizhou Xue and the Sikong brothers could not keep him.

And abandoning the five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors to flee alone would mean he would lose them all in this life.

The First Phoenix and Two Phoenix would also be at odds with him.

The light river at the bottom of the water dimmed completely.

The dark red swamp sea suddenly fell into a strange silence.

The five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors holding the Earth Spirit Boy sensed something was wrong, their ten little eyes turning non-stop.

On the other side, Qi Xiao activated the Jade Boat, wanting to meet with Li Youyi, but was intercepted by Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun.

The two saw that this Jade Boat was extraordinary and would not give Li Youyi a chance to return to the boat.

Qi Xiao saw that Tuoba Butuo's state was very wrong, and he might fall at any time, his heart anxious, racking his brains for a countermeasure.

Sikong Jingyuan shouted loudly: "Platoon Leader, shall we join forces? The one on the boat belongs to us, and the one under the boat belongs to you."

"Haha, I have the same intention, let's do it!"

Yizhou Xue finished speaking, a smile appearing in his eyes, performing his high speed, and rushed toward the five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.

Li Youyi's voice rang out: "Brother Qi, fully activate the Jade Boat; they can't catch up to you. Return to the main altar, and tell Hall Master An and Venerable Nan everything that happened today; they will naturally seek justice for me and make the enemy pay the price."

Qi Xiao had long thought of this strategy.

As long as he could use this to lure Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun away, Yizhou Xue alone might not be able to keep Li Youyi.

Therefore, the moment Li Youyi spoke, Qi Xiao did not drag his feet at all, changed the bow to the stern, drove the Jade Boat, and fled rapidly.

However, Qi Xiao was always reluctant to leave Li Youyi behind and did not activate the flying power of the Jade Boat to really flee. Instead, he sailed in the water, luring the two Fifth Sons of God to chase.

Yizhou Xue saw Li Youyi chasing after him, joy in his heart, and immediately released his Dao Heart External Image. Instantly, cold air filled a mile, and the air became sticky, as if filled with mud.

But he was unaffected, turned around, and at a faster speed, shuttled through the magic power airflow of the Dao Heart External Image, and struck with a punch.

The fist was bright and dazzling, the fist force like a knife or sword cutting his face, forming an illusion of space being dented.

Li Youyi was seriously injured and dared not take it head-on, mobilized liquid magic power, performed the Clear Void Cicada-Chasing Step, his body turned into a phantom, broke free from the suppression of his Dao Heart External Image, and dodged narrowly.

A "boom" sound of fist explosion rang in his ears, showing the domineering strength of a Great True Disciple pushing everything horizontally.

"A young Son of Heaven, a great-success movement Daoist technique! However, it is only the first layer of great success."

Yizhou Xue's eyes flashed with surprise, he stepped on his footwork, and struck with a second punch.

The fist force combined with the Dao Heart External Image, cold ice energy came from all directions, turning into snow filling the sky.

The snowflakes tore Li Youyi's protective magic power and protective spiritual light into pieces instantly.

Li Youyi had nowhere to dodge, his eyes sank, he released the Fusang Divine Tree light shadow and Burning Karma Millstone, flames surged, all power gathered on the millstone, and collided with the fist force with a roar.

"Bang!"

Like two mountains colliding, the water area exploded.

Li Youyi retreated rapidly, the injury in his chest and abdomen worsened, and his internal organs were in pain as if burning.

He could no longer suppress it, and a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth. It was drawn by magic power and stained the Blood Hand Print Demon Armor.

This soft armor quickly absorbed the blood, and the blood hand print pattern on his chest became a bit more scarlet.

Yizhou Xue dared to conclude that Li Youyi was definitely just breaking through to the Dao Seed Realm, but how could he walk through so many moves in his hands?

Relying on thought power, Daoist techniques, demon armor?

If he could not capture or kill Li Youyi today, he would not be able to sleep or eat in peace next.

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

The five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors intercepted, preventing Yizhou Xue from taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

The five little ones were all at the second heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, and although their combat power was not yet comparable to a martial cultivator of the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, they were comparable to the peak of the third heaven. Moreover, their speed was extremely fast, ignoring the suppression of the Dao Heart External Image.

The five joined forces, and their heaven-defying Daoist techniques emerged one after another, forcing Yizhou Xue to deal with them in a hurry.

"These strange insects are much stronger than nine months ago, and each one has advanced to the ranks of experts. If they are allowed to continue growing, won't they be comparable to several Longevity Realm giants in the future?"

The pressure in Yizhou Xue's heart was no less than Li Youyi's.

The sound of sword ringing came to his ears, and he saw Li Youyi slashing with his sword. His mouth opened, and a bright magic artifact long sword spat out, turning into a stunning streamer, striking Li Youyi's chest.

"Boom!"

On Li Youyi's body, a blood hand print larger than his body appeared, colliding head-on with Yizhou Xue's magic artifact long sword.

Thousands of sword Qi were beaten away by the blood hand print.

The magic power in Yizhou Xue's Ancestral Field erupted like a river, sea, and lake, and he struck with both fists, instantly fist shadows were everywhere, striking in all directions.

Li Youyi and the five Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors retreated, then gathered together and fled rapidly.

Yizhou Xue's killing intent was thick, he recalled the magic artifact long sword, and chased after them.

Li Youyi could feel the resistance from Yizhou Xue's Dao Heart External Image, as if walking in a mud swamp, relying entirely on the Blood Hand Print Demon Armor and the Clear Void Cicada-Chasing Step movement technique, so he was not instantly caught up by the opponent.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

It was impossible to escape, unless he used the Evil Camel Bell or the Prefect's official robe.

A gust of cold wind blew toward his face.

In the wind, Li Youyi smelled a familiar fragrance, and immediately suppressed the idea of using the Evil Camel Bell, calling out melodiously: "Qingxi, help me with a hand!"

Behind, Yizhou Xue's expression tightened, looking around.

He was not afraid of Yang Qingxi hiding in the dark; what he feared was that if today's matter was exposed, there would be endless trouble.

Yizhou Xue slapped his armor with his palm, the soul light of the armor rose greatly, and a giant chicken-headed tiger-bodied soul beast seven meters long appeared beneath him. If Yang Qingxi really appeared, he would eliminate her together.

Yang Qingxi's voice rang out faintly: "When encountering danger, you call Qingxi. When the danger passes, you call me Miss Yang. When you turn your face and don't recognize people, you call me by my full name."

"Yang Qingxi, since you have appeared, you must have the idea of taking action; how about sharing half the benefits?" Li Youyi urged, feeling that this Eldest Miss Yang had become somewhat pretentious.

Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan appeared at the same time, standing on the water surface.

The former held double swords.

The latter controlled six Bodhi seeds, circling around her body, and over eight hundred scriptures were presented in the space.

Yang Qingxi sneered: "Why do you think I came to help you? Joining forces with them to kill you would be more beneficial."

Sikong Yanlun gave up chasing the Jade Boat and went to help Yizhou Xue intercept Li Youyi: "Haha, Qingxi said it well, let's take action together and kill this human. When the time comes, you can pick the treasures on him

"Fine! Since Young Lady Yang is so heartless, I, Li, can only accept my fate. Then let us fight; I want to see if you people can actually keep me here."

Li Youyi’s gaze was resolute; he had never truly pinned his hopes on Yang Qingxi, knowing full well that the two of them were merely in a relationship of mutual exploitation.

They had shared life-and-death experiences, but they lacked a life-and-death bond.

Li Youyi let out a loud shout and engaged with Sikong Yanlun, who was intercepting him from the front, swinging his sword to strike; the sword Qi was brilliant, tearing open the manifestation of his Dao heart.

"Bang!"

Sikong Yanlun sneered, raising his single arm to mobilize the power of a hundred ghost generals and striking out with a ghost-fire palm print.

The palm print was like a copper wall and iron bastion in the shape of five fingers, crushing Li Youyi’s sword momentum and mental power attack.

With the added strength of a hundred ghosts, Sikong Yanlun was confident he could contend with a Fifth Heaven Wu Xiu.

Yet, even with an absolute advantage in combat power, Sikong Yanlun still did not risk a life-or-death struggle with Li Youyi; after striking with one palm, he retreated at high speed. As long as he could restrict and delay Li Youyi, once Yi Zhouxue caught up, the two of them could easily kill him together.
