Chapter 83: Yao Yin

Leaving the Blood Mud Space, Master Lingwei's words just now kept echoing in Li Youyi's mind.

"If telekinetic power breaks through again, what kind of changes will happen to the Lesser Yang Star?"

For the next three days, Li Youyi dared not engage in strenuous activity. Besides eating medicinal diet, he was healing his wounds or entering the Blood Tree Forest to practice telekinetic power, swallowing light to nourish the fire.

The trial-takers returned one after another.

Li Youyi didn't know how many people had died in this first trial, but the medicinal diet kitchen had become much colder than before.

Seeing Yao Yin walk out of the stone gate, Li Youyi hurriedly stood up, preparing to leave.

"You... you wait a moment!"

Yao Yin pretended to be calm and indifferent, carrying her small hands behind her back, walking into the Blood Tree Forest, keeping a distance of about a zhang: "In the spider cave, why didn't you kill me?"

It was the first time he had seen her in three days. Li Youyi said: "When we entered the cave, didn't we agree to wear down the other competitors first? So, I was just fulfilling my promise."

Leaving these words behind, Li Youyi walked away quickly.

Heading to the medicinal diet kitchen.

Yao Yin clearly didn't believe this answer and followed quickly, but kept a distance of at least a zhang: "Fine, then it's settled! I will definitely repay the favor I owe you."

"Repay the favor?" Li Youyi said.

Yao Yin exuded the arrogance common to Pure Immortal Body Wu Xiu: "The Cistanche precious medicine, you fed it to me, right? I turned a misfortune into a blessing; in these three days, I have broken through to Eight Springs. Among all the competitors, only that Nine Springs Supreme Human is slightly troublesome. Let's do this: I will clear out all the competitors and leave you for last."

"Kill me last?" Li Youyi said.

Yao Yin's expression turned solemn: "This is something that can't be helped. At that time, I will give you a chance for a fair duel."

Li Youyi nodded, secretly deciding to also give her a chance for a fair duel.

"By the way! In the spider cave, what exactly happened? Why did ice cracks appear all over your body?" Li Youyi asked casually.

Who knew that when Yao Yin heard this, only the word "all over" kept echoing in her head, and she immediately thought of some bad images. The good expression she had just now instantly disappeared, and her eyes turned cold and dark.

"Shameless, it seems Hidden Twenty-Four was not wrong at all."

Yao Yin snorted, mobilized her magic power, and walked away quickly, not wanting to walk with him anymore.

Li Youyi stood frozen in place, extremely confused, completely unaware of which sentence he had said wrong, and muttered to himself: "It's her problem, definitely not my problem. Hmm... what exactly did Hidden Twenty-Four babble about? How can a Hidden One be so gossipy?"

Arriving at the medicinal diet kitchen, Li Youyi and Yao Yin sat at the furthest distance apart again.

The surviving trial-takers arrived one after another; only eighteen remained, all present.

The reason they came so neatly.

Was because today's medicinal diet was generous, a reward for everyone who passed the trial.

"In the first trial, eight people died. It seems that even without killing each other, wanting to survive the last month is by no means an easy task," an Eight Springs human Wu Xiu said in a tone of reminder.

Of the four Eight Springs Wu Xiu, one had died, leaving three.

The tiger-like deviant race Eight Springs Wu Xiu licked his lips and laughed: "If you eliminate all competitors in advance, you don't have to undergo the trial and can win directly."

That Eight Springs human Wu Xiu's expression was ugly, knowing he was no match for him.

Once defeated, it meant death.

After finishing the medicinal diet.

Yao Yin suddenly rushed out like lightning, her speed extremely fast, and the magic dagger in her hand stabbed directly at Li Qing.

Without any warning.

Even Li Youyi was shocked, never expecting that the tiger-like deviant race Eight Springs Wu Xiu, who kept making threats, wouldn't act, but the soft and weak Yao Yin would become the first person to publicly assassinate a competitor.

Clearly, it was also beyond Li Qing's expectations, and he could only respond in a hurry.

"Swish!"

The dagger grazed Li Qing's neck narrowly, leaving a bloodstain on his chin.

Just a little bit more, and Li Qing would have been sent away in one strike.

"Good! Since you are actively seeking death, I will send you, this Pure Immortal Body, out of the game in advance."

Li Qing touched his chin, his hands full of blood. After the shock, the killing intent in his eyes was exposed, and he drew his sword and swung it out.

Yao Yin had originally wanted to rely on her advantage in movement technique, plus the secret that the other party didn't know she had broken through, to catch Li Qing, this strongest opponent, off guard and send him away. Because a month ago, when Li Qing fought Hidden Nine, she saw that his movement speed was a weakness.

But she didn't expect that in just one month, Li Qing would have made up for this weakness.

The movement technique he used to dodge her assassination just now clearly reached the Heavenly Dao Law Convergence level.

"Swish! Swish..."

Both of their movement techniques were exquisite, rushing out of the medicinal diet kitchen and appearing on the plaza beneath the telekinetic stone wall. In an instant, there were countless figures, and magic tools collided repeatedly.

The Pure Immortal Body possesses the perverted combat power to fight across a realm; this is a common sense recognized by the world.

That Eight Springs tiger-like deviant race member stared at the battlefield: "What a pity! Just a little bit more, and the assassination would have succeeded."

Although he said it was a pity, a look of relief appeared on his face.

Li Youyi said: "You go and help her, or you might be able to send that Nine Springs Supreme Human away."

"And then? The first person she kills next will be me." The Eight Springs tiger-like deviant race Wu Xiu was not stupid and knew very well who the biggest enemy was at this stage.

"Puff!"

Li Qing performed a Heavenly Dao Law Convergence level sword technique, and a piercing sword sound rang out, breaking Yao Yin's Heavenly Wind Palm Technique with one strike.

The sword tip pierced through her palm, coming out the back of her hand.

Yao Yin bit her teeth, endured the pain, immediately pulled out her bloody palm, performed her movement technique, and disappeared into the Purple Bamboo Forest in an instant.

"Just broken through to Eight Springs, and you dare to assassinate me? Isn't that a bit too urgent?"

Li Qing roared angrily, not chasing, but instead holding his blood-stained long sword, looking at the crowd behind him with murderous intent. Especially, his gaze was fixed on Li Youyi.

Because just now, when he wanted to take advantage of the victory to kill Yao Yin, Li Youyi's magic Qi fluctuation appeared behind him.

He knew Li Youyi was not simple and was specifically found by the Earth Wolf King Army to monitor him, but in the current situation, it was clear that only one of them could survive.

Just now, Li Youyi must have wanted to learn from Yao Yin and assassinate him.

After this Pure Immortal Body was injured, she would definitely be hunted down by all the Eight Springs Wu Xiu. But before that, Li Qing was very worried that all the Eight Springs Wu Xiu would unite to eliminate him first.

So after much thought, Li Qing didn't immediately chase the "cornered enemy" who couldn't run away, but prepared to intimidate the "group of enemies" who were ready to move.

"Hidden Twenty-Four, Hidden Twenty-Five, that Pure Immortal Body overestimated herself and has already attacked me. Can I go and kill her at any time now?"

Li Qing shouted to the two Hidden Ones standing at the edge of the plaza.

Hidden Twenty-Five said: "As long as the lower-realm person attacks first, they lose the qualification to be protected. If you want to kill her, we naturally won't stop you anymore."

Li Qing stared at all the Eight Springs Wu Xiu, including Li Youyi: "Did you hear clearly? You only have one life. Before attacking, you'd better weigh your own strength."

Li Youyi really wanted to attack just now, but thinking that he still had some doubts in his heart, he had to contact Li Qing privately to verify, so he restrained himself.

"If I challenge the telekinetic wall painting, can they attack me?" Li Qing prepared to add another layer of intimidation and asked this.

Hidden Twenty-Four said: "Of course not."

"That's good!"

Li Qing walked toward the telekinetic stone wall and pressed his hand on it.

"Whoosh!"

Hidden Nine's half-virtual, half-real light shadow walked out of the stone wall, holding a giant axe, and attacked the challenger, Li Qing.

With a roar, the giant axe collided with the long sword in Li Qing's hand.

Li Qing's body slid backward for four zhang, his face instantly turned pale, and the hand holding the sword trembled non-stop. Facing the second axe from Hidden Nine, he immediately performed his Heavenly Dao Law Convergence movement technique and dodged.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Li Youyi watched the battlefield of one man and one shadow and nodded lightly.

Li Qing's progress in this month was too great!

A month ago, with just one strike, his long sword was knocked away, and he had no power to resist.

Li Qing withstood seven moves and finally dropped his long sword, immediately admitting defeat.

Hidden Twenty-Five was shocked: "How could he progress so much? I can only withstand four moves from Hidden Nine now."

A look of wonder also appeared in Hidden Twenty-Four's eyes: "A person who can become a Nine Springs Supreme Human outside is naturally not simple."

Hidden Twenty-Three arrived, his massive body appearing beside them, and said: "He obtained a fortuitous encounter in the Nine Springs trial, and the meridians in his body are probably close to all-silver meridians. At most another month, when he reaches all-silver meridians, he will truly be invincible among this batch of people."

"But he still can't be Hidden Nine's opponent! Hidden Nine is the ultimate human, possessing one hundred silver meridians," Hidden Twenty-Five said.

The newcomer was so strong that Hidden Twenty-Four felt pressure, and his gaze couldn't help but glance at Li Youyi.

Li Qing picked up the long sword on the ground, scanned the group of Eight Springs Wu Xiu who were frightened, and then chased after Yao Yin's residual aura, disappearing into the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Someone was dejected and said bitterly: "What is the point of continuing the trial for our batch? I feel that the quota for Hidden Twenty-Six can no longer be anyone else!"

The tiger-like deviant race Eight Springs Wu Xiu said: "Why don't we all unite to eliminate him first?"

"Unite? Just us? If that Pure Immortal Body hadn't lost a hand, we would have a chance if we united with her. But now, with one hand, her combat power is probably not much stronger than yours."

……

Li Youyi walked across the plaza, glanced at the red telekinetic stone wall in the distance, didn't want to hit those pitiful guys anymore, and decided to find Li Qing first.

Li Qing performed his movement technique, following the Blood River, and chased downstream.

"Want to escape? Where can you escape to? Once you pass this valley, there are fierce insects everywhere."

Li Qing chased for more than twenty miles and suddenly slowed his pace. Three underground river tributaries appeared before him.

His gaze locked onto the narrow underground river cave on the far right, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "The scent on your body is constantly exposing your whereabouts; how can you escape? You don't dare to go deep inside. You must be hiding at the cave entrance. Fierce insects are entrenched inside; your flesh will be gnawed bit by bit, and that pain will be like being sliced a thousand times, worse than death."

"Come out. Dying under my sword is much more refreshing than dying in the hands of fierce insects."

Yao Yin, hiding in the shadows of the cave entrance, tore off a strip of cloth from her clothes, bit her teeth, and tremblingly bandaged her constantly bleeding palm, sweating from the pain.

When Li Qing's magic long sword pierced her palm, the sword edge contained magic Qi, and the wound could not heal in a short time.

"Yao Yin, don't be afraid... you were going to die sooner or later... don't be afraid, you lost, but didn't you prepare to lose before coming to the Hidden Sect? You won't be afraid... you won't, fight!"

She sat on the ground with her back against the stone wall, her chest heaving, trying to overcome her fear of Li Qing, recover her fighting spirit and state as soon as possible, and just as she gathered the courage to rush out, a familiar voice sounded outside.

"Li Qing, it's time we had a good talk about things between us, right?"
